Give me, a venti iced coffee
on a summer day
A few clouds, that's okay
At least I know there's always
a promise for rain
(I know there will always be pain
until You've come...)
Give me, a book about life
and how the only thing we know
is that, we never know
How pain brings pleasure
Being last means we're first
and how I'm always the first to give an excuse
How we rationalize everything
until we're guilty of nothing
(that is an oxymoron)
and I'm the moron
who fell in love with an idiot
and how I'm the idiot for staying
But if I leave was I ever really loving
if I can just fall out of it?
Give me, honesty
So honestly, I probably
don't want to hear
what you're about to say
but please, say it anyway!
Agree to disagree,
but really, believe me
I'm leaving, so I can come back
You're leaving and, "I told you so"
and yes, you're right,
I'm not right,
but you still can't sleep at night
So tell me, you hate me
because you love me so much!
and I'll tell you about how
Everything you do drives me crazy
but baby, I miss it when you're gone
So kiss me and stay so long
because honestly,
we've both been so wrong
Give me, adrenaline
Feel of the wind
Lets jump off the dock
forget the clock
give me seconds of shock
in a cold shower
Let me ride off that rock
climb this tree
So I can see
off the mountain top
Just to go into valley's
I can't have a high without a low
I know it's fun to not know
what's below
Let's forget the past
even if tonight doesn't last
("it won't last..")
Shhh, don't tell me the ending,
I'm still experiencing the beginning
Life whispers death in our ears
with fears but
give me a moment of ecstasy
another reason to not say "no"
why would I do that
turns into, "I can't go..."
"Why not?" Actually,
don't ask questions until its over
It's obvious when we discover
what we all become with a loaded revolver
Give me, chocolate
dark and deep
strawberries dipped
almonds in thick
dried or dripped
melted and cooled
you know I can't say no
I save my "yes"
for chocolate,
I'd forget the rest
...wait, sex?
Give me, music
slow and steady
but only until the climax
"Go, okay, I'm ready!"
A progression like a hilltop
Let's dance until we get where we're going
I'm okay with not knowing
As long as you're by my side
So let's slide and glide
Dance with one hand free
but if I spin away
You've gotta pull me
right back to stay
Give me, back the promises
I gave you, And when you do,
tell me you'll always be true
You'll love me only
I know you've been lonely
Come back to me
You know I'll love you solely

only til morning comes
It's stealing nights from
keeping my eyelids shut tight
and I just can't stay asleep
when all I do
is keep thinking about you
and every mistake that might of been made
and Every moment I would never trade
Our smiles pressed against closed eyes
It all gets replayed...til I just can't sleep
But I just can't keep thinking about you
when your love Was true
when you're not here Now
to repeat that vow,
"I'll love you always"
but it's only til morning comes
and morning comes early for me
lately, because I just can't sleep
And daylight peaks
through lost days
Memories that won't fade
I keep moving and I go
but I just wanted you to know,
that I can't sleep, and Maybe
you're awake too
because our love's still true
"You see the night is all I have to make me feel,
And all I want is just a love to make it hurt.
Cause all I need is something fine to make me lose.
Now it's a funny way I find myself with you.
But now there's nothing left to do but waste my time.
I never knew where to move on.
I never knew what to rely upon.
And now there's nothing left to say to change your mind.
And if you're are unhappy still,
I will be hanging on your line should you return.
Should you return, should you return."
"If you feel restless where you are, it may be easier to stay.
There are a million other fools to make your bed.
And they'll be closing all the shades
To keep you right there in that grave.
And I'll be knocking cause you never left my head."
-Copeland

we came too soon
A last summer
of endless second chances
first touch and a last look
I will never forget what we took
what we looked like in the grass
in the summer night breeze
on our backs with an endless view of stars
Where only the moon saw all of our scares
but it shown so bright and it was just enough
to see all of you in the light, all of me loving you
(but we were too soon...)
With every attempt to go slow
it only took us faster
falling over stammering resistance
in persistence with laughter
We would meet only later finding defeat
because persistence only lasts
until you get what you want
and you said it but did you
ever really want, me?
I can still feel the rhythm within
and against my chest
as everything I was,
was caressed
there's no time and no one
(two, three, 4)
who could stop this, see?
but its only you who can make it last
Because summer races past
with thunderstorm afternoons
of winds so strong
Everything we were
gets caught in its mast
(You left too soon)
We remember just so we can forget
we were everything to each other
and now we just don't fit
So remove what's came
and don't worry about what will come
Yesterday, remember?
We were just summer kids having fun.
So laugh and cry
(oh cry so hard)
until you laugh some more
We've come so far
we have so much more in store
But this is a last summer
to recover our tracks
from roof top kisses
and places only we know
car rides round in an endless chance at love
to a farm where it all began, we go
But when it pours, remember
how we got there
Our tracks turn to mud
I will remember every glance, phone call
and every chance taken
just to fall in your arms
We saved each other in our youth
but now we're left in arms
Against you?
against me?
I could never really see
how our hands of love turn to riflery
So let's lay down
(I would have only laid down for you)
Because in the end, we all know
We'll have to lay down for someone
So soon you'll see
But you won't realize till
after you've forgotten me
Down to the moment you'll feel
the chill down your spine
As you surface the memory
of your body entwined in mine
When two become one
we became 1/2
because you didn't stay
Drenched in the heat of our love
So taken, that night, we were took
(We came too soon)
Here's that last look
a last first kiss
"I love you," without remiss
Here's your last look -
A look to you in a last summer
when everything was new.
Escaping from everything
we were told we "had" to be
finally free, to see each other free
"Come lay down for me."
"In a flash a heart is slain
you have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
Was your love in vain?
Was your kiss too weak?
Were your eyes too tired?
And much too young to be in love
Much too young to be in love"
-Copeland
"...The summer came and you left me with your words..."

lets get this right cause there are no second chances" -emery
