Thinking About You

I’ve been thinking about you
Been thinking about you x2
And the places that I used to know
The places that I used to roam
Seem a little less fun
Since I’ve been gone
And the way that people speak to me
Has gotten to reminding me
Of the reasons that I left
The things that I regret but
Even if it hurts sometimes
To walk uneven paths
I’m grateful for this voyage
Cause no journey ever lasts and
I’ve been thinking about you
Been thinking about you x2
And if all of my troubles
And the hardships I’ve been through
Made me a better person
By the time that I met you
Then I’ll know it has been worth it
I’d relive it every day
All the good times and the bad times
Mean now that I can say
I’ve been thinking about you
Been thinking about you x2
And I’ve been waiting, waiting
For so long. So long.
I’ve been waiting, waiting
For so long. So long.
I’ve been waiting for so long
So long.
Been Waiting, waiting
For so long.
And I miss you.
Should I write it in a letter?
No, an email; that sounds better, yeah.
Cause I miss you.
And before you start to worry
Hear this song and know
That I’ll be home soon.

Kerosene

Tell me that you hate me
And tell me to get gone
The wreckage is the proof that
I’ve been here too long
Cause I work, work, work
And I roam, roam, roam
And I’ve got no place to
Call my own.
I’m a raging fire.
My heart’s kerosine
When I’m up in smoke
Then at least I know I’m seen.
So cough me out of your lungs
Curse that I was here
You ain’t sad to see me leave
But I’ll make you shed a tear
And as I lay me
Down to sleep
Beside a man
Who cannot see that
If he drinks the poison
He’s gonna get gone fast
And partying with me
Means that body will not last
Cause I work, work, work
And I roam, roam, roam
And I’ve got no place to
call my own
I’m a raging fire
My heart’s kerosine
And when I’m up in smoke
Then at least I know I’m seen.
So tell me about your troubles
And the nights that you regret
About a pretty hippie
That your family won’t respect
She never wants to marry
And she’ll never settle down
If you give her a rock
Then she’s gonna go skip town.
And a rolling stone
Gathers no moss
And it gets that way
Because it has been tossed
And if I ever hurt you
And if I’m ever mean
Just remember my heart
It burns like kerosine

The Place Where We Used To Live
Capo 5th fret
G and strumming pattern
Every day I wake up
To find you alone
Sitting around in the kitchen
With your face stuck
In your phone
What’s so important bout the news today
What’d they tell you?
Who’d we bomb?
Every day I abhor you.
And I miss you.
Please come home.
Home to the place where we used to live.
Home to the way that we used to live.
I miss the days where we used to live in smiles.
It’s been a while.
I don’t care where we go.
As long as it’s not alone.
Do you remember when we held hands
As we walked home from the mall?
I wouldn’t trade away the times we cried
When we picked up your mom’s call.
All those days seem long ago.
This world’s changed and it shows.
So let’s go
Back to the place where we used to live
Back to the way that we used to live
I miss the days where we used to live in smiles.
It’s been a while.
I don’t care where we go
As long as it’s not alone.
Do you remember for the first time
When I told you I’m with child?
You threw your hairy arms around me
And we worried through our smiles.
All those days seem long ago.
We’ve both changed and it shows.
We can’t go
Back to the place where we used to live
Back to the way that we used to live
I miss the days where we used to live in smiles.
(bridge)
Every night I go
Back to the place where we used to live
Back to the way that we used to live
I see your face and the way that you would smile.
I think we both know
It’s time for me too go.

Alive

I may hit the ground but at least I’m running
And when I bleed it proves my flow
I ain’t won a race but I always cross the line
I get knocked down but it’s my pedal hitting the floor
And I’m only beginning my hot blooded ride
All my wounds and my faults I will take them in stride
I am not giving up
I’ll do more than survive
And when I leave this world they will say
I was alive
I don’t see the smoke but I’m on fire
And as I rise people try to put me out
My tongue’s a match about to strike a spark
My thoughts are a blaze
They catch in the crowd
And I’m only beginning my hot blooded ride
All my wounds and my faults I will take them in stride
I am not giving up
I’ll do more than survive
And when I leave this world they will say
I was alive
And I’m not going back out the way that I came
I’ve grown too much to fit inside your frame
And I’ve lost many battles but look what I’ve gained
I am strong and resilient; time echoes my name
And I’m only beginning my hot blooded ride
All my wounds and my faults I will take them in stride
I am not giving up
I’ll do more than survive
And when I leave this world they will say
I was alive
Alive
I am alive
