all

i wold tell you all my secrets if you cared to listen intensely enough to stay awake because you felt you could not stop listening for the sheer fascination of wanting to know me that much...

we don't have to fall in love, we just have to care enough...

sincerity

if I fell in love with you
would you want me to
come closer
or mover farther away

if I fell in love with you
oh what would you do
come closer
or move farther away

intensity
can be an enemy
it’s much easier to be
superficial friends

but honesty
has more appeal for me
and yet sincerity
leads to such sudden ends

so if I simply smile at you
would you want me to
come closer
or move further away

if I simply smile at you
oh what would you do
come closer
or move farther away

humanity
can be an enemy
it’s much easier to be
oblivious to love

oh can you see
that insecurity
makes love the enemy
and so they look above

when the real world gets too scary
do you pray
or do you find a way
to stay?

reality
can be an enemy
it’s much easier to be
lost in fantasy

but honesty
has more appeal for me
and so sincerity
is my way to be
sincerity
sets me free

so if I shared myself with you
whatever you choose to do
come closer
or move farther away

I will still smile at you
and wish you well
and are free to come or go
and if you want to know
when my true feeling show
I would rather
you’d stay

compromise

compromise
love is compromise
compromise
love is compromise
right before your eyes
it takes off your disguise
love is compromise
oh oh, compromise

it would be nice to hold someone tonight
to feel the softness of a lover's touch
to rest against a supple breast, alright
sometimes i miss a hug so much
but complications and controls
the human mind has other goals
confused hearts judge and condemn
other bodies and souls
is that the way the cookie rolls?

i don't want to buy or sell you
don't want you to own me
promises can come later
with the illusion of eternity

what i am trying to say is
tomorrow is light years away
and i don't want to waste any energy
on what might or might never be
or words we do not want to say
today

so please don't tell me lies
and dreams can keep for when we sleep
speak to me with your hands and thighs
let this moment make love so deep
that there is no other time
no alibis
just compromise

compromise
love is compromise
compromise
love is compromise
right before your eyes
it takes off your disguise
love is compromise
oh oh oh, compromise

if tomorrow you're still here
maybe we will grow to care
and reach for more things to share
be together everywhere
but each moment matters more
and the one that came before
and the one that's yet to be
that's tomorrow's fantasy

right now i feel you next to me
and inside you can feel me rise
touch the moment's reality
dive into each others eyes
form the bond between our lips
bring heaven down from the skies
unison dance in our hips
this is love without the lies
no other place no other time
no alibis
just compromise

compromise
love is compromise
compromise
love is compromise
right before your eyes
it takes off your disguise
love is compromise
oh oh oh oh, compromise

i am me and you are you
whatever else might be true
we can agree with our eyes
leave behind all the old lies
here is space, now is time
no alibis
just compromise

there is ice and there is fire
whatever else we may desire
we can agree with our thighs
leave behind all the old lies
here is space, now is time
no alibis
just compromise

compromise
love is compromise
compromise
love is compromise
right before your eyes
it takes off your disguise
love is compromise
oh oh oh oh, compromise
oh oh oh oh, compromise
oh oh oh oh, compromise

in the moment

living in the moment always brings me ecstasy
trusting every moment is the ideal way for me
loving every moment can maintain my sanity
and when the vanity comes laugh at it and set it free

cuz the moment is all you can ever really see
if you want your fantasy to become reality
live in the moment unconditionally
cuz living in the moment is the best way to be



fuck the brains out of the one who turns you on
it doesn't really matter if tomorrow she is gone
cuz you will have another fantasy to yearn for by then
and if you find she's still around well do it again

and love every moment with all you can give
that is the best way to be and to live
don't let fear fool you into wasting time
love every moment and make your life rhyme

believe this is true today
because it is true everyday
believe this one thing i say
believe the right one will stay
in that moment that will never fade away

so love every moment you can if you will
the choice has always been yours, don't fear the thrill
living in the moment is the way to ecstasy
trusting every moment is the ideal way for me

loving every moment can maintain my sanity
and when the vanity comes laugh at it and set it free
cuz the moment is all you can ever really see
if you want your fantasy to become reality

live in the moment unconditionally
cuz living in the moment is the best way to be
love in the moment unconditionally
cuz loving in the moment is the best way to be

la la la

forgiveness

so how the hell are you and what do you want
to come out and play as if you can still flaunt
the words that seduce me as only you can
as long as i don't show how easy i am

but you can pretend i am hard to get
you can look past my slutty girl with no regret
and my pathetic child is easy to forget
beggars for love have no real home yet

out on the street corner with those wide-eyes
like a stray dog much more lucky than wise
follow you home for as long as you say
and after he's gone he never goes away

but like that hotel in california
the junkies and love children wouldn't warn ya
'bout the endlessness of endless love maybe lust
and the power of passion is what we should trust

but we all choose to be just what we settle for
even if there are demons knocking on the door
we can keep them at bay with a cowardly roar
cuz it's all just illusion to see or ignore

so you want me to love you again here we are
cuz running the same circle never gets us far
and the love never changes even when we do
ignore it, accept it, it's still up to you

maybe now you might know this, maybe now you will cry
for the child you set up and left behind to die
gasp, but you won't back up if you really know what's true
that child is not me she has always been you

all the words ever written on the high or low shelf
are worth less than nothing until...
you forgive yourself

. . .

so how the hell are you and what do you want?
to come out to play as if you can still flaunt
the words that seduce me as only you can
well be who you are that's a part of the plan

(thank you dan)
