Edge of Despair (The 2:00 AM Song)

Young and full of venom

Love is a dream that keeps waking me up

Is it the ultimate life experience

Or just a nightmare that keeps me imprisoned


Young and full of venom

Love is a dream that keeps making me high

Is it the best life has to offer

Or just a kidnapper of my heart and soul


Young and full of venom

Love is a dream that keeps me shackled

even though I keep trying to set myself free

I find...

Country Lovin’

While I strum this here guitar, I’ve been dreamin’ of your face and the last time I saw your funny smile.


You were perfect, you were mine, now I regret the time and space we’ve spent apart - it’s been a long while.


Don’t know why I never took the hint — I just didn’t have a clue,

But you gave me every chance to man-up and stake my claim.

Deep down I couldn’t believe I deserved someone like you...

Romance In The air

Could I fall in love with you tonight

Can I wash away all your tears

Please let me stay by your side

And keep you safe from fear


My lonlieness has issues

But with each other we can grow stronger

A comforting feeling of falling in love tonight

Feels just a little warmer


Falling in love ain’t easy

It’s the hardest thing to do

Being genuinely yourself

And not acting like a fool


We hear...

Your Smile

Oh, yes its true

Oh, yes its true

I love you and there’s nothing that I can do

When I see your face upon me

And I see that certain smile

Just to get a little kiss

I’d walk 100 miles

Oh yes, it’s true

Oh yes, it’s true

I love you and there’s nothing that I can do...

Touch Me In A Hundred Ways

Don’t hide it, dear, I’m yours to kiss.

I’ve never liked it here, these tears you’ll miss.

I want to change, but you know I can’t.

Want me to hide my fears? I’ve got a long fucking list.


Maybe you can change the rhyme, just cut my throat, don’t clean the knife.

Maybe I am just a bitch, I’m here to hold, I’m here to hit.

Maybe you can’t handle this! Maybe you’re the fool! Maybe you’re the dick!

What Is Love?

What it love

I really don’t know

And maybe that’s why

I don’t always let it show


I’m a hopeless romantic

But I would never believe

That something as magical as that

Would ever happen to me


Days turn to months

And I’m left wondering

What it love

In all its entirety


I’ve experienced it sure,

I love my family,

My mother

But the other kind of love


The one that acts as gravity

The one that is a l...

Purpose

Songs are poetry put to music

And stars are dreams set on fire

Rain is kisses from the clouds

And diamonds have to come from the rough


You can’t have green or purple

without a little help

You can’t have love

without a purpose


Dance accompanies a beating heart

Art comes with a meaning

Grass won’t grow without water

And you won’t love others till you love yourself


The moon is a hug hung in the...

To The Tune Of Golden Slumbers

Once upon a time

I wished to find you


Once upon a time

I could describe you


You’re the darling meant for me

And I’m the darling meant for you


When you know just who you are

You can find your counterpart


You’re the darling meant for me

And I’m the darling meant for you...

exposure

I want to drive you to the water,

and only see the blue in your eyes.

I want to nap in your arms,

naked in the sunlight.


I want to share your hotel bed

and shower together

sing loudly with laughter

and take too long to leave for dinner


I want to kiss you in the open,

the breeze cool against our cheeks,

and while I used to hate the wind,

I’ll welcome the change it brings.

Maybe I’m Crazy

Maybe I’m crazy, but for more than a moment I imagined we could be together

Maybe I’m crazy, but I imagined just being by your side forever

Maybe I’m crazy, but there are countless times I imagined running to you through stormy weather

Maybe I’m crazy, but I’ve already imagined giving you this in a handmade letter



And maybe I’m crazy, but everyone’s crazy, is it bad that my crazy means crazy for...
