Rant and Rave

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

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
