It's Not A Competition

she's so nice
way nicer than you
she makes me breakfast
and lets me stay in her apartment
i know it's not a competition
but i can't help but feel that way
when you say that you want me
but your actions don't speak the same
i miss you
not gonna lie about it
but the distance
makes the heart grow wiser
with time
i'm older than when i left the city
if we talk once a month
all you do is complain
blab about the people you're kissing
in my absence
it's fine, i'm doing the same thing
it's not a competition
but i'm sweating like a pretty pig
to see who can be less bothered
by the other person's sleeping habits
don't call me on the phone
leave me alone
it's not a competition
but then again maybe it is
i wanna think that i'm winning
but i cried when you told me that
you really really really like
him

i can still feel it
the way you affect me
more when i'm sleeping
and you're in my dreams
or when my head's spinning
from too much sangria
i wanted to call you
but know that i can't
i can still feel it
the way your love haunts me
more when i picture
my life in ten years
do you want to get married?
i'd make a good partner
when i'm in some white clothes
you're standing at the altar
flash forward to my new life
no arguments, no strife
flash forward to my new life
(i can still feel it, the way it affects me)
no arguments, no strife
(more when i'm sleeping and you're in my dreams)
flash forward to my new life
(or when my head's spinning from too much sangria)
no arguments, no strife
(i wanted to call you but know that i can't)

got some bruises from two weeks ago
haven't dissolved quite right
but out of sight, out of mind
a perfect reminder
of the day i left
it was bittersweet
we spoke of promises
that neither one of us can keep
i guess that's fine with me
cuz out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
made me swear i wouldn't think about
what crept beyond our best interest
but i'm no good at that and you know
you know
that someone off in germany
is thinking of you
is someone in new york thinking of me too?
probably not
cuz out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
out of sight, out of mind
i'm out of sight, off your mind
wonder what it feels like
to be out of sight, out of mind
you feel good and it's fine
but i'm losing my mind

i don't really wanna know who you're kissing
just kiss me quietly instead
when we're waking up in the morning
and you bring me coffee in bed
when tension is high
you're running out of sight
i kinda like it
is it all in my head liz?
i've been a little obsessed liz
you've got me picking out pseudonyms
just to say what's been on my mind
twenty questions and forty answers
if you press, i fold
you know i'd give you all of my daytimes
not just evenings
i adore you so
when tension is high
you're running out of sight
why do i like it?
is it all in my head liz?
i've been a little obsessed liz
you've got me picking out pseudonyms
just to say what's been on my mind
i don't know how to think for myself
something in the way you roll around
the feelings at hand
i don't understand
when you're saying nothing's wrong
i don't know how to be calm in your apartment
the heat's too thick, this bed's too quiet
after we're done
if you know it's not love
then break it to me soft
tell me in a while this will all be over
we'll look back on it and laugh

again
this couldn't happen again
this is that once-in-a-lifetime
this is the thrill divine
what's more
this never happened before
though i have prayed for a lifetime
that such as you would
suddenly be mine
mine to hold as you're holding me now
and yet never so near
mine to have when the now and the here disappears
what matters dear for when
this doesn't happen again
we'll have this moment forever
but never never again
we'll have this moment forever
but never never again

Orange Peel Lullaby

wake up
brush your teeth
go to work
let me sleep
went to bed when it's light outside
kiss my lips
get through the night
i'm not sure who i'm trying to be
but look real close
what do you see?
a pretty face that you'd like to know
if the research fails then we'll never know
peel the fruit where you body laid
morning light fills the empty space
when you're gone i can taste your care
still in my mouth
citrus love affair
