FOR THE RECORD
For the record, listen here young man
You're not too old, ya know. You're not too old yet.
For the record, listen here young man
You're growing bolder now.
Release that weight from off you shoulder
And the record is spinning slower now.
It's a mystery that life is more than what you see
And for the record I know I'm talking in my sleep
But I'm awake now. I am wide awake.
I do not expect
perfection and a clear reflection in the mirror.
I will not forget
confessions when your reflection becomes so clear.
Simply repeated because you're tired and you look sad.
Close your eyes my love; dreaming realize.
Do not misread it for being over when it's not.
The light has just begun to shine upon your way.
You've not been cheated
when all has seemed to pass you by.
Maybe your dreams are bigger than any you have seen. Time to believe in more than human eyes can see.
Cause life is bigger than even our wildest dreams.
Time drips like memories fading before me.
There's still so much left for us to give.
Seconds turn hours turn days months and years.
There still so much left for us to live.
This is not the end of dreaming.
We still have the rest of forever.
This is only the beginning;
the days that we'll always remember,
for the record.

Fireflies For Jennie

FIREFLIES
Oh sweet Jennie, dry your eyes.
I'm gonna catch you some fireflies tonight.
They're gonna light up your heart
and the dark places of your mind and soul;
where you're so tired of all the tears
and scared to be alone.
Oh sweet Jennie, here's a feather for your flight.
Sweet angelic sight, you're an angel of the light.
You're gonna soar above the clouds;
the storm waves, crashing far below.
And the mighty prince of your peace
is binding up your sorrow.
Reach for the light,
so you can see
that everything is gonna be alright
Sweet girl, don't you say,
that it's all over now
Everything is gonna be ok
Oh sweet Jennie, wrap yourself up tight
in the atmosphere of light from the fireflies tonight
And I think you just might be an angel of the light
Turn your crystal eyes towards the lights of heaven.
Reach for the light,
so you can see
that everything is gonna be alright
Sweet girl, don't you say,
that it's all over now
Everything is gonna be ok
I'm gonna catch you some fireflies.
I'm gonna catch you some fireflies.
I'm gonna catch you some fireflies tonight.
(Angel of the light)

INTO THE WHITE
VERSE1The darkness of the night is calling me deeper still; slowly surely fracturing my unholy will. CHORUS To survive this so called life. Desert chimes into the white. And there is an angel on my tv floating above the drum from the Dominican. And there is a lion staring at me; sitting on the windowsill just as quiet as he can be. VERSE2 Driving blind so seemingly into the white; Twisting, turning, sliding until the light of the day. Let me go, Just let me go myself. Let it snow, Let it snow. CHORUS And there is an angel on my tv floating above the drum from the Dominican. And there is a lion staring at me; sitting on the windowsill just as quiet as he can be. Let me go, just let me go myself. Let it snow; let it snow. BRIDGE Like everything falling all around me. Like the snow, I tried not to doubt that it will come. Finally winter skies are breaking with the snow. I tried not to doubt that it would come it would come. It will come, like the snow. VERSE3 Try to sing these songs before they leave me; wherever lost songs go throughout eternity. Try to write the ones I just sang before. But a few must have just floated right out the door while I looked for my journal to write them in. CHORUS

WHISPER
VERSE1 Something about the way you said my name today made my heart melt. You made my heart melt. It's all in the way you waited just to hear me say you make my heart melt. You make my heart melt. CHORUS You, you always knew my heart to be deep and true. And you, you always knew that my flame only burns for you. That my flame only burns for you. VERSE2 Wake in the morning waiting just to meet with you. You make my heart right, you make my heart bright. Shining your light of life upon my morning skin. You make my heart light, you make my heart bright. CHORUS My flame only burns for you. Even when I'm unfaithful to you. You, you already knew that my flame only burns for you. That my flame only burns for you. BRIDGE Whispering secrets that only you could know. Forgetting my regrets like only you can show me how to. Forgetting this world, forgetting this world all around, all around, all around me. Forgetting this world, forgetting this world all around, all around, all around me. Whispering secrets that only you could know. VERSE1 Something about the way you said my name today made my heart melt. You make my heart melt.

NOTHING STAYS
VERSE 1The same is an ever-changing state therefore, nothing stays. Misguided and casted too late before I can say that you are CHORUS Outside all my realms of understanding. I've fallen for you. You've capsized all the life that I was planning. I'm abandoned to you. VERSE2 Winter flowers seem frozen bait. They'll bloom anyway. Confused and afraid dissipate whenever I play. I'm painting a crimson gold plate in colors of gray. I'm leaving my fortune to fate. I'll believe come what may. BRIDGE1You are outside of this world's eye (I) find myself here away. CHORUS | VERSE3 Boys never stand in line straight. They'll wait another day for girls dancing behind the gate. They're dancing away. Sometimes I smile but it's fake; pretend I'm ok. But inside I'm crying a lake. I'm not always this way. BRIDGE2 See to it that we never part. See constant in my indecisive heart. Forever sing to me a sweet melody of forever the sky. We do not ever leave or say goodbye. Don't you say goodbye, Oh no. Nothing stays, nothings stays, nothing ever stays the same. Except you. CHORUS

WAGON TRIPS
INTRO Your deep brown, so familiar; like the sound of this guitar. Your deep brown, so familiar that I smile with every thought I have of you. VERSE1 Wagon trips to the corner store for a tasty cake and a yoo-hoo. Squeeze my little hand three times and I love you too. My childhood memories of you. CHORUS1 I'll always be looking up to you. VERSE2 Early rising to see you off. You even let me think that I could shave my face. I'm watching you through the window go. When you get to main street don't forget to wave. Evening walks to the snowball stand. Crackers and mints incase we make a new friend. Bed time stories till you fall asleep. Just before I can say BN. CHORUS2 I'll always be looking up to you. Do you know that you're my hero. VERSE3 While you're sleeping we'll exchange dreams. My little pony and a princess too. Daddy remember what did you just dream. Was it the dream that I gave to you? Pulling my sled behind you on your bike. The neighbors all laugh as we ride by. I always had to be beside you, all the time. Don't you go without me don't you even try. I know I'm not a little girl anymore; I'll always be yours. I know I'm not a little girl anymore; I'll always be yours. I'll always be yours. CHORUS2 I'll always be looking up to you. Do you know that you're my hero. BRIDGE You used to sing my name as you played this same guitar. And I love you so much more than all the stars. All the stars, they shine for you.
