Childhood Dreams (Piano Instrumental)

A Walk Outside

Childhood Dreams

One day I’ll wander across the open fields
Within the boundaries my fate reveals
And I’ll return to what I’ve seen
In my childhood dreams

I will remember the places that I’ve gone
And all the people who came along
We had some fun; those days are done
Part of childhood dreams

And now I’ll always remember
On days when I’m all alone
The things I love to remember
The way it feels to be home
The way I would love to be home

One day I’ll listen to children as they sing
I’ll hear the laughter; the joy it brings
And I’ll recall I had it all
In my childhood dreams

Psychoanalysis

Wake up in the morning, falling from your bed
Do you still remember all the things you never said?
Can't escape the nightmares swimming in your head
Go insane any day, any day

Maybe you just need psychoanalysis
To get her out of your mind
Someone could help you see what the trouble is
And read between the lies
Maybe you could use someone to talk to
And get back to feeling fine

Don’t know what you’re saying but you try to talk it through
Speech is for the eloquent; it wasn’t meant for you
Every interaction leaves you more confused
Hide away from the day, hide away

Sometimes you get the feeling
That your troubles are all around
When will you quit believing
Everyone is out to run you down?

Wake up in the morning; still the same old song
Do you ever contemplate the reasons you were wrong?
Now you’ll have to face them; you knew it all along
On your own; all alone, all alone

Maybe the answer is psychoanalysis
Yeah

Psychoanalysis

Goodnight

We’ve reached an impasse
A kind of barrier that takes away the chance of resurrecting
the love I knew we had
I think we’re disconnecting

All I know is that we’ve taken it this far
Sometimes things are meant to be
And sometimes they aren’t
Maybe it’s a sign
We should say goodbye
And goodnight

We had a good run
The kind of chemistry that sets alight the sun
seemed never ending
We had it all for real, but now we’re just pretending

I never want to hurt you, darling
I know you understand
It’s out of love that we are falling
I can’t go on

We’ve gone our own ways
And it is clear that there is no one here to blame
for this conclusion
Our love was infinite, but now it’s an illusion

Goodnight

Fool's Gold

I used to tell myself that everything would be okay
And I would strike it rich by moving somewhere far away
And so I made the move
With everything to lose
Long ago, I was sold fool’s gold

My inexperience was evident in many ways
I thought I’d win no matter who invited me to play
And when I lost the game
I had myself to blame
Long ago, I was sold fool’s gold

And as the years went by I knew that I was on my own
No destination was a place that I could call my home
And so I gave it up
The hope of finding love
Long ago, I was sold fool’s gold

Now someone listening might think that this old song is sad
But they don’t know about the fortune that I’ve really had
'Cause I have found the one
You are my only one
With you I’ll forget that I was sold fool’s gold

Fool's Gold

Keep Each Other Cold - Take 1

Gently Down

I’ve seen it before
I know how it ends
Soon you will say we can only be friends right now
So let me gently down

Playing the game
Learning the rules
Nobody said it was easy for fools like me
So let me gently down

Soon I’ll stop running
Losing my ground
Without your loving
So let me gently down

Wasting away
Losing my bets
I don’t believe I could take more regret right now
So let me gently down

Hiding away
Here in the night
I wanna pretend that I’m doing all right somehow
So let me gently down

Gently Down

I just found this early demo of "Love & War" while I was sorting through some old computer files today.

Home Demo: Love & War

Brian Hoffer was born and raised. As a child, he was so advanced for his age that, on his 12th birthday, he turned 15. He now looks forward to being a teenager again (when he turns 113). Until then, Brian writes songs while living and working in his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His nickname is Bryan, and his last name is pronounced with a long "o," as if it were Hofer. Brian is incapable of understanding why anyone would discontinue production of Wacky Wafers. He often wonders how much of his knowledge was gleaned from watching bad TV sitcoms and worries that most of that information was, is, and will forever remain untrue. Brian recently completed his first album and invites you to join him as he ventures Into the Boulevard. On February 15, 2012, Brian was grateful that SoundCloud named him "SoundClouder of the Day."
