NO BROKEN HEARTS, NO STARS, JUST A CHECK ON A BALLOT
if you want to say hi,
please feel free.
but this is kind of strange,
recently you're being so nice to me.
you've already turned in your application,
for the best spot.
but you're missing something,
this heart you haven't caught.
it's waiting.
she wants my votes,
doesn't care just how i'm feeling.
i guess that this just shows my broken heart that she's not seeing.
but in the end, it shouldn't really matter that much to me.
i'm trying to be her friend, but all she wants is my votes.
she just wants my votes
she just needs my votes,
she's using me,
to get ahead,
she just wants my votes.
she just needs my votes.
she just wants my votes.
it's pretty sad,
but i'm playing the fool
once again for her.
when will i understand her?
when will i see through her lies?
i hope this lasts forever.
so that maybe we can stay together,
together.
forever.
it happened again today,
i saw you there.
you waved and smiled at me,
like you really care.
i hope you do and this is,
not just a front,
cause if this is i think my emotions,
they would be all done.
you tore them up.
ARE LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS WORTH THE PAIN?
3000 miles away
and you try to call her.
but the ringing on the other side won't stop.
you write a letter,
and send it off first class.
but it eventually gets lost.
why is this always happening to you?
what are you doing
to deserve this?
what can you do?
both of you just turned away
as you left
that cold december day.
the airport can be a lonely place.
and you can't do anything
but think of when
you'll be together once again.
you finally reunite
but discover she's different.
an awkward feeling comes up when you two walk around.
no more going out,
no more having fun,
what's going on?
and eventually she's had enough of you.
long distance makes a difference.
it's hard for you to just hold on.

TIME FLIES
i waste my days just thinking of you
and when i start to daydream
that you're thinking of me too
i remember from past experience
that it's too good to be true.
so i just sit and watch time fly.
i really should pick myself
off the floor.
i shouldn't play this futile game
anymore.
i'm reminded by past experience
this thing's for sure
i'm gonna sit and watch time fly.
there it goes
there it goes
another week gone by.
without you by my side.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR A HEALING HEART
the clouds go rolling by
and the stars they are my guide
to where you want to go
to what you really want girl.
slow it down
just talk to me.
my heart is here
for your's to keep.
i was so nervous
my heart just fell.
thumping so fast
i could not tell.
hold on tight
it won't hurt.
our relationship
it might work.
this is the first time i want days to be forever.
i hope it's okay, but can we please stay together?
now you're leaving
and i'm still dreaming.
of when it'd be us again
when we could be more than friends.
i wish i could change this
that'd be my only wish.
that'd you stay right here with me
that this broken heart would leave.
this is how it began
this is how it reran
and how i found myself
stuck alone again.
this is how it started
you left me broken hearted.
and now all i want
is to have you back in my arms.
i wish i could change this forever.

RECOLLECTION OF HER WOUNDED HEART
what is he doing with his life
where does he think he's going?
and what is she not doing right,
she's packing up and moving.
they were a happy couple
always going out and having fun
i guess just one word made it done.
she's crying now
while he's being with all the other girls.
she thought she was the one for him
the only one, in this world.
so now they're moving on
but will she just get caught behind
and he just doesn't seem to mind.
they were
they were
they were
together for so long.
he left
she's sad
can she keep going on alone?
TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE I WILL WAIT FOR YOU
why do you always insist on
running around?
why can't you just let your heart
stay in one place?
i know you're better than this
don't throw around your pretty face
to guys who don't deserve it.
so it is up to you
to do what you want to do
but can you please have a second thought.
pick yourself up from the level you're in.
you can do it.
just think how much better you would feel on new tracks.
much cleaner than today.
will this drag on forever
and ever?
everyone's talking about you
but not in good ways.
they think you're really cool cause
you just let them order you around
try not to give in all the time.
|
A FADING HOPE WITH UNDYING MEANING
why can't you see,
what you're doing to me?
you're holding back my heart from you,
are these your feelings are they true?
are these just stupid dreams?
maybe if i'm lucky you'll smile at me.
my heart would skip from ecstasy.
why can't i see,
that this can never be.
there's nothing else that i can do.
i'm just another fool for you.
so now i ask myself why am i doing this?
maybe for the best cause.
it's all for you.
so you and me,
a possibility,
i don't know how i'll make it through,
by just singing this song to you.
TOMORROW WON'T LAST FOREVER
i had wanted to tell you for so long
things i kept deep inside my heart.
but that was years ago
before you changed your mind.
my reaction was slow
so many thoughts that weren't kind.
and now i just can't wait again.
you cheated on him
you had an affair,
and all this while,
it seemed like you didn't care.
so keep going around
doing what you want.
it's over,
i think i'm finally over you
will this be something that you remember
i know i'll try but not forever
things change as time goes by
but you have stayed the same
no tears fall from my eyes
when you didn't feel my pain.
you cheated on him
you had an affair
and i don't know why
i can't break my stare of you
will i get through
i think i'm finally over you.

A MISLED INTERPRETATION OF A BROKEN DREAM
when i see you walking around
my eyes couldn't stay down
you're the object of my affection.
take it back
a little bit later.
i wonder if she ever saw me see her.
but i noticed she was looking right back at me
could it be,
maybe.
what could this be
why does my heart skip like so?
i need to know.
it was just a glance and nothing more, we had
eye contact before.
but i see it as different
i guess i'm stupid for believing in it.
but then my friend said
that he liked her
even though he was not completely sure.
another girl i'll try to be nice to.
luck's down and i know that it'll be true.
my heart got so dim
when i see you walking
arm in arm with him.
ABANDONED BY YOUR CLOSEST ENEMIES
how does it feel
to know you're friends are talking behind your back.
they say you take things too seriously
and they call you a sell out.
they say you're not chivalrous
and that you have no honor to take things in.
these kids who thought were your friends
just are too different.
they say they're joking
and that you just need to calm down.
they tell others that you're flipping out
for the first time.
and i'll bet in three days
things will be alright.
but right now this sense of betrayal
fills my mind.

COMMON TWO FOURTEEN STORY
i think i've finally reached a milestone.
every year it's valentine's day alone.
all those candies and gifts, and little red hearts,
keep explaining every feeling.
are you free
to be with me?
for at least just one day.
can i make you mine?
my valentine?
is there any possible way?
i just don't understand,
is it too obvious?
if i talk to you,
but to me you just seem, too oblivious.
he gives you a rose and kisses you right on the cheek,
and you don't know he's leaving next week.
he's lied to you, in your face.
and you always seem to fall for it.
cause you're too nice,
and he's too mean.
and i'm standing here,
watching you two scream.
at eachother,
could it be,
that you're done with one another.
i just don't understand,
is it too obvious?
if i talk to you,
but to me you just seem, too oblivious.
CRUSHED HOPES ONE MORE TIME
why do i always get my hopes up so high
only to see my heart crushed each time i try
for anything i truly think is worth it.
can you be too optimistic in this world today?
i wouldn't like to think so, but right now i'll say
that sometimes it may seem like nothing turns out your way.

MY FRIEND'S GOT A BROKEN HEART
i have this friend
he had a girl
but she left him.
she wanted to go
for something else.
and she said
please i'm not quite ready yet.
what kind of talk is that?
why does she make excuses?
cause i know she likes him,
and i know she needs him.
she wants to play with
guys heart.
play with your mind
my friend had his hopes up.
he had his hopes up
for her.
he's getting so close
so far,
to something different.
i don't know why
she left him
what was she thinking?
so right now
we rarely see her
smiling.
perhaps she has changed her mind
back for him.
can there still be hope left today?
maybe for his sake?
or maybe for hers.
it was the first time
and i know it'll go on.
does she have
a second thought?
she's not that cruel
so he lives alone
she picks up the phone.
she can't dial the number
she wants to remember.
A MASKED DECEPTION OF EMOTION
everything stops
and nothing stays.
i hope this feeling will never go away.
you've been so nice
these past few days
and the voting is already done.
i'm thinking back to another time,
another day when you weren't mine.
you'd still smile
it would be a while
until i got the courage to talk to you.
but no matter how chivalrous i act
nothing will come back
that was never there before.
and i wonder why you changed your mind
you took off your mask
but you're still being kind.
everything's the same
as it was before
and i mistook you
for how you were before.
this high school scene
is always confusing me.

ANTISOCIAL
i know this kid who thinks he's really cool.
goes to parties and acts like a big fool,
but in the end he walks down the street.
alone again he takes his seat.
going around thinking they're so sure.
going around thinking they're so popular.
why do they act like this?
don't they realize those things that they're going to miss?
i see them sitting on the lawn.
they're wasting their time, maybe i'm too by writing this song.
they go to things and think that they're too good for it.
sometimes they go to shows, and look for the best place to sit.
but that's okay, if you are one of them.
just turn this off and go outside to join your friends.
going around thinking they're so sure.
going around thinking they're so popular.
but what can I do
when they control you too.
what should I do about it?
they don't realize what they're doing
too involved in their own pride now.
they're too proud of themselves.
they think that they're so cool.
but in the end
they really just suck.

STARING UP AT THE STARS JUST WISHING
heard your laugh again today,
and it was all that i could take.
turn around and you're not there,
seems to me you just don't care.
only four days have gone by,
and you're already seeing that other guy.
i guess in turn that it's okay,
you're much happier this way.
so now what should i do,
cause all i do is think of you.
i sat down and wrote this song,
but it's too late because you're gone.
remember when we went to shows?
never thought those times would go,
so i'll just wait here today,
hoping you'd come for good and stay.
DEEP HEART, SHALLOW MIND (demo)
why must you lead me on this way?
can't you see my heart can't take
all this running around, all this running around
getting nothing accomplished at all.
why must you be the only one
whom i could spend with all my days?
why can't you be a one
who doesn't mind that i look this way?
if you want my heart
if you want my soul
it shouldn't matter that much at all.

THIS WORLD IS TOUGH ON DREAMERS
at this point in time, i'm missing something.
early mornings in the fall,
starry skies over us all.
could it be, i'm missing you?
we used to laugh all day,
and then i'd see you,
walking away.
but when you laughed or when you smiled,
it kept on bringing this up.
i've got no chance of being with you.
i can never think of anything to do.
as autumn falls,
the snow collects.
it melts away,
the summer's met.
i'm here
and your there.
do you care?
DISAPPEARING FROM VIEW, DESPERATION UNFOLDS (demo)
too much small talk
coming from our mouths.
desperation's boiling up
faking out you and me again.
an idea just came to my mind
should i make that move
or wait till time
takes you away again and again.
i've waited too long
it's my turn now.
i am trying to
work up the courage
but this sense of panic
what am i trying to say?
