Many Men

Back to when we were inseparable
Hand in hand in the sand
It was magical
Back to when, we just couldn't get off the phone
"I don't wana say bye, I don't wana say bye"
Like it was time we owned
Back to the years we knew no fear
All was clear and the only tears shed
Were from laugh'n
Back to when, I used to take the train
Never cared you lived 6 hours away
Back to kiss'n in the dark
Lips to lips, hip to hip
In a parked car we would go so far
Back to saying, 'love you'
Every 5 minutes, just to
Back to the days when night was worth the wait
We'd pour out our hearts and fill up each other's arms
Sure we were, only children then
But my boyish love could put to shame
That of many men, many men

Okeechobee

Back and forth, on the porch
Pacing like a tiger
I count 1-2-3-4...
Cigarette butts on the floor
It's just this girl, ya know
It always is, lent her my heart
And she made off with it
I call 1-2-3 times...
On her machine I tried not to cry, "I know
You're staying up with him tonight
While I reach lows, less desirable than death..."
My eyes burn, my stomach hurts
I've collapsed into a dark corner
It takes one kiss to break a spell
Another to betray Heaven itself
She said, "I promise to, never leave you
...And I'll always tell the truth"
Well that's 1-2-3-4-5...
Times my hope has died
I know, you're keeping warm with him right now
While my heart grows cold, feeling wholly alone
But I suppose, that's nobody's fault but my own
I mean, I didn't have to fall so in love with you
I didn't have to, I didn't have to
....Back to that, train station romance
Lost in the steam we learn love's true meaning
Back to when our eyes were wide as the moon
Back to when everything was just me and you
I wana go back, go back, I need to go back,
I-I-I gotta go

From across the room
My eyes widen to devour you
Oh! Yeah I know it's too soon
To say, "honey I love you..."
But it's so true, it's so true
Maybe it sounds stupid
Aww baby, I can't help it
What's your name? Your sign?
Where the hell do you come from?
Oooh, that's cool, me too
Would you like to see my room?
My record collection,
She says she hearts it
That's how it started...
That's how all this started

Sure you've got to go.
So sure you won't need me
Down the road.
Down that road.

Fair Verona

She says, "I hate to burst your bubble...
but what can be built can crumble
and I rather not partake in such heartache
stirring of dust, this ain't fair Verona"
And so it goes with love
One charming melody and we're all cobras
But once the spell is broken well, few live to tell
Why yell for help when there's no one?
They crash landed on the mountain top
Just trying to find their own way up
See Fate's grand design in chalk outlines
Started with a glass of wine
Ended up spending the night
Better skip that ambulance, get the hearse
Another love life lost, face down in the dirt
To make it worse, it was in fact your own hand that
Sharpened the ax for the slaughter
...Think we sprung a leak in this gondola
...Think we snapped a string on that sweet viola
"Man I rather not partake of such heartache
...stuck in the mud here in fair Verona"
Yeah I know i'm looking pale and only talk to myself
Well thanks for your visit friend, but it's a private hell
If you really need to speak just leave it at the beep
