this is a lesson in charades
a simple yet easy game we both play
don't let the tear drops run down your face
lets break the molds of faith and leave this place
so take the last chance and feed it to those
who stand on the side way off in the dark
you could be my new mona lisa
now lets just hide that smile

damn its been a while and i'm a little rusty
but if i promise tomorrow? because i can't today
and your screaming out your pain , but hold your pride
because i can only do what i can if i hold up my end of the bargin?
i hope that everything will be alright

how did i end up here? standing here on this pier
with this bottle in my hand looking out towards the pacific
as the salt breeze fills my lungs and the salt gets into my eyes
tears fall down. as it begins to snow . walking now
down the streets of london where are you ?
i need someone to take my hand and walk with me
as i look into the shops before they close. and i'm afraid
i'm really afraid and for the first time
you can blame it all on me... i spoke and thought before i acted
don't bite your lip to keep back your smile
make sure you don't lie because you are the worst at it
and one moment at a time give me a crime

moving on with out you. its something i never thought i would have to do
but please when i write i'll make sure to write a page
all about the places and faces . so take it for what it is
because all i can do is tell you about. the night in chicago when i walked
alone . down State street to my first place
and the first night i stayed in my apartment as it overlooked. wait
it watched over me that night
well since were so old how come we can't erase the past?
i thought you could do what you wanted
but its more than that
because everytime we cross paths its as if
were strangers and you barley recognize and i can't walk by with out
the subtle pause but i continue . i continue on
i wish i stopped turned around and talked to you
there is no rest when your in a race with your heart
