Blue jangling, living for today
Blue jangling, going far away
Blue jangling, no more songs to play
Blue jangling, nothing more to say
It wasn’t time yet, to go, she was stalling,
and dismissed me with a wave of her hand.
Summer breeze, i hear her calling,
but I’m by the water playin in the sand.
Sunshine, pretty words,
everything exactly as it should be.
Shades on, eyes closed,
possibly i simply don’t wanna see.
It’s ok. I shoulda told you,
but I never have the answers i need.
(Chorus)
There was a moment of doubt. i was falling.
Have you ever really died in a dream?
It’s ok. I shoulda warned you.
Things are often not what they seem.
Hard lesson to learn,
something really no one can teach.
Pretty words, maybe i love her?
But why is everything out of reach?
(Chorus)

I remember the old days
bitter sweetly, in many ways.
Things are different,
but nothing’s changed.
Nothing lost, nothing gained.
Glass of Irish on the rocks,
caressing my guitar,
unconsciously i light another smoke.
Seems like only yesterday,
has it really been so long?
God damn,
I wish that you were here.
There’s no fun to be had.
All the music is very sad.
Time passes so slow.
I’ve been a fool,
but now i know.
Another candid photograph,
a careless moment caught.
Be glad that you don’t know
what i just thought.
Likely at my best
when i am sitting here alone,
but, damn,
I wish that you were here.
Another candid photograph,
another lonely song.
The lens always exposes what is wrong.
Likely at my best,
but I’m so tired of being alone.
God damn,
I wish that you were here.

Too Cool for School

Used to think i was cool, back then.
Way too cool for school, back then.
Then I went and got me a brand new friend.
Never be nobody’s fool again.
Door swings wide, and you walk through.
Wasn’t not a damn thing i could do.
‘Course you had to stab me straight through the heart.
Nobody’s fool, but you.

Roses and Bear Traps

There are moments you realize just where you’ve been
And you cannot believe where you’ve gone
It’s at times just like this, when you are all alone,
That the blood in your veins turns to stone
It’s been roses and bear traps, blessings and thieves,
hanging high from the horns of the bull.
In the past we look ahead, yearning for peace,
hoping for a future like before.
We break it down, we break it down.
We break it down and start over again.
We’re all victims of circumstance, at the mercy of fate,
and we wish that our heroes could be real.
There is misery in paradise, ecstacy in hell,
and we all play the cards that they deal.
We break it down, we break it down.
We break it down and start over again
