All That's Left
Once upon a time,
I held you close
and you were mine.
Then we fell apart,
I lost your heart,
my world’s gone dark.
I tried
to find my way
back to you again,
that warm embrace.
Of memories.
Lock them up
And throw away the key.
Memories,
a world within an empty sky.

Happy
Salt in the air.
Feet in the sand.
The sound of your voice,
warmth of your hand,
Makes me happy.
Ascent and descent.
Beginnings and ends.
As long as we’re here
and everything’s there.
Makes me happy.
Drifting into the blue.
Carried away by the sound of the waves.

It Matters Not
The sky is falling.
Cant take our eyes off it.
The sea is rising.
Holding our breath for it.
Love and hate,
tangled and intertwined.
Forever in a bind,
till the end of time.
Nothing to understand.
We fail to comprehend
that nothing matters anymore.
There’s no writing on the wall.
Nothing matters anymore.
All just here until we’re not.
Nothing matters anymore.
We’re all that matters.

My Friend
I've always been socially awkward.
So I’m glad I got to be your friend.
With you around my days all feel shorter.
Won't you please talk to me again.
Can't explain the feeling I’m under.
Nor walk out from the cloud over my head.
And I know our days are all numbered.
Won't you please let me in again.
Looking back at the mountains we’ve conquered.
Counting all the storms that we survived.
It sure has been a hell of a ride.
Won't you please walk with me again.

Words Don't Mean a Thing
You know how they say,
it's been a pleasure.
Although it ended in something of a train wreck.
You’ve all heard them say,
don't be a stranger.
Although it's so clear
They don't want you to linger.
Words can tear us apart..
words pierce right through your heart
You know when they say
Let's agree to disagree.
They might as well
just have given you the finger.
Did I hear you say
this song is quite good?
But I can see,
it's putting you to sleep.
Words can tear us apart.
Words fail us from the start.
Words don't mean a thing.

One for the road
Just like that,
I left her in the rain.
I thought i saw her shed a tear.
I know things don't have feelings.
Just projecting my own pain.
10 years of joy.
Money all down the drain.
Gone in a blink.
10 years of joy.
Never again.
You know situations change.
And I'm sad to see you go.
Thanks for taking care of us.
I hope you'll find the road again.
10 years of joy.
Money all down the drain.
Gone in a blink.
10 years of joy.
Though you’re small,
you had a big heart.
You drove like the wind,
making me grin.
You worked hard.
Never needed a fix.
You drove like the wind,
making me grin.
So here’s one for the road.

Star Stuff
These thoughts,
they come to me at night.
And sometimes
when I'm awake.
Childhood
Insecurities.
What are we?
Where are we going?
Though I know by now.
We’re going nowhere.
And I'll never
see you again.
I makes me sad.
But I’m glad
to be alive.
To be alive and kicking.
Just riding on the stars x2
Hang on for our dear lives
Through the galactic rodeo.
Just riding on the stars x2
Let go of our dear lives
to the galactic rodeo.

Wannabe
When I was young,
I had a plan.
I wanna be in a rock and roll band.
Hair in the wind, arms in the air.
I wanna be big in japan.
Got to believe I got to believe x2
That I can make it.
Living the dream,
living on air.
I got to be in a rock and roll band.
But I’m high as a kite and I can’t keep in time.
Just wanna be a part of the scene.
Got to believe I got to believe x2
That I can fake it.
Now that I’m old
I have been told (many times)
I piss in the wind in my rock and roll band.
What do they know,
they dont understand.
I give myself a rating of 10.
Got to believe you got to believe x2
That I can take it.

Mango Tree
I am just a mango tree.
I've stood here long,
long before your time.
I have seen better days.
And I don’t bear fruit as often as before.
But you can come into my shadow.
Come into my shadow.
I see you every morning.
Looking for signs of life somewhere in my crown.
We like it when the birds arrive.
Do you find they’re here less often as before?
Come into my shadow. x2
And when the rain drops fall,
we surrender to the sound.
And as the sun comes out,
I hope to see you here again.
I am just a mango tree.
I've stood here long,
long before your time.
