November Sky

It feels so good to be back home from school
I put my jacket on its starting to get cool
Sitting on my porch watching the wind blow
Wondering when it was going to snow
I watch as the sun starts to fall
It was feeling more and more like fall
For some reason I felt so small
Like I was only about 3 feet tall
After the hustle up north in the city
And all those days where I felt so gritty 
Surrounded in a world of fake smiles and titties
There is nothing like, nothing like that November sky

I got a call around 3 o'clock
She wants to meet up, shes just 'round the block
Comin' to swoop me up to chill
Possibly at our spot at the top of the hill
She pulled up in her black 150
So bad and yet still so pretty
Didnt have a destination to go
Just driving for miles, I went with the flow
Tryin to catch up, its only been a year
But there is still so much that we need to hear
She laughed, I smiled, she put it in park
Back to our spot right as it got dark
Good times, good times but it ended like a bummer
Late in the night we would stay up
In the flatbed of her pickup truck
Side by side with the warmth of a blanket
Smooth jazz playing, no need to crank it
Staring up counting the stars
Oh I lost count, I think I see Mars
I loved chillin wit her back in the Spring
All the love that the season could bring
Even during Winter we would have our fun
Playing in the snow, no tellin when we were done
No doubt I loved the Summer
But there is nothing like, nothing like that November sky

And then the darkness took the horizon line
So lets just close our eyes, close our eyes
Do you hear it? Our song is playing
I can smell the sunflowers
In this whole world its just me and you
Just us and the sound of water
Ohh take me away, take me away
There is nothing like, nothing like that November sky

Rest Your Head

There's another day of stress
One more day to try to impress
When you're feeling so depressed
Come rest your head

I dont know why you are stallin'
When any second the tears may start fallin'
Baby walk tall dont start crawlin'
Come rest your head

You feel like you're making a mistake
And all the truths have become fake
When your wounded heart was at stake
Come rest your head

Today, today, come take my hand
And lets go to place, a distant land
Where the blind people see
There's no other place I'd rather be
And its only you and me
Im dropping to my knee
Just like they say, there's plenty of other fish
You can have whatever you want just make a wish
Everyone agrees that your heart no longer should bleed
Believe in me my love you are freed
Stretch your wings and fly
My beautiful butterfly
Let the air race over your skin
Now is the time for love to begin
Or we can take a sail across the sea
Laughing and smiling to a cup of tea
You dont need to pack for where we're going
Leave right now without anyone knowing
But before we go my darling, come rest your head

Clouds

I find myself often looking into the sky
Staring at the clouds
Slowly passing us by
One day clouds will bring you nothing but blue skies
Letting you believe that its going to be bubble gum
And rainbows filling you with undeniable happiness
Sometimes it stands still
You want it to last forever
However as you gaze into the sky, looking at those same clouds
They drift away
In comes a new set of clouds, dark clouds
They bring rain and cold, draining you of all the good
You felt from the previous clouds
Now you're stuck in the rain with no umbrella
Hoping to get your sunshine clouds back
Silence comes in black
Seems like the rain will never end
You almost forget what the sunshine is
But just like the sunshine clouds you see the rain clouds to move
Slowly they start to move out
You made it past the storm, you survived
You fought through it and came out stronger than ever
And now you are prepared for the next storm
But for now you will cherish the sunshine clouds
That have returned and you have learned
To appreciate whats here now
And just as you have settled with the sunshine clouds
Another storm is brewing
This one is worse than the last
But you are ready to take on the storm
Cause you know it will pass and the sunshine clouds come back


Hmmm funny how clouds reminds me of life

Leave Me To Die

She left me there to die
My chest hurts, I'm empty
She ran off with my heart
Not the first time, I got plenty
I crawl back into your arms
For the first time in over a year
How did you love again?
There is so much that I fear
Its now 6am
I'm waiting for the world to wake
I've got to warn them all
And tell them what's at stake
I'm reaching for the moon
I'll be there someday soon

This love is ripping me, ripping me apart
Now hate is gripping me, gripping me, I start
To make my way to the fork in the road
And I dont know where to go

Find refuge at the bar
I'm drowning in sorrow
So long to sober days
There is no tomorrow
A stranger in my house
Who are you? What do you want from me?
Reflection in the mirror
Used to be me, my past haunts me
Just leave me alone
To the darkness of my room
My body turns to dust
Sweep me up with the broom
Just wasting in the bed
I wonder if I'm dead

This love is ripping me, ripping me apart
Now hate is gripping me, gripping me, I start
To make my way to the fork in the road
And I dont know where to go
I thought I was stronger, but lately I just cant take it
Oh noo, just leave me to die
If God says he needs me just tell Him that I cant make it
Don't save me, just leave me to die

Star Gazing

In an instant my world went into a blur
All it took was one look from her
Forever immortalized
In the front and back of my mind
Its like falling into river of cocoa and cream
With marshmallow rocks found in a dream
Her twinkles so divine
She's such a lucky find, how could I make her mine?
I feel like a little boy in a toy store
No matter what she gives me, I always want more
The girl next door, she's got beauty and love galore
For her to be with me is what I implore
From how she shuffles her hair to her innocent wink
Stops my heart and affects how I think
Its like being lost and found in the same moment
Had to catch myself, give me a moment
When she's not around I wonder where she went
I think about all the time I spent
Tryna get her to see the hint
Those jumble words I told her wasnt what I meant
Such an attitude of the city, she'll throw you some fits
But humble like a country girl and make you some grits
She makes me feel like Christmas morning
Snowed in and its still pouring
Like the warmth from the fireplace
That hugs and kisses my face
Walks into a room and she brings the light from the Alaskan sky
A cosmic entity feeding my eye
She's a Goddess, she's Aphrodite
Graceful and dainty yet wise and mighty
Lures me in with her Cheshire cat grin
Warps my reality so I think that I'll win
No matter how close I get its not close enough
I try to show confidence but she calls my bluff
My Astro-Goddess, I admire from the Earth
Your constellation in the sky is a price tag of your worth
Its you that I keep praisin' its you Im praisin'
It feels so amazin' when Im star gazin'

Like In My Dreams

Come to me like in my dreams, standing in the wind
Waiting for our whole lives to begin
Wont you please just come along
I swear nothing will go wrong
We'll take a ride on the seat of our pride
Make memories with every stride

Im gonna be there when you fall
So I can make sure you stand tall
And you'll be, everything that I know you can be

You whisper to me in the dark under the night stars
Of how you feel like you're living on Mars
Put your arms around me babe, let go of your shame
Cause all in all you know you're not to blame
Its called the past for a reason, you gotta let it go
Keep pushing forward to new plateau you know

Im gonna be there when you fall
So I can make sure you stand tall
And you'll be, everything that I know you can be

Spread your wings and fly with me, go to paradise
We'll wake up in the sunsets, and make love till sunrise
Do you really wanna run away or stay and fight?
Hold your ground and conquer what is right
I know you close your eyes and see the place you ought to be
Start believing in fantasies, 'cause soon you will be free

Im gonna be there when you fall
So I can make sure you stand tall
And you'll be, everything that I know you can be

Take my hand and dont look back, lets make our own way
We dont have to listen to what anybody has to say
I wonder how you do that, make me feel so full of hope
When I thought that I was at the end of my rope

Im gonna be there when you fall
So I can make sure you stand tall
And you'll be, everything that I know you can be

Come to me like in my dreams, but please dont let me wake
I wont gamble with this love, I know whats at stake
Please tell me that its real, dont leave me to weep
Cause if its fake then Im goin back to sleep

Im gonna be there when you fall
So I can make sure you stand tall
And you'll be, everything that I know you can be

Sing Me a Song

Oh heavenly girl, sing me a song
One that will soothe me all night long
Im humming along, gripping your arm
Acting as if you'll be my good luck charm
Watch over me, spread your wings
Put me at ease with the humble song that you sing

Read me a story, valiant knight
Tuck me to bed and keep me safe at night
I see their eyes, glowing so bright
Give me my blanket, they give me a fright
Im scared of the dark, dont leave my side
The last time you did I hid away and I cried

King of the Hearts, lend us your voice
Tell me a tale, whichever one of your choice
I feel your strength flow through my soul
Keeping me warm so I'll never be cold
They're after my heart to change it to black
Im afraid if they get me I'll never turn back

So heavenly girl, sing me a song
One that will protect me all night long

Impunity

Oh, love, how could it be
That Im with a beauty queen from a velvet dream
After 6 rounds with the bar keep team
She's asking for the next dance
Hey DJ you're right on time
She takes the last gulp of her Corona with lime
Being with her feels like a crime
Am I naive at a chance for love and romance?
But...I think...honestly...

What this is cant be a real feeling
When the only thing you see for us is the ceiling
Keep your legs closed, you cant convince me
You see...I dont grant you impunity

Hey! Whoa there! What are you doing sir?
Did you even stop to think? Did it ever occur?
You have to know the background of her
That she's dating your best friend
No, dont stop on my account
Just because they're  on a break doesnt mean it counts
Hey its ok you dont have to dismount
'Cause eventually this will end
Did...you think...of consequence?

This situation really has me distraught
Its still wrong even thought you havent been caught
Well it isnt my wrath you will see
Because He wont grant you impunity

Touch

It must be 3am (I cant sleep)
Cause all I long for is your loving touch
I want to call you now (and just thank you)
You've givin' me so much
And you dont know what this means to me

The wind blows, I hear a song (sounds so sweet)
It must be the neighbors wind chimes
I just cant resist you (I surrender)
Cant believe that you're all mine
Love so bright that we make blind people see

Some of your friends say Im not the one for you
Who cares what they say about what we do
My head constantly spins
Walking on ice so thin
What keeps me level is your loving touch
Cant wait till you get home
So we can be alone
You say that your back hurts?
Let me rub you down this always works
I wanna give you my loving touch
Now lets light up these candles
See how long we can handle
Say now sexy lady, oh just come my way
Theres nothing else that I can say but
I thank you for your loving touch

Paper & Pen

How could I sleep with all of the noise
Right outside my window?
I just cant ignore it
But where am I supposed to go?
I start listening
Try to understand
I can hear them screaming, every woman child and man
Start to pray to God
But Im only talking to myself
Oh Im on a mission
Got to do it under stealth
The angles come to protect me
I ask them where they have been
How do I save the world
When Im equipped with just paper and pen?
Show them, they said, show them the way
Back to having balance
But Im not sure
If I can meet this challenge
This world today
Is just way to cynical
Me saying Im not
Makes me hypocritical
I have no super powers
No mask, no cape
I dont have a secret lair
Of which to escape
No super strength
Or able to see through walls
Cant shoot beams of energy
Or extract metal claws
I have asked myself this question
Over and over again
How am I to save the world
With just a paper and pen?
