Foolish Romance

Water Boiling on the stove top

You said you were coming over

This was your chance to start

Start again

Come in singing “champagne supernova”

Like some 90s rock and roller

Even Liam left the game to start again

Don’t make me the Noel….

Lie awake

With my heart caved in.

Is this just a passing fad

Or are you ready to move in

Laying low

While my hair splits ends

Is this just some foolish romance

or are we destined to be

Destined to be…

Staring at the soda

Lively, losing focus

I’m no better than the drink in my hand

I’m putting myself on warming

Dangerous when I’m lonely

The air is thin need a win

Dropped In my lap

Feather in my cap

Needy but I’m alright

Sleepy I need a light

I’m lonely, wanna ride?

I wanna take you

Lie awake

With my heart caved in.

Is this just a passing fad

Or are you ready to move in

Laying low

While my hair splits ends

Is this just some foolish romance

Or are we destined to be

Something more than friends

Comeback Kid

When he drives out in the great wide open

Taking time to look for anyone 

who’ll hold him tight  

You look for signs and stop at 7-11

Make a plan to change the plan and sever ties

And now you’re feeling 0 for 5

You put the car back into drive

You check the wallet and the tires

What if you make it out alive?

Comeback kid 

Sailing on a redeye 

Comeback kid 

Go the way the crow flies 

Comeback kid

everybody knows what you did

At the bar I made a wild confession

The bottle was the only one who'd listen right

Then I made the call and decided not to call you 

Dropping all the balls

is one thing I can do Right

And now you’re working 9 to 5

And you’re saving on the sly

You’re not a thief you’re just a liar

You know you are the guy

Comeback kid 

Sailing on a redeye 

Comeback kid 

Go the way the crow flies 

Comeback kid

everybody knows what you did

And the pavement screams with tires

You’re such a nervous flier

You’re not a thief you’re not a liar

What if you make it out alive?

Comeback kid 

Sailing on a redeye 

Comeback kid 

Go the way the crow flies 

You’re such a comeback kid

Comeback Kid

Comeback Kid

Come back, kid.

Letter

By the time I get to your room 

My emotions been doing backflips 

And it took more than a yard just a reign them in 

The game isn’t lost if we don’t win 

And you ask why I left

I got stuck in some serious traffic 

Now the map is set and the lines are drawn 

I prayed to God

I didn’t get a response

You know where I am

The break through’s breaking in

I’m feeling….grateful

By the time I get to you

You’ve flipped and turned away

There’s a marquee missing a lightbulb

A starting pitcher and he’s all nerve

You better wait for me

I’m your best remaining company

When the people leave and the crowds all gone

Dancing alone with the house lights on

They all scream for more

But we’re already bored

I’m feeling….grateful

The only difference between 

Scared and scarred is just a letter 

When it’s in print it’s definitely deafening

You can do better, you can do better

By the time I get to you 

I’ve already become irrelevant 

Before you know it they’re reimagining

Your life as a mini series 

And in the

Blink of an eye critics are asking for more 

And the studios say I like that 

Just say the thing that you said before

They all scream for more

But we’re already bored

I’m feeling

I’m healing

I’m screaming.

Grateful. 

What I Got Myself Into

Trying to build a bubble between progress and me 

Trying to figure out how to break out from this dream

And make a new plan 

Better than before

Ta da da

Ta da, ta da

Before I make my entrance

Raised and renewed

And unleash it all upon you 

I stare at my reflection

Cracked and screwed 

And wonder what I’ve got myself into

I'm serous I could learn a thing or two 

From your mindful meditation and all those funky grooves

Bring on the Kombucha and those healing rocks

A salt water enema 

To clean out the clock

Shoot it right up!

This man boy is going mad 

I gotta an MO set for trouble

Put me in the game coach

My jump shot is going through

But I don't what I've gotten myself into

It’s that same old love

It’s that same old love

Towers from from up above

And stares in my direction 

I'm looking for the writing

That elusive silver lining

I'm looking for an excuse to stop that whining

Bad weather is on its way

Keep your eyes peeled for lightning, its frightening

I hate to quote the papers

So I won't right now 

I don't read then anyhow

I stare at the reflection  

Of a guy I knew

Who don’t know what he got himself into

I stare at the reflection 

Of a guy I knew

I wonder what I got myself into

Basement Of No Hope

What a life

You’re up all night

What a day

For a friendly gun fight

You take a man

To the brink of pain

You take a man

And you scramble his brain

Every eyeball

Shooting back at me

You gotta take it

Mr. Unlucky

Rock paper scissors

Last place in the best of three

Rock paper scissors

Might be a conspiracy

Here I sit

In this cement box

Chained inside

With no key and no lock

Ain’t got no shades

But there’s no light to see

No desk to write my

Autobiography

Evil quarry

M-m-making a stand

Just took four fingers

And a sleight of hand

Rock paper scissors

Sent down for eternity

Rock paper scissors

Might be a conspiracy

Rock paper scissors

Rock paper scissors

Rock Paper Scissors

Might be a conspiracy

Rock paper scissors

Rock paper scissors

Rock paper scissors

That game got the best of me

Let The Music Play

Let The Music Play

Take me by the hand and lead me into church

Just to let your preacher preach and sing another verse

I’m gonna wave my hand and sing well it’s a brand new day

Just might raise it to the roof cause i kinda like it this way

Let the music play

Let the music play

Let the music play

Let the people say he really played the part

That’s cause I’m the man with the unbreakable heart

Don’t you settle for a fake that is just okay

Gonna take you on the floor like there is just no other way

Let the music play

Let the music play

Let the music play

Let the music play

Let the music play

Let the music play

So many rules to play

I gotta be on my game

I called you 3 times yesterday

There is just no other way

I know just what the demons say

They say to go all the way

Every move you make is just a perfect little treat

I wanna suck you like a mint cause you are such a wintergreen

I wanna memorize your speech and photograph your face

All I gotta do is keep on up with this pace

Let the music play

Let the music play

Apocalyptic

Save your sympathy for me

I really think i’m doing fine

Look at your own report card

I think you’ve been a bit out of line

And you’re pulling the thread

You’ll be better off dead

It’s a million to one

Keep your hands where i can see ‘em

Liquify your antiquities

And rearrange your petty cash

Don’t have your daily dosage

Better order all you can stash

And we’re all making a dash!

That dude’s lookin’ jacked

It’s a million to one

Keep your hands where i can see em

It’s apocalyptic

There’s a helicopter circling me

Cinematic epidemic

It’s clear as far as I can see

And that’s what’s bothering me

I want some amnesty

It’s a million to one

Keep your hands where i can see em

The Company

I miss all of my shit tonight

I miss those city lights

The mirrored powder room

The heart your sister drew

The sour lemonade

At 50 cents— we overpaid

Most of all, it’s the company

It’s not that check you sent me

Or the way you made me

It’s not the photograph

Tucked away behind a map

It’s not the days you didn’t call

Or the many ways you watched me fall

Most of all, it’s the company

Do do do do do do do

Do do do do do do do

It’s not the look you never give

Or that night we said we were positive

But I can let it be

The river flows in front of me

So I row on aimlessly

Mystified and breaking free

Memories set my heart on fire

When we were kids

To admire

The beautiful banks

The giving trees

The circus freak I seem to be

The razor sharp wit riding me

The anger people rarely see

The trials and hypocrisy

But all I ever really need is a

Hand to hold and a place to be

But most of all, it’s the company

Most of all, I miss the company
