[… Guitar intro]

Like any wild soul
He was unpredictable 
Like any wild thing
A tale was untold 

It would be smart for one
To run along
But if it’s so easy 
Why couldn’t it be done?

[Tempo change]

He was an untamable beast 
You couldn’t best or defeat 
You can’t deny 

There was fire in his eyes
A trail of smoke not far 
Behind 

Old tracks you cannot trace 
A gust of wind with no mistake 
Tonight 

Yet here
He’s right where he
Belongs 

The thunder underneath his feet
The sound of triumph
From his dreams

She can admire the beast from afar
Can he be taught to love,
And to see?

But like all the wild horses 
Those that roam the countryside
He’s free 

Yet here
He’s right where he
Belongs

[…]

With me
He’s right where he
Belongs

[…]

He’s right where he belongs.


Wild One

So I scratched a lottery 
I thought I would win
But I came up with nothing
Again and again

When I bought my soda, 
The man behind the counter
Said that no one ever wins 
And that I shouldn’t try
 
Tough Luck, Honey.
Not Everything 
Can go your way
Tough Luck, Honey
You don’t need him
Anymore

So I walked down the street
To my car 
And it was raining pretty hard
A man walked passed 
With an umbrella

I saw he was lonely
Just like me

Tough Luck, Honey.
Not Everything 
Can go your way
Tough Luck, Honey
You don’t need him
Anymore [x2]

Tough Luck, Honey

Look into my eyes
So that I may find
Something deep inside
I won’t let you die
[ooh]

Open your mouth and scream
Show me what the pain means
I’ll fix it finally
‘Cause you share the pain with me
[ooh]

There’s gotta be a reason why
A hidden meaning I will find
The pain means nothing anyway
Just as long as I can explain
The reason why you’re cryin’
The reason why you’re dyin’ 

I failed yet again
I watch you walk away
All of the piercing pain 
From all of my mistakes
[ooh]

I can ride through it
My bike is my best bet
You think you know everything 
But you don’t know…
I didn’t wanna let you go
[ooh]

Took the trail of empty bottles 
To the House full of pain
Tried to find my love 
But my love went insane
I can’t cure you
Can’t cure my love for you

I’ll go to bed this way
Take the same pills for my pain
But they don't know where I've been

Every story is worth tellin’
But only if there’s a picture on every page
[Oohh]
Every photo is worth a thousand words
But only if you have something to say
[Oohh]

Where did you go
You’re gone again
[Oohh]
It’s like a fairy tale 
Without happy endin’

So turn to the next page
And you may find there’s more to this day
[Oohh]
Where the rain falls from the ground
And the clouds are coming down
[Oohh] 

Where did you go
You’re gone again
[Oohh]
It’s like a fairy tale 
Without happy endin’

Can’t you see me? 
I’m lost in a dream that I can’t seem
To wake from

And what’s the difference between a dream
And a story, Oh.
It seems to be
me


Storybook

I should have known this wouldn’t work you and I
But I promise you that I tried
I should have known you wouldn’t change at all
Men like you don’t really try

I see your face in all the wrong places
I really don’t know why
I think maybe I gave you too much time
To invade my mind

And then I say

[Chorus]
I look left, I look right
I’m on the wrong train tonight
I look left I look right

I look up, I look down
I’m so lost in this town
I look up, I look down

I really didn’t say

I really don’t think you understand
That you don’t push away a helpin’ hand
I fought with everything I could 
You fought back like I knew you would

Do you think it’ll help you in the end? 
I should have noticed the trend
I had those rose colored glasses on
I really did see everything in red

Then I say

I look left, I look right
I’m on the wrong train tonight
I look left I look right

I look up, I look down
I’m so lost in this town
I look up, I look down

I really didn’t say [x3] 

Goodbye

Simon and the Beast 

No one held his hand
He wandered off
No one seemed to care
They'd had enough

He tripped and fell
Then he hit his head
Bruises on his knees
Heavier than lead 

When he closed his eyes
He heard the wind
It spoke the words 
of lost innocence 

[chrous]
He thought he knew who he was
But as the clouds grew, he was lost
And what he used to be 
Is now nothing but a dream
What he used to be--
Nothing but a dream [end chrous]

He felt the darkness
was closing in
The world was spinning 
He could feel our sins

He opened his eyes
There was the truth
Right in front of him 
What else is there to do? 

It spoke many things
He listened well
Of human nature
And how we fell

He thought he knew who he was
But as the clouds grew, he was lost
And what he used to be 
Is now nothing but a dream
What he used to be--
Nothing but a dream

Now that's the story
That's it my friend
Of little Simon 
And his untimely end




 








Simon And The Beast

I try to look my best
My heart is pounding in my chest
I feel in utter disarray 
I don't even know what to say

It's like I always trip and fall 
Hit my head against the wall 
Close my eyes and grit my teeth
Accepting my defeat

Why is my heart up in my throat? 
I really think you should know

[Chorus] It's a the sun on a cloudy day 
It's the rain when you just need to get away
It's the feeling that the stars have aligned
That's the feeling I get  when you walk by [end chorus]

My eyes are locked on you
I'm unsure of what to do
When you turn to look at me
I'm certain to retreat 

I bet you are confused
It's true, I am too
Don't try to understand
I can't make my stand

Why is my heart up in my throat 
I really think you should know 

[chorus] 

It's true
I'm trippin' over you


Just Trippin'

I Know What I Need

You And I

Welcome to my Soundcloud where the audio quality is terrible, but I hope the music itself somewhat makes up for it. I play the acoustic guitar, write my own lyrics, and just roll with it. Enjoy!
