Despite all of my brazen lyrics you fell for me
And we were like a thousand miles apart for weeks
Remember El Paso your skin it warmed its streets
Your selfless passion claimed my heart for keeps
Come on down come on down
In ties and wedding gowns
Sweet words sweet sounds
Are simply paramount
Come on down come on down
Don’t you know that everything will be fine, everything will be just fine
I’ve got no jitters got no qualms
No fretting nerves or sweating palms
The sun is shining where I see
While clouds surround you and me
I’m not shaky I’m not taut
I’m not stressed Or overthought
Patient singing all my complaints about devotion
singing out jokes about fish in the ocean
All the lonely songs and the stories I wrote
Filling up the black and white and purple and gold
Never find me lacking when there’s misery involved
Now I write what it’s like to become old
and all the things I wanna say oh I have waited for this day

Song Life

I keep my appetite I sleep so well at night
The plight of sleight of hand is mighty white light
I got no spite dear although you might hear
A fight bite appear as a souvenir
Sometimes I mean it, the cruel things I’m thinking
Sometimes I keep it quiet don’t speak it
I shy from sunlight and ultravilight
With skin like mine you find time to hide your face
I’ve got my own right I live the song life
I can’t be bothered by that when there’s bass
I don’t even know if I’ll sing another song get it right or get it wrong but I know I belong to you
Don’t you even know can’t you even see all the signs of life they’re not just make believe
Gather up your thoughts, gather up your things spread across the stars the distant galaxies

Love is Like

If I had a dream for all the pretty girls I’ve seen in love
I’d get no sleep but I wouldn’t lie awake at all
I’d be dancing with you outside a shop or two in France
I’d be flying with her through the clouds to the distant lands
Cause love is like a breeze
swimming through trees
swimming through the vagueness of my dreams
Love is like a heartbeat heard under the ocean
Love is like a bird that never flies home
Love is like a sunbeam warm from sweet emotion
Love is like a friend when you thought you were alone
Love is like Oh
And If I made a face for every kiss and warm embrace from you
You’d see my pearly whites from the smile I wear through and through
I was falling in love in a deep blue aquarium
I was stealing my kisses in the darkness of underground

30 Grand

Bring him home make it right I could dance with you all night
I didn't know that they were all made out of the purest gold
Silver lining in the sky makes me feel like I could cry
All I want to do is cry
Broken families
Love without boundaries
O I see him while he’s growing
And I want him to know that he is loved
I’ve never cared for anyone I’m not the easiest to love
There’s probably someone in this whole wide world who
Is not as quite as scared as me with all this harmful fantasy
That you’ll just love me from the first sight darling
Cause I’m so scared and unprepared with thoughts and feelings rarely shared I’m so sorry quiet there
And I say wait to every face with curling lips and raising age but they’re all just helpless babes
And when I know will you know will we ever get to go to the one for us was made.
With their faces ever changing they all got one thing all in common
Their love is like an ocean but they’re drowning at the bottom
Oh sometimes I don’t what God wants me to see
And sweetheart with her heart as wide as the pacific ocean
Wants to love every single one with sweet emotion
oh its 30 grand just to bring him back home

Marches & Octobers
03:17

I suppose I suppose, though I’m not ready to go
I love my wife I love my life
I’d miss the sun and the snow
I love the green of the sea
The reds in her the blues in me
And I never even seen the Mississippi
I concede I concede, I don’t know what’s best for me
I want to live I want to give
But if it’s time, I will leave
I’ll leave my love to my mother
Leave my voice to my brother
So they never have to wonder what I’d say
I would say I would say don’t let my death get in your way
Smile a little while
Before the end comes your way
Before you slip into the ether
From a cancer or a fever
And if you never die of either you’ll die grey
So I’ll see o I’ll see what it’s like on bended knee
With their many eyes and their great big cries
Singing holy
Just promise me she’ll be fine
Her tears will stop in all due time
Show your love so whole and kind and sweet
Yes I know Yes I know, you’re the God of all I own
My life is yours alone as are my bones
And I have seen them die of cancer
Seen their wives cured of anger
And I know you’ll be her anchor when in gone
I just want this to be over
I want Marches and Octobers
Marches and Octobers all the more
I want Aprils and Septembers
July 4ths and 25ths of December
Hot hot summers and frozen ice winters.
