Fourth Quarter

V1.
Got the news today.  I’m blown away,
And I just can’t comprehend.
My anxiety gets the best of me
As my glass runs out of sand.
And the road I’ve been on, for oh so long
Is coming to an end.
I’m heading home, but I’m not alone
As the good Lord takes my hand.
 
Chorus
I’d do it all again my friends
If I could do it all with you
I found everything that I’d been searching for
And made every dream come true.
It’s been a good run, towards the setting sun
As my time is getting shorter
I’d like some overtime, not this finish line.
Living life in the fourth quarter

V2.
Life seems to flash by in an instant
As I look back on my past
And when you hit that final countdown
The seconds tick away so fast
Is it really done?  I’ve been having fun,
And time really does just fly.
Where I’m headed is all I’d hoped for,
But I’m not ready to say goodbye.

Chorus
I’d do it all again my friends
If I could do it all with you.
I found everything that I’d been searching for
And made every dream come true.
It’s been a good run, towards the setting sun
As my time is getting shorter.
I’d like some overtime, not this finish line.
Living life in the fourth quarter.

[Instrumental]

Chorus
I’d do it all again my friends
If I could do it all with you.
I found everything that I’d been searching for
And made every dream come true.
It’s been a good run, towards the setting sun
As my time is getting shorter.
I’d like some overtime, not this finish line.
Living life in the fourth quarter.

I’d like some overtime, not this finish line.
Living life in the fourth quarter







Fourth Quarter (2025)

If you go into my eyes
can you see the broken inside
And if I keep pushing you away
are you sure you'd even stay

Pre
I'm simple, complicated
brave and terrified
Without listenin, can you hear me cry
Without feeling, can you touch me inside

CHORUS
I feel nothing
I feel everything
My blood is thin
I bruise out, I bruise in
Outside I heal
but inside is too real
I feel, I feel
Inside is too real

I love too hard or not enough
Would you even want to keep up
And if you can go the way I go
can you survive my lonely road

Pre
Will you be the light that shines
while I hide this dark of mine
Without listening, can you hear me cry
Without feeling, can you touch me inside

CHORUS
I feel nothing
I feel everything
My blood is thin
I bruise out, I bruise in
Outside I heal
but inside is too real
I feel, I feel
Inside is too real
Outside I heal
but inside is too real
I feel, I feel
Inside is too real

Bridge
I look in your eyes, do I trust what I see
Cause salt can look like sugar, yeah, it looks so sweet

CHORUS
I feel nothing
I feel everything
My blood is thin
I bruise out, I bruise in
Outside I heal
but inside is too real
I feel, I feel
Inside is too real
Outside I heal
but inside is too real
I feel, I feel
Inside is too real


Is Too Real

Do I breakout of this border
Unpaint myself from this corner
Break away where I'm safe and warm
Get myself caught up in a storm

Do I dare go through these dark clouds
How far could I just venture out
Am I strong enough to survive
The fury of what I decide

Lift:
Take flight in the wind, can a bird fly with just one wing

Chorus:
I'm always a dreamer
A brave heart in the dark
Soaring the horizon
Bright as a northern star
I don't want to forever
Close my eyes and have to wonder
If I needed light'ning
to make my own thunder
Always a dreamer

Take a gamble see where I land
Just leave it in God's hands
I want my dreams to fall out of the sky
Shine bright like a golden sunrise

Lift:
Be wild and free with the values taught me

Chorus

Bridge:
Run as walls tumble down
I may stumble and fall
I’ll make each moment count
In spite of my faults

Chorus


Always A Dreamer

If love were an ocean, there’d be no land
If love were a desert, there’d be only sand
You’re like an ocean I’m falling into
and I can’t fall without you

Lift
I’ve opened my heart

CHORUS
You give it all
You love my flaws
I let you in
Touch places I
have never been
I let you in
You are the star
that leads me home
I let you in
You light the dark
inside my soul
I let you in
I don’t have to be perfect
You love me without limit
When I dream
I let you in
When I breathe
I let you in

You show me where to look, don’t tell me what to see
Show me how to love the scars that built me
You fight for me when I want to give up
Lead me through the pain when life gets rough

Lift
I’ve opened my heart

CHORUS


I Let You In

PARTS OF SPEECH

You send me in a spin
every time you talk
Your voice is so suggestive
I have to stop and pause

As each delightful vowel
slides from your lips
oh, what a turn on
I'm so loving this

CHORUS
Intoxicating verbs
in my head
You sure know how to
get the right things said
Ambitious adjectives
and conjunctions flyin free
I could listen every day to
your parts of speech

Your sultry syllables
can sure inspire a girl
Each gorgeous consonant
melting my world

Your dangling participles
are so encouraging
Give me some interjections
like wow! whoa! boom! ah! zing!

CHORUS

Ending
Every in, at, on, and of
I love
your parts of speech

Wear You All Over Me
by Zena Byrne

[Verse 1]
That old t-shirt you left behind
Still smells like your cologne and summertime
I wear it when the nights get cold
Pretend your arms still hold me close

[Pre-Chorus]
Every thread pulls me back in
Like your fingers tracing skin
I close my eyes so I can see
What we used to be

[Chorus]
I wanna wear you all over me
Like denim faded perfectly
Your kiss on my neck, your hands on my skin
Every memory stitched under my grin
I want your love like my Wrangler jeans 
Broken in, soft and clingin’ to me
Yeah, I wanna wear ya all over me
Oh, I wanna wear ya all over me

[Verse 2]
Lipstick stains on your flannel shirt
Hung it up, but God, it hurts
Still got your boots by my back door
Like you might walk in like before

[Pre-Chorus]
Your ghost is hangin’ in this place
Like leather laced on satin grace
No matter how I try to leave
You’re a part of me

[Chorus]
I wanna wear you all over me
Like perfume on a springtime breeze
Your laugh in the hall, your breath to my lips 
Every memory etched in seamless bliss 
I want your love like my favorite tee
Broken in, soft and clingin’ to me
Yeah, I want to wear ya all over me
Oh, I wanna wear ya all over me

[Bridge]
I don’t need no runway style
Just your touch to fuel the fire
Caus’ you’re the thread I can’t unwind
Wrapped around this heart of mine

[Final Chorus]
I want to wear you all over me
Like ink that don’t wash out clean
From morning light to midnight dreams
Every memory stitched under my chin 
I want your love like my Wrangler jeans
Broken in, soft, and clingin’ to me
Yeah, I wanna wear ya all over me
Oh, I wanna wear ya  all over me too

WEAR YOU ALL OVER ME ( Male)

This Is All There Is (I'm Good)

Verse 1
Music hummin’ low in a corner booth,
Ice cubes meltin' down like time passin' through.
Clock tickin' like a crawl, each moment wears me thin,
Been thinkin’ ’bout if we were strangers again.
Feels like you’ve been my always, where do we begin?
Your half-grin lands like you already know,
Every little bit of you keeps pullin' me deeper in.

Pre-Chorus 1
And maybe all this time I’ve just been runnin’ blind,
'Cause this feels like the slice of life I’ve been tryin’ to find.

Chorus
If this is all there is,
I’m good.
Don’t need a thing I thought I would.
Every second with you feels like I can’t miss,
So if you’re all I get…
Then this is all there is, yeah, I’m good.

Verse 2
We skipped the plans, poured another round,
Talkin' ’bout everything and nothin' while the sun went down.
Pourin’ your secret desires like waves breakin’ on the shore,
Sayin’ things that hit me like I’ve heard ’em never before.
I used to chase the dreams I couldn’t afford,
Now I spend every minute tryin' to deserve what I adore.
No maps, no signs, no bucket list —
Guess I’m finally home where my little world fits.

Pre-Chorus 2
And I don’t know what I thought I’d need,
But I’m all right right here, just you and me.

Chorus
If this is all there is,
I’m good.
Don’t need a thing I thought I would.
Every second with you feels like I can’t miss,
So if you’re all I get…
Then this is all there is, yeah, I’m good.

Bridge
Thought “more” meant miles, meant chasing new,
But “more” is nothing if it ain’t with you.
Now I see clear, I finally understand —
Sometimes enough is just holdin' your hand

Chorus (Final / Big Finish)
If this is all there is,
I’m good.
Don’t need a thing I thought I would.
Every second with you feels like I can’t miss,
So if you’re all I get…
Then this is all there is.
Yeah… this is all there is, and I’m good.

Outro
Yeah… if this is all there is…
I’m good.
