Days Spent
03:56
|

|
I wake up
And I pour myself a cup
I work to win people’s love
It never feels like enough
You and me
Can’t be who we used to be
You’ve gotta set yourself free
You wanna blame it on me
That’s unacceptable, you don’t look so incredible now
You’re still remembering the days you spent forgetting me now
I’m just a face in the crowd
And I’ll bet you’re listening now
Ain’t you? Ain’t you? Ain’t you?
Or you never even cared
I turn around and you aren’t there
So what now?
I’ve been having some doubt about
The time I spent
Pleasing and appeasing you
Always just believing you
After what you put me through
Did I ever do that to you?
Did I? Did I? Did I? No
That’s unacceptable, you don’t look so incredible now
You’re still remembering the days you spent forgetting me now
I’m just a face in the crowd
And I bet you’re missing me now
Don’t you? Don’t you? Don’t you? Yeah
‘Cause you never notice when
You’re just satisfied to pretend

Gimme Love
02:25
|
|||
|
I can be whatever you want me to
If the love shared between us is good and true
There is still so much left for us to do
I waited my whole life for someone like you
Keep me from feelin’ blue
A job that no one would take
Don’t have a thing to prove
And when I’m in a mood
A smile you put on my face
A moment shared that could not be faked
Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love now
Give me a life to share
With tender loving care
The rest of my living days
Give me a happy home
A place to call my own
With someone who shares my ways
Where i can rest and enjoy my days
Soak up the sun’s ultraviolet rays
It’s a long, long road one day I will pave
Gimme love, gimme love
Gimme love, gimme love, gimme love, gimme love now

Sycophant
02:14
|
|||
|
Placed on high alert
And disappointed in the ones you serve
I’m not the same as you
Been around the block and learned to pay the dues
You’re so afraid you can’t admit the truth
Well, if you need to see the proof
Figure out who to be
You’re about the image and it’s plain to see
Your sycophantic dream will not come true
The one you needed was you
I’m no better off
Wouldn’t do just as well to break the law

The Great Mistake
03:12
|

How long can you do this?
How long will you keep selling your soul
To the lowest bidder
And they can’t deliver
Please take this advice
Does you no good always thinking twice
If the first thought’s better
Put it in a letter
Nobody could deny you
What you’re after
You’re the master
Of whatever you could manifest
And if you throw that away, you fail the test
How long have you been here?
Made no progress, and it’s been a couple years
Rather be a quitter than a professional bullshitter
I’ll help you kill that sorrow
Are you free to chill tomorrow?
‘Cause I’ve got big news, I’m not singing the blues
Nobody could deny you
What you’re after
You’re the master
Of whatever you could manifest
And if you throw that away, you fail the test
How long can you do this?
How long will you keep selling your soul
To the lowest bidder
And they can’t deliver

Wadeview Park
03:56
|

|
I sold my car and joined a cult
Gave up the license to my soul
Which came at quite a heavy toll
Just a victim of a circumstance that I couldn’t control
Then I got left out in the cold
Meet by the bridge
Where we ran and we hid when day got dark
Next to Wadeview Park
Things never said
At the back of your head, it’s not too late
Don’t make those same mistakes
You never once looked up my name
Just flush me down the goddamn drain
I was good to you and patient, only wanted the same
Couldn’t you feel my inner pain?
Meet by the bridge
Where we ran and we hid when night was dark
Next to wadeview park
Things never said
You can put them to bed, you’re not too far
To make that brand new start

If Only For A Moment
03:00
|
|||
|
I’m not afraid to love, if only for a moment
So if I say it to you, you gotta realize it’s true
I’m glad to be alive, if only for a minute
I never wanted to be the harbinger of bad news
Playing this song takes me back to a place where i once stood
Writing it made me feel good
I reminisce on every little moment life was good
I’d travel back if I could
You’re where you are, it only lasts for a moment
And what you think that you want, one day you’re gonna wanna toss
You only get to have the feeling until it falls apart
And you just gotta move on until you’re used to dealing with loss
Least in a song you never gotta be misunderstood
Writing them makes me feel good
I reminisce on every little moment life was good
We were living just like we should

Climbing Trees
03:10
|

|
Foldable lawn chair culdesac
And jump ropes in the street
Dad’s on the night shift at Circle K
He’s got four mouths to feed
‘Cause we are a happy family
Wipe my dirty knees
I cut the grass while Tommy’s out climbing trees
I wish that were me
I collect my thoughts, it puts me at a loss
Don’t care the cost if I may know peace
Just climbing trees
Tommy make yourself useful for once
And get your pop a beer
Mom says that you’re a lazy drunk
Who makes thirty five grand a year
At least that’s what I could overhear
Wipe my dirty knees
I cut the grass while Tommy’s out climbing trees
I wish that were me
I connect the dots, criss cross apple sauce
The coin is tossed, such sweet relief
Just climbing trees so I may know peace

Leisure Activities
03:27
|

|
Gave what you had, there’s nothing left to give
Just wasted time is not a life to live
Are you in search of something better or a lie?
Never you let those expectations rise too high
You can’t have a piece of the pie
Can’t see straight anymore
It’s not like it was before
I’ve got no time, I’ve got no energy at all
Leisure activities have all but slowed to a crawl
I feel outside, my body’s a robotic shell
Every sense is a logical spell
Can’t see straight anymore
Can’t walk through an open door
My problem must be you
Let those deep misgivings stew
I don’t even like you anymore
Could you ever tell just when
You were about to lose a friend?
I don’t even live there anymore
You can lose the old address
Please don’t ever call or text
I don’t even like you anymore
Could you ever tell just when
You were about to lose a friend?
There’s no way to know what to believe
You can only give as much
Not expecting to receive

You are not the hero or the enemy
What you are lies somewhere in between
In the summertime, I cut up a kiwi and you had a piece
At my old house on the porch with the maple tree
Remember what you said to me?
Kiwi Wednesday mornings taste like summer
Now the summer has come and gone away
And if I can’t give you what you wanted
Then you reserve the right to walk away
You’ve got good intentions on your better days
But you’re scared of what it is you really wanna say
Say it anyway
Do you think about all the other people in the day to day?
There is love, and there is a debt that you cannot repay
“It’s not my fault, or it’s not my problem”
Kiwi Wednesday mornings taste like summer
Now the summer has come and gone away
And if I can’t give you just what you wanted
Then you reserve the right to walk away

O Danny Boy, the pipes the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and ‘cross the mountainside
The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling
‘Tis you, ‘tis you must go and I must bide
But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow,
Or all the valley’s hushed and white with snow
‘Tis I’ll be here, in sunshine or in shadow
O Danny boy, O Danny boy I love you so
When winter’s come and all the flowers dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You’ll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an Ave there for me
But I shall hear, though soft you tread above me
And over my grave shall warmer sweeter be
And you will bend and tell me that you love me
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me
O Danny boy, the stream flows cool and slowly
And pipes still call and echo across the glen
Your broken mother sighs and feels so lowly
For you have not returned to smile again
Returned to smile again
Returned to smile again
