Don't make me choose.

The rain fell hard on the roofs that day
You telephone from far away
I see the ocean from my room
All I could say was "Are you coming home soon?"

He would call late night, to wake me up so he could sing me to sleep again.

I always liked him better from another time zone.

The static whisper in my ear
But in a moment your voice was clear
"I need some time," you said to me
That's when I knew you were gonna make me lonely.

"Kathy, I love you."

The words came as a surprise, enough to make me pause at the apartment's entrance but not turn around. I took an impatient breath, and without a word, walked out the door.

You're gonna make me wish for the time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away.

The wind whipped my hair into knots as it swirled about the pier, one hand in his and the other trying in vain to tame the tangling strands. We barely spoke a word to each other that afternoon, and never before had the silence said so much.

I walk awhile before I sleep, count the secrets that I keep
I hope for more, I know for sure I fall apart before I weep
I disconnect the telephone, 'cause I can choose to be alone
I'll get more done, I'll have some fun, pretend you're not the only one.

"What do you want from me?"

"I just want you in my life."

And I'm never gonna wish for the time right before I was born
When every living breath was another new dawn
Like the time I was 5 at the top of Peak Hill
And the wind almost took me away.

I am in love with "On Peak Hill" by a band called Stars.
