05 - El Brillo De Los Recuerdos

When September Ends...

Hold My Beer 

 

Back in high school sitting down by the lake 
Sipping on some cold ones just my buddies and me 
We got a little froggy and decided to jump  
Right off the cliff from the back of my truck 
 
Here, hold my beer is how it all started 
I’ll never forget those times we had, man, we really knew how to party 
Hold my beer 
 
I saw this girl from across the water 
Moon light hanging on her and I had to meet her  
I could barely swim but it didn’t matter 
Took another sip and said  
 
Here, hold my beer is how it all started 
I’ll never forget those times we had, man, we really knew how to party 
Hold my beer, this could be the one  
I may never look back or I could be wrong  
It don’t matter none 
Hold my beer 
 
That summer past and we said goodbye 
And then she looked back and started to cry  
All I needed was one more song  
One last dance before the summer was gone 
 
Here, hold my beer 
She was all I remember and then the moment past, it just couldn’t last but for a moment in time she’s mine 
So hold my beer 
 
Graduation, college, and a full time job 
A night out with the boys and that song came on  
I heard a voice I hadn’t heard in so many years 
And it said to my friends 
 
Here, hold his beer, that’s how it all started. 

I’ll never forget those times we had 
Could she really be standing there  
Hold my beer 
 
 

Ten years later and we’re back at the lake 

It’s me and the boys and it’s getting late 

Come on Dad let’s go for a swim  

Yeah, you know we jumped right in 
 
Here, hold my beer is how it all started 
I’ll never forget those times we had, man, we really knew how to party 
 

Hold my beer, this could be the one  
I may never look back or I could be wrong  
It don’t matter none 
 

Here, hold my beer 
She was all I remember and then the moment passed, it just couldn’t last but for a moment in time she’s mine 
 
Hold my beer, is how it all started. 
I got the love of my life sitting by my side and I’m never gonna say goodbye 
 
Hold my beer

As if in a dream.
We walked our summer days out.
Through the trees. 
The dapples danced around our shoulders brown.
We're hanging out in brine.
Still, we shine.

As if in a dream.
We went our separate ways one Saturday. 
The shadows lurked and fairly bounced behind. 
We've got no time, you know. 
Say it ain't so.

Hold me, slowly. 
I'll chase them all away.
Say no more. 
I'm going.
Never planned to stay.
In the way.

As if in a dream.
We never took our chances.
Slim, though we, could never see.
Through a dream of trees. 
Just out of reach.
A potent preacher spake.

As if in a dream.
We never learned the dances. 
We coulda danced.
A happenstance or happenchance.
Took it away.
A miserable day.
For a cold embrace.

That's it... I'm folding,
Not holding anyway.
This alters nothing.
It's going that way.
I meant to stay.

As if in a dream.
There's just an endless stream of handing out.
Acquiring clout, roundabout.
A nervous man has the loudest shout.

As if in a dream.
We walked our summer days out.
Through the trees. 
The dapples danced around our shoulders brown.
We're hanging out in brine.
Still, we shine.

Hold me, slowly. 
I'll chase them all away.
Say no more. I'm going.
Never planned to stay.
In the way.

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time - feat. Mike Hill

Thought we had more than a big bunch of nothing.
Come on mother lets go.
Working with nothing but a pile of ash and sulfur.
Just stuck here out in the sun.
What I thought was lazy, proved to be crazy.
There's nothing left to know.
Everybody leaves and autumn is approaching.
Come on brother, let's go. 

Thought we got going when it stopped snowing.
But we're still waiting to go.
Thought we had more than this bunch of nothing.
But that's a resounding no.
There's nothing as a foundation where we're standing.
There's years left go.
Money in houses, but nothing in your trousers.
Come on honey let's go. 

Thought I was crazy, for years I wanted saving.
But it's just me you know.
Finally realising, it's all just actualising.
There's nowhere real to go.
Come on brother, sister, motherfuckers.
Let's really let it go.
Thought there was more than this bunch of nothing.
Come on mother let's go.
