This Time Around

When I go to bed and when I try to sleep
The sting in my eyes from cups of caffeine
All the methods I use to try and stay awake
Are working perfectly at the wrong time of day
Cuz driving home from work with headlights all the way
It ain't living your life its just a price you pay
So someone else's song gets sang more than your own
While you try to sing along through some broken microphone
I was lying when I told you
I've pulled myself together
I've pulled myself out
Tomorrow will be better maybe
This time, oh this time around
Now the apple of my eye that keeps the doctor away
It tastes a bit like fire but its the bed that I've made
Cuz its all that I can use to fill the empty space
Left inside this house since you had to go away
I was lying when I told you
I've pulled myself together
I've pulled myself out
Tomorrow will be better maybe
This time, oh this time around
And I always tried to tell you
I've pulled myself together
I've pulled myself out
Tomorrow will be better Baby
This time, oh this time around
When I go to bed and when I try to sleep
I can't shake this feeling I'm living in a dream

I'm not sure if love if love is blind because I've always seen it
Pass right before my eyes a mile a minute
So "if you want the truth then I think that I will go"
We know the time ain't right "I'm sorry I brought you home"
Cuz I saw your eyes and what they mean
Two broken hearts on a cold evening
Though we heard that song we couldn't stop listening
I'm sorry I brought you home
(I can't believe what you said)
I'm sorry I brought you home
(I can't believe what you said)
I'm sorry I brought you
Do you remember that night you showed up at my door?
You wore a face that said "I've come back for more"
Do you remember that night you swore you'd take him home?
Did you want to prove yourself? Are you scared of being alone?
Still I saw your eyes and shaking knees
And I heard your song in the wrong key
And on that long walk back I felt so differently
I'm sorry I brought you home
(I can't believe what you said)
I'm sorry I brought you home
(I can't believe what you said)
I'm sorry I brought you
If home is where the heart is then I think my heart just stopped

(I Can't) Fix You
04:36
|

|
Been out of touch but on my mind
When I see you on the street tonight
Catch my breath and hold my tongue
And bite back words that I've kept tucked behind my teeth
I'm too desperate to hate you
Lord I'm proud that I'm ashamed
To act blind when I might see
Maybe I'm the one who changed
Suddenly, I know I can't fix you
I know, I know I can't fix you
It was just a fleeting glimpse
Through a window in the crowd
I could stretch the truth of what this is
All the good that would do me
Anyhow, I know I can't fix you
I know, I know I can't fix you
Cuz you're exactly where you want to be
And I'm drunk here alone, face down on the couch
But being alone ain't so bad
Its just a fear that we all have
Its a fear of the things we have to face alone
Eventually, I'll know I can't fix you
And I'll know, I'll know I can't fix you
I'll know, I'll know I can't fix you
I'll know, I'll know I can't fix you
Like all these cracks in the sidewalks and the ones in my heart
I will fill them with these things that tear me apart
When I'm walking past your house with a brown paper bag
Its a drop of the poison running straight through my legs
When I'm walking past your house humming a song
Face down on the cushions is where I belong
As I sift through the static on my TV set
It reminds me that love lost ain't love's death
And I ain't dead yet
No I'm ain't dead

As the Clock Goes
05:08

The hospital and a long night
A phone call and fate conspired
A signal nothings ever fine
When the clock shows
Eights blink in time
As the clock goes by
And I've seen these things break
Like I saw how you broke
Makes me lie here awake
To see you lie there alone
The snow falls, banks pile higher
And the plows form some gravel choir
The bell tolls, another shift retires
From your bedside
Swear I catch a smile
When I look at your face
I see the last time we spoke
I wish nothing had changed
I wish you could come home
You said "I know"
Said "its alright"
"I'm right here"
"Will you stay a while?"
With eyes closed,
Our hands entwined,
As your heart slows,
Eights blink in time

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!
