Last time we spoke you said you were going away
So I packed my bags and left the very next day
Oh honey, never had a reason to stay
But you're always on my mind

Years go by and your memory fades away
Do you remember the things that you used to say
Oh love, you don't know the half of it
You're always on my mind

You don't have to come my way, I don't wanna play your game
Looking back at the old days, should've known that you'd never stay
You don't have to come my way, I don't wanna feel the same
Looking back at the old days

Time has passed and we've both changed
But i know that we could start again
Oh honey, you know that would never last
But you're always on my mind

You don't have to come my way, I don't wanna play your game
Looking back at the old days, should've known that you'd never stay
You don't have to come my way, I don't wanna feel the same
Looking back at the old days

When we used to love, was when we had enough
When we used to love, was when we had enough
When we used to love, was when we had enough
When we used to love, was when we had enough

You don't have to come my way
Looking back at the old days 

You don't have to come my way, I don't wanna play your game
Looking back at the old days, should've known that you'd never stay
You don't have to come my way, I don't wanna feel the same
Looking back at the old days

Old Days (w/ Avery Schmalz)

Colors In My Mind is a variety recording of musical styles that I enjoy; rock, blues and soul. I recorded and mixed the project in 2 days playing all instruments and singing. I hope you enjoy!

No Words

Catchy tropical beat with conversational lyrics harkens back to Paul Simon and makes this a perfect track for summer.  It’s about a girl telling a guy not to obsess over their chance meeting.  “Don’t get it stuck in your head” will get stuck in your head.

Stuck In Your Head

Lyrics:

When I was walking along the freeway
Through the windmills of my mind
Spinning clouds of confusion
About the shifting sands of time
Acting out like a child
All paralyzed and wild
An old man told me
Yeah, he told me

"Find yourself somewhere to go
Troubled child, somewhere to go
Things may change, stones may roll
Take some new solid ground and call it home
Call it home"

When I was lying by the seashore
With my heart scattered around
In pieces given thanklessly 
To those who let me down
When I said goodbye to all my tethers
And started rising from the ground
They couldn't hold me
They couldn't hold me

I had to find myself somewhere to go
Lonesome child, somewhere to go
Things may change, people go
Take some new solid ground and call it home

Doo doo doo

So now that we're drifting off to somewhere
Vast and new and hard to understand
I'd stop feeling lost my friend
If you'd just take my hand
And I'll take comfort in knowing
That you made me who I am
And that you showed me
Oh, you showed me

You helped me find myself somewhere to go
And we've had seven good years goin'
Things may change, look how we've grown
But we will never forget our home
Forget our home

Doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
