walking home, I can see my breath snow white, tripping over myself music is playing but the lights are dead cause I don't wanna face the words in my own head wide awake in the middle of the night couldn't guess in the space and quiet there's a poet buried and scared I don't wanna let these words come up for air so think a little less and dream you live in a parallel place maybe there's a you who looks and loves just like you do so be a little more and stare into that questioning gaze maybe there's a you who looks and loves just like you do built a world inside of my head it's beautiful to play pretend building a train to get there too pretending not to know the tracks will crumble soon write it off and send away a package to a you that's far away just a poet buried and scared I don't wanna let these words come up for air so think a little less and dream you live in a parallel place maybe there's a you who looks and loves just like you do so be a little more and stare into that questioning gaze maybe there's a you who looks and loves just like you do so just be happy with what you have not everybody can say that so think a little less and dream you live in a parallel place maybe there's a you who looks and loves just like you do so be a little more and stare into that questioning gaze maybe there's a you who looks and loves just like you do

Mama said don't worry, you'll understand it someday People are just human, say things they don't mean to say But mama, I'm different. I think that I love ladies and I don't think it's recent - been true since you made me. Is that why they tease me? Think they know how to read me but I'm more than just the things I love, yeah Is that why they hate me? Think it's the way you raised me but I'm glad to be the kind of me I am today Mama, I'm open, but the family is quiet Am I a ghost in the lives of the silent? Well mama, I found her, I think we're getting married and it's gonna get louder, but I won't let them break me. Is that why they tease me? Think they know how to read me but I'm more than just the things I love, yeah Is that why they hate me? Think it's the way you raised me but I'm glad to be the kind of me I am today Cause I was just a black sheep, hiding in the herd Deep within my own apologies And they were shouting at me, size me up naively Give birth to my insecurities It's not as if it's a choice but I found my voice Is that why they tease me? Think they know how to read me but I'm more than just the things I love, yeah Is that why they hate me? Think it's the way you raised me but I'm glad to be the kind of me I am today Mama, I'm open, I've always been your baby Of course I have flaws, but I've been good since you made me.

I found a letter in the pocket of my new coat It was addressed to somebody I didn't know "Dance with me" they said to somebody "Dance with me while I..." Impatiently wish for someone to hold your hand So gracefully wish for someone to take a chance and love you You only get what you think you might deserve so don't accept anything just for the words "Talk with me" you'll say to someone new "Walk with me while I..." Impatiently wish for someone to hold your hand So gracefully wish for someone to take a chance and love you You've got to exist somewhere inside I'm checkin my pulse to find you hiding but all I can feel is stone so where is that heart of gold you once owned Impatiently wish for someone to hold your hand So gracefully wish for someone to take a chance and love you
