Grow Up!
I was hoping you’d still remember
End of summer, chill of September
Waking up next to you in the morning
Autumn came early gave us now warning
Lost my job, no money in my pockets
You pawned your ring, five bucks is all it got us
Singing on the streets for tips and change
Playing Free Bird on only five strings
Top Ramen breakfast, lunch and dinner
Decided to go south for the winter
Called home to borrow some cash
Sent it on all cheap wine and a little bit of grass
We needed nothing to believe in
All we owned was our freedom
All we had was one another
Should’ve followed that summer sun for forever
I can still see you standing by the ocean
Smell of the sea and suntan lotion
We watched the sun fall into the sea
Sky turned golden over you and me
Everyday felt like a weekend
We had no plans so we’d always sleep in
Friends said grow up before it’s to late
Get yourself a mortgage and a job you hate
Went surfing, drank ourselves some beer
Caught dinner off the end of the pier
We cooked it up on a big bonfire
Sang Beatle songs and got a little higher
We needed nothing to believe in
All we owned was our freedom
All we had was one another
Should’ve followed that summer sun for forever
Hard Headed, Soft Hearted
We were hard headed, soft hearted
So young young and wild when we got started
What is, is meant to be
We were searching for our destiny
Drank to much——We were living to loud
Pissing off the girls who acted to proud
Making up songs to get-um to dance
Pledging our love to get in their pants
(We were) Young and restless, wild and free
Laughing to hide our insecurities
(We were) outlaws, pirates at sea
Lonely dreamers, you and me
You and me
We swore we’d alway ride together
We wore our souls, tough as leather
Where the road ends, who the hell knows
Chasing that horizon, me and my bro
Flying our colors, Riding the wind,
Got your back my brother, till the bitter end
Open that throttle, turn the radio up
Hide the liquor and women, cause we don’t give a ****
(We once were) Young and restless, wild and free
Laughing to hide insecurities
(We were) outlaws, pirates at sea
Lonely dreamers, you and me
Talk Better That Way
You just lie there
Like there’s nothing left to say
Sometimes I think
You talk better that way
You Can’t Kill A Man, When He’s Already Dead
Penueta’s a village in a Mexican Valley
Across the river from the Fedrales
Where the rain does not fall and that land it is dry
And the crops do not grow and the farmers they cry
The Gringos they come with their money and cars
and bargain with peasants while they smoke their cigars
Acedro says someday I’ll swim that big river
And send back the money to my mother and sisters
His father he died when he was still small
The smell of Tequila is all he recalls
When he asked his mother all she said
Is you can’t kill a man when he’s already dead
AAAAAA HHHHH EEEEEEEE
Well, all he took was the shirt on his back
The river was swift and the night it was black
The search lights they turned the land to a stage
Where the actors are strong and the performance is brave
Acedro was caught and put behind bars
The nights they pass slow when you can’t see the stars
Something it broke, deep down inside
The shame he felt he could not hide
When the news found his mother all she said
Is you can’t kill a man when he’s already dead
AAAAAA HHHHH EEEEE
Lets Fall In Love For A Minute
Stars burn out
Rivers run dry
People turn around
Without saying goodbye
Thunder rolls
Lightning strikes
I’ll be your north star
You’ll be my guiding light
People say they love you, and then forget
Let’s fall in love, if only for a minute
Time goes by
Nothing seems to last
Tomorrow never comes
There’s no future, living in the past
Clouds shed tears
Mountains fall to their knees
If the world stops spinning
I’d still need you here next to me
People say they love you, and then forget
Let’s fall in love, if only for a minute
Where No Ones Been
Where No Ones Been
When nothing seems to matter
And no one seems to care
Love leaves no trace
Autumn unfolds, naked and bare
What was it you said
As you turned and looked away
Come with me
Before we fall, and time fades away
Empty rooms
Empty space
No matter where I go
I always feel out of place
I know your scent
I know your skin
I know your touch
In those secret places where no one’s ever been
I swear I can hear your heart
I can taste your breath
If you’d only let me
I’d find you again between this life and death
Wherever you’d go
I’d follow you down
Through darkest of streets
Of the loneliest of deserted towns
Are you broken like me
Black and blue, painted sad
Letting go of all those little things
We could of had
I know your scent
I know your skin
I know your touch
In secret places where no one’s ever been
Something
She was crying, crying so very hard, and it almost sounded the same as hysterical laughter——It was a sound steeped in deep emotions. Emotions are strange and uncontrollable but never wasted. She had the fading foundation of a woman who in her younger years was pretty, No, not pretty—-She had once been beautiful. She’s my Sad Autumn girl.
Getting older is rough, even more so for a woman. Losing ones attractiveness is a cruel trick of time. There’s no punch line, just laughter and tears——and we all live somewhere between the two?
Kindness is more attractive than beauty
right there and then
I wanted to change my life
We all want to
We are all
Afraid to live
Afraid to die
some days leave us feeling like forever
Somedays will never be forgotten
somedays show us what we’re made of
It would take all my strength
To beat back the darkness
When did it get to be so hard
Maybe nothing and no one changes
Or, maybe it’s only me who changes
I don’t really know anyone
Anymore
And no one knows me
I prefer it this way
I wanna figure it out
On my won
I miss everyone
Everything hurts
Nothings easy anymore
How do I carry on
I just want something
Something to hold on too
But something is so hard to find
I’m lost in the wonder of it all
and it makes me cry and laugh
living somewhere between the two
