who knew while sitting on a windowsill shadow reaching out to green that people walking by could mean everything is serene

lock

it's all about the locks life that is it's about our locks whether you leave yourself open or turn the knob on companionship sometimes i can't help myself your large hands push the button all by themselves

lock

you stopped by just to say hi and then you left a quick Hello Goodbye I faked a smile a hearty laugh just to watch you walk right out my door i turned the lock and shook the knob as i dropped in heaving sobs

if life is but this frantic rush then let me jump off of this boat i don't need constant dreading worries i don't need silly social sorries but i need a group of friends and i need to understand don't wanna pretend i love you comprehend?

change

if I could only change it's been this way for who knows, hey it could be anything i could have been like you with your wild nights and your hot jock walk or i coulda been him totally talented and assured i could have been anything i could have been happily ignorant, but i'm not i'm not you or him or her over there i'm someone different i'll gladly live with it

dance

dance! into darkness into light with a disco rock the funk pop and lock plie and pointe just let it go dance to be free and do it without worry if salsa means life shake those hips tonight

if I cannot smile know only that I need to if I am kind to you know it is because I love you if I love you know it is because I know you and if I know you know that I see you you're faults and strengths and I accept you even if you won't speak a thing of yourself

i think it's done and then the shiver crawls down my back i can't escape my heart won't let me my mind is reeling i think i'm fading

you walked closer my arms they freeze then quickly I scramble scribble- I've gotta get the words onto paper before you see my heart races my hands tremble my nerves scattered you approach my side

I sigh, relief soft rays luminescent grace my face I'm okay
