Onions

I can't cut onions because of the burning
Stick out my tongue and wait for morning
I can't sleep tonight
I'm thinking of strangers
Going about their days, not expecting the danger
I can't cut onions without crying
And somewhere there are people dying
And somewhere there are people loving each other
And I still miss my mother
(interlude)
If I could I'd wait by all their mothers doors
With some flowers from the store
Don't know what I would say, but I'm sure
It wouldn't matter anyway

Maurice
Hold me but touch me
Maurice
Love me but don't need me
I will lead you where I want you
Then I'll leave you
Don't pretend not to understand
I still think about you while she lies next to me
I don't really understand
But you were the only one
The only one
Maurice
I hope you're happy
Truly happy
Maurice
Please don't forget about me

Pretty

She was sitting on my bed
Age 10, and she said
You're pretty but you hide it
I looked back at her face and I,
Age 10, didn't know what to say
Now I know what she meant
No honey, I'm not hiding
You've just never seen anything like me
But thanks, I guess
For saying that I'm pretty
No honey, I'm not hiding anything
Something in you has shaken
Something in me
And after 12 years I'll have finally reached
The belly of the beast
Now I really know what it means
To be hiding everything

Should Have Known

Why did you lead me on for so long
When you knew you didn't need to see me again
And now you want to be my friend
Well isn't that nice
I guess I could try to pretend
It doesn't matter anymore
I should have known
When we met
You were only looking for somebody to hold
I helped her count the teeth
Then I sat back down
In my head, replaying everything
You know it's funny, after we talked that time
I didn't cry, I just sat in my room until it got dark
and then it was dinnertime
I should have known
When we met
You were only looking for somebody to hold
You said you always bleed
But honey sometimes you seemed unfeeling
And now it's all fine
It's not your fault
All you ever really did was hurt my pride
I guess I should have known
When we met
You were only looking for somebody to hold
I really should have known
When we met
I was ready to make somebody my home

It's the end of summer
I'm sticking to my sheets now
Trying to keep you close to me
Through the fading light
I stay up all night and think
How can I keep you close to me
When it's all over soon
When it's all over soon
Will it be me
Next to you
Chasing the sun down
I'm running out of time now
Trying to make it back in one piece
When it's all over soon
When it's all over soon
Will it be me
Next to you
Next to you
(interlude)
When it's all over soon
When it's all over soon
Will it be me
Next to you
When it's all over soon
When it's all over soon
I hope it's me
Next to you
Next to you
It's the end of summer
I'm running out of time now
