Will everything be perfect now
Given everything has fallen down
I don't see it getting where I'd want it to be
I'll take anything right now to give me hope, not shoot it down
You won't be the one who will, and no one really should

I don't see that much in me
It must be harder than it looks
Where are these things you say you see
It must be harder than it looks

You're probably right, I'm always wrong
Even though I'm living through it all
Do we know what's going on with people we don't know
Everything is as it seems
Until we finally ask what it means
Then it all falls through the cracks like sand in the breeze

Every time that I find when I feel like it failed I will turn all the thoughts on myself
It never fails

Harder Than It Looks

This song needs a lot of work, but I ain't got the time to play producer right now. This is the last week of FAWM and I gotta make 4 more songs by Friday.

LYRICS:
Don’t you waste your time feeling sorry for yourself my dear
We both know what is going through your mind

Don’t you waste your time on me I only want to do the things that
hurt you and I will not change these any time

I just want to take your hand
say I’m sorry for what I’ve done
but I can’t keep you here anymore

Don’t you waste your time waiting for me to change ‘cause I can’t do it
This is how I treat the ones I start to love

Don’t you give your heart away this easily again my friend
The only one who can keep you safe is yourself

I'm Sorry For What I've Done

Written for FAWM2016. First song of the challenge! Also first time using a melodica.

LYRICS:
You didn’t make the grade
And why, why should you try
It’s never enough
Even though, it’s all that you’ve got

And all they have to say is
you just need to smile
But I just want to sleep

You even tried it out
But try, try with your might
Expectations
Darken the light

And all they have to say is
you just need to smile
But I just want to sleep
and shut off the world tonight

I didn’t want to change but I’ll try

Sleep

Recorded for FAWM 2016. Warts and all.

LYRICS:
Taking this one to the grave
one foot in the gutter
when everybody thought I was brave.
Breathe now that it’s done
how did I pull it off
I guess that no one thought I was wrong.

Sun shines down on me
I’ve got everything
but it feels like rain.
When will lightning hit me
It’ll happen soon
and I hope there’s no pain.

Lightning striking down on me
is this where I go wrong?
I’ve got nothing to hold on
but I carry on.

Lightning

It's my birthday today. Recorded this for FAWM 2016

LYRICS:
It’s my birthday and I think I’ve finally figured out
It’s my birthday and I haven’t got it figured out
It’s my birthday and I hope it’s not too late
It’s my birthday and will I ever set things straight

I know I’ve got a ways
to make everything okay
Will this be the year
when everything becomes clear

It’s my birthday when will I ever get it right
It’s my birthday this ain’t the time to rewrite
It’s my birthday but I haven’t done anything wrong
It’s my birthday I can’t believe it’s been this long

[melodica goodness]

It’s my birthday and how many more do I have left
It’s my birthday should I be wearing my Sunday best
It’s my birthday and again I am alone
It’s my birthday why does it chill me to the bone

It's My Birthday

A demo song for FAWM2018. Written in 20 minutes, recorded in one take on one track. Would like to expand this more later.

LYRICS
I usually can sleep just fine
but lately you got slowly loosin my mind
You've got something crazy
That I couldnt really live without

...And the thing of it is is that
I never realized you even had me that bad
You've got something crazy
That I couldnt really live without

Somedays it's not so bad
Yeah sometimes it's just great
But when I think your name
I cant even see straight
You've got me crazy...
crazy too

You've got something crazy
That I couldnt really live without

Got Me Crazy

Today is the 60th anniversary of when Buddy Holly died in a plane crash. His music was pretty inspirational for me growing up. So, I recorded one of his songs.

That's What They Say (Buddy Holly Cover)

I'm hungry right now and you're just sleeping there.
Why don't you hear me staring at you from across the room?

Just please open up the blinds.
I want to see outside.
Looking at everything pass by
The squirrels ought to die.
And if you never wake up
I'm going to give it a try.

You threw your sandwich in the trash, can I have some of that?
Why are you so mad? You pick it up every time.

Why do you leave me every day?
It's boring stuck inside.
Knocked the toys under the couch.
They ran away from me.
But I know that you'll come back
and everything will be just fine.

I don't know why you've been so sad. Is that girl coming back?
All the water spilled again. Do something about that.

We've been together for so long
and the years are passing on.
Looking at everything pass by
(Squirrels still should die)
And when all my lives are through
Please know that I loved you.
