The Softies

The Softies The Softies Lyrics
1.Snow Like This

Lately the sun's been hiding
There's nothing much exciting
About all these dreary days
I miss you in so many ways

Bears are hibernating
Freezing cold is understating
This morning weather
I wish we were together

So I'll rub away the window frost
In snow like this I could get lost
But I'd tunnel through to get to you
Then I'd never say goodbye
Oh it keeps on coming down
And I write your name there on the ground
But it disappears in frozen tears
That are falling from the sky

Outside the snow keeps falling
If you're cold then I'll come calling
These winter days I find
Seems you're always on my mind

Oh if you only knew
Just how much I think of you
I might not be so cold
If I had your hand to hold

So I'll rub away the window frost
In snow like this I could get lost
But I'd tunnel through to get to you
Then I'd never say goodbye
Oh it keeps on coming down
And I write your name there on the ground
But it disappears in frozen tears
That are falling from the sky


2.Selfish

I know it's hard for you to show that you love me
I can see when you look at me you want to tell me
You say you don't know how
But you don't have to 'cause I know
You say you don't know how
But you don't have to 'cause I know

When you say you've always been this way, I believe you
You tell me this selfish tendency will never leave you
You say you can't change now
But you don't have to 'cause I know
You say you can't change now
But you don't have to 'cause I know

I don't doubt you know all about how I adore you
And if you can't say I love you, I'll say it for you
You say you don't know why
But you don't have to 'cause I know
You say you don't know why
But you don't have to 'cause I know


3.All In Good Time

When I was running around trying to get kissed
And throwing myself at anyone who'd have me
You were one half of one thing with one girl
And this seemed to go on somewhat endlessly
But now that's all over for you
I think it's time I had something just like that too
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
Good things will come dear, all in good time

Softly the days slip by without making much sound
I wonder if you have noticed I'm not around
Stifling these feelings of wanting to hold you
And thinking of things that I shouldn't have told you
Will this true love ever come into being
I'm used to passion not waiting and seeing
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
We'll fall in love someday, all in good time

Blue christmas tree lights are hanging in place
I am waiting to stun you with all of my charm and grace
Planning and scheming on when to steal kisses
And tallying up all my grand hits and misses
Taking it slow doesn't sound so much appealing
Say it again now this time with more feeling
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
I don't belive this should take so much time

I can't wait much longer, short attention span
Won't you to sleep over, at least let's hold hands


4.Half As Much

Would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
Will you think of me today, and do I take your breath away
When I look into the sky I know I'll love you 'till I die
Do you ever feel that way, what can I do to make you stay

How much do you love me
Is it half as much as I know I love you
How much do you love me
Could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
If you don't know like I do then tell me quick
Before I make a fool of myself and of you

Pocket full of pennies and a paper plate that's full of sand
Blow a kiss aimed at your cheek
And dream of you each day this week

How much do you love me
Is it half as much as I know I love you
How much do you love me
Could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
If you don't know like I do then tell me quick
Before I make a fool of myself and you

Is this going nowhere
Do you laugh when I think that you care
Should I believe them when they say you're not there

Would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
Will you think of me today, or do I take your breath away


5.Sixteen Months

Sixteen months just wasn't long enough
To change your mind
But I'm sure you knew that all along
I was much too young
And you were much too far away to think
That I might think about you when you're gone

What did you wear how steep was your climb
What did you have in your pockets at the time
How long did it take how much did you care
What side of the street did they find you waiting there

Sixteen months leaves little to remember even though
I have the photographs to prove that you were there
Now and then I think about the way you might have been
But other times I'm just so angry I don't care

What did you say and who did you tell
What could I have done
That might have saved you from yourself
How did it feel and what went through your mind
What did they do with all the things you left behind


6.Count To Ten

Let's finally stop this endless chase
Take that smile from your face
This isn't funny anymore
I don't know what you're waiting for

So I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten
And I'll never feel that way again

Do a favor to us all
Just go away don't write don't call
This couldn't possibly get worse
If you don't leave then I'll go first

Always someone to take you in
Your weakness proved to be my win
'cause if I'd never known this ache
There might be something left to break
Someday

And when I cry it's not so bad
Compared to all those fights we had
Just don't remind me of that time
When all I wanted was to die

And I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten
And I'll never feel that way again


7.Postal Blue

Special delivery postage due
You've returned me to sender, haven't you
I know better than to fall for you
But you're so much in your postal blue
If I were smart I'd stay away from you
I can't stand you in your postal blue

I know I never cross your mind
I know I'm not really your kind
Misreading signals all the while
Reading too much into your smile

Special delivery postage due
You've returned me to sender, haven't you


8.Pedestal

Driving the same road not much to see
Going toward weather more suited to me
Ending this whole thing by waving my hand
I hope that you don't forget what we planned
For years down the road
When we both grow old
But we don't have time for that now

So you stay here and I'll go on
But I'm leaving this pedestal empty to put you upon

Dates and persimmons are filling the room
Not leaving space for my sorrow and gloom
I'm glad you're not here so don't try to be
I like you just how you are around me
Even though I don't have much time
We don't have to finish this now

So you stay here and I'll go on
But I'll think about us playing house everyday
That I'm gone

You say what she said it sounds just as wrong
Maybe it's best that I didn't stay long
