"Wish You Were Here"

would you stay for one night?
if i didn't come home?
the end of a big fight
doesn't matter anymore
the point in my midlife
situation stands
but hours pass like years
wish you were here
wish you were here
did i open an old wound?
is there something i should know?
if it's all ending so soon
how could i possibly let go?
comes to a head, this is high noon
the finale we have planned
but hours pass like years
i wish you were here
say the words so slow
say it without fear
you won't turn to go
you won't leave me here
the past is all we know
the memories are clear
i wish you were here
if i told you, were you listening?
did you know this from the start?
do the dates match exactly?
your plan when we would part?
if i won't wait for another year
i guess you'll break my heart
it's true
you already knew
so take this as a souvenir
remember me, i'm waiting here
disappointed, hanging on
stayed behind while you moved on

"Campfire Kansas"

woke up at eight, started a fire
had a few drinks, we all felt inspired
jumped in the stream, our shoes and canteens
the water is bitter cold
laid in the raft till it started moving
the current just sang, the song was so soothing
we stopped along the way
on a beach in the sun on a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
by noon we had swung the ropes in the woods
missed all dangers, snakes and the floods
burned by the rays and next to our legs, the water so bitter cold
lunch had been saved along with the lighters
wet cigarettes serve us as reminders
never trust a man with food, change of clothes, and a drink in his hand
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
we'd laugh away the sunburn
as we laughed away his day
what we lost means nothing
for the memories will stay
caught the last bus, with no time to linger
driver seemed to be missing a finger
i turned and looked away to the bus, gravel road and a beautiful day
our boats collide, we feel the breeze
we stay afloat and make the most of everything
the sun will set, the stars would shine
the trees would shake, we'd all feel fine
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone
let's take the moon and make it shine for everyone

"The Worst Idea"

i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
keep following anyone
who digs a deeper hole
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
my money, it changes how we used to value most
so over the short ascent that comes at any cost
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
didn't we build this together?
the worst just go wrong
the worst just go wrong
on and on
how do you win so many enemies?
i'm open to any good news
what if the world falls in?
on the only option we knew
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
didn't we build this together?
the worst just go wrong
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
my money, it changes how we used to value most
so over the short ascent that comes at any cost
sing me a tune
wasn't this bond built forever?
the anchor that strong
the anchor that strong
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll
(way too long)
i'll go with the worst idea
if everyone takes the toll

"Hannah Hold On"

I never asked to be sorry
If its over its over for sure
I don't regret that I didn't want to
Remember what all this was for

So this is all we can do
What news is in store
How come starting over

Would be frowned on anymore

Hannah hold on
Hannah hold on
Its all been said
Its all been done

I never witnessed bitter like this
I think I've been shot in cold blood
You won't admit it and I won't be around

Just so I hear the applause

This isn't all we can do
When in doubt should move on
No need to sort it all out
By the time you read this I'll be gone

Hannah hold on
Hannah hold on
Its all been said
Its all been done

Hang on

You only disappoint the ones who don't believe

Hannah hold on

I never asked to be sorry
If its over its over for sure

"Man Of Conviction"

God blessed here's a man of conviction
With evidence enough to convict him
So he stands by the side of the victim
Has strength enough to forgive him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending

Sinner and saint for defending

The bastard by him that is breathing
Throws salt in the wounds of the needy
The blood from the cut that is seething
He gasps for the air we are breathing
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Means justified by the ending
Sinner and saint for defending

Our hero is gone

God blessed here's a man of conviction
With evidence enough to convict him
So he stands by the side of the victim
Has strength enough to forgive him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
The means justified by the ending
Sinner and saint for defending
The bastard by him that is breathing
Throws salt in the wounds of the needy
And he blood from the cut that is seething
He gasps for the air we are breathing
Hopefully nobody saw him
Hopefully nobody saw him
Means justified by the ending
Sinner and saint for defending
