I’ve Been Locked Inside Your Heart-Shaped Box

Your own personal Jesus

She eyes me like a Pisces
when I am weak

I found out what it is that’s been driving me mad –
There’s no room to breathe
between the good and the bad –
A crush in-between, there’s a thin, thin line –
But just ’round the corner, there’s a change in design

There has always been a dividing line

I wish I could walk away
And dig what the preachers say
But those words don’t satisfy me no more

Double cross the vacant and the bored –
They’re not sure just what we have in store

Jesus and his lawyer are coming back

Hey!
Wait!
I’ve got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice…

Your Advice…

Just fifty more years we’re all gonna know
Why, when, where, how, and who gets to go
So let’s all have a good time before the great divide
‘Cause things will start separating come 2025

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse…

I’ve been locked inside your
heart-shaped box…

Gravity

They follow the pattern of the wind, ya see –
‘Cause they got no place to be

Any way the wind blows,
doesn’t really matter to me,
to me

So look for the subtle clues
It won’t make the front-page news
That depends upon which side that you choose

And who knows
which is which
and who is who

I saw the world spin beneath you

All of those selves that you tried –
Wasn’t one of them good enough?

Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus?

Lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and I will try to fix you
