the grass was greener she was a fairy tale queen the nights were wilder felt like a never-ending dream they lived in castles built high upon the hills and traded oranges for alcohol and pills it was like riding on a bike hanging from a kite yeah we did it right morphine in spain her eyes were diamonds she sparkled like a gem we dreamed of islands and partying with friends she bled of laughter was naked all the time and burned inside me like parellada wine it was like riding on a bike hanging from a kite yeah we did it right morphine in spain no not yet, no it's too soon baby i need just a little more time with you i don't know if i can fly my way back home... and any day i need to get away i just think of you and us...again she wore red panties every new years eve she lived off candy and chamomile tea i left one morning but cant erase the days of flying with you over malaga in may it was like riding on a bike hanging from a kite yeah we did it right morphine in spain

unlock your door my dear, nobody gets in here if you don’t let em, you won’t let em be glad of what you don’t know, get mad at life again and watch the dice roll, slowly to the floor but the walls are closing in and i’m panicking again, hang on baby please hang on to me no bright light within my sight and i died the last fight, if i loved myself i could love you too will you be forever, black and blue? no not forever, that ain't you gears spin within like lightning, each heard word eyes close just to hide em, safe inside em you tell me you wanna change things, yet you keep doing the same things that got us here, why would i wanna stay near? still you can’t see past your window and keep living inside the same hole you dug yesterday pills add temporary hope but the life is yours alone to create, rebuild, rediscover and maintain tell me it ain’t true? tell me this ain't you no not forever, black and blue walk from the unlocked shackles, tell me bout a couple more battles, and we can go from there, anywhere you like stop putting words in my mouth, stop telling me to slow down, we haven’t time to lose, everything to prove if you find a way to fight a little harder every time, when you collapse revive quickly, babe the clock is t-t-ticking the synapses will connect and the madness will lastly rest for as long as you decide you want it to will you be forever, black and blue? will you be forever, black and blue? no not forever, that ain't you...

A, E i never really knew what to say to you D, A, E i guess i wasn’t born to talk to angels D, A you saw things differently, sweet and glistening E, A you were always listening when we spoke A, E seems we couldn’t see, the true reality D, A, E the way your eyes viewed our world D, A you gave so selflessly, laughed so lovingly E, A you were fluttering over me every day barre D, A, E, A and(yeah) now i know, what i wish i did years ago you were an angel all along - (2x) A, E you told me things change, they shouldn’t stay the same D, A, E i couldn’t quite face it with my blind eyes D, A you stated everything, was at my beckoning E, A never questioning a word i'd write barre D, A, E, A and(yeah) now i know, what i wish i did years ago you were an angel all along - (2x) D-E can we just talk, one more time A-F#m can we just walk, one more line D-E can we just dance, so i can see you float A-F#m can we hold hands, before you have to go D, E, A oh i know, i just don’t believe its so...you're going home - (2x) A, E stirring in my sleep, i feel you next to me D, A, E i turn just for a touch and you’re gone D, A you gave your life away, loved me anyway E, A see you again someday is all i can say... barre D, A, E, A i hear, the bells ring, god's rounding up his broken wings i stop and start to sing, yes its true, heaven awaits you - (2x)

i was home waiting on a white train waiting for the angel that left me to return ohhh so slow these days go and never i feel anything real anymore you flew off with the warm wind you waived goodbye before i could say hello now i sit alone and wonder what my role is before my road ends keep a watch on me i'll keep a thought of you tell me what its like dancing in the sky i hope you're free in heaven, butterfly life never leaves enough time for people like you to stay and do what they’re supposed to and i never have enough life to give as much as i know i can do keep a watch on me i'll keep a thought of you tell me what its like dancing in the sky i hope you're free in heaven, butterfly i find myself thinking about you everyday these words write themselves faster than i can say if you would have stayed, we'd have never learned what it's like to see a butterfly...flutter earth days fade away to darkness and i swear i see you hiding in every dream words cant say how hard this life is when you're living it all alone keep a watch on me i'll keep a thought of you tell me what its like dancing in the sky i hope you’re free in heaven, butterfly

its a strange place when you can’t show your face cause your buddy up and left and you feel like you’re left with nothing, man you’ve got nothing. i promise you my friend if you just keep keepin’ on and let your little lady hen help you rise above this suffering, you’ll get back to living. i’ve checked back and forth on your back forty, made two collect calls to your condominium in kaanapali asked your gate guard if he’d seen you livin, asked your wine guy if he’d seen you trippin’ you’ve gone missing you’ve been away too long (2x) people come and go but the best go the soonest and the rest of us are left to figure out what do here without em, ah just miss em. and you never can replace what the good lord takes away with a similar face or somebody who ain’t that somebody, who you’re still loving. i asked the pastor for his best biblical perspective, mourn a month but don't let death infect ya somewhere above you from a far off distance, he’s watching over us til the end of our existence he sees you bleeding you’ve been away too long (2x) lost time, rewind...wait we cant do that? what comes goes fast, can i get another chance? lost mind, cant think, anything i wanna think eyes blink, head’s numb, can anybody help me up? unsure, whats next, whats next...let it rest i know its gonna hurt for a long long time im sure, but if anyone can make it out and better make the seconds count, its you and me, and Leslie (endlessly) i’ll be the reflection in your mirror to help you up and out of here but if you dont speak to my ear how can you ever expect me to hear you? hey i'm still here you... i called the northwest porsche club and still no burnout, beginning tank full we all too soon turn out i called your mother, wife, daughter, sisters and brothers, you feel the same pain as every other dont go undercover you’ve been away too long (2x)

my best friend lives in a second floor apartment on ninetieth street just a few miles from me and i can visit any time of the night she works on the west side of the city saving kitties in an animal farm says the wine wont do her harm and she drink it like the wells runnin dry "what's a few years?", she said, "when we waste so many all alone." "what's a few tears?", she said, "when we've been soaking up our own." "what's a few miles away, if we're far from where we started the day?" "what's a little love to lose, to win the right to be with you?" ...
