Coming Home

If you turn the pages, I’ll tell the story.
If you’ve got the patience, I’ve got the time.
And if you start doubting the words that I’m saying
You can see me about it any old time.
And I’ll admit, you took me by surprise.
But I can quit you even if I tried.
And when I stop talking, ‘cause I’m stuck up in my mind
You don’t close the book on me, you don’t leave me behind.
And when I am cruel, you are kind.
It takes a special kind of man to just swallow his pride.
And now I know that’s the way love goes,
and now I know this is how it feels coming home to you.
And now I know this is how it’s supposed to go,
Oh yeah I know, this is how feels coming home to you.

Friday Night

In a pool hall downtown on a Friday night
we’re all just waiting for you to step in the spotlight.
You give it all you’ve got and still you say
that you wish that you had some more to give away.
As we light a cigarette and watch the smoke lift off our lips.
I can tell you’ve got someone on your mind, but that’s alright ‘cause so do I.
And I know it’s only for the night, but I think that’s just fine because it’s just a little satisfaction,
Just a little distraction on a Friday night.
The air is thick and you said it yourself,
that you liked how it felt when I was around.
You held me tight I could hardly breathe and for a moment it was like we were all we’d ever need.
For a moment, just like the smoke in our lungs we rested easy and then moved on.
I know you’ve got someone on your mind, but that’s alright ‘cause so do I.
And I know it’s only for the night, but I think that’s just fine because it’s just a little satisfaction,
Just a little distraction on a Friday Night.

It's Not Too Late

I’m tired of listening to you,
but I’m lonely do you feel the same way too?
But I’m stuck here, I can’t speak or think.
I’m staring at walls here swimming in my drink, I’m swimming in my drink.
Well I’ll go crazy and you’ll get married,
and you’ll think of me and hope I’m not too damaged
from the night, when you cut like glass and you ran so fast and you vanished into the night.
But I still wear these scars and I cried in spite of ourselves.
Then someone calls out to me
like a distant memory and I fade into your blue eyes.
You’ll never know how it hurts me,
‘cause I still wanna believe in you and me and all those good times.
‘Cause it’s not too late for you to love me.
It’s not too late for you to try.
It’s not too late ‘cause we never said goodbye.
Well I’m doing better now in case you wanted to know.
I got a man who loves me and tells me so,
but I can’t quite settle into these bones.
I keep my heart in a glass cage and I can’t help but throw stones, I keep throwing stones.
Then someone calls out to me
like a distant memory and I fade into your blue eyes.
You’ll never know how it hurts me,
‘cause I still wanna believe in you and me and all those good times.
It’s not too late for you to love me.
No it’s not too late for you to try.
It’s not to late ‘cause we never said goodbye.

Happy

Everybody’s gotta find their way,
and it hurts me to hear you say that I am the one you gotta get away from.
I never wanna see you cry but I know I put tear drops in your eyes,
but you gotta know that it wasn’t just me bringing us down baby.
One day soon you will find her.
The rising sun it will set behind her.
And she will love you good,
give you all that I never could
and you will be happy.
Yeah I know I probably hurt you bad
singing out you’re the best I ever had,
but how’s I to know where this road would lead me,
who I’d meet and where it’d take me.
How was I supposed to see?
But one day soon you will find her.
The rising sun it will set behind her.
And she will love you good,
give you all that I never could
and you will be, I hope you’ll be happy.
One day soon you will find her.
The rising sun it will set behind her.
And she will love you good,
give you all that I never could
and you will be, I hope that you’ll be so happy.
