Tabula Rasa

In a place beyond redemption / could we start our love anew?
Tabula rasa / to reclaim a love that's true
I was scared to say 'I love you' / We've been down this road before
You tell me all I want to hear / but I need so much more

No more stolen kisses in the dark / I want the world to know
That you love me, you need me, you'd finally choose me / and never let me go
Would you hold my hand and reach for me? / A bridge across the years
A life with you to make amends / a life with no more tears

In a place beyond redemption / we will start our love anew
Tabula rasa / to reclaim a love that's true
Too much history to save the past / but love me now and this will last
Tabula rasa / and reclaim a love that's true


The Missing Piece

Every time you disappear, you break my heart again.
And every time you reappear, a piece of me returns.
I swore I'd never fall again, but you never left my heart
One word and I'm in love again, I'd give you my soul forever

Chorus:
I fell in love with your fantasies / unquenchable desire
You'd whisper secrets in my ear / that filled me up with fire.
You said I was the missing piece—your first, your last, your only.
You lied with such sincerity / before you left me lonely.

I thought you knew I was The One; you said you loved me insanely
You'd take me to such heights sublime / and then you'd run away
How can you complete me so / then expect me to live without you?
My trampled heart won't ever learn / you only bring me pain.

Chorus

We had a love that people search / all their lives in vain
You've run from this for your whole life / left me far away
But something draws you back to me / you can't escape our connection
Well I'll be gone when you return / and realize all you've lost forever.

I fell in love with your fantasies / unquenchable desire
You'd whisper secrets in my ear / that filled me up with fire.
You said I was the missing piece—your first, your last, your only.
You lied with such sincerity / so now I'll leave you lonely.


Ephemera

So I missed the moment / tryin' to take
The perfect picture of it / memory to make
Dreaded the ending / before it came
Spoiled the moment / 'fore it ended all the same I'll be grateful / for fleeting time
No regrets when it's / time to draw the line
Every encounter / a relationship distilled
Do I still want you / 'causeyou leave me unfulfilled?

Chorus


Nevermind, Nevermind

Chorus:
Nevermind, nevermind, you'll never be mine
That's okay, that's okay, I knew it'd be this way
But one day it'll bring you down to your knees
to see my hips could bring you ecstasy

You were my favorite friend / Swore this would never end
I wasn't sure I'd risk it all for more
But you loved me to the core
Said my heart you'd keep / I never thought that I would weep
I should've known you'd used those lines before

Chorus

Oh, you silly boy / I was your favorite toy
Till you forgot me there on your shelf
You wouldn't think beyond yourself
As you kept me there / assured you still cared
As you pursued everybody else

Chorus

You thought you played it clever / thought I would wait forever
I couldn't wait for the twelfth of never
But I was your best ever, So
you're done playin' the field / and you're ready to yield
But now it's me who gets to say 'never'!

Chorus


The Perfection of Possibility

So whaddya do when memory fades / Into the fantasy of the best day
That you never, ever had?
And reality always fails to compete / With the perfection of possibility
'Cause the fantasies linger long enough / To spoil everything

Was it prescience or paranoia / That I knew that you'd destroy me
As you tempted me with dreams / I knew you couldn't deliver
And reality always fails to compete / With the perfection of possibility
'Cause the dreams linger long enough / To spoil everything

Was it lack of imagination / Or clarity of vision
That reality could never bring / These dreams to life?
And reality always fails to compete / With the perfection of possibility
'Cause the memories linger long enough / To spoil everything

And reality always fails to compete / With the perfection of possibility
'Cause the fantasies linger long enough / To spoil everything
