The sound of this song was inspired by "Only Human" by Jason Mraz and the meaning of the song was inspired by John Mayer's "My Stupid Mouth."

Said Too Much

I Wanna Fly

A sequel to my song "Where Am I Going to?"

I Know Where I'm Going

The song of a young man who can't get enough of life. The verses remind me of Styx while the chorus reminds me of Cat Stevens.

Restless

Written and performed by Peter Cope, featuring James Cope (https://soundcloud.com/jamescope3) on guitar.

Lyrics:
At the start of the film, the guy is awkward as can be.
I feel so bad for him--oh wait, he is me!
He's got a good heart, 
he's got a good mind, 
but when he gets close to her
his brain shuts down, 
he feels like a clown.
This can't ever be!

I wanna be just like the guy in the movies.
I wanna get the girl, just like in the movies.
I always thought that love was make believe.
Now it's fin'lly happ'ning to me!
I saw a girl in my dreams
and she turned into reality!

I don't know how, but I've got to make her mine.
But it looks like I will have to wait in line. Fine.
I will wait my turn until it's time.
I will wait until I get a sign.

I wanna be just like the guy in the movies.
I wanna get the girl, just like in the movies.
I always thought that love was make believe.
Now it's fin'lly happ'ning to me!
I saw a girl in my dreams
and she turned into reality!

She gave the sign.
It's my time.
She said let's try.
You're my guy!

I feel like the guy that gets the girl in the movie.
Somehow I just got the girl in the movie.
I always thought that love was make believe.
Now it's fin'lly happ'ning to me!
I saw a girl in my dreams
and she turned into reality!
She chose me and I chose her.
I chose her and she chose me.
She chose me and I chose her.
I chose her and she chose me.

Girl in the Movies

Girl In The Movies

Lyrics:
I just want a girl
More than you can know
It's been so long
And I'm feeling kinda low
So won't you be my someone
And help me grow?
You don't have to be the one
But you really oughta know

That I'm in love
With the idea of being in love
I'm in love with the idea
Of having someone
I'm in love with the idea
Of meeting the one
But do you love me
And do I love you?

You were in the same boat
I know you love romance
You wanted someone to hold ya
And you thought
I could be the man
I know you wanted it to work
So you took your chance
(Took your chance)
We had the perfect story
But it just didn't last

'Cause I'm in love
With the idea of being in love
I'm in love with the idea
Of having someone
I'm in love with the idea
Of meeting the one
But do you love me
And do I love you?

We had a good time
But somewhere along the way
We talked so much
That there was nothing left to say
Then you made up your mind
You said I can't be your bae
(I can't be your bae)
You said thanks
For all the laughs
And I said I'll be okay

Did you ever like me
Or did you just
Like the attention?
Did I ever like you
Or did I like imagination
And this reputation?

I'm in love with the idea
Of being in love
I'm in love with the idea
Of having someone
I'm in love with the idea
Of meeting the one
But do you love me
And do I love you?

The Idea of Love

A song about responding to rejection.

Lyrics:
Nobody’s true
Everybody minces words
When they talk to you
I don’t know who
Who I can trust
And who is just tool
And I need someone
I can talk to without any fear
I’m glad that I can trust you

So thanks for the honesty
And thanks for not hurting me
It’s better that I find out
You don’t love me now
Than when we have four kids
Ten years from now
So thanks for the honesty
Because honestly
I don’t know what else to say
The feelings were
Not mutual but that’s okay
At least you were honest

Hello sir
Would you like to hear a message
About the man that saved you
He said sure
I thought he was golden
But I was just a fool
And within a week
He chose a date to be born again
He canceled it the next day

So I say thanks for the honesty
I’m glad that you stopped capping
I felt kind of empty inside
When you said I already
Have Jesus I’m fine
Thanks for the honesty
And thanks for not bashing me
It’s better that we find out you
Don’t like the church now
Than on a fast Sunday
When you say something foul
You’ll come around

So many people in the world
Will not tell you the truth
So many people in the world
Wear a mask and have a fake tooth
So many people in the world
Will tell you what you want to hear
So many people in the world
Will shrink down in fear
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Here’s my resumé
I know I’m kind of young
And my PHD is fake
I just need a job
Gotta take care of the kids
And buy them an easy bake
Then he told me sir
I’m sorry but you cannot work here
You were not meant for work

So I say thanks for the honesty
And thanks for not hiring me
It’s better you find out
That I'm a fraud now
Than when I’m CEO
And the stocks are down
You’re welcome for honesty
And not taking your money
Can I get some brownie
Points for coming clean
If I get this job I promise
Not to be mean
I’m just being honest

Thanks for the Honesty

Thanks For The Honesty

Lyrics:
Into:
Where am I going to?
Where am I going to now?
Where am I going to in life, in life?

Chorus:
Where am I going to?
Where am I going to now?
Where am I going to in life, in life?

Where am I going to?
Where am I going to now?
Where am I going to now, going to now,
going to in life?

Verse 1:
My life is filled with uncertainty
Questions in my mind are torturing me
What is the path I should take?
What should I make of my life?

I should be grateful for all my options,
but it's just overwhelming,
too many passions.
What if I make the wrong choice?
Is it too late to turn back?

Chorus

Verse 2:
This path is very demanding.
It's uphill, it's rocky, it's hot, and it's windy.
Without a map I don't know where I should go
Am I lost?

I'm nearing the summit now.
This hike's gone so fast,
I don't understand how,
but what lies ahead at the top?
Am I going up, or going down?

Bridge:
I don't have a plan
I don't have a partner
I might have potential 
but do I have a future?
Only time will tell
Oh no

I'm at a crossroads, I need somewhere to go
I need some help, just decide for me, won't you
But then again, I don't have a destination

Chorus

Where Am I Going To?

Side A: Temporary Happiness
Side B: Relax
