passenger seat

i want to be the one who laughs
when you wake yourself up
i want to be the one who thinks it's cute
when you slurp when you eat your peach
i want to be the one who has you singing
in the bathroom
i want to be the one who keeps you asking
what you doing now

put me in the passenger seat
take the lead
we'll make ends meet
in the passenger seat

want to be the one you call
when something major happens
let me be the one who holds your hand
when you wait to hear the news
let me be the one who makes you laugh
in the heat of a card game
let me be the one
let me be the last one on your mind
before you go to sleep

put me in the passenger seat
take the lead
we'll make ends meet
in the passenger seat

i want to be the one
who has you singing in the bathroom
i want to be the one
who has you asking what you doing now
let me be the one
who makes you laugh in the heat of a card game
let me be the one
let me be the last one on your mind before you go to sleep

put me in the passenger seat
take the lead
we'll make ends meet
in the passenger seat

in the passenger seat

sayonara

at the airport
wet rainfall from my eyes
a cork in my throat
i don't want to open the bottle
and let it all out

say sayonara my friend
it's a new position
just one more goodbye my friend
i promise you
i promise you it won't be the last one

coffee
tv and the soft green green grass
sopping clothing from the thunder
it's dancing
dancing on me

say sayonara my friend
it's a new position
just one more goodbye my friend
i promise you
i promise you
it won't be the last one

letters will do us good
and memories will follow through
as long as we remember
as long as we remember
as long as we remember
we'll stay true

say sayonara my friend
it's a new position
just one more goodbye my friend
i promise you
i promise you it won't be the last one

vitamin

is it like you're staring at the sun
is your vision blurred
i revel in the confusion of your smile
makes me feel assured

you gave a boost to my system
made me stronger
my eyes now glisten
your anguish gives me fuel
it's my vitamin

i need my vitamin

to fend off that what comes near
is my reverse psychology working
it was unintentional
but i think it's worth it

you gave a boost to my system
made me stronger
my eyes now glisten
your anguish gives me fuel
it's my vitamin

i need my vitamin

it's like your staring at the sun
your vision is blurred
you give me
you give me fuel

i need my vitamin

not to you

broad and strong your shoulders
like soft steel
the embracement like no other
oh the safety
i close my heavy eyes and i pray
pray that this moment would never end

please why is this so hard
it cracks my ribs and breaks my heart to see you leave

just one tender kiss and a touch on my arm
send me flying i'm crying
to myself
i see the images playing
like a broken record over and over

please why is this so hard
it racks my brain and stains my heart
to see you walk down those solid stairs
again

please why is this so hard
i can't say goodbye
not to you, not to you
not to you, not to you

not to you

the rigid lens

woke up this morning
thought i might give it a try
why not put a shard of plastic hell into my eyes for a day
thought it was a good idea

walk outside on my way to class
phone in hand as i get the latest goss
thank you invisible molecule so small yet i can still feel it

right now
in my eye
under my lens
the pain begins
i feel the scratch
a needle
piercing through my cornea
the twitch is unstoppable
maybe my fingers can help
the ducts open up
and the tears flow
and flow
get
the hell
out of
my eye
you piece
of crap
it's hopeless
all i can hear is pain
flush it out
GET OUT
there's no way
oh great odin's raven
the lens in the inner corner of my eye
not now
i can't take it
make it stop
move it away
the tears flow
and flow
and flow
and
eureka
i found it at last
relief
i exhale
let my soul back in
for for that one split second
i was not on the street
i was in a rigid contact lens netherworld
oh sweet solace
wipe the tears
on with life
goodnight
