If you run too fast you bypass a safe place you would have hidden yourself.

Live In A Hiding Place

There are times that I should try,
To be so much more alive
But if time was right then I would be with you again
Or do you worry that I try to avoid the point
And then deny
The time I spent deciding it was you again
It's when I live in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
(That's not hidden now)
I'm safe in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
And you're full of facts
But not things that could add up to words
Think about meaning more as an after word
As in afterward
I return but don't remain,
I'm impatient for a reason
To complain about winter,
Making me see through again
Or is it your damaged reply,
That makes me realize that
The more I try
The less that plans will help me comprehend again
So I live in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I'm safe in a hiding place
(That's not hidden now)
I'm safe in a hiding place
It's the only way I feel safe
When I live in a hiding place
And you're full of facts
But not things that could add up to words
You think about meaning more as an after word
And you're full of facts
But not things that could add up to words
You think about meaning more as an after word
As in afterward

Please Bypass This Heart

Please bypass this heart
By: jimmy buffett, will jennings, michael utley
1985
Close your eyes and click your heels, think of skating rinks and
Spinning wheels. of those who will and those who wont, some
Hearts break while others dont.
Every day I read about these operations
That make a heart thats weak so strong again
I relate it to my own situation
And now I know just what to say to you
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart
In simpler times I didnt need a lotta healin
My heart was young and strong and worked just fine
But now youve shown me theres a hurtin side of feelin
Theres just one cure and heres what you must do
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart
-- spoken:
Skaters reverse
Couples only
All skate, all skate
Chorus:
Please bypass this heart
Until Im well again
Lets not even start, to fall, where we fell again
The cheating was sweet but my heart is beat
Dont tear it apart
Please bypass this heart
Please bypass this heart

I'm Loving Every Moment With You

Do you realize how long it's been
Where does all my time with you go?
And all the memories
We shared as friends
Reflected-in my heart
Is where they show

I'm loving every moment with you
I'm living in a dream that's comin' true
I'm lost in everything you do
I love you
I'm saving every moment for you
You're hidden in a place that's safe and true
Lovin' everything we do

With every second
You hold me near
I'm closer to a place I want to be
To hear you whisper
But no one else can hear
I want your love
To stay forever-inside of me

I'm loving every moment with you
I'm living in a dream that's comin' true
I'm lost in everything you do
I love you
I'm saving every moment for you
You're hidden in a place that's safe and true
Lovin' everything we do

In our silence
Looking in your eyes
I hear words you don't need to say
Just hold on baby
'Cause it's reason-I'm prayin'
You feel what I feel
In every way

A Safe Man

A SAFE MAN
WITH A SAFE SMILE
SEEMED SO SAFE TO THE TOUCH
A SAFE MAN AS TO WHOM I I SAW AS MY FATHER
SO SAFE OR SO I THOUGHT
MY SAFE MAN
MY SAFE FATHER
NOT SO SAFE
MY SAFE FATHER WHOM DID THINGS THAT MADE ME FEEL INDANGERD
ON THAT NIGHT HE STOLE MY DIGNITY &+ MY SELF WORTH
MY SAFE MAN
MY SAFE FATHER
NOT SO SAFE

It's just a song

It's just a song
I can do it right
Make it sing like heaven
Hidden all about

Absolutely useless
For a twisted mind
Just a hollow sound
Or a bypass field
That remained unploughed

It's just a song
Let me take a tune
Simple hands playing
A very simple mind

So don't be afraid
Next time it comes to you
Just a song that's made
For a day to pull through

It's just a song
I can do it right
Make it sing like heaven
Hidden all about

This is heaven to no one else but me

In this place
I am safe
Safe from other opinions
The expectance to have courage and grace
Here in this place
I can be afraid
Of the words I want to say
But never will
In this place
I can be honest to my heart
I can’t lie and say I’m fine
In this place called heaven
The heaven that is only mine.
A place of broken grace and
The place of unknown time.

Break The Line

you can get it
come and climb under my skin
overtake it
pushing me on a fast lane
come lets get away
noone knows you like i do
we will pass it if
you let the tires kiss the ground
you should go ahead
so fast
you should go ahead
so fast
break the line
we have to go
cause theres no way back
where we are comming from
i'm your engine
got you strapped into my seat
here is our tactic
we get faster
the more i scream
come lets get away
noone drives you like i do
i'm collapsing
when the tires kiss the ground
you should go ahead
so fast
you should go ahead
so fast
break the line
we have to go
cause theres no way back
where we are comming from
and all i try is to break the thin line
nothings gonna stop the way of life
be sure that you are safe
i'll show you a place
where we can be and everyone is dreaming of
you should go ahead
so fast
you should go ahead
so fast
break the line
we have to go
cause theres no way back
where we are comming from

Safe In My Heart

In this world, life can be hard on a sensitive girl
Who do you turn to, when you really need someone
Dont give in, hold on, and in time
The day will come, and you will know
That your life has only just begun
And you will feel love, youll feel the earth meet the heavens above
Leave the past behind, now is the time
Put your trust in me, and believe, when I tell you
I want you, close to me
And from now until the end of time
Youll be safe, safe in my heart, so safe, you know you are
In this space, in this heart
There will always be a place for you
Safe in my heart
From now on, girl Ill be there, Ill be strong for you
When you need me, Ill be right here by your side
Put your trust in me and believe when I tell you
I need you, close to me
From now, till the end of time, I want you to know
You are safe, in my heart, so safe, you know you are
In this space, in this heart
Theres no room, for anyone but you
I would cry for you, even die for you
So just listen and remember, there will always be a place
For you
Safe in my heart

There is No Place Like Home

Not being themselves,
Or feeling the need they can be
Is difficult today,
For those who have charaded.
And afraid to reveal a true face.

Opinionated from behind masks,
They have hidden tasks and agendas.
With pretentions more accepted,
By those who have adapted
To false identities from safe,
Although fake
Places.

So difficult it is today,
For those to charade.
And
For those who have charaded,
With feelings fake that are fading
There is,
No place like home.

There is no place like home.
There is no place like home.
There is no place like home.
Once 'home' has been felt,
With a comfort known
From within!

Safe Place!

I was full of sadness
i sank my cry at bottom
not satisfied
i wanted free my imortal soul!
And
Took off all my clothes
my diamond and one gold ring
and put it on together in a safe place!

Safe

[verse 1]
Here I am alone with You
Quietly I talk to You
You said the truth would set me free
So here I am surrendering
(pre-chorus)
I know I can let your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
[verse 2]
My heart is overflowing
With peace beyond all knowing
This love is deep, it shelters me
And I'm safe within Your reach
(pre-chorus)
I know I can let your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
[bridge]
Though the odds are stacked against me
Though I'm running out of time
My heart is breaking
But I know You are mine
So I let You see into me as
You hold me in Your hand
My heart is on my sleeve
I'm safe because You understand
You understand
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe

Muscidae

I’m foraging for food again only this time there are only crumbs. I haven’t a clue what it is but I know it is edible; I’ve eaten it before. This place is a very risky place to eat. I have seen a few of my kind die here. Their deaths were not a pleasant sight to see so I must always be on my guard. Oh, oh I see that square shadow coming at me fast. Splat! Whew! That was close. I better stay up here where it’s safe for the moment.

Two-winged diptera
Lives to see another day
Survives the onslaught.

Teleportation

So many pages written about the end of the world,
thus there is no more spare room in the brain for them.
How would you approach it?
Hidden in a cathedral, surrounded by false believers?
With your folks, at home, sitting around the table?
In the porch swing, drinking costly wine?
It's original.
In no place and any place.
Alone, in a black hole.
Aha, it seems you've hidden before God.
What cheer!
Lamentably.
A sudden teleportation in a better place.

Beautiful Thoughts

I remember a rustic place
way back from the road
hidden by brush and trees
overlooked if you didn't know
each day I'd pass and strain
to see more than the day before
bus driver might have slowed down
if I had asked her
but I didn't want to share
that place with the others
I imagine an area cleared out behind it
perfect to grow plants, all kinds
pots randomly place on the stoop
with flowers flowing down
a spicket to water them with
and bird houses all around
a hammock made for love
at a secret place in the woods
sounds of a creek nearby
and you with some of your books
I imagine we'd talk for hours
you'd read as I caressed your skin
sharing thoughts about everything
until one of us gave in
all the time in the world
to be near and learn all you are
protected safe in our secret place
like you are in my heart

The Bottle

I am a bottle, so shake
me up. Or don't shake
me up. Do whatever
you want; either way,
I'll like it. If you shou
ld shake me up, the
bubbles will start for
ming, slowly at first,
then coming up to po
p the place above my n
eck and I could burst. I co
uld blow up, explode, spill ever
ything inside, sputter out all the i
nward items I hide. Things safe w
ithin me. They could flow, flood
out till I'm empty then you can de
cide if you want to recycle me. Pr
obably not. Maybe. Oh, I hope so.
Think green. Think of a better wor
ld. A better one. For you. For me.
For all the children that we could h
ave in the future. However, if you d
on't shake me up, I sit here on the
shelf, waiting for the time come a
nd I like that too. The building anti
cipation that builds excitement for t
he bubbles that could build inside
me. There's something safe, som
ething more comfortable in fanta
sy, keeping things hidden for
no one else to see. Pick me
up, put me down, dropp me
falling to the ground, place me in your hands and shake me up in my imagination. There's a soft, stirring feeling in thinking of that.

Lament

Where are those dazzling hills touched by the sun,
Those crags in childhood that I used to climb?
Hidden, hidden under mist is yonder mountain,
Hidden is the heart.

A day of cloud, a lifetime falls between,
Gone are the heather moors and the pure stream,
Gone are the rocky places and the green,
Hidden, hidden under sorrow is yonder mountain,
Hidden, hidden.

O storm and gale of tears, whose blinding screen
Makes weather of grief, snow's drifting curtain
Palls th'immortal heights once seen.
Hidden, hidden is the heart,
Hidden, hidden is the heart.

You Can Dance If You Want To

we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends dont dance
And if they dont dance
Well they're no friends of mine
Say, we can go where we want to
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Because you're one far behind
We can dance
We can go where we want to
The night is young and so am i
And we can dress real neat
From out hats to our feet
Then surprise them with a big trick ride
Say, we can act if we want to
If we dont, nobody will
And you can act real rude
And totally removed
And i can act like an imbusil
Say, we can dance
We can dance
Everything's outta control
We can dance
We can dance
We're doing it more and more
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody's taking the cha-nce
It's safe to dance
Oh well, it's safe to dance
Yes, it's safe to dance
We can dance if we want to
We've got all your life and mine
As long as we abuse it
Never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
I say, we can dance if we want to
We can leave your friends behind
Because your friends dont dance
And if they dont dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can dance
We can dance
Everything's outta control
We can dance
We can dance
We're doing it more and more
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody look at your hands
We can dance
We can dance
Everybody's taking the cha-ance
Well, it's safe to dance
Yes, it's safe to dance
Well, it's safe to dance
Oh well, it's safe to dance
Ah yes, it's safe to dance
Well, it's safe to dance
It's safe to dance
It's safe to dance

Hidden

Hidden away I am.
Locked in my world of dispare.
I have to hide away.
Its safer that way.
No one can get me.
I can hide my pain.

Its all well hidden to the human life.
All hidden deep inside of me.
Hidden its all hidden.

Ive hidden myself away.
Hidden my life in my world.
Just hidden it all is.
Its best that way
