Days Like This 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Days like this they pay the rent But they don’t do much for confidence And for fear of sinking into the couch I can’t help but want to get out Venture somewhere between craziness and just laziness Try to calm my nervousness Move in close to grab your hips Focus on this bliss Run my fingers through your hair And somehow get lost in there Days like this are heaven sent when you wake up And your body's all spent from sharing someone’s mind and their body spend hours and hours and days and days remembering the movement of our embrace sometime end up at home try to call you on the phone turns out that you’ve moved on and I’m all alone Days like this are so hectic When you wake up and you feel like shit Recovering from a night’s confusion Create an illusion of you in my mind Try to leave that place behind Days like this the pay the rent But they don’t do much for confidence

We Are The Things That Matter 03:22
lyrics

Sometimes I lock myself in my room And throw away the key Let myself go crazy Spin the room for an hour or two Let it all come unglued Come out feeling brand new Just some time for a little laughter Just some time for some idle chatter We are the things that really matter We’ll be here now and we’ll stay here forever after Late night Walk out on the roof Stare down a new moon See the stars reflect in our eyes Hope they reflect in my words as I recite There’s no reaching kid We are one with the stars Doesn’t this feel like forever and the worlds all ours Just some time for a little laughter Just some time for some idle chatter We are the things that really matter We’ll be here now and we’ll stay here forever after With a heart filled with the right notes And a mind filled with the right tones And a path by god And a mind all our own Lets walk this line and see What comes out in due time Just some time for a little laughter Just some time for some idle chatter We are the things that really matter We’ll be here now and we’ll stay here forever after

Wish This Guitar Was You 04:40
lyrics

Tonight I really didn’t want to pick up the guitar I’d rather be where you are But tonight these strings will serve as a place holder And this wooden body as a poor excuse for a shoulder I guess what I’m saying is that I wish this guitar was you Sometimes I see your face come from the blue Thought of you are something I’ll never get through Oh how I wish this guitar was you And sometimes I can see your eyes When I look down at these wood grain stripes And as these strings ring I can hear your voice gently sing I guess what I’m saying is that I wish this guitar was you Sometimes I see your face come from the blue Thought of you are something I’ll never get through Oh how I wish this guitar was you And as I reach for this cup of tea The warmth is your breath The curls from the steam Are your hair And you’re not there I guess what I’m saying is that I wish this guitar was you Sometimes I see your face come from the blue Thought of you are something I’ll never get through Oh how I wish this guitar was you

Home or Go 04:32
lyrics

Its cold out Insides feeling worn down again Just can’t wait to Get home to See you my friend Cause your smile makes my everyday And I guess that’s all I needed anyway We got everything we need Here in this small town You can stay right here with me call it home now Or we could go run away and leave Throw it all down Find someplace more exciting To go and run around Because I know there are places where Electric light fills the street every night And I want that feeling Flowing through me So when I sing All you’ll see is pure light beams I wanted to know if you wanted let these dreams fly Tonight We got everything we need Here in this small town You can stay right here with me call it home now Or we could go run away and leave Throw it all down Find someplace more exciting To go and run around I’ve seen the visions Coming from your eyes Your voice projector into my mind So I was wondering if you wanted to take this hand of mine And let these dreams fly Tonight Your smile makes my everyday And I guess that’s all I needed anyway We got everything we need Here in this small town You can stay right here with me call it home now Or we could go run away and leave Throw it all down Find someplace more exciting To go and run around

Little Simple Things 02:30
lyrics
buy track
You come in late from a night on the town You make your way upstairs and you lay yourself down Me myself I’m just laying on the couch Thinking about all this energy we have to get out I sit and I think for about an hour Then I do the same myself It’s the simple things that I’ll never miss It’s the little things that make it worth it to exist It’s you and me kid and that’s what I’ll insist And life is a river and it flows like this You wake up early in the morn The sun is up and we’re all basking in the glow I ask you what you did last night You said you went out and had yourself a time Don’t spare any detail in the slight And it sounds like you had a good time alright And it feels like the world is all mine It’s the simple things that I’ll never miss It’s the little things that make it worth it to exist It’s you and me kid and that’s what I’ll insist And life is a river and it flows like this You come in late from a night at work We sit and we have ourselves a drink on the porch Sitting and think about what this could be for And I say it doesn’t matter as long as its not a bore If every night ends like this then I can’t ask for anymore It’s the simple things that I’ll never miss It’s the little things that make it worth it to exist It’s you and me kid and that’s what I’ll insist And life is a river and it flows like this

about

These were written by myself on acoustic guitar over the course of three years, but recorded in two weeks.Some songs were written for a band. I have a lot of songs that did not make this recording, which is close to a demo tape. All of them were written just for fun. I tried to send some positive messages and just happened to send some bluesy, punk ones as well. I hope someone finds depth, connection, or rhythm and enjoys the songs.
