My name is still the same even though you call me what you do
My aim is still the same even though you call me on what I do
Don’t need no blueprints or strict guidelines,
or someone yellin’ “Get Back In Line”
For I spent all this precious time to be free...oh baby babe,

On the landslide I’m looking inside to find I
I know why the dove cries and the wind bleeds and the moon sighs ‘cause that’s how I’m feelin’, like a stranger on the ceiling in danger of Falling once again, but this time she’s a friend

And all the walls come crumbling down
All the walls come crumbling down, down
All the walls come crumbling down
All the walls come crumbling down, down

And so it was that I stumbled out the alley
to be greeted by the lily of the valley
Said she just needed ta get lost for a while
and so it was that we ran through the trees for miles and miles
I told ‘er Cedar trees have red hearts like us
she said “Ya make me happy, that’s why I trust ya
with the knowledge of my body” as if that wasn’t enough to rhyme
we drank the blood of the wild black Muscatine...oh baby babe,

On the landslide I’m looking inside to find I
I know why the dove cries and the wind bleeds and the moon sighs ‘cause that’s how I’m feelin’, like a stranger on the ceiling in danger of Falling once again, but this time she’s a friend

And all the walls come crumbling down
All the walls come crumbling down, down
All the walls come crumbling down
All the walls come crumbling down, down

And so it was that it came to be, that it came to be patience
Why couldn’t I see that before
Oh, and the comfort in your arms as we loved,
as we loved behind closed doors
Of course it’s just a metaphor ‘cause it don’t take a genius to see the love, the love that exists between you and me

--------------------

Honey burned and stricken blind
I try to write another line
‘cause it would have taken time
to heal the wounds that haunt my mind

Looking for a comfort zone
Spending too much time alone
Well I don’t have to look too far
that comfort comes from in my heart

Time just seems to linger on
One minute your here, then gone
But that won’t stop me see
‘cause I’m just one to let things be

I would have been right by your side, had I known
I came as soon as I could, yet too late
I would have stayed there in your arms, all night long
I know it’s all been said and done, but it’s my release

Staring strangers everyday
They’re all set in there ways
I am just a passer by
don’t talk to me I won’t reply

You ask me if I’ll let you in
Want to know where I’ve been
Well if you have love for me
then you’ll just have to let things be

I would have been right by your side, had I known
I came as soon as I could, yet too late
I would have stayed there in your arms, all night long
I know it’s all been said and done, but it’s my release

All the songs I’d write were for you
Analogy or not it still shown through
So I search my head for what I’d have said
If I had only had the chance, and I’d have said
I would hold you as long as you needed me to
I would hold you all night if you needed me to
I would hold you as long as you needed me to, ‘cause

I would have been right by your side, had I known
I came as soon as I could, yet too late
I would have stayed there in your arms, all night long
I know it’s all been said and done, but it’s my release
