I knocked and you answered Then you invited me in. We had been dating once... And now we've decided to be friends. The apartment smelled of cheap cigarettes and booze and now there's only quietness here And there's nothing to lose! We decide to sit And shoot the breeze Have a few beers talking's such ease Your unshaven stubble Adds a brand new look Can't you stop looking so Se xy You've got me hooked. And your clothes are comfortable like our relationship - worn. i've got to get outta here before this turns into porn You're house is messy like it always was I used to take care of you Like the land of oz. You were my tinman And I was your girl We wanted a few totos Till it started to unfurl. Now I'm here in your midst And I can't concentrate on anything but you Why didn't it last?  Let's try a re-do.

I listened to my father   On my graduation day He said you're not getting younger And there's no time left to play.   But I wanted to explore Down in Mexico I wanted to sew my seeds And forget what it was all for And I was lost As a man has a right to be I was lost On my epic journey And it's time for me to wander To be hungry, wild and good. They'll ne'er understand me I'm just misunderstood. At his party,  My best friend said to me,  Tie the knot And build a family Cuz we don't have much longer To get started down this road Look-  dude you have Marcy You're at a crossroad. But I wanted to explore Down in Mexico I wanted to journey down See the city, Cuzco! And I was lost As a man has a right to be. And I was lost On my epic journey! And it's time for me to wander To be hungry wild and free It's time for me to lose myself-  Nowhere I'd rather be! And so...

She decided she needed something different She decided to change something for real She always had hated her earlobes Her lips would never "seal the deal". Her tummy was now flabby And her arms now jiggled when she walked She wanted some quick fix that reflected a "new" girl Instead of the girl she got.  So she went to the cosmopolitan city And checked in at the spa And she had her looks evaluated They even checked out her ta ta's!  And when they finished up the exam An estimate they had comprised They told her to come back again,  Once she had gotten over her surprise.... Because the list was now quite long Longer than she suspected once before And she wondered how she had not known To much of her bitter horror! She went home and thought about it And cried a little too-  How could the people at the spa Let her leave with so much left to do?  Then she drove back to the city With all the money she had saved,  And asked fo...

Bury the stories I've shared with you Put them in a box for a rainy day When you're home all alone And you're scarred- and your torn You can come back to them. Love isn't just passion in the dark It's when you've been through something together And you open your heart And you give something away,  and you get something back, And you find beauty, trust and love there Don't forget the stories we've shared Remember what it all meant and how we got there Remember the games that we played  And the bed that we made and promise me that you'll remember So we've had years of both bad and good Had busy lives in this neighborhood May've fought once in a while But we always reconciled And we always had trust and beauty there. I was in the yard when I got the news It was a letter from my doctor about the bruise I had a positive test The timeline was hard-pressed. God smashed my beauty and trust there.  They s...

Why do you ask when it's not yours to know? Why do you always say things that leave me wanting more? When I hear your voice it's more than just a song.... It's the passion that keeps me turned on... Could this be forever, of wanting you so near? Right now you're miles away, would it be the same if you were here?' Desire is a loud noise that screams from my soul These inherent urges keep me from being in control. Could you stop asking me if I'm finally over you? Why would you ask, if it wasn't madness for you too... ?

Twilight and midsummer nights, The forest awards from her sleep. The fairy elves dance in the new fallen snow, And the sleepy-eyed owl watches them. She keeps them all under watch Guarding them ever so Willing to protect their Mystical play Yet careful to never be heard!
