Bring it over here, I know it's still here
I know you're still here, and I want both, near
It's no way to be, to try, to leave
when there's nothing special going on, its just me
now I'm alone, now I'm afraid
Now that I'm in love, how should I behave?
when I've got one where I want one.
but it's not mine, yet
don't unlatch the gate, if you're coming late
I'll come let you in, and the night can begin
When you take it away, you always do
you always leave a trace, some kind of proof
[proof] that you were here instead of out there
where you belong
cos you're not right for me, you stay when you should really leave
you leave when I really need you to stay,
see, you're always getting things the wrong way
when I'm with you, you look sad
when I'm happy, you are mad
not because I'm happy but because you know it too
And you know what to do
Just go away and stay there
clear your plate and take care
don't be ashamed, it's okay
And I will be
Okay

You act like you're trapped but you've got options
You act like a mouse that won't leave it's cheese, but try some of these: options
You could do anything else.
Tell me:
What's stopping you from doing anything you wanna do?
You don't have kids or any pets and you've got nothing but time
I've been watching you do the same things every day
including when you come over to my place just to complain
Turn off the TV, you and I are leaving
We're gonna go on a little road trip, it's winter, you can call it a snow trip
You're gonna quit your job, it doesn't pay well
You're gonna sell your things, or give them away.
Tell me:
What's stopping you from doing everything you wanna do?
You don't have kids or any pets and you've got nothing but time
I've been watching you do the same things every day
including when you come over to my place to complain
You're healthy, you're young, you're educated and smart (those can be very different), you're creative, ..I thought.

Airplane Man

I'm catching the 5:30 departing from IND
I need to stop at SFO, but then I'm free
You call me your airplane man, walking through the terminal holding my hand
Gotta pick up the rental, cos I don't do public transportation
I'm bringing back gifts for everyone I love
If I forget someone, sorry
I've been swimming in a lot of pools and lakes, out in the sun
If you think I forgot about you, I understand that notion
I could send you a post card
But I am really busy..
I could meet you where you are,
but, it's not on the way..
I like to follow my itinerary
Mmm, I love when she's with me
Mmm, I love when we're swimming
We've been swimming in a lot of pools and lakes and in the ocean
If you think we forgot about you, I understand that notion
My wife and I jet off somewhere without a plan
If we didn't call you back for weeks, please understand.

Smaller Percentage

I'm really young,
33, and I'm not done
I'm always getting older,
In fact, next year I'll be older
I could be 50 and thrifty and trying,
or 90, enlightened, and dying
But I'm not there, I'm 33 and have most my hair
Every day you're alive, I'm told,
Is a smaller percentage of your life as a whole
If you're afraid to age I've got one thing I'd like to say:
Every day you're alive, I'm told,
Is a smaller percentage of your life as a whole
Every day you're alive is a smaller percentage of your life.
