One That Got Away

There’s five men sitting at the bar and
Reminiscing how they fell this far.
“If only I hadn’t let her go.”
Regret so thick it chokes,
But I won’t be there no, no, not this time
Because things can’t end the same way twice.
Don’t let her go old memories say,
Not another one that got away.
So you’ve finally found another chance to
Ease your troubled mind.
But you can’t help but recall the promise,
“Not another, not another time.”
Cause you’ve learned the hard way that it’s
Easier to fold,
Than to risk it on some long shot-in-the-dark,
And break the passive mold.
So why would you try to deny
Your maker’s most driven design.
Nostalgia is tempting but so is her love,
You’ve no option not to choose.
So what have you got to lose?
Now you’ve come to the conclusion you’ve no
Ignorance to blame.
All this self-pity has got you nowhere
But please continue, if such is your aim.
I won’t try to patronize your
Willingness to choose.
But eventually you’ll have to play the game,
Or let the game play you.
So why would you try to deny
Your maker’s most driven design.
Nostalgia is tempting but so is her love,
You’ve no option not to choose.
So what have you got to lose?
What are the odds I’ll even find it?
Zero if you never try.
If it was your heart on the line…
We all will have to risk it sometime.
What makes you think my luck will change?
It’s called having a little faith.
At least I’ve lost, than never loved,
My friend, have you no trust in God above.
There’s six men sitting, standing, swaying
Alone and missing the one that got away.
Until I regret I have to leave
There’s someone I have got to see.

Life Goes On
03:06
|

Another day a dissapointment, yeah its a pity that
your dreams for now it seems, that they weren't meant to be
and you swore it would get brighter, that you could change you but
these thirty silver pieces never shined so bright in this-
lightning flash just another cataclismic end, and you
might, be alrigtht, if you break this pessimistic trend, cause
sometimes the lightning lights your way
and even the rain could make you stay
and if the thunder calls your name
this much i know, is that life goes on.
and you've since convinced the world that, you can't be saved
but worry not, a broken clock gets it right twice a day.
youd have to break your addiction, to apathy
cause you'd be never better off, if you were six feet under as
thunder crash, lookin like apocalyptic night
and you'll try to survive, but you'll need an optimistic mind
sometimes the lightning lights your way
and even the rain could make you stay
and if the thunder calls your name
this much i know, is that life goes on.
when you feel, you're the jack of all trades, but never the master of one. you gotta
get it in line, change your own mind even your, blessings are better than none.
oh yeah...
sometimes the lightning lights your way
and even the rain could make you stay
and if the thunder calls your name
this much i know, is that life goes on.
this much i know, is that life goes on.

For Dorian

What day is it? Have i fallen asleep again?
And you're no longer with me, but can we at least pretend?
The twilight hour, will remind me of your face.
For in that setting moment, even the sky blushed at your grace
Is there any hope, for,
Us hopeless romantics id guess no.
But we'll look to the night, sky,
and pray that she's out there, that the future might,
make her mine.
They say the past, it won't get you very far.
So we'll take to the future, grab your dice and play the odds.
Deep down we know it's, not a test in catching clues.
If you are always searching, how will she ever find you?
Is there any hope, for,
Us hopeless romantics id guess no.
But we'll look to the night, sky,
and pray that she's out there, that the future might,
make her mine.
They say stop living in the past,
but the presents what we can't outlast.
we're told to take hold of our lives,
but we're not crossing these fine-lines.
We pray with every lot we cast,
our future's brighter than our past.
We're only risking everything,
so that's why we sing...

Complicated
05:30

I, tried to admire, Love’s simpleness
But I thought I knew better.
Behind, these eager eyes, I mapped it all out
To piece it together.
But It’s not complicated.
Only as tough, as we make it.
We’re only trying to find,
Just someone to help pass the time.
These facts, figures, and maps, had done me no good.
I figured I’d give it some time.
I tried, but in the blink of an eye, five years had past,
And I’m none the wiser
But time, won’t stop for me.
Long enough to make me see…
That It’s not complicated.
Only as tough, as we make it.
We’ve already found hope,
Because someday we’re all going home
So were all only trying to find
Just someone to help pass the time.
Would you, tell me the truth, have we no choice?
Of when or where we find it
Wait, is it too late, to admit im wrong?
Perhaps He’s got someone in mind
I find it too cliché
I was blind but now I say…
It’s not complicated,
As tough as we make it
Woo….
It’s not complicated
Safe to say you’ve made it
It’s not complicated.
Only as tough, as we make it.
We’ve already found hope,
Because someday we’re all going home
So were all only trying to find
Just someone to help pass the time.
Just someone to help pass the time.

a second chance, to start again. i hope this has a different end
i call it grace, call it a sign. for you who keeps me up all night
i'll have my doubts, you'll have your ways. to make me see that its ok.
a second chance, a second try. for me to get things right but
dont mind me, cause im the only thing between us darling
dont mind me, because im gonna get it right eventually
so here i am, over my head. it seems i found new life again.
Is this what i've, long heard about. For what I've searched but never found.
They say its right, when you just know. with all of this i'll start to show
her how i never, have to try. cause time is on our side but...
dont mind me, cause im the only thing between us darling
dont mind me, because im gonna get it right eventually
gonna tell her how she makes me feel
but i cant seem to put into words
how i can't believe that this is real
when i feel my arms wrap around hers
try to find just what she sees in me
pray she doesnt change her line of sight
i'll try to be the best that i can be,
so long as you dont mind...
dont mind me, cause you're the only one i see
and im trying to break free of failing,
dont mind me, cause im the only thing between us darling
dont mind me, because im gonna get it right, eventually.

Fortunate Anomaly
04:01
|
|||
|
Sometimes I, realize I, epitomize cold blooded love.
And though I, just met you, girl your intentions are enough,
To make me feel like I belong.
To try and justify these reckless thoughts.
If you take one step forward I’ll take ten,
And all upon impulsive consciousness.
So is it circumstance or is it fate.
Oh am I making progress or am I chasing the straight.
Why do I lie awake, pouring over, what I think you thought of me.
I’ll always be the victim of this, Fortunate Anomaly.
I’ve known for, sometime now, that I’m in love with an idea
Of someone, beside me, companionless my biggest fear.
So give me hope, not certainty,
Cause the only one we need to fool is me.
And I’ll become the hopeful alchemist,
As I try to forge your love from nothingness.
So is it circumstance or is it fate.
Oh am I making progress or am I chasing the straight.
Why do I lie awake, pouring over, what I think you thought of me.
I’ll always be the victim of this, Fortunate Anomaly.
The best way, to end it
Is to start all over again.
So is it circumstance or is it fate.
Oh am I making progress or am I chasing the straight.
Why do I lie awake, pouring over, what I think you thought of me.
I’ll always be the victim of this, Fortunate Anomaly.

Funeral Voices
04:22

im trying to see what they see
but im finding it hard to believe
that He let this come to be
and allowed him to be taken from me
they say its about give and take
but im falling asleep at this wake
and dreaming of better times
when the truth, felt better than lies
i heard...
funeral voices exchanged
and despite all the choices we've made,
he was taken away
i heard...
funeral voices exchanged
to the tune of a boisterous debate,
i'm screaming out, now.
i'm singing loud, louder.
i finally saw the light through all the wrong
when he said its not goodbye its just so long.
and with all the faith and hope ill see you there
and with all the love i have ill see you there.

The Middle
03:47

I hadn't seen him in a while
5 or 6 years back a mile
in a now abandoned hall
my grandfather standing tall
he said come and follow me
ive soemthing you need to see
i'd say that its long over due
and has a lot to do with you
your in the middle son
nothing to do that you havent done
why would you rush waht youve already won
learning more with every turn
taught me things id never learn
you're only lost when you lose faith
that your father knows the way
with that he stopped outside a door
she'll be waiting here for sure
when i awoke, my simple prayer
that i could find my way back there
you've got your right hand, in the sky and
your left foot over the edge
faith isnt an ultimatum.
its been charted, since it started
but you havent reached the end
so show a little faith, son.
your in the middle son
nothing to do that you havent done
why would you rush waht youve already won
cause in the end you'll know for sure,
that your in the middle son
no longer beginning but you're not yet done
why would you rush waht youve already won
cause in the end you'll know for sure,
that you've found the one

Carpe Amor
06:02

I felt that wind blowing, from across west main.
And it kind of, reminded me of whence I came.
But with all of my skeletons buried below,
I realized the future might come and go.
Those red leaves are falling, all upon my life,
But when that tree goes barren, we’ll be out of time.
So gather your roses, honey while you may,
And come here with me, oh come here and stay.
Watch the time, watch it fly,
But don’t let it pass you by.
Hear the sound, hit the ground,
But don’t make us wait around.
Cause there’s nothing that, I wouldn’t give,
To wait much longer then I’ll live.
Those sunbeams turn orange, as it fades to night.
But with twilight upon us, now it’s do or die.
So if you would stop living just to seize the day,
Then when this day ends, you and I would remain.
Watch the time, watch it fly,
But don’t let it pass you by.
Hear the sound, hit the ground,
But don’t make us wait around.
Cause there’s nothing that, I wouldn’t give,
To wait much longer…
Feel the wind, feel it blow,
Know that I, won’t let you go.
Though the leaves, and sun may fall,
Know that time, is nothing at all.
Cause there’s nothing that, I wouldn’t give,
To wait much longer then I’ll live.

City Skyline
04:11

The city skyline, reflects in your eyes.
think of the times i wasnt lost in rhyme.
My words so careful, when picked from a scarce well
I can hardly tell, if I chose them or they're choosing me.
what started as impersonation, became my only way to speak
and with a little inspiration, i'll scream it out, let no one sleep tonight.
though the story of my life had many chapters, i
thought youd like to know that youre my ever after.
cause a love worth fighting for, is a love worth writing for.
Im a master of accepting my fate, but all of thats about to change
cause ive got a girl out there and ill never, ill never be the same.
cause everytime i see your face the words come crashing down, and
all the melodies descend to fill my world with sound.
and youre all around.
I search streets for words after midnight, theyre defined by the streetlight
cause a love worth fighting for, is a love worth writing for.
Suburban sunset, the night we first met,
few other things in life, could change the right to the left
I search streets for words after midnight, theyre defined by the streetlight
cause a love worth fighting for, is a love worth writing for.
and the streets yeah they scream almost, as i follow the lamp-post, home.

Did you know, how long.
this songs been coming and
could you feel, how strong
that i've been wanting, to
tell all the ones that i love.
where the words have been coming from.
you teach us to love, oh lord ever strong,
with a simple command just to passit along
I'm not great with words so im sending you all this song...
be a voice in the desert proclaiming out loud, i wont
be another complacent face in the crowd. Im a-
way from you now but im coming home soon,
but for now im content to talk, to talk with you.
