I'm sorry that I neglected to tell you
You didn't expect it til you found out for yourself
I didn't bring attention to that
Fine print under my name
Saying "The one I am tomorrow is not the one I am today."
Telling you this person that you see before you is subject to change
I'm really quite surprised that you didn't see
the asterisks in my eyes indicating
the risk to be with me
because I'm fake
a liar and a flake
a two-headed fucking snake
I take the cake
And I'm not quite sure that I know what I want in life just yet
so thanks for staying and helping me to forget how much of a fuck up I am
(What a ride, I bet).

I drink green tea
I think of you
I go crazy
and then I sleep

I like how your eyes grow wide;
a beacon in the night for me to follow.
I know where I'll find you
I'll know who to come to.
A smile that radiates,
followed by the brightest laugh that sustains my memory
It should be so plain to me.
And you are the one who's helped me see it all
I thank you, and if you can,
please wait for me to pull through
How many different ways can I say, "I love you?"
I can't see in the dark, but my glowing heart responds
from a feeling that you planted deep inside.
In this I'm alive.
In this I come back to say "Good morning! Hi! Hello!"
and I can see you glow
And I know you can remember more than I do
But the pain remains; it's something I hold on to
But your lips upon my cheek
your soft voice when you speak
brings me back to a point in time
before we decided who we want to be.
Before a sharpened mind
Before the textbooks, lectures, desks
Before the office etiquette
Before responsibility
and wrestling with morality
simply simple simplicity
is all I'd want to see
Like when I used to live on Knollwood road.

Train Tracks

I don't care enough about the world to adopt a cause.
I don't keep up with government, or politics, or laws.
I'd just like to take the time to pause
to have this conversation "just because."
I'm that guy that has to try and justify my loss
to have a benefit from these train tracks
I've laid myself across.
I'd like to find the beauty in your flaws,
so let's take the scenic route "just because."
I won't have my fate dependent on a coin to toss
or my destiny determined by drawing a bunch of straws.
So if you choose to leave me, it's no loss
but will you please stay with me?

I was always one to live on wishes that never did come true.
Waiting for that single chance that never followed through.
Hoping for at least one day where i can say that it's ok.
But right now I can because I'm sitting here with you.
A million droplets on the window: the rain is pouring down.
Sharing in experience, absorbing sights and sounds.
Watching people walk on by, busy with their daily lives.
Please, let us not take ourselves too seriously for now.
How bout after class we grab a cup of tea?
When I'm sitting next to you, I'm joyful as can be
and any weight that bears upon my chest, I can forget
any problem standing in my way.
Though what matters is the 'here and now'
I still look back and wonder how
I ever got to where I am with you
and what I feel is nothing short of truth.
Chin up; I'll catch you later, kid.

Autumn

If I'm taking a while, it's because I only want to see your smile
They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder"
Now should I apologize? Should I heed my own advice?
It's quite unfortunate that you should wonder about anything.
Will Autumn come this year?
Think nothing of it, dear
I'd like to think that you're "the one"
and that our simple life had just begun
but to any other, this silence can be deafening
It's funny how things turn out to be
what exactly do you see in me?
On nights like this is when I don't mind dying.

There's that familiar feeling again
A feeling that I'm not home
Flocks of seagulls fly to their destination
Floating in one direction
yet I don't know where I am going and I don't care
The ants digging underneath my feet march so rhythmically
tiny lives determined by a single entity
I sigh and wonder where I'll be along the rugged path
within this journey; where is it leading me?
A hundred faces I see every day but now, they fade from my memory.
My mind, oh my silly brain takes a liking to your funny face
you smile in slowed-down motion and I notice everything
The lines on the road below my seat blend so seamlessly
into a single line; I think of where I have to be
I sigh and wonder where I'll be along the rugged path
within this journey; where will it take me?
Anywhere with you...

A Song For Pam
02:55

If I had a son, I'd name him Thelonious
He'd have a sense of humor almost more than half identical to ours.
and he'd probably play guitar way better than I ever could
and I'd have a tad bit of jealousy
for his ability to get the ladies
Indeed, indeed
if I had a daughter, Sophia Luna's what I'd call her
she'd love astronomy like her mom; philosophy like her father
when she'd have bad dreams about Socrates flying a UFO machine
you and me would let her sleep in between us
in our twin size futon bed
Indeed, indeed.
The four of us would live inside a wooden cabin deep in the forest,
We'd grow our own tomatoes and make awesome electronica music
and we'd end up on the FBI's Most Wanted list
cuz they'd suspect us of being domestic terrorists
and we won't give a shit of how illegal it is to own ferret in Yosemite
cuz we'd have one of those, a pig, a skunk, a shiba inu and our black cat named Ozzy
Indeed, indeed
