Honey 04:26
Honey, if I had your smile, I could light up the whole room And if I had your eyes, all the little stars in the sky would be jealous And the fireflies would dance around my head, and never compare So be gentle with your words, sing me lullabies, your voice strong and sure Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine – and listen to my heart beat like ripples growing at the touch of raindrops falling from the sky So, don’t hold back, and I'll be fine You don’t have to be a superman to be mine Arms wide open, eyes wide shut You make me feel like there is more to "I’m in love" So, take your time – I’m always here You're my everlasting honey, my dear Arms wide open, there's no bluff You make me feel like there is more to "I’m in love"

Patterns in the sky, leaves fall and they fly And the wind leads the way Small brown feathered bird, he could rule the world For all he’s seen today And I’d be surprised if his spirit ever died You can’t light a candle expecting there not to be flame A picture at a time, a frame is worth a dime Even with edges frayed He’ll fly them to your home, and when the bird’s alone He’ll gather your mind away And you’ll spend an age – your heart in his golden cage Time’s ticking on you have no one but yourself to Blame, and you’re falling for his game You’re the same – just another picture frame That’s sitting on his shelf Little bird kept you to himself You can’t see the grin from under the smile Everything is skewed, you don’t know what to do Or what words you should say But mind that little bird – he’ll make himself heard Your worries he’ll wash away You’ll be confused - and soon he’ll become your muse That sweet little bird you can’t see that he has to be Tamed, and you’re falling for his game You’re the same – just another picture frame That’s sitting on his shelf Little bird kept you to himself You can’t see the grin from under the smile From under the smile Cause hey, you’re falling for his game You’re the same – just another picture frame That’s sitting on his shelf Little bird kept you to himself You can’t see the grin from under the smile You can’t see the grin from under the smile

I dreamed I had hair, she said – it was flowing like the sea Then I woke up to find that I’m still here So I was standing there, taking in the breeze Thinking it don’t bother me no more, I think… I know But wires and pins, wires and pins And wires and pins, wires and pins Wires and pins, wires and, she asks herself if she can ask herself tomorrow Just close your eyes and you’ll be fine – you’ll sleep for a little while We’re here for you, don’t hesitate to ask – be quiet now my child Oh speak up, I can’t hear you – stop that noise, I can’t steer you We’re here to help you, here to help you Help me The people are nice, she said – they remember my name They beds are comfy here, but not the same And when I feel sick inside, they’ve everything I need I’ll get out of this, it’s nice to believe But wires and pins, wires and pins And wires and pins, wires and pins Wires and pins, wires and, she asks herself if she can ask herself tomorrow Just take this now, you’ll be alright – this lady will be with you tonight We’re here for you… we have to go – you’ll make it out of this, I know Just keep wishing – can’t afford… I can’t take this anymore They’re here to help you, here to help you Help me But wires and pins, wires and pins And wires and pins, wires and pins Wires and pins, wires and, she asks herself if she can ask herself tomorrow

All I wanted was to feel fine Get my thoughts into a straight line But broken silence is too much for me And in this haze I find I cannot see Into the deep end I must go Does this road end? I don’t know Close my eyes, plug my ears again It’s some surprise how the years have been I don’t know why we don’t let it end When you and I know that it’s just pretend When you and I know that it’s just pretend Always ready for a long descant It’s like I’m rearing for unwritten plans But time just hides himself away from me Envelopes me in unending dreams A single light on in the dark Find a way to make a spark Boil us down and we are just the same Nothing to lose and everything to gain On solid ground we can remain For we can choose the ending of this game For we are nothing but a long refrain We are nothing but a long refrain
