Free
to Love You
Listen to these words
carefully,
they may not be able to come out of my mouth
again.
Even when I say them tenderly
to my lips, they bring so
much pain.
My mouth
has been shut for so long
And I don’t think I am that strong…
(Chorus)
If
I could only tell you how I feel, then our love could be real.
If
I could only say the words, my life would feel pain no more.
If I
could just reach out to you, tell you that I’m blue
and tell you
the things that I wish to do
Maybe then you’d understand me,
fulfill me, complete me
Maybe then, just maybe, you’d love me.
Listen as
I tell you this,
this might be the last time we speak.
I don’t
know about your reaction,
about this most interesting
attraction.
Listen as I tell you this,
I don’t want it to be
the last we speak.
My heart
has been shut for so long
It’s a muscle that’s weak and not so
very strong…
(Chorus)
If
I could only tell you how I feel, then our love could be real.
If
I could only say the words, my life would feel pain no more.
If I
could just reach out to you, tell you that I’m blue
and tell you
the things that I wish to do
Maybe then you’d understand me,
fulfill me, complete me
Maybe then, just maybe, you’d love me.
Maybe then
you’ll love me,
and I’ll feel free to love you
too.

One
Moment
(Chorus)
One moment can
define them all
One instant can change it all
So let's choose
wisely
Baby, let's choose wisely
Between
our houses there's a sea
That seems to stretch for miles
It's
too bad, all I wanna see
All I wanna see is your smile
You fill
my heart with much regret
Of things that haven't happened
yet
Let's think twice, baby let's think twice
And see what we
can realize
(Chorus)
One
moment can define them all
One instant can change it all
So
let's choose wisely
Baby, let's choose wisely
****
Melt
my Ice
You’re the only one in my
mind, even as I hold her hand
Is it wrong to feel this way? Is it
wrong to want you this bad?
My girlfriend is such a sweet girl,
I’d hate to break her heart
But all I do is think of you,
together or apart
(Chorus)
Cause
when you came into my life, you shot me like a spark
You walked
into the classroom--you were so full of light
I could swear, I
could swear on my guitar, everything went dark
And you were like a
candle, the only thing in sight
Now I sit
in bed with her, both of us doing homework
And I can feel you
between math equations just like a stupid dork
She speaks, and
it’s not your voice. She looks and it’s not your eyes
Should
I tell her? Should I tell you? I feel frozen, I’m on ice
(Chorus)
Cause
when you came into my life, you shot me like a spark
You walked
into the classroom--you were so full of light
I could swear, I
could swear on my guitar, everything went dark
And you were like a
candle, the only thing in sight
You are
like a candle
The one to melt my ice

As
the Devil is My Witness
I’ve
done terrible things before
I am just a guy
But this time, this
one I can’t ignore
How could I?
As the
devil is my witness
I never meant for this to happen
Now I find
myself in hallways
admiring you from afar
And when you move
I
move with you
My heart wants to keep you in sight
This is my
crime
Just being consumed, the infatuation of a guy
I should do
my time
Just be more conscious, or at least say Hi
As the
devil is my witness
I never meant for this to happen
Now I find
myself in hallways
admiring you from afar
And when you move
I
move with you
My heart wants to keep you in sight
Will I ever
get the courage to tell you
exactly what I feel inside?
I’ve
done terrible things before
But I don’t want to stalk you
So
today, I walk up to you
Just
Just to say Hi to
you
****
Forever Your
Pet
Here I stand in the rain,
letting it soak through my clothes
I’m thinking of you in the
backyard, and nothing more
It dawns on me I’m like a dog on a
chain, on a tree
Just waiting for you, my owner, to play with me
(Chorus)
I’m
forever your pet
The one thing I won’t regret
Your kisses are
treats
Your hugs are my feast
I’m forever your pet
This
you’ll never regret
Your touch is a treat
That tames my
beast
Here I
lean on the brick wall of the schoolyard
Unthinking about you has
become much too hard
My friends try to snap me out of it
But
they know, they just know I’ve lost it
For you
My
owner
(Chorus)
I’m
forever your pet
The one thing I won’t regret
Your kisses are
treats
Your hugs are my feast
I’m forever your pet
This
you’ll never regret
Your touch is a treat
That tames my
beast
Here I
stand in the rain, letting it soak through my clothes
I’m
thinking of you in the backyard
Thinking of you
And nothing
more
****
Come
Clean
My trust has been
divided
Even though you are my girl
My friends tell me one
thing
My head’s become a swirl
Where do
you go
when you say you’re going to the
library?
Are you
also lying to your parents
Or just me?
My trust
is slit in half
What you say versus the rumors
Sometimes I just
laugh
What is happening to us?
Since you
can’t come clean
No one else will do it for you
And I can’t
live like this
Always doubting you
Get the
dirt off you
(Come clean)
Get the dust off
(Come clean)
Get
the dirt off you
(Come clean)
Get the dust off
(Come
clean)
****
Add Me
I
added you on my page
To get closer to your life
I wanna see the
pics you post
I wanna read what you write
And, hey, it’s not
a bad bonus
That I get access to your smile
But give
me a backstage pass
Give me a private invitation
I’m tired of
just talking in class
I hunger for more conversation
I added
you on my page
Now add me to your life
****
Thoughts
on You
I went to the beach
today
But the ocean didn’t wanna chat
I walked all along the
coast line
Until I could take no more of that
My
thoughts were all on you
(Chorus)
Not
the sun, not the sand,
Not the ocean spray in my eyes
Not a
seagull can understand
Nobody can
No lifeguard can save me
My
beautiful…you lied to me.
I went
back up to my car
And found my old radio was taken
The remnants
of a crowbar
And my ego was still aching
All
this.
And my thoughts were still on you.
I drove
away anyway
The sun setting behind me
Ending this awful day
The
day that you blindsided me
(Chorus)
Not
the sun, not the sand,
Not the ocean spray in my eyes
Not a
seagull can understand
Nobody can
No lifeguard can save me
My
beautiful…you lied to me.
Yet my
thoughts are still on you…

She
Has Poetry Down Her Legs
That girl
in the flare jeans
almost bell-bottoms from the 70’s
Approaches
me and I melt.
She makes
me crazy
like the 90’s
something I’ve never felt.
(Chorus)
Hair
down to her waist
Life is not the same
A different decade here
to waste
a new flavor for me to taste
But when she comes near
me
with those jeans all written
she has poetry down her
legs
and I’m smitten
That girl
with the tank top
hair with random braids
She approaches and I
melt.
She makes
me insane
brings the 80’s to shame
something I’ve never
felt
(Chorus)
Hair
down to her waist
Life is not the same
A different decade here
to waste
a new flavor for me to taste
But when she comes near
me
with those jeans all written
she has poetry down her
legs
and I’m smitten
She has
written me
tattooed me on her jeans
More flare, more poetry
I
am smitten oh so hopelessly

Liza
Hey,
hey…Liza it’s not fair.
Hey, hey…quit playing with your
hair.
Hey, hey…don’t look at me like that
with those green
eyes like a cat.
Liza
stepped off the bus that morning
to break up with me and
shatter
everything I had going
on a silver platter.
The girl
is cold.
Not even a hello.
Just the wind that blows
~the
lowest of the low.
Hey,
hey…Liza it’s not fair.
Hey, hey…quit playing with your
hair.
Hey, hey…don’t look at me like that
with those green
eyes like a cat.
Liza
scraped my initials on her leg
and I sure as hell got mad when she
bled.
She said she was crazy about me.
How could this be?
Liza
shoulder checks me in the halls.
Liza has stopped returning all
her calls.
Liza’s contacts are now blue.
No more green, now
an icy hue.
Hey,
hey…Liza it’s not fair.
Hey, hey…quit playing with your
hair.
She chews bubble gum as she tells me…
It was never her,
it was all me.
Hey,
hey…don’t look at me so long
with those blue eyes icy
cold.

Rock and Roll Love
Songs
Imagine a world where you
and I could be
Where we were free to feel
A place where you and
I could live
together, lives that are real
No more secrets on
our tongues
Only rock and roll love songs
(Chorus)
One
big circle carousel
Spinning round around my head
You and I
were meant to be
Lean your head, your head on me
Imagine a
world where we could scream
Let everyone know of our love
Where
everything was what it seems
As below, my love, so above
No
more secrets in our tongues
Only rock and roll love songs
(Chorus)
One
big circle carousel
Spinning round around my head
You and I
were meant to be
Lean your head, your head on me
Together
we will be
Happy as can be
