Just in case

Crumpled in the corner, defeated
Listening to the sounds of the night
Watching the clouds as they faded
Waiting till they're out of sight
Rain drops still damp on my face
Forming thoughts and words just in case
You're thinking of me...

Ridden out the storms and settled
Back in bed before first light
You've never known where I've headed
But some day I'll have taken flight
You'll be in a dull dreamy daze
Every time you don't see my face
And you'll think of me...

Falling

On my lips
Are someone else's words
On my tongue
The taste of someone else
Darling please,
What I mean is something else

I have been
Leading a split life
Now I'm afraid
Of falling between the cracks
And when the dark
Comes to get me, let me be
On my own
