wine glass charades

[voice one]
and the wine glass charades are over
now sleep's befallen all of our close friends
it's only just us two and the moonlight
(this will be the song we play until the end)

'cause we're coming to a finish much too early
we've only just begun to break the surface in
so let's start an exploration of each other
(this will be the song we play until the end)

and its bad news for being so forgiving
but its worse to think you're not of clearer mind
'cause it's only just the two of us and the moonlight
(this will be the song we play until the end)

[Voice 2]
I've a feeling that glass is much too empty
but we've drunk the bottle dry and much too thin
it's clear the candles leave more to imagination
(this will be the song we play until the end)

Why don't we learn how our bodies work in tandem
tangled clumsily, embrace to which we bend
silently we pretend as if we're acting
(this will be the song we play until the end)

and it's bad news to love you without knowing
but it's worse to think you're just as ill-informed
'cause it's only just the two of us and the moonlight
(this will be the song we play until the end)

and it's bad news to see another side of you
but it's worse; it's always been before my eyes
I don't want to be alone under the moonlight
(this will be the song we play until the end)

this attraction gives me certain inclinations
and we're coming to the close of all we knew
if that's the case no one else is better-suited
(this will be the song we play until the end)

there's a hurting in your heart, ever-constant,
rest-assured, I won't contribute more to it
as we realize we've come upon a sunrise
this just as much beginning as an end

Done to You

Old floral patterns
become deeper hearts
until they break apart

His favorite things
left on a night stand
he could hardly stand it all

I was a break before the rest of your life
One last adventure before it all ends
I wasn't faking, emotions were true
but years down the line, I'll wonder, what have I done to you?

She sleeps alone
but she doesn't know
I'm already gone

Reaching out for empty air
left an impression
on her bed and her heart

I was a break before the rest of your life
One last mistake, giving more than you take
I wasn't faking, emotions were true
but years down the line, I'll wonder, what have I done to you

We were all so young
time is never done
I am that to you
but you'll be loved soon

becoming
forgetting
forgiving
What have I done to you
Destroying
Denying
our worries
What have I done to you

Eight Seconds

I once had to wait eight seconds
for the poison ingested to register its effects
now its instantaneous, you see
but I go overboard like so many times before
Oh, I never keep the score

I once had to wait eight seconds
for the insult to sink beneath the layers of skin
now its all so facetious to me
but they go overboard, oh but can't you see the scar
Oh, you've gone to fucking far

I once had to wait eight seconds
till my nerves communicated to my brain and then back
there's a pain in my heart that won't leave
but I know there's a cure; there's no truth beneath a lie
Aye, you're running out of time

I once had to wait eight seconds
for the friendship to go south, almost as fast as our love
never thought this could happen to me
but I'm eating my words, now I'm looking for the signs
Aye,

I once had to wait eight seconds
for the rip-cord to respond, unnecessary delay
like a parachute, I'm open wide
but I can't see her now, no, we're both so very far
Oh, won't ever see the scars

Just tonight

No one I know of your persuasion
truth comes out with inebriation
Old confessions will always leave a stain

sun is setting, we're falling with it
heads together, the taste of your kiss
he won't have to know about tonight

Just tonight
It's better that I say
Just tonight
It's better off this way

When I see you, certain elation
from life, you're my...my derivation
it's not easy, this is true and plain

But there's nothing that I can do now
you have something, but I don't know how
it's just me and the routine tonight

(bridge)
Maybe someday, I can find a way to be decent
last I heard I surrendered to my fate
I will light the candle at both ends then spoil
But you could blow it out if only you could leave him behind

Just tonight
It's better that I say
Just tonight
It's better off this way

Just once
I'd like a second chance
Just once
I want someone to dance with me

But it's just tonight
It's better, so I say
Just tonight
It's better off this way
