listening to your voice kept my heart alive
in the darkest moments when love betrayed trust
i don’t know how to explain how much you mean to me
and make it make sense, since we’ve never met
but have you ever read a book you belonged in?
have you ever heard a song your soul wrote to you?
was there ever a story, just words to your eyes
that became an epic monument in your mind?
listening to your voice takes me to a good place
a feeling that you understand something no one else could
and if that is just fantasy then please let me dream
for there is no reason to end something this good
when i read your words i feel like i belong there
when i heard you sing i feel like i should sing too
can we write a story, just words for our eyes
that becomes an epic monument in our minds?
would that be just kept in my imagination
or can you feel in these words some familiar sensation
maybe you see in me what i see in you
what stops us from knowing something real, something true
just tell me what you want me to do
if nothing else, i wish you knew
listening to your voice kept my heart alive
in the darkest moments when love betrayed trust
i don’t know how to explain how much you mean to me
and make it make sense, since we’ve never met
he asked,
” Is this real? Or has this been happening inside my head?
he said,
” Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry,
but why on earth should that mean it is not real?”
have you ever read a book you belonged in?
have you ever heard a song your soul wrote to you?
was there ever a story, just words to your eyes
that became an epic monument in your mind?
and i hope you see
you are that book
you are that song
you are that story
the epic monument
for me
how I would love to get up your skirt
and take you to where nothing can hurt
where rockets go off and sirens wail
and you feel like you could never fail
in that moment of bliss
when the four lips kiss
and the bodies entwine
how I wish you were mine
(I will make you mine)
will you let me in
will you let me in
will you let me in
portishead sings glory box
and love begins
how I would love to dive into your eyes
and find out where the whole truth lies
in that moment when nothing can hide
and you let love reach you deep inside
in that moment of high
when you could just die
and you find you live
with so much to give
(how I want to give)
will you let me give
will you let me give
will you let me give
portishead sings glory box
and love lives
two sides of love
if you looked at me i would let you in
and ask you to tell me where to begin
to show you i care and want to be your friend
that's the kind of love that has no end
if you kissed me i would not hide my surprise
i would ask you who lives behind your eyes
what does your heart want most in this life
and your dreams, can we wake them tonight
found your comment and came to see
who you might be
and what you might inspire in me
i wish you the world, whatever you want
and all you want to be
that's all for now, i'll take my leave
you know where to find me
if you came to my door i would let you in
with hope something beautiful could begin
take your comfort, trust your instincts now
and be yourself as only you know how
girl from texas
how you move me
your vibrations
pass right through me
and they take me
somewhere higher
there’s no telling
what
you could inspire
girl from texas
can i touch you
i’ll be gentle
i’ll be kind
i’ll be loving
as you guide me
through your body
in
to your mind
girl from texas
i embrace you
i adore you
loveliness
from this distance
i will love you
as you wish
and
as you are
girl from texas
you excite me
see me tremble
in your view
above all else
i’ll respect you
what you say is
what
i will do
girl from texas
know that this is
real and true
girl from texas
may you kiss this
let it through
girl from texas
please don’t miss this
feel it too
girl from texas
what your bliss is
i will do
girl from texas
i confess this
i love you
you say you want me to call
but you don't like talking on the phone
you like your talking face to face i wonder,
how long have you been on your own
you hand me your number as i leave
and encourage me to care for myself
now what am i supposed to make of that oh,
what's that book up on your shelf?
is it pride and prejudice
or is it war and peace
maybe tale of two cities
or the golden fleece
is it something unique
someone i never heard of
oh...
or are you writing something new
and does it take two
for the love or words
or are we gonna fall in love
you say you want me to call
well haven’t been asked for so long
i like the smile on your face i wonder,
what would you do with your own song
you reach out to hug me as i leave
i think i’m not sure i remember how
i was feeling you pressed up against me oh
what's that book your reading now?
is it the road less traveled
or is it custer’s last stand
quixote de la mancha
alice in wonderland
is it something brand new
will it fit us like a glove
oh...
should i act like i have no clue
or move like i do
for the love or words
does the answer come from above
what book do you read when you are most alone
what book can take you home
what book do you read when you’re most afraid
have you ever felt saved
by words or music or anything
what book lives inside your heart
i want to know your story
so where shall we start
you say you want me to call
but you don't like talking on the phone
you like your talking face to face i wonder,
how long have you been alone
you give me a smile as i leave
makes me want to take a good look at myself
now what am i supposed to make of that oh,
what's that book up on your shelf?
she has this way of smiling
that asks you to want her
she's got this way of standing
that asks you to hold her
she's got this way of sitting
that asks you to come closer
she's got this way of moving
that makes you hungry for her
and you want to know more
and you want to see more
you want to lift her veil and her skirt
unabashed and embarassed
you're caught with your pants down
but wanting her just makes you hurt
you've got to do something
she's upset your peace
you've got to do something
to find some release
your passion is bursting
at the seems
desire has you humble
she fills all your dreams
just something about her
no words can explain
but if you don't have her
you will go insane
your hunger for her
is eating your brain
each moment without her
is more and more pain
it's becoming an obsession
in just a little while
you have become addicted
to her smile
she has this way of smiling
that asks you to want her
she's got this way of standing
that asks you to hold her
she's got this way of sitting
that asks you to come closer
she's got this way of moving
that makes you hungry for her
and all you want to do now
is tell her you adore her
and all you want to do now
is anything for her
you better tell her soon fool
you can't ignore her
stalling and shuffling
will only bore her
you'll lose if you don't try
so knock on her door
and tell her you love her
that's what you're made for
she has a dog named mikey and said
mikey loves people
or was it
mikey loves everybody
mikey is special
so mikey rolled over and got a belly rub
and she didn't linger
but i
didn't get the finger
so maybe she'll talk to me again
who knows
we might see each other at the mailboxes
she lives in the building next door
i think
somewhere on the first floor
i think
and i would have liked to see her some more
i think
but i was playing with mikey
so i don't know what she looks like
except from behind
and she had a nice behind
i think
she had a dog named mikey and said
mikey loves people
or as it
mikey loves everybody
mikey is special
they were standing at the mailboxes
and i drove right by her
but i
spun a little tire
backed up, turned around, check the mail
who knows
she might be the woman of my dreams
she waited until i got there
i think
and let mikey show i can care
i think
and i would have liked to see her more clearly
i think
but i was playing with mikey
so i don't know what she looks like
except from afar
when i past her in my car
i think
she had a dog named mikey and said
mikey loves people
or as it
mikey loves everybody
and all i wanted to be was
special
everybody has somebody special
all i want to be is
special
like mikey
