The times have changed
And I can’t decide if that’s a good thing
I wonder what the world looks like 
On your side of the screen 
I could scream my heart out 

And I still know 
Your haunted place you’d always go 
I wanna be your superhero 
Blood in my mouth 
I could eat your heart out 

And late at night 
I’ll always leave you a light 
Always…

I wanna run
I wanna hide 
I wanna hold something that’s mine 
Invisible love 
Or did I make it all up? 
Did I make it all up? 

And if I’m honest
That wouldn’t be so easy on us 
I wanna be the one you dream of 
Your hand through my hair 
You’d be there in the morning 

Shot in the dark 
You got me clean through the heart
Again…

I wanna run
I wanna hide 
I wanna hold something that’s mine 
Invisible love 
Or did I make it all up? 
Did I make it all up?

Invisible Love

Lyrics:

Samba in the backyard
borrowing your Dad's car 
all the dirty things you'd say
giving yourself away 
pull up to a video store 
rent something we've seen before 
totally miss the end 
do it all over again 

and we were waiting for the sun 
dancing on the lawn so unaware 
and when I close my eyes at night 
I walk into the light and I'm not there 

call me on the landline 
mom wants to get online 
but I don't wanna say goodbye 
I don't wanna say goodbye 
I burned you a CD
Nirvana and The Pixies 
other bangers from the 90s 
when you listen to it think of me 

and we were waiting for the sun 
dancing on the lawn so unaware 
and when I close my eyes at night 
I walk into the light and I'm not there 

I know who you really are 
it's only a broken heart 
we do our best to stay 
but everybody fades away 
let's go for a short drive 
in the moonlight 
we don't have to say goodbye 
we don't have to say goodbye

and we were waiting for the sun 
dancing on the lawn so unaware 
and when I close my eyes at night 
I walk into the light and I'm not there

I'm Not There

Hi! We are proud members of Camp KT and this song idea came from a prompt that Katie Toupin presented to Camp KT! Write a song with only 2 chords.

Song written by Claire Cuny
Produced/arranged/recorded by Monte Weber

DEMO- Consolation Song (Camp KT 2 chord challenge)

Me playing this song in the living room for the first time late at night, iPhone recording for memory. I know it sounds shitty, maybe we will record it for real someday 🖤

iPhone recording “Under Your Thumb”

"Take me away 
 On your flying ship.
 The wind is rising,
 Let us live.

 Some hearts are like the radio 
 Some hearts see through a window 
 Some hearts star in a picture show
 Who do you know? 

 Never come down,
 Never come down, 
 Never come down,
 Never come 

 Oh black mirror 
 Make me nearer 
 Oh black mirror 
 Make me nearer."

Lyrics:

Hello, goodbye, I found the exit sign 
but I can’t leave until I try 
Your lips, your eyes they’re telling lies 
the kinds I like to follow blind 

I was checking you out 
I was checking you out
I was checking you out
I was checking you out

the room, the blue, attracted to bad news 
it’s true, it’s cruel, it’s nothing new 
that look, that stare it’s never fair 
that you want me, and I want you 

I was checking you out
I was checking you out
I was checking you out
I was checking you out 

We’re not alone, but everything feels slow 
You hold the girl you belong to 
I feel your curiosity 
you wonder what it’s like with me 

You were checking me out
You were checking me out
You were checking me out
You were checking me out

and if I could I’d make you feel so good 
you’re lost on her, misunderstood 
your heart’s like mine, a power line 
the moon, the light, electric night 

I was checking you out
I was checking you out
I was checking you out
I was checking you out

That Bar On 4th

Lyrics:

I want to dance this crummy night away
so why’d they play our song?
I can’t ever listen to Radiohead again
you killed my love and my favorite band
I’m drunk, a little fucked up
but don’t hang up until I’m done
you knew what you were doing
in your little game so I’ve got to say

Congratulations you’ve won
you’ve moved on but I’m still in love
Congratulations you’ve won
you’ve moved on but I’m still a fool in love

I trashed the photos I had
I know it’s bad but I needed to hear your voice again
you don’t sound sad and that makes me mad
are you still there?
it’s so weird without you here
I know I’m talking a lot but I thought you cared

Congratulations you’ve won
you’ve moved on but I’m still in love
Congratulations you’ve won
you’ve moved on but I’m still a fool in love

still a fool in love, love
still a fool in love, love

Congratulations you’ve won
you’ve moved on but I’m still in love
Congratulations you’ve won
you’ve moved on but I’m still a fool in love

Lyrics:
Take me for a ride  
anywhere is fine 
anywhere but here 
 
it’s my mother’s car  
won’t go very far 
but you could smoke inside 
 
got a few for gas 
hoping it’ll last 
anywhere you want babe  
 
Play the songs we know 
on a busted stereo 
man it brings me back
 
I’d go anywhere with you, it would be so easy to leave 
I’d go anywhere with you 
 
If you need a break 
we’ll go some place upstate 
where people say hello 
 
find a tiny town 
quiet as a mouse  
but the diner’s open late
 
There’s something in the air 
in the middle of nowhere
and I can finally breathe 
 
a lonely stranger 
failed entertainer 
nobody seems to care
 
I’d go anywhere with you, it would be so easy to leave 
I’d go anywhere with you
 
it would be so easy to leave
wild and free 
it would be so easy to leave
like summer breeze
 
Quiet for a while
no one else for miles
driving into silver stars
 
under neon spells 
dated cheap motels
worn out but I miss that style
 
there’s something in the wind
it’s underneath my skin
everything’s changing
 
gas station coffee
unlucky lottery 
most people never win
 
I’d go anywhere with you, it would be so easy to leave  
I’d go anywhere with you
 
it would be so easy to leave
wild and free 
it would be so easy to leave
like summer breeze
 
I’d go anywhere with you 
I’d go anywhere with you
 
it would be so easy to leave
it would be so easy to leave
it would be so easy to leave...

Lyrics: 

A strange today 
should I come out to play? 
they say the colors 
make you feel like summer
it’s been a while since I was in between  
it’s been a while since I was 17  
 
always on the run
plastic guns 
burning gasoline
I wonder what you are
little star 
Sadie sex machine
I’ll cut off all my hair 
I don’t care 
it’s always Halloween
there’s music in the street 
smoking heat 
ice cream and nicotine
 
Those were the days of love
Those were the days of love
 
Hit me where it hurts 
universe
pop a dramamine 
I’ll send you all my love 
fragile dove 
packed in polythene 
I wanna turn you on
sugar bomb
you’re so interesting
there’s nothing left to do
flipping though
a dirty magazine
 
A strange today 
I could just fade away 
into the blue you’re so beautiful
it’s been a while since I was in the green  
it’s been a while since I was 17  

baby’s on a roll
cruise control
safety guaranteed  
I heard the music die 
don’t you cry 
drop the guillotine
at family dinner-time 
My So-Called Life 
on your Mom’s TV
you’re swinging your guitar
full of heart
doped up on dopamine 
 
Those were the days of love
Those were the days of love
 
A strange today 
A strange today 
I’ve seen your face
I know your name 
 
She’s gonna be your airborne ranger She’s gonna be your space cowboy 
I’m gonna be your beautiful stranger give me death or give me joy
She’s gonna be your airborne ranger She’s gonna be your space cowboy 
I’m gonna be your beautiful stranger give me death or give me joy
She’s gonna be your airborne ranger She’s gonna be your space cowboy 
I’m gonna be your beautiful stranger give me death or give me joy
She’s gonna be your airborne ranger She’s gonna be your space cowboy 
I’m gonna be your beautiful stranger give me death or give me joy

Lyrics:

don’t say too much 
hold your tongue 
nothing’s wrong 

gave you my heart 
it’s not enough 
it never was 

I can see you standing unannounced outside my parents’ house 
where you showed me for the first time who you were, I knew it hurt 

but I didn’t come
but I didn’t come
but I didn’t come
but I didn’t come

you’re trapped in time 
so am I 
baby blue 

my best friend tried 
to change my mind 
she hated you

and the balcony you never used drew lines in your room 
I’m so terrified when our eyes align and I know how it ends

but i wanna come
but i wanna come

each time we start again
You love a little less

I was in bloom 
when I met you 
when I met you

your sunshine smile 
only heartache 
could make 

I can picture your apartment with the dishes piled up 
and you always knew I’d leave you soon to move out to New York  

but you didn’t come 
but you didn’t come 
but you didn’t come 
I thought you would 

and now I’ve met someone 
I think it could be love 
although I can’t explain 
this time it’s not the same

and I know it’s sad 
at the end 
but that will pass 
I wish you the best

I Wish You the Best
