axiom to zeal : music : a breath away

"Suckers lose themselves in the games they learn to play,
Children love to sing but then their voices slowly fade away.
People always take a step away from what is true,
That's why I like you around,
I want you."
Stephan Jenkins
I Want You, Third Eye Blind (1997)

a breath away

Lover's Almanac

machine gun etiquette
cubicals and farms
the difference
the ballad of U. and A.
keep going...
what love
green and red
parachute
adult themes
for every sprinkle I find
and god mumbled
getting chilly
arise
the hearts directions

a little motivation

still in my song

I am reaching out my hand.
You are staying right where you stand.
I know you have every right to say,
it's over- give up- go away.
You don't see the love we could make.
Must be dreaming, though I'm awake.

CHORUS
I should have known
you'd be in the back of things.
Keeping track of things,
while I was away.
Now you're more than
a simple breath away
I need you more than
a simple breath away.

Should I stop by? That's outrageous.
I feel stupid and contagious.
So I sit by only the phone,
and watch diner burn all alone.
You don't see the love we could make.
Must be dreaming, though I'm awake.

CHORUS
(extended)
