As You Are
(In This Water #1)
From "The Muse Tree (Demos)"
Julean and the Rai (as Julian Rai)
Copyright 2003 Julian D. Rai (BMI)

VERSE I
With the highway lights making shadows on your face
I looked over at you, as you quickly turned away
The silence was its own mistake.

VERSE II
We landed and we ate beside the car
And then you stood by the waterside, egging me on
I said "I don't have a suit", you said
"Just go as you are...
Go as you are...
Just go as you are ..."

You peeled down to your underwear and bra
Dove into the water, and slipped the others off
Love, our time was a passing one.

Your mother's choice for college, no surprise
Your confident demeanor, a disguise
You've got a thousand expectations
That are shaped like your life
Shake like your life
Shaped like your life...

We were connecting every little star
Then running naked, drying off
Then shivering, back to the car
I think I'd rather leave you
As you are.

We planned to get together later on
I apologize, like I said I couldn't come
And I've looked everywhere, but I don't see you around.
