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.

Bonus Track!
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
