lyrics:
I’m givin up on guessin my future, there’s just too much that’s gonna change;
I’m givin up on tryin to look forward, there’s just way too much that’s gonna change;
But no matter where we are girl, I hope we stay the same.
Yeah, time move a bit more slowly, give me a chance to catch my breath;
Too fast, leaves me winded, give me a chance to catch my breath;
Cause this constant tic-toc in my head is gonna leave me deaf.
When I am an old man, I hope you’ll still be my girl;
Rockin a porch chair and a beer can, I hope you’ll still wanna be my girl;
Cause when you’re around me girl we got all the time in the world.

Long time, no blues

Lyrics:

If I am confined to that old stone tower, 
Then I’ll just get me a gun.
Cause one day I’ll stop drawing blanks.
All chambers empty save one. 
And with that, my days in here are done.
I don’t care if I’m cursed, I don’t care if it means that I will be exposed. 
Cause lips that are sealed and then ripped wide open are better than a heart that stays closed.

I’m lost in thought, because it’s unfamiliar territory 
And I’ve had too much of this cinematic love-life story 
No it’s not like in the movies except when I’m with you

In time you’ll find that life aint perfect
If not, well then I really wish I was you.
‘Cause I’ve seen love and heartbreak in spades, and a lifetime of promises fade.
I doubt what they say ‘bout love is true
But goddamn you can’t just dwell on past mistakes and regrets and avoid the self-evident bliss
You know falling in love is never your choice but staying in love really is.

I’m lost in thought, because it’s unfamiliar territory 
And I’ve had too much of this cinematic love-life story 
No it’s not like in the movies except when I’m with you

Hey baby, let’s make a movie.

Cinematic Life

Lyrics:
We are for each other and one another.
Then laugh love, leaning back into my arms.
Life is not simply a paragraph, 
And were not just one of its stories.

One last thing
I have to sing
Before my worst deeds take you away from me.

CHORUS:
If I could be anything in the whole wide world, 
I'd be your teardrop baby.
Born in your eyes, living on your cheeks, dying on your lips,
And there I'd stay.

Half past three, it's that old time again
When we kiss just to remind us that we're here.
Come to close to me, maybe I'm dreaming.
But to me, the aim of waking is to dream.

Watch out love, were moving forward,
And this train is headed somewhere way to fast.
Last I saw, you sat next to me.
Now my only company's an empty seat.

One last thing
I have to sing
Before my worst deeds take you away from me.

CHORUS

Oh darling, kisses are a better fate than yours.
Oh baby, kisses are a better fate than mine.
Oh no, kisses are a better fate than ours.

CHORUS

My Worst Deeds

Werewolves, Oh My!

LYRICS:

First off, I think I might be changing 
Just like all the promises you’re making
Transform into something slightly scary
Speaking of, seems the situations hairy

No hair, no cares
But you out there       

Out there, you make me nervous ‘bout the moon
Cause at night when you tell me you’ll be home soon
Reciprocated only from one side
The monster in me cannot stand to hide

I’m still searching for the formula
So that one day I can show to ya
That monsters only show up in our dreams

But you’ve grown too old for fairy tales
Regardless of our weekly mail
But time can put a hold on everything

So it seems…


Werewolves, Oh My!

Coldest Night- originally performed by A Day Away

Coldest Night

Lyrics:

Heard you singing my song again   
It’s about lovely girl and a misunderstood man

CHORUS:
Who could it be
Except you and me
In these songs
And I hope you’d agree
That together we’d be
Right where we belong

Ill harmonize my playjerise, just close your eyes
Nothing but us the music and our breathing nearby
I like her, I like you, not like that, but…
Close the elevator door, let’s make this night fly by

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
You just sat there
Curling your hair 
With a smile
I don’t know you
But I want to
And maybe know a little bit more

But still, 
I like those fake tattoos 


Fake Tattoos

POISON
It’s way too soon
To be seeing you.
Young love always seems like fleeting news.
I’m striving for
A little more
Self-acceptance and acquired taste for metaphors like
That box you put me in
With ribbon bows and skull-shaped pins.
I’m not sure yet but now I’m thinking that
Now I know just what you’re hinting at.
 
CHORUS
Who are you kidding?
I’ve told you all this before
That girl’s too stunning
For me to simply ignore
That girl
 
Now listen up,
It’s bad enough
That entire castles crumble just ‘cause they’re corrupt.
Well there you see
What that castle did to me-
Took my will to live
And chopped it up with baring teeth
Sayin’, ‘why you always look at her
With dazed glaze eyes and a kittens purr?
I wish you looked like that at me.’
But it’s clear that we disagree and
 
CHORUS

She’s like poison

LYRICS

Things could be, well so much worse
Insensitive to all this pacing, pacing
I can’t always put myself first
I’m tired of the stress that you call ‘dating'

CHORUS
(Dan)
We are moving away from                                                 
Just a conventional                                                              
So far it feels like Im torn                                                    
Even more than before we were                                      
In love                                                                                     

(Renee)
 We are
Just not in love
So far I'm not sure
 If I've ever even been
In love

Have I just waited too long
To tell you that maybe I think of a time when
I'd mention other boys in songs
Kiss someone else, live for myself,
And simply laugh cause it happened

CHORUS

Just brush that dirt off your shoulder                               Growing up, getting older
Just brush that dirt off your shoulder                               Feeling up, getting over you
Just brush that ash off your shoulder                              Growing up, getting older
Just brush that ash off your shoulder                              Feeling up, getting over you

"Your Song"
originally performed by Elton John
covered by Dan James

Your Song

LYRICS:

Illiterate diction, I’m talking but slipping
On words like, “I’m sorry,” but something is missing

You’re worth as much as you convince yourself to be
And you’re worth more than you were ever worth to me

CHORUS
Your smile, your voice
Entrance the boys
The glint in your eye
And an itching in your thigh

It itches for me but the alcohol sees
That when the boy itches it’s unfortunately not me
There’s still a sting, the gash of goodbye
I’d rather just settle for a lifetime of high

You’re worth as much as you convince yourself to be
And you’re worth more than you were ever worth to me

CHORUS

A clinical trial of whether I’m able
To live with a soul and stay mentally stable

Hey, whatcha doing today?
Laughing, laughing about yesterday

Illiterate diction, I’m talking but slipping
On words like, “I promise,” and then she starts whispering-
“You’re worth as much as you convince yourself to be,
And you’re worth more than the entire world to me”
