Sometimes
Feelings go away
What you thought
Thought was here to stay
Here one day and then it’s gone
And you’re left trying to be strong
But you can’t help but feel lost
It’s ok
Come with me
Some things
Some things just fall apart
There’s nothing
Nothing we can say
There’s nothing we can say
And I’m sorry I wasn’t straight with you
But what did you expect me to do?
I just…
I just felt lost
I didn’t...
I didn’t mean to hurt you
Sometimes
Feelings go away
What you thought
Thought was here to stay
Some things
Some things just fall apart
There’s nothing
Nothing we can say
There’s nothing we can say
And I can’t fight these feelings that just won’t go away
And I can’t fight these feelings
(I just can’t fight, I just can’t fight
They just won’t go away)

State Of The Union

I think I just woke up
When did things get like this?
I gotta stop getting my news from MTV
And I think a change is something we need
If I don’t get another job
My two cats are gonna starve
And it’s too bad that I can’t feed them
Just with this guitar
The world’s changing around me
I see it spill into the streets
Like the guy who’s on the corner
Who’s trying to feed his kids
My stock just hit three pennies
How am I gonna live?
No pension, no 401k
This economy is stiff
My skin’s gonna melt off, oh oh
If the sun gets any closer
We’re all just dinosaurs waiting for an asteroid
Seems that way to me
And I’ve got age defying cream
You know wrinkles are a sin
My Botox is wearing off
Doc, can you squeeze me in?
I can’t go outside
I can’t breathe the air
As long as I can sit inside
With my air set at 65
I feel silly buying water
Cuz I can’t drink it from my sink
The kid who lives next door…
What’s he supposed to think?
I can eat all I want guaranteed
Cuz there’s bypass surgery
And if I blow it the first time
I’ll just do it again for free
Population boom
I’m the enemy
Don’t get sick with information cancer
Cuz there’s no vaccine
So sing me something catchy
And give it a good hook
Write me something clever
Cuz no one ever reads books
Not everything’s a joke
But it’s a satire at best
Someone save me from myself
Cuz I’m so damn selfish
Turn on the evening news
To see death and poverty
Homeland secure
Unless you count perjury
How long can I fake this smile?
How many times must I walk the same mile?
Sometimes I wish I was alone on a desert isle
But then I can’t check my MySpace

Don't Break

There’s a smile
Let it out
You always were
Such a beautiful girl
But you’re so shy
You don’t even know what you’re worth
Been put down, smashed around for so long
You don’t even know which way is up anymore
And you’re holding on
The best that you can
And it’s been so fucking long
Since you felt it again
So tell me, do I ease your pain?
Do I help you sleep at night?
Am I a blessing or a villain?
Can I be your bottled elixir for a change?
And if you can open up your eyes to the world
It’ll be ok
And I’m right here holding on
Making sure that you don’t break
Don’t break
Don’t break
Don’t break
Don’t break

This Night

How I love the stars, your eyes
The way it makes me feel alive
How I long for you to touch
Me, I want way too much
Who will know
How far we’ll go
You take me by surprise
A secret hidden deep inside
And now we wait for time to pass
While we hope this will last
Trapped inside
This delicate mind
This night, so right
I break down without a sound
Tonight, so bright
I wake up, don’t wake up
Calm the storm that dwells inside
Till we’re safe, don’t have to hide
Don’t know if this is a dream
Can’t help but think that’s how it seems
Now we know
How far we’ll go
This night, so right
I break down without a sound
Tonight, so bright
I wake up, don’t wake up
It’s just a dream
Is this just a dream?
It’s not a dream
Trapped inside
This delicate mind
This night, so right
I break down without a sound
Tonight, so bright
I wake up, wake up

Whole Again

One day we’re gonna get out of this place
And I can tell by the look on your face
That you would love to join me
Take the days and count em out
Till you find out what the fuss is about
Leaving it all behind
Once we’re gone I’m gonna shout it out
1+1 is what life’s all about
Having you here with me
So let’s fall in love like we’re 16 again
Back when things were simple
When things made sense
And I’m searching
For something that’s not there
But I don’t care
And I’m longing for an answer
Do you swear
That you’ll be there?
And I’m finding that there’s nothing
All along
To quote that song
Whole again
My heart’s been so bruised
I’m spinning into
The head lights, once again
And I’ll follow you too
This wound’s still bleeding through
My shirt lines, all again
And show me how to
Nothing’s getting through
The silence coming down
And I’m sick of this town
I’m sick of feeling down
I wanna feel it, all again
So let’s blow this joint like it’s going out of style
It’s not that far, it’s just another mile
Till freedom, once again
And just get in the car and bring all your money
We can start a life, I just need ya, honey
So what do you say, are you in?
Whole again
