forever today

this is my love song to you
and i know i promised to
love you forever today
and i think that much can stay

forever's not that long
today is almost gone
so thank you for this last chance
and thanks for that last dance

standing there in the cold
expecting to be told
that this was just too crazy
and that you could not love me

instead you gave me a smile
and i held you close awhile
until you carried me along
after i sang you a song

so this is my love song to you
i know i promised to
never be far away
and love you forever today

corazón

i never wanted to think you'd steal from me
but i've searched high and low and i cant find this thing i need
my heart used to pound silently behind my ribs
now i'd give you anything if you could tell me where it is

did you throw it out the open window of your car?
did you leave it in the bathroom when i left you at the bar?
did you lose it at my friend's house along with your keys?
or did you lock it away someplace you know i'll never see?

but hand me fiction, hand me lies you tell to me
hand me anything that reminds me who to be
cause ill tell you baby when i try and look inside myself
i don't see all of me, unless i'm there with someone else

we've been talking 'round in circles for what feels like sixteen years
who knew there were sixteen different ways to say one fear
if we could write them all down and try to choose to use the best
maybe i could use the other ones to patch my gaping chest

so hand me fiction, hand me lies you tell to me
hand me anything that reminds me who to be
cause ill tell you baby when i try and look inside myself
i don't see all of me, unless i'm there with someone else

now i'm losing blood and plasma every second that i sing
but i guess it'd be the same no matter what i was doing
like sitting on my porch and trying hard not to see
all the different ways you cam and stole my heart from me
