"LIKE HE GETS TO LOVE HER"
by Mel Fine
he’s six five she’s dressed in white
they walk slow on the sidewalk
holding hands because they can
and no one gives a damn
across the street, it’s you and me
eyes at our feet as we small talk
we understand if if we held hands
they’d see two best friends
what if i want to hold you outside when the air gets cold?
what if i want to kiss you in the isles of the grocery store?
what if i want to bring you home, introduce you to the neighbors next door?
what if i want to love you like he gets to
love her?
we sit and wait they call my name
six am in the ER
the doctor says you can’t come in
cause he sees two best friends
what if i want to hold you outside when the air gets cold?
what if i want to kiss you in the isles of the grocery store?
what if i want to bring you home, introduce you to the neighbors next door?
what if i want to love you like he gets to
love her?
what if i want to hold you every day until we get old?
what if i want to kiss you at the alter because i’m sure?
what if i want to be your home, see your face each night you walk through that door?
what if i want to love you like he gets to
love her?
"RIGHT HERE"
by Mel Fine and Grahm Finn
worn out suitcase clothes around the room
staring at me while i look at you
golden hair rose lips you’re quite the view
kiss you slowly as the sun peeks through
take in your eyes take in your smile
i know i won’t see them for a little while
look at the time
hold me for a little longer
cause i know you’ll be gone tomorrow
make the future disappear
breathe me in for a moment
let me go soft and slow
i’m memorizing how you feel
so when you’re gone i’ll still have you right here
gave me notes to read when i get home
so i’ll hear your voice when i am gone
i’ll wear the bracelet that you made, my love
so you’ll know you’ll always be the one
take in your eyes take in your smile
i know i won’t see them for a little while
look at the time
hold me for a little longer
cause i know you’ll be gone tomorrow
make the future disappear
breathe me in for a moment
let me go soft and slow
i’m memorizing how you feel
so when you’re gone i’ll still have you right here
miles apart
you’ll still be in my arms,
in my heart
and i won’t let you go
you’ll never be alone
hold me for a little longer
cause i know you’ll be gone tomorrow
make the future disappear
breathe me in for a moment
let me go soft and slow
i’m memorizing how you feel
so when you’re gone i’ll still have you right here
"ALONE TOGETHER"
by Mel Fine
two different coasts
seven days ago you held me so close
california called and you had to go
back home
nothing to do
cause my favorite entertainment was you
now i’m worried that you’ll find someone new
back home
I text you every minute
you tell me that you miss me, do you mean it?
I tell myself I won’t quit
I won’t let the distance get between us
oh oh oh
is it wrong to hope that you are lonely
oh oh oh
want you admit you want me
oh oh oh
is it bad to say that i’d feel better
oh oh oh
knowing we’re alone together
don’t disappear
I need to know that you will still care
about my love while I am stuck here
back home
think about you every minute
I wonder if you miss me like you promised
maybe I should just quit
stop and let the distance grow between us
oh oh oh
is it wrong to hope that you are lonely
oh oh oh
want you admit you want me
oh oh oh
is it bad to say that i’d feel better
oh oh oh
knowing you’re alone
i’d feel much better
alone together
oh oh oh
is it wrong to hope that you are lonely
oh oh oh
want you admit you want me
oh oh oh
is it bad to say that i’d feel better
oh oh oh
knowing we’re alone together
"IN BETWEEN."
by Mel Fine
your boutonniere sits on the table
dad buttons your sleeves
momma fixes your makeup
they don’t know you’re not their little prom queen
stare into the mirror
breathe reality in
maybe this is the moment
you’ll find comfort in your own skin
it’s time to tell yourself the truth
about why dress shoes feel this good on you
you’re in between
the men you look up to
and the woman they said you’d turn out to be, now you see
you’re in between
a question, an answer
the person you know that you were meant to be, finally
cause it feels just right
when you wear that suit and tie
halloween you dressed up as a pirate
when all your friends were in pink
dreamed about cutting your hair short
sweeping pretty girls off of their feet
it’s time to tell the world the truth
about why dresses don’t feel good on you
you’re in between
the men you look up to
and the woman they said you’d turn out to be, now you see
you’re in between
a question, an answer
the person you know that you were meant to be, finally
cause it feels just right
when you wear that suit and tie
you’re not stuck in one of two sides
be your own design
you’re in between
the men you look up to
and the woman they said you’d turn out to be, now you see
you’re everything
a question, an answer
the person you know that you were meant to be, finally
cause it feels just right
when you wear that suit and tie
