You think you know me
And how I think
You think you can show me
And pull me in
But I’m telling it to you
Baby don’t fake it
Baby don’t play it safe
Again I’m telling you baby
Don’t even fake it
You might have to play it straight
Just be you
And I’ll be me
Sitting around and talkin' all of that shit
Seems to suit you just fine, fine, fine!
Trying to know my business
Is keeping you on fools time
So I’m telling you baby
You don’t have to fake it
you might have to play it straight
Again I’m telling ya baby
Yea we never made it
I’ll be cool and you can be
You can be
Free...!

Frown Upside Down

ohhhhh
I’m turning my mind around
To be a better a person
I’m spinning my frown upside down
To smile between the verses
You can sit there all beat down
Swearing and a cursing
You can blame it all on me
But I won’t return it
oh I won't
I won't return it, nooo
and that's ok,
and that's ok,
and that's ok, with me
Just like an engine revving
you still gotta stay cool
Don’t blow your top
You gotta maintain
Coz I got rolled the other day
Inside of my mind
I beat myself up so bad
I nearly cried
yea ohh
I tell ya,
I nearly cried
Don’t doubt yourself
Don’t doubt yourself
Don’t doubt yourself
Just believe
So I’m turning my mind around
To be positive and focussed
I’m the dropping all the shit that I don’t need
I tell yea, ooh yeaa
I said I'm droppin' all the shit that I don't need
And that’s ok,
And that’s ok,
and that’s ok,
with me!

Love Is Warm
03:42

Even though this seems like the saddest song I wrote
somehow it's a tune of joy and happy too
somewhere out at sea floats a glass bottle
and inside sits a picture of just you and me
and when somebody finds it
they will know
they'll see ht burnt edges
but the overall glow
Coz love is warm but love can burn
get too hot to touch
can lead to ashes and dust
Coz love is warm but love can burn
get too hot to touch
can lead to ashes and dust
This is why our picture sits floating out at sea
I had to save some of it to be at peace
I didn't wanna burn up in the flames of love
I didn't wanna burn up in the flames of love,
Just needed to breath
and when somebody finds it
the bottle will show
some of our story
and how it did go
coz love is warm
but love can burn
get too hot to touch
can lead to ashes and dust
and our love was warm
but our love burned
got too hot to touch
nearly all burnt to dust
now I hope that it can float out to sea
uninterrupted
finally at peace
coz our love was warm
but our love burned
got too hot to touch
nearly all burnt to dust
and our love was warm
but our love burned
got too hot to touch
nearly all burnt to dust

Lost C*ut
As I walk in this world
And search my mind's eye
looking to find
Things hands cannot touch
With each step that I take
My shadow goes forth
When my image is gone
I might still be there ... still
Lookin' for the answers
But what is the question
I ask myself
Findin' some reasons
But lacking all intent
As my thoughts float to the sky
my feet are still stuck
In what feels like some
Concrete and iron
No more steps can I take
As it all slows down
My feet are beneath
My mind's in the clouds ... still
lookin' for answers
But what are the questions
I ask myself?
Finding some reasons
But lacking all intent
oh I'm still lookin' for answers
but what are the questions I ask myself?
I'm finding' some reasons
I'm lackin', I'm lackin'
all intent
Bridge
I stumble around
And pick myself up
I’m still finding ways to be lost
I make some rough notes
Of the things I should do
So why is it I can’t pull through
lookin' for answers
But what are the questions
I ask myself?
Finding some reasons
But lacking all intent
I'm still lookin' for answers
But what are the questions
I ask myself?
Finding some reasons
But I'm lackin', I'm lackin' all intent

What If?

What If
What if you kissed me I said that I liked it?
What are the chances of being alone?
What if we go down and don’t even make it?
Would ya still talk to me and hang on the pavement?
What if you'd stayed there and ended up dyin’?
I would not know you and you family be cryin’
What if I tripped up and smashed my whole face in?
Would you still look at me and it not make a difference?
But what ifs are stupid and I thought you’d be there
Singing your heart out but you kept it in
So if you hear this song playing you’ll know I’m alive
But that’ll count for nothing, I know what you're like
Old fires are burning from my loving days
A drop in the fire won't extinguish this blaze
I turned down the volume tried not to listen
But the bottle took over and fucked my conviction
Ages, it’s been ages
and I need a tray, to cradle all of these ashes…..
Ages, it’s been ages
and I need a tray, to cradle all of my ashes…..
So what if I kissed you and said that I liked it?
What are the chances of being alone?
