(I can hear you breathing)
I’ve slipped out of time again
Leaving all of you behind
And I’m free
To return to the place where I already am
And have always been
If I just really looked and allowed myself
To see
The confusion is seducing me warm perfect flowing
Wide his eyes
Summer
Hypnotize they see inside of me
Hot swollen skin want me take me perfect embrace
Black and bloody
Rotten and perfect
The center has moved on and all that’s left is free
Finally
Finally
Everyone seems to be asleep but me
Take me
Into the arms of the lovers
Free
Take me
Into the arms of the lovers
Oh I see you floating there
How could I ever hope to forget
Always rearranging, this is
Those words are a lie a mirror reflecting in a mirror of a lie
A light shines still always
Shadows in every word
Beneath black eaves
Please don’t leave me here
I could stop it
Maybe I could stop it (if I wanted to)
But I’m not the one driving anymore
I know who I am
But I know who I am
Right?
(Please don’t leave me here with them)
Take me
Into the arms of the lovers
Free me
Into the arms of the lovers
Into the arms of the lovers
Please
Into the arms of the loversOutro]
I am free
Into the arms of the lovers

I ain’t no Christian or no born again saint
I ain’t no cowboy or Marxist D.A.
I ain’t no criminal or Reverend Cripple from the right
I am just your average guy, trying to do what’s right
I’m just your average guy, an average guy
I am just an average guy, I’m just your average guy
Average guy, I’m just your average guy
I’m average looking and I’m average inside
I’m an average lover and I live in an average place
You wouldn’t know me if you met me face to face
I’m just your average guy, average guy
Average guy, I’m just an average guy
I worry about money and taxes and such
I worry that my liver’s big and it hurts to the touch
I worry about my health and bowels
And the crime waves in the street
I’m really just your average guy
Trying to stand on his own two feet
I’m just your average guy, I’m just your average guy
I’m just your average guy, average guy
Average looks, average taste, average height
An average waist, average in everything I do
My temperature is 98.2
I’m just your average guy, an average guy, average guy
I’m just an average guy, average guy
I’m just your average guy…average

I’m happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do
It’s everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your…
Love, love is all around me
Everywhere
Love has come to touch my soul
With someone who really cares
No one can deny us
People who once passed me by
Will turn their heads ’round
I’m happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It’s everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love
You
Yes you have always been here
Feeling deep inside
A feeling that I could not see
Or touch, or try to hide
My love is in and around you
I bless the day that I found you
So listen up baby
I’m happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It’s everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love
Love is like a voice in my head
Keeps turning ’round the things that we said
I’m happy just to be with you
And loving you the way I do, yeah
It’s everything I need to know
Just resting in the afterglow of your love
