The Ocean 02:26
I’m in over my head, in over my head, The girl’s just like the ocean, that girl’s just like the ocean She’s way out of my league, way out of my league, I’m a thousand leagues under, a thousand leagues under She said we’ll wait and see, we’ll wait by the sea The girl’s just like the ocean, and I want to know, I want to go I’m in over my head, in over my head That girl’s just like the ocean, that girl’s just like the ocean I’m over my head, in over my head I’m a thousand leagues under, a thousand leagues under I’m in over my head, in over my head That girl’s just like the ocean, that girl’s just like the ocean

I met you at 10 a.m. on a Friday You were wearing a black paisley skirt and a long face And I thought briefly, but completely about one day But I hardly remember At least that’s what I say All the ways I’ve tried, I’m getting nowhere All the roads I drive, are a bridge to nowhere Bet you didn’t even think about tryin’ To tell me to my face you were dyin’ And talk about the days you wish you could go home But by then the train had arrived All the ways I’ve tried I’m getting nowhere All the roads I drive, are a bridge to nowhere All the ways I’ve tried I’m getting nowhere All the roads I drive, are a bridge to nowhere It’s a little hard to believe on a Monday All about what you did on Sunday You borrowed my knack for wordplay And I lost my faith All the ways I’ve tried I’m getting nowhere All the roads I drive, are a bridge to nowhere

Takes a long long time Lose yourself or lose your mind I can hear your voice I thought your wayward choice Now how can I explain That I don’t feel the same Now my heart won’t make a sound The second time around Ask me I should know I don’t want to let it go You will never see When you do not believe How can I explain That I don’t feel the same Now my heart won’t make a sound The second time around Why why why won’t you put your arms around me You wear a thousand faces to see How can I explain That I don’t feel the same Now my heart won’t make a sound The second around
4.
You know you are your fathers son Go on and bear it I remember everyone The year you had him And all through the night You turned I caught you with your lovely eyes You were red handed I can read between the lines The way you planned it And all through the night You turned Oh my God, that was it We will never last Our house of cards Is falling way to fast You always were your mothers child You grew to wear it You always carry in your smile How you share it And all through the night You turned I can’t believe the way I lied I was a robber I was sittin’ by your side We went together And all through the night You turned Oh my God, that was it We will never last Our house of cards Is falling way to fast I saw you on your brothers arm Your old companion And I can feel it in my bones What you were granted And all through the night You turned Oh my God, that was it We will never last Our house of cards Is falling way to fast

Fall 01:18
It’s water, water Under the bridge I won’t remember Call me, call me I need some regret I won’t be waiting Too late, too late But I’m not so tired I could forget you I wouldn’t try Fell out of love tonight

Our Day 02:48
Hold me now, it’s gonna rain Cover me up with an old magazine On and on, an old time parade This will be our day I hear what you say Oh the wind, he ran away With the skies daughter, and all of her pain Hold me when, you’re old and grey This will be our day I hear what you say Oh the clouds, they’ll never stay They’re crying buckets and got scared away Look at the sun, look at your face This will be our day I hear what you say Was it all only a dream A little white house at the end of a stream The tambourine and villagers scream This will be our day I hear what you say This will be our day This will be our day This will be our day I hear what you say

I’ve been runnin’ around like a chicken with it’s head cut off I ain’t got no sense of time or direction And there’s so many people on this earth And I can’t seem to find myself a single connection I don’t need money or love when it comes to push or shove All I want’s a little salvation I don’t read the news no more All I need’s a traffic report Get me outta here Get me outta here Here we go it’s the middle of the road It’s the middle of the night and I’m tired Well it’s too late for a heroes fate So I might as well stop trying All the time I hear you say “Oh I’m gonna cease the day, maybe I’ll do it tomorrow” And I have a friend who calls: "man I really love that girl" She’s always drowning in her sorrow Maybe I have got it wrong, some exaggeration And I’m the one with the problem I can’t believe the things I say Oh I say them anyway Get me outta here Get me outta here Here we go it’s the middle of the road It’s the middle of the night and I’m tired Well it’s too late for a heroes fate So I might as well stop trying Well it’s the hardest thing to believe in pretty much anything Don’t take that away from, don’t take that away from me And I’ve heard it all before, It’s hiding in my dresser drawer Get me outta here Get me outta here Here we go it’s the middle of the road It’s the middle of the night and I’m tired Well it’s too late for a heroes fate So I might as well stop trying
9.
Gone away Well I’m dressed in black Gone away And you’re not coming back Heard you say “well really I must” Bet you think you’re hilarious Well you crack me up, yeah it’s just a gas It’s so funny I forgot to laugh Put me in some suitcase Fold me up, I’m hiding away Go and find some new punchline Go and find some other guy Well you crack me up, yeah it’s just a gas It’s so funny I forgot to laugh Saw you with a grin on your face Laughing at your lucky break Now I know the tricks up your sleeve You guffaw diabolically Well you crack me up, yeah it’s just a gas It’s so funny I forgot to laugh
10.
Comfort Me 03:13
You got your hands full with all those things to cover me, cover me And I keep my own good company, company Diamonds and bibles won’t comfort me, comfort me I’ll keep walking till you come for me, come for me Through the rain and the radio I hear you calling me, calling me I’m always in your good company, company I keep your troubles till they come for me, come for me You keep my worries till it comforts me, comforts me I keep your troubles till they come for me, come for me And you keep my worries till they come for me, come for me
11.
Sometimes everybody needs a break when everything is broken Oh don’t worry I’ll be fast asleep when everyone is gone Sometimes everybody’s gone Sometimes everybody wants to take, to take more than their given Oh don’t worry I’ll be on my way, when everyone is gone Sometimes everybody needs to stay when everything gets lonely Oh don’t worry I will fade away when everybody’s gone
12.
Somedays I couldn’t tell you my name Got too much in my head to think straight One day I’m gonna find you and say it all Someday you’re only living for them On the shoulder of Illinois One day I’m gonna watch you, watch you fall Someday you’re gonna show me your face All the people and all the heartache One day I’m gonna know what you’re looking for Someday you’re gonna fix me up say With some paper and with some Scotch tape One day I’m gonna be what you’re waitin’ for I only know the things I know I only know the things I know I don’t know the things I don’t know I don’t know the things I don’t know
13.
This was a stupid idea I’m going to bed early tonight Now I’m running out of time Running out of lines Running out of places to be I don’t feel fine Gonna lose my mind And I gotta lot of places to see
14.
’m going slowly Sunshine delays That’s such a nice thing Put it that way All I know Constant motion Set in stone Until I am gone 100 Miles It’s easy driving Why won’t you take me When you are smiling All I know Constant motion Set in stone Until I am gone Go give me shelter I’ll count the days I wouldn’t be here I got no place to stay All I know Constant motion Set in stone Until I am gone
15.
16.
You know where to find me You know were I’ll be A black and white movie You’ve seen it but it still looks good to see Hey Hey Hey Hey listen to me now The days are getting longer But the years are flying south And we talked in cliches About the rain and sea We are paper mache images of what we used to be Hey Hey Hey Hey that’s the way it is The days are getting shorter But the years are yours to give And you wake up a little bit older You never thought it’d be so cruel And you wake up a little bit slower When you’re halfway there you got nothing to lose Hey Hey Hey Hey look into my eyes The days are getting longer now Don’t let ‘em pass you by And you wake up a little bit older You never thought it’d be so cruel And you wake up a little bit slower When you’re halfway there you got nothing to lose I could tell a story About the golden moon You had all your glory You had it and it got the best of you Hey Hey Hey Hey you’re living in the past The days are getting longer But the years will never last And you wake up a little bit older You never thought it’d be so cruel And you wake up a little bit slower When you’re halfway there you got nothing to lose
17.
One step ahead, two behind You just can’t win You always try to get it right They never let you in And all the tears All the pain All the smiles All the gain You wouldn’t have it any other way Hearts that turn to stone And you get goin Pack up your things Another try Another chance A left footed dance And all the tears All the pain All the smiles All the gain I wouldn’t have it any other way And you you get so tired You get so tired Just to stay awake You roll the dice You never like to play it safe And all the tears All the pain All the smiles All the gain I wouldn’t have it any other way
18.
An arrow and your tragic end One hand behind you and one to defend Six hundred million dead One in your pocket and one on your neck Industry and the cotton gin Look out look out their gonna do you in You shot a hundred thousand men One hand behind and one to the lens Go on go on and sit for hours Still like a still life watercolor November 1863 The lines cut through you like a masterpiece A penny and an empty glass One hand behind and one on a flask And now you’ve settled on the years I’ll decorate you with a flag and cheers
19.
Love's Gone 02:36
Love’s gone love’s gone He tried so hard for you But that’s all, that’s all It comes and it leaves too That’s just the way it is Gentle as a summer rain Harsh as the harshest winter Last night I saw you You told him You said you would It’s alright, It’s alright It’s not for you to decide That’s just the way it is Gentle as a summer rain Harsh as the harshest winter Somewhere in the shadows You’ll think of him I know you will It’s alright, It’s alright Don’t burn your staircases That’s just the way it is Gentle as a summer rain Harsh as the harshest winter Love’s gone, Love’s gone You tried so hard for it But loves gone, love’s gone
20.
Goodnight 01:27
Go on to bed Turn out the light There’s so much left to write I hear the birds and the sleep that you fight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Shake off the dust Don’t it feel good There’s so much left to do One at a time One day at a time Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Roll up your sleeves Jump right in We’ll march on like a marching band Hold on tight, Hold on tight Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight Share your love Don’t throw away the key Watching you watching me I’ll keep you safe Oh I’ll keep you safe Goodnight Goodnight Goodnight
21.
Fraud and bribery In the streets Will knock you on your chin Measure your luck In a paper cup Fill it to the brim Oh I think too much There’s too much to think of I’ll take it as it comes Mmm look around you And all the people Looking for someone An eye for eye Makes the world go blind An eye for eye Makes the world go blind When will it end It’s never ending Watch it in the sky I’m so modern Like some museum Never gonna cry Tear it all down The walls around you You couldn’t even see Love and anger They use to be friends But now they hardly write An eye for an eye Makes the world go blind An eye for an eye Makes the world to blind Well look you and look at me We’re spinin’ to infinity In a little town where everything it happening Well look at me and look at you I wonder why the skies still blue You know that we’re just passing through An eye for an eye Makes the world go blind An eye for an eye Makes the world to blind
22.
23.
Holdin’ somebodies place Tryin’ to keep pace I dont’ show my broken bones Wear your heart in a sling But that don’t help anything I won’t show my broken bones I won’t show my broken bones I‘m in love with a ghost I never see her anymore It’s quiet here without you now All alone with yourself Lying there on the couch It’s quiet out here by the banks But not as quiet as you think When the sun turns out the light Where does everybody hide Tell me it will be alright Tomorrow always comes on time With your locks and your bolts You couldn’t keep out all the gold And you forgot about the holes Someone else that you see When you stand in front of me I can see right through you now I can see right through you now There’s nothing left in this place Trying to save face There’s nothing left in this whole town Kicking dirt with my shoes I walk alone I walk with you There’s nothing left in this whole town Cause nothing left and nothing’s all around When the sun turns out it’s light Where does everybody hide Tell me it will be alright Tomorrow always comes on time All alone on the floor Try again try once more Where did everybody go Looking up at the stars I walk alone and count the cars Where did everybody go Where did everybody go When the sun turns out the light Where does everybody hide Tell me it will be alright Tomorrow always comes on time

24 02:36
24 you got a lot of time to think it through Chop it down and pick it up until it’s you 24 you’ve still got time before you’re 25 Chop it up and pick it out until it’s alive 24 I never thought you’d come to me so soon Try a little tenderness once in a moon 24 you still have a lot a lot of things to do Keep it up mmm keep it up until there’s few 24 you’ve got a lot of time to think it through Chop it down and pick it up until it’s you 24 you still got time before you’re 25 Chop it up and pick it out until it’s alive 24 I never thought you’d come to me so soon
25.
Once upon a time like a nursery rhyme I made you smile I made you fine That only works in a nursery rhyme Twice I sang a song like a lullaby You fell for me in three quarter time That only works in a lullaby You know I’m gonna hold you when the war is done You know I’m gonna hold you when You know I’m gonna hold you when You know I’m gonna hold you when the war is done Get me there and get me back Take me home and take me fast Mmmm Three o’clock you made me kind I was so mean I was so blind At three o’clock you made me kind Fortunate for me like a happy ending point of view In the middle That only works in happy endings
26.
What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do I knew a man who lost his job His business went belly up Built the whole thing with his sweat and blood And I was there when you got the call Your face turned white I knew it all Now the whole thing fell into the ground What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do And the lady street Her husband left when she fell asleep 20 years the whole thing fell apart And on every Christmas card She sends them out “The boys and I” No one even has a clue What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do And on some days I’ve got enough I’m never gonna lose touch All I needs a little company And other times I’ve got it rough And all I want’s a little love To make it through, We’ll make it through the night What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do What am I going to do

Jacqueline 03:12
Oh you wear the pain Like a modest clean suit dress On an ordinary day Oh and papers say “It’s gone to her head” Don’t let ‘em get away Jacqueline Jacqueline Don’t listen to what they said Jacqueline Jacqueline Don’t listen to what they said Oh Where did you go You cried for a year It’s not your fault A legend He’d rather be a man Look what they’ve done I see the handwriting Jacqueline Jacqueline Don’t listen to what they said Jacqueline Jacqueline Don’t listen to what they said Majesty Majesty
I’m listening I’m listening Majesty Majesty
I’m listening I’m listening Jacqueline Jacqueline Don’t listen to what they said Jacqueline Jacqueline Don’t listen to what they said

Oh don’t hurry tomorrow won’t be long Oh don’t worry tomorrow’s never wrong Oh don’t hurry tomorrow won’t be long
29.
Youth and beauty You had it all You’re heavenly Now it wears you thin It always did You can never win My thief she came to me in the form of a juggler With every pedal and pick on metal I knew I’d love her The ease of a cool breeze blew through her finger When she put down one vessel and then picked up another Speed and quality have an inverse relationship You you got a way You always did You never pray She was clean and a little bit green for such a talented girl And I don’t think she’d yet appreciate a visit to the 3rd world Loving her was like hitting the pool and wearing my Levis And all the time I said you must be kidding this can’t be right The heat was beating down upon your chest I held my breath Some far off land You grabbed my face In the back of a cab Some might pop a bottle to deny their sorrow Other pencil it in for infinite tomorrow What you choose to do you lose out on something else But in the end you’ll find you get over yourself
30.
I knew more than I thought I knew More than I thought I could On any other day I grew more than I thought grew More than I ever could More than I stayed And I dreamt more than I thought I dreamt About the off hand compliment About your lovely face There’s so many people here I don’t know what to say them The girl of your dreams Well you woke up right next to her I sat counting the days and time Hoping for a simple rhyme Looking for a break I had more than I thought I had More than I’d ever ask More than I’d take It’s hard to believe in things like continuity and outer space I know the sky is limitless but sometimes I feel that way I loved more than I thought I loved More than I could have shown I should have any way And I knew more than I thought I knew More than I ever could On any other day

Oh my life is just hanging by a string Hanging by a string Oh Oh my days go back to where they start A simple heart felt plea I heard it all before

about

On May 8th, 2009 I finished the first song of a project where I wrote and recorded a new song everyday for 30 consecutive days. "30" is a kind of journal of one summer month in 2009. You can almost hear the sleep deprivation leap out of some of these songs. Writing with such expeditiousness forced me to explore new places with my songwriting and several of these songs have endured as some of my favorites. I hope you'll enjoy.
