written: from off in asia

oh, that so-called "deep respect" of his

it all got you nowhere

it just left you penniless and abused


I don't really believe that ghosts exist but sometimes I pretend that it's true.


when you're out on your own


I know you're/it's/i'm not there


the train I sleep on

on the way there

pulls to a stop

for the one waiting for me


a soldier's smile (after a hard fought day)


walking barefoot on the beach


tree's eye view


I like to write more than I like to read


we walk the same road that the dog shits on


the best part of being up at 4 in the morning is that all of my inhibitions are thrown to the wind and my deepest emotions and desires reveal themselves to others


Those tv-stricken, parents of parents: their first date was on "The Dating Game"; their honeymoon was on "The Newlywed Show".


I wish I knew my own desires

(I wish I knew who my perfect girl was); I wish I knew if it was you;

Musical Interlude

What I do know is that I chose you;

Sigh

I wish I knew if I was right.


I ask if you will in my dreams, yet I can't manage a single word in real life.


it's not hard to imagine you with other men because all I have to do is see you in real life.


you talked to me of boys you liked, and all I thought about was how much I wished you would include the boy you were talking to.


every person's life is an unwatched soap opera.


I'm going to have to ask you to leave


she holds her own fashion lights


with the benefit of hindsight


less than impressed


shoot the breeze


that certain somebody means more to me than just some body


categories divide.


white on white is something I wish for


if it weren't for me then you'd be dead - three doors down - "kryptonite"


every time I need to someone to talk to, I climb (name of a mountain that is in the character's hometown) and I speak to the world


we wade deeper into jungle war - life magazine

____

you call me by my new last name - gwen stefani - "cool"


out and about: I am uplifted by the everyday


these creatures come to life as I unearth the bones/remnants from the dirt


out and about: challenge the future

____

I tried to call, but your phone number let me down


out and about: run or be run over


we are the ill-prepared


out and about: we are the world

____

they're sharing a drink called loneliness, but it's better than drinking alone - billy joel - piano man

____

I follow because I have nowhere to go


i listened to your emotions gradually change as the messages on my answering machine went on


Dear God, make me a bird so I can fly far far away - "Jenny", in Forrest Gump


I'm not running, I'm leaving.


underneath the oak tree, watching the clouds weave between the branches.
