lyrics:

i would never leave you there
with the confetti in your hair
you’re prettier than a motorbike
that nobody’s wants to ride
your lights are your eyes
and your seat it mesmerize
new year’s eve won’t come this year
and i’ll never ever ever see you here again
kiss me tonight
it’s only right

play: Nobody Loved Me More Than You Did

lyrics:

Nobody loved me more than you
Nobody loved me more than you
Nobody loved me more than you did

Nobody loved you more than me
Nobody loved you more than me
Nobody loved you more than I did

Nobody painted pictures for me
Nobody painted pictures for me
Nobody painted pictures for me but you

Nobody wrote songs for you
Nobody wrote songs for you
Nobody wrote songs for you but me

I’m prone to head injury
that one went right over me
I’m prone to love sickness
my relationships end in ellipsis…

hoooooooo
you know that i love you
and I wanna find you
you know that i love you
and I wanna find you

You tell me not to pull away
You tell me not to be strange

And you want to sing to me
about the things that I don’t wanna hear
You wanna sing in the strange range (wait!)

And you want to sing about the things
that I don’t wanna hear or deal with

You tell me not to go away
You tell me not to be strange

Now that you’re older
You wonder who will take care of you
You wait by the window
But the only thing rolling past

Are the whores and the grown men on skateboards
Where’s your son, his wife and his little ones?

Now that you’re older, who will take care of you?
Your son? Not your daughter.
It’s me, I’m your sonny boy, I’m the one who cares

Save your sweet for me
Save your suite for me
Not for your family and
Not for your friends
Save those other pieces
Maybe the parts
With the bitter ends
Save your sweet for me
Your suite for me

We’re all adults now
You don’t need your father’s shoulder
We’re all adults now
At this age I thought I’d be older
We’re all adults now
We don’t need our friends and families
We’re all adults now
I just need this sweetness on me now

Save your suite for me

men open their windows
when the details are crucial
a spotlight fraught with reputation
the startling scope of a failed nation

the bull and the bear
and the bull and the bear end
the bull and the bear
end the bare and the bull
the bull end and the barren
the bull and the bear
the bull and the bear end

song title: war paint

written & recorded: 9/9/08

play: War Paint

lyrics:

I’mma wear war paint
From now on I ain’t
Gonna wear nothing but
War paint

To the grocery store
And construction site
The colors on my face
Will be bright, bright, bright

I’mma wear war paint
From now on I ain’t
Gonna wear nothing but
War paint

To the sandy beach
And library
The colors on my face
Will be scary

I’mma wear war paint
From now on I ain’t
Gonna wear nothing but
War paint

song title: Every Bow That Breaks

written and recorded: 8/30/08

play: every bow that breaks

lyrics:

Every bow that breaks, is cracking beneath the weight of tough decisions…

A dirty mind.  I’ve got swimming trash upon the mind.
Won’t you come into, my mind of wishes?
Where nothing is the aim for righteous pilots,
with sights in their eyes, as they say “No rest for the wicked.”
A planet plane comes nearer to, than far away,
and brings with it a chance
that every man and woman’s just a vision.

Every bow that breaks, is cracking beneath the weight of tough decisions…

Girl:
I make a wish in wishing well
And I wish – I wish you well
I do – I do for you

Guy:
You make a wish in your wishing well
And you wish – You wish me welllll

Both:
I’d do anything just for you
Just for anything
I’d do anything
to see you well
