When do I fall in love?
Every morning at five
You toss and you turn
Barely open your eyes
Smile at me and roll over
Onto your other side
That’s when I fall in love
Every morning at five
When do I fall in love?
When you walk through the door
You’ve been gone a few days
Sometimes a few more
This house like a prison
Becomes the home I adore
That’s when I fall in love
When you walk through the door
Oh yeah, and a little every day, a little bit every day
When do I fall in love?
On every long summers drive
The world melts away
Miles and miles, side by side
No matter where this road ends
I’m along for the ride
That’s when I fall in love
Every long summers drive
That’s when I fall in love
Every morning at five
That’s when I fall in love
When you walk through the door

A Companionable Silence
04:17
|
|||
|
I’m in my favorite chair
You’re in your place on couch
The dogs are roaming around the house
We’re settled in for the night
Content and quiet
This companionable silence
We’ve said all there is to say
For right now anyway
With you here beside me
It’s the perfect way to end today
And any day, any day, any day
Now the days seem different
How about you?
Less to answer for, less to prove
All this hustle didn’t amount to much
It turns out it didn’t have to
Locked away in lockdown
Learned a few things about
What we need and what we live do without
Settled in for the night
Content and quiet, so quiet

I guess I haven’t fooled you much
I should just own up to the fact that I
Feel a little bit lost, been a little bit off
We haven’t been quite here before
Maybe we’re just surprised
That we could be surprised anymore
Today we walked the shore
Our faces to the sun
Tonight the clouds roll in over the canyon
The tide’s about to turn
And the rain is bound to come
The rain is gonna come
Not really sure what we’re facing now
Feels like uncharted ground
Feels like trouble
Of the first degree
Guess we’ll wait and see
Now it’s late, tell me should I go
Was there something more
I supposed to know,
That I was supposed to be?
Probably
All these broken pieces, left to start again
All these loose ends to defend
I will not let them get the best of me
I guess we’ll wait and see

Watered Down
03:47
|
|||
|
Wide awake late at night
It’s so quiet you can hear the sound
Of ice melting in a glass
Of a drink well-watered down
These days, these days
I’m just working to get by
My prospects pretty thin
My throat awfully dry
I’m still trying, I’m still waiting for the right time
To push in from the outside to a place I haven’t yet found
(Trying to keep my head above ground)
I’m still trying, I’m still walking that straight line
But these days, these days, this life feels watered down
It’s pitch black out here tonight
That’s all right because there’s nothing much to see
Just a shell of a man
Who’s pretty tired of being me
The summer sun comes up real early
Last night I had demons to drown
I wake up here on the front porch
In a life well-watered down

Up the coast
It’s been a long day
We’ve plans tonight
Just about hour’s drive
Back the other way
We’ll see my folks
We’ll see my family
Some that are close
Others in a crowded room
Would be strangers to me
But oh, I do love you
Like the sun loves the days
On those last shirt- sleeved (perfect) evenings
As the summer fades away
When it feels like everything’s about to change
(Again)
At a long table
The generations sit in a in line
I feel a little like I missed out
But then again, I feel a little more like it all worked out just fine

Abstract Art
03:44
|

Oil on canvas
Abstract art
In this series of events with no center
A splash of color, no soul, no heart
All sharp lines and angles
More clever than smart
You come on so strong
Overplay the part
Of course, you lose steam in the middle
When you make a mess right from the start
You were just unkind the whole time you thought you were playing it smart
Were you just a façade all along?
A faint sirens call
Watching me fall
Down this endless hall
A sad story in parts
Abstract art
The warmth of your breath
On a cool summer night
Mad shadows dance around your silhouettes
Out of my depth
Nearly out of my mind
Out of my league right from the outset
You never tire of waiting around
For miracles
For that thing that’s so beyond unlikely
So fantastically improbable
When it was just sleight of hand
No magic there at all
Was I just a façade all along?
A dimly lit frame
Hanging on a blank wall
Barely noticed at all
Your obscure counterpart
We were wrong from the start
And so, we depart
Abstract art

I'll Take You On
04:53
|
|||
|
By the way, there’s something I need you to know
Right here as the night goes quiet and the light turns soft and low
I’ve felt this way for a while, but I didn’t dare let it show
I’ll take you on
I’ve been tired, a little ragged and worn
And for a while now, I’ve felt sober and forlorn
But now you’re in my heart and I feel like I’ve been reborn
I’ll take you on
No one in their right mind wants to be alone
This just feels so right, like something I should have known
We could start a life, we could make a home
We could be at home
Do you ever feel like you’re drifting at sea
In a world that’s turned darker than it need be
But I’m better now, you know you do good things for me
Will you take me on?

The Other Shoe
03:18
|
|||
|
I can’t fix anything awake at 3am
And I just can’t count anymore sheep
When these feelings of dread that invade my head
Are intent on disturbing my sleep
Once my thoughts get to racing
I just can’t make them stop/ My head spins like a top
Through all these hours wasted waiting
For the other shoe to drop
Fear creeps up in the night without warning
Worry takes over my mind
It’ll be mostly forgotten by morning
And when I went to bed I was just fine
(With a Xanax and a bottle of wine)
I’m littered with doubt
What am I worried about?
Mostly self-inflicted torment
Why do I agonize?
Relax close your eyes
Try to stay in the moment
Damn it to hell
This ain’t gonna end well
I just can’t turn it around
Seems I’ll never be free
From this anxiety
Until they plant me in the ground

Do It All Again
05:07
|
|||
|
If I had to
Do it all again
I’d lay me down
In the tall grass
I’d shield my face
From this ugliness
I’d let my mind
Take a hard pass
It’s not too late
To walk away
And to be somebody else
It’s not let late
To let you go
And get over myself
I’m not sorry
And I was never yours
You won’t push me
Around anymore
If they gave me another shot
I’d wave it past
I’d go back to bed
What makes you think
You have anything
That you could ever hold over my head?
If I had to it all again
I’d build a boat
I’d float downstream
A fantasy
An opportunity
An island
A beautiful dream

What Did I Say?
03:56
|
|||
|
I’d been summoned
I should have seen it coming
I’d been notified
To a subtle change in the air
From out of nowhere
Something shifting inside
These are furious seasons
I see you searching for reasons
To face the day
I’ve never stopped trying
To be the one you rely on
But now I feel like I’m in your way
What did I say?
I’m tired of holding my tongue
Watching us fade away
You and me
We were a sweet, simple song
Tell me, when did we grow tired of singing along?
You can slip out the back
Slide off track
Go do what you must
But the stakes they are higher
And you’re playing with fire
You it’s just dangerous
I don’t want to discount your feelings
Or make you the villain
It’s not cut and dry
But I would like to know
Darling where did you go and
Why, tell me why, tell me why?

It’s just past midday when the sun disappears
She was born on the shortest day of the year
Here in the Northern hemisphere
It’s an early night
As the light fades from view
Tomorrow starts anew
With just a minute or two
More sunlight
Most of her friends are away
It being so close to Xmas day
Plus no one expected that the rain
Would fall this hard
Tonight, soaked through
But tomorrow starts anew
With just a minute or two
More sunlight
The one that I hold most dear
Was born on the shortest day of the year
This one filled with its share of doubt and fear
To get through
But right on cue
The new year is in view
And we’re looking forward to
About a million things to do
And all the fun that will ensue
Under these LA skies of blue
Yeah, we’re gonna pull through
You know, tomorrow starts anew
With just a minute or two
More sunlight
