Buckle Up it's the Law [Dec. 17th, 2009|03:24 pm]
"Buckle Up it's the Law"

I don't know you yet
But one day we'll connect
And with every mistake
That I tend to make
Is another step I take
Till our long overdue embrace

Well this exit off the road called life
Has always been so depressing
But TONIGHT
It's hopeful
Because TONIGHT
You're on your way
And TONIGHT
You'll sweep me off my feet

She's driving just as fast as she can
Waiting one day I can be her man
But until that one day
I'm praying for your safety
So drive safe and buckle up
And please don't miss your exit

Well this exit off the road called life
Has always been so depressing
But TONIGHT
It's hopeful
Because TONIGHT
You're on your way
And TONIGHT
You'll sweep me off my feet

Like the fairy tales my mother read
Like the fairy tales we're writing
Because TONIGHT
You're all I have to hope for
So TONIGHT
Please drive safe and buckle up
But please don't miss your exit
Because I'm still here waiting
Waiting for you to show up
TONIGHT

Well this exit off the road called life
Has always been so depressing
But TONIGHT
It's hopeful
Because TONIGHT
You're on your way
And TONIGHT
You'll sweep me off my feet

Like the fairy tales my mother read
Like the fairy tales we're writing
Because TONIGHT
You're all I have to hope for
So TONIGHT
Please drive safe and buckle up
But please don't miss your exit
Because I'm still here waiting
Waiting for you to show up
TONIGHT

Please drive safe and buckle up
But please don't miss your exit
Because I'm still here waiting
Waiting for you to show up
TONIGHT

14 Songs Wasn't Enough for You, So I Wrote You One More [Dec. 6th, 2009|10:40 pm]
"14 Songs Wasn't Enough for You, So I Wrote You One More"

I said I'd do anything to make you happy
I'd do anything to see you smile
Wanted you to live a happy life
Didn't know it'd be one without me
Turns out the best thing I ever did
Was walk away

It's what I always wanted
To see you happy
It's a shame it meant
Never seeing you again
Maybe next time
I'll be careful what I wish

You're my dream come true
Didn't know that it was
Separation of me and you
But you're happy now
Wish I could be there some how
Just to see you smile

When I said I"d do anything
Didn't ever ever think
It'd be walking away
Leaving your life for good

It's what I always wanted
To see you happy
It's a shame it meant
Never seeing you again
Maybe next time
I'll be careful what I wish

Glad to see you're doing fine
Finally happy with your life
See you got a baby girl
And she's beautiful
Found that one guy
To treat you right
Glad to see you're doing fine

It's what I always wanted
To see you happy
It's a shame it meant
Never seeing you again
Maybe next time
I'll be careful what I wish

I stopped your wrists from bleeding out
Put you back on the right route
You never hit rock bottom
Because I was always there to catch you
Been with you through the hard times
Until the wind changed it's mind
Now you can hear those wind chimes
Signaling for those good times

It's what I always wanted
To see you happy
It's a shame it meant
Never seeing you again
Maybe next time
I'll be careful what I wish

This is the last song I'll ever write you
I hope this finds you well
And when you hear it
You're still doing swell
You're still doing swell

It's what I always wanted
To see you happy
It's a shame it meant
Never seeing you again
Maybe next time
I'll be careful what I wish

This is the last song I'll ever write you
I hope this finds you well
And when you hear it
You're still doing swell
You're still doing swell

I stopped your wrists from bleeding out
Put you back on the right route
You never hit rock bottom
Because I was always there to catch you
Been with you through the hard times
Until the wind changed it's mind
Now you can hear those wind chimes
Signaling for those good times


It's what I always wanted
To see you happy
It's a shame it meant
Never seeing you again
Maybe next time
I'll be careful what I wish
I'll be careful what I wish
I'll be careful what I wish
I just might get it
I just might get it
I just might get it

You're Worth it [Nov. 28th, 2009|10:17 pm]
"You're Worth it"

Dear Cecelia
Don't give up
There's one who loves you
One who cares
Take a look around
Cuz your problems ain't there
So have no fear
With my open embrace
You're always welcome here

You tell me you're worthless
But baby you're worth it
If you could only know
How I'd hate to see you go
How I'd hate to hear goodbye
How I'd hate to see you die

Dear Cecelia
Open your eyes
And dispel the lies
Look in the mirror
See what I see
You're beautiful
And lovely
Just open your eyes

You tell me you're worthless
But baby you're worth it
If you could only know
How I'd hate to see you go
How I'd hate to hear goodbye
How I'd hate to see you die

Dear Cecelia
I wish I could say
I'd never disappoint
But it isn't that way
Cuz I'm just a boy
A stupid dumb boy
That messes up
At every chance he has

You tell me you're worthless
But baby you're worth it
If you could only know
How I'd hate to see you go
How I'd hate to hear goodbye
How I'd hate to see you die

Dear Cecelia
Don't be sad and blue
Cuz the pencil I'm writing with
Says Jesus loves you

You tell me you're worthless
But baby you're worth it
If you could only know
How I'd hate to see you go
How I'd hate to hear goodbye
How I'd hate to see you die

You tell me you're worthless
But baby you're worth it
You tell me you're worthless
But Baby you're worth it

I Love You, John Hughes [Nov. 18th, 2009|01:09 am]
"I Love You, John Hughes"

Let's travel back to the eighties
You can be Molly
I'll be Cusack
You'll be the number one girl
I'll be better
Than those other guys
But most importantly
John Hughes will direct our lives

It'll be perfect
Fall in love
On your sweet sixteen
I could say the right thing
I could say anything
I would think
You're pretty in pink
We'll have our happy ending
Just wait for the kiss
To roll the credits

If only my life was a movie
And not just based off of one
I could find my true love
Searching would be done
But it's not, it can't be
But it's not, it can't be
But it's not, it can't be

I'm just a hopeless romantic
Looking to fall in love with you
Wishing my life was a movie
I'm just a hopeless romantic
Looking to fall in love with you
Wishing my life was a movie

It'll be perfect
Fall in love
On your sweet sixteen
I could say the right thing
I could say anything
I would think
You're pretty in pink
We'll have our happy ending
Just wait for the kiss
To roll the credits

Who's that out your window
You better go check
It's not John Cusack
Just me and my boom box
Throwing my rocks
Waiting for my chance
To fall in love
So answer my call

Who's that out your window
You better go check
It's not John Cusack
Just me and my boom box
Throwing my rocks
Waiting for my chance
To fall in love
So answer my call


It'll be perfect
Fall in love
On your sweet sixteen
I could say the right thing
I could say anything
I would think
You're pretty in pink
We'll have our happy ending
Just wait for the kiss
To roll the credits

Who's that out your window
You better go check
It's not John Cusack
Just me and my boom box
Throwing my rocks
Waiting for my chance
To fall in love
So answer my call

Who's that out your window
You better go check
It's not John Cusack
Just me and my boom box
Throwing my rocks
Waiting for my chance
To fall in love

The Day You Saved My Life [Nov. 11th, 2009|10:02 pm]
"The Day You Saved My Life"

Chances are we should have never met
Yet the stars and planets aligned
I wouldn't have ever ever bet
That you'd be the one to save my life

See I was lost and broken
Had not hope that I could find
One that was even better
Than the one I could not have
Then our paths collided

Well thanks to you
There's a hope for me
If I just wait and see
What he's got for me
There's someone out there
Made just for me
So thank you
For showing me
The hope I needed to see

Thought I knew what perfect was
Thought I knew who perfect was
Till the day that I met you
Realized that I could wait because
I found that perfect was a hoax
I found that perfect was a joke


Well thanks to you
There's a hope for me
If I just wait and see
What he's got for me
There's someone out there
Made just for me
So thank you
For showing me
The hope I needed to see

I don't know if you were hurting
Don't know if you needed my help
But I hope and pray
That knowing me
Could change your life
Like you changed mine


Well thanks to you
There's a hope for me
If I just wait and see
What he's got for me
There's someone out there
Made just for me
So thank you
For showing me
The hope I needed to see


Thought I knew what perfect was
Thought I knew who perfect was
Till the day that I met you
Realized that I could wait because
I found that perfect was a hoax
I found that perfect was a joke


Thought I knew what perfect was
Thought I knew who perfect was
Till the day that I met you
Realized that I could wait because
I found that perfect was a hoax
I found that perfect was a joke

Best Vacation Ever [Oct. 20th, 2009|05:51 pm]
"Best Vacation Ever"

Oh Mom and Dad
Please don't make me go
Oh son it's not that bad
But it's hot as balls in this car
And we just hit traffic
And the lake is still so far
Not how I wanted
To spend my summer this year

What the heck is this
Sleeping in tents
Next to families like us
Ready to combust
Just like us

But hey there's a cute girl
New plan, so understand
From now on I don't know you
And you don't know me
We're so not family

Remember those summer nights
Cold yet oh so nice
Walking hand in hand
And when it comes to an end
We'll write each other letters
Who would have thought
I'd fall in love
On the worst vacation ever

Remember how we met
Fed you some lame joke
Probably asked if you were from
Tennessee
But hey you laughed
Thanks for that

Remember those summer nights
Cold yet oh so nice
Walking hand in hand
And when it comes to an end
We'll write each other letters
Who would have thought
I'd fall in love
On the worst vacation ever

Two days in
Thought I knew you my whole life
You could be the one
Considered taking you home
Making you my wife
Married before High School
Yeah that would rule

Remember those summer nights
Cold yet oh so nice
Walking hand in hand
And when it comes to an end
We'll write each other letters
Who would have thought
I'd fall in love
On the worst vacation ever

Yeah the week was over
And we said goodbye
Promised to write everyday
Yeah that was a lie
Got a hug and a peck on the cheek
What a way to end our awesome week

Remember those summer nights
Cold yet oh so nice
Walking hand in hand
And when it comes to an end
We'll write each other letters
Who would have thought
I'd fall in love
On the best vacation ever
Best vacation ever

Red + Blue ≠ Purple [Oct. 18th, 2009|07:41 pm]
"Red + Blue ≠ Purple"

I've got three things to say before this goes off
One, guys are red
Two, girls are blue
And three, whatever you do
Don't make purple

Let's go

We're gonna dance forever
Keep our bodies moving like they're on fire
Heating up because we got the fever
Just want the chance so I can meet her

Because guys are red
And girls are blue
But please please please
Don't make purple

Let's do this elementary
Three feet between your body and me
Because listen to me honey
I just want to dance tonight

We're gonna dance forever
Keep our bodies moving like they're on fire
Heating up because we got the fever
Just want the chance so I can meet her

Because guys are red
And girls are blue
But please please please
Don't make purple

We're gonna dance forever
Keep our bodies moving like they're on fire
Heating up because we got the fever
Just want the chance so I can meet her

Because guys are red
And girls are blue
But please please please
Don't make purple

Let's do this elementary
Three feet between your body and me
Because listen to me honey
I just want to dance tonight

... or we can just make out if that's cool.

Is this Race Over? [Oct. 8th, 2009|06:39 pm]
"Is this Race Over?"

I never thought there would be a day
Where you didn't want tomorrow to come
But when you're eighty-eight
And you can't walk straight
Every single bone just aches (aches aches)
Just want it to stop

They make it sound so nice
Euthanized
Run back to my youth in stride
18 and ready for the world
They make it sound so nice
Euthanized
Run back to my youth in stride

Drugged up so I can't feel pain
At least not the physical kind
Hopeless like staying dry in the rain
Helpless might as well be blind

They make it sound so nice
Euthanized
Run back to my youth in stride
21 and invincible
They make it sound so nice
Euthanized
Run back to my youth in stride

I hope tomorrow never comes
Pray for it every night
Can't remember my left from right
Just want to fade into the light

They make it sound so nice
Euthanized
Run back to my youth in stride
23 With no cares
They make it sound so nice
Euthanized
Run back to my youth in stride

If I end it all tonight
Can I finally go home
Will God really care
If I take this shortcut
To finish this here race

I never thought there would be a day
Where you didn't want tomorrow to come
But when you're eighty-eight
And you can't walk straight
Every single bone just aches (aches aches)
Just want it to stop

If I end it all tonight
Can I finally go home
Will God really care
If I take this shortcut
To finish this here race

VA4<3RS [Sep. 6th, 2009|03:39 pm]
"VA4<3RS"

They said Virginia's for lovers
Maybe that's why they kicked me out
Because you found a new lover
I found a new home
But one of these days
I'll find one better
And I can go home
Oh I can go home

So tonight
My only guide
My headlights
Driving down 95
Leaving state lines
To find a new home
For my heart

I once knew this girl
And she knew me
We were so cute
Made for TV
But the season's over
And you broke my heart
Now I have to move on
As we grow apart

So tonight
My only guide
My headlights
Driving down 95
Leaving state lines
To find a new home
For my heart

This long and lonely road
Has brought me to Carolina
Set up shop, and call it home
But it won't be the same
Oh it can't be the same
Without you with me
But this is what You've
Turned my life into

So tonight
My only guide
My headlights
Driving down 95
Leaving state lines
To find a new home
For my heart

I'm stuck here
While you stayed there
Because Virginia's
Still for lovers
Just not for me
But for you and him

So tonight
My only guide
My headlights
Driving down 95
Leaving state lines
To find a new home
For my heart

They never told me
Carolina's for lovers
Maybe that's why I'm here
Because she's been just as hurt
Holds the exact same fear
Of dying all alone
Tonight we're going home
Tonight we're going home

They said Virginia's for lovers
Maybe that's why they kicked me out
Because you found a new lover
I found a new home
But one of these days
I'll find one better
And I can go home
Oh I can go home

They never told me
Carolina's for lovers
Maybe that's why I'm here
Because she's been just as hurt
Holds the exact same fear
Of dying all alone
Tonight we're going home
Tonight we're going home

Well they were wrong
Virginia's not for lovers
At least not for me
Not anymore
I learned it's not
Where you are but
Who you're with
That you call home

So tonight
My only guide
My headlights
Driving down 95
Leaving state lines
To find a new home
For my heart

They never told me
Carolina's for lovers
Maybe that's why I'm here
Because she's been just as hurt
Holds the exact same fear
Of dying all alone
Tonight we're going home
Tonight we're going home

If I Knew How to Talk to You, I Wouldn't Have Wrote You This Song [Aug. 29th, 2009|11:22 pm]
"If I Knew How to Talk to You, I Wouldn't Have Wrote You This Song"

I couldn't think of the words to say
I couldn't think of the words to say
I couldn't think of the words to say
I couldn't think of the words to say
So I wrote you this song
To help me move on
Because when I'm with you
Nothing could go wrong
Except a goodbye, so long

Because whenever we depart
I fall to pieces, fall apart
You make me normal
Keep me sane
You make me normal
Not losing my brain
Because whenever we depart
I fall to pieces, fall apart

I wish I could be with you every day
I wish I knew the words to say
In hopes that maybe one day
You'd tell me you feel the same way
I wish I could be with you every day
I wish I knew the words to say
In hopes that maybe one day
You'd tell me you feel the same way

Watching you walk away
Saddest part of my day
I get thoughts that won't go away
Maybe this time you won't come back
They eat at me, and eat at me
Till that next time we meet

I wish I could be with you every day
I wish I knew the words to say
In hopes that maybe one day
You'd tell me you feel the same way
I wish I could be with you every day
I wish I knew the words to say
In hopes that maybe one day
You'd tell me you feel the same way

I couldn't think of the words to say
I couldn't think of the words to say
I couldn't think of the words to say
I couldn't think of the words to say
So I wrote you this letter
To hopefully make things better
What that means, I don't know
But better would be nice
Better would be nice

I wish I could be with you every day
I wish I knew the words to say
In hopes that maybe one day
You'd tell me you feel the same way
I wish I could be with you every day
I wish I knew the words to say
In hopes that maybe one day
You'd tell me you feel the same way

Where's Rachel [Aug. 29th, 2009|11:16 pm]
"Where's Rachel"

Hey Jacob, how'd you do it
Waited fourteen years for Rachel
I know the first seven felt
Like just a few days
What about the last seven
How'd you do it
I'd love to know
Waited seven years so far
With no end in sight
Definitely feels like
More than just a few nights

I've just got one question
If she's worth the waiting
Why's everyone dating
Will I ever find miss right
It's like me vs. Tyson in a fight
I've just got one question
If she's worth the waiting
Why's everyone dating
Will I ever find miss right
It's like me vs. Tyson in a fight

So I'm not Jacob
But could we speed this up
Tired of being hurt
Tired of being alone
When everyone else isn't

I've just got one question
If she's worth the waiting
Why's everyone dating
Will I ever find miss right
It's like me vs. Tyson in a fight
I've just got one question
If she's worth the waiting
Why's everyone dating
Will I ever find miss right
It's like me vs. Tyson in a fight

Could you possibly share your plan
Maybe let me understand
Could you send me my Rachel
So I know what all of this is for
So that these years will seem like days
So that these years will seem like days

I've just got one question
If she's worth the waiting
Why's everyone dating
Will I ever find miss right
It's like me vs. Tyson in a fight
I've just got one question
If she's worth the waiting
Why's everyone dating
Will I ever find miss right
It's like me vs. Tyson in a fight

Could you possibly share your plan
Maybe let me understand
Could you send me my Rachel
So I know what all of this is for
So that these years will seem like days
So that these years will seem like days

Could you possibly share your plan
Maybe let me understand
Could you send me my Rachel
So I know what all of this is for
So that these years will seem like days

I've just got one question

Day Light Saving Time is Gay [Jul. 22nd, 2009|10:43 am]
"Day Light Saving Time is Gay"

You got me staying up
Till the morning comes
You got me staying up
Till the Morning comes
You got me staying up
But you're sleeping in

You got me staying up
Till the morning comes
You got me staying up
Till the Morning comes
You got me staying up
But you're sleeping in

It's funny how the clocks of our hearts work
Yours is set to the west coast sun
While mine's set to the east coast stars
So I'm waking up
While you're going to sleep

As I lie awake
Afraid to dream
Because even in my dreams
You choose him
I guess there's just no hope
If even my mind doesn't believe

It seems like our timings always off
But baby that's my life story
It seems like our timings always off
But baby that's my life story
It seems like our timings always off
But baby that's my life story

As I lie awake
Staring at two stars
Reminded of us
So close together
Yet so far apart
Could we make it work
Get married, become one part

And one day the planets'll align
And so will you and I
Then maybe you won't be so blind
To the affections I'm pouring out
And maybe then you'll find the time
To be with me

As I lie awake
Watching the sun rise
Wonder if you're rising too
Stayed up all night
Thinking of ways to impress you
Now if only you'd wake up
So we can be together (forever)

You got me staying up
Till the morning comes
You got me staying up
Till the Morning comes
You got me staying up
But you're sleeping in

You got me staying up
Till the morning comes
You got me staying up
Till the Morning comes
You got me staying up
But you're sleeping in

The Original Text Message [Jul. 11th, 2009|07:52 pm]
"The Original Text Message"

Oh where have the days gone
When to have fun
All I had to do was log on
You took care of the rest
Connected me to all my friends
Didn't have to see them
Or even know them
Yet could still converse
With anyone in your universe

You were the first text message
Kept me up to date
Gave me my own space
Kept the book from my face
Heck I still don't know
Just what a tweet is
Because Hey I am
Still in love with
A.I.M.

You made me social
Without a social life
I had so many friends
While none at all
Heck you even got me a female
In the game of love
You helped me prevail
I'd call that a sucess

You were the first text message
Kept me up to date
Gave me my own space
Kept the book from my face
Heck I still don't know
Just what a tweet is
Because Hey I am
Still in love with
A.I.M.

But now everyone's moved on
I sign on
But no one's on
Just an away message
From people like me
We just can't let you go
So we put up an away message
So we don't look lame
But we certainly can't give in
to the reality
That you've reached the end
of your run on top
It's just a shame
That you were swapped
Traded in for more advanced
forms of stalking

You were the first text message
Kept me up to date
Gave me my own space
Kept the book from my face
Heck I still don't know
Just what a tweet is
Because Hey I am
Still in love with
A.I.M.

So to thee I bid goodbye
Thanks for the good times
But I no longer need you
It's a sad day but
It's time for you to die
I'll miss you
But it's for the best

You were the first text message
Kept me up to date
Gave me my own space
Kept the book from my face
Heck I still don't know
Just what a tweet is
Because Hey I am
Still in love with
A.I.M.

Because Hey I am

If I Let You Down, Can You Still Pick Me Up [Jul. 7th, 2009|02:05 pm]
"If I Let You Down, Can You Still Pick Me Up"

Dear mother
You made me make a promise
That I thought I'd keep
But as the smoke lingers
On my lips that are
Kissing you goodnight
I can't help but know
That you know
I broke it

With every drag
Of this cigarette
My eyes tear up
Like the smoke in my lungs
Which you first gave life
So I wrote this letter
To say I'm sorry

Do you remember
The day you got the news
That I was growing
Inside of you
The doctors said
You had to quit
To save my life
If only I could
Do the same for you

With every drag
Of this cigarette
My eyes tear up
Like the smoke in my lungs
Which you first gave life
So I wrote this letter
To say I'm sorry

You lied and told me it was
Disgusting
But when I took that first drag
It was nothing of the sort
It was relaxing
Eased my nerves
Took away my worries
But every time since
I can't help but think
How much it must hurt you

Dear baby
Don't be sorry
Lift your head up
I forgive you
In fact I knew from the start
That you'd break my heart
But this wasn't it
Because I still love you
I still love you

With every drag
Of this cigarette
My eyes tear up
Like the smoke in my lungs
Which you first gave life
So I wrote this letter
To say I'm sorry

But I still love you
I still love you

Mass Producing Originality [Jul. 7th, 2009|01:55 pm]
"Mass Producing Originality"

So here's my master plan
I want to be original
The only thing left
Is the execution

So let's go out
And we'll hit up Hot Topic
Buy pants with lots of chains
We'll all wear the same t-shirt
Because we're original

It's a game of originality
The only way to be different
Is to be the same
It's such a shame
How the world is
Mass Producing Originality

So since plan one failed
I got a new idea
I'll try to look like a girl
I can't paint my nails
Wear their jeans
Maybe put on some mascara

It's a game of originality
The only way to be different
Is to be the same
It's such a shame
How the world is
Mass Producing Originality

To top it all off
I'll throw my hair over one eye
To hide the eye I cried Out
Over some girl who tore my heart out

It's a game of originality
The only way to be different
Is to be the same
It's such a shame
How the world is
Mass Producing Originality

It's a game of originality
The only way to be different
Is to be the same
It's such a shame
How the world is
Mass Producing Originality

Probably the Greatest Song Ever Wrote [Jul. 7th, 2009|01:40 pm]
"Probably the Greatest Song Ever Wrote"

So we start it off
Slow and mellow
Because this is the ballad
To help us get all the girls
I'll tell you the sad story
Of how a girl broke my heart
And how I still love her
I'll throw in cheap cliches
Like "You don't know what you got
Till it's Gone"
or "Every rose has it's thorn"

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

Then we'll jump into the bubble gum pop song
Where everything's catchy
And nothing ever goes wrong
Everything's upbeat
We're just trying to make you sway your feet
Then we'll try to get you to sing along
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, La La, La La

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

Then we'll get all depressing
And sing about how I hate my life
Because I'm mad at my parents
We'll talk about spilling my blood
How I'd rather die
Than be away from you
We'll quote Poe just to be edgy
But strugle to not be too heavy

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

Then we'll do a hard rock song
Where we scream on the very last word
We'll say we're pretty heavy
But all the metal kids will make fun of us
And really what's a song without a
Guitar solo

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

Then we'll kick it up a notch
And just start growling the lyrics
Because that'll make us hardcore
And everyone can mosh
To the breakdowns and double base

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

Then we'll kick up the bass
And bust a rap on this place
Because we're so street
That in a rap battle we'd never get beat
Then throw in the hype man
What time is it?
4:30
Is it late?
Naw naw, it's early early

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

Then we'll end the song with some
Old school funk
Just so Cody can bust some crazy Bass line
Now we're looking oh so fine
And we'll run out the time

Then we'll skip right past the chorus
Because it really does nothing for us
We'll go right to the next verse
Because it's what puts the money in our purse

...and that my friends is probably the greatest song ever wrote.

Message from this Grave [Jul. 7th, 2009|01:34 pm]
"Message from this Grave"

Well like fine China
My heart was
So precious, so fragile
Yet I still gave it to you
In hopes you'd never break it
But you broke it
Smashed onto the floor
So I'm sending you one last letter
One last message
From the emotional wreck you left me
Here's what I've got to say

FU n spells fun
We didn't have any
So now we're done
And all I've got left to say is
FU n spells fun
You took that from my life
And now I want to stab you with a knife

Your razor cuts right through my heart
Like it cut right through your viens
I can't even imagine
How you could leave me in so much pain
From my grave I'm sending this

FU n spells fun
We didn't have any
So now we're done
And all I've got left to say is
FU n spells fun
You took that from my life
And now I want to stab you with a knife

You lied right to my face
You're such a disgrace
How could you tell me you loved me
With so much glee
Then turn right around
And kill me, kill me

FU n spells fun
We didn't have any
So now we're done
And all I've got left to say is
FU n spells fun
You took that from my life
And now I want to stab you with a knife

FU n spells fun
We didn't have any
So now we're done
And all I've got left to say is
FU n spells fun
You took that from my life
And now I want to stab you with a knife

FU n spells fun
We didn't have any
So now we're done
And all I've got left to say is
FU n spells fun
You took that from my life
And now I want to stab you with a knife

...but seriously I hope you die.

3 Words [Jul. 7th, 2009|01:24 pm]
This is a fairly new song, as in I've only finished one other song since this one. It's probably my favorite I've ever written, and it's probably the most personal.

"3 Words"

It's only three words
I've said them too much
They have got to have
Lost meaning by now
Yet I still say them
To everyone but you

I've read your story
Believed every word
I know what you did
Died so I may live
But these three words
I just can't give

It's only three words
Just eight letters
They don't mean much to me
But the world to you

I've read your story
Believed every word
I know what you did
Died so I may live
But these three words
I just can't give

I'm sorry if I taste
Lukewarm
Please don't spit me out
It's not that I hate you
I just can't love you
Because of what it'd
Require me to do

And if this song gets out
They'll all condemn me
But I pray that you won't
I pray that you won't

I've read your story
Believed every word
I know what you did
Died so I may live
But these three words
I just can't give

You died for me
Well I'd do the same
For you
You know that it's true
But I just can't say
I love you

And if this song gets out
They'll all condemn me
But I pray that you won't
I pray that you won't

And if this song gets out
They'll all condemn me
But I pray that you won't
I pray that you won't

First True Love [Jul. 7th, 2009|01:16 pm]
This is actually a pretty old song I haven't posted. I hope you enjoy it, and I should be posting all unposted songs today, along with a new one.

"First True Love"

You're the best thing to ever happen to me
You gave me so many memories
And so many good times
And I don't know why
It's taken me this long
To tell you this
But I miss you
I miss you

You stayed up late with me
You were always by my side
You always gave me free stuff
Because you were real nice

You were my first love
And while there have been imitations
There's never been a duplication
Because you're still the best
Above all the rest

You stayed up late with me
You were always by my side
You always gave me free stuff
Because you were real nice

But since you left me
I haven't been the same
I've been lonely
Thinking of you
I haven't known
Exactly what to do

You stayed up late with me
You were always by my side
You always gave me free stuff
Because you were real nice

You're the best thing to ever happen to me
You gave me so many memories
And so many good times
And I don't know why
It's taken me this long
To tell you this
But I miss you
I miss you

I miss your taste
Because you were great
You were always there
When I needed to feed my urge
Because

I still love you Surge

Dreams are Made for Dreaming [Dec. 25th, 2008|01:28 am]

"Dreams are Made for Dreaming"

I'm Sorry I wasn't the knight you were looking for
Well Darling tonight
Wasn't what I wanted either
But I've got to be me
And you'll always be you
You have to know
I would have loved for the night
To end in I love you

Now let's step back
This is Reality
There's no movie screen
Happily Ever-After is just a lie
Cuz I'm no King
But You're not queen
Love is just a dream

Why do we put
So much faith
In the Lie called love
We all want to be loved
But never try to be lovable
It's almost comical
How we jump through hoops
Just to fall flat on our face

Now lets look closer
This is reality
I've got my faults
And you've got yours
But Together we could be
Perfect
If Love's a dream
Then let's fall asleep
Together

Why do we put
So much faith
In the Lie called love
We all want to be loved
But never try to be lovable
It's almost comical
How we jump through hoops
Just to fall flat on our face

No let's hold on
This is reality
In a few small years
You'll be in New York
I'll still be here
You'll have your career
And I'll still be going nowhere
So if Love's a dream
Then we better wake up

Why do we put
So much faith
In the Lie called love
We all want to be loved
But never try to be lovable
It's almost comical
How we jump through hoops
Just to fall flat on our face

Now let's let go
Of Everything
That keeps up apart
I'd risk it all
To hold you in my arms
Tonight
This is reality
Let me tell you this
Love's not a dream
But we can still
Fall asleep together

I'm Sorry I wasn't the knight you were looking for
Well Darling tonight
Wasn't what I wanted either
But I've got to be me
And you'll always be you
You have to know
I would have loved for the night
To end in I love you
