Fighting For Someday

Wait, Wait, Waiting

On my bed with a guitar and pick in hand
Thinking about my love
Writing soft words to sing to her, wondering when she'll call
Never had trouble naming my songs
It's the most beautiful part
Something in a dream only I can recall
Landmarking my thoughts, letting melodies mix within words
Watching the same uncentered picture right outside my window
With warm hearts and soft words

When it rains it pours
I'm knock, knock, knocking down your door
Just let me in, let me in
The early bird gets your heart
I've been wait, wait, waiting from the start
For you to kiss me hard, kiss me hard

This is harder than it looks
Writing nonsense words that make our songs our own
Picking through my favorite photographs, I'm kind of painting your picture
Who needs directions now?
Sometimes I can't see ten feet in front of me
Driving over sidewalks wishing there was some way I could get home faster
Losing ground to fantasy
I need to rescue me
Slowing down through green lights 'cause I'm blind to all the others
With warm hearts and soft words

Maybe you would call me up to say, "Help please, there's fire all around"
Wiping embers from my face, I'd find you in the room you dialed from
Phone still at hand
And I'd lift you up like heroes often do
To jump two stories down to the ground
At a run I'd take you to
The very park bench that we'd visit years from now and say
"This is where we fell in love"
We'd laugh and laugh and I'd hold you tight
Just like the night I saved your life, and you recounted every silly dream
Leaves filling the air, your hands dancing in my hair
Not a moment too soon, I'd lean into you
To kiss your lips like they've never been kissed
We'd catch eyes, and I'd know that you're mine

7 Letter Game

This is kind of a rotten song
'Cause I hate you and it's long
So I'll sing it in your ear
And I'm driving down your road
I could swear this is getting old
Well at least my head is clear

I'm a rose petal situation
I can't take what I'm taking
Rose petal situation
Have we hit the floor?

So my friends aren't in the know
Well they are, but you'll never know
I've been learning from taking heat
Yeah, I'm going out tonight
To forget all about your life
It's been due now, for weeks

The past is oh so daunting
But look the future's coming
Panic has led me nowhere
Someone get me high
I've lost at least a year's worth
Of wishful, happy thinking
My dear it's not so charming
Living in your wake

It's funny how I'm smiling
And things keep going my way
What's that they always told us
Nothing stays the same

Stupid Gorgeous

So if I wait 'til summer
Will you come along my way and make me hold my breath?
Have me ask you tonight
I'm in the company
Of all the people taking pictures of the two of us
I heard you whispered my name

So tonight, I'm taking count of the people in the streetlight
They're so in love, and they're passing by this so-called life
When you close your eyes to sleep
Just pretend you don't need me
Days la-la-late, I'm too too far gone to stay awake

And I saw something in you
A little dangerous, it's hidden by the glint of your eyes
Kiss and make me shake
The only difference between
What I do and what I say, oh god it starts this way
Can we take this slow?

(We're Just) Symptoms Of Time

I never have the time
To burn it down with you
We're changing all the ways we move
And I'll picture you in blue

Somehow we'll pick up where we left off
I'll be whatever you wanted from me
So take my hand, and take my word
I'll be right here

Take another breath
How about we sleep with it
You know it ends with me
A pretty face with no regret

Give me a sigh, we're just symptoms of time
Well you've got me
I'm not the artist or poet, you're my little reason
I won't go on and on

Orange Sky

And I bet your lips feel good on my lips
As your hand in my hand, or your arms around my neck
And I'm wondering when this night might get it's start
As we dive into the water
Oh luck might say I caught her

Well, I'm standing here, just a kid
Who's been staring at the orange sky
Wait, for a call, and the scene
Silhouetted in the brightest light
I wouldn't know what to think, if you kissed me
We would both be the one to fall

We're a last chance summer day that's gone too fast
And it's closing in on midnight, oh you've never felt just so right
I'll dedicate the coast to get a smile
It's suspense that knows you did it
And I'm loving every minute

Cue The Music

I think I love you, no wait, not yet
I'm in my head and I can't hear you
Time is anything but my friend
And I've never been anywhere at all
I never thought that I'd end up here
Coming up with a reason good enough
Let's get lost in the dark, I'll run
Anywhere your lips want me to go

I saw you sitting there across the room
With your arms hand in hand and your eyes in the mood
So I crossed the floor and made my way to you
I'm like the sun crossing stars to the moon
And I asked for your hand in this song
And we danced all night long

When it comes right down to it
I'm falling hard for this girl I barely know
She's a little bit like July
With the heat and the sun, when I'm up all night
And I could try harder, still
I've got her smiling back at me
If it's anything like they say
I'm exactly where I oughta be

I've been so lost in the way we up and left
And I'm just nervous for the part that's coming next
I'm falling hard for this girl I barely know
She's really funny and she doesn't say so
She laughs at herself, love, sex, and between
She hasn't taken life oh so seriously
she feels like July, when the sun breaks the sky
And I've been waiting for my moment to arrive

Amateur Hour

Do you remember the first time that we met?
It was early summer, but too late for me
You laughed and introduced yourself
You are the girl I think I need

All it takes is a pretty face to make me sweat
So come on and show your face

We're all here on this cold December night
It's all an act, and you're missing us in lights
Did the city win you over?
I'm hopeless with that smile
You're so damn cute when you lie

Say a word I'll take you home
Every night this part belongs to you
It's just a verse I know somehow
You want a show, I think you do

We're rolling our eyes over and over you
But you're a song still worth my time
