we've spent a lifetime apart
so i keep a record in my heart
of all the waiting in the wings i've done
a wretched little tale i've spun
because its everyday i'm waiting for more
a message from the opposite shore
some coded beeps that i can never unwind
and i'm not even sure that you mind
it's a repetition every day
just waiting on the words to say
god i'm desperate to hear your voice
i wish i even had a damn choice
cause when i stare across the gap between our hearts
I WANNA MEET YOU IN THE MIDDLE
i wanna meet you in the middle
baby do you know what you wanna hear?
'cause you can say the word, make it all so clear
or you can sit around, watch it disappear
(watch the truth, it breaks in two)
but you don't even know what you wanna say
it only takes an instant to slip away
but if you grab a hold, make a grand escape
(one to two, just me and you)
singing
dream together, we can dream together
we can fantasize about the fairer weather
if we stay together, we can stay together
hold each other closer like we're birds of a feather
dream together, we can dream together
baby, ain't nobody gonna live forever
so we stay together, we should stay together
hold each other closer like we're birds of a feather
i've been wanting for a shot that's sharp
so i paint a target on my heart
hoping bow and arrow strikes me true
so i can throw it back to you
but baby aim is all i got to show
an imitation cupid's bow
and i'm a fool without a firing zone
i just don't want to be alone
now i'm walking 'round the corner again
but i don't want the story to end
god i'm desperately falling so far
i'll fall until it breaks my heart
and though i'm staring out the hole between my lungs
I WANNA CLOSE IT JUST A LITTLE
so can we close it just a little
baby do you know what you wanna hear?
'cause you can say the word, make it all so clear
or you can sit around, watch it disappear
(watch the truth, it breaks in two)
but you don't even know what you wanna say
you'll wait until your life starts to slip away
but if you grab a hold, let the message play
(one to two, just me and you)
singing
dream together, we can dream together
we can fantasize about the fairer weather
if we stay together, we can stay together
hold each other closer like we're birds of a feather
dream together, we can dream together
baby, ain't nobody gonna live forever
so we stay together, we should stay together
hold each other closer like we're birds of a feather
but when i stare across the gap between
the sprawl and all the little things
the borders break and fall away
to order from the disarray
i understand what i should know
i knock an arrow on my bow
and fire across the evermore
i shoot to hit the grand restore
and fall at last to land between your arms
I THINK I LOVE YOU JUST A LITTLE
or maybe more than just a little!

i spend my hours doing alchemy
i mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
prosaic practice of depravity
suspending innocents above their disbelief
i wish that i could paint a pretty picture onto everything
and leave a mark upon the world that felt like anything
but maybe that's the essence of an artist and their legacy
just chasing down a sense of infamy
put brush to canvas with a pirouette
a simple motion makes the consequence intricate
all the little nothings and my parapet
i hope its something that you don't forget
cadmium red is the ground beneath
cadmium orange everything i see
cadmium yellow is the air i breathe
cadmium colors painted inside me
i can make autumn from a single leaf
steal a fine picture like a first class thief
make the water work like you won't believe
find a new world that can set you free
how could anybody ever live like me?
i spend my hours doing alchemy
i make a life producing zinc inside the smeltery
its not exactly where i want to be
but wanting doesn't matter when there's mouths to feed
i wish that i could paint a pretty picture of a fantasy
and turn a feeling to a living for my family
instead i make the metals in the pigments in my reverie
and maybe that can be enough for me
oh, isn't it funny facing destiny?
its like a knife inside twisting my arteries
god, i want for nothing but identity
i think that something might be wrong with me
cadmium red is the ground beneath
cadmium orange everything i see
cadmium yellow is the air i breathe
cadmium colors painted inside me
antegrade fever, 101 degrees
shatter my body with a gentle breeze
dammit i am real and i have my dreams
watch me burn brighter til i fail to breathe
how could anybody ever live like me?
(baby do you know what it's like to die)
(to watch the sparkle fade from inside your eye)
I can't remember what it's like to feel autonomy
can't even feel it in the moments that you left to me
(i don't wanna leave with a work undone)
(the paint can barely dry 'fore it fills my lungs)
i kept a bullet in the chamber, taunting me
but i don't wanna feel it coming out of me
i don't want-
i spend my hours doing alchemy
i mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
chasing impossible philosophy
and hoping that this poison ain't the death of me
cadmium red is the ground beneath
cadmium orange everything i see
cadmium yellow is the air i breathe
cadmium colors painted inside me
i can make autumn from a single leaf
steal a fine picture like a first class thief
make the water work like you won't believe
find a new world that can set you free
how could anybody ever live like-
(baby do you know what you wanna hear?)
('cause you can say the word, make it all so clear)
we're all just searching for a sense of solidarity
to hold each other close and confiscate our destiny
(no one wants to leave with a work undone)
(we only need a brush we can pass along)
i kept a bullet in the chamber for a rainy day
but whats the point in planning for it anyway?
i've got too many colors for a shade of grey
and i can make it autumn every single day

to spend a moment at your beck and call
oh, i would give my world to you
i live my life in simple repetition
but i would start again if it did you right
oh, i spend my days my fists against this wall
but not a single sound seems to make it through
count on my fingers all the grand admissions
and i can't make it through a single time
all i wanna do is to do you right
i wish that i could climb to the greatest heights
all the world beneath me when i meet your eye
i wish that i could fall
a little bit harder
i wish that i could fall
like it would even matter
i wish that i could fall
right into your life
but im not there at all
on the other side
i wish that i could fall
and hit the ground running
i wish that i could fall
instead of doing nothing
i wish that i could fall
right between your eyes
but you just stand so tall
im left out of sight
i wish that i could fall
somewhere it wont hurt
awake uneasy when the morning calls
oh, i would give my world to you
i life my life in simple repetition
but i can barely call what i live my life
all i wanna do is to do you right
hold up two fingers, check my double vision
beside myself again, beaten black and blue
without a purpose, i'm an apparition
but i could be your sword, you could hold me tight
all i wanna do is to do you right
i wish that i could fly with these broken wings
if it was meant for you, i'd do anything
i wish that i could fall
a little bit harder
i wish that i could fall
like it would even matter
i wish that i could fall
right into your life
but im not there at all
on the other side
i wish that i could fall
and see the sky clearly
i wish that i could fall
not miss the ground completely
i wish that i could fall
somewhere close to you
but i don't land at all
drifting out of view
i wish that i could fall
but only truly backwards
right into your arms
a fire lit within my chest
my heart's been burning, wholly dispossessed
(these barely-blinking eyes that refuse to cry)
oh, what i wouldn't give to stay
to have my joy and sorrow cast away
but even if my wings have been set alight
all that i can do is to learn to fly
all i wanna do is to do you right
i wish that i could fall
a little bit harder
i wish that i could fall
like it would even matter
i wish that i could fall
right into your life
but im not there at all
on the other side
i wish that i could fall
and hit the ground running
i wish that i could fall
instead of doing nothing
i wish that i could fall
right between your eyes
but you just stand so tall
im left out of sight
i wish that i could fall
but only truly backwards
right into your arms
your arms
your arms!
