Shitty Love Songs

I’ve tried to change my perspective
And let things go a little more lately
Just to give myself a break
In hopes I find I was trying too hard
The world’s too fucked for me to continue on the way that I’ve been going
Maybe some day I’ll build that masterpiece for all to see
I’ve got plans, understand in time I need to be going
But for now I’ll just take it easy
Write a few shitty love songs
That I have no attachment to
And while you’re dancing there I’ll try to reconnect my senses
The world’s too fucked for me to continue on the way that I’ve been going
Maybe some day I’ll smile to sing to an open sea
I’ve got plans, understand in time I need to be going
But for now I’ll just take it easy

Feels Right

I’ve dreamed of this a long time
And now it finally feels right
Leaving home for a new life
And your tears hit the floor
As if you expected more
From some kid, no I’m just a fool
Don’t you see?
Or are you too?
Now I feel it in my bones
This has always been my home
Though I’ve hardly arrived
"Come in and you can put your things inside"
"If you want,” she said, “take your time”
"Whatever feels right"
Doesn’t everyone lie?
I feel God by my side
No I really don’t think these things
Forgive me when I don’t say what I mean
It’s just I need to hole up and spend some time
Alone, with my sentimental side
Try to find that kid in me
Oh, but will I recognize him when I see?
Oh, now I feel it in my bones
This has always been my home
Though I’ve hardly arrived
"Come on and you can put your things inside”
“If you want,” she said, “take your time”
“Whatever feels right”
And oh this is nothing to see
I’m just repeating and spiraling
No, it’s nothing to see
And oh that’s just what I mean
"You’ve had your time you see”
That’s what she told me
And oh, now I feel it in my bones
This has always been my home
Though I’ve hardly arrived
“Come on and you can put your things inside”
I will and I’ll take my time
To make sure that it feels right

Watch me as I run to the door
Am I faster than I was before?
And can I jump higher
If you don’t hold me to the floor?
And can I see a little clearer now?
Every leaf on the tree defined?
Each line needs to be bolder
You struggle to be fine
I feel it coming on
I feel it come alive
I feel it in my bones to the day I die
Oh and I see what’s going on and it’s not right
When everything is wrong you won’t fight
Watch me as I swim from the shore
I like the feeling more and more
But there’s nothing here that really sings
Nothing that could harm me
Did I go a little too far out?
When I turn around I see no lighthouse burning green
And I wonder who this is all for
Now I feel it coming on
I feel it come alive
I feel it in my bones to the day I die
Oh and I see what’s going on and it’s not right
When everything is wrong you won’t fight
Depleted now I look for more
But no it’s all been spoken for
And on high I can hear them sing
Low the sounds are ending
I let go and these things subside
And while falling it’s all back right where I dreamed
And I see home, it’s calling
Now I feel it coming on
I feel it come alive
I feel it in my bones to the day I die
Oh and I see what’s going on and it’s not right
When everything is wrong you won’t fight

Lay Out in the Sun

Don’t you wanna lay out in the sun?
And get away from everyone?
You wake, you eat, you work, go home and repeat
Oh don’t you wanna lay out in the sun?
Is this just some trick you pulled for fun?
I woke up in a room alone
The note says “Are you coming,” but surely you’re not gone
And there on the bed you left a gun
Oh don’t you want to lay out in the sun?
And forget the things you left undone
You see, you think, don’t act, regret, and repeat
Is it too late too late to lay out in the sun?

A Goodbye

Have you got the blues?
Marie says I do
Time will help ease your pains
And nothing is done
And everyone is having fun
And everyone has something they’re hiding
What about a day alone?
Does that sound nice?
Twenty four hours of joy, here I come
No one is looking
And everyone is having fun
And everyone has something they’re hiding
What’s there left to do?
There’s nothing left to find
Everyone has there own
This is a goodbye
And everyone is having fun
And everyone has something they’re hiding
