So beautiful... was juat letting Soundcloud play what it wanted me to hear, which I often do.  This came on and I immeidiatley got up to go see, thinking I could share a discovery with likeminded friends/family...   oh well! Better luck next time!

Sheesh im in love? I have feelings? I feel pain

Idk why but this is my favorite version of this song

Nice that on the LP version you took the trumpet line here and sang it!

lyrics:

why do i keep coming back to this?
it's like a book I can't quite figure out
so I read it in pieces
sometimes it hurts
gotta set it down for a bit
but I always come back to this

why do I keep running into this?
every time I make a wrong turn
I end up on your doorstep
sometimes it hurts
gotta step away for a bit
but I always come back to this

I always come back to this

and maybe I'm stupid
for thinking the world might end
and maybe I'm stupid
for thinking you'd be with me when it did
and maybe you'd be better off
if you never saw me again
again

but god damn I keep coming back to this
I've tried to understand
but I can't make it make sense
maybe its time to just
kind of go with it

cause even if it's not now
I will end up here somehow
it's physics or it's fate and I can't stop it
I always come back to this
I always come back to this

physics or fate (voice memo)

lyrics:

it's not a competition
but maybe it is
and I think I'll win when you least expect it
slip off your socks and then
take her to bed
I will show up when you least expect it

I always do

but I think I found someone to buffer the pain
I think I found what you have in your veins
so I'll never lose
and it's never true
I lie every day
but I will always hate losing to you

it's not a competition
but I moved on first
and you must have something to say about it
tell all your friends that I hurt you worse
cause you know I'll have something to say about it

I always do

but I think I found someone to buffer the pain
I think I found what you have in your veins
so I'll never lose
and it's never true
I lie every day
but I will always hate losing to you

I thought I found someone to buffer the pain
but it didn't last and it wasn't the same
still I'll never lose
but he's never you
I lie every day

I thought I found someone, or that's just what I say
to help keep the devil and his dogs away
it's an ego thing, true
but it's time you knew
I die every day
cause I will always wait for you

it's not a competition (voice memo)

wrote this song from the perspective of joel in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind :) new favorite movie

lyrics:

i'm watching everything go sideways
and i can't do a thing to make it stop
i won't remember this tomorrow
but i'll be sad when i wake up

i wish we were back in your apartment
i want you to sing me to sleep
i'll forget my wallet so i'll have to come back
and you won't forget me

thought it was only fair
but i swear i didn't think it through this far
you chose this first
so i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
i don't want to see this part

i'm watching everything go sideways
feels like someone's messing with my head
i'm not prepared to never know you again
i'm sorry, can we stop this instead?

thought it was only fair
but i swear i didn't think it through this far
you chose this first
so i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
i don't want to see this part

when this is over
i'll never know that
i ever missed you at all
i'll be a stranger and
you will be kissing somebody
that i don't know
i'll take the train to the beach
and i'll sit on the sand
and i'll never know
i had a life before this
i don't want this

thought it was only fair
but i swear i didn't think it through this far
you chose this first
so i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
i don't want to see this part

for now (from my bathtub)

here's a little song I wrote a year ago - it's about the grief of missing somebody you can no longer love.

lyrics:

v1:
It’s morning in your eyes
so my nights, they don’t need the light
your seasons take their sweet time
still, my bedroom’s perfumed of last july
and I’d be fine, someday soon
if only he were you

 v2:
he lets me take my time 
and I let him take you off my mind 
I don’t reach for you in shifting paradigms
yet, I search for you in his eyes
and I’d be fine, someday soon
if only he were you

bridge:
when you were with me
when I was sixteen
and tangled in you
oh, let me just stay here
I’ll pack up and leave soon
I swear I’ll forget you
just let me stay here, my dear

v3/outro:
‘cause it’s morning in your eyes 
and my nights are needing the light

if only he were you - (demo)

lyrics:

where did you go, angelina?
why did you take my foolish heart?
i should've known, angelina
i was never right for that part

i could've sworn, angelina
we would get hitched and you'd be a bitch about
getting us there on time
i'd thank the lord for angelina
oh, so i guess the wedding
i'll never be getting
will live in the back of my mind

i never loved you more than when you said goodbye
cause maybe i knew that love wasn't honest if you had to lie
i never loved you more than when you walked away
cause maybe i knew, angelina, you'd never stay

* trumpet solo ;) *

are you coming home, angelina?
i think i'm done trying to hold on to you
i think you should know, angelina
that i'd probably fall again if you wanted me to
and she said i love you so i said it back but i
wished she was you

angelina (demo)

lyrics:

it's ok to cry
every day if you have to
it's ok to sleep
peace from the war

it's alright to sing
let it bring joy to the sorrow
it's alright to cry
some more

i don't know your pain but i will fight
i won't let this go even if doing what's right 
isn't easy
i'm tired, believe me, but
so are you

i don't know your pain but i will stand
i won't let this go so take my hand
it's not easy
i'm tired, believe me, but
so are you

so are you

it's ok to cry
or to laugh if you need to
it's ok to sleep
peace from the war

so are you (demo)

lyrics:

you got a slurpee for free
i caught you lookin at me
in the 7-11
under fluorescent lights

we walked in comfy silence
footsteps down familiar sidewalks
knowing that we were
here in our dreams last night

all my ghosts are with me
i know you feel them too
riding shotgun next to your free slurpee
they know all of my habits
but they don’t know about you
i hope that’s true

we made sangria and failed
i spilled mac n cheese on my pants
and thought about kissing you
underneath kitchen lights

all my ghosts are with me
i know you feel them too
oh they just stand there while we’re
taking shots of brandy
they know all of my habits
but they don’t know about you
i hope that’s true

i can see it now
the wedding of the year
i can see it now
he stands up there and wipes his tears
i can see it now
when all my ghosts disappear
i can see it crystal clear

you got a slurpee for free
i caught u lookin at me
in the 7-11
under fluorescent lights

and all my ghosts were with me
i know you felt them too
watching as i started to get dizzy
cause i hate all of my habits
but i happen to love you
i know that’s true

all my ghosts (voice memo)

lyrics:

i've been falling in love with you from the moment we met
it's been consistent, a constant persistence and it hasn't stopped yet
it's cold but the window is open, and we sit on the ledge
breathing in smoke
breathing in all of this moment
so i don't forget

i've been falling in love with you since september 13th
i didn't know why you were on my mind so frequently
and when you kissed me for the first time i didn't want you to leave
holding you close
holding in those three words
that could change everything

on my couch, watching tv
then you paused it, turned to see me
and you told me that you loved me
nothing was ever the same
there has never been a moment
when i wish you hadn't paused it
on my couch as we watched the office
nothing was ever the same

i've been falling in love with you since the moment we met
and i haven't stopped yet

haven't stopped yet (demo)

sometimes - mac ayres (cover)

are we flesh and bones,
are we just a dream?
are we lost or found,
or in between?
will we ever get where we wanna be?
did we invent heaven to keep us in line?
like the stars and the moon are the ones telling time,
nothing could stop me from wondering why,
but you’re one less question,
does the sky get tired or holding our prayers,
or do they even make it up there?
even if i could see behind the curtain
maybe the knowledge would be just a burden,
still wouldn’t stop me from feeling uncertain,
but you’re one right answer
that never keeps me guessing
some understanding,
you’re one less question

one less question,
you’re one right answer
you’re one less question
