Timeless

I’m never leaving the present moment - how could I?
But if the Timeless Spirit cuts through this,
We knew this did not require fight
After all I’ve heard, I think I’m flying like a bird
Yet I’m a person
So I’ll treat you like a person
And maybe I was scared, or slightly feeling unprepared should I lose this
We’ll get through this stronger than
<before> I had a hue, I was grey and un-amused by grass growing
We’re still mowing it back to where it was
And say I’m okay, ‘cause today’s not a phase,
It’s a moment; a process; a reality
Too often overlooked,
At least by me
Don’t worry, I won’t be swayed so easily
I’ll tell my folks these roots run deep
Through hills that are steep

"Then I'll Be Happy"

It might as well have been the best wrench that you lent me to use, brother
Back when trying was a sin, and even then ignorance excused abuse
But hounds loose
If this mirror isn’t warped, I see a beautiful potato
Buckle up, we’ve got an hour to Mankato
I’d stand outside your door another ten hours more
Just to say “practice what you preach”
Love doesn’t have to be a chore
But close your eyes, keep them shut, and really look at me
It’s so easy to keep count when it’s a few
Say adieu, I keep on leaving home in search of home
I haven’t tried this hard for this long in so long
Bro, these steps turn my dreams into reality
So keep that underneath your belt
I spelt it out en route
D-O-U-B-T
Quote: “then I’ll be happy”
It’s so easy to keep count when it’s a few
Say adieu, I keep on leaving home in search of home
[Forget the fun, I had said]
It’s so easy to keep count when it’s a few
Say adieu, I keep on leaving home in search of home

You asked me if I meant it
And I said I did - well, I did
And we’re known as kids, some might say
And I wouldn’t have this any other way
Might ask you to stay another day
Some things pass, but some things last
And I’m here - I’m where I wanna be at last

Touchy Feelies

I’m gonna sing this feeling away
‘Cause I don’t know how else to say
This has been a strange couple days
But not even close to a haze
And no, it will not go away.
It made a difference to me anyway.
Wondering how this will play.
Cause this has been a strange couple days.
To the park with my guitar in my hands
Resuscitated to a different land
Shouldn’t take long to understand.
K, here’s how I stand:
You gave me touchy feelies
And I started to know they’re real.
Keep me alive, prolong this drive
From me, baby you could steal.
Sounds kinda stupid now,
‘Cause you probably didn’t feel that feel
But, for me it’s real.
This brews up all my secrets
I’ll snooze so I can keep it
Consider outcomes I don’t hope
I didn’t know
And say I sing this feeling away
The feeling of trying to say
This’s been a strange couple days
It’s not even close to a haze
And no, it will not go away
It made a difference to me anyway
Wondering how this will play
Because this’s been a strange couple days
You gave me touchy feelies
And I started to know they’re real.
Keep me alive, prolong this drive
From me, baby you could steal.
Sounds kinda stupid now,
‘Cause you probably didn’t feel that feel
But, for me it’s real.

I’ll take the road less travelled, it has a better view
Oh look, there’s you
And this is real
Since it is true, how do I feel so right and so alive?
I’m not worried on my appetite
Well call me, would you?
Won’t say “how could you”
And I’m all: how could I ask you to be crazy for me too?
When this worry is my biggest adversary
Hope my load’s not hard to carry
But we’re strong
Keep us from all wrong
It’s the weighing of the song
And saying I belong right here, or with my arms around you tight
Some shit keeps me up at night, but here we are
We have come real far
Even if all fails, well you raised the bar
He kept his dreams by his side
He knew where he was going, his mind was flowing
My mind is a library
Wrote a couple books then went outside so I could learn to read
I’ll be the trash outside your house
I’ll be a speck on the edge of your blouse
I’ll be the dirt beneath your feet
Or I’ll be an ornament on your tree
What’s in the box? It has a lock
I had a key… It was in the box…
What is a friend if they’re pretend?
It’s not too late to start again
Well, I couldn’t see well enough to let myself not take this too seriously
It came about with less of a shout,
More of a “why I live without”
But if they’re dumb, I bite my thumb
I’ll find a way that I can say:
“Hey. That’s far from okay”
I’ll be the trash outside your house
I’ll be a speck on the edge of your blouse
I’ll be the dirt beneath your feet
Or I’ll be an ornament on your tree
Could be your friend, that’s it, no more
But I’ve always hoped more’s in store
While I sit here evading your door

What a beautiful day to sleep on the floor with my back straight
What a beautiful way to say that I miss you
You’ve been sleeping around,
But I don’t mind, I’ve got my heart sound
What a beautiful way to say that I love you
What a beautiful day to sleep on the floor with my back straight
What a beautiful way to say that I miss you
Woah, hey.
Yeah, ohh.

I’m surprised by your eyes
Flashing headlights make you rise
Somebody sat on the side of the road, may feel blue
Never distract me from you

Set Apart

Son, I don’t wanna go to a party
And I just ask you don’t dilute yourself
And son, before your glass of Bacardi,
Hold who’s true and take them off the shelf
‘Cause I’ve been lost for a couple of days
So stay kind, at least in the best of ways
All my friends have a heart, it’s an art
Son, I’m ready to sit at the table
Bear with me if able
And hun, this dinner tastes kindof saucy
We should see Flossy Naucy ;)
But every time I look around the corner,
I see a brand-spankin-dazzlin start
To be set apart
Like all my friends
And all my friends
