Lyrics:

Lion-hearted kids
Ripping cigarettes
On a rooftop in the city

Hanging with out legs
Dangling off the edge
Just happy that you're with me

You don't know how much I love you
But you mean the world to me

And I'm feeling awful paranoid
Getting ready to say

What's your plans for the future, man?
I don't think that I'm gonna stay

Tried to hide that look upon your face
We're glad you're trying a change

I said let's save it for another day,
Tonight we drink goodbye away

You don't know how much I love you
But you mean the world to me x 2

The World

Lyrics:

I saw my reflection through the window
And said "Damn," I'm getting old
I've got a long ways to go
But it don't comfort me no more
Cause ticking hands don't slow
And time moves faster than it did before

Slow down, I missed the signal
Gunshot startled, my legs were crippled
I've no direction, go where the wind blows
Hope it takes me home

Looking through my phone again
Found some old pictures
This one's my dog it makes me scared,
He will be gone in a couple of years

Slow down, I missed the signal
Gunshot startled, my legs were crippled
I've no direction, go where the wind blows
Hope it takes me home

Slow Down

Lyrics:

We took the clouds and bent them
To our eyes imagination
Laughed at silly observations that we made

Like how the sun seemed so much hotter
Next to cold northeastern waters
Though our breathe fogged up the warmth between our face

And Sarah sang these graces
To leave familiar places
Cause she just couldn't handle anymore

But sometimes to be there you have to stay right here
And the next best thing is just another fear
And wailing winds will howl and hiss
The voices of the life you miss
But moving on is always sad my dear

We spoke of the unknown
With a rosy colored filter
Tones of youthful optimism
And a smile

Of a vivid shade of green
That is bursting at the seems
Corresponding to the distance and the miles

But sometimes to be there you have to stay right here
And the next best thing is just another fear
And wailing winds will howl and hiss
The voices of the life you miss
But moving on is always sad my dear

My Dear

Waiting On The Days

Stay for the solo at the end if you enjoy soulful guitar :). This is my r/songaweek Week 3 submission. The theme for this week was "Weather." I used rain as a metaphor for complacency.

Drizzle

A track about lost friends, I hope you enjoy. Please like and repost, it would mean the  world to me. Thank you

Lyrics:

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

Verse 1:
So many more songs that need to be sung
All I need's a voice but all I get is voicemail
Parents still paying your phonebill

Verse 2:
And do you recall?
Chilling with us?
After you left, we all broke apart

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

Verse 3:
And the only thing that sticks with me
There's an easy way out if I want it
I try to keep my mind off it
But some nights I get lonely

Verse 4:
And if I'm being honest,
It's why I don't drink so much anymore
I'm running out of excuses,
Some nights I know that I'm a loser

Chorus:
Oh there's something so cold
'bout taking the young
And leaving the old
Like why, why you gotta go?
There's so many more,
Days left untold

So Cold

Bloom

Lyrics:
Say it with your chest that you love her,
You don't how long you've got before she's gone

And when he comes home from a hard of work
His cheek leave some lipstick on

Cause someone needs you more than you know
More than they'll show
Finding their hope holding on to you

And maybe forever just goes with the seasons
And you just can't find the time
I'm sorry to say there's no more excuses
When love's in your life reprioritize

Cause someone needs you more than you know
More than they'll show
Finding their hope holding on to you

Ohhhh x 8

Cause someone needs you more than you know
More than they'll show

Cause someone needs you more than you will ever know
More than they will ever show
Finding their hope holding on to you

Ohhhh x 6

Finding their hope holding on to you

Holding On To You

Lyrics:

Take these broken wings and stitch them up
I again will try to kiss the sun
A foolish attempt
I come crashing down the atmosphere

But for the briefest second
I'm the brightest
Make a wish before
I burn out and all that's left
A middling stone lost in ocean waves

Taking my chances
Only time holds all my answers

Gamble on the road with my guitar
A couple rhymes, a daring heart
Fortune favors those who wander

Taking my chances
Only time holds all my answers

Oh x 3

And freedom cries so far away
But close enough to hear her pain
If I could only hold her in my hands,
It'd all be worth the wait

Kiss The Sun

Lyrics:

Hold me hostage
In this moment
I don't wanna leave

So many dreams
Memories

The southern skyline towards the city lights
Shines in ways that I cannot describe
Glows ablaze when the sun gets tired
I feel fine

Burned this picture
In my mind
I visit it sometimes
So many nights,
Undefined

The southern skyline towards the city lights
Shines in ways that I cannot describe
Glows ablaze when the sun gets tired
I feel fine

City Ablaze
