Never Fall in Love

you'll never fall in love
because you don't believe in it, it's true
you'll never fall in love
the words just seem meaningless to you
but how do date someone
who could never potentially say those magic three words
"I love you......"
I love you. . . . .
I love you . . . . . . .
I love you . . .
it's people like you, that make it rain on a clear day
and it's people like you, who watch fox news everyday.
you'll never fall in love
because you don't believe in it ,it s true
you'll never fall in love
the words just seem meaningless to you.
And one day you'll end up alone
and you'll die, choking on a fish bone
and you'll ask why didn't I ever say those magic three words. . .

if you think all is lost here in jacksonville, i've got a little story to tell you
right across the street
there's a cute couple i think you'd like to meet
this is their sotyr i think it's kidn of sweet
they met on the fourth of july
down there in riverside
while i played a little tune nearby
she was wearing short shorts
and he was wearing his old beat up converse shoes
he said wouldjn't you like to go for a couple of beers
and she said 'why not' i'd love a cold one
so they got down to it, they danced.
they discussed things like-their future romance.
and their favorite beatles song.
how whiskey was their choice of drink,
and people in sandles make them sick
it was the beginning of it all
they worked out a plan, exchanged numbers
he kissed her on the hand, and she said
'i hope to see you again i had a great time'
he called her the next day, and took her to a bbq
where she got introduced to the whole crew
and they laughed and they danced
and they talked about, how rare it is to meet somebody
that you, connect with without even trying.
they spent the whole night together,
and they made love for their first time ever
underneath jacksonville's starry skies
now that is their story short and sweet.
it's helped me to realize, that everything
in jacksonville isn't just a pack of lies
there's hope if we're willing to stick with it
and you can meet someone who doesn't make you sick
and share the good times while we still have them
and you can laugh, you can talk, you can dance
you can even start a new romance
all here in jacksonville.

It's hard to move on, when you know you had the best
and it's hard to move on, when you're heart won't stay
in your chest
and all those memories, all come flooding back,
every single second of the day.
I'm so tired of being tired of missing you
I'm so tired of wishing you were here with me.
We can make amends, I would take you carefully
Just hold my hand, forgive everything.
Pardon my care, I'd put the pieces back into one.
You've moved along there, I try to avoid where we'd become.
Lovers, and friend's, the secrets you told me about your
past, are all that I have left to bare.
and I'm so tired of being tired of missing you
I'm so tired of wishing you were here with me.
I'd do it again, rewrite the story with a new end
Replacing the things that went wrong.
They say time will heal it all, but I don't want to move
now. even with days as dark as these.
Erase your name a thousand times and my mind is still
not clear. I'd close my eyes and wish you were here.

Call Me
03:57
|

you know i don't like it when you
tell me how great i am
and you kiss me with those lips
and tell me you'll call me the next day
you know i don't like it when you get my ego up there
and play with my hair while telling me i'm amazing
don't tell me you'll call me the next day
if you don't plan to that's kind of gay
and i think you should go to hell
cause people that don't call back are. .
not okay in my book
you need to be more grown up
and don't tell people lies
you suck at life
and can't be a part of mine
so get the hell out of here
I never want you near
My body again.
your a loser, the end.
don't try to tell me you were busy
because if you were so busy
you wouldn't have wasted your time
talking to me last night.
don't tell me that you're life is crazy
because i know a life that's crazy
it's mine, but I still make time to call you
don't tell me you'll call me the next day
if you don't plan to that's kind of gay
and i think you should go to hell
cause people that don't call back are. .
not okay in my book
you need to be more grown up
and don't tell people lies
you suck at life
and can't be a part of mine
so get the hell out of here
I never want you near
My body again.
your a loser, the end.
I"m sorry to disclose this in a song.
but, you know you did me wrong
and there can't be more people like this
thinking it's okay to get away with this diss

For You

you say you like my smile
i say i like yours too
it's been this way for awhile
i guess that why, we do what we do
all the things we've done
and all the things we'll do
cause it's just you and I
and I think, that will do
and i'm gonna love you
i'm gonna love you
you've got the best of me
i'm gonna love you i'm gonna love you
i'll let the rest be up to you
and i'm gonna love you
i'm gonna love you
it's not over - it's not over
until we close our eyes
and go six feet under, or over
You let me wrap you in yarn.
and we play fight all day long
dress up exceptionally
and dance until the night turns to dawn
push me on the swing
and then we meet for a kiss down the street
buy ourselves matching mood rings
pretend we're engaged
throw a ceremony

I"m single it seems
Just as single can be
It can be so lonely, tedious, and boring
Wake up all alone.
Go to work then come home.
Make my dinner by myself and have a beer
Sure I can go on dates everyday
See whomever I wish to see
But when I go home.
It's me all alone.
When I wish I could somebody's we

Waking up @ 3
This is me, my life
Boundaries that you can't handle.
Test me, love me, kiss me, touch me.
Confuse me with hazes from your night.
Talk, well talk, minutes into hours.
Words that trail into air, with countless repetitions.
My brain so soft from stress and frustration.
Your face it's been misleading.
Worth what's worth, these lies.
Broken trusts and walls, your age it isn't fitting.
Look let's look at this time.
Chop it up to learning, love and pain aren't worth your fame.

As I watched autumn fall
Alone with you, far away.
Clarity blew my way,
In the form of winter's call.
Clenching my winter coat tight.
I dreamt of memories long ago.
Bodies entwined with lust.
Sweating our reservations away.
You looked at me.
I walked away, and you followed.
Both of us wondering should we follow or go?
I knew you then, a boy so shallow and awkward.
Groping to feelings and bodies and washing our eyes closed.
First of our firsts, we cried with our mouths.
Bringing emotions, neither knew we had.
Forgetting all social interactions, and problems.
Our bubble, our world our existence was solo
Some asked us then, or told us our love was fleeting
That both our hearts weren't beating, it was only a trick.
His prick of my loins, the addiction was mearly a symptom.
Our problem much bigger than we were willing to admit.
We laughed at them then.
Telling them our love was a shadow.
Of a story too monumental for such kids.
Soon they would find, each year in passing.
Our epic tale to be everlasting.
As months blew past,
I watched him grow smaller.
A fraction of the boy, whom my heart had fallen fast for.
Ignoring the signs, and believing we were immortal
Our future plans, he'd never show up for.
i looked at him,
watching him die slowly
in the hospital bed that ate him whole.
he told me then, he would never be the same.
He'd haunt me for sure, but for me not to be afraid.

Ghosts

Shhh she said as we walked into the room.
The ghosts will see us if we talk.
At First I didn't see them, just their shadows on the floor.
Our shadows gone, their shadows here.
Mother's voice in my head, I won't step on a crack.
Cries in the doorways and broken window-panes.
I can smell her the mix of flowers and the faint smell of milk on her breath.
If I stand still she'd turn around with the question 'why' in her face. I wouldn't do it to her again.
Our Ghosts trail us, but we try to ignore them
Our ghosts visit and I kiss her to show I don't care
Our ghosts walking through us everyday, making sure we don't forget.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
When she wakes up each morning I breathe a sigh of relief.
I'd put her socks on if she'd ask me to, just to have her remember it when she steps in a puddle later.
Mother's voice in my head, I won't step on a crack.
She's the only one I'd ever get close enough to let break my heart.
Our Ghosts ride our train, try to make us feel their pain
Our Ghosts shake hands, conspiring to torment us again.
Our Ghosts, walking through us everyday, making sure we don't forget.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
If there is something I can do to keep them from getting to you, I'd do it.
If there is something I can do, I'd wait one thousand years, if I had to. i'd do it.
If there was something I could do, but they know they already won.
Goodbye,goodbye,goodbye
