Simple/On Your Own Time

1. Simple
2. On Your Own Time

Simple
maybe things are too basic
for you but just right
for my taste I'm fine here
if you have to leave, leave

maybe things are too plain
for your taste but for mine
life is just fine Simple
I like regular average everyday
It is the way I want to live
for the rest of my days Simple

for your taste you will have 
to travel far I do not 
have it here things
are not too extravagant

if things are too plain
you can just leave
I'm not changing a thing
things are finally going the
way I want them too
and nothing can stop them from being Simple

I like things as Simple as they are
things are just basic enough
for me plain jane
Simple and clean is
the way to be for me

                                                                     On Your Own Time
I'm on my time now
I don't have to follow
anyone else's rules
my own clock
my own watch
don't tell me otherwise

For now I'm just me
On Your Own Time
do what you have to do
but for right now
I'm doing what I want to do
and that is being me
and I hope it last forever and always

my part of the clock
your part of the clock
two very different times
our times zones
are etched on the grandfather clock
don't come on my time

For now I'm being me
On Your Own Time
you be you
that's all I can ask of you
and nothing else
as far as I'm concerned
we practically never see each other

with my hands
I won't turn back time
to where we decided to do this
with your hands
you can try
try try all you want you can't do it

For me I just want to do what I want to
On Your Own Time
do what you got to do
when you got to do it
are you getting tired yet
you'll never be able to change
a thing On Your Own Time

Unrequited Finally

Unrequited Finally 1. Unrequited Finally Unrequited Finally (verse 1) you and I together made a solemn unspoken oath a secret never told is the very one best kept I shy away when our eyes suddenly meet like I've got a secret identity that I've just got to keep I long to get out of here and feel the spring air at night I can dream only of your long hair we snuck off when no one was looking now you act like you don't know me what is all of this? (chorus) I like that, but why do I like that? my first fantasy and my last taste of love my feelings awakened and fell from above my heart burst from happiness like an attack I like that, but why do I like that? you moved on, but I'm still stuck just chop it up to being romantically sick this is what's called unrequited love finally (end chorus) (verse 2) the lips you kissed are forever sealed shut but they pinned me against the tiled bathroom wall your friends raised eyebrows and asked questions you said not to worry because ...

Mystery Butterfly

Mystery Butterfly 1. Mystery Butterfly Mystery Butterfly (verse 1) open your shiny eyes in the silent night I swooped down into the mystery sneaking in alleyways without any sound of footsteps crouching my back in seductive black cat pose the moonlight carries a shadow on its back of my silhouette "come here" it smiles as it beckons to me it's tempting a contour of desire squirms in the sleepless city it wanders in the guise of a guardian angel to me it holds piece of love without a place to go in its arm as if they're precious treasures as you fall to sleep blissfully are you somewhere having a good dream ignorantly being happy as anyone would want the starry sky kisses you it's time for good children to go to bed to sleep (chorus) don't look at me, don't catch me don't try to be what's become of me I'm a butterfly who got lost in the dark freely singing with monochrome wings no one can see I'm hiding away in your heavy heart (end chorus) ...
