End of July

Hot nights
Headlights
We parked at the overlook till dawn
Didn’t turn the radio on
I still
Can feel what I felt for you at the end of July
Those were better times
Now I sit by myself and I wish for the end of July
I’m in love with the memory of us at the end of July
Daybreak
Heartache
I tried not to stop to check my phone
Never did feel so alone
And I hate when the sweltering days of the summer come by
And I find myself back at the wheel on that dusty old drive
To the place where we sat and we gazed at the star studded sky
I’m in love with the memory of us at the end of July
Won’t hear from me if I don’t hear from you
Won’t hear from me even though want you to
Won’t hear from me if it’s the last thing I’ll do

Lovesick

To be
Lovesick
To be tortured through the day
To be hopeless cause this hope won’t go away
Never alone with your imagined company
Dreaming away will never fail to comfort me
Cause the ache in my heart fills a vacancy
Wonderful it is when it’s making me
Lovesick
And I’m tortured through the day
And I’m hopeless
But you know that keeps me sane
I remember a time
When the world was just a million shades of gray
But now I feel alright
I’m so blue but I like it that way
I never knew what loneliness could mean to me
The harder it is, the easier it is to breathe
Cause you in my arms looks so wrong to me
I need you out of reach if I want to be
Lovesick
To be tortured through the day
To be hopeless
I’m delivered in the pain

Joanne
04:04

If I seem preoccupied
It's because I am
Cause there’s been one thing on my mind
Ever since you left Joanne
Practiced this a thousand times
Waiting for this day
But now it’s come and here I find
That I’ve got nothing to say
Can’t you tell that I am drowning in the silence we create
Can’t you tell my heart is pounding ‘neath my nonchalant charade
Can’t you tell that I could be more than a shoulder
If I were bolder
If I were bolder
If I were bolder
It’s hard to think I miss when you
Were a taken man
Cause then I had a good excuse
I could lay it on Joanne
But now there’s only me to blame
And nothing real to fear
To see you now just gives me pain
Well I’d rather disappear
You’d never know that I have loved you since the moment that we met
You’d never know that I would rather die alone than risk regret
So can’t you tell that I could be more than a shoulder
If I were bolder
If I were bolder
If I were bolder
Can’t you tell that I am drowning in the silence we create
Can’t you tell my heart is pounding ‘neath my nonchalant charade
Can’t you tell that I could be more than a shoulder
If I were bolder

The light is low
There’s a taxi waiting at the door
You get up to go
But I’m standing in the way
Now I’m needing you to stay and I say
That I think that I could love you
Well I’m as shocked as you to hear it
It’s the feeling I’ve come to
I would love to make you mine
If you just say Yes!
Did you just hear what I said
You got me hanging by a little thread
Just say Yes!
Come on baby come to me
Think how excellent our life could be
Just say Yes!
I should know
Just how hard it is to let it show
But here we go
Put your heart out on the line
If you take a look inside and you find
That you think you could love me
We don’t have to wait a minute
So just reach out and touch me
We don’t have to waste no time
If you just say Yes!
Fight with me right through the fear
Give the answer that I want to hear
Just say Yes!
Standing there in disbelief
Say something to me before you leave
Just say Yes!
Don’t give it a second thought
If it don’t happen now it just might not

Workplace Romance
09:19
|
|||
Stealing kisses in the copy room
After noon
On our coffee break
No desk between us we can let it bloom
It’s opportune
So let’s make a mistake
Oh, let’s have a workplace romance
A secret workplace romance
We’d stay out of water cooler talk
If we walk
In through different doors
I’d take an extra lap around the block
And I’d clock
In at 9:04
Oh, let’s have a workplace romance
A secret workplace romance
With the fake plants and idle chat
Lunch alone at a screen
The only pulse is the ticking on the wall
That is, until you walk in
And there the separation ends
If work with you is where my life begins

bubble
02:26

Sometimes I want to be a bubble
A floating thin and fragile thing
Sometimes I want to be a bubble
So I can drift along the wind
And everyone could see right through me
While I cast colors like a spell
And maybe if they really focus
They’d see a little of themselves
Sometimes I want to be a bubble
I think that I could really help
Cause everybody loves a bubble
It brings all people so much joy
To be the first to lay a finger
And have their own beauty to destroy
What would I be but separation
Between some air and other air
Yet I’d be cause for celebration
Of all the nothingness that’s there
Sometimes I want to be a bubble
So I can get someone to care
And when you pop me
I just hope that you remember
Bubbles can appear anywhere
