Til I Hear It From You (Gin Blossoms cover)

Everybody Wants To Rule The World (a cappella Tears for Fears cover)

Desperado, by Kasey Ivan

2016.

I'm getting older, I can see it in the mirror
But you have never changed
Frozen in my mind, you're just a moment in time
But seeing you is strange

You're like a ghost
There's a host of possibilities
None of them good enough

CHORUS
You're still breaking my heart
I know you can't help it
Know you didn't mean it
But you're still breaking my heart
No one to blame but myself
You're still breaking my heart
No, you didn't want to
No, you didn't mean to
And now look what we've done

Know you anywhere, the breeze blowing in your hair
Tangled like a child
The way that your mouth settles into a frown
Belying a brilliant smile

That's the effect you had
You wrecked me long ago
So much more than you knew

CHORUS

Remind yourself it would never last
Before trying to recreate the past

CHORUS

Still Breaking My Heart [home demo]

2016.

You were reading 'Lolita'
While I was trying to get the synopsis
From 'Don't Stand So Close to Me'
Oh baby, isn't it obvious?
I was used to taking the easy way out

We could have gone on forever
With me under your continuous employ
Don't you think it would have gotten old
Treating me less like a man than a boy?
See, I was used to taking the easy way out

CHORUS
I'll never say you didn't push me
But you didn't know the right places
And what I needed then was someone
Who would put me through the paces
It's not a burden you should have had to bear
That's why I said goodbye to this love affair
You know there was never any doubt
I took the easy way out

The last time I looked upon your face
You were standing across a crowded room
How'm I gonna find the words that work?
I just figured it would have been too soon
'Cause I was used to taking the easy way out

No use crying over spilt milk now
Stressing over what I did or didn't say
What difference would it have made?
You decided you'd been hurt the most anyway
But isn't that the easy way?
You took the easy way, you, you took the easy way

CHORUS

We can't change the past
We know we didn't last
And isn't that embarrassing?
We had so much at stake
But in this give-and-take
I know you feel like you got robbed
Just because I made a clean getaway

CHORUS

Easy Way Out

2015.

There's a piece of me tucked away
That only you could see
Should I let it come up to the surface
Or should I let it be?
I don't wanna open those old wounds tonight
I don't wanna open those old wounds tonight

Thought that you were in the past tense
Now I hear you're back again
And you're seeking out your old friends
But they don't see through this like I do
And I don't wanna open those old wounds tonight
I don't wanna open those old wounds tonight

CHORUS
Nothing has been left unsaid between us
We tied all the loose ends up before we said goodbye
If you wanted something to believe in
Before you look my way, remember the cuts you made

Something special happened to me
But it was all pretend
That's the way it feels looking back
Now here we go again
Well, I don't wanna open those old wounds tonight
I don't wanna open those old wounds tonight

CHORUS

It's not all your fault
We just grew apart as the years went by
Why didn't either of us try?
Once attached at the hip
You're not even a blip now on my radar
But I know what you are

CHORUS (2x)

Those Old Wounds [home demo]

2015.

Making love in the basement
To the soundtrack of the reruns on TV
Who knows where the space went
That used to be between you and me?

Suddenly I find myself in your arms
And I don't know how to feel about it
It all happened so quickly, wish I could explain
But all I know is that

CHORUS
We used to be friends, now it's so much more
And here I am at last, knockin' down your door
In this moment you're so beautiful I just can't comprehend
Every little thing you do, the sparkle in your eye
For me everything is new, doesn't matter why
There's no turning back, no way for us to pretend
Oh, we used to be friends

Wasted all this time keeping you at a distance
Time I could have spent in the warmth of your heart
Two crazy people who find themselves late to this dance
Beautiful and slow, and here we go

(second verse - not written yet in this version)
Now we're back in the basement
Tryin' to build this thing as high as it can go
We don't wanna waste it
And take the chance that we'll never know

Suddenly my arms are open wide
And if you don't know how to feel about it
Come in closer, you'll know that I want you for real

Oh don't you see that

CHORUS

We Used to Be Friends

2012.

Sometimes it's only fair to say what you feel
Sometimes it feels wrong, oh, when the truth hurts
She walked into the room, and everything changed
The ground is upside down, and now your life is rearranged

CHORUS
She's the new girl in town
She didn't mean any harm
So why are you hanging around
When you know it won't work?
And oh, she's the new girl in town
No idea how it would be
Didn't take long to see

You think you shouldn't ask, she whispers her name
Funny how a word sends a chill up the spine
So inconspicuous, and yet always there
You won't know till you tell her just how much you care

CHORUS

Oh, it's not a routine, it's not every day this happens to your head
And just what do you mean, better listen to what your heart says?
Better set it straight, 'cause confusion waits for no man
Can you keep the feeling close to you?

Sometimes it's only fair when you bare your soul
Sometimes you can't control the right things to say

CHORUS (2x)

The New Girl in Town

2009.

(PL)
Why don't you call me like you used to?
Why don't you open up and tell me secrets anymore?
Is there something deeper that I'm missing?
Did you find some kind of new avenue to explore?
Or are you just evening the score?

CHORUS
I don't believe you
When you tell me nothing's changed between us now
Look in the mirror
Tell me you were not at fault someway, somehow

Can you remember?

(JR)
I waited by the phone for hours
Wondering if I should call or just leave you alone
You were always looking for the problem
But there was nothing ever wrong, why don't you let it go?
We could make it right or never know

CHORUS

I seem to remember...

(PL)
Why don't you call

(JR)
I waited by the phone

(PL)
Evening the score

(JR)
We could make it right

(PL)
CHORUS

Make it Right

2008.

She could leave you anytime
Sure as night is dark and day is light
You know she don't stay in one place
But that's the problem you've got to face
And you say you love her still
But this affair is gonna test your will
You don't have to take all of my advice
But when she goes, she ain't gonna play nice, 'cause

CHORUS
If I was in your place
Wouldn't wanna let it go too far
Love shouldn't be a race
And she's got the fastest car
You've only got one heart
And it's gonna break
And you know it's gonna break

You know she's done this kind of thing before
She'll always leave you wanting more
And when she leaves, you won't have a clue
Regarding where to go and what to do
You ask me how I know this information
You say it's just my imagination
How quickly you forget the relationship that I once had with a girl like that
And how I thought I was in for the duration

CHORUS (3x)

One Heart [live]

A little something from the home office...
