Sweetest Lullaby

Verse 1 & 2:
Know that I will never hurt you
No, I will never leave
You pulled me into falling
Wearing my emotions on my sleeve
My heart is open for the taking'
Just please dont leave it broken
Know, you'll never stand alone, it

Feels like im drowning in the riverbanks
Not worthy of the sea
Feels like my car has stalled on the highway
Runnin out of gasoline
Feels like im held up at a toll booth
Not worthy of the fee
Feels like im down and out and broken
Until you made me feel worthy, of me

Chorus:
I'm left writing, writing, writing,
yeah I'm left crying, crying, crying
Feel like dying, dying, dying
Instead, I'm lefting writing, writing, writing
till your left sighing, sighing, sighing
till your left crying, crying, crying
till them tears flow down your side
just let me sing you asleep
The Sweetest Lullaby

Verse 3 & 4:
Now I know that you have scars
and I know you are afraid
It may seem like your voice is gone and far
But your echo to me, will never fade
Hang on to me, when only a string remains
I'll make sure the friction never leaves you frayed

The light from the window is fading,

You turn on the night,

The sound from the avenue's calling,

Just open your eyes

You tell yourself the things you need show
But inside, you just dont know

Believe in me and what I'm about
And when the forcasted finally lifts
From this cold and dreary drought
Know I will not leave you crying
No, I will not let you down

Chorus:
I'm left writing, writing, writing,
yeah I'm left crying, crying, crying
Feel like dying, dying, dying
Instead, I'm lefting writing, writing, writing
till your left sighing, sighing, sighing
till your left crying, crying, crying
till them tears flow down your side
just let me sing you asleep
The Sweetest Lullaby

Forgive me

Verse 1:
You once said, that I was perfect
I'll tell you now, I'm far from it
but it was the nicest thing I'd ever heard
Your photoshop comment touched my heart
I knew from this moment,
That this was a new start, for us
but I must warn you now,
I may not always make you proud
but ill try to blend in with the rest of the crowd
and here are my apolagies, truly endowed

Chorus:
Forgive me for the way ill act
Forgive me for fallin' so fast
Have a tendancy to mess things up,
I hope you can get past all that

I'll admit my problems
I push to hard, I want it all
Then I watch it all fall apart
Dreams fall through the cracks on the boulevards
And I just want you here to make me…better

Verse 2:
Better than ive ever been
I"ll be your Barbie, if you'll be my Ken
Wait, I think I just messed that up, again
All you need to know, is that on a scale of one to five
You're a ten, and...
Ill' shower you with flowered roses,
Ones left fake, but one knows this
Pick them up and smell then with your senses,
Walk up to the mirror, so you can see
the 13 most beautiful things to me….
Now open the card, and listen my dear
It'll read that I'll be here
Til the very last one dies
Can wait to see your face, when you realize the surprise
Man, ive never been so lost, in someone elses eyes

Chorus:
Forgive me for the way ill act
Forgive me for fallin' so fast
Have a tendancy to mess things up,
I hope you can get past all that

I'll admit my problems
I push to hard, I want it all
Then I watch it all fall apart
Dreams fall through the cracks on the boulevards
And I just want you here to make me…better

Verse 3:
Id buy you anything
In this world, a diamond ring
Just forgive me for everything, that I am
And just promise me one last thing
That you'll never change the record on this very song I sing
I'm sorry for everything, that i'll be
Just stay with me through thick and thin
So this new life, we can now begin
And if it seems that you can't win, my friend
ill run into a wall, and bruise my shin
just to see the laughter from your infectious grin
Cause I never wanna have to go, 24 years without you, again
Give me the fairy tale end...

Dream Worth Saving

Intro:
I would lie awake, in my bed, all alone
My mind would not shut off,
instead, all the voices inside my head
Throbbed of endless thoughts that needed shed
Until one day I closed my eyes, and
All the noises disappeared,
And I dreamt a dream worth savin'

Verse 1:
You saved me from the darkest place
Been disconnected from every holy place
You saved me from the swamp
Been lied to and shamed
You saved me from all the disgrace
From all the pain
You saved me from me, Mr. two faced

Chorus:
I used to dream about millions
Now all I dream about is you
For you're a dream come true
No matter how cliche,
The dream worth saving, is you..

Verse 2:
Let me tell you about my dreams, lately
They all involve the same girl
shes not dressed up in diamonds and pearls
but when I look into her earth toned eyes,
I see the world, and shes my girl
wrapped up in charisma from the fifties
she'd use the word swell,
well thats nifty, to me
and in my dreams shes reality
and reality is nothing short of a tragedy
if she ain't in my dreams

Chorus:
I used to dream about millions
Now all I dream about is you
For you're a dream come true
No matter how cliche,
The dream worth saving, is you...

Outro:
To seal my dreams,
Could use a kiss goodnight
Surreal it seems, Serenities bright
Regained faith in Trinity, tonight
Falling asleep to the left of you
Waking up right next to you'
Now, thats a dream worth savin'
No cliche, just truth

Portrait of Perfection

...but at some point I had to choose happiness, I had to make that a priority, over everything. Yes, Im talkin about you, dont worry about me, cause really if all your life is, is a series of meaningless flings, and some idealized vision of our love story, then im really sad for you. Because I know what your capable of. But what if I'm wrong? What if this is it for you? What if you're just destined to sit around and wait for the band to get back together. I guess you're just waiting on a miracle.  A miracle that is no longer going to every amount to anything more than a fantasy.  Because I've moved on.  On to someone else that appreciates me and gets excited about our existence.  It's real.  And you couldnt give me that. 

...and yet, seeing her reminds me of you. Safely saying, I see you in her, which is why im drawn to her. But is that fair? To her? The object of my desires is now loosely based on a false recollection of a past resemblance. Or could there be more to this? More to this illusion than just deceivance? Only time will tell, but I think its safe to say that you're gone, and not re-appearing. Maybe she's the sign I've been looking for, the better version of you that you always wanted me to discover, and for that I thank you for leaving my life and allowing for her to come into it.  It's been a blessing in disguise really. 

...I think it was her smile that did it for me, and everything that came along with it. That soft giggle that just warms the opposing heart, allowing old wounds to die in an instant. It was just one week. One week is all it took for me to know. But I think ill keep that from her for now. She's more than deserving, but am I, thats the question that lingers.  Because I don't know If I can handle the pain of getting hurt again.  Becoming broken, really.  I've been down that road.  And everything from this point only seems like a chance.  A risky one at bet.  Though I have a feeling this one is worth it.  I don't know how I know.  Or how its any different than any other time that I've fell for a girl, but it is.  This time it's different, and im out to make sure of that.  For her sake that is.

...cause it started off as another casualty. I didn't know what it all really meant. Possibly another victim of sobriety, or society for that matter. All I knew was her depiction, as it radiated with exquisite admiration, on my part. It was as if she was staring right at me with those gorgeous earth toned eyes, putting Mona Lisa's smile in exile, redefining art as we know it. I could only envision her elegance at this time. On paper, she was the portrait of perfection. A timeless, goddess like being that fell into my lap. How anyone could have let this go is beyond me at this point. But in this true to life game of lost and never found, I think i've stumbled upon a precious stone, a gem, a lost treasure...

 

Come home to me

I’m not sure why I cant sleep
All I know right now, is you’re the thing I need
I send this prayer up to the stars so you’ll see
That I just want you to come home to me

What would you say?
If I told you all my secrets
Would you walk away
... Or would you hold on?
I’ll write you many love songs
If you promise our love remains strong

My bitterness has ceased
With all the stormy weather
Not everything gets clean as it gets messy
But we all learn our valuable lessons
Along the way, we stop lookin’
Down into that bottle of 5th , and
That barrel of smith and wesson

And I’m sure its hard for you
It’s hard for me, too
Though I wont make believe
We’ll both get by
Im hoping someday soon we’ll figure out a way
To spend a little time, not saying goodbye
Cause I don’t ever wanna say goodbye
I don’t ever wanna say goodbye
To you

Nothin moves me anymore
I want impatiently for your footsteps, at the door
Cause you’re everything I was looking for
Above all things, you’re what I believe
So please, just come home to me.
Just come home,
Baby, please come home
To me,

My Reason Why

My Reason Why

Surrounded by the streets lights,
As they grace the paved dark city
I find a way, to reach out
In a way that seems so witty

Hoping you don’t see my pale and fragile scars
As they run deep through my luminescent arms,
So just in case, I’ll hide myself behind the shadows,
Sometimes life, yeah sometimes like seems so very far...

But, I wish that you could see
What all that’s left of me
Surrender broken dreams
Yet, I’m still trifling
But im all right, and
I don’t mind, if you don’t mind
I just want a reason to call you mine
Let me tell you why…

There is a story here, I feel it
A search for something real,
And I believe this
You found me on the ground,
Where I was bleedin’
but you came around
to pick me up, from bein’ broken
Cause you are my reason why

Just waiting on the clouds to break
Praying for a chance to take
I dream of you, dreamin’ of me
And those beautiful dark eyes, fall upon me
As times change,
I'll feel safe knowing you wont’ go away

I’ve been searchin for a place to go,
Somewhere to rest my head
Tired of being alone
And if theres room inside your head
Can’t I continue to rest mine there?

There is a story here, I feel it
A search for something real,
And I believe this
You found me on the ground,
Where I was bleedin’
but you came around
to pick me up, from bein’ broken
Cause' you are my reason why

Reason to Hope

Reason To Hope

I gave away more than I had
in the blinding cold, casket black
when the sun went down, never did return.
Like gasoline on an open flame,
light up so bright then burn away.
If I fall apart, look the other way...

When all the things I need, feel just like a dream
... And every breath I breathe, is so hard

Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Something to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, A reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

An it's hard to say times are bad
cause it's been much worse, and I know that
But from all I've seen, these days are awful hard
And the prays came slow for me at first,
then the dam broke down and the rivers surged

I am on my knees wondering what it's worth
And all things I need feel just like a dream
And so every breath I breathe is so hard

Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Somthing to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, a reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

And I said hold up
It's alright if you don't see, open your eyes
If you fall down, I will pick you up

Well I just want a reason to hope
A reason to know that I should still be here
Maybe just a glimpse of the light, a patch of blue sky
Somthing to believe in
I just want a reason to hope, a reason to hope
Want a reason that I should not let go
I want a reason to hope

And I said hold up
It'a alright if you don't see open your eyes
If you fall down I will pick you up
