Song

Band Tee

I was young when I first met you
You caught my eye and I thought “you’re cute”
You looked at me and you felt it too
I took a leap with no parachute

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

You pick me up in your silver car
Take me away, I don’t care how far
Serenade me with your guitar
I’ll write you songs for my repertoire

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

In your arms you’re my sanctuary
You keep me safe like it’s necessary
And keep me warm when it’s January
I’m so thankful it’s you I married

[Chorus:]
Run away and bring me along
If I’m with you nothing can go wrong
You’ll sing with me to my favorite song
In your jeans with your band tee on

Note: This song is meant to be pop-country. I don’t usually write ‘happy’ things, and I scarcely write songs. However, I enjoyed how this turned out.

She’s Lost (Dan’s Song)

She’s sitting there alone and waiting
This world’s just something so degrading

And she’s lost
Confused
Misplaced
Been used
And she cannot find her place
So she’s losing it
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she loses you

And every time she hears your name
She holds it in thinking she’s the one to blame

So she’s angry
Forgetting
Holding in
And regretting
And she cannot find her face
In the mirror anymore
All she has is gone
And she’s fading
Today will be the day she misses you

She knows this will always have her heart
But she is ready to restart

She was lost
Confused
Misplaced
Was used
And she could not find her place
She was losing it
All she had was gone
She was fading
Today was the day she lost you

So she’s lonely
Forgetting
Holding in
And accepting
But she cannot find her place
In this world anymore
All she had is gone
But she’s growing
Today is the day she’s moving on

My old neighbor (Dan) and I occasionally worked on music together. One day he was struggling to come up with lyrics for a song he was working on, sent me this clip, and this was what I sent him back.

Lie To Me (Say It’s Gonna Be Alright)

July 1st, 2006

I’ve got this feeling you don’t like me
As a friend, the insanity
The strength to move on is gone
I’m not gonna be alright

So…

[Chorus:]
Lie to me, say it’s gonna be alright
Lie to me, forget me by the end of tonight
Lie to me, so I forget myself
Lie to me, and I’ll remember you as everybody else

Heartbroken, in the pouring rain
Yeah it was you, who drove me insane
So please forget me as I cry over you
Lie to me, because there’s nothing else to do

[Chorus:]
Lie to me, say it’s gonna be alright
Lie to me, forget me by the end of tonight
Lie to me, so I forget myself
Lie to me, and I’ll remember you as everybody else

I’m going to break down because of you
There’s nothing else for me to do
Break my heart, several different ways
Shattering all those sunny days

Only you can set me free from misery
So lie to me, say that you love me

[Chorus:]
Lie to me, say it’s gonna be alright
Lie to me, forget me by the end of tonight
Lie to me, so I forget myself
Lie to me, and I’ll remember you as everybody else
