On waiting

So much that I wanna do, when I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair
But I think you know
That I can't let go

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line
Honey I'm still free
Take a chance on me

- Abba, Take a chance on me

Alone

I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father
your son
your holy ghost and priest

I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn't tell if you were blessed or cursed

I couldn't save your soul
I couldn't even take you home
I couldn't fill that hole
Alone

- Depeche Mode, Alone

This isn't real

I've said goodbye so many times
It's as easy as breathing
And I've lost count of all the nights
I've listened to you leaving.

Missing

Your bedroom eyes

and your baby pout

I gotta let you go
no more sleepless nights

anything that may desert you
so it cannot hurt you

at who's underlined you

So cruel

between the horses of love and lust
we are trampled
underfoot

Waiting in the dark

I suffocate
I breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines
but desolate

And drab the hours
all spent on killing time again
all waiting for the rain

- The Cure, Prayers For Rain

 

I know that time is against us but

I don’t wanna have to go
go go go on without you
without you

- Honeyblood, Killer Bangs

Nothing feels like this

And when we kiss
we speak as one
with a single breath
this world is gone

Forgive me

Hey Jo sorry I hurt you
 but they say love is a virtue don't they?

Tell me how to reach you

On letting go of regrets

Think about the future
Let the past unwind

Just realising that a lot of Stephin's songs are for narcissists

I'm as lonely as Narcissus gazing in his mirrored pond.

On being weird

I'm much weirder than you will ever be, Margot.
It's fine to be weird.

On an ideal

oh my lover
don't you know
it's alright
you can love her
and you can love me
at the same time

On hope

When I wake
each morning
as the storm beats down
on me
and I know we belong together
only love
can set you free

But a bottle of gin
is not like love

On last year

And a long forgotten fairy tale
is in my eyes again
and I'm caught inside a dream world
where the colours are too intense
and nothing is making sense

- The Magnetic Fields, Long Forgotten Fairy Tale

Graffiti

This graffiti is fleeting human contact:
both of us lost, but for a moment
we're lost together.
I wonder who you are?
