Excuses Maybe

Excuses Maybe
1. Excuses Maybe


Excuses Maybe
(verse 1)
when I made up my mind finally (when I made up my mind finally)
I pedaled my bike quickly (I pedaled my bike quickly)
I couldn't get to you fast or brisk enough
I was nervous and out of breath
in a humid, mid-summer July

I'm sorry I'm indecisive
you confessed and my decision
was to leave you hanging
until I decided I couldn't go on living
I know we're more than just friends
but love isn't the end
right now, I'm coming to see you, you're leaving
you're out of view, waving

(chorus)
maybe, maybe
it's not outside the realm of possibility
the bright blue sky above
the white clouds and the wind in my hair as I rush
maybe, maybe
it could be just like a romance movie
today our love could be born
if I can quit silly games before you're gone
it's just excuses maybe
(end chorus)

(verse 2)
when I got to your green yard (when I got to your green yard)
knocking on your door was hard (knocking on your door was hard)
this familiar place was scary, it was easier when it was casual you and plain me
where do we go from here? (where do we go from here?)
the words are stuck and disappear (the words are stuck and disappear)
you look surprised to see me, I tell you it's love and I guarantee

I've never seen a man
jump for such joy
your heart was in your chest
now it's in your mouth
I'm your girl and you're my boy

(chorus)
maybe, maybe
if I could just gain the courage and clarity
probably, we wouldn't be so nervous
and could be nothing but honest
maybe, maybe
if we could be more grown up
maturity and true love wouldn't get stuck
it'd be more like a romantic comedy
but it's excuses maybe
(end chorus)

(bridge)
what took you so long to say you liked me?
you know I'm not good at these types of things
what took me so long to say you're where I want to be?
my charm point is that I'm so naive
I like you
I like you, I like you
no matter what you do
I'll always really, really like you

(chorus)
maybe, maybe
if I could just gain the courage and clarity
probably, we wouldn't be so nervous
and could be nothing but honest
maybe, maybe
if we could be more grown up
maturity and true love wouldn't get stuck
it'd be more like a romantic comedy
but it's excuses maybe
(end chorus)

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) ...
