If Everything Fell Quiet (Reindeer Section)

Be my guide

Be my pilot

Be the breath on my face

Be the arms that can form it

Be the heart in my chest

This is the way I want you to begin my life

I couldn't face another night like that again

Be my hope, I'll be your hope

Be the hair that knots with my hair

Be the drink when I am thirsty

Be the hand to hold at night

This is the way I want you to begin my life

I couldn't face another night like that again

Reindeer Section- Your Sweet Voice

Your sweet voice, 

Lets me know there is a choice

Please me slow,

Much more slowly than that

And when we danced, 

We danced one cheek to cold cheek

A sideways glance

I knew you were looking at him

I can't call you a friend,

'Cause when you left me here, 

You left me here to die

Don't worry, I won't call you again,

'Cause when I take a hint,

I take it pretty hard

And when you broke my heart,

You broke it into shards of glass

The telephone yells out at me to wake,

I won't be blamed for someone else's mistakes

It's your sweet voice

Sounding cheery on the line

It breaks my heart,

As I ease up on the charm

Can I call you my friend?

'Cause it's been so long since we talked

And I miss you

Don't worry I'm over you right now,

So my feelings won't get in the way of it,

Oh, and I miss the way

We talked about the little things

You take my breath away... No matter what else happens, you always will.

I miss your arms wrapped around me

Made me feel safe, warm, integral

Send shivers down my spine again,

From the roots of my hair, to the tips of my toes

I miss your kisses, soft and sweet

Wonderful and fulfilling

Close my eyes, and dream of you lying right beside me,

Again, I'm told, if dreamt twice, a dream comes true

I miss your ambrosial scent

Weak at the knees, I would become,

If you did not hold the weight I so freely give,

Promptly, becoming a slight plash on the floor below your feet

I miss your engaging eyes,

The primary color between green and violet on a color wheel

Ravishing and breathtaking they become,

Slowly they tangle with mine, of similar color

I miss your stunning smile

Indescribable is the feeling I get when the rare occasion appears

Sensitive is the aura which it gushes

This simper of yours creates a rush of blood through my cheeks

I miss forgetting to breathe

I miss the light in my eyes

I miss the laughter

I miss the exhaustion of the next morning;

the surge of emotion;

the adrenaline;

the daydreams;

the madness, and the joy.

I've always known what I wanted.

Always been the kind to give everything that's in me.

My passion, my emotions, my all.

It's not something I regret, and it's not something I can stop.

It's the way I'm made... my insides are torn, not by choice.

What I need right now, is to know I'm worth your time.

To believe in the damage I've done.

Put some weight into this, for my sake.

I need gravity to weigh us down, if that's what you want.

I need something to withstand a storm.

I've always been a substitute person; a world class secondhand serenade.

I always will be the one who isn't worth your time.

The middle person; the hand-me-down; the secondhand rose; the substitute person.

I'll always be a Claire.

"You and I have a special talent, and I saw it immediately"

"Tell me."

"We're the substitute people."

"The substitute people"

"I've been the substitute person my whole life. I'm not an Ellen. I never wanted to be an Ellen; and I'm not a Cindy, either, although Chucks love me."

"I'm sure they do."

"I like being alone too much."

"I mean, I'm with a guy who's married to his academic career. I rarely see him, and I'm the substitute person there. I like it that way. It's a lot less pressure."

Flyleaf-All Around Me

My hands are searching for you

My arms are outstretched towards you

I feel you on my fingertips

My tongue dances behind my lips for you

This fire rising through my being

Burning I"m not used to seeing you

I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing

My hands float up above me

And you whisper you love me

And I begin to fade

Into our secret place

The music makes me sway

The angels singing say we are alone with you

I am alone and they are too with you

I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing

And so I cry

The light is white

And I see you

I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing

Take my hand

I give it to you

Now you own me

All I am

You said you would never leave me

I believe you 

I believe

I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healed

Congratulations-Blue October and Imogen Heap

Is that seat taken

Congratulations

Would you like to take a walk with me

My mind it kind of goes fast

I try to slow it down for you

I think I'd love to take a drive

I want to give you something

I've been wanting to give to you for years

My heart

My heart, my pain won't cover up

You left me.. hu hu hu hu

My heart won't take this cover up

You left me.. hu hu hu hu

I came to see the light in my best friend

You seemed as happy as you'd ever been

My chance of being open was broken

And now you're Mrs. him

My words they don't come out right

But I'll try to say I'm happy for you

I think I'm going to take that drive

I want to give you something

I've been wanting to give you for years

My hearts

My heart, my pain won't cover up

You left me.. hu hu hu hu

My heart

My heart won't take this cover up

You left me.. hu hu hu hu

And I can't change this

I can never take it back

But now I can't change your mind

(You left me)

And I can't this

I can never take this back

But now I can't change your mind

can't change your mind

(You left me)

Can't change your mind

(You left me, you left me, you left me, you left me)

Go away

Make it go away

Please

I'm not sure if you could fully understand, and I don't know if you ever will. I can certainly try to tell you... I do. I absolutely adore having you in my life. I love being around you. I honestly don't care if all we do is sit and stare at each-other.... that'd probably bring about some giggles, at least from my end. You're great. Different from anyone I've ever even considered being in like with. You understand the fact that music is the second most important thing that exists. You get the fact that while words speak, actions speak louder. I don't feel like I have to explain things... which is awesome, because I've never had that before with anyone... even my best of friends. It's amazing that I can feel this happy again. I hope it lasts, because life should be happy, and there should be gladness in this cold heart that I have had recently.
