Cheesecake 03:25
If we were older I would ask you out to lunch and we would talk about Boondock Saints, and share some cheesecake. I wouldn’t worry about knowing if we’d make it since we’d live next door and the walk is nothing great. But I have to be honest I wonder if we’ll see the day that This misery, this little dream someday become the real thing. You and I, living life... Proving it can be done. And I wouldn’t second guess a thing, because I’d know it was to be You plus Me It’s getting harder to sit and wait for possibilities when surety is what I’m wanting most. And I’m growing tired of drawing empty love conclusions when the never dying part has been my hope. But I have to be honest I wonder if we’ll see the day that This misery, this little dream someday become the real thing. You and I, living life... Proving it can be done. And I wouldn’t second guess a thing, because I’d know it was to be You plus Me What if we went for it, no sorrow, no sad regret? What if we find out what we want is what we get? This misery, this little dream someday become the real thing. You and I, living life... Proving it can be done. And I wouldn’t second guess a thing, because I’d know it was to be You plus Me

V1: Come on let’s clean these dirty streets, Feed the hungry, And give water to the thirsting. Let’s go we’ll meet the needs here, Make it all clear, there’s no more suffering here on Earth for them. Chorus: But if we withhold truth, what have we really done? We’ve done what we were called to do, all excluding one. We can make the world as shiny as plastic, But without works we are only painting caskets. V2: So come with me and we will help Pull Satan’s chariot back from hell, Be a servant to the world. But in the end what they need Is a savior, unlike me. I’m only make life more comfortable.

L-O-V-E 03:02
Chorus: L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E You are a mystery to me L-O-V-E, L-O-V-E You are a mystery to me V 1: Well I’m walking walking through the park And I’m stopping stopping before the dark Cause this life is only so much time. But if you are you are here with me Then the darkness darkness that I see Is only so temporary. V2: Listen to my mind Listen to my heart Both are leading me into the dark But I’ll wear a smile And a big thumbs up Because I am learning about...

Bad Guy 05:40
V1: you think so highly of me but you just wait and see your love is words that your poor heart runs from and you just had to eat from that tree V2:i told you what we are before i know my actions don't seem to agree it'll be easy to hurt you badly but i just cannot seem to mind, sadly chorus: in advance i'm sorry you should have listened to my words i’d like to say i'm dreading the end but it'll be nice to be the bad guy instead of the friend V3:there’s a place in my hands for pain and it seems like you’re headed that way. i want to care that i’ll be your downfall but that’s just not the way it will play. bridge: if two wrongs do not make a right then why put up such a fight? because in the end it's going to be brutal. i know your heart's telling you to stay but mine's saying to punch yours in the face and either way it leads to an end

I will be the change that I seek in this world, the only thing that I can change is me. I will leave the rest to God he does the best at impossible, while I change me. A mere megaphone is what I am and my purpose fits in God’s larger plan. But before I can proceed and tell the world what they must be, I must change me. There’s only so much we can do between time and space they’re limited to. So let’s each change our part of this globe and our children will have a better place to grow. A mere megaphone is what I am and my purpose fits in God’s larger plan. But before I can proceed and tell the world what they must be, I must change me.

Biting my cheek, staring at the phone Wondering if you'll call but i know you won't. Tallying the days that you've let me down This is day 5. In the beginning you liked me so well, But the last few months i don't know what you've felt. Time is corroding your interest in me, So why is mine still flourishing? You are slowly breaking me down.... Bogus talk, bogus excuse Was I something to you aside from new? All effort i could give didn't do anything And now we are through. But I held up hopes And I held up dreams But I was ever the only one fighting and you didn't care to save what you could you gave it all to me and said "do what you want". Bridge: and all your promises and compliments feel like a farce and i'm left wondering if you just played your part still here i sit, a bit broken and reduced and feeling crazy for still thinking about you and feeling crazy for still thinking about you....
