A Time

There was a time

When my heart sat low

Searching for feelings

I wouldn’t show.

There was a girl

How there always is

She drank my whiskey

Smoked my cigarettes.

There was a time

My eyes were young

Not battle-scarred

By things left undone.

And she was crazy

Just like I was

We danced a little

Oh, just because.

There was a time

I was present there

I’ve long since gone

To the end of her stare.

And whatever mask

Love wears tonight

There is no beginning

And no end in sight.

To Have and Hold and Feel Insecure

Sometimes you're hot
Other times you're cold
Sometimes I have what
I'll never ever hold

Sometimes I see you
Other times I'm just blind
Sometimes together
Others I'm three steps behind

But to have and to hold
Oh to feel, unafraid to show
It gets tough to feel so alone
Somewhere inside I'd rather not go

Sometimes you're lost
Other times you're home
Sometimes close by
Other times unknown

Sometimes you pay hard
Others you're just flat broke
Trying to run wide open
Pulling back on the choke

But to have and to hold
Oh to feel, unafraid to show
It gets tough to feel so alone
Somewhere inside I'd rather not go

Somewhere inside
In the places I hide
Somewhere inside
I'd rather not go...
