Do You Miss Us?

One day were okay
And The next, the pain
Busy doing nothing
And living life the same
Remember the spark, The one That made us two
The match has been lit
The one to lite the fuse
Do you miss us?
Do you miss the nights we slipped away
The days we became
The Moments we embraced
Do you miss us?
We met up again
When You said it was okay
I think this is the ending
We’ve always pushed away
Oh Paulina, I see those wicked eyes
And they are telling me
To go back home
To lay in bed and cry
Why don’t you miss me
I’ve always been with you before
Driving up and down your block
Just to linger on some more
Don’t you miss us?
-Solo-
When the phone hangs up
You know it was meant to be
You came so far
To leave it all behind us now
Just so you can be set free
My Paulina
Of course I’ll miss you everyday
If your happy I’ll admit
That I just hope that your okay

Bright New Day Pt. 1

Drinkin lemonade and wearing cashmere suits
Walk-in down the boulevard with alternate routes
Bright new day
How it resonates the way
I’ll be thinking what could possibly turn this around
On this bright new day
How the rain clouds could be forming when i looked at you there
Standing on the corner of
Heartbreak for your sake
Don’t say you won’t take
Loneliness and Heart ache
Is how you face the new day
Your eyes are diamond rings when you tear up and cry
I ask you what is wrong and you just sit there and lie
On this bright clear day
The sun is here to say
it’s always something when you give your heart away
Dont make it so you stay
sure that you keep your heart around until the next day
So when I see you crying I can
Hold you close and count to 3
Feel your arms around me
Holding on you felt free
Like the one before
But can’t you take this old day
And mold it like its new clay
To make sure that you stay
In my heart till dawn

Up and down the winding road,
the peach trees and the olive groves
And where the trees come littered with snow
Drop leaves of amber and
fall colors come peaked withered and flow
Mother may I take the car to the corner store,
Ill be back in time for dinner and
if i'm late ill be with Jane
Down on cranberry lane
Ill be milking the cows or shoeing the horse today
While grandad is driving down cranberry lane

Cruzin down the road where the sycamores grow
You find a little town where the Santa Anna’s blow
I wanna stay here, where the city life’s slow
I wanna meet the ocean where I’ve never been before
From Kansas City to sunny Ventura CA
Sit-in in between the mountains and the silver strand,
I wanna take you to the place you’ve never been
The sunny side village, with the pier to go walk
Ventura California is the place that I love
From Kansas City to sunny Ventura CA
(Bridge)
I meet you girl in lewisville, but now i'm here if you think I will
Go back to Kansas where bar’s are crowded with ladies alike
Line dancing, horse prancing, lucky to be here
alive In sunny California
Ill be here till the end of the summer days
From Kansas City to sunny Ventura CA
Oh how the water glistens when you run your hand through the
Waves that break on the shore
Its autumn and my summer tan is strong as can be
Its sunny all year round and cool by the sea
What a long drive oh I know it will be,
From sunny California to Kansas City
But ill be back to Ventura CA next year

Right With U

As the nighttime fades it was clear that
When You wake your self up with the pain
That I caught myself awake in this dream
But then
I tried to imagine your face, then your face disappeared from my screen
You hope to believe,
That the stars you see are there to stay
Unlike the boys that said they would never leave
As I tried to hold your hand, You were falling faster than I could breathe
The warmth of sun that gleams in your eyes
Turned to embers but still, it glows inside
Waiting on the phone while you make sure that
Your dad was drunk when you slipped his gun behind your back
Organ/Guitar solo
So You gotta a lot of things going on
Why don’t you tell me where I wrong
Nothing matters when your holding on
Why don’t you Kiss me like this was our first song

Im Not The One For You

I wanna know why you left me here
After all that we’ve been through
I know Your thoughts are making you sad
And now my heart feels so blue
Not so easy when you left home
Trying to find something new
But now that your here, it is finally clear
When I saw that your through
(Chorus)
I’m not the one for you
And you know that
I’m just as messed up as your new boyfriend
I’m not the one for anyone else
Your the girl for me
I’m just not the one for you
You made me feel as I died once before
And I came back just to breathe
I love you more than you know, but my love doesn’t show
I’ll say you deserve more
You go where said you wanna go
And I’ll start to look the other way
After the break, you started to shake
And you called me at midnight, all teared up to say
(chorus)
I’m not the one for you
And you know that
I’m just messed up as your new girlfriend
I’m not the one for anyone else
Your the one for me
I just don’t know what to do

Better With Time

Sometimes when, I think to my self
I picture All the times that have passed,
those days went by so fast
I don’t wanna loose, the thoughts that I had
When I was young, I saw the people who
Wanted to hold on so bad
Now, They keep on holding,
As I grew up, I thought to my self
I wonder where I am going and I asked
Why These days go by so Fast
They came and they went, the thoughts in my head
I want something closer but
I can’t reach the end, its so sad
How, I can’t see the way, for now
(Chorus)
The darker the night, the brighter the stars
The deeper the grief, the closer to god
No matter where you think you are
Keep your heart open and know it gets better with time
(Verse)
I tried to get up, to look at my self
And picture all the times that I spent and
How these years have gone so so bad
I put on a shirt, and walked around in my house,
I took a look in the mirror and found who had been
The one behind the
frown, I was the one who was there
But how?
It made me grow up, and look at my self
And wonder why I got here and wasn’t
Tripping out, or on some meds,
or drowned, You touched my heart and said
(Chorus)
The darker the night, the brighter the stars
The deeper the grief, the closer to god
No matter where you think you are
Keep your heart open and know it gets better with time

In My Childhood

I wanna be two years old
In the arms of my gramma when I got sick or cold
I want to feel the warmth of her face on mine
When she tucked me in bed or woke up scared in the night
In my childhood
All the things I dreamt up
I thought were so good
All the nights I look back
In my childhood
I remember the days that were sad and I cried
How hard it was for me to understand
You were my friend and how I watched you go
But i can’t wait to see each other sometime again
In my childhood
All the things I dreamt up
I thought were so good
You looked in my eyes
And I took hold of your hand
Held it to close my heart
And said what you could understand
I did all the things that I could
But I wish I that could be there in my childhood

I played the song for you
but couldn’t hear the tune
You took me back and said where through
This time it felt so true
Your half the man you used to be
And you lost those years at sea
Looking through those pictures of me
Made me ask where was she
When I was gone from her you know
I lost a part of me
Ya know I was gone for a while
I just hope they have your smile
Your eyes are shinning brighter than
a million angles drums
Or a sunset, of brilliance met
Pulls the light back when its strong
Im half the man I used to be
and I lost those years at sea
Goodbye, au revoir
I bid you A Du
And laugh at life movie screen
And I just want to love you more than everyone I know
But now that I lost you there, life takes it on so slow
But ill be cool, and grown up
While you beat your little drums
harmony and briliance
Is right back where, your feeling numb
Im half the man I used to be
and I lost those years at sea
Goodbye, au revoir
I bid you A Du
To wake up to life’s lucid dream

All my life, I've waited for someone
to crawl up into my head
I never waited so long for someone to show me
where I've never been
I haven't seen the stars alone
They haven't shown me my way home
I have a feeling that you sent for me
From up above
this thought of wondering where to go
Pictures posted and I wont show.
I haven’t met a girl like you who helps to point the way back home
to help me get to where I wanna go
The summer sun is shinning brighter as you drive alone to the bar
The people faces linger their voices wither you want to see them fall
As night becomes a friendly reminder of when you didn’t have a home
You want a change of pace, it takes back to remember that you are not alone
The talk gets louder as it grows
A million pieces crumble slow
Flickers bright under the cold wet, angel buried snow
You burn the pictures of last night
When You remember seeing lights
All around the faces that cared for you when you were not alone
A flash lights pointing to a boy you were never shown
With your flower made of paper
Remember your just one more girl to show
The boy who you think is the special one
Has tossed your heart like it’s a ball to throw
One of those restless sleepless nights
On the phone saying its all right
Confessing how much he loves you
while he’s sending a text the girl next-door
You find your self not where you know
He puts your heart out in the snow
He knew your heart was there just turn it right into stone
Reflecting in the water is a face you have never shown

Mirror Phaze
03:24

You saw your self
As nothing but a part of this world
You look in the eyes
Of fate
The mirror phase watches you take
that first step
You always cherished these
Memories of life and innocence
You look at your boy
He’s so much like you
In so many ways
But the mirror phase reflects
on to darkness that covers your face
You caress him love
But You take one good look and you realize
Its somebody’s fate
(Break)
You fought your self
For something that’s part of this life
in the abyss
Of Fate
The Mirror takes on
ego and life goes on and on
The stage is now set for the clown to go entertain you all
You looked at the world,
so hopeless and bleek
And the mirror phase will blacken the colors of life peek
Breathe as you see
Take a good look and realize its no body spark to haunt
