A favorite of mine since I was about 10 years old. Not quite done, but a solid start.

I'll Be (Edwin McCain Cover)

I am a lazy lover
A coffee date confessional
She laughs and calls me baby
Hoping maybe I'll explain it
Well honey where do I begin

You want my time
Like I want my space
But you're a dollar short
And I'm another day late

I am a lazy lover
I want your world in my hand
I wanna win your love and then 
Put it in a box so I can
Put it on my shelf again

I am a lazy lover
I told her as she walked away
Well it's nothing that she said or did
It's the battle between me and
All this love that I'm withholding

I'll pull you in
If you reach out your hand
But if you get too close
I'll let you go again

How long now
Have I lived this way
All the bend with none of the break
Someday I'll call on you for help
And hope that this old well ain't dry yet
You say I'm living for the chase
Well sorry but that simply ain't the case 
Cuz you know the chase it takes work

Lazy Lover

Only Good (at Loving You)

She's My Little Getaway

The Silver Lining

Written and Produced by Chris Stanton

I was my own man
Livin’ day to day was the only kinda plan
I needed

They tried to take my hand
But every time I ran
I never thought I’d let nobody in

She crashed in just a pretty little thing
Pickin’ me up on her golden wings
And man, I ain’t ever comin’ down

She got love like honey and a kiss like ‘shine
Pretty little thing has got me buzzin’ all night
And man, I ain’t ever comin’ down

I was my own man
Never thought anybody else was worth that chance
I was foolish

Cuz she took my hand
Made me a better man
She showed me how to stand

Ain't Ever Coming Down

I Knew (w/ Steph Smith)

I ain't gonna see my girl again
She packed up, said goodbye
And walked right out the door
I'm still pickin' up the pieces
One by one, as they come
I'm just doin' the best I can

I'll rebuild
I'll retry
I'll refill all the tears you took outta my eyes
I will learn
To be kind
And forgive you for the love you gave up in time

If I'm bein' honest I gotta say
She was never right for me anyway
And I got a lotta life to start livin'
Right here and right now
Yeah she broke my heart

We can blame it on the change in weather
Or cross our fingers 'til it all gets better
But what's done is done
And it's on me
(to rebuild)

In Time

Tangled

Back In Time

Hand me down
Like a sweater when I age
Tell my stories 
Give my name

Let me go
Like a fire in the rain
'Cause I've still got a few stops left
On my train

When I grow old
I hope that I'm in love
And I hope my parents know
That they did enough

I may not have
The treasure or the life of fame
But they don't make the wheels go 'round 
On my train

I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna feed my soul 
I'm gonna take my time
Out where the green grass grows

I'm gonna give my heart
I won't be afraid
When the storm blows in I'll still be
On my train

To live a life you love
is harder than it seems
it's so much easier
just to make ends meet

But that's the beauty of it
It's never too late
I dusted off my boots, said I'm comin' through
And got on my train

Lay me down
By the hills of California
Down by the water
When my time is done

Send me away 
with the lives I touched
and the love I gave
I'll find my way
