about

This is a song about trying to write a catchy song, and how I get bored with regular melodies and rhythms. So even with 4/4 time and a catchy chorus, I still find myself noodling on guitar!

lyrics

Don't be fooled
Let's ride tonight, I'm going home with you
Ear whig inside, Crawled into your head
Let's feel alive, No time to be brain dead

Why don't you look at me?
You waste your time glueing ass to seat
You sit alone, Waiting for your chance
Now is the time, So get up and dance

I don't write songs like this often
So take advantage, before I stop it

I spilled my thoughts with pen and paper
It didn't change your cold behavior

If not at the bar, then play on the ride home
Jukebox full of credits, or stream on your phone
Tonight you will listen
Tonight you will know

Seven Years
Blood, Sweat, and Tears
I've played my songs
You've drowned in beers

I still believe
I'll find the key
To win your heart
Make our souls sing

In my dreams
I play for quarters
While you sip coffee
Silent supporter

But I wonder
If it would matter
Do you want truth or
Words that flatter?
