Blowing Smoke

Maybe I should close my eyes
Maybe I should wear my smile
Like a loaded gun, like a setting sun, like a hurricane
Maybe I could waste your time
Maybe you want some of mine
But there's a pretty fine line between want and wanted
And by now you'd think I'd know how to let things go
Maybe I should move upstate
Wrap it up, get on my way
Like a one-act play, like a holiday, like cellophane
Maybe I could leave tonight
Maybe you want to hitch a ride
But there's a pretty fine line between want and wanted
And by now you'd think I'd know how to let things go
And by now you'd think I'd know I'm only ever blowing smoke

Lying awake inside of my head
And I'm hearing every damn sound
The beetles that buzz and the cars always coming
Just passing through town
While across the way a neon sign's fingers pry through my shade
Though I draw the blinds every night I'm starting to think
That it won't do a thing
And it never will

Anything Or Everything

I know you too well to know how to say
"You know me too well to say nothing at all"
And there's no right way to know how to say
"There is no right way"
So say anything
Or everything
You know I wish you would tell me what it is that I'm missing
You know I... I'm not one for getting
Anything more than the bare truth
Tell me why you don't see what I do
This could be the chance we have to get it right
I waited so long to tell you why
I waited so long to say something at all
Yeah there's no right time to know what to say
There is no right time
To say anything
Or everything
Like how I wish I could tell you what it is that your missing
You know I... I'm not one for giving
Anything more than my very all
I'll be there you just have to call
When you want to take the chance to get it right
But you gotta call
And we gotta talk
Might say nothing at all
Or say everything

The War On Comfort

The War on Comfort
The one I need
I can't pick a side
I will not be aligned
I can't find the context
Between what I need
Between what I want
What I can get for free
They say go all in or nothing
But they don't bet on me
They know the house always wins
But I know those drinks are free
So when I spin that dial
And put it all on green
If it comes up black
Well I'll know what it means
I wanna stand for something
I'm tired of falling asleep
Thought we won in '68
I guess that was all just a dream
And you're not Janis Joplin
I'm not John Fogerty
The bad moon's on the rise
Can't stop it hard as we try

A Song For Helga Pataki

Spent most of my life
Looking for a sign
I know may never come
That things may never change
But I'm so in love
With my own bad luck
And all my past mistakes
Oh ain't it a shame
And I know I've been unkind to you before
Please know: my heart and mind are a tug of war
And I know I've got no right
To come calling for you at your door hoping you'll let me in
But it's as good a place as any my friend
You're always on my mind
And there's been too many times
To tell you everything
And make you feel the same
And if I weren't so young
Maybe I'd give it up
And set my heart to sea
Just wash it away from me
And I know I've fed some lines to you before
Please know: my heart and mind are a tug of war
And I know I've got no right
To ask you for one second more to explain who I really am
But it's as good a time as any my friend
As good a time as any my friend

Loveable Losers

I recorded, mixed and mastered this record for my good buddy Dylan. I am by no means a great recording engineer but these songs are so good that my amateur skills don't get in the way. Check it out!
