Time has passed We've said things I've done worse But I wanna be your friend Took out the sheets From our bed 'Cause I wanna be I wanna be your friend So you can be lightning And I, I'll be thunder You will be flying But I, I'll stay under I've forgotten faces Never could forget yours I wanna be I wanna be your friend I wanna laugh again I wanna hold your hand I wanna be I wanna be your friend Maybe I'm a liar Maybe I want more But I wanna be I wanna be your friend So you can be lightning And I, I'll be thunder You will be flying But I, I'll stay under I'll let you tell me about her I'll even marry another But I wanna be your friend So you can be lightning And I, I'll be thunder You will be flying But I, I'll stay under

Hey little girl What you looking for You keep running and banging on every door You throw yourself around hoping someone will catch you You fall without a sound You long for the meaning of blue I lost track a while ago probably that day, at the snow descending And you said you heard it sing I know about the weather in your head The clouds keep moving, grey Sometimes light, sharp as day Before the waves come to get you Before thewaves come to get you We still have songs to sing We still have songs to sing We still have songs to sing We still have songs to sing

So many cookies to try Before i find the perfect one Even when it comes With a stomach ache So many textures On your skin, your back, your hair, your hands I'll taste them all Even if I get sore So many people To meet, to love and to betray To kiss and to beat Before I fade away This is a prayer for the wandering spirit And don't be jealous if you ain't got it You can travel too And if you love me, I'll go with you It's not that I'm rushing It's just, time is passing through There's no need for blushing Got too many things to do This road can be a lonely one You gotta walk the walk I din't need this heavy load You're putting on my back It's not like I chose it There was no other way When you got the spirit You better kneel down and pray A prayer for the wandering spirit And don't be jealous if you ain't got it You can travel too And if you love me, I'll go with you

The Garden 03:58
There's a garden in my head Ever changing, always blooming Nothing dies under the sun Of my memory You've planted a seed And 'though I didn't tend to it It grows and grows and grows Gloriously Welcome to the garden of things that never happened Welcome to the garden of things that never happened Welcome to, welcome to The garden She might be the one With the flowers in her hair Leaving you breathless Leaving you holding on The day is hers to seize But as the sun goes down I know we belong under the shade of these trees Welcome to the garden of things that never happened Welcome to the garden of things that never happened Welcome to, welcome to The garden

Why is it I love the crack of the stone My fingers know how To find their place There's no getiing out of here Untouched and whole, but You know that i was Torn apart before So, don't be sorry You got nothing to give me I love you for what you take from me Don't be sorry You got nothing to give me I love you for what you take from me In my dreams we are Scattered by the winds Round the corners of the earth 'Til the pieces wither And i think they lied about happiness I think they lied about happiness And i think they lied about happiness I think they lied about happiness So don't be sorry You got nothing to give i love you for what you take from me I love you for, I love you for, i love you for what you take from me
