It's all stop signs
It's all lines that shouldn't be crossed
It's all interpretations that have been lost in translation
Even when the meaning is embossed on something that redefines stop signs
Something that erases and redraws lines for all the times curiosity gets the better of us
But until it gets the best we test the lines
Until it gets the best it's all stop signs
Now all that you are
Changes we love
While you are gone
I'll be waiting
And then theres you
And i wanna kiss you so bad
That i'd be willing to cut off my own head
And just throw it towards you lips
And you'd be well within your rights to just swat it to the floor
But i'd redefine hardcore
Lying there at the tips of your toes
Because god knows i'd be trying to figure out
Some way to roll towards them
And maybe that's crossing the line
Maybe that's a little creepy
Did i mention that i like you?
If i knew you better than i do
I would know creepy's not the way to go
So how's this?
I wanna kiss you like a traffic jam
I wanna move slow
I wanna stop and go like i know at least i'm moving towards you
And theres no use weaving through the gridlock
Because every clock keeps poly ticking and tocking
To tell me this time for all the amazing in-between
Thats been seen and heard
And each word that's pa**ed between us
Like someone with somewhere to go
And i know i hardly know you so lets
Go slow
Like a turtle with a purpose
Lets not miss a single minute
Because every 60 seconds
That contained within it
Are the two hundred times i've tried
To coax each smile to bloom into a laugh
And the exact science of math
Can't begin to calculate half the time it would take to
Make misery turn itself into a punch-line
One that was willing to mine past silver and gold
Just looking for something to tell you something that's never been told
I wanna hold you like mine are the last arms in the world
I want them curled around you like the red and white stripes on a barber pole
And when i give you a lump of coal for christmas
And tell you that
In a million years...
It's gonna be a diamond
And will you wait for me until then?
Because that's when i'll be evolved enough
To melt all the other brains of men on earth
And maybe i've got a shot if all that remains
Is two gazelles on a Serengeti planes and me
Of course if you're willing to make sweet, sweet love
With animals, i'll totally understand
I'm good like that
I'll ban together with whatever vegetation is left living
Me three weeds and a rubber plant
Will spend thanksgiving saying how
"grateful we are that you're happy."
Now all that you do
Helps me get through love
If you're unsure
I will show you
I want you to feel like the banana peal
Under Charlie chaplains shoe
Because it's you that brings the house of this heart down
It's you that's the chamber of commerce
In a town thats got nothing to offer
But everything everyone can't find every where else under the sun
I'm done with all of the every that
Done thinking of where it is i'm going
I'm figuring about where it is i'm at
And that has got to be beside the one who's stopped me from trying to calculate the sum total of someone
As if this biological calculus has ever done anything for me
Other than the something that keeps me seeking to self providence that don't exist
Like a swat team sharp shooter with cataracts
I've missed the point more times than certain americans have been elected to the oval office...
Which is always once too often
And lets face it
Sometimes two, too many
But this time
I'm willing to pay interest on a penny for your thoughts
Mortgage my mind
Finance an expedition that will find me a better way to get to know you
Because i've read through the short story of my life
And found that your name stands out on the page
Your slightest look unlocks the tumblers on my rib cage
And you can gage my sincerity
When i lift my heart towards you and tell you in a million years...
It'll be less than dust
The slightest gust will blow it away
But you'll have to listen to wind chimes say
That you still are worth waiting for
Don't tell me you're not beautiful
You're the kind of beautiful that the blind would see
If we could figure out some way to give them three seconds of sight
When you tell me you're not gorgeous i want to pop out your left eye
And show it to your right
Now, all that you do
Helps me get through love
If you're unsure
I will show you
All that you are
Changes me love
While you are gone
I'll be waiting
You're worth crossing whatever distance it would take
Worth building bridges to make a connection
Because i've been secretly stealing stop signs
Repainting traffic lines so i can only go one way
Because as far as i can tell
Dedication is the better part of foreplay
And i admit it i'm committed
Everything i've done i've did it to make you smile
Because it's been the largest part some long while
Since i've had someone do that for me
You feel like comedy
After three years of being on the bandwagon of calamity
And i can't be bothered with a tragedy
Without trying to get to know you
I've been through enough wretchedness to know
That some flowers can still grow through the garbage
And you make me want to take up gardening
Seeing sadness drain the spirit out of this history
As if the worst is yet to come
Those that took the time to know me
Know i don't run
Partly because i'm not athletic
But mostly because that's life and i've met it head on!
I've gone the distance more times than George Lucas looked at Jarjar Binks and thought
"fu*k!"
And until I fit the bill
I will still fill my day's trying
Because i'm yours
From the bottom. to the top
And i'm not just saying i'll be here for you
I'm saying i'll never stop
