I want a new place, new friends
I want the old ones back again
I want a little encouragement
I want you to sigh and shake your head
I want the one on the left
and now the one on the right
I’m a little perplexed
I want them at the same time
I want to transcend to a higher place
I want to be content with my current state
I want a new start, a clean slate
I want to dig in my heels and keep it all the same
And what I really want to do, I do not do
And what I really don’t want to do, I do
I’m just looking for relief
Yeah I just want a little peace
I’m gonna pour another drink
‘Cause I just want to get to sleep
Between the rational mind and my chaotic dreams
Between the hard facts and the mystery
Between the wide awake and the half asleep
Between the limited and the infinite
I take two steps forward
Now two steps back
Then I take two steps forward again
Now two steps back
Between the sugar coated and the bitter pill
Between the moving forward and the standing still
Between the infinite mind and the caged will
Between the self restraint and the seed spilled
Well I get pulled to the left
Now pulled to the right
And I can’t make up my mind
I need a little more time, just give me more time
I’m just looking for relief
Yeah I just want a little peace
I’m gonna pour another drink
‘Cause I just want to get to sleep
Would You Do It Again?
Here I am, once again
Not quite the same place but close enough
Felt the rush then a world of pain
You played with fire
What did you expect?
You got what you were always going to get
Right down to this very regret
But I’d do it again
We made love in the dark
Our bodies locked but still not close enough
Your breath on my neck
Our racing hearts
Yeah I’d do it again
And I know that I’m not the only man
Not even the first one that you call upon
To share your body and your beautiful heart
But call me any time and I will come
