Everythings Graded
Buddy your face tells me a story
It doesnt look so good
Family of 5, you live in a boardroom
Keep the business alive
Bust up, bone up, burned out
Buddy your face tells me a story
Dont worry we wont make judgement today
The day youre graded itll be on everything
Itll be on everything
On Everything
Harrowing tale of love and destruction
Having only regrets
Pick up the tab make me a fortune
That fixes everything
Bust up, bone up, burned out
Harrowing tale of love and destruction
Getting To Nicholas
To the other side we go, it's obvious to me
Time was never on our side, you were never there when I was prepared
Blue, my eyes on you, thinking all that we could do
I, I'm where you used to be, but I'm cleaning up for the future me
Now you're coming at me, you're telling me it's time
Now you're coming at me you're telling me your time has come
Wait, can you wait for me, is that too much to ask of you
Understand this is not for you, I'm afraid that's why I don't hear from
you
Have you had enough, do we need to discuss
So where are you...are you leading me to?
Is it the same destination, 'cause I won't go there with you
Write This Song
I dont know how to right my wrongs
I dont know how to sing a love song
If you know wont you help my out
Im fumbling around trying to figure it out
Holiday season is gearing up again
Last year this time we were still only friends
I remember it well, a shower with wine
Maybe its wrong that shes always on my mind
How does is start, how does it go
Talk about wit or her glow?
Did I tell you shes the one that keeps me up at night?
When shes gone, very gone.
Its 10 to 9 and I hope she remembers
This day in the month of September
So wont somebody help my make this a love song
Ill pay you quarters but you cant take too long
Shes back on Monday and I wanna be there
I wanna make my case in the usual flair
Spin around her hand in my hand
Dance all night as long as we can
Write this song write this song
I need it today so move it along
Write this song write this song
I need it today for when she comes home
Message Received, Zero Distortion
Message received, zero distortion
He knows what youre saying and its breaking his heart
You were married on a sunny day, sun was in everyones way
On a spot in the South Pacific, didnt go myself I dont know
specifics
It doesnt matter I dont need to know myself
It only matters now that you want something else, hell
He only wants you to stay at home, take care of kids in a traditional
role
Make food and answer the phone, thats the way he wants his home
But now is nothing like 1942
You should have hashed it out before you said I do too
So now you understand what you want in a man
It may not be in him, I just hope he understands.
I am not judging him for what he wants
My one suggestion make sure its what you want
F N F
Pictures hanging, cold as if never taken
Of you and us, of you and he and us
Have you cried, have you cried, have you cried, have you cried today
Have you tried, have you tried, have you tried to work out why today
Miles dont explain your distance to me
Are we as far from you?
Do you want to meet halfway
Let go of the fence you hold
The face Ill never recognize
The words that cut so deep inside
The look you share without your eyes
See me in my eyes
My hope to let go
I wish the world to wake to your return
DC & CU
One night has become one year and I'm sure we're not done
We'll work on one more whether night, whether year, weather storm
Are we souls? Mate are we more? Whatever the term I want more of this
It's time to explore how we fit, how we think, are we sure?
Yes I'm sure I don't know how we think but I know this is it
My promise to you - that I have no timetable too
Like you I enjoy where I'm at, there's no rush in moving on
Jack
40 years, feel like Ive already spent in here
Too much traffic in my scene, over-reacting so it seems theyre obscene
Gone on 3, still pursuing the California dream
Its never been me to tell yo uwhat I know, Dont be impressed,
dont let it show, no, no, no
Try try, in fact dictated by the Holy Ghost
Bye bye, wed love to have you, love to have you back
Make a base. Stock it full of inherited grace
Planning pages of what to say, broken words and broken ways to say run
your own race
Gone on 3. Wherever you go keep your feet on the street
Listen closely to the horn and sax, where you going you dont need
a map anyway
A Case Against Cloning
Shes the one shes the way I wouldnt be better off alone
Id be better off if shed always be around
My true companion in this world is waking up next to me
Im waking up everyday with a smile upon my face
Hers eyes are shut, she lies sleeping I hope the world that she
is dreaming
Of the world that she and I can create under the sky
Its autobio, biographic, shes well done and she fantastic
Neat, she is good, shell be your best friend if she could
Theres only one of her
And I wouldnt want it any other way
Wheres the bridge nah, I dont need it, theres
just 1 message here so read it
Shes the one shes the way, Ill walk beside her all the
way
Please dont tell me Im not trying, if you insist then your
are lying
We havent had any fights, then again, thats just alright
Dead Aim
Betty worked at a hardware store, neighborhood shop, neighborhood girl
Skipped school, went away to play, carefully let life slip away
Dead aim as a high school girl, everyone thought shed rule the world
Didnt matter what they said about her, her choice was to walk this
world
Betty made to the high school dance never giving the boys a chance
All the way to Tennessee, paying her way musically
Dead aim as a high school girl, everyone thought shed rule the world
Didnt matter what they said about her, her choice was to walk this
world
He moved on had a life of his own, but every now and then hed go
home
Hed see Bettys family, reminding him that it shouldve
been he
Dead aim as a high school girl, everyone thought shed rule the world
Didnt matter what they said about her, her choice was to walk this
world
He told himself over and over again
Dont spend time thinking what could have been
Make the one the one youre with
Dont spend time thinking what could been
Cranky Pants
You came home from work and you didnt want to talk
I said baby take your cranky pants off
Dont come in the bedroom dont even knock
Until you take your cranky pants off
Take them off, leave them on the floor
I dont even know what you got them for
Probably on sale, hanging on a rack
But Im telling you now, take your cranky pants back
45 minutes with a frown on your face
45 minutes of you like thats a waste
Wheres your smile, did you leave it at work?
Or did it go away cause your cranky pants hurt?
You got pretty legs you got pretty thighs
You got pretty calfs and a georgeous smile
Dont cover em up, cmon lets talk
How can we get those cranky pants off?
My Wasted
Fortune is what you bestow upon me
But now it doesnt mean a thing
Case in point, take your diary
Youve decided to search somewhere else for a ring
Step forward step, step away from the mess
Maybe youll see the life there
That you determined wasnt meant for success
That I thought we had, that I thought we shared
Dont think that my wasted time is all Im trying to forget
Let me try again I dont trust my head
My dissappointing self has failed me again
I hope the truth is far far from what Ive said
Cause you and I have so much that needs to be said
We stayed up late and had a goal
Called in sick with a cold
I guess I figure what youll do
Leads me to sing to you
Did You Run
Merchant services called today, want to know where you are at
I told them that I didnt know
That you were hiding out in the back - suppose you didnt know
that I knew about you
They told me what youd done
Did you do it? Did you run?
You are breaking off a little piece of me everytime you die
A piece on the inside
And you are showing me what it would mean to be like you
Is that what you wanna do?
Its a long way up, but Ill be there
Running in circles to let you know I care
A voice in side my head is telling me to stay away from you
Thats not what I want to do
Cause I think seeing you the way you are would benefit me too
The good ways about you
Tales From The Sketch Lot
His lungs were full his face was a frown
It was stuck that way, or so it seemed anyhow
He said hed just come back from a long vacation
I asked him where hed been, clearly not thinking he was gone
He talked about life, before he went in
And he talked about fights, revenge, and what happened
They came at him first was it L, was it M?
Then a smile came on his face hed struck back at them back
at them
Well thats no way to get, ahead
A cooler head would have stayed, out of it
He thought me a cop with no disrespect
I said I was not, nodding my head
Thinking to myself what kind of life could his have been
What puts you away for 22 years in the pen, in the pen
My lungs are full singing to myself
I hope I can learn from somebody else
Who gave you the knife to take the life from someone else?
Who gave you the right to take the life from someone else?
Eee-uh
Have you ever seen the way the North Pole looks on Christmas Day
I know I want to see that with you
Have you ever seen the sun set itself in Sun City wtih someone
I know I want to see that with you
I want to hear I want to see I want experience for me but only if it's
with you too
There isn't much I would not touch there's not a walk I would not strut
Only to walk to you
What do you think the moon is like in Marrakesh on a starry night
I know I want to find out with you
How long do you think it takes to sail 27 feet across the Cape Cod Bay
I know I want to find out with you
What's the chance I'm insane
What is it that I really mean
I know, I know, I want to be there with you
