COMPETITION (Winter 2005)
Competition
never was my strong point,
so just listen
to what I've got to say.
Cause I know and you know that
You and me could be something better,
but there's gotta be a better way.

I'm not looking to break up any weddings,
I'm just betting that the two of you won't stay.
'Cause I know and you know that
you and me just look good together,
but there's gotta be a better way.

I know we're just in the beginning,
but it's been feeling like the end.
I never had much luck at winning,
but I can't stand to lose again.

(Woooo)
You've got me now,
(Woooo)
you've got me now.

Hesitation's
been leading this to failure.
Should I be waiting
for you to make the play?
'Cause I know and you know that
it just comes down to now or never,
but there's got to be a better way.

This is it now,
I'm waiting for your answer,
but I'm not sure
exactly what you'll say.
But I know and you know that
I could be the one to stick with you forever,
through all our bad or better days.

And I've been staring at the ceiling
with this song stuck in my mind.
I've gotta know just what you're feeling,
'cause we're running out of time.

(Woooo)
You've got me now, you've got me now.
(Woooo)
You've got me now, you've got me now.

(Woooo) You've got me, you've got me,
didn't take you to long and you've got me!
(Woooo) You've got me, you've got me,
what more do you want,'cause you've got ME!
(Woooo) You've got me, you've got me,
didn't take you to long but you've got me!
(Woooo) You've got me, you've got me,
what more do you want, 'cause you've got ME!

I'M READY (Spring 2006)
Hey, you feelin' something?
I say I'm all for jumping
off this cliff. Yeah, this is it,
or could be, anyway.

Hey, don't act suprised.
I say let's take the dive
off this cliff. Yeah, this is it,
or could be, anyway.

I'm ready if you're ready.
Well, I'm ready, are you ready?
'Cause my heart is breaking
while you're taking your time.
No telling where we're going,
but I'm going if you're going.
Just tell me, baby,
am I wasting my time?

So, you're far away and
I make it through the day, but
head on my pillow
and I'm missing you to death.

Dreams can't get me close
to you and neither can the coast.
These beaches are no remedy
for missing you to death.

I'm ready if you're ready.
Well, I'm ready, are you ready?
'Cause my heart is breaking
while you're taking your time.
No telling where we're going,
but I'm going if you're going.
Just tell me, baby,
am I wasting my time?

And if you go
then let me know,
'cause I'll be right behind you. Now
is not the time to change your mind.
Are you in or are you out?

Say yes.

I'm ready if you're ready.
Well, I'm ready, are you ready?
'Cause my heart is breaking
while you're taking your time.
No telling where we're going,
but I'm going if you're going,
and I'm fine with waiting
while you're taking you're time.

NUMBER SIX (Summer 2004)
This is to you.
How you always wanted to know what I was thinking.
To my phone bill,
and all those late night conversations.
To the number six,
because I had you on speed dial.
To my backyard
where we talked of broken hearts
and love that never was.

I remember
all those times you told me
that this would last forever.
I remember
all those times you told me
that this would never end.

This is to the radio.
How singing along made everything okay,
and our plans to run away.
And that time we felt complete because the
stars were out.
And how every song we heard
described exactly how we felt.

I remember
all those times you told me
that this would last forever.
I remember
all those times you told me
that this would never end.

This is to you
and all those nights I spent alone.
All those days I spent waiting to see you.
All those times you said you'd call.
This is to you.
And all those nights I spent alone.
All those days I spent waiting to see you. A
ll those times you said you'd call.

You never called.
You never called.
You never called.
You never called.
You never called.
You never called.
You never called.
You never called.
You never called.

I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE (Spring 2006)
Every time I think I'm feeling better,
I feel better off alone.
I'm better off alone.

Every time I go out thinking,
"this could be the night",
I change my tone.
I'm better off at home.

I'm better off alone.
I'm better off at home.

'Cause I don't want to be here.
I don't want to see you
have the time of your life,
the time of your life.
And I just want to let go,
but you had me from the get go.
Have the time of your life,
the time of your life without me.

Every time I feel like giving up
you always seem to change my mind.
It happens every time.

And every time I think we're going forward
we start going in rewind.
It happens every time.

It happens every time.
And so I'll change my mind.

I don't want to be here.
I don't want to see you
have the time of your life,
the time of your life.
And I just want to let go,
but you had me from the get go.
Have the time of your life,
the time of your life without me.

Without me.
Without me.
The time of your life without me.

LOVE & WAR (Spring 2005)
I always say I'm tired of fighting,
tired of writing about you.
I always promise that I'll know next time,
but I still waste my time on you.

So now you've proven that all my doubts were
just my instinct kicking in.
And all I've lost was time and effort,
but that sure ain't worth putting in.

And I can't handle
one more letdown,
one more breakdown,
one more fight.
I'm moving on towards
moving on and
you can't handle
that I'm still right.

I've done my part, so now it's your turn.
When will you learn it's just a game?
They say all is fair in love and war,
but when you play they seem the same.

So this is what it's all come down to?
I never thought it'd end like this.
It's just too bad I can't compete with
your temporary happiness.

And I can't handle
one more letdown,
one more breakdown,
one more fight.
I'm moving on towards
moving on and
you can't handle
that I'm still right.

I can't handle
one more letdown,
one more breakdown,
one more fight.
I'm moving on towards
moving on and
you can't handle
that I'm still right.

That I'm still right.
That I'm still right.
That I'm still right.
Yeah, I'm still right.

PERFECTLY ALRIGHT (Spring 2005)
The truth, anything but,
would be pleasant right about now.
And this sharp pain in my gut
ain't so pleasant right about now.

Don't tell me what I still refuse to believe.
I'm perfectly alright in being naive.
I'm perfectly alright in being naive.
Don't tell me what I still refuse to accept.
I'll take this with arguments lodged in my chest.
I'm trying as hard as I can.
Yeah, I'm doing my best.

Your touch sends chills down my spine.
Not the good kind, not the good kind.
And these thoughts that race through my mind
aren't the good kind, not the good kind.

Don't tell me what I still refuse to believe.
I'm perfectly alright in being naive.
I'm perfectly alright in being naive.
Don't tell me what I still refuse to accept.
I'll take this with arguments lodged in my chest.
I'm trying as hard as I can.
Yeah, I'm doing my best.

I'll hang up this phone,
I don't want to hear your voice.
I'll hang up this phone,
I don't want to hear your voice anymore.
Hear your voice anymore.

Don't tell me what I still refuse to believe.
I'm perfectly alright in being naive.
I'm perfectly alright in being naive.
Don't tell me what I still refuse to accept.
I'll take this with arguments lodged in my chest.
I'm trying as hard as I can.
Yeah, I'm doing my best.

I'm doing my best.
I'm doing my best.
I'm doing my best.

ANALOGY (Summer 2006)
Here's my analogy:
I'm to you as you're to me.
So I just can't understand why this is for the best.

The possibilities?
You'd have to take the chance to see, but
I'm not convincing so I'm failing one more test.

But I'll boldly go
to another lonely low,
and I'll try to keep my distance.
I'll try not to let it show
that I'm still all in
even though I said I'd fold.
Prayin' time will take its toll on me,
on me.

I can't begin to see
the future or my destiny,
but that's how life's supposed to be.
You only do or die.

I know that there are risks to take.
I know that there are hearts to break.
But weight the odds now, what's at stake?
You don't know 'till you try.

But I'll boldly go
to another lonely low,
and I'll try to keep my distance.
I'll try not to let it show
that I'm still all in
even though I said I'd fold.
Prayin' time will take its toll on me,
on me.

Yeah I'll boldly go
to another lonely low,
and I'll try to keep my distance.
I'll try not to let it show
that I'm still all in
even though I said I'd fold.
Prayin' time will take its toll on me,
on me.

SONG OF HOPE (Spring 2006)
You're lying to yourself if you say you don't like the games,
'cause I noticed all the smiles that you've been sneaking.
And I'm analyzing simple things. I guess I'm just afraid,
but my friends all say I'm really over-thinking.

'Cause everything I know
has gone out the window,
and I'll re-learn how to cope,
through one more song of hope.

If this is how it's gonna go, I tell you what, I'll let you know
when I get back, 'cause as for now I'm leaving.
Another day, another night, another chance to make this right.
I can't believe you've got me still believing.

'Cause everything I know
has gone out the window,
and I'll re-learn how to cope,
with one more song of hope.

And you know how I feel
'cause it's all on my sleeve,
but I'm not gonna beg.
If you leave, then you leave.
But it's killing me
silently,
sitting here.
Swear that it's over.
It's over.

It's over.
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!
It's over!

HERE COMES MORNING (Summer 2004)
Here comes morning.
Will you remember what we had?
Will you look at me the same was as before?

Here comes nothing
short of feeling like I failed.
Took a chance.
I don't take chances anymore.

How am I supposed to pass this off
like you have done so easily?
How am I supposed to figure out
what you're about, anyway?

I am falling
faster every second that I'm here with you,
can't walk away.
I am running
faster than and farther than I ever could,
still can't get away.

Next time,
if there is a next time, anyway,
maybe I won't fall for what you'll say.
Here comes next time.
I question every move you make.
My heart's pounding and I wonder why I stay.

How am I supposed to pass this off
like you have done so easily?
How am I supposed to figure out
what you're about, anyway?

I am falling
faster every second that I'm here with you,
can't walk away.
I am running
faster than and farther than I ever could,
still can't get away.

I am falling.
I am falling.
I am falling.

OVER & OVER (Fall 2004)
I couldn't get to sleep last night
'cause my mind was stuck on you.
So I got up and turned on the light.
There was nothing I could
do to help me stop from thinking,
yeah all this over-thinking.
I realized it's easy linking
the way I acted and the day I last saw you.

I could offer an apology,
but I don't know how far that would get me.
What will it take to make you see
I could love you if you'd just let me?
I know I should give up right now,
but I'm begging you, please, don't forget me.
If going back would make it right some how,
I'd do it over and over and over and over again.

I couldn't get to sleep tonight
'cause my thoughts were still on you.
And how I finally see that you were right,
but now there's nothing I can do
to help me stop from thinking.
Yeah, all this crazy thinking.
I realize it's easy linking the way
I acted and the day I last saw you.

I could offer an apology,
but I don't know how far that would get me.
What will it take to make you see
I could love you if you'd just let me?
I know I should give up right now,
but I'm begging you, please, don't forget me.
If going back would make it right some how,
I'd do it over and over and over and over again.

Over and over again.

DECEMBER (Winter 2004)
December skies remind me
of everything I put behind me.
Can't fight back all those memories anymore.

But I'll face the facts, stay calm, relax.
Take a breath and let this feeling pass.

Tonight is the night
everything feels like it's okay again.
Tonight is the night
we'll put back the past and face this as friends.
Everyone's happy
just be talking,
forgetting what we fought about.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

I'm writing this note
to let you know I'm still around.
I'm tired of avoiding what happened
and hating you for it.

I want to do better.
I want to feel better.
I want it to be the way it was.

Tonight is the night
everything feels like it's okay again.
Tonight is the night
we'll put back the past and face this as friends.
Everyone's happy
just be talking,
forgetting what we fought about.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

The way it was
before we were.
Before I loved your every word.
Before I looked into your eyes.
And back before I realized
that everything I'd ever need
was standing right in front of me,
and somehow I just let that moment pass.

Tonight is the night
everything feels like it's okay again.
Tonight is the night
everything feels like it's okay again.

Tonight is the night
everything feels like it's okay again.
Tonight is the night
we'll put back the past and face this as friends.
Everyone's happy
just be talking,
forgetting what we fought about.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

JAMES (Spring 2005)
Please
quit messing with my head.
I'd rather never know you
if the real you
isn't what you said.

So please,
don't let me down again,
the way I know you're capable of.
The way I know you can.

Why can't I see you?
Why can't I let go for once?
Why can't I know you like I want to?
Like I want to?

I...I never bargained for this shit.
I had a feeling all along.
I should've known,
but never wanted to admit.

Why can't I see you?
Why can't I let go for once?
Why can't I know you like I want to?
Like I want to so bad...

I DO (Spring 2005)
I can't take back
anything I've never done, and you
won't let up,
you're fighting all these battles
that you've already won.

And I...I won't deny,
and I...I promise not to cry
when you tell me to my face,

"This is over, and it's better off this way."
And I'll...I'll listen closely
to every word you say.
'Cause I'm trying, I'm trying
as hard as I can.
Yeah I swear
not to care
about you...
but I do!

It's getting old.
The same story told
over and over again, and
I'm sorry for
all of my faults
that you love to point out.

And I ...I won't deny,
and I...I promise not to cry
when you tell me to my face,
"This is over, and it's better off this way."
And I'll...I'll listen closely
to every word you say.
Yeah, I'm trying, I'm trying
as hard as I can.
Yeah, I swear
not to care
about you...
but I do!

I don't want you anymore.
I don't want you anymore.
I don't want you anymore.
I don't want you any...
I'm lying to myself again!
I'm lying to myself again!
I'm lying to myself again!
I'm lying to myself again!
I'm lying to myself again!

SMARTER WHEN I'M OLDER (Spring 2005)
I think I was better off when
I didn't put my faith in
you and your escapades.
Me and my serenades
never got me anywhere.
I think I learned a lot, I swear.
I'm pretty glad that this is over,
'cause I'll be smarter when I'm older.

Yeah, I'll be smarter when I'm older.

I know the sidelines like the back of my hand.
Not part of my plan,
but I guess that's who I am now.
I used to say I'd wait forever,
sticking strong to these endeavors.
I'm pretty sad that this is over,
but I'll be smarter when I'm older.

Yeah I'll be smarter when I'm older.

I spent all last night thinking
if I were older I'd be
drinking these thoughts away.
Save 'em for a better day.
Jealousy is my only friend,
but I know that in the end
I won't be mad that this is over,
'cause I'll be smarter when I'm older.

Yeah, I'll be smarter when I'm older.
Yeah, I'll be smarter when I'm older.
Hope that I'm smarter when I'm older.

WHEN WE GET THERE (Summer 2005)
The minutes pass
and it's hours before I sleep,
'cause I'm still contemplating
when it's over, where we'll be.

And I can't speak
when I'd rather give up now
and make this last forever.
There's just got to be somehow.

When Autumn's drawing near,
and my vision's got less clear,
will you be worth the wait?
That's a chance I'd like to take.
We're going nowhere fast,
but we're growing up at last.
Will the end be worth the scare?
Well, we'll see when we get there.

I can't deny
these feelings anymore.
I'll tell you that I need you,
and I'll tell you I want more.

The timing sucks,
just like it always has,
but someone tell me,
why's it gotta turn out bad?

When Autumn's drawing near,
and my vision's got less clear,
will you be worth the wait?
That's a chance I'd like to take.
We're going nowhere fast,
but we're growing up at last.
Will the end be worth the scare?
Well, we'll see when we get there.

SINGLE SERVING (Fall 2005)
The jig is up.
You know how I feel.
Now what've I gotta to to convince you it's real?
I guess that's why I'm singing.

So here I am, still alone,
waiting patient by the phone,
but I know that it's not ringing.

Your addiction is my affliction.
I'm not your single-serving girlfriend anymore.
My attraction is my distraction.
I've still got one foot out the door.

So here we go,
one more time,
one more day, I've got one more rhyme.
But my confidence is thinning.

I've said goodbye.
I've moved along.
But I still fight flashbacks all day long,
and I think they might be winning.

Your addiction is my affliction.
I'm not your single-serving girlfriend anymore.
My attraction is my distraction.
I've still got one foot out the door.

I'm so caught up in you.
There's nothing left to do
than waste my day away
worrying if you're okay.
There's nothing left to hide.
It's you I want to stand beside...
or maybe even far away.

And I'll call you by your nickname
if I ever get to call you.
I'm waiting for next Monday,
but I'm sure those plans will fall through.
I'm wondering
and wondering
and putting off my studying.
So if I fail this test then it's your fault.

Your addiction is my affliction.
I'm not your single-serving girlfriend anymore.
My attraction is my distraction.
I've still got one foot out the door.

THE ANSWER (Fall 2005)
Ever been in this situation?
Well, let me explain.
I question perceptions,
"Did I make the impression that I swear that I made?"

Whenever I feel this tension,
I wonder if it's all in my mind.
'Cause if it's something I dreamed up,
then why does it feel so much
like I've been brushed aside?

And you don't help with the answer.
You're the question I'm worried about.
So self-doubt is my answer.
And you don't mind giving answers
to everyone other than me,
so you see,
there's your answer.

So I'm stuck in this situation
and I know that I've said it before.
But I'm tearing my heart out
to just get a start out
of something that might never be more.

I'm done with these complications.
I'm a skeptic and I swear that I'm right.
So just come out and say it,
it's better that way. It
won't hurt as much as letting it slide.

And you don't help with the answer.
You're the question I'm worried about.
So self-doubt is my answer.
And you don't mind giving answers
to everyone other than me,
so you see,
there's your answer.

And you don't help with the answer.
You're the question I'm worried about.
So self-doubt is my answer.
And you don't mind giving answers
to everyone other than me,
so you see,
there's your answer.

TRY TO UNDERSTAND (Fall 2006)
Well I'm sitting here in silence
and I'm feeling so discouraged.
'Cause I only want to call you,
but I just don't have the courage.

And it seems like only yesterday,
things were going fine.
It's funny how our lives can change
in only seconds time.

And I know I'll miss the bad jokes,
and the way you never called.
I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
as we lay there in the darkness.
Try to understand it all.
Understand it all.
Couldn't understand at all.

I'm sorry that I never could
quite say this to your face.
Always hiding behind melody lines,
hooks that keep me safe.

And I know this may be catchy
but I know you can't relate,
so what's possible's impossible,
and that I won't debate.

But I know I'll miss the bad jokes,
and the way you never called.
I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
as we lay there in the darkness.
Try to understand it all.
Understand it all.
Couldn't understand at all.

So don't take this the wrong way.
This is nothing like the past.
I'm fine and I am okay
with the fact that this won't last.
And I'll try to fix my problem,
sorry I was so afraid
of what could've been,
what should've been,
oh what a mess I've made...

'Cause I know I'll miss the bad jokes,
and the way you never called.
I know I'll miss the way your TV glowed blue on the wall
as we lay there in the darkness.
Try to understand it all.
Understand it all.
Couldn't understand at all.

I'LL BE OKAY (Winter 2006)
There's something endearing
about this empty room.
The sun's in my eyes now.
It's a quarter past two.
And I've got my guitar,
and you've got your space.
So I'm stuck in this place.
I'm stuck in this place.

I kind of don't mind it,
but I'm losing my mind.
I'll put off what's important
if it'll buy me some time.
Time to get braver.
Time to postpone
that evident failure
I can't seem to disown.
And I'm still alone.
Yeah, I'm still alone.

Will you take me home?

The day is not over,
but I'm still in my bed,
'cause sleep is the answer
to the questions that float in my head.
And I am not sober.
And I am not well.
I thought you could tell.
Yeah, you never could tell.

I've nothing put patience
and nothing to lose,
'cause you've given me nothing
in the time that it takes you to choose.
There's no excuse now
for making mistakes.
It's time to grow up.
Face the choices you make.
You take and you take.
And I'm starting to break.

But I'll be okay.

HERE'S THE PLAN (December 2006)
I want to walk in the cold
with your arm on my shoulder,
stay here forever,
and never get older.
Laugh at eachother
for things that we've said
in the past and the present.
And what lies ahead.

I want to wake up beside you,
stay half asleep,
get lost in the covers, and
forever be
in a fine state of mind
with our bodies intwined,
and the passage of time
won't matter anymore.
Anymore.

So here is a song
that I wrote on a good day.
I hate to make you sad
with all the bad ones
that I play.
You know, even though
that I sometimes get angry,
I'm really just crazy.
So tell me that maybe

I want to wake up beside you,
stay half asleep,
get lost in the covers, and
forever be
in a fine state of mind
with our bodies intwined,
and the passage of time
won't matter anymore.
Anymore.

I could make you pancakes in the morning.
I promise you that this time I'll have eggs.
Please forgive me thinking you're adorable.
Maybe we should spend the day in bed.

I want to wake up beside you,
stay half asleep,
get lost in the covers, and
forever be
in a fine state of mind
with our bodies intwined,
and the passage of time
won't matter anymore.
Anymore.

DON'T GO (December 2006)
Lately when I wake up all the numbers on my clock are new to me.
I've got to get more sleep.

I stay up late nights wasting my time
planning out how I can make you see
just what you really need.

A stomach full of worry never got me very far,
so I'll drive out my frustration in this godforsaken car.
Somewhere deep inside of me
I know that you were part of the problem,
but I still want you.
No, don't go.

I know it's not healthy but I'm kind of getting used to being sick.
They don't make cures for this.

I'll always be your backup plan.
Silver medal, though I ran
the hardest and the farthest of them all.

A stomach full of worry never got me very far,
so I'll drive out my frustration in this godforsaken car.
Somewhere deep inside of me
I know that you were part of the problem,
but I still want you.
No, don't go.

And I can always count on you to count me out.
Another broken heart that I could do without.
I know I'll never be the one that you adore,
so I'll turn around
and stand my ground
and settle down
and settle for

A stomach full of worry. Never got me very far,
so I'll drive out my frustration in this godforsaken car.
Somewhere deep inside of me
I know that you were part of the problem,
but I still want you.

So don't go.
Don't go.
Don't go.

BREAK MY HEART (January 2007)
And another day goes by
where I'm stuck still wondering why
I'm in the passenger seat
of a car that's going nowhere.

I could sit here by your side,
or I could take a chance and try
my best
to find someone
who doesn't let me down.

And it's time
to hear the words that I've been saying.
Nevermind
my promises before.
We could try
to fix these ties before they're broken.

Say my name
and I am there,
but I still don't know what I'm here for.

And you know that being happy
doesn't have to be this hard.
Don't you see with every risk you take
you go and break my heart?

I can't stand here any longer
simply nodding soft and slow,
'cause I know
that doing nothing is worse than letting go.

And it's time
to hear the words that I've been saying.
Nevermind
my promises before.
We could try
to fix these ties before they're broken.

Say my name
and I am there,
but I still don't know what I'm here for.

WHAT I NEED (Summer 2007)
I've got plans to make
But planning might be risky
I've got time to waste
if you will waste it with me
And I know
I dont
know you well
but this could
be good
I can tell

So won't you keep me company please?

Lately I've been spending my time
under the covers
wishing you were
hiding with me
wash away the world cause
nothing that I've ever felt
compares to what is happening now
maybe I am crazy
but I'd like to be your girl

So strange to finally feel like what I need

is there
and I'm no longer scared
yeah all my inhibitions
vanish into the night air
and you and me
will be what we will be
only time will tell
so I guess we'll see

twenty years
is long to wait
I've battled broken hearts
I'm great
at being really independent
but its not as fun as
sharing songs
and sharing thoughts
and making out in parking lots
and being so inspired by the things that we could do

So keep me by your side, i'll stick with you,

I swear
cause I'm no longer scared
and all my inhibitions
vanish into the night air
and you and me
will be what we will be
only time will tell
so I guess we'll see

and all the problems we have to endure
I've been through all kinds of problems before
and these are nothing at all I assure you
the good outweighs the bad, times a million yeah!

I don't care
cause I'm no longer scared
and all my inhibitions
vanish into the night air
and you and me
will be what we will be
only time will tell
so I guess we'll see

DAYBREAK (Summer 2007)
Well the day breaks
and I play dead
cause I can't fake
that my empty bed
isn't lonely in the mornings without you

and I'm back where
I was before
and the game's fair
if you're keeping score
but we aren't, are we...

Slowly
my doubts begin to surface
So tell me
if all of this is worth it

but I like
what I've found
keep me around

and the day's short
so I drive fast
and I've long since
forgot my past
but something's
got me hesitating now

but I'll stay here
and I'll stay still
and I'll stay with you
if you say you will
let me rest my tired head next to yours

and I'm missing
what I never had
second guessing
what my insticts said
when they told me
I've got nothing to fear.

cause I don't.
and I won't.
I wish you were here.

COMFORT (Spring-Summer 2007)
Well the tv's turned to static
But I'm still in bed with you
And sometimes I think I've had it
But I'm still in bed with you
And It's true
I shouldn't be here anymore
But I don't really care about that now

All the days that I've spent trying
To find out what I've done wrong
Somehow seem to be forgotten
When I write myself a song
To remind me
Why I started this whole thing
So I'll sing
And I'll wing it once again

I still find comfort in the comfort
Familiarity has got me bad
So I'll expect you at my doorstep
And I'll probably take you back

And so many times repeated
Trace my steps back to the start
'Cause I've memorized my lines now
You could shoot me through the heart
To protect me
From doing what I might regret
But I won't.
Baby don't.
Be my sin.

I'm not afraid of endings
I sense no impending doom
Cause although you say its over
We are only me and you
Through and through
Two kids without a sense of self control
Just the goal
Of giving in

I still find comfort in the comfort
Familiarity has got me bad
So I'll expect you at my doorstep
And I'll probably take you back

I will probably take you back

THE DISAPPEARING ACT (Summer 2007)
Many many weeks
And I'm still sleeping on my own
Waking to the whispers of the night
And I'm finding out the secrets
That I wish I'd never known
Keep me at a distance, I'm alright

But I'm lying to keep me afloat
And I'm trying to keep my eyes closed
Soon the dark will be gone
And the right won't feel wrong
But I'm dying to know where you go, oh

Many many times
I've wrestled thoughts of giving up
Swear I'd give it all to you tonight
But I've been told by many
Not to trust the one you love
Keep them at a distance. Yes, thats right

But I'm lying to keep me afloat
And I'm trying to keep my eyes closed
Soon the dark will be gone
And the right wont feel wrong
But I'm dying to know where you go, oh

So I'm lying to keep me afloat
And I'm trying to keep my eyes closed
Soon the dark will be gone
And the right wont feel wrong
But I'm dying to know where you go

Where you go, where you go

THE END (Summer 2007)
Boy, you make it easy to forget we ever met
All this talk of keepin' touch, there's been no talkin' yet
So tell me when you're ready, man, and I'll call you my friend
But I don't mind
Calling this the end

Boy, you make it easy for a girl to lose her head
Losing sleep, and losing time, hey, losers never win
So shake my hand, call it a tie, and I'll call you my friend,
But I don't mind
Calling this the end

Boy, you make it easy for a memory to bend
Fact and fiction fading into one confusing blend
So I'll remember good things now, and I'll call you my friend
But I don't mind
Calling this the end

There are people who have changed my life
And there are people I have left behind
If you ain't up to it, I'll let it die
But it's up to you
to change my mind

Boy, you've got it easy, leaving, starting over fresh
Abandoning beginnings that you brought to life and left
So pack your bags and say goodbye, and call me sometime, friend
'Cause I don't mind
Calling this the end

The End.

TIME (Summer 2007)
I found the Holy Bible on a bench outside the courthouse
And I am scared because I do not think of God, no no
The thoughts that cross my mind
Are neither holy, nor divine
Just simple human longings for the boy who does not believe
He once believed in me

So I walked on and stuffed that heavy new book under my arm
And then I got in my car and drove on home
I thought of words he said
'Bout where we're going once we're dead
But other worries fill my head
It's selfish and I know I'm wrong
But I'll miss him when he's gone

Yeah I still fear the black
But there's no looking back
And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
Can't tell which way to go
I doubt we'll ever know
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here

I made it home, unlocked the door, and tossed that book onto the floor
Where it sat waiting like I'm waiting for the truth, so
I put it in a box under my bed, with all those silly things I've kept
And I will leave it there unread, so I can get back to
Figuring out how I'll get through today and tomorrow

Yeah I still fear the black
But there's no looking back
And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
Can't tell which way to go
I doubt we'll ever know
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here

And if it's just gonna end, what's the point of it all?
Call it quits, cut out early, this is surely your fault
When I fall back to you, I am through, I am through
Oh but I do...I do...

Yeah I still fear the black
But there's no lookin' back
And if I'm dying, I'm just dying for you, dear
Can't tell which way to go
I doubt we'll ever know
Let's take advantage of the time that we've got here
'Cause time's all we've got here

STAY (Summer 2007)
I've got a knack for moving forward, a history of not
A permanent solution that I've found but haven't got
A face against my fingertips, a feeling I have learned
'Cause a lifetime full of liars taught me
I don't ever get what I deserve

So I'm staring to the silence and wearing just a smile
I'll take what you will give me, be it inches, be it miles
'Cause I'm here for the duration, the frustration, and the trial
I'm not leaving in the morning
Even though I know you're leaving in a while

It's okay
And I'm fine
There's no way
And no time
So just stay
For right now
Right now

The days are passing slowly, and I'm still on my own
But with this unfamiliar feeling, suddenly I'm not alone
And I'm missing all that emptiness that got me through my teens
If you don't mind me being honest
I just don't know what that means

And for the first time in my life, I can't sing what's on my tongue
'Cause it's scary when I say it, or when you say it, or when I hear it
Sung by all those people who have felt what I can't hide
No solution to this problem
So just listen to me now and don't decide

It's okay
And I'm fine
There's no way
And no time
So just stay
For right now
Right now

FOLK #1 (Fall 2007)
Do you ache like I do for the days I knew you?
When sunny mornings felt like they're supposed to?
Do you feel like I feel? Search for something real,
But settle for whatever you can get?

There's a whole lot of me's where you're going
But I won't find you here
For the rest of my life, or until I can find a replacement,
I'm faced with that fear
I need you
I think I need you

Do you whisper so soft in the ear of another
The words you've said before?
Do you keep in your pocket the things that I gave you
Or leave them all behind?

There's a whole lot of me's where you're going
But I won't find you here
For the rest of my life, or until I can find a replacement,
I'm faced with that fear
I need you
I think I need you

LET ME GO (Winter 2008)
Stranded in my dark apartment
My heart can't fight the fire you started
A war between the best of us
But I'll look up if you look up

We'll say our prayers and curse the sky
It always hurts to say goodbye
But all is for the best, you know
And I will go, so let me go

Let me go

My rusty strings will never make
The sounds I heard with you that day
The music running through our veins
A tune that I just can't explain

We'll clear our throats and sing along
There's nothing like a leaving song
But all is for the best, you know
And I will go, so let me go

Let me go

You were the one
I wanted more than you could give
You were the one
Who said we couldn't live like this
You were the one
Who made the plans before we landed

All is for the best, you know
So why won't you just let me go?

Let me go
