www.lesliehunt.net LESLIE HUNT LYRICS FROM THE STRANGE TO A STRANGER, 2007 I i’ve got a novel expression erupting from my two headlights / knocking around in the dark for this glimmering jewel / i caught a glimpse, then it vanished / i tasted in full, on my / tongue, all the sweetness / and all the affections that soothe as they can shock me / can soothe as they can shock me still perfectly still / yes, you heard me right / miss fidgety / suddenly stayed asleep all night / believe me, i’m usually tossing and turning / at one with the yearning / for more than what’s in my face / this one thing i can say / missing you did not begin today / i walk along in the dark as a captive / these images consume me / and passerby’s assuming / my wide-eyed stare is at thin air / no, i’m not really here / my heart’s on vacation / it’s a winning combination / just the flesh left behind / and a mind that can’t begin to / fathom things without you / yes, you heard me right / miss fidgety suddenly stayed asleep all night / believe me, i’m usually tossing and turning / at one with the yearning / for more than what’s in my face / this one thing i can say / missing you did not begin today / i’ve got a full set of fingerprints / wrapping around my insides / one indication that i’ve already been claimed / and while i can’t place my hands on your face / or my world on your shoulders, i’m addicted / to blistering, smoldering heat within my heartache / this unexpected heartache / now, of all times / can’t fate allow more time / could we just have more time / should we just take our time / this is how my nature intended / reaching for words that have never been invented / writing this song into your head / as your ghost is heating my bed / meet me where we intersected / show me where you were effected / bear in mind, i am defenseless / to our interlocking senses / yes, you heard me right / miss fidgety suddenly stayed asleep all night / believe me, i’m usually tossing and turning at one with the yearning / for more than what’s in my face / this one thing i can say / missing you did not begin today / did not begin today / no, it’s always been this way spill this confession lean closer, ‘cause i can’t scream this for all to hear me / spill this confession / all day is spent dreaming of all the possibilities / we could make with our creative minds and bodies / in the meantime, while you’re flying over the ocean / i’ll be waiting, contemplating all you’ve shown me / oh, baby, i am overcome / with love for everything / and not just anything / it’s you and your / ability to make it so inviting / and so inspiring / just a simple little love song for you to just receive in silence / over here, i got a little ambitious over stating / my invading thoughts of you and i in all kinds of ways / oh, baby, i have got to tell you / things that you could only / dream of hearing / i need to breathe / you daily, and you can breathe me too / if you should so choose - i hope you do / lovely fingers, play for me, for the rest of this our tie completely / holds us to our words, and to each other we can make up new ones / to equate what resonates between the space we close so often / i am dumbstruck at the thought of / what i did before, before, before you came along come on in from this mouth i’m tempting / you with things that should be silenced and kept in back / but your conscience failed you and thought too loudly / your weakness for pleasure is in my hands / just fading out in hopes to blind you / try to turn this down / it’s only louder when you attempt to ignore / so come on in, forbidden are allowed here / this is where restriction has no place / satisfy your right to be indulgent / disregard the voice that sings your shame / maybe once you fill it / empty will be something that you can tolerate / but why deny the minute longings / ‘til they are larger than your will to go on / fading out what longs to find you / truly satisfied / i am the keeper / you are the one i’ll let inside / so come on in, forbidden are allowed here / this is where restriction has no place / satisfy your right to be indulgent / disregard the voice that sings your shame / fill up the void with voices of enjoyment / be the one who’s used to such a high / ‘cause every time you crave it, you obey it / no one else can sing you back outside / fading out what longs to find you truly satisfied / i am the keeper / and you are the one i’ll let inside / so come on in, forbidden are allowed here / this is where restriction has no place / satisfy your right to be indulgent / disregard the voice that sings your shame / fill up the void with voices of enjoyment be the one who’s used to such a high / every time you crave it you obey it / no one else can sing you back outside www.lesliehunt.net LESLIE HUNT LYRICS FROM THE STRANGE TO A STRANGER, 2007 reason for flight i’m crawling down the hallway to the stairwell / i’m clinging to the railing on the wall / you’re leading me with a rhythm i once danced to / and never missed a beat / but i’m feeling like a half-cocked pistol / and i’m teasing all the targets i could hit just breathing could’ve saved me from myself that / dives without waiting and expects to be dry / i’m farther than someday / attempting to bounce right back / there’s nothing, not a branch i can grab for / while falling that could pause the blow / huddled in the spotlight / as my weaknesses shine / what better time than now to / face what i’ve run from / no, the frames that i’ve shattered are fine / it’s so far beyond me / these rooms hold the bullets as proof / this is where the guilty raise their heads / and realize they’re powerless instead / too careless for comfort, too many too fast / forgive me for falling, forget if i fly / as always, there’s a hind and a foresight / that haunts me, til i’m spreading my wings / higher than we were / i’ve the aerial view / i’ll sidetrack the clouds so the sun / lights my reason for flight polygamy it’s a far-fetched little fantasy / that you’d see it all while you’re seeing me / but there’s so much more that you wanna see / that’s alright, though / i know how that goes / it’s a long way from a possible thing / that you’d ever crave what it is that i bring / to your table set, endless candles burning / all invited, crawl behind it / will you just look at me now / and i thought i had no problem with new information / but here i sit on the bed / watching the window for any clue / we have relations / why the long face? ain’t it flattering? / my jealous cuts are deep / so is your dabbling / when you exercise your hypnotic charming / all the pants right off the ones in sight / while you just listen to this / i have no problem with finding other fish / in the sea of “he” / and not to mention that i / should not be made to think twice about / asking you anything / will you just listen to me / downsizing my own philosophies / to fit within yours / but now i’m hearing you say / you love everyone the same way / you’re safely distanced from all commitments / so safely distanced from all commitments jagged thought that i’d forget to breathe / if no one reminded me / notice i’m not gasping for air there’s a lot that i’m learning / and to breathe on my own is just one / one day i’ll feed my own / fire with the trees i’ve grown / finally, there’d be reason to land / there’d be feathers to fall on / ‘til then, i’ll be caught by the one who can / fill me with something to smooth me out / tell me that nothing can stop me now / show me how to push it away / ‘cause i’m jagged / i’m jagged / can’t i stay in this fairy tale / where only the numb prevail / maybe there’s no consequence for my / fake stream of comfort / flowing through what i’ve destroyed / just fill me with something to smooth me out / tell me that nothing can stop me now / show me how to push it away, ‘cause i’m jagged / i’m jagged / and you can see that we’re not the first that / couldn’t find the plug to pull / so all i ask of you tonight / breathe my wind when i pass by / drink my splashes, soak my shade / smile at all the steps i’ve made / just fill me with something i won’t end up needing / tell me that nothing is worth all the bleeding / show me what you failed to before / ‘cause the next time i’m jagged / i’d rather long for ways to the door skin deep way above your head / the jaybird dressed in red / is soaring through the air, above the trees / see how high she flies / in her weightless red disguise / you’d love to fly beside her in the breeze / there’s a new objective on your mind / so you leave your needs behind / she holds the only peace you’re gonna find / you’ve been chasing her for days / feeding nothing but the haze / that grows while you ignore this great disease / you reach, but cannot touch the bird you love so much / she dodges every vain attempt with ease / you’ve agreed to join her in the game / she’ll watch you reach and slowly go insane / while you feel the beauty from the pain / well, now the chase has wounded deeper / than the skin that you won’t feed / you touch her face and try to be her / but her beauty’s just skin deep / look at birdie now / things turned around somehow / she’s fallen and she’s peering up at you / her midnight lullabies / had hushed your desperate cries / but the damage from the chase, she can’t undo / there’s a new objective on your mind / be sure to never, ever, ever be so blind / there is peace down here for you to find / you see the chase has wounded deeper / than the skin you would not feed / her smiling face fools all that see her / and her beauty that’s skin deep / and her beauty that’s skin deep / her beauty that’s skin deep www.lesliehunt.net LESLIE HUNT LYRICS FROM THE STRANGE TO A STRANGER, 2007 pass you around in other words, you’re on / i’ll take you down for fun / pass you around til zero / we’ll see who’s shirt’s undone / no, it’s alright, i’m fine / i was a chord for you to unwind / flatter yourself imagining / you were first in line / one pair of passion eyes / breathless exchange when i caught sight / love, this retreat to silence / is longing to call you mine / mine, all mine / all mine, all mine / all mine down day it’s all my pleasure, for sure, to keep that alive in you / coddling came easy at a very ripe young age / share in the the scre- cy of silence when asked if you’re okay / well, are you okay? / sing it softly, sing it slow / sing it again so we’ll remember how the hell it goes // it’s all you, and i’m getting anxious to begin pleasing you, too / god forbid / while you’re sleeping soundly beneath my awakening to bring as a favor to your party, if you swear you’ll let me in / i’ll bare it all, dear / to let you know, i’m only faking when i’m shaking / this is how it goes // so you cast the first of many more to come / so you cast the first of many more to come // you caught me on a down day, baby / i’ve got it made / you caught me on a down day, believe me / i’ve got it made / you must’ve caught me on a down day, baby / i’ve got it made it’s all my persistence to be worth it this time for a casualty weird/ballsy/painfull shy i’ve been sitting here over two-and-a-half hours / looking for a crack in all this ice / from the strange to a stranger / i’ll laugh about it later / but your bright is burning spots behind my eyes / and this buildup chokes my courage, completely / so much so that i can’t even say hi / after letting my nervous take hold of my purpose / i retire to sitting back and soaking in / all the things that your face says / sincerity in places i never new existed in the skin / so i choose these words i’d hope would explain this / that i’m weird/ballsy/painfully shy / as i result to scrolling out a version of me / for you to wrap your hand around where mine wants to be / i’ll slap it on the counter, then haul ass down the street / ‘cause i need a bit more time with this fantasy / no, a whole lot more time with this fantasy / it’s usually this hard, not this heart-pounding and shaky / but i guess it is a start / to have a hold on what is making me so turned on easy does it easy does it / easy does it / easy does it / was it worth it? / was it worth it? / was it worth it? / is or isn’t he? / is or isn’t he? / come on, is or isn’t he coming? / i can’t understand the way that people meet / if not approached by one random to another on the street / so can i wait awhile? / i’ll wait awhile / easy does it / easy does it / don’t lose it / try your best / try your best / try your best For all
