This was one of my first attempts at writing a song. It was meant to go with the instrumental track I posted of the same name. I didn't like the way it sounded with my vocals so I scrapped it. I had not ever added vocals to a song at that point..
I'm a man of my word, I mean what I say. My pledge is my bond, that's just my way. When you've made a promise, to someone who's gone. Well that's when forever seems a little too long.
You look bloated like a balloon. you eat the cake spoon after spoon. the chocolate's smeared around your mouth. . You're munching cookies. though you're not allowed to.
(Chorus). . I said M - I double S a' mhhm. I, double P - I. I'd love to cross over, pretty mama. But the water's way too high. . You see, it rained all night.
It's a game we play and we never know who's wining.. All the lights are off, we don't know where we're heading.. It's the price we pay, if we want to start living the right way..
Alright, mystify. . Mystify, yeah, you mystify. With your eyes. (Oh yeah, now with your eyes). Play the part. (Gotta play the part, play the part). Take your time, mystify.
Its My Christmas Wish. That You Love Me Too. I Wanna Spend Everyday With You. . Its My Christmas Wish. That Youll Always Be There. Cause Without You I Know I'd Be Nowhere.
My times up. And I don't care how I feel. I just don't care. I just don't care. . And everything dull has. Come at light to see you. And everything dull has.
Would you help me find a new way. Would you guide me through all of this again. Don't let me slip away. I need you here till the very end. . So stay here with me.
Let me tell you about a moonlight kiss. That she gave me on a night like this. Just a little taste of heaven's bliss. That I took away with me. . Any time I see the stars above.
I don't understand what people fuss about. Seems like they're all angry all the time. Mindin' everybody's business like it was their own. I can barely find the time for mine.
The noise pumping through your insides. Makes you wanna scream in pain. Visions get incomprehensible. You loose the touch with your brain. . As the blood runs thick and warm.
Take it easy, you know what'll tease me. And keep it sunshine. Though your life is cheesy. . You intimidate me and I'm on phantom ice. This ain't as it should be, nothing I recognize.
I never knew I had a father. Until I lost the sun. I didn't understand what he did. Or what he has done. . He took it much too far. Took it all in stride.
Now this could only happen to a guy like me. And only happen in a town like this. So may I say to each of you most gratefully. As I throw each one of you a kiss.
Woke up in the morning. fell out of bed. recall me what I'm dreaming. makes me sad. my face looks like a switchboard. operator takes my hand. he turns it till my eyes do flash.
its your smile that fuels my fire. its your eyes that guard my heart. sitting home alone with you dear,. has never made it so clear. this is where i wanna start.
Verse. There's no one to love, when push comes to shove. We're so far away, but still worth the wait. Bridges collapse and her tears turn to ash. You're the clock on the wall that continues to tok.
Verse. I don't know why I said those things that night. I don't know why I left. Shell move on with her life it won't take her. Very long to find a new guy.
