In the Year 2025

When the morning comes
(Mark I Anderson)

I play the radio
A little soothing sound to keep me sane
I tried to let it go
But all I see is your face 
In my brain / calling me / calling me / you know

That I can’t walk away
I try / I stumble / and I fall apart 
If tears are cried today 
They’ll fall silently here
In the dark / all alone / all alone / I pray

[Chorus]
That when the morning comes
Your memory will remain
Fill my soul and rearrange
The broken places here inside 
And when the evening comes
I’ll put those dreams away
Dim the lights and turn the page
On a chapter full of tears
But then again…

Old friends are always there 
Mathew / Michael / now I don’t recall
The memories that we shared
Are all so ghostly thin
Their shadow falls / where no one sees /  inside of me / somewhere

Before the moment’s gone
There’s just one thing / I need to know
If what I feel is wrong
Then why does my heart pound so  
Night and day / day and night / again tonight / so strong

[Chorus]
That when the morning comes
Your memory will remain
Fill my soul and rearrange
The broken places here inside 
And when the evening comes
I’ll put my dreams away
Dim the lights and turn the page
On a chapter full of tears
I’ll disappear / but then again…

[Bridge]
I’m crumpled up  / And thrown away
I break the silence / Just to say 
Go to hell / go to hell / for all I care
I’ll see you there…

[Chorus]
And when the morning comes
The memories remain
To fill my soul and rearrange
The broken places here inside 
And when the evening comes
I’ll put my dreams away
Dim the lights and turn the page
On a chapter full of tears
You’ll disappear / but then again…

When the morning comes

Song-A-Week #23: [INSERT NAME HERE]

Lyrics

[verse #1]
Amelia
Do you ever feel the clouds between your fingers anymore?
Amelia
In the sandy beach that is your mind have I ever washed ashore?
A decade's gone by since I've last heard you cry
Have you still been flyin’ through the sky?

[chorus]
Well I hope your dreams are soarin’
and the desert’s not burned you alive
May your compass always guide you
Through the storms and darkest night

[verse #2]
Amelia
Are you painting ochre sunsets with your wings spread wide?
Amelia
In the silent moments, do you think of passing time?
Though you’re far away, I hope to hear you say
That you’ve been chasing days, findin' your way

Peanut And Socks

Lyrics: 

Named after a car
But you hate to drive
And you can’t ride a bike
So we walk at midnight
Kick around the playground
Hang from the monkey bars
Tell me you feel it too
And then we kiss in the dark

My heart’s riding in a
Mercedes convertible
Pink, vintage, reversible
We are flying above
The interstate highway
Clouds making out our names

Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes
I think I got the bends/Benz
Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes
Coming up for air too fast
But I promise I’ll always
Drive you home

Creating our world
‘Tween two spots on the lake
Caramel swirls
In a shared ice cream
Let’s not talk about school
Or how we’re gonna die
Our new only rule
Follow the butterflies

My heart’s riding in a 
Mercedes convertible
Stick shift at your beck and call
And we are falling in love
The usual kind of way
Making all kind mistakes

Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes
I think I got the bends/Benz
Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes
Coming up for air too fast
But I promise I’ll always
Drive you home

The moon is full
I’m under your spell
Clutch the throttle
I might need some help
I’ll learn to touch you
Well if you let me
Laid bare in the backseat
‘Til your tank is empty
Mercedes, Mercedes
Mercedes, Mercedes 

My hearts riding in a
Mercedes convertible
Pink, vintage, reversible
We are flying above
The interstate highway
Clouds making out our names 

Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes
I think I got the bends/Benz
Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes
Coming up for air too fast
But I promise I’ll always
Drive you home

Mercedes

Not really sure what is going on with this one here. But I learned a few things along the way and thats all that matters

Lyrics: 
When I wake up alone At home
I fall apart 
Blurry pictures Inside my mind 
Can really hurt 
When I leave you alone at home 
I fall apart

Hurts (r/song a week)

Love is love
(Mark I Anderson)
 
When I was young, I tried to hide my fear
Like the secrets that I kept
I thought no one knew
Only me and you
How could one of us forget
 
Now the seasons changed, and left us here
Like an old forgotten song
Feling insecure
Both needing more
You can’t tell me we were wrong
 
[Chorus]
Because – love is love / love is love is love
In the end there’ll never be enough
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love
 
The senior prom, it came and went
But we never took the chance
We didn’t know
If we could go
When we should have learned to dance
 
It’s so hard to hear, that still small voice
When you’re silenced by the crowd
Somehow time reveals
The way it feels
When you’re learning to be proud
 
[Chorus]
Because – love is love / love is love is love
In the end there’ll never be enough
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love
 
[Bridge]
You kiss a boy, and I did too
We were trembling inside
We didn’t know, what else to do
So, we just said goodbye
I still wish we’d of tried…
 
[Chorus]
Because – love is love / love is love is love
In the end there’ll never be enough
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love
Don’t put your rules on what I’m speaking of
Because – love is love / love is love is love…

Love is love

Untie the Knot

lyrics:

the angels flew to the ocean
the angels flew to the ocean
and like the waves
the day will break
the sun, will find
its place in the sky
and cast no shadow
on the ground 
where lion's teeth
have taken hold
of me
please release

In the Year 2025
