Seasons change
So did our love
I can't see your face
Or the way you would smile
The world keeps on spinning
Around us
While I keep on missing
My California Sunshine
Locks of red the most beautiful I've ever seen
Don't belong to me
You took me places
That I never knew
But the distance caught up
We couldn't see it through
Six southern states separate you from me
Oh how I hate our state
So many times I've dreamed of being near
Oh how I long for that day

Here's a song I wrote for you
Katherine
It's not much but it's all I can do
I can't seem to win
I know you're not looking for a man by your side
But let me try, I'll treat you right
Pretending to be nothing more than a friend
Is taking its toll on me
If nice guys always finish last
Then consider me the epilogue
I'll know all of your favorite things
But I just don't belong
"I wish we knew each other better."
Is what you said to me
Well I think it's funny cause isn't that what
Life is meant to be?
Here's a song named after you
Katherine
I know it's not much so I'll leave it here
And join the rest

It Still Burns

When I let you walk away
I didn't know how much I'd break
You took the keys, walked out the door
I knew then I was done for sure
But my heart's still on fire
Won't you put it out for me?
The smoke is filling up my lungs
Distorting everything I see
But I can't help but think this is what you had in mind
From the very start when you crossed the line
I'm not sorry I am not like those other guys
I just can't sleep and let it be
There was once a girl I knew
Bible in hand through and through
I was in love and so was she
Except it wasn't with me
Well she set my heart on fire
Til this day it still burns
I wish I could douse the flames
So maybe I wouldn't feel the pain
My heart's still on fire
Til this day it still burns
Though it burns me just as strong
It no longer burns for you

I Do, Not Adieu
04:28

When I can find
Another mind
That matches mine
Is my idea of love
And if you don't agree
Then can't you see
That you and me
Just shouldn't be
Say I do
Oh please
Not adieu
We kiss on the lips
From time to time
But that little kiss
Don't make you mine
Unless your idea of together
Is exactly the same
Say I do
Oh please
Not adieu
You take and you take
And I'm the fool who keeps on giving
Of all my mistakes
Not a single one I regret
Well it's time I leave
I need a two-way street
I've already had my share
Of ones
Another life, it could be nice
But that's a compromise that I cannot make
Say I do
Oh please
Not adieu
Say I do
Oh please
Not adieu

Kitchen Window

Sitting by my kitchen window
With my oven on tryna stay warm
It's cold outside but it's even colder in here
Where I sit by myself all the time
People come and people will go
Like an ever revolving door
It's funny how with the flick of a switch
You'll forget today ever happened
Where do our memories go?
Are they locked away for safekeeping?
There's a leak in my faucet
Every day it drips and drips
Pulsing with the constant beat of time
Nothing ever stops for anything
There's a whole world out there
But I'm just fine staying right here
Where the rules never change and there's nothing to fear
It is here I can stand to bear
So leave me by myself
I can't handle the world as of now
26 going on 50
Years from now will I remember today?
Tryna stay warm, alone with my thoughts
Sitting by my kitchen window
