Compilation Of You

Well I've
paced all down my troubled mind
to grasp a point of view
just to find an answer
to where I'm moving to
So taking each letter I'd ever drawn
I compiled something new
and found the pattern through all these words
its a compilation of you
yes within in these 5 lines
it's repeating all the time
until I finally find
how to leave this all behind....
So for this record, here's it all
my conclusion couldnt be more true
just sit and listen to these words
its a comilation of you
its a compilation of you
its a compilation of you....

Drawn (Back To You)

You can smile at me that way
raise my hopes with the things you say
but you aint gunna ruin my day tomorrow
Cause I've seen the pattern now
you build me up just to cut me down
and your leaving me to drown in my sorrow
But I dont have the time and I dont know what to do
Cause when I finish the case, you leave me a turning clue
and I try so hard to keep my eyes off of you
keep you out of your view
but I'm constantly drawn back to you
And I try to convey
all the perfect things to say
when you stare at me that way
so dearly
But you see right through
any incompetant thing I do
because I don't mean much to you
any way
But I cant help but stop when you walk into this place
leave me a clever remark flagging my heart to race
Only to leave me standing there to fall on my face
its such a disgrace
that I'm constantly draw back to you
So hold your fire before you shoot
I'd rather be a passing figure then to try to reconfigure while I'm dealing with this dipute
with your blue eyes, your passing by's, its hard to take the other route
sometimes I wish you could just choose a side
And I know you toy around with every other guy you know
and every one of those guys just knows how your actions grow
your just a bird who knows how to make her whole face glow
just goes to show
why I'm constantly drawn back to you
I'm so contantly drawn right back to you
why do u do the things you do
I'm so constantly drawn right back to you

Well everyday seems like we're moving right on track
but right from the back, like an attack, come along this new guy, Jack
ever since he came, it hasnt been the same
its someone through a twist into this tiny short lived screwed up game
You say your just two friends driving around
go to the beach, share memories, on the seas of this old town
yeah, you're probably with him now
exchanging eachother's moves
Nothing is as simple as it seems
you say your just two good friends but we all know what that means
you lay in bed and dream
one day you'll grow old with him
Whats wrong with me, am I having deja vu,
or did this same whole damn thing happen to me last year too
some dudes in the scene relying on booze and green
to keep his weekend stable
and it all seems right, until she hooks up with that guy
and then she's wanting all of his commitment
but she's never gunna get his commitment
because
(chorus)
And by then what I felt I had with you will fade
all our hour long flirty conversations form to hallway waves
you'll wonder how I knew so strong it'd end up this way
because its happend before too many times to simple guys like me
why cant you see that this wont last
that this wont last
and I'm sorry if this comes off as an attack towards you
its just a response to images that I see in the rear view
to sweet girls like you and what i've seen them turn into
and I'm sorry but I dont want this too happen to you
and if its been your aspiration to be one of the many few
then I wish you good luck, and I bid a dieu
just make sure you dont go and turn your back
and precious thoughts and regards to you and your precious jack.

She Was My Baby (demo)

V1.
Em
She breaks my heart when she speaks near
Em/Eb
when mostly of you
Em/D A/C#
who knew two simple syllables could tear me in two
C B7
nice to know the dog's replaced even before his youthful age grows old
Em Em/Eb
and for a catch phrase box of TV repititions
Em/D A/C#
and completely robotic sense of style
C B7
to completely see you out, only took me a small while
P.C.
C Cm
But I won't waste time upon these ways
Bm E
for i was half way threw when you stole my page
C B7
leaving me alone on this stage
Chorus:
Em
Cause she was my baby
A7
I lost her and maybe
C G G/F#
this will place you right on top
Em A7
cause when we were younger to steal things from others
C G G/F#
was something for robbers and cops
Em A7
your trophey just shines in your eyes
C G G/F#
but I know there must be somewhere inside
Em A7 C Cm
Where you cannot hide how you did not win today
Em Em/Eb Em/D A/C# C B7
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat PC)
(repeat chorus)
(Solo) : Em A7 B7 x4
Em Em/Eb Em/D A/C# C B7 x2
(repeat PC)
(chorus) - quiet for the 1st half
outro: Em A7 - x4
end on a Em Hit

Goodbye, My Love

Goodbye, my love. Goodbye now
it seems my love it's time
I wish I could hold on but that is useless
so tonight I say goodbye
For even though I know when I awake
I will once again make that foolish mistake
of letting you take right over me
day after day after day after day after day
Get out of my mind
Goodbye, my love tomorrow
to tell you, my love in advance
for though I'm well aware that these are wasted words
god, there's something weird with romance
for even though you know, I'll be right there
for any favor question, task, or prayer
you caught me once long ago and I got away
It seems I should be coming around another day
Chorus:
One more thing before I let you go, love
thanks for all these times
how these thoughts they got me by
when I sit alone and I am low
I will know there is more in store
because I had you just to wish for
I finally got this out
so don't stand in my way
There shouldnt have to be words
you have to say
why do these feelings seem to stay
there has to be a better way,
yeah there has to be a better way
(chorus)
Goodbye, My love, Goodbye now (repeat over and over)
(chorus)
Goodbye, My Love, Goodbye now
