You should write this down because this is the last time I’ll say it
I’m not a part of you any more, I don’t belong to you anymore
Do you feel ashamed of what you’re running away from?
While the prints are behind your feet, you run your mouth just like you’re next to me
So think it through.
She mailed the post cards to my address, I pictured her wearing that red dress over the Zeppelin t-shirt that I somehow managed to never get back
As I struggled to open the envelope, it turns out that my eyes can develop a scope
I zoomed in on the line that says “I’m leaving, and I’m not coming back.”
And you’re probably thinking I should be sad but….
Thank God that my heart’s in the ground, never once been touched, just safe and sound
Thank God that you’ve got it all wrong, know the back of my head sings the sweetest song
Thank God that you “didn’t love me”, cause honey please know, that I never loved you
I know you will be back in the morning, so just keep in mind that I was ready to end it to.
I’ve got a bone to pick with you, so light your match and let it shine through
Remember the bear that you got me for Valentine’s Day? Well I ripped his head off
As the cotton fell to the floor, I felt much better than I had been before
I felt as if a weight had been lifted off of my back as a matter of fact
And you’re probably thinkin’ I should be scared, no
Is it asking too much to start over again?
I’m not asking too much just asking to pretend that we didn’t loose it all, that it wasn’t the end
Or will I wear my poker face until then

The bitter hand, oh so serene
The background clock, let the soundtrack sing
The remaining days, they ticked so slow
Stop it, rewind, and enjoy the show
As the hourglass dared to fall in love with the grain, you heard my heart stop beating with a final sustain
With doors locked tight, windows secured
The serendipity of life falls to the floor
Take me home, to where I am free, to where I can bleed, to where I believe
So I’ve been told that is my heart is not made of gold, the silver has been sold, the bronze too bitter and cold
To ask me why, such a simple question, but hard to comply
So dance with me sweet, sing me to sleep
Let all the other cares in the world drift away beneath your feet
Let’s dream of those clouds in the sky that are far away and hard to find
Dreams worth fighting for might just come true
That’s when I found you
Staple me up, and stitch me with yarn
Baby blue arms that glow with charm
Hold my hand, I’m too young to understand
Too dumb to take offense, too broken for suspenseful walking lies
With my head on straight now, hear me cry
I will close my eyes to sleep alone
Pull the trigger and watch me go
all night while the fuse burns bright
until the morning light
Watch it simmer, watch it burn

Mr. Wizard

Hey Mr. Wizard, tell me a story, read me some lines I’ve been stuck in this situation a thousand times
So Mr. Wizard, if you could please lend a hand to a lonely broken hearted man
Whose dreams of dreamin’ were coming alive
Whose thoughts of hoping were left undecided
But he keeps dreamin’ and hoping too
To livin’ a life that belongs with you
Flashback to the opening set, the beginning scene, the one I most regret
The lights go dim and as the curtains rise, the women scream while we straighten our ties
And the songs of yesterday have well-passed as I hear the crowd sing “At Long Last”
I said “I’ll be your night as long as you can scream”
I can’t help but think that I’m living the dream
But that’s the problem with this scenario theme, I wake up puzzled with a startling scream, it turns out that this was just all a dream, and Mr. Wizard, that’s what I need
So make it come true
I can’t wait any longer, I thought I was stronger, my brain says I can wait, but my heart says
Make it come true, make it come true, as long as I keep breathing, I’ll keep on leaving my heart-felt feelings for you
Make it come true
Backstage with the boys in the band, those autographs move hand in hand
A speck of green glitter rises up to say that “you’re making me proud son, continue to play”
There’s a mic one, two: check, check, check
Get ready to play for the second set, I spot a stunning girl, and she winks back
So Mr. Wizard, I need this…
As my fogged-up dreams begin to fade, the final sunset has been made
Unless a final phone call can tell me otherwise, the screams will die down while we undo our ties
But from my pocket I hear the slightest ding ding
It turns out that we have another chance to sing
The date is set to fight our chance with chance

Time Goes On

Imagine everything we’ll see, the air is good here, come with me, the weight of my teardrops fragily
As the condensation drips from my drink, it makes me stop, it makes me think, about us together,
the time we ran through the rainy weather
The closer here, the further away, I’ll meet you here again some day
The more I miss you, the more I’ll say
The lovely hours pass and fade, I really thought we had it made, where have these times gone?
Time goes on
We could fight crime, but take our time, we got in trouble, but stayed in line
I could tell it was destiny with your hand in mine
The rusted busted guitar strings splinter, my heart is yours, yes you can enter
Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter

Hide And Seek

I didn’t think I would write this song, until I heard Asher Roth come on, and even though it hurt so bad, I typed this song from my feelings to my notepad
God knows that you’ve got a couple already, but this is yours from me so get ready its heavy
Just remember I didn’t want to write this song, but this is my remembrance of you
So long
It started with scissors, thrown across the room at me, luckily I blocked them so I could watch you laugh so gently
You and your friends would through quarters, right square in my face
You would complain when I did not hug you, and oddly enough this ended with “I need some space”
So long, farewell, It was a good time coming but a long way home
When you said that you fell for me, I thought it was the beginning of a memory
But I guess I spoke to soon, even if the best days of my life were in that June
Please won’t you stay for me?
I guess for now a friend is all I can be
Your best talent was playing hard to get, and when I didn’t play along that is something I regret
Boys would flirt with you like crazy, like your Carmen Electra
You know now that I don’t blame them, I was your varied spectrum
A floaty-like thing that was based in your heart, you were what kept me from falling apart
Now I’m falling apart
When you spoke to me and I could not speak,
I thought of you and I at the mall playing Hide and Seek
We were running through a dark and dense furniture store, we found a couch, sat down and we talked some more
So many things to talk about, yet so little time, the only thing I had on my mind was that you were mine
I didn’t realize that our time was growing thin, we were so compatible, I was so pulled in
Now all I see is that face, that beautiful grin, and you were ready to bring it all to an end
Just remember I didn’t want to write this song, but this is my remembrance of you
So long

They Say
03:23
|

You found salvation in the lord before you left without a explanation
You left my heart in a sorrow state, others underestimate how I feel when you’re gone
They come up to me and
They say I look like you, feel like you, talk like you, even when you’re gone
They say I see like you, act like you, walk like you, even when you’re gone
You’re a spitting image, looking like a familiar ghost, walking with this bad baggage
The people, they come up to me and they speak the words that bring back the memories
You wanted change, but know it will never change
It’s only been one year since I have shed all of those tears
Our lives will never be the same, and they say it’ll be okay
But I know it won’t

San Francisco Dreams
04:15

Remember the time when forever came hand in hand?
Fighting the summer on a train wreck to make amends
Falling apart, looking forward to find some gorilla glue
Singing songs about fortunes and forgottens, that made me and you
You have stolen my heart, the sad thing is you can take it
But I’ll ribbon it up in a box
So don’t you forget these San Francisco Dreams, it’s hard to swallow because it cuts at the seams, light your match and burn all the memories;
And I hope to God that you’re safe in his arms, I won’t forget that charm, the smile that kept me warm, all the summer nights that got me through
And the night I lost you
So read me your poems, make me jealous of your lines
Twiddle with my thumbs, tell me it’s alright
I know you’re far away and lost, but I’m right here at home
Hoping for a sunset to bring you back into my arms
Even though I’ve heard that your Romeo is quite the catch
I won’t forget those San Francisco Dreams
Don’t forget me

Your Name
03:35
|

Can you ever forgive me?
I never thought it would end like this, but I guess that’s okay
You’re acting awful dreamy, your touch is something that I will miss
Not even a kiss
Tell me if it’s you, if it’s me that’s okay
I try to think of something to say
We’re flying up in the sky, flying up in a dream, do you feel my warmth, do you feel anything?
I’d try to come out clean, but that’d be too hard for you
Flying up like a bird, up like a plane, just holding hands and I know it sounds insane
But in my dreams, I know nothing would feel the same
And All I have of you now is your name
So tell me what I did wrong, was it partly you? Are we too young?
Think of all the things that we did right, sleeping all day, staying up all night
We were playing cards, you decided to draw, it was 4 more hours until you would be gone, I decided to keep my game face on
But I could tell by your back through the door, we were done

Rain
04:39
|

And I’ll borrow the famous last words, the poisoned nightingales’ final verse, the stolen glass shards that remind us of the part when we were growing up, not growing old
A cut that ceases to heal, a headache the no longer feels, a tear that drips slow, a boy without a home, strangers wearing kind stripes of gold
So let the rain fall slow, this delicate silence has finally found a home while the rave of the night follows morning
The lights, they sing, why don’t you find all your troubles and put them to sleep with a kiss goodbye, goodnight
But I have tried too hard to fight for our love and then watch it fall apart
In front of my eyes, you’ll see
If you want it like I do, then pray here with me
Just look to the stars and never forget how our stories untold were just stories unsaid
So let’s sing to the sky, raise up our glass, while our times were well spent, our times were too fast
So just grasp my hand, throw it away, drop all of our promises and float into space
But I promise you, I promise you, that I will fight until the end
