Hey Baby
Can I call you baby?
I should have checked first
is that OK?
And I'm sorry
I shoulda known better
It's my mistake and
I'm to blame...
And I want you to help me get through
what I'm trying to say out loud in a way
that doesn't seem so proud
And I need to get this off my chest
One more drink should do the rest
and I can finally tell you
how you make me feel...
Hey Sweetheart
Is that any better?
Please tell me the right words to say
Cuz I'm so tired of tripping and stumbling
When I'm trying to talk to you
that way...

Meant To Be (Acoustic)

They tore down the pool where we first met
It bums me out but it makes sense
It's the perfect metaphor on how you and I are now
But if we'd known the end from the start
would it have made a bit of difference?
I'll never regret the moment we first met
I swear I felt our eyes kiss
And I need something
to make me feel that way again...
This is just and epitaph for you and me and what we had
When my favorite bands sing their broken-hearted ballads
I'm forced to accept that I still miss you
Listening to Where You Want To Be
Takes me back to those nights we didn't sleep
We just laid there and talked about our hopes and dreams
Like where we'd live, and what we'd name the kids
when we started our family
Right from the start I thought that
we were meant to be
But I guess that's not a real thing...
To think that I would have married you someday
In fact I would have married you instantly
I need something to make me feel that way again

Hey there Chelsea you look so pretty
You could be a model or something with a degree
If that's what you wanted to be
I'd never tell you anyway cuz I can't stand to see you cry
at night when you take off your face
and go to bed with some other guy
And I know you don't miss me
You probably think it's silly
That I'm writing a song for you
When you're 834 miles away
But I hope you remember this song
When you hit the streetlights of NY
While I'm clutching my pillow
back in Chicago
OK I'll stop calling
You never seem to pick up anyway
And I'm sorry that I never think of anything
Interesting to say
So I'll cling to the memories
of late drives and punk shows
With the laughter cutting through
all our sore throats
It's kinda funny how fast the time goes

An Empty Cup

All I can hope to be is
A cup hidden in your cabinetry
Maybe eventually you'll
Pick me up and hold me
Fill my emptiness and
Press your lips against me
I know I'll always be
Pushed to the back
And out of reach -still-
All I can hope to be is
A cup hidden in your cabinetry
Maybe eventually you'll
Pick me up and hold me
Fill my emptiness and
Press your lips against me
I'll wait for you to notice me

"Air Quotes" (Acoustic)

I'd like to say that I'm passionate
But my friends all say I'm just full of shit
And I always felt I was meant for more then this
Enough time has passed
Where I'm beginning to see
I hate more then half the choices I make
And that's less and less of a fluke then a consistency
I'm just dying to brake me!
I'd like to say that I'm passionate
But my friends all say I'm just full of shit
And I always felt I was better then this
But I never am
The man they want me to be
And they all hate it when I'm genuinely me
So I'm stuck between who I am
And who I'm supposed to be
So tonight I'll drink with my friends
Until we forget that we have these problems
And when Tito passes out
We'll draw weird shit on his forehead
And we'll sit out by the fire until three in the morning
So think what you want and say what you will
But these are my friends
And tonight we're happy!
These are my friends and this is me
These are my friends don't tell us who to be
These are my friends and this is me
