Not About You

She wrote me letters, asking to state her case
Better than trying to say it to my face
She asked for forgiveness
Wanting to move on
She tried to blame me
What went wrong
When did it end, it just began, alone again, losing a friend, holding it in till I can’t breathe
The walls around me are closing in
I can’t see
There goes the day, she ran away, why won’t she stay, nothings ok, what can I say this can’t be right
Her waters feel like they’re drowning me
Someone shed some light
Fooled by her sympathy
I tried to hold on
Worn by her apathy
I’m just not that strong
She made me a table
Full of lies and deceit
She promised forever
Now her work is complete
She stood like still waters
My heart held in her hand
She squeezed till she slaughtered
All I am
When did it end, it just began, alone again, losing a friend, holding it in till I can’t breathe
The walls around me are closing in
I can’t see
There goes the day, she ran away, why won’t she stay, nothings ok, what can I say this can’t be right
Her waters feel like they’re drowning me
Someone shed some light

Ordinary Guy

You think that I can do no wrong
You haven’t known me very long
Do I look Superman
How can I make you understand
Maybe at first glance you might think that I’m extraordinary
Give it one more chance you will find that I’m an ordinary guy
Your look at me is so intense
As if my words made little sense
Do you think things I touch turn gold
Reality will leave you cold
One day you will see that I’m really not extraordinary
Baby its just me not your rose colored eyes
Give me one more chance I will lower all your expectations
Cause baby I’m an ordinary guy
One day you will see that I’m really not extraordinary
Baby its just me not your rose colored eyes
All the things you’ve heard are probably just exaggerations
And even things you’ve seen are born from your imagination
Cause one day you will learn that this was just infatuation
Cause baby I’m an ordinary guy
Give me one more chance I will lower all your expectations
And then at second glance you will see its just my adaptations
Like many before me, I’m the worst part of my generation

House of Cards
03:48
|

Hiding away in your paper walls
You’re unaware but one day you’ll fall
Don’t act surprised, when you open your eyes
Huffing and puffing with your last breath
You blew till you were through and there was nothing left
You reached for the sky with no where to land
You built it too high and played your last hand
Your big deal almost dealt yourself out
Playing in your house of cards
Once in a while you get to reflect
How your great fall almost broke your neck
But you never cared, you weren’t even scared
You pulled your hand and played again like it’s a game
But don’t you know that in the end its all the same
You reach for the sky with no where to land
You build it too high and you play your last hand
You big deal won’t you deal yourself out
Playing in your house of cards

Wouldn't You Know
04:01

Here we are at the end of the world as you know it
Nothing has changed, its all insane
At one time we lived to groom and grow it
Everything’s changed its gone away
For all time and space and life is all over
Wouldn’t you know we could live
Everyday you taste and breathe just feel it
Cherish that time, Both yours and mine
Everyday that you love grab a hand and seal it
Let your love grow into life
For our time our space our life is all over
Wouldn’t you know we could love
Try and find the peace in your mind
And when you do just press rewind
For one day, for always
Here we are at the start of our world can you feel me
Everything’s changed, its not the same

When? Where?
03:38
|

You fell into my world
And then you fell again
Then you became my girl
And my best friend
Who could’ve known that little spark in our class
Would begin something that would always last
Look where we are look where we’ve been
We finally went and got this thing done
Tied at the heart always best friends
Just like the kids in Moonrise Kingdom
Light of my life
Pumped through my veins
You’ve been my love since 7th grade
It started when I asked “When?”
And you asked “Where?”
We took our different paths
But we were never done
We had to face the past
And overcome
I didn’t think that I could survive the lightning
Like moments in both our lives it was quite frightening
Look where we are look where we’ve been
We finally went and got this thing done
Tied at the heart always best friends
Just like the kids in Moonrise Kingdom
Light of my life
Pumped through my veins
You’ve been my love since 7th grade
It started when I asked “When?”
And you asked “Where?”
Little girl says “You’ve got lightening in you.”
I just smile and say that “its ok”
“It will still be in me tomorrow
So meet me in the field. Let’s run away!”

Fall to Pieces
04:27
|
|||
I’ve been waiting for you so long
Something so good so right so strong
We both knew before we met
Lots of mistakes Lots of regret
It can’t be that way again
If we are to make it
Now here we stand your hand in my hand
How did you ever find me
Whenever you’re here it becomes clear
You are the strength that binds me
But when you’re gone
And I’m alone
I fall
I fall
I fall to pieces
So much water under the bridge
Many damaged relationships
We never knew what we could have
We only knew what made us bad
It can’t be that way again
If we are to make it
Now here we stand your hand in my hand
How did you ever find me
Whenever you’re here it becomes clear
You are the strength that binds me
But when you’re gone
And I’m alone
I fall
I fall
I fall to pieces
I fall
I fall
I fall to pieces

By Morning
03:56
|

I know exactly what you’re thinking
What I don’t know is what is on your mind
And since the both of us have been drinking
I’m probably better off to leave this one behind
If you’ll remind me once again just why I’m here I’ll probably be gone by the morning
If you don’t know that is ok cause I don’t care because I will be gone tomorrow
We knew that this was temporary
Another sullied sad affair
Another stupid situation
I don’t know, I ain’t all here
If you’ll remind me why I stayed this long I promise that I will be gone by morning
And if I leave something of mine behind I promise it will be alright, just throw it away
And if you try to follow me I probably will act like I don’t even know you
But I leave right now in all reality I’ll probably be back here by morning
Cause I’ll be back by morning (dual octave ending solo vocal ha)

Walking On The Moon
02:49
|
|||
I never meant to say goodbye
I never meant to make you cry
I only wanted to break away
To leave these worldly things behind
Spread my wings and began to fly
I only wanted to leave this place
And surf the waves of another shore
And finally find what I was looking for
I only fear that I left too soon
To blast off to another world
I’m walking on the moon
I never meant to walk away
With you around I would gladly stay
The rock that calls me
Calls me home
Its time to spread my wings and fly
Surf the waves in a different sky
If you would join me in this place
Step right in to another land
Come on in I will take your hand
I hope that you will join me soon
And live our lives in another world
Please join me on the moon

Drift Away
06:03

Once upon a time you loved me
Twice you tried to take it from me
Is the third time really a charm oh no
No one said love lasts forever
Go on then, we’re both off better
Now’s the time there’s no foul no harm, go on
If you’re feeling angry or sad
Things are really not all that bad
When life seems to go wrong
Don’t you worry it will be ok
Life will keep moving on
If you close your eyes and drift away
There’s no need to keep on calling
After all you’re only stalling
Is it really worth all that pain, no way
Masterminds can understand it
Even fools can comprehend it
So why won’t this connect in your brain
Why do you keep dishing out more?
Are you trying to even the score?
When life seems to go wrong
Don’t you worry it will be ok
Life will keep moving on
If you close your eyes and drift away
This doesn’t have to be hard
There’s nothing here to mend
Though you’re holding the cards
It’s time to meet the bitter end
When life seems to go wrong
Don’t you worry it will be ok
Life will keep moving on
If you close your eyes and drift away
