jessica remember when we first met?
we were a little drunk, I bet but we had fun
the only one to awake a child in my mind
I smile all the time I'm with you
and when the sun falls
you will be the moon
and you will set too soon for me
jessica
the only girl with the pretty sunflower eyes
radiating happy summer vibes all around
jessica, the sweetest little georgia peach
hanging somewhere I may never reach but I'll try
and when the sun falls
you will be the moon
and you will set too soon for me

rotting on the vine

kicking down hot pavement
wondering where my purpose went
where's the youth I used to be?
I saw the sun now I can't see
lift the light on your back
erase all the things you lack
one more year free of fear
means fearful days are drawing near
I drink the night like bitter wine
hanging here, rotting on the vine
you don't know what you're worth
if you kill the things that you gave birth
in darkest night day begins
before the sun blinds again

office androids
02:56
|
|||
|
the lifeless empty glow of the screen
lights the faces trying to see
the meaning in their tedious jobs
without thinking they’re getting robbed
by some suit
the lonesome gray cubes wall to wall
make cold connections in conference calls
tallest buildings would tremble and shake
if office androids dared to awake
and embrace chaos

graduation day
the sunny month of may
I bought fancy degree
now I think that I'm somebody
I'm not
unsatisfied
I want everything I can't buy
growing old so slow
and knowing I don't know
a thing about making bread
or a word that my dad said
to me
unsatisfied
I feel like a man-child now
that I'm twenty something
working all the time
I guess I guess I'm doing fine
never settling in one place
I live alone in my guitar case
unsatisfied
moving all of the time
getting nowhere

long way home
03:13
|
|||
|
three o clock in the morning and there’s a sea of stars
rolling over the evening, speeding cars
follow the red lights and motor moans
running away from cell phones
I took the long way home
I searched the pavement for the soul of the road
found my heart was overgrown
with too many voices too many eyes
talking at me telling lies
I took the long way home
you’re so faraway and still too near
reach out to me and I'll steer clear
I’m never slowing down my wheels to see the chrome
turn on the cruise control forever I will roam
I took the long way home
