I think I'm gonna call this one "Time Moves Fast"
Full vid on youtube:) Link in bio
LYRICS:
Donnie walked to the corner
For the bus when a quarter
was enough for the ride across town.
Now he sits with the paper
Nothing goin on later
What’s a four-letter word for six down?
Ooo ooo
Time moves fast and our bodies slow down
Grandpa’s music is Oldies now
We come and we go
we live then we don’t
but it’s all that we can do
What should I call this one?
LYRICS:
Plastic stars glowin in the dark in a bedroom galaxy
Northern lights as cars go by on the walls of Sam McGee
Ten past nine, past his bedtime and he can’t seem to fall asleep
‘Cause at 8am sitting next to him
Is a girl named Valerie
He says, “please, someone help me cause I don’t know what to do?
Save me from this heartache that this girl has put me through.”
I think we are meant to be
Ooo Valerie
A midnight skyline, a New York high rise, a man’s lookin at a screen.
The DOW is fallin’ like a cloud of pollen,
The worst he’s ever scene
He says please someone help me cause I don’t know what to do?
I’m tired of this heartache that this world has put me through
Is this all I’m meant to be?
Oh, it’s hard to see
Mr. Porter is in his corner, the nurse tucks in the sheets
Family files in for short goodbyes and a last kiss on the cheek
He says, “Please, don’t you miss me cause I’m there in each of you.
“How lovely is this heartache that this world’ll put you through?
“Everything is meant to be
“Oh, soon you’ll see”
This one’s called “Left on Read”

LYRICS:
I was gonna be the one to hold you tight
I was gonna be the one to treat you right
But you, you left me on the street
And now I’m all alone tonight
All this time, you got me fallin down
I’m head over heels
you ‘got me thinking I might, be right
For you, so why am I standing here
as you drive away in an Uber ride.
And you can’t get out of my head
And I’m left on “read.”
Heres one called “Two Rights Made a Wrong”
Full vid on YouTube:) series is called 28 for 28…
LYRICS:
Daylight is a harsh reminder
I should leave the house
I’ve tried but there ain’t no blinds
To keep your memory out
Like a child and a three ring binder
I sure need some help
Daylight is harsh reminder
I’m all by myself
I didn’t want to talk it through with common sense
But I was promised being honest was always for the best
You spoke your mind and I spoke mine until we said it all
How come this time two rights made a wrong?
How come this time two rights made us wrong?
Nighttime has a way of finding
What you miss the most
Hold tight while I’m reckless driving
Down our memory coast
Like a tide in a full moon rise
I’m setting record lows
Nighttime has a way of finding
Me when I’m alone
I didn’t want to talk it through with common sense
But I was promised being honest was always for the best
You spoke your mind and I spoke mine until we said it all
How come this time two rights made a wrong?
How come this time two rights made us wrong?
This one’s called “We Lie”

This one’s called “I Like You Around”
Full vid on Youtube. Link in bio (series is called 28 for 28)
LYRICS:
If I was more forward
I would say I’m looking forward to a kiss
I’d lean a little closer, push you up against the poster
but I won’t, I’ll only tell you this
I like you around
Yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say before this foot goes in my mouth
Maybe I’ll write it down
How the way you look at me, it simply melts me to the ground
and the way you say my name puts me at ease
And the day is never sunny when you leave
so don’t leave
God, let me be bolder
than just brushing up my shoulder against yours
I want you to stay over
but I’m holding my cards closer
as I grab your things and walk you to the door
But I like you around
Yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say before this foot goes in my mouth
Maybe I’ll write it down
How the way you look at me, it simply melts me to the ground
and the way you say my name puts me at ease
And the day is never sunny when you leave so don’t leave
Who’s to say where it’s gonna lead?
Is it you or me, who calls the shots?
Times like these I wish I had a key
Then, I wouldn’t have to be pick your lock
La da daa
La da daa
But I like you around
Yeah, that’s all I’m gonna say before this foot goes in my mouth
This one’s called “Hello Darlin”
Wrote it with my friend @marcelsalapa

Lyrics:
Hello darlin
Did the sun hit your apartment
Like it did mine?
Tell me, sweetheart
Did you skip your morning coffee Like I did mine?
A couple things we left unspoken
But somehow that’s alright
Ooo
That’s alright
Hello honey
I can’t wait until the weekend
To see those eyes
Hey there angel
I went out into the water
With you on my mind
A couple things we left unspoken
But somehow that’s alright
There’s something beautiful in knowin
We’ll always have last night
Ooo
Ooo

Lyrics:
I don’t know where I’m goin but I’ll find my way
I don’t know where I
I don’t know where I’ll stay
Oh but one thing that’s for certain is I’m standing right here today
No one knows just what kind of life I oughta choose
No one knows me like
no one knows me like I do
But one thing that’s for certain is to know yourself is hard to do
[whistle break]
I used to ask my parents why we had to die
(they said) You’ve got so much more
You’ve got so much more time
One thing is for certain
One thing is for certain and I-
One thing is for certain and I can’t kick it down the line
