return from summer

hello,
and from there where else can we go?
hello,
a song,
i'm expected now to play along
with a song.

you crook,
just a boy sitting there with his book
...and a smile that the camera took
leaving you just the same as you always looked

as for me,
i'm as changed as a girl can be
can't you see
that i've flown
to the edges of the earth and home?
i've flown from your chair
i can tell you can tell it from there
...that i may have been everywhere

but i'm back,
back to the starting square

in my nights
i have bargained with the eastern lights
in my nights,
we've met
and the trouble was no trouble at all
and forget,
dreaming we spoke
chalked it up to a terrible joke
and then we each took ahold of the rope
with one match
and the problem went up in smoke

it's just there,
it's not right or wrong or fair
it's just there,
a big heart,
a rotten ending and a fumbling start
a big heart,
and isn't it so
that when i see you at the end of this show
that we'll start with the places we know?

and walk along
down the road that we always go

everything i wanted

waking up with you makes me feel alive
and every kiss you give still takes me by surprise
so i thought that i would tell the world today
my life has changed, so i'll say...

you're not a stranger, you're not just a friend
you're not just a lover who's sleeping in my bed
you're what i came for, always thinking of
you are everything i wanted out of love

you watch me with your eyes,
you give me all your time
someone i can't forget,
and i always dreamed i'd find
so i thought i'd tell the world today
all because of you i'll never be the same

you're not a stranger, you're not just a friend
you're not just a lover who's sleeping in my bed
you're what i came for, always thinking of
you are everything i wanted out of love

so many times i've told you so
well i guess i've wanted you to know...

be with you tonight

there's something in the air tonight
i feel it my bones...
i'm just a little restless, reckless,
don't wanna be alone
i need to feel your body next to mine
burning up my skin
i get a little crazy, baby, every now and then

and i don't wanna do what i wanna do
'cause i know what i wanna do wouldn't be right
but i don't wanna sleep,
i just wanna keep somebody up all night


so i call you,
like i always do when i'm lonely
to tell the truth
i just wanna be with you tonight
i know you're not mine
but sometimes i can't get you off my mind
and i just wanna be with you tonight

i won't ask for promises
or try to make you stay
it's enough to see you, breathe you
sharing the same space

and i don't wanna do what i wanna do
'cause i know what i wanna do wouldn't be right
but i don't wanna sleep,
i just wanna keep somebody up all night

so i call you,
like i always do when i'm lonely
to tell the truth
i just wanna be with you tonight
i know you're not mine
but sometimes i can't get you off my mind
and i just wanna be with you tonight

i won't say it

if there's a prize for rotten judgement,
...i guess i've already won that
no man is worth the aggravation
that's ancient history, been there, done that

who'd you think you're kidding?
he's the earth and heaven to you!
try to keep it hidden, honey we can see right through
girl you can't conceal it, we know how you're feelin'
...and who you're thinking of


no chance, no way, i won't say it

you swoon, you sigh, why deny it?

it's too cliche, i won't say i'm in love...

i thought my heart had learned its lesson
it feels so good when you start out
my head is screaming, "get a grip, girl!"
...unless you're dying to cry your heart out

you keep on denying who you are and how you're feeling
baby we're not buying, hon we saw you hit the ceiling
face it like a grown-up, when you gonna own up
that you got, got, got it back?


no chance, no way, i won't say it, no no

give up, give in...check the grin, you're in love

this scene won't play, i won't say i'm in love
you're way off base, i won't say it
get off my case, i won't say it

girl don't be proud,
it's okay, you're in love


atleast at loud...i won't say i'm in love

worried about

i'm too worried about what you're doing
are you worried about what i'm doing too?
...what you're doing to me; why can't you see?

and who could blame you, i made it so complicated
if i just drain you till working it out is overrated
but why are we so blind to see that truth and love:
they could overcome...

i'm too worried about what you're doing
you're not worried about what i'm doing too
what you're doing to me; wanna be free

i can't change you, nor was that my intention
please explain your earnest words are just shucking and jiving
you like to see your thumb on me, just checking in
...make it begin again


oh my heart, my heart's gonna break again
oh my god, my god won't forsake again
oh mercy, i want to be taken in

i'm too worried about what you're doing
you're not worried about what i'm doing too
what you're doing to me, honey why can't you see?

i'll stop worrying about what you're doing
'cause you're not worried about what i'm doing too
and then you will see...what it's like to be me

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which I will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh…And eyes big love-crumbs,

and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you quite so new

i know it's wrong

you watch me undress, you watch me glow
let my hair down and cover us both
you come in waves ; we crash and we roll
you surround me, pull me, drown me, swallow me whole

you're turning me on like a slow fire burn
i know it's wrong
still i run right into you


you pull me in close, you buckle my knees
i shake and i shiver just to feel you breathe
you trace my lines ; stirring my soul
shoot sparks at the heart of the world and i watch it explode

you're turning me on like a slow fire burn
i know it's wrong
still i run right into you

i'm pacing and you're beside me
i am so much more
i feel your fingers pound like thunder
and i am so much more
