Daring Daylight Escape
I've got my mind made up
I've got to love you or leave you fast
'Cause I've been thinking clear
Ans I don't know how long it'll last
Just like Uri Gellar, I'm bound to twist the facts around
I've got to get them straight before my baby up and leaves town
'Cause I can't walk on water
And if I chase you, I might drown
And I'm already up to my neck
If I may pose a question, it'll only take a second
'Cause I know that it's getting late
And depending on your answer I might have to pack
And make a daring daylight escape
Because it's either high time to make you mine
Or I swear it's time to get outta town
So please say "yes" quick, 'cause the sun's going down
London's nice but it's the last place you wanna go
But there's no crime and you can catch a Broadway show
'Cause it's just so far and it's bound to get a hold on you
And I've got front page headlines pulled right outta yesterday's news
You can read all about it
About boy meets a girl and then screws the whole thing up
Just like always
It's no crime to love you
And my heart's still doing time
It's acting on it's best behavior
Firequeen
before we felt so familiar
and before I could remember your last name
I remember now
how our bright spring green deepened
with the heat as the seasons changed
we were lush as the underside of august.
the streets looked like water.
they swelled and they shimmered
and they stretched like the sea.
and dressed in my best shining skin
and my squinty eyes,
I put the miles behind me.
it took us so long to get here.
you gotta write between lines.
you gotta read between the years.
and fleetingly we see ourselves pass
driving a good thing
