LYRICS

People often ask where they can find lyrics, so I compiled 10+ years worth of songs into one location! I even included some of the tunes I consider to be hot garbage clunkers, just for the fun of documenting the journey. 

Colder Feet

2/24/2010

left the key out on the dresser
sat down and cried
couldn’t make myself write the letter
that said goodbye
two toothbrushes in a coffee cup
there’s just one now
i’m sorry for the way i screwed things up
everywhere you turn you see damage done now
 
i just want to tell you one last thing
you were my shoulder, my best friend
wish i could have saved you from this pain
wish my feet were colder back then

 
empty bottles on the counter
broken pictures in the hall
i’m sorry that you’re angry, you should be
you probably don’t want to see me at all
big ol’ bed taking up too much space
much too big for one now
i’m sorry for that sad look on your face
everywhere you turn you see damage done now

Close Enough

1/24/2010

Verse: D E // Bm A G
Chorus: D A G

​you were close enough to pick my pocket
but you just took my ticker
you ripped beating thing right from its socket
leaving only my breath to grow much quicker
 
i sprung forward into love
you didn’t want to set your clock and fall back
there’s nothing much either of us
can do about that
 
but you were close enough to make me sing
you were close enough to leave a scar
you were close enough but that don’t mean anything
cause close enough was still way too far
 
you were close enough to tell my secret
there was trust enough so i didn’t hide
you were close enough i knew you would keep it
so now where do i turn, with whom can i confide?

Chasing a Lie

Capo 6, chord shapes below
Verse:
 G-B-Cadd9
Chorus: Em C G D
Bridge: Am Em C // G-B-Cadd9
​
​
starting out, you were a friend of a friend
nothing much to love or get invested in
years gone by, now you're family
the same blood that runs through you 
runs through me

but you're chasing a lie, chasing a lie, chasing a lie
telling yourself you're gonna die sooner or later
wasting your life, wasting your life, wasting your life
it's a life you and i know should be greater, chasing a lie


starting out, i worried
about you behind your back
now i worry to your face
trying to make up for the worry you lack

put it down, put it down
it will never quench your thirst
put it down, put it down
it's just making matters worse
pick 'em up, pick 'em up
pick up the pieces friend
i will help you put them back again

Come Home

Verse: C#m G#m F#m
Chorus: C#m B // A

​​it’s like a swell before a chorus
it’s like a wave before it breaks
yeah i’ve been waiting for you
i’ve been waiting for us
i’ve been waiting so long, i don’t know how much i can take
 
when will you come home
i’ve been waiting patiently
when will you come back home
i got something for you
and that something is me
 
it’s like a trumpet blast in a paul simon tune
like a lighter shade of brown on a Sunday afternoon
i’ve been waiting for you, i hope i can see you soon
this house is so empty, so is my room
