MEGA CITY FOUR : wallflower

Wallflower

Take these words I give to you
take some comfort every word is true
We have so little time
I won't waste a moment telling lies
Wallflower high

I carried on when I should have stopped
I carried on when I should have given up
I swallowed hard
I swallowed every line

Wallflower high
stealing my light
clouding my sight
doubting my judgement
against everything I knew
I could not give up hope that
one day I'd get through to you
Wallflower high.

Yesterday I met your friend
I wanted to turn my back on him
but I sacrificed my feelings
forced myself to speak

I imagined you were in the room
watching my reactions
I imagined you just smiling to yourself
in satisfaction

And if I did not care
if I saw your face again
I'd have gladly turned my back
and walked away.

Inamorata

I was in the middle of a sentence
till something caught the corner of my eye
what I was saying seemed important
then it just completely slipped my mind

You walked into the room
you walked into the light
and all of a sudden
I saw you for the very first time
and I wondered how I never noticed as you passed me by

Everything I have must seem so precious
honestly I swear I'd give it all
my home ... ... ...
I stuttered and I faltered
I tripped and smashed into a wall

You walked into the room
you walked into the light
and all of a sudden
I saw you for the very first time
I looked at you before but
now I see you for the very first time
and if I stare just long enough
then your bound to look my way
you might notice that I'm looking at you
differently today

I was in the middle of a sentence.

Wilderness

No-one wants to be left behind

Everybody likes to think
they know exactly what it takes
they can tell a shooting star
from a shooting aeroplane

No-one wants to be left behind
in the wilderness
dogs may bring a lion to it's knees
But all things come to those who belive
the wilderness is full,
but the wanderers are blind
as blind as those who will not see
but no-one wants to be left behind
in the wilderness

Everyone is one step ahead of everyone

Everybody likes to think
they know exactly what it takes
and everybody likes to think
they know exactly what it takes

Dogs may bring a lion to it's knees
But all things come to those who belive
the wilderness is full,
but the wanderers are blind
as blind as those who will not see
But no-one wants to be left behind
no-one wants to be left behind
left behind.
