I come home to her watching Good Will Hunting
Face up to the ceiling with the blinds drawn down
Sometimes it's best to just say nothing
But nothing upon nothing only seems to compound
Rob is telling Will, 'Don't put her on a pedestal'
She says to me 'You'll stay, until you leave one day, I know you will.'
I'm all flaws honey, honey don't you see I'm all flaws
He get's in, it's early in the evening
Sun slowly retreating and the blinds drawn down
Another day spent doing nothing
And nothing upon nothing only seems to compound
Seems to me she knows the lengths that I will go to hide
She says that it's ok to bide my time this way
And I replied
I'm all flaws honey, honey don't you know I'm all flaws
I'm all flaws honey, why is it you want me?
She's been chasing the perimeter
She's been told that imperfection's just a passing state of her
I've been having trouble admitting
That what I see in her she sees in me, we're forgetting
We're all flaws honey, honey don't you know we're all flaws
We're all flaws honey, why is it you want me, why is it you want me as yours?
We're all flaws honey, honey don't you see we're all flaws

We live on an island in the southern sea
In a valley with a beautiful view
We have all the water that we can drink
Don’t you
Oh lord
Grant me strength to shirk responsibility
Let me forget my complicity
Amen
We live on a mountain far above the sky
We have no air to breathe
We live in a desert of fallow fields
We have no mind to grieve
Oh lord
Grant me patience to wait out my fears until I’m gone
Bless me with ignorance of those who follow on
Amen
And at night, above the dark cities, we see stars
Amen

As I Am

If I was a fish
I'd live up in the sky
Make a home of cumulous
If I was a bird
I'd live under the ground
Make a home of igneous
I can only be as I am
If I am awake
I'll dream the whole day through
Make the real ambiguous
If I am asleep
I'll dream my dreams then too
Venture inner wilderness
But I can only be as I am
I can only be as I am

Open savannah
Forty all in chains
Paint the panorama of the plains
Foreman's got his orders
I've got mine
Paintbrush in my hands
And a pocket by my side
Paint me a flower, yellow and blue
Paint me a flower in bloom
Paint me a flower of every hue
Paint me a flower in bloom
I am bee, I am beetle
Weavil and wasp
Dragonfly, mosquito
Butterfly and moth
I am underneath your bootprint
And I'm knawing at your hand
Find me working by the roadside
Any part of this great land
Paint me a flower, yellow and blue
Paint me a flower in bloom
Paint me a flower of every hue
Paint me a flower in bloom

Never Believed in Love

Late at night, in the dark
When I can't hear your breathing
I hold my breath, until you start
Lest your heart stop beating
Is it fear that halts mine?
Is it it longing?
Only half remembered now a time
I never believed in love
I never believed in love
In the sky, out above
Beyond the veil of stars
That is where, it comes from love
When I'm in your arms
Is it hope that holds me?
Is it longing?
Growing from that boy I used to be
I never believed in love
I never believed in love
There's part of me that don't believe
You think of me the way you say you do
Conspiring with that part in you that feels the same
And that feeling it don't change
Only over time it fades
Now it's sleeping at the foot of our bed
Breathing now so softly I forget
I never believed in love
I never believed in love
