Told me I'd worked as an engineer 
  Had a life in Michigan 
  Used to take my daughter to the lake 
  Skippin' rocks, just havin' fun

  Then it took me somewhere far away 
  Took from me all that I had 
  Now I'm puttin' in just one request 
  Can I learn to be your dad?

  Tell me 
  Tell me everything that I've missed 
  Give me 
  Give me just one chance to relive 
  My misspent years

  Father, father, won't you understand 
  There's no fixin' what's been broke 
  But if you want to make another stand 
  This whole heart is full of hope

  Mother Mary's on the other line 
  Sorry, but I've got to go 
  Call me once you hit the interstate 
  Find yourself out on the road

  It's me 
  It's my fault you've never come home 
  Help me 
  Help me trust in what can be done 
  With my misspent years

  Let's be partners in crime 
  Go from failing to fine 
  Do the unspeakable 
  Shed the guilt we've held close 
  Overturn sorrow 
  What was unsolvable 
  Is now 25 to life

My Misspent Years

Guard

This is a song dedicated to my friends and all the good times we had in college.  I'm definitely not one to live in the past, but sometimes it'd be nice to go back to a more care-free time.  It's nothing "deep", but a fun song to sing, nonetheless.

I'm With Steve Now (Live at the Hampton Taphouse)

This song was written on handbells, but impossible to record that way, so I decided to do a demo on Baritone.

Of the Ashes (FAWM 4/14)

If I were a rebel, the James Dean of my day
I wouldn't write a single line
I'd rob the L of blank

Or if I were a coward, even slightly sour
At least I'd save my dollars
For another rainy day

But I, myself, am somewhere in between
A shade of gray and a shade of green
And truth is, money means nothing to me

I just wanted to say in my own way
How much you mean to me each and every way
Each and every day
From Michael James to Andrea Renee

For the Sake of A.R.T.

This was the first track I released from the album "Oh My Love."  Following a series of events that I can now only describe as entertaining,  I wrote and made the initial iphone recording of this song in my bedroom before rushing off to dinner with my roommate in March of 2012. This here is the version that finally made it to the album. Recorded in a bedroom in East Van, British Columbia in late 2012 on one of the days surrounding Christmas.

Leathan Milne - backing vocals

You claim that you are harmless that you have no game
As you shoot your whiskey I watch you in disdain
With a voice as smooth as Johnny you whisper in the night,
“Hey there darlin’ come home with me tonight”

You were drinking tequila at the bar when I walked in
You could see I was out of place from that dress that I was in
It was all for my protection (mmm hmm) from the other guys when you said “Hey darlin’ come home with me tonight”

Don’t worry this isn’t me stringing you along
We both know how this will go we both know that this is wrong

Tell me does she know you’re up to no good when you leave town?
She only knows what you tell her when she’s not around
You’re hard to deny when you look that good; I know this isn’t right
But hey there darlin’ come home with me tonight. 
Hey there darlin’ come home with me tonight.
