Pictures Now

All of the pictures are just pictures now
All of the stories are just fiction now
I'm not sure what I ever saw in them
Is that what makes me a boy or what makes me a man?

Do you see me as another little kid
Who's bitten off more than he can chew?
A love-shot litterbug
Crawling after you?

Puzzle pieces represent another perfect fit
Drawing attention to an outline drawn in sand
A fired up world
Three points from caving in

All of the hello's are just filler now
All of the goodbye's are just new ghost towns
I'm not sure what I ever saw in them
Is that what makes me a boy or what makes me a man?

Would you ever look up to a figment of me?
Or like a proud lawn, staying two steps ahead
Trying to figure out
What's worth alive or dead

Are you a fan of love, clandestinely?
A broken bottle shard filling in for your cool
If I don't ask the question
I won't have to face the truth

All of the pictures are just pictures now
All of the stories are just fiction now
I'm not sure what I ever saw in them
Is that what makes me a boy or what makes me a man?

Serendipity

She fell in love with him
The moment the cigarette touched his lips
She was in search for a sense
of danger laced with experience

She needed a best friend
One that'd never break, just bend
Under ev'ry bit of her will
Safety latches under the thrill

So if you fall through the cracks, waiting to land on your back
Remember the impact that you could have had
But instead you decided to throw it all away
Throw it away

Instead she found a film
Playing though moments in her head
Watching 'til the tail end
Waiting for the recovery

Roses out on a limb
With a different name, a different whim
She felt her sun burning out
Leaving her with nothing to laugh about


So if you fall through the cracks, waiting to land on your back
Remember the impact that you could have had
But instead you decided to throw it all away
Throw it away
Serendipity

She fell in love with him
