Track Name: Roundabout
Verse 1:
I miss the bright lights of the city
I miss the vibrance of her wealth
With only a lamp to keep me company
Oh baby please take me home

Chorus:
Well I don’t know quite how to leave this place
But I feel some magnetic pull
So drive me up my Mason Hill
And into my Columbian District

Verse 2:
I miss the cherries blossoming in spring
And finding that perfect parking spot
Driving around at 3 am
Whoa reminiscing about the past
Track Name: Backbeat
Verse 1:
When he asks me what makes me tick
I told him it’s not a clock
It’s not my hopes
It’s not my dreams
It’s not my family
It’s not my friends
Well it’s the backbeat of my favorite song

Chorus:
And I simply won’t be held responsible
For love’s gone and lost
I won’t bear this weight on my shoulder any longer
Watch me walk out that door one last time just for effect
And read your Art of Seduction* a bit more carefully

Verse 2:
When you give me the silent treatment
I only have to laugh (hahaha)
Why wait for you to speak when my life is full of noise?
You’re not worth my precious time
I’ve got a horse
I’ve got a band
I’ve got a life

Bridge:
Chopsticks on the piano at 3 am
You finally tried to understand
What makes me tick inside
The musical clock inside my head my head my head

*The Art of Seduction is a book written about how to seduce women.
Track Name: Faded Image
Verse 1:
Life comes at you pretty hard sometimes
So make room for the pain
I’m just so sorry that you have to
Go through this alone
Well I know you’ve family and I know you’ve friends
And I know you’ve got plenty of doctors
But from that look in your eye well you just might as well
Be in Antarctica

Chorus:
You stood there all skin and bones
In the parking lot
What you said it was a long time coming
I heard your words before you spoke
Packed your things well you headed out
Had not the strength to lift your bags
You arrived with health and hope
And you left a fading image

Verse 2:
I wrote this song to simply let you know
That I think of you every day
And while I’m not good with words I’m simply magic with chords
So I speak to you through this song

Bridge:
So stop all your lies and your manipulations
You’ve got to fight with all you’ve got
When you wonder if this fight is worth fighting
Just listen to this song
