Double Chocolate Chip Mornings
As the sun comes out above me
It comes out above you, too
We are like a split double chocolate chip cookie
No longer in the right place,
Or the right shape,
Or the right colors
Double chocolate chip mornings
As the grass beneath my feet emerges
You’re laughing too
A constant sound trapped inside me
No longer together,
Or sharing inside jokes,
But yet not apart
Mint ice cream afternoons
As the air gets colder and the wind plays with my hair
It’s teasing you, too
A constant sound trapped inside me
No longer together,
Or sharing inside jokes,
But yet not apart

The Same
Imagine what the world would be like
If everyone were the same…
We would all be named Carl
And live in a dump
And all have the same favorite ice cream
If everyone was the same
We would have one color
In the whole wide world
Because we'd all have the same
favorite color
We would all eat pizza
for every meal
And we'd probably be tired of it
If everyone was the same
We would all wear purplish clothes
And have a pet carrot
His name would be King Louie XVIII
We would all have pink hair

Under The Summer Rain
Drops rippling
In the lake where we were raised,
In the place where we met each other
Under the summer rain
Thunder cracks
Lightning threatens
Shadows on the dock, silenced
Calm, listening
To the summer rain
A splash in the distance
All of us wondering what emerged
Through the summer rain
The woods where we play empty
Heeding directions we’ve heard all these years
Under the summer rain
The time goes by so fast
Wasn’t it yesterday when we were
Six, seven, eight, listening
To the summer rain?
But we’re just as beautiful now

Till The End Of Time
Broken promises, broken hearts
I keep my chin up
as if nothing's happened
As if you never left
I'll stand here waiting for you
till the end of time
As I'm standing here I'm wondering
If you feel anything at all
We've been here what feels like
Our whole lives
Sharing inside jokes, sudden nothing
Suddenly you're gone like a whistle
on the wind
Nothing happened a couple of hours ago
it's all in my head
But deep down I know
That I'll stand here waiting for you
till the end of time
I'll accept your apology
On one condition- you understand

Can I
When she says,
When I think of generosity
I think of you
Can I stay with you
For a while?
I say,
You don't have to
But inside
I say,
I want you to
When she says,
When I think of honesty
Loyalty
I think of you
Can I stay by your side?
I say,
That's okay
I can do it
By myself
But inside

Oops
“oh, it was an accident
i didn’t mean to hurt you”
how many times have i heard that…
i can’t count
too many
and i think
yeah, right
you’re not sorry
and never will be
you’ll always leave me hanging
on that single thread
hanging onto one hope
you’re not sorry
and never will be
screaming through my window
you’re not sorry
and now my words pay you back…
oops, it was an accident
i didn’t mean to hurt you
and laughing out into the darkness

Fire and Screams
You called my name
Urgently called my name
But I didn't hear you
Through the fire and screams
I looked for you
Desperately looked for you
But I couldn't find you
There was fire and screams
Hiding that I think of you
Every few minutes, I should say
Just hold on to me
Through that fire, those screams
Trust won't break through the fire and screams
It will grow against gravity
The gravity of moments that took my breath away
The pull of me and you, the right choice
The urging to stay calm
Through the fire and screams
But then there's always the evil gravity
The gravity of uncertainty, of fears

A Remarkable World
A remarkable world of new friends
A remarkable world of sorrow
A remarkable world of yesterday
A remarkable world of tomorrow
What a nuisance
And yet what a place
These days are dreadful
Because they provide a race
A race of time, a race of one desire
Everyone has a need
Even if they are leaving
They've made a choice to succeed
Still the race continues on
We never want it to end
It seems like no one is going to win this
Until the very last bend
Through the years we've been higher and higher
Towering above what the world knows
Still we keep on moving
Until someone slows

Still Here
I know that I'm someone
who's been here forever
and you do…
I know that we are young
and I know I shouldn't be
but I am…
Chorus
I know what people say
but I'm ignoring them
I know what you want
and you're drifting away
But you're still here, this is still right…
Forever and ever
End chorus
I know that they're wrong
that's why I'm writing this, baby
And I know we're together
