"Lock and Key" and smelling of rocks.

"Needing was so easy: it came naturally, like breathing. Being needed by someone else, though, that was the hard part. But as with giving help and accepting it, we had to do both to be made complete— like links overlapping to form a chain, or a lock finding the right key." --page 401

Hello, hello.

Let me pretend I've known you forever. 

The ending doesn't matter any more,

It's the beginning that made us

Who we were, and who we are. 

Hello, hello?

Tomorrow gains its clear appearance

Can you see it is a mirror to today,

I can see the future backwards

Hindsight is so clear to me,

Yeah, you're all out of focus

You don't even notice. 

Uh oh, my mouth just opened,

These thoughts have just become spoken

Way too fast, they come out

Way too fast, but it's truth without a single doubt.

Uh oh, I've gone and cracked myself

Open wide, though I'm nervous

It's too late, now you're inside 

Of me

I thought I was locked, 

But now you've got my key. 

Hello, hello.

I wish I could paint you this picture

Show you life as through my eyes

If you could only understand

That I understand

Then maybe you wouldn't act so surprised.

Hello, hello?

I've emptied out my cluttered past and

I can't seem to get quite past that

Maybe this will take more time that I thought

Everything I have to offer, I've already brought.

Uh oh, my mouth just opened

These thoughts have just become spoken

Way too fast, they come out

Way too fast, but it's truth without a single doubt

Uh oh, I've gone and cracked myself 

Open wide, though I'm nervous

It's too late, I have to swallow my pride,

You see?

I thought I was locked

But now you've got my key.

So many closed doors and closed minds

If I could leave it all behind

In an instant, in only a flash,

Could I throw away the key

To the door of my past?
