The Drive

I look ahead, and I see a dead end
Should I stop now, or try to reach the edge 
Words are said, feelings still hide
Ready to fall, but am I ready to dive
Maybe the fall will be my friend 

I look ahead, and I see a dead end
Should I stop now, or try to reach the edge
Maybe the drive will be my friend
Maybe the drive will be my friend 

Because I don’t have to wait, until I die
I can be happy now
I can be happy now

Grandparents / Grandparents (Tape Song)

I never wondered if there was a point
Until I realized there is none
Now I ask myself everyday
How can I make my mind come undone

I was a child, do you remember?
I had faith, do you remember?
Louis and Mary, I would remember
But they are already gone

I never thought about my name
Until the day my name passed down
Now I wonder everyday
Will I know my name when the angels come

I was a man, will you remember?
I lost faith, will you remember?
I would stay alive if I could only remember
But I’m already gone
I’m already gone

Twice Told Tale

Everyone is laughing at his tears
Mostly filled with alcohol
A curse to being human

But it’s not “captain jack” he’s singing
We don’t need to hear the goodbye
We’re already forced to agree

But to agree doesn’t mean to move
Cause I am stuck standing still
Finally ready to enjoy what has happened here

It will never be this good again
It will never be this good again
I guess I should be leaving

All good moments are wasted (never be this good again)
All good moments are wasted (never be this good again)
I guess I should be happy
I guess I should be happy

In A Walking Cast

Is it too soon to say hello?
Or to ask where we’ll go?
Things don’t come so easy to me
In fact, they never seem to come at all

Is it too late to think someday?
How strange to get my way
Did I finally get lucky
Or will you be my next mistake

See I’ll stand on my feet
Even though you knock me down
I won’t feel defeat

I’ve wasted so much time
Just dreaming of beautiful girls
Even with all that time
My dreams never came close to you

chorus

Is it too late to think someday?
How strange it would be to get my way

chorus

Is it too soon to say hello?
Is it too soon to say hello?

Are You In Heaven? (for Woody)

And I wonder what’s left to do
With any work or troubles holding you
Are you happy to be so free?
Do you think about your life?
Do you think about me?

There is nothing else I want to do,
But wake up tomorrow in heaven with you

And I wonder what you’re doing right now
Are you somewhere pretty or just under ground
Still have your frame inside my home
I still sing your words, can’t find my own

There is nothing else I want to do,
But wake up tomorrow in heaven with you

Sometimes I cry when I think of today
And how it’s the same as every yesterday
We kill each other until the world kills us
Hands of justice comes down from above

There is nothing to see me through,
I want to wake up tomorrow in heaven with you
There is nothing I want to do,
But wake up tomorrow in heaven with you

It’s Your Fault (for trying to love me)

You never really understood, who I was
But you tried to love me, just because
The strange thing about love is how empty it makes me feel
But cornered together, I was always real

And I am sorry that I never said, “I love you”
I never showed you thanks

I’m not asking, for another chance
We needed to say goodbye, to our romance
But the strange thing about love is how it makes me hate myself
And I don’t know if I’ll ever breathe again

And I am sorry that I never said, “I love you”
I never showed you thanks
And I am sorry that your heart is forever wasted
I will never breathe again

I Want The Moon (pt 1)

And you were just a firecracker
Up in smoke but so beautiful while you lasted
And I took a hold on hope but then kept hold way too long

Maybe tonight if she don’t mind at all
Maybe tonight she won’t mind
And I hope you’ll remember the words I said
Because I won’t get the chance again

I – I know amazing

I Want The Moon (pt 2)

Woke up this morning to my basement soaked deep
There’s always something keeping me out of reach
Taking chances when hopes are false
A walk to Busker’s reminds me what was lost

So now today until I die
My life will always carry a lie
Because when I marry and promise to be true
I will still be thinking of you

I will still be thinking, of you

Every Song Will Die

God gave me a gift
One I lose as I live
God gave me a song
One I can barely sing

But the melody is so sweet
The hook sets me free
Will it stop cold or fade away?
No one’s song can stay and play

God gave me a gift
He gave me life
God gave me a gift

He gave me a song
