Eraser

I can recall when
every lovin' word and
every tainted look was for me


walkin down the dark path
didn't think you had it
in you to run away like you did


left me in the cold no
left me to myself oh
you're so wreckless, and then welcoming


Go ahead.
 Erase me from your life.
 Let me blow away off the paper in your wind, 
and get lost in the lyrics a thousand poets have unwritten.
Tales of torture, sadness, distance, madness.
 Let me add to the number- as long as you always remember 
the song of my heart.


you're like a little child when 
you ring the doorbell and then
I open up and you've gone away


are you giggling in the bushes?
are your friends your crutches?
do you simply not know what to say?


I would be so bold though
to just take a hold of
your collar and kiss you anyway




Go ahead.
 Erase me from your life.
 Let me blow away off the paper in your wind, 
and get lost in the lyrics a thousand poets have unwritten.
Tales of torture, sadness, distance, madness.
 Let me add to the number- as long as you always remember 
the song of my heart.


Don't walk down this street anymore
I'm lockin all the windows, hiding the keys to the door
don't bother callin this phone
you know I won't answer
you know I'm not home






Go ahead.
 Erase me from your life.
 Let me blow away off the paper in your wind, 
and get lost in the lyrics a thousand poets have unwritten.
Tales of torture, sadness, distance, madness.
 Let me add to the number- as long as you always remember 
the song of my heart.
