More Than Okay

I want to lean on you but know that I don’t have to
And when I want to move, I’ll move
I want to feel so safe with nothing to prove
You’ll make me unafraid to lose
If you help me
Maybe I won’t think the way I do
And the shapes floating around my head
Will finally stand still
And I’ll be more than okay
I will
I want the corners of my mouth to twitch
When I see your face
I want to lose all awareness of me
And float with you in space
If you help me
Maybe I won’t think the way I do
And the shapes floating around my head
Will finally stand still
And I’ll be more than okay
I will
I want to be the one who everyone wants to know
But never will
I’d pass through time without a thought
And never stand still
Until you’d come along and free me
If you help me
Maybe I won’t think the way I do
And the shapes floating around my head
Will finally stand still
And I’ll be okay
More than okay
I will, I will, I will.

You Were a Sister to Me

You had everybody fooled
Are you happy now?
I hear you’re more content
Than you’ve been in years
Don’t have to put up with my tears anymore
But I clearly remember you opened your door
And I was the only one you wanted to see
And you cried ‘cause you were so happy
When we ran down Palmer laughing
Naming stars, drunk and free
You were a sister to me
When we sat down at the piano
Singing harmonies
You were a sister to me
When you saw that I was down
You made me talk ‘til you could see
You were a sister to me
I picture your life now
But it’s not you, its someone else
Everyone’s replaced, and so to close the deal
You replaced yourself
Without you there’s a gaping hole
And so I can’t be free
‘Cause I talked and talked ‘til you could see
But you sucked that talk right out of me
And I feel empty
When we ran down Palmer laughing
Naming stars, drunk and free
You were a sister to me
When we sat down at the piano
Singing harmonies
You were a sister to me
When you saw that I was down
You made me talk ‘til you could see
You were a sister to me
You had everybody fooled
You may be happy now
But you have people just like me
Who trust you like I did somehow
And who’s to say you won’t suck the life out of them eventually
You were a sister to me
When we ran down Palmer laughing
Naming stars, drunk and free
You were a sister to me
When we sat down at the piano
Singing harmonies
You were a sister to me
When you saw that I was down
You made me talk ‘til you could see
You were a sister to me
And I talked and talked and talked and talked
And talked and talked, and now I see
Yes I was wrong
But a real sister would never do this to me.

Lady

Lady of the night
As long as no one knows
She’ll remain a virgin
In her own eyes
Lady of the night
As long as no one knows
She’ll remain a virgin
In her own eyes
Oh don’t touch me there
How ironically chaste
Once the warmth, so delectable, settles
You still think he won’t be getting a taste?
Lady of the night
As long as she leaves quickly
She’ll remain a virgin
In her own eyes
Lady of the night
As long as she's still lonely
She’ll remain a virgin
In her own eyes
Just once, touch me there
She’s playing Jekyll & Hyde
The liquid poison hits and she can’t resist
So then she’ll rationalize
And she lies
She lies, lies, lies, lies, lies
When they touch her there
She goes along for the ride
But morning after hazy morning
She's never been satisfied
I’m just a lady of the night
All dressed in white
But when you undress me
You will see with your own eyes.

To You, From Me

You weren't you anymore
And yet I'd never loved you more
Stay with me, believe in me
But it's not about me
And we told you, you can let go
I sang you to sleep
And I hope you keep
That part of me I never would show
I sang you to sleep
And I hope you're free
Now every song I sing
Every song I sing
Now every song's to you, from me
You were yourself ten years ago
Spoke with a wink on the phone
I ran downstairs and you were there
And we sat together
But then I woke up
I sang you to sleep
And I hope you keep
That part of me I never would show
I sang you to sleep
And I hope you're free
Now every song I sing
Every song I sing
Now every song's to you, from me
You're still here
You're still here
In your flowered mug
Your silver turquoise ring
Every other memory-charged material thing
I'll kiss them all
I'll kiss them all
For every yikes I said
For every time I scowled
For every time my walls were up
And I didn't allow you to show me
Show me
Just say it one more time
The words that embarrassed me
Tell me you adore me
Tell me you adore me
I sang you to sleep
And I hope you're free
I hope you're free.
