INSOMNIA
Written, produced, and performed by Michael Gibson

Verse 1: 
I close my eyes 
but I cannot fall asleep.
 Not even a blink., No... 
And I realize That it’s really not that deep 
And I gotta to sleep 

Prechorus:  
But right before it happens something stirs me. 
I feel the pain inside and I just cannot breathe. 
I remember all the the ways in which you hurt me, 
but even if I fall asleep I just might dream. 

Chorus 1: 
 Of you Woah 
I just might dream of you. 
Woah. I just might dream of..... 

Verse 2:  
Looking out my window 
And I see a shooting star 
Am I wondering where you are? No. 
Cause you hurt me baby,
 And I don’t know what to do. 
I ain’t sleepin without you. 

Prechorus 2:  
But something deep inside me needs the slumber,  
where memories fade to darkness and I can’t remember 
the way you broke my heart- the way that we were. 
And even if I fall asleep I just might dream... 

Chorus 2: 
Of you. Woah. 
I just might dream of you. Woah. I just might dream..... 

(Instrumental Break) 
Wooah, ohhhhh!!!! 

Bridge: 
You.....
Yea you hurt me so much yet I long for your touch 
It’s true 
Crying so many tears, but I still want to dream of 

Chorus 3: 
You. Woah. Woah. 
I just might dream of you. 
Woah Woah. I just might dream. 

Outro: 
I might dream about you babe,
 But I get to see your face again, oh . 
Feel your touch again....... Woah.....

Nine Lives (from the musical "Nine Lives)

Written, produced, and performed by Mikey G

VERSE 1:
You’ve given me so much that I’m thankful for 
You made me fall deeper than ever before
The memories
So many memories
Your beautiful smile could bring me to tears,
We shared so much laughter through of these years
The memories
So many memories.

PRECHORUS 1:
I remember you wrote me-
How you love searching for you in a crowded room, 
I spot me at last, catch my eye 
as you walk my way (way). 
You said “here comes the man, he’s everything that I need, 
as every other thought in my head 
just drops away (away).”

CHORUS:
I love you so much more 
than my words can say,
Is there another way to tell you?
If I reach out and touch your hand,
Is it breaking through?
Look in my eyes,  I’m paralyzed
I need to confess  
That you leave me breathless. 

VERSE 2:
Hot tub midnights  warm summer skies. It feels like IT was yesterday
Like yesterday
We would awake
To ocean waves.
Why does it feel like yesterday,
Like yesterday?! 

PRECHORUS 2:
You looked over at me from across the room,
My heart skipped a beat, pulse sped up,
That was the moment I knew, ooh.
I knew that you were the one.
I felt so alive,  
As long as you’re holding me near 
I’ll never leave your side (your side).   

CHORUS 2:
I love you so much more 
than my words can say,
Is there another way to tell you?
If I reach out, touch your hand,
Is it breaking through?
Look in my eyes,  I’m paralyzed
I need to confess
That you leave me breathless.  
  
BRIDGE:
You leave me breathless, ay
Our love is endless, ay
Your kiss is a blessing.
You know I never wanna let you go.
My words can’t express it.
I wanna be your best friend
Forever with you babe.
Forgive me if the words escape my lips
I’m breathless…
  
CHORUS: 
I love you so much more
than my words can say,
Is there another way to tell you?
If I reach out, touch your hand,
Is it breaking through?
Look in my eyes,  I’m paralyzed
I need to confess. 
That you leave me breathless.

Breathless

R.I.P (Lacrimosa)

V1: 
Do you think of me when
You hear that song playing?
Think of me when you eat that restaurant?
Do you think of me when that movie we
saw together for the first time comes on?

PRE1:
Video games, roller coasters  - do you think of me?
White lotus flowers, my favorite colors- do you think of me?
A scent in the air, or seeing other lovers….

CHORUS:
Do you think of me? Cuz I think of you.
Do you think of me? Cuz I think of you.

V2:
Do you think of me when your lips are on his?
Do you think of me when you are deep inside?
Do you think of me when you do him over and over baby
All through the night.    

PRE2:  
Molly hits hard, fuck in every room- do you think of me? 
Just like a witch he rides you like a broom- do you think of me?
Lay in the dark, except the light of the moon.  

CHORUS:
Do you think of me, cause I think of you.
Do you think of me, cause I think of you.

BRIDGE

V3: 
Do you think of  me after the curtain call starts?
Do you think of me while they’re taking their bows?
Do you think of me when you go to someone’s wedding
as they’re saying their vows?
  
PRE3:
Drive to Palm Strings or to Malibu- do you think of me?
Santa Barbara, like we used to do- do you think of me? 
Vegas, Chicago, anywhere we’ve been to.

CHORUS:
Do you think of me? Cuz I think of you.
Do you think of me? Cuz I think of you.

Do You Think of Me?
