A Pain in My Chest
- Andrew Williams
Sitting there again
By myself again
Here you are again
Again I'm not
Cause I'm just the guy
Over there
Who you pretend not to know.
But then I sit
And I stare
Longing to just hold you close.
How long will these games last?
I ask myself.
How long will these games last?
I ask myself.
Wandering these streets again
Outside your house again
In the cold again
Again alone
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
but my heart aches.
The longer you're away,
the more it decays.
It hurts.
Hurts with longing.
Hurts with loving.
Hurts without you.
Falling Through Small Spaces
- Andrew Williams
i slipped through a crack in the pavement
when no one was watching
i couldn't believe it
i slipped through the noise of the crowd
under the ground, without a sound
i walked to the edge of all reason
and questioned my mind there
but why should i question?
with nothing left to see, i kept going
beating my drum to the sound of your heart
why can't i just stay in bed for a while?
why can't i just lay close to you?
why can't i just stay in bed for a while?
i'm hoping that today, i'll be with you
i slipped through a crack in the sidewalk
but no one was watching
they couldn't care
i hid where no one could find me
in the basement, under the stairs
i hid my face in a brown bag
because of the pointing
because of the laughs
i finished the race before i started
it wasn't over, but i was in last
i'll see you with my eyes, in my head, on my neck, on my shoulders,
with my arms outstretched, around, and over you
i'm not over you, i won't be over you
but there will be someday soon, when i say...
I Found My Roses in the Trash
- Andrew Williams
The last time I saw you, I wanted to die.
I wanted to hate you; I wanted to cry.
I don't remember what made me so mad that night.
Yes I do, I saw you with another guy.
His name was brad, the pizza guy.
And I'm so mad, because it wasn't me sitting next to you.
I don't care what you say you do
I still saw you without me
I don't care what you say you do
I still saw you without me
My knuckles are bloody, but not from a game.
I beat brad to a pulp, and now I'm insane,
Insane with jealousy, rage, and pain
Because I wasn't the guy you were with today.
MisUnderStanding
- Andrew Williams
I went to our favorite place,
But you weren't there again.
I just want to see your face,
So why are you staying away from me?
I didn't want to hurt you again,
But I couldn't say goodbye to you.
I didn't want to lose you again,
So I tried to make it right with you.
I miss you,
Under that bridge/tree,
Standing in the rain/and everything you say.
I miss you,
Under my arms,
Standing through the pain.
It's just a misunderstanding.
I wrote a song for you.
Please hear me out this time.
This isn't another excuse,
I know the problem's mine.
I didn't want to hurt you again,
But I couldn't let you out of my sight.
I didn't want to lose you again,
So I'm trying to fix the problem tonight.
Party Goers and Broken Dreams
- Andrew Williams
this keychain reminds of your smile
and when i look i can't see anything for miles
so i wish i could just sit and look into your eyes
so i know i'm not the only one who tries
to feel loved
i feel alone in this crowd
these happy smiles are bringing me down
i sit apart with nothing to do
i am so empty without you
i miss your eyes, and the way you look at me
i miss your smile, and the way you make me feel free
i miss your heart, and the way you said it belonged to me
i miss you.
The Infinite Possibilities of the Space Between Good and Bye
- Andrew Williams
so i lie in bed, and i dream of you next to me
holding you in my arms, and still i can't think
'cause you're in my head, and you're lying here next to me
screaming it in my ears, but i swear i love you more.
don't stay away, 'cause i need you back here now.
don't go away, i just want you today.
don't stay away, 'cause i need you in my arms.
don't go away, i just can't take the pain.
Three Words are All I Need
- Andrew Williams
She's too young to date
Just let her go
Worrying will just cause problems
Problems will scare her away
You can't think straight
Don't let it show
Don't get mad at her now
She's wonderful but you're so mad
She looks so great
Just let her know
Don't just stare blankly
Just say something witty
She's worth the wait
Don't let her go
Just let her know
You need her so
Don't go
You Say (I Had to Hear it From Your Friend)
- Andrew Williams
This wall that seperates us is tall,
but not impossible to climb.
These hands I bury my face in
are waiting to hold yours.
This heart beating in my chest
is yours to have.
You say you're lost,
So lets be lost together.
You say you're scared,
So I will always protect you.
You say you want this,
So go on, just take it.
These eyes in my head
long for your face to gaze upon.
These lips pressed on a bottle
need yours to press against.
These arms, outstretched,
wait to hold you tight.
You say you don't want to be hurt,
But this hurts without you.
You say you are ready,
But I'm still alone.
You say "I'm sorry",
And so am I... for ever falling in love with you.
A Silent Film About You and Me
- Andrew Williams
This spider dangles
From a thread that glistens
Quite like your cheeks after a movie.
This light shines
Not as bright as your teeth
When I made you smile.
These papers flap in the breeze
Just like your hair did
On that hill.
It's funny how
Yet saddenning
Everything reminds me of you.
How am I to
Make it through my days
Alone?
This clock starts and stops
Like my heart does
When I see you.
My sheets wrap around me
Tightly
Like your arms used to.
Every wind carries
Whispers of your voice
To my ears.
Number 12 with a Kiss
- Andrew Williams
My neck is burning for another one of your strangles
and your eyes are misleading
your hands distract me from what is going on inside
but your touch, it is fleeting
caring, and seeing, and being, can't stop me
i'm going, don't slow me, i need this, i need this.
I want to hold you, so tightly, and tell you i love you
you're special, the best girl, in the whole world, in the whole world
this kiss, it tastes of guilt, and the taste is bitter
but your voice is reassurring
your arms, they pull away, though i stand here waiting
so how long will you want me
I need you, can't see you, but i'll get through without you
can't stop me, i'm coming, i'll find you, i need you
I want to hold you, so tightly, and tell you i love you
you're special, the best girl, in the whole world, in the whole world
Questions Better Left for Heaven
- Andrew Williams
I don't know.
What am I doing here?
I can't see.
Where am I going here?
I'm so confused.
What is my purpose here?
I can't go on.
Will you save me?
I'm drowning in sin, and I cannot get free.
take me away.
This world that I'm in, I feel its not for me.
I'd rather not stay.
Now I'm here.
What do you want from me?
Now I see.
What can you show to me?
I can hear.
What are you telling me?
I am yours.
What do you want from me? (Will you save me?)
The Life and Death of a Single Tear
- Andrew Williams
A silent tear swells in my eye
and i cannot deny
you are not here with me tonight
and now i find
the tear is silent down my cheek
and now i dream
of finding you here next to me
that's what i need
my tears are silent, but my heart screams for you
my hands are shaking, but my mind cries out too
though silents tears pour down my face, without you
my heart is screaming that a place is saved for you
the tear silently stops to pause
and now i'm lost
without you i have no cause
no feelings no thoughts
the tear, it leaps into the air
still silently aware
that you are still not there
to catch me
the tear is splashes on the ground
without a sound
my heart's still screaming out aloud,
"come catch me."
Two-Dimensional
- Andrew Williams
I remember this picture, i remember the day it was taken
i remember your eyes, and your smile, and the way you said
you would always hold my hand
but you're just a picture in a wallet, a fading memory
i need you back here now, i need you back here now
but you're just a picture in a wallet, a fading memory
i need you back here now, i need you back here, want you back here now
do you remember the first time i said "hello?"
do you remember the first time i held your hand?
do you remember the first time i said i loved you?
do you remember? i should remember.
i want some sweet loving and affection
i need your smiles you said you'd show to me
i need your eyes, to look into perfection
i need your voice to remind me i'm not dreaming
Waking in a Cold Sweat, Alone
- Andrew Williams
this world, it scares me sometimes
but your eyes, they hold mysteries inside of them
and i, i wish i could fly away
to you, to you
so i'll run to my bed, and i'll hide under the covers
won't you come hide with me?
so i'll run to my room, and i'll hide undiscovered
please discover me
these walls, they close in on me
but your arms i don't mind
and i, i wish i could run away
to you, i'll find you
so i'll run to my bed, and i'll hide under the covers
won't you be waiting there for me?
so i'll run to my room, and i'll hide that i love her
until she discovers it too
Helpless (On the Frontlines of Love)
- Andrew Williams
Palms perspire
Wipe them on my jeans.
The butterflies in my stomach won't stop.
I'm just watching
Her from my seat.
I wonder if she'll look my way.
Wait, don't wait
the battle is fighting in my mind.
Should I stay or go?
Stop, don't stop
the battle is fighting in my mind.
Don't just stare at your toes.
Turns her head
I watch in slow motion.
Heart beats faster when I see her face.
She is walking
In my direction.
I'm panicking but I act calm.
You should smile back...
Smile back...
Smile back...
Smile back...
Don't Try, Triumph
- Andrew Williams
All alone, we're falling down
this jaded world, it laughs
all alone, we cry
our scraped hands held high
reaching out for comfort
we're met with hard stares
all alone, we dry
our teary eyes tonight
oh no, we're falling down again
get up, up high above the pain within
your eyes, they see a world full of sin
don't try, they're telling me don't try
oh no, they're telling me don't try
