tonight you said to me
'i think i better go'
i said
'it's getting late'
you think i oughta know
better by now
i oughta know better by now
'wait up' you holler out
'ill walk ya to your car'
'all right' is my reply
'it's not really that far'
and i'm digging around
for my damn keys
thinking that i oughta know better now
and you say
'did i ever tell you bout
when i worked in the corn fields?
i drove my old pickup truck
till it came off its wheels
and i'd walk for miles and miles
you know all you could really see
were those dusty grey gold rows
i don't know why i am telling you all this
i just thought you might like to know'
and i said
'i don't suppose i ever heard that one before
but i would stay up all night just listening for more
and i love to hear your stories
wish back then i could have been
your girl next door
honestly i wish you could tell me right now baby
what the hell i'm still standing here for'
could you tell me
what's the point today in talking honestly
when you say just what you mean
and hurt everyone between
i don't see an easy compromise
if i can't tell it to ya the way i feel babe
and honestly i wish we were having this conversation
in a dusty corn field

i know you're running
away from me
i know you're searching
for someone else than me
but why don't you tell me
where do you wanna go?
i know you're looking
for a love that's true
but why don't you see it honey
why don't you see
that it's right in front of you?
you know i'd give it all
i'd give it all
give it all up to you
cuz I've got everything you want
if you'd open up your soul
i've got everything you need baby
if you'd only open up the door
i've got salt on my fingers
i've got blood on my lips
i've got tears in my eyes
cuz i've been fighting you for so long
just cuz i can't win
don't make me wrong
i've got both hands on the trigger
and i'm ready to pull
you better give me one good reason
why i shouldn't
why i shouldn't pull that trigger baby
and don't you try that sweet-talking
honey baby line with me
cuz i've got everything you want
if you'd open up your heart
say goodbye to yesterday baby
we could make a brand new start
and all the lies
and all the pain could go
crash into the sea
as long as i have got you here honey
as long as i've got you
right here with me

Closer Than Danger

i wore my pain like a tattoo
red and black and blue
were the colors that I knew
i used to wade in that cold water all alone
now all i feel is you here next to me
i used to hurt so bad for what i wanted
thought I couldn't have
never had a feeling quite so bad
then i looked into your eyes and tried
to look away
but those eyes they held me
they held me
closer than god
closer than the angels
close to the heart
closer than danger
it's all turned out
so different than i thought it'd ever be
never though you'd be right here
next to me
when the rain it pours
outside your door
all you gotta do is open up your window
call my name outloud
i'll come flying from the clouds
on the wings of a dove
let it rise up let it rise up
and bring you closer
closer than god
closer than the angels
close to the heart
closer than danger

song is calm, ambient, minimal and introspective, allowing the listener to drift in and out of a soothing light landscape of the mind. Be calm, stay curious and listen.” – Marmoset Music
