Lonely Girls

Lonely girls swallow hard at night
Fighting off sleep
Because dreaming is the saddest time.
A quiet longing
And searing heat
Folded up inside
Take it to work and in the car
To the grocery store and to the bar
And finally lay down
With a soul of desire
Emptiness running through
Like horses on fire.

Having You Around

I don't want to like you
But we both know I do
It's a fault of woman
To disregard the truth
But there's something about the way you think
That kind of sets me free
And when you crack open my mind
It does something to me.

Just tell me that you'll always tell the truth
And I will walk a mile or so with you
I am not the type to pin you down
So, I'll just say it's nice having you around.

Unlock my kiss
But you're still far from my heart
I keep myself removed just in case I fall apart
You should sense that I am delicate
In so many ways
That's why when you reach for me
I always push away

Just tell me that you'll always tell the truth
And I will walk a mile or so with you
I am not the type to pin you down
So I'll just say it's nice having you around.

Having you around is the highlight of my day
Read me like a book then you memorize the page
Take a second look at what's written 'tween the lines
Because I don't want to theorize.

There's a secret in your smile
Shared only by me
A secret that I carry too
one so inviting
But all of the things we shared last night
I bury in my skin
They wither in the morning light
And I'm alone again.

Just tell me that you'll always tell the truth
And I will walk a mile or so with you.
I am not the type to pin you down
So I'll just say it's nice having you around

Having you around is the highlight of my day
Read me like a book then you memorize the page
Take a second look at what's written 'tween the lines
Because I don't want to theorize.
