i want to know, am i the bad seed
do i grow only in perfect homes
so i can break them
so i can make them my own

and if so, i'll make it easy
and i promise to give up the fight
but you seem worth the risk
can i just get it right this time

i wanna be your guy
i wanna make you smile
though i might make you cry
sometimes

i want to find a better reason
to love other than for my ends
but i might break you when we
otherwise could've been good friends

i wanna be your guy
i wanna make you smile
though i might make you cry
sometimes

i wanna be your guy

of all the people you've met, why me
and what you see's what you get, why me
i know i'm not such a charmer
and i don't know what you see

of all the people you know, why me
though they've got more to show, why me
i thought i knew where i stood
but you think differently

are you just being kind
trying to find something to save me from
or do you really think i'm all that and more
do you really think i'm all that and more

of all the suitors who've tried, why me
the better-looking denied, why me
even inside i'm not sure of myself
are you thinking thoroughly 

are you just being kind
trying to find something to save me from
or do you really think i'm all that and more
do you really think i'm all that and more

are you just being kind
having faith that gold hides behind my walls
do you really think i'm all that and more
do you really think i'm all that and more

why me

(plz use headphones or nice speakers for da bass yo)
((i was just playing with garage band, i'm also a bit drunk))

if today were tomorrow
i'd be by the sea
i'd be happy and fine
with the one i love

i'd start a fire
and she would sing for me
and say she'd never seen me
smile so joyously

and i'll keep dreaming
i'll keep dreaming
i'll keep dreaming
that i'll sort it all out

if today were tomorrow
i would be so wealthy
i could buy my parents
a brand new house

and i'd have a son
get him the best education
all while i'm next
to the one i love

and i'll keep dreaming
i'll keep dreaming
i'll keep dreaming
that i'll sort it all out

if today were tomorrow
i'd be in my grave
sleeping right next
to the one i love

and i'd have done something great
with the mess i am now
i'd have been somebody
worth remembering

and i'll keep dreaming
i'll keep dreaming
i'll keep dreaming
that i'll sort it all out

keep dreamin'

how many songs must i write
til i no longer sing for you
how many lies must i say
til i can say the truth

that you’re not in my blood
that i’m somebody new
that you’re not in my blood
oh no, not you

i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
i’ll do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again, soon

i wrote my pen dry
every feeling for you
i let time go by
i was reeling from you

now you’re not in my blood
as much as you were
in my bigger picture
you’re now a blur

and i know it’s gonna be a long way down
but i’ll be on my feet again, soon
do whatever turns me around
and i will be myself again

and i won’t stop
believing love is true, is kind, is existent 
i know it’s just an exercise of patience, oh i know
i know that someone waits for me

=================================

note: i've been talking a lot about all the music i've been writing but the truth is, almost all of the tracks i've made so far just don't satisfy me yet. i wrote and demo'd this within a few hours both as an exercise and as a way of emptying my head so i can work on my other songs. that would be all


in my blood (love is true)

nice to see you could make it tonight
i shook off my feeling uptight
thinking how we were before's
just like how we are now
only happier

guess i'm glad that nothing has changed
no need for a photo framed
to recall how we were before's
just like how we are now
only freer

and someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away

nice to know that you're doing alright
and we've grown too old to fight
knowing how we were before's 
just like how we are now
that's that

and someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away
someone's gonna take your place inside of my heart
someone's gonna take me away

note: i am working on an EP!!! (or an album, if i can write enough songs that i'd be satisfied with)

this song is just an exercise, like "in my blood". i wanted to play around with garageband's guitar settings. i won't be including this on the EP, so even though this is a demo, i'd say this is the final version of this song. that would be all 

someone's gonna

~tis the season~

on days of rain and of thunder
i make some room on the bed
so i can prepare for companionship
once it's no longer just all in my head

on days of sun and of salt
i sit in the shade and look enviously
at those unafraid of the water
as if they were so different from me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

on days of work and of thanklessness
how nice it must be to hear,
"hello, how are you, what's wrong
would you like to talk it over a beer?"

it may be so that i'm just a fool
with my lofty fantasies
but it was never for lack of trying 
that love has never come to me

take me to the moon and back, somebody please
i want to know how it feels

(note: i now realize the mixing is quite loud.. i am sorry)

lovelessness

easy boys for easy girls
they cancel each other out
but the ones who are too much work
are left alone

though we try to believe 
a simple joy will suffice
easy boys and easy girls
they break our hearts

i sang her my favorite song and she said "okay"
i told her what it all meant and she said "okay"

easy girls for easy boys
they cancel each other out
and i see you waiting for someone
unlike them

though you try to believe
you can stay clear of their way
easy girls and easy boys 
they'll break your heart

you told him about your day and he said "okay"
you told him you loved him true and he said "thank you"

leave them be
i know the waiting's hard
but you are better than that
we are better than that

easy boys, easy girls
easy boys and easy girls
they break our hearts

easy boys and easy girls (featuring the chickens of the morning)

i took her out to see some bands
and she said, nobody does this for me anymore
i said i do, i would, i will

and then i wrote her a song
and she said, nobody loves me like this anymore
i said i do, i would, i will

i've been lonesome and it's cool that you're here
i could die if i blew it, die if i blew it

i heard a whisper in my ear
and i said, nobody calls me my name anymore
she said, i do, i would, i will

and then she fixed up my hair
and i said, nobody says i look good anymore
she said, i do, i would, i will

i don't know what comes next after this
i would tell you if i knew it, tell you if i knew it

but there's beauty in our time running out
and i don't wanna see through it
i don't wanna see through it

estranged and in love (i do, i would, i will)
