give it some time in the morning
give it some time in the evening
wait until tomorrow comes
soon you’ll find you’re on your own
cancel your plans
hold your own hand
be the only you you can
it’s good enough
it’s good enough
no one’s gonna hold you
no one’s gonna hold you
no one’s gonna hold you accountable again
i’m taking care of myself now
prioritizing my let downs
staying in and staying out
of everything, that’s what it’s all about
cancel your plans
they’ll understand
til Saturn finally returns
it’s good enough
it’s good enough
just focus on your breathing and
breathe in and out nice and slow
content can be deceiving
reserve your heart for no one
the power of no
the power of no
cancel your plans
hold your own hand
cancel your plans
one person band
enneagram
cancel your plans
they’ll understand
they’ll understand
no one’s gonna hold you
no one’s gonna hold you
Hasn’t anybody told you?
no one’s gonna hold you accountable again

harboring a feeling
if only for the night
occasionally stealing
a glance between the color changing
light on our feet and dancing to
the rhythm of the scene
you and me are not in love
and we may never be
but i’ve decided to take a walk
on the wilder side of empty talk
round the corner there and up the block in
do you wanna go?
Canadian tuxedo worn accidentally
You do a good Shania in leopard print and slightly of key
To karaoke is only letting go
you and me are not in love
But hey you never know?
i’ve decided to take a walk
on the wilder side of empty talk
round the corner there and up the block
do you wanna go?
Don’t know where we are but i don’t mind
I’ll take any of your wasted time
Don’t you know we only have so much?
do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
Easy conversation
Like there’s nowhere else to be
We could trace our every step
And still not know just where our feet will lead
i’ve decided to take a walk
on the wilder side of empty talk
round the corner there and up the block
do you wanna go?
We’ve been hanging on the borderline
But I would hang there with you anytime
Yes it’s clear we only have so much
do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?

I can’t even tell anymore
The waves are getting bigger
It’s getting harder to stand
It’s getting harder to see
All the days I used to wait at your door
In silent excitement
Now what was your address again?
What was your address again?
Maybe I could be your man
If was another man
If I was another man
Maybe then I could understand
If I was another man
Getting better isn’t part of the plan
I just let my condition worsen
Everybody wants their person
Now we’re coming to the end of the night
And our legs have been touching
Laughing, we have nothing in common except each other
We watch a scary movie
The plot line is ridiculous
Our acting is ridiculous
I shouldn’t be here
Maybe I could be your man
If was another man
If I was another man
Maybe then I could understand
If I was another man
Getting better isn’t part of the plan
I just let my condition worsen
Everybody wants their person
I would say I’m playing with you
But that would imply you’re not aware
And if this is worth leaning into
I probably need a year without you there
And if within that year or so, you find someone who already knows
Go, go
But maybe I could be your man
If was another man
If I was another man
Maybe then I could understand
If I was another man
Getting better isn’t part of the plan
I just let my condition worsen
Everybody wants their person

Misty raindrops come down
Leave a trail of fears around
I’m the one you can count on
You can always let me down
Yeah, you can let me down
I was never optimistic
Always clever, realistic
Not a glass is half full guy
Mostly empty inside
I tried to count on friends but i lost ‘em
I tried to lose my keys, but i found them
I’d trade those keys for one warm hand in mine
We’re all strangers when we die
Pleasing everyone’s my problem
You got problems? I’ll try and solve ‘em
I’ve been in the red so long
that I can’t tell what’s wrong from right from wrong
But I’d break the law just to see
You can break my heart to be free
No, I don’t mind, I’m happy just to ride
We’re all strangers when we die

I think about leaving
At least not hanging on
A quiet exit
Walking, not running from
Some early morning
Or maybe late at night
Whatever feels right
They say you know when you know
I think I know
But where will I go? Where will I go?
Time ain’t my friend, it just won’t slow
Where will I go? Where will I go?
I think about good times
At least the easy ones
I think of that city on the coast
Where I come from
I guess I could return
A lesson I ain’t learned
She might take me back
They say you know when you know
I think I know
But where will I go? Where will I go?
Time ain’t my friend, it just won’t slow
Where will I go? Where will I go?
In a dream
Endlessly
Out of reach, it seems
Money’s out
Cast about
In this crazy scene
Sometimes I feel I’m running out of steam
I’m talking backwards
Thinking sideways
No good ideas
Not yet
I guess I’m moving on
Maybe I’ll wind up
Where I belong
They say you know when you know
I think I know
But where will I go? Where will I go?
Time ain’t my friend, it just won’t slow
Where will I go? Where will I go?

Drawing A Line
02:13
|

i am drawing a line for myself
You gotta go outside sometimes
drawing a line for myself
Breathing in and out and in and out
We could go for a walk if you wanna
At the old air park, can you believe
They abandoned this place
Where planes used to take off and land
And now I’m holding your hand on the runaway
There’s a trail to the left
There’s a trail to the right
There’s a band playing somewhere later tonight
We could go or not
I think I’m on the list
We haven’t kissed, and that’s fine
i am drawing a line for myself
it’s good to take it slow sometimes
drawing a line for myself
Breathing in and out and in and out
I live in a room in a house, that’s what I’ve always done
Sometimes I wonder if I’m ever gonna own
property in this city
Or anywhere where I hang my proverbial hat
There’s a plan to the left, there’s a plan to do right
There’s a band playing somewhere later tonight
We could go or not
I think I’m on the list
We haven’t kissed, and that’s fine
I’m drawing a line for myself
Sometimes I sit in traffic
Drawing a line for myself
I should call my mother
Drawing a line for myself
Breathing in and out and in and out

I want you
Oh I want you
Say that you love me
I want to believe you
But you know the truth
And so do I
Hold your heart close
Give only a preview
Who knows if tomorrow
Will feel like tonight
But I want you
Oh I want you
Sometimes
I want you sometimes
I want you sometimes
Sometimes
You can come over
If you need a distraction
I know how you get
With too much time
but I’m curious to know
what would be your reaction
if I told you I can’t get you
off my mind
I want you
Oh I want you
Sometimes
I want you sometimes
I want you sometimes
Sometimes
Maybe I should know now
a little better
Hey maybe I should go now
but not forever
there is something that keeps me tied
never understood or satisfied
but sometimes
oh sometimes
I want you
sometimes

I’ve been singing your praises
I’ve been telling ‘em all it’s hard without you here
But don’t ask me, I can’t face it
I’ve been sleeping alone for the first time in years
I don’t wanna lose your love
I lost myself for you
Can’t help it when you call me up
I just wanna talk to you
When I go out
I go all out
Dancing with anyone who’ll dance with me
Before I know dear
Another round’s here
It’ll ease the pain
Til you show up in my dreams
I don’t wanna lose your love
I lost myself for you
Can’t help it when you call me up
I just wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna lose your love
I lost myself for you
I swear i didn’t dream this up
I’ve been awake the whole night through
I’d be lying if I said that I don’t think about you
I’ve been trying to find a way to live without you
But more often than not, you’re all that I’ve got
I don’t wanna lose your love
I swear i didn’t dream this up
I don’t wanna lose your love
I don’t wanna lose your love
I don’t wanna lose your love
So I’ve been singing your praises
I’ve been telling em all its hard without you here

Crossing The Line
03:02
|

Alcohol and cigarettes
are much much cheaper if you cross the state line
Late at night there is a chance
you might get stopped for rolling through a stop sign
Bored out of their minds
Killing some time
And you, you feel it too
That’s why you’re crossing the line
A very fine line
Crossing the line
A very very fine line
I was walking all alone
Underneath the stars and the silver moon
You saw me through your TV light
Pulled me in from the cold for a drink and a tune
Bored out of my mind
Killing some time
And you, you feel it too
That’s why you’re crossing the line
A very fine line
Crossing the line
A very very fine line
Early in the drive
Later in the park
There’s danger in the day
Maybe better when it’s dark
Making up the rules
You had me hold the keys
I was still in school
You were on your knees
I guess it’s only lying
If somebody sees
A missing watch still knows the time
An empty bottle like a fly on the wall
A trailer in the upper state
A phone still ringing
It’s the third missed call
Bored out of their minds
Killing some time
And you, you feel it too
That’s why you’re crossing the line
A very fine line
Crossing the line
A very very fine line

Hopeless
04:22
|
|||
|
it’s like we’ve never met
But you know we’ve met many times
The feeling’s different now
When you’re around
And your eyes meet mine
I pretend that I don’t care
But when I see you standing there
It’s hopeless
You’re singing all the songs
I used to sing growing up
You’re laughing at my jokes
You’re sitting close
You still don’t know
You pretend that you don’t care
But I saw you fix your hair
It’s hopeless
You know, it’s so hard to tell the truth these days
Even though it’s so in style
It’s so scary to commit these days
Even though you’re worth my while
You’re worth my while
You say you’re heading home
you’ve got an early morning
I say I should go too
Cause it’s the right thing to do
Hopeless
Hopeless

Moving Parts

Where’s the heat when you need it?
It’s colder than it should be
I removed the AC from my window
I wanna sweat you out of me
I was floating down my own path
A drunken butterfly
Just put me back in my cocoon
Where I can sleep it off tonight
Why not? is what I thought
I could always move again
Stardust and satellites
And we’re all made of moving parts
and broken hearts
And we’re all just floating
Where’s a friend when you need one?
I’m older than I should be
Maybe I should’ve stayed in Texas
You know, It’s pretty much its own country
I was floating down my own path
A ragged raconteur
Just put me back in my old cell
Where I know I’ll get the cure
Why not? is what I thought
I could always move again
Stardust and satellites
And we’re all made of moving parts
and broken hearts
And we’re all just floating
Take a page from a new book
A shot of something pure
Take a picture of a memory
Chances are, it’s blurred
