I'm the Romantic

Well I could go chasing perfume and lace
Find some other girl with a pretty face
Tell her all the things that she’d want to hear
Go through all the motions till they almost felt real
But a kiss would mean nothing
Unless they’re your lips
I could fake the actions,
But no passion could exist
Well I never had a problem keeping my feet on the ground
But my head is always spinning when you are around
So all those other girls must be doomed
‘cause you’re all I can see when you walk in the room
So a kiss would mean nothing
Unless they’re your lips
I could fake the actions,
But I couldn’t fake this…
…this feeling I get
…So give me one more kiss
A kiss would mean nothing
Unless they’re your lips
There would be no passion
Or this feeling of bliss
My lips would move
But my heart wouldn’t race
Unless those lips were
Were the ones on your face
(so no one’s taking your place)

Powdered Cement

When we met
You wanted to know
If for your garden
I had seeds to sow
So when the spring came
In they went
But nothing had bloomed
As the Summer’s sun set
What we got
I wanted it to grow
So I planted all my seeds
But now they’re set in stone
See there was no soil
It was all powdered cement
So all the water that I poured
It only made it set
So please tell me
I need to know
Did you ever want to see
This garden grow
So please tell me
Before you go
Was it always the plan
to pave a road
I watched the seasons change
While standing by your side
So tell me was it always the plan
Or had I changed your mind

He was a sales man with a plastic smile
As much a lover as a liar
She loved her day dreams more than her man
So she got her heart broken again and again
I said don’t idealize a moment in time
They’re never as good as they are in your mind
If it was love it would have shown
When forever, together you would have grown
But love means you never pretend
That you own what’s placed in your hands
And you gave your all, but that fool just couldn’t grasp
That an unfuled fire burns out fast
So when the smoke cleared you were covered in ash
But I saw a good woman even through all the mess
You were a skeptic when I kissed your lips
Said, “You’re only boarding a sinking ship.”
But that night your heart beat as strong as mine
You said, “It’s bound to fade in due time
Us romantics become cynics and fools
A tragedy I can’t repeat so soon.”
So I know I wasn’t in your plans
But I’m going to do all that I can
To not just be a man from your past
’cause we’re both damaged, but we’re built to last

This doesn’t have to be tragic
No more lovers made of plastic
No more hearts made of stone
I’m no former lover
So don’t you see me like the others
But if you can’t love me, just say so
’cause if you’re running
From something I’ve done
Well baby, I’ll let you go
But if you’re just leaving
So history’s not repeating
Well, you need to know
Our hearts are of the same fabric
We’re both damaged romantics
With no place to call home
So I hope again your kiss I’ll feel
Once your heart’s had time to heal
Then away we’ll go
(and our love can grow)
But I’m the fool I know
I’m the fool I know
The fire’s gone cold
So it’s time to go
You can’t love me and it shows
So the fool and cynic switch roles
And on it goes
And on and on it goes.
