I asked for a nickel
and you gave me a dime
I thought we'd learned the value
of each other's time
and no one asked you for the reason that you came
but I know that you'd jump at the chance just to say my name
I feel it in my bones just like
the ebb and flow and passing of time
I held this in my heart now I
I wonder if I ever really had to
I can see the only that's changed here is me
and I wont waste a minute or more
wondering if I ever really had to
I looked for a meaning
outside of myself
and electric feeling
of all that I held
and no one asked me for the reason that I came
a craving that lingers if left it will stay the same
I feel it in my bones just like
the ebb and flow and passing of time
I held this in my heart now I
I wonder if I ever really had to
I can see the only that's changed here is me
and I wont waste a minute or more
wondering if I ever really have to
I feel it in my bones just like
the ebb and flow and passing of time
I held this in my heart now I
I wonder if I ever really had to
I can see the only that's changed here is me
and I wont waste a minute or more
wondering if I ever really have to
wondering if I ever really had to
wondering if I ever really have to

Sinking Ship

In my room there's a corner of a page I left
blank for you just in case you ever came and I
held my breath small enough to give you space
well this corner of a page became all that I had left
In my head there's a symphony for two I wrote
kept it soft though I thought you heard it too well in
wrinkled brows and and the corner of your smile
well I read into the way your limbs would linger for a while
well I know everything might change
despite my tightening grip
I held on to your darkest waves
well if your love it was the sea
then I'm your sinking ship
and you might not hold me now
the way that you used to me in my dreams
I can't understand the way the world spins on its axis
if only for you and me
if only for you and me
you came like a breeze on a summer's day
thought I knew you but it was just the way
your hands seemed they could carry more than I could
take me or at least who you thought I was
who you thought that I might become
I'd be a fool to say or to pretend I didn't want the same from you
well I know everything might change
despite my tightening grip
I held on to your darkest waves
well if your love it was the sea
then I'm your sinking ship
