Whites of Their Eyes - written 2-6-20
Hold me, won’t you?
I can see the whites of their eyes
Oh they’re getting close
Oh they’re getting close
Tell me, won’t you?
Everything’s alright
Even though I know that it’s a lie
I know that it’s a lie
ch:
Tell me sweet things now
Before it’s too late now
Or just hide me away
Tell me sweet things now
The way I know you know how
Prepare for disarray
Something wicked’s on the way
Closer, won’t you?
Tell me that we’re fine
Sell it to me
But I can read your mind
I can read your mind
repeat chorus
Oh they’re getting close
Oh they’re getting close
Oh they’re getting close

Alone Together
-written Nov 8, 2019
Right beside, as you’re glowing
You got me here
Nevermind, I’ll get going
I’m lonely here
For you and I to synchronize means
Butterflies when our eyes meet
But when we hide
It resides too deep
I’ve had enough of your devices
When’s it gonna be my turn?
When’s it gonna be my turn?
Always some excuse arises
When’s it gonna be my turn?
When’s it gonna be my turn?
We could be together
Alone, together
For you and I to synchronize means
Butterflies when our eyes meet
But when we hide
It resides too deep
I’ve had enough of passing glances
When’s it gonna be my turn?
When’s it gonna be my turn?
I’m running out of second chances
When’s it gonna be my turn?
When’s it gonna be my turn?
We could be together
You could have your own spot and I’ll have mine
We’ll say hello from time to time
Oh how benign
We could live together
Alone, together

Sounds Like You
I got all your messages along the way
Yeah, that sounds like you
So if you’re calling me, don’t hesitate
Yeah, that sounds like you
I’m dancing in and out of your phase
Yeah, that feels like you
Do you feel me too
So hold on, don’t let go
of a memory
Now at peace
Within yourself you deserve to be
So take my hand, rest your head
Tell me what you need
So relax, clear your head
Pour it into me
So hold on, oh hold on
Hold on
A trip through this old room brings you right back
Yeah, that smells like you
I see the rays are starting to shine through
Yeah, that looks like you
Do you see me too
So hold on, don’t let go
of a memory
Now at peace
Within yourself you deserve to be
So take my hand, rest your head
Tell me what you need
So relax, clear your head
Pour it into me
So hold on, oh hold on
Hold on

A Pleasant Vibe - written 9-14-19
Oh momma, I’ve had another one of those days
I think you put it best
yeah, the clouds above me are grey
Oh momma, I’ve had another one of those days
It grew into a song, I like to handle things that way
But how would you even know?
I don’t intend to hide behind
a smile and a pleasant vibe
Cuz some days are hard to fake
Just keep it on the sunny side
Well I’m sold He broke the mold
But then He made me anyway
Cuz I’m stuck and so messed up
That’s why my songs sound that way
But how would you even know?
Next time I get time I’ll write another one
One with a melody that you can sing with me
But right now I gotta get it out
The way that I know how
All done, and then I let it go
That’s kind of how I grow
Just thought that you ought to know
Oh momma, I see you’ve had another one of those days
Forgot where we just left off
But blame that on the elderly ways
Oh momma, I see you’ve had another one of those days
It grew into a song, and now you’ve got something you can play
Just thought that you ought to know

For The Last Time - written 3-15-20
It started with us some time ago
I hold your hand but you just let it go
I see a change in the way you look at me
You want the man you think I’ll never be
And that was the first time
That you broke my heart
For the last time
As time went on, well, you wandered off
Made mistakes we forgave to get along
You say the lines, oh you wear the ring
But deep down you think you’re settling
And that was the next time
That you broke my heart
For the last time
I think that you ought to know
I’ve had enough now it’s time to go
Don’t want to hear how you’re gonna change
Cuz last in your sleep you said his name
And that’ll be the last time
That you’ll break my heart
For the last time
I mean it, this time

Homeward
Settle in, this might be quite a ride
I know...
Don’t worry it’ll all work out somehow
I’m here by your side
You were strong
And you were by my side
You know
You’d pick up everything and
Find a way, find a way
through it all
If I stay and if you go
I won’t stop you from going home
Here again
Just trying to work out how
Leave it all in my hands
You’re on your way homeward now
You’re going home
Here again
Just trying to work out how
Leave it all in my hands
You’re on your way homeward now
Here again
Just trying to work out how
Leave it all in my hands
You’re on your way homeward now

Waterlogged - 9-24-19
Oh this boat we’re on just won’t set sail
Oh how I’ve tried, to no avail
So you be the hammer
And I’ll be the nail
There’s not much to loose now
Won’t hurt if we fail
So get a hold on
Or get a move on
Go on, get gone
So get a hold on
Or get a move on
Go on, get gone
Oh this boat we’re on has taken on
more than it should hold
We’re waterlogged
So you plug the hole up
And I’ll grab a pail
There’s not much to loose now
Won’t hurt if we fail
So get a hold on
Or get a move on
Go on, get gone
So get a hold on
Or get a move on
Go on, get gone
Get a hold on
Or get a move on
Go on, get gone

Pokey
Wake up, still here
I feel lately that might just be
barely enough
Man up, yes dear
If we drag this out in the light
It’s gonna get rough
Cuz if I’m honest, I’m feeling uneasy
It’s going well but there’s always tomorrow
What if’s and what then’s...
They’re filling up my head again
Will I give in or take a stand now?
New day, new tune
Create a diversion
So I can make my escape
Retrace, or erase
Don’t waste any more time - do it
Or just go away
Cuz if I’m honest, I’m feeling uneasy
It’s going well but there’s always tomorrow
What if’s and what then’s...
They’re filling up my head again
And kicking me into the ground
I need to say I know I can
Will I give in or take a stand now?

Yellow Sun
Yellow sun and a lonely road
Can you point the way home
I’ve been out here for way too long
Can you point the way home
All I want is to move on
All I want is to move on now
Yellow sun and a lonely road
Can you point the way home
Had you told me
That I’d be here someday
You’d have seen my jaw hit the ground
Had you warned me
That I’d be here somehow
You’d have heard me scream
Without a sound
To the moon hiding
Behind some clouds
Can you help me find the ground
I’ve been hanging here
For way too long
Can you help me find the ground
All I want is to move on
All I want is to move on now
Yellow sun and a lonely road
Can you point the way home

I Can’t Help It
- written Aug 2019
I got your warning
Yeah, got your warning but I’m back
I can’t help it
Well, I think I felt it so I hurried right back
I hurried right back
I hurried right back
You won’t keep me, no
You won’t keep me away too long
Cuz you’re a siren
And I’m never tiring of your alluring song
I hurried right back
I hurried right back
I couldn’t quit you if I wanted to
Oh no way
Take it to heart
Because I’m straight up hooked up
On what you got
And I couldn’t stop it if I wanted to
Oh no way
I can’t help it cuz you got me
stop me, I surrender
You’re attractive, yeah
And I’m your captive, but that’s alright
Sometimes it hurts
But for whatever it’s worth
It feels like dynamite
So hurry right back
Hurry right back
I couldn’t quit you if I wanted to
Oh no way
Take it to heart
Because I’m straight up hooked up
On what you got
And I couldn’t stop it if I wanted to
Oh no way
I can’t help it cuz you got me
stop me, I surrender
I surrender

ZigZag - written 9-1-19
Reanimate
Almost arrived
Yeah, now seems the time
Might just sign off
Over and out
No, now’s not the time
Damned time
Zig zags and oh man, the flower
How I’ve spent time mulling it over
And now I see it’s close to the hour
Nowadays my time is devoured
Growing up is something that never ends
Devote my time, I implore
Divide my mind, evermore
So I can evolve
