I gave to you, a shoulder to cry on A place to go where grace is the truth You are my friend, and close as a brother You came to me and let me see the end Waking dream, this day is hard They found me screaming from the front porch in the dark Am I awake? This isn't real, where do I start? Sobbing words a friend's support, I fall apart.

I haven't been in your arms in awhile So please, won't you forgive me if I stare The room is silent in the best way I'd almost forgotten what a pleasure just to breathe I will wait, and I will curse the sun Can't let it take you away I'll take every measure, take every breath Keep it just between us I try to remember the last time I ever found Someone to know, to be with I will wait, and I will curse the sun Can't let it take you away and I can't let you leave So I will wait, and I will curse the sun Can't let you leave

After all, do you think we'll ever know? After all, how can I let you go? Do you think it's all right to say, I might love you more every single day? I might love you more than I've ever known, I might love you, I just can't tell if I let you go.

Funny how people are drawn together, "My Parrot, My Friend" Humor like the tie in bindings, bookstore conspirator, empty hands Things aren't the way they seem, beneath the surface of everything. The motion of freedom, the days in sound. Counting the miles behind Memories made swiftly, a new adventure, never seeking permission Things aren't the way they seem, beneath the surface of everything. Never a scholar, I knew my role. You found yours in research and books Years later straining, you made your choice and put academia behind. Things aren't the way they seem, beneath the surface of everything. I lost my way, I thought I couldn't help myself, I was gone. I was gone when you reached out and saved me. Things aren't the way they seem, beneath the surface of everything. Things aren't the way they seem, beneath the surface of everything. Beneath the surface of everything: You didn't know, but you didn't know how to save yourself but you didn't know how to save yourself, how to save yourself.

It's comforting to hear your voice, I'll listen to it for awhile. I'm crying now, but it's not all that bad. I want to call you back tonight, tell you what I'm going through. The only one I want to be with is you. So, you can tell me it's alright now I want to tell you goodnight: Goodnight, So Sweet, So Sweet. There's two things running through my head Where's my love and is it dead? I'm hoping not, 'cause I want it all for you So open up and see to me. Have some fun and join the revelry 'Cause you're the one I'm wanting for me too. So, you can tell me it's alright now I want to tell you goodnight: Goodnight, So Sweet, So Sweet. You can tell me it's alright now I want to tell you goodnight: Goodnight, So Sweet, So Sweet.
