SWU Spring 2020, Song #4

----------

Verse 1

I don’t want you gone

But it’s all you wanna’ be

Another torn-up, lonely part

Of my everyday reality

You called the stop

So I’ll go on hurting truly *//

Join the club of the all down hearts

Partners in misery

Verse 2

I didn’t think it could end

Sliding hourglass sand, you see

Even when I’d throw those darts

You’d throw ‘em right back at me

Everything then nothing

Endings always happen to me *//

Wish I’d remembered those old lonely days

Before messing with you and me

Chorus 1:

Tell me something I want to hear

So I won’t feel so alone

Anything I can grab on to

Maybe that you’re alone

That you’re so-alone :

Solo

Verse 3

Come on to the club

Of the all down hearts of misery

See those friends of mine

Hear their stories of ‘you and me’

Then maybe a coffee

Some place where we used to go *//

We’ll laugh about the old times

When we both weren’t so alone

Chorus 2:

Tell me something I want to hear

So I won’t feel so alone

Anything I can grab on to

Maybe that you’re alone

That you’re so-alone :

SWU Spring 2020, song #2 (8)

---------------

Verse 1:

Holding on tight within both of your hands

Just getting by for so long

Who knows the time or what day is it

Staying in bed can’t be wrong

Prechorus 1:

What can be said

Just keep that clear head

I’s the same news everyday

Don’t check and see

Turn off the tv

Instead

Chorus 1:

Is it enough to get you by

Wake up and try

Verse 2:

Feels like better days will come again

Everything is always change

Who can say what the other side brings

Or how this waiting will end.

Jamuary 2020 #2

-------------------------

Verse 1

It’s just too much life to handle

Just can’t think about it anymore

Everything‘s got a price; keep trying as I might

Getting my ass thrown out the door

Chorus 


Time to pay up

Verse 2

So ill just going on taking life; what I can handle

And I watch out for swinging doors

As for all the bad stuff I know it sounds like enough

I’ll keep not thinking about it anymore

Chorus 


Time to pay up

Don’t worry baby

52 week song group, Song #51

-----------------------------------------

Verse 1

I’m not really known out there for my kindness

That’s really probably why I don’t have many friends

Trying to work it out from the beginning

So I can get on down to that happy end

Verse 2

Doo-doo

Chorus

I wasn’t thinking

Purple hanging

Verse 3

A little—maybe, overly concerned with winning

But I cross that line long ago

Look around at everything that I’m doing

And all the love that I have plus so more.

Chorus

I wasn’t thinking

Purple hanging

Over me

I’m so over me

Verse 4

Now I’m really only known my kindness

Just go ask any of my friends

Stopped beating my self over false beginnings

And I’m living my everyday happy end

I wasn’t thinking.

52 Week Song Game, #50

------------------------------------

I’m gettin along

I’m fighting the world

First I’m singing a song

I’m the king of the hill

On the top of the pile

I’m just getting along

No one can kick me out

Or get me down

Hang one on. Me

Up on top of the world

I’m the the big fat check

In charge of it all

I'm the one who says I'm sorry

SWU Fall 2019, Song #3

---------------------------------

It don’t feel good enough

When the race don’t trip you up

No fall so hard

You taste the bones it your mouth

Run okay but don’t tell your mama about

Okay it was hard enough on the way.

When you get there it is no big thing

Not bowled over or anything

Don’t forget all the work you did before

It was hard enough on the way
