Sunny Days

Verse 1
You come and go
Like the fleeting Boston rain
Or the unforgiving snow
That's blocking this train
From leaving Maine
It waxes and wanes
Like herr small caressing hands
Designed to bring men pain
In this land - where no hope remains
Chorus
With your arms around her shoulders
And your hips against her waist
The moments coming closer - you've got no time to waste
You've become
One of hers
Verse 2
So watch and learn
As I kick and scream and curse
While you open up their purse
To cut my throat
After all that you've learned
I hope and I pray that you'll forgive me one day
I'm a barren broken man - who's found some hope
Where none should remain
But with your arms around her shoulders
and her hips against your face
The moment's growing colder
You've got no time to waste
Then she says "kiss me boy - I want what you've got"
Outro
Oh how I miss those sunny days
Oh how I miss their silly gaze
How I miss their simple ways
In this man - no hope remains
Oh how I miss that hazy phase
How I miss those simple days
How I miss their gentle sway
In this land - where no hope remains
Chorus
But with his hands upon her shoulders
And their eyes locked face to face
The past grows ever more distant
Her love was your mistake
He becomes
The arbiter
Of her trust

Five Feet

Verse 1
The sun still rises before your eyes
Friendly faces still abound in your life
But shots with chasers are no compromise
To ease up on yourself
Enjoy your life
Chorus
Five feet apart at all times
You know darling, I don't really mind
It makes suspense seem worth all the while
And how it ends shouldn't be put so mildly
If I'm holding you tight
Until you say "alright"
"Goodbye"
"Goodnight"
"Alright"
Verse 2
Your strength and courage still berate my eyes
Unfriendly faces - dirty men you despise
But shots with chasers are no compromise
Forgive yourself
Remember, it's your life
Chorus
Keep at five feet at all times
You know I don't really mind
It makes suspense seem worth all the while
And how it ends shouldn't be put so mild
If I'm holding you tight
Until you say
"Alright"
"Goodbye"
"Goodnight"
"Alright"
Bridge
Keep it at five feet at all times
Then I can't say I really mind
Because you're just the kind of girl I like
Having leprosy is quite alright
If we keep at five feet all the time
I can't say I really mind
You're just the kind of woman I like
Having HPV's quite alright
Chorus
As long we're five feet apart at all times
You know girl I don't really mind
It makes the sex seem worth all the while
Then how it ends shouldn't be put so mildly
If I'm holding you tight
Until you say "Goodbye"
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

When the morning cries
Hold me in it's showers
And when the evening strikes
Love me in it's sorrows
You said "take your time"
Wandering in my folly
But it's in these lights
I'd say I think you got me pretty good
So when the day break bleeds
That sky you'll never paint me
Date leaves and lemon trees
Remind me to be happy
When even after I leave
And I know that you'll still hate me
Because I'm arrogant and mean
I''m a living, breathing, working class freak
From rags to riches sincerely yours
I write to you because I feel I must
Is it mind over matter - I don't mean to bore
But is this strife even conquerable without self-love?
From rags to riches I want to know
Is life even possible without another's touch?
From rags to riches sincerely yours
I write to you in a state of endless toil
And so I'll cast the die - Because I don't wanna die
On my own, in the night
(It's from these rags to riches that I wish to go, a life of love and a heart filled with hope)
Is it too late?
To escape...
Escape...
Escape...
Escape...

If my dreams and aspirations are ammunition for you
Then your heart is my firewood
And you had me at four seasons - without a rhyme or reason to believe
That you'd use me if you could
It can't be helped
I know it's hard for you
It can't be helped
This can't be
So I simply beg the question
To illicit some reasons
From the feeble mind of a fool
I speak of fate, and out of love (for you)
Be that as it may, I know you've had it rough (through and through)
But it can't be helped
I know it's hard for you
But it can't be helped
It can't be helped
You've had it hard
It can't be helped
It can't be helped
This can't be
Real
I was walking down the street with you in my thoughts
Can't stand the sight of you in their arms
Although I know we're many years apart
Just know I'll always hold you close to my heart x2
Who...?
Who...?
I wonder who?
Who...?
Who...?

With the press of our lips eternal bliss is reached
With the touch of your hand against my face as I gently weep
With the suck of your kiss and when our eyes finally meet
Your graceful smile sends me higher than the tallest of trees
Rolling fields - and endless sky
Grant me hope - for a better life
I'm on my own - one more time
How I hope - to see you again
With the caress of your hips against my lips I die
By the God of your grace and the sight of your face I melt everytime
With the clasp of our hands and our silhouettes to an open sky
We could live forever if we choose to - after we die
Rolling fields - and endless skies
Grant me hope - for a better life
I'm on my own - one last time
But I know
Bridge
That we'll meet again
On the highest of mountains
With your sullen eyes - gazing back in mine
And your golden hair - blowing softly in the breeze
When I question God, I'll ask him if this is real
I know you'll disappear - at the peak of that moment
But I won't be scared - in fact I find solace
In that you and I - are now existing
We're just a place in time - apart
So it's in mind - and in my heart
That I won't let go
Of the idea
Of you
Outro
If I - could just apologize
One last time - and hold you tight
If I - could kiss you goodnight
With your hands in mine
That'd be mighty fine
If I - could just say goodbye
One more time - and see you smile
If I were to sing you a lullabye
This would be
What I'd Write
