lyrics

CHALKLINE
sometimes you gotta run
just to see who will follow
when a taste is not enough
of your wildest dream

like the barrel of a gun
pointed at your self-destruction
you can find a new beginning
in the smithereens

you're thinking
oh my
mistakes belong in a song
as the tears fall down
somehow
its time to move along

dyin to be more than just a chalkline
at the scene of the crime

some lies we just believe
to avoid a conversation
but when nothing's what it seems
i am comfortable

and the future we can't rush
will never be the destination
of the feelings we can't touch
waiting by the phone

for you to call out:
hello its not too late
for my daydream
so i'll see you
on the
outside

dyin to be more than just a chalkline at the scene of the crime
trying to feel a moment that is all mine

that nobody knows and no one can find
when i come around
from the island where i hide
there'll be no
dancing on the edge of this life

dyin to be more than just a chalkline at the scene of the crime
trying to feel a moment that is all mine
nobody knows and only i can find it always
dyin to be more than just a chalkline
i want to be
more than a memory.

Peter Munters Los Angeles, California

Shake up the bottle and let it explode
when the world is spinning beyond control.
Turn out the light but not the song.
Reach through the dark
and switch me on.
