Ode

She's standing in the doorway asking me to come outside,
but I've made that mistake before and I won't make it again
I don't know how she finds a way to hide
all this evil and corruption behind those eyes
She tells me these tales of a tall man she's come to know
he is funny, he is good, he is sweet
and it fills me up with woe
oh, to be alone
ode to being alone
I'm tired of the story, I'm tired of the sad, and I'm tired of being melancholy
I'm tired of hating to see what I had, and I'm tired of feeling sorry
But I am stronger than this, at least I thought I was
I am smarter than this, at least I thought I was
I'm a happy person, at least I thought I was
I am over this, at least I thought I was
oh, to be alone
ode to being alone

Well the year's getting cold,
as the winter's getting old
I just want someone to hold,
I just want someone to hold
and I'll brush your hair behind your ear
Oh, you know "I've got your number"
I'll just hold your hand in mine,
and feel you by my side come bedtime
I'll just hold your hand in mine,
and hope you're by my side come bedtime

Well I hope home is everything you need, and you find the peace and clarity for which you plead
And I can't express how important you've been to me since way before the 18th, when we got tea at 3:15
I gave you a part of me as it got cold, and oh what a story did unfold when I opened the door and saw your face, and the wonder that it holds
Oh how grand it was when I had to stop and take a pause cause the tears from the eyes with which I saw
I sat down before my desk with a shivering within/from/ my chest, and I couldn't bring myself to free my jaw
You laugh like there's no tomorrow, yes you give it your all
And you live like you've known not sorrow, you stand tall
and I know that we both have a past, I just want this feeling to last
Oh I'm scared and I'm nervous
You're there and you are gorgeous
and we are broken,
and we have broke in
Here I am, I am in your hands

Where were you this morning when I called?
I know I don't have the authority, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried
Now there's another man you love telling me about
I don't think you understand,
and I let you walk out
I can't stand talking to you
Something has to change, one of us has to go
Now I have one question,
can you slow down, sit down, and hear:
Are you over them? these last three years?
Are you over me and these last three years?

Well you know what you want, and the things to which you'll hold on
Just don't let these little boys keep you from getting your groove on
I can hear it in your words, I can see it in your eyes
There's a clarity we all deserve, and should preserve
We should be able to occupy our own time and mind
We should be able not to mind the time we must ourselves occupy
And you have no obligation to no one but you;
if you want those Special K's, get them- it's ok
And you want to be gone
That's alright, cause a home is only a home if you feel at home
So go on, cause everything's fine
Go on, everything's fine
Go on, cause everything's fine
It will be

Well I finally found some time of my own, so I'm laying here on this couch I own
We're 10 stories high, looking down
It's a hot night in the old town tonight so won't you kill the light as I sit tight inside
and slowly get unwound
Yes,/Well don't you know that these walks to class, yes/well they're getting old
and don't you know that we're far from home and it's getting cold
Everybody moves so fast, relationships just don't last
I try to keep up, and at times I don't want to
I miss home, yes I miss you all, I wish to see you by the end of fall
and I'll ask how things go in the place you now call home
It was two months ago that we got in a van and drove to Chicago, as fast as we can
with hope in our hearts,
and open hands,
only to find that we don't understand
Well why should I try if you don't reply
I thought I'd stop by, just to say hi
cause I haven't smiled since I last saw you
No, I haven't smiled since I last saw you
