Come, my love, the stage is waiting,
Be the one to save my saving grace.

Marry Me (2007)

All your praying moments amount to just one breath.
Please keep your victory
But give me little death.

Marry Me (2007)

I read the signs,
I got all my stars aligned,
My amulets, my charms,
I set all my false alarms,
So I'll be someone
Who won't be forgotten.

Marry Me (2007)

Tell the truth now
Your heart is a strange little orange to peel
What's the deal?

Marry Me (2007)

There are no signs,
There are no stars aligned,
No amulets no charms,
To bring you back to my arms.
There's just this human heart.
That's built with this human fault.
What was your question?
Love is the answer.

I'm crawling through landmines
Just to know where you are.

While people will cheer on the spectacle we've made
I'm sitting and sculpting menageries of saints.

It's time.
You are light.
I guess you are afraid of what everyone is made of —
Time and Light.

Marry me, John, I'll be so good to you —
You won't realize I'm gone,
You won't realize I'm gone.

Your lips are red
My face is red from reading your red lips

I'm not the pawn to your king
I'm not your world on a string
I'm not anyone you'll beat
I'm not anything

Marry Me (2007)

I'm not your mother's favorite dog
I'm not the carpet you walk on
I'm not one small atomic bomb
I'm not any any any anything at all.

Marry Me (2007)

While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days
in backgrounds and landscapes with the languages of saints.
While people are spinning like toys on Christmas day,
I'm inside a still life with the other absentee.

Marry Me (2007)

Your skin's so fair its not fair

Marry Me (2007)

I do a dance to make the rain come,
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down.
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real.

Marry Me (2007)

Little lamb, what's your plan?
Greener pastures in the sky?
It's a shame you want to die know why
Just to find you've been blinded to the greenest of pastures they're right here on Earth
For what it's worth you're not the first to break my heart.

Marry Me (2007)

Now, now ...
You don't mean that say you're sorry
You don't mean that ... I'll make you sorry

Marry Me (2007)
