First Gear
Written April 26th, 2021
I’ve tried to play it down
The pain i’ve hid so well
Since you pulled out the driveway last year
I know it was my fault
Which drove you off the lot
But I sense our love’s in first gear
I just wanted you to be here
Wanted to feel you near me
To see life from the front seat
Nothing on earth comes close
To driving with you on the road
Accelerate our love
Shift the gear stick up
I wish that I could show you
Just how I’ve fixed her up
I wasn’t in my best shape last year
And you can take forever
There’s no rush to get here
But when you see my exit
Turn right there

Adult Rock
Written March 30th, 2021
Watching the sun go down
Not with anyone you know that well
The wind blows your hair around
Someone you lost brings you down
Looking for something new
But deep down you know it’s inside you
So what are you going to do?
To master a heart that beats with truth
Let the sun take a bow
As light sinks into the ground
The people are slowing down
Let the sun take a bow

Only a Fool
Written March 1st, 2021
Wanted more then lost it all
Still not stuck complaining
Looking at your bank account
You got less than you put in it
Then you woke up feeling brand new
Accepted a point of view
Only a fool could feel this good
When he’s got nothing to lose
Only a fool could have enough
When he’s got no one to love
Only a fool, Only a fool
Advice so easy to give
Hard to stay within
Only a fool could feel this good
When he’s got nothing to lose
Only a fool could have enough
When he’s got no one to love
Only a fool, Only a fool

Impression
Written March 3rd, 2021
When I saw you last night
Surrounded by those guys
You shined like a spotlight
Wanted to leave an impression
On you
I tried everything I could
But couldn’t catch your eyes enough
Made a fool out of myself
Just wanted to impress you
Don’t wanna go there right now
Been thinking about it all day long
So tired of speculating
And I don’t want to be wrong
In the corner playing pool
Tried to nail a risky move
Sunk an eight ball trying to
Leave an impression on you
I tried everything I could
But couldn’t catch your eyes enough
Made a fool out of myself
Just wanted to impress you
Don’t wanna go there right now
Been thinking about it all day long
So tired of speculating
And I don’t want to be wrong

Window of Opportunity
Written Dec 5th, 2020
Put all your money in
This time it’s worth the risk
Cause I’d jump at the chance
For this opportunity
I’m dreaming of a bull
To make my money grow
I’d risk it all for you
For a new reality
How high’s the interest?
This time it’s different
You’ll only get this once
And if it works we won
Don’t miss this opportunity
Window of opportunity

Reminiscent
Written Nov 11th, 2020
I’m sitting on the airplane
Looking out the window
Thinking about a couple things I could pursue
If I wanted to, cause there’s nothing to do now
Waiting for a friend at the baggage claim
Talking to a woman with a friendly face
Said she hates the cold, talks real slow
I liked her though should’ve let her know
Reminiscent
Up on the roof
Reminiscent
I’m waiting for you
Reminiscent
On the way home in my brother’s car
Turning up the music cause it goes so hard
Said he loves the song and listened all day long
Let’s play it on repeat for the long drive home
Reminiscent
Up on the roof
Reminiscent
I’m waiting for you
Reminiscent

Raise the Stakes
Written November 16th, 2020
No one wants to live alone forever
I was sweating in the autumn weather
Some are sitting on a bench together
A letter written but not delivered
I was dealt a bad hand maybe
Time to up the ante
The stakes are high but
I’ve got time to lose
Someday we’ll meet in the hills of the sun
Let’s make a bet if you’re not with someone
To be together and to fall in love
I’ll try my hardest not to mess it up
I’m the holding cards so close to my chest
Cause there’s no point in being second best
The game is unfair and too rich for my blood
All bets are off when you’re stuck in the mud
Raise the stakes x4
I was dealt a bad hand maybe
Time to up the ante
The stakes are high but
I’ve got time to lose

Definitely Love
Written December 27th, 2020
I want it again
Why does it go away?
The passion it always fades
I lost her again
She comes but she never stays
I know that she can’t trust me enough
But were laughing for days
Living without a care
How could she feel a different way?
Definitely in love
Can’t think about it enough
Don’t see another one
But her tonight
Definitely in love
Heart beat is speeding up
Don’t see another one
But her tonight

Alternative MTV
Is all that I want to see
Alternative MTV
Come sit right next to me
Let’s turn on the MTV
It’s all that I want to see
Alternative MTV
Alternative MTV
It all changed in 98
That’s when it all went sideways
Bitter sweet symphony
The Verve and karma police
Alternative MTV
Is all that I want to see
Alternative MTV
Come sit right next to me
Before YouTube ruled the game
Dave Matthews and Shania Twain
Ben Folds Five and Puff Daddy
The Notorious B.I.G.
Alternative MTV
Is all that I want to see
Alternative MTV
Come sit right next to me
Let’s turn on the MTV
It’s all that I want to see
