looking back, i can see the error of my ways i can’t move forward without moving two steps back perpetually lost in a maze filled with traps i beg for mercy but there’s no way out and i’m gonna need some time just to find some peace of mind and i’m gonna need some time just to find some peace of mind i love you baby but i’m going a bit crazy most of these days k’m feeling pretty lazy writing my destiny with each failed song attempt gotta get out of this horrible predicament and i’m gonna need some time just to find some peace of mind and i’m gonna need some time just to find some peace of mind

pray for me 04:55
last night i saw you at the show we didn’t really say much to each other oh that’s right, i forgot, i forgot, i forgot that i’m alone here pray for me if you can cause i really need it now i really need it now last night i saw you walking home i turned away and went on my own oh that’s right, i forgot, i forgot, i forgot that i’m alone here pray for me if you can cause i really need it now i really need it now and now i see you’re doing so well that makes me feel like i was holding you back i wish the world would swallow me up so I won’t have to see you again i hope that you found what you were looking for

blue star 01:45
blue star in the sky watching it fly away to a brighter day blue star in the sky watching it fly away to a brighter day when you’re not around i hear this awful sound that makes me go hide away underground send me a postcard, send me a letter never forget when we were together send me a postcard, send me a letter never forget when we were together i can hear your voice, i can hear your voice through the echoes of time, i wonder where you are now

fall song 02:12
i can’t keep hanging on to you it can’t keep going on like this one more night and I’m sick for you why can’t I wake up from this nightmare? i don’t care for it at all, i think I hit a wall and I can’t go on, i think I hit a wall i don’t feel so strong, i think I hit a wall so get me away from here so the coast is clear for you to be in harmony and that is something we can all agree like a bird in cage, fly away, fly away

the mountain 04:23
rolling around the mountain, i have a nice pair of shoes the day is here to say hello my dear the sun is shining like a burning daffodil a peaceful farewell to the horror where we dwell

montréal 03:47
you can dry your clothes in the rain, you can act completely insane and if you want I can help you out, if you want I can help you out you can float inches off of the ground, you can keep on holding me down and if you want I can lift you up, if you want I can lift you up you can vanish into the dark, you can go drinking in the park and if you want I’ll be there with you, if you want I’ll go there with you you can write a hundred songs, it wouldn’t take you very long and if you want I can let you go, if you did you would let me

all these jobs, they kill my soul, they kill my soul where do i belong? i don’t know, i don’t know father’s day, i say, give me a hand and say you understand all these jobs, they drive me insane, they drive me insane where do I belong? take me away, take me away father’s day, i say, take my hand and say you understand

when 02:18
“when?” is the question i ask of you how long must i wait making these little songs? i don’t know what it’s all supposed to mean “when?” is the question i ask of you, my dear like a little rainbow, i haven’t seen you in awhile and now, i ask “when?"
13.
oh sweetness 06:30
oh it hurts, oh it hurts so much oh lord if you’re listening to me, enough is enough when will i hear you call my name? i’m waiting for you to let me come back to you again i’m tired and i want to hold you again i miss you so much, i scream your name, oh how many more nights will i spend? how many more nights can i spend for one night with you? that’s all i need, that’s all i need you broke my heart and i broke your heart but you found it and put it back together again i haven’t found my heart, i lost it, i lost it forever but i want a chance, i want a chance, to find another one oh sweetness oh sweetness you found me, i was here all along oh sweetness you found me, you were there all along i couldn’t wait any longer for this moment to arrive and now that i’m here with you i need to apologize, one more time

it’s december ninth, two thousand sixteen as i write you from far away it’s negative four but feels much colder and the snow is here to stay i haven’t seen you in about 2 years and i really miss your face and i know that we weren’t the best of friends but i mean that anyway and i was convinced that she loved me but she didn’t and that’s ok and i keep going back to the same old thing but now i’m here to say when the cold hits, you’ll realize it’s shit
