“A Speck of Dust”
My stomach and my heart
Painful and useless
The moment you
Enter the room
I hate to discard them
As they fall to the floor
Swept up as in
The path of a broom
I'm just a speck of dust
Floating away
Being brought back to earth
On a rainy day
In the sunlight I shine
Just like a star
As the westerly winds
Take me to where you are
Da da dum da da da
Dum da da da
No matter how hard I try
To stay in control
Knowing that
You soon might appear
I can't help myself
As my brain flies away
Only you
Can catch it I fear
I'm just a speck of dust
Floating away
Being brought back to earth
On a rainy day
In the sunlight I shine
Just like a star
As the westerly winds
Take me to where you are
Da da dum da da da
Dum da da da
Da da dum da da da
Dum da da da
Da da dum da da dum
It's a new, it's a new
Frontier for me
I'm truncated, you're expanded
I'm overstated, you're even handed
I'm impatient, you're understanding
I'm a penny and you're ten granded
Uncharted,
Uncharted territory
I'm quartz, you're a diamond
I'm prose and you're rhyming
I missed the cut, you got timing
I'm on the ground and you’re climbing
I'm just a... speck of dust
Floating away
Being brought back to earth
On a rainy day
You're in charge of the weather
Whether you like it or not
And you get to say whether
It's cold or it's hot
Da da dum da da da

“So Far From Oregon”
Here I am on a rainy night
In New York City
It's cold outside
And it's cold in here too
Ran to and from
The restaurant
Thinking about
All the things I want
And how the hell am
I gonna get back to you
I’m so far, so far,
So far from Oregon
I'm trying to remember
All the words
I wrote down for you
In my last e-mail
Yeah, I don’t think
I’ve even sent it yet
I know where it is that I belong
Back with you in Oregon
Damn that rain's got
My I-Pad soaking wet
I’m so far, so far,
So far from Oregon
So far, so far,
So far from Oregon
There's a place
Where I have to be
And a place
Where I want to be
But they're so far, so far apart
I feel like two different people
Living in two different worlds
That sort of helps me
Remember you
Barefoot in your
Burgundy dress
On that beach and I know
You know the rest
When am I gonna
Get back home to you
I’m so far, so far,
So far from Oregon
I’m so far, so far,
I’m so far, so far,
From Oregon
So far
Here I am on a rainy night
In New York City

“KING OF THE WORLD”
I work from nine to five
Down at the place where I work
Nobody ever even notices me
When I walk in and out the door
I feel invisible
To the whole of the universe
With everything I say
And everything I do
But, when I come home to you
The greatest thing I ever do
Is loving you
And I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
Wasn't smart in school, wasn't cool,
Wasn't really going nowhere
I'm never gonna be rich and the world
Ain't gonna miss me when I'm gone
You know there are people
In my own family
Who could care less
If I died today from the flu
But, when I come home to you
The greatest thing I’ll ever do
Is loving you
And I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
Feel like the king of the world
Nobody's ever gonna consult me
On how to solve problems in the world
I'm insignificant in every way
That you can think of
To most everybody
All I am is just
Somebody else
That they can screw
Yeah, but when I come home to you
It’s like drinkin’ all the morning dew
The greatest thing I'll ever do
Is loving you
And I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
The greatest thing I'll ever do
Is loving you
I feel like the king of the world
Lovin' you
I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king
I'm wearin' a big old crown
Feel like the king of the world
Yeah, yeah

"Dance With Me"
Some days I know
You regret having met
The one who's upsetting you
Forgetting you, not letting you
Get a word in at all
But at the end of the day
All I ask is
Why don’t you dance with me
This song lasts as long as we dance
Together so why don’t we, why don’t you
Stay with me until we run out of it
Time to dance now so why don't you,
Why don't we dance
I can't imagine how you feel
When I know it's so hard to deal
But you've got a feel for me
And you're real with me,
And you need to be here with me
When I’m off in another world
But at the end of the day, all I ask is
Why don’t you dance with me
This song lasts as long as we dance
Together so why don’t we, why don’t you
Stay with me until we run out of it
Time to dance now so why don't you,
Why don't we dance
Why don’t you dance with me
This song lasts as long as we dance
Together so why don’t we,
Why don’t we dance
Some days I know

“Please”
I’ve done something really bad
And I know you’re really mad
And I know you’re really hurt
And I know I’m such a jerk
I know sorry ain’t so hot
But it’s the only thing I got
See, I can’t change the past
But there’s something I gotta ask
Please, please, please
Come back to me
I'm gonna fight and scream
And drop down to my knees
Gonna pout and shout
Till you come back to my house
Gonna flirt, coerce
Or maybe something worse
Smack my own self
And maybe burn in hell
I will stand the pain
Run me over with a train
But please, please, please
Come back to me
It’s hard for you to forgive
And it’s hard for me to live
Knowing what I’ve done
Just for a little fun
I know you’ve lost your faith
And you harbor all this hate
I’ll do anything on earth if ya let me
Prove how much you’re worth
Yeah please, please, please
Come back to me
I'm gonna fight and scream
And drop down to my knees
Gonna pout and shout
Till you come back to my house

Or maybe something worse

Run me over with a train

“INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES”
I don’t get to see you

You’re preoccupied with
All that bullshit you do
I don’t know if you realize what
It’s doing to me, to you, to us
But it’s wearing me out
Wearin' me out

Willing to take the rap for this
But I’m innocent of all charges
Every day is like a penalty
I’m feeling incarcerated
Berated and I hate it

Walking out on you

“THE DANCER”
I was eating lunch
In the park
Across the street from your house
I saw you dancing all alone
In your garden, and
Moved to get a closer look
At your private moment
I did not mean
To invade your privacy
And you danced, you danced for me
And you danced, you danced so sweet
For what seemed like forever
As unapproachable
As I thought you were
I still made plans to meet you
So many days I came to see you
Dance in your garden
With full intentions of forwarding
A message to you
Explaining my actions, my apologies
And my hesitance to confront you
And you danced, you danced for me
And you danced, you danced so sweet
For what seemed like forever
A couple of weeks went by
And I finally got the nerve
To ring your door bell
A gentle, old man answered
And was mystified by my observations
He told me of a niece he’d had
Who'd passed away over forty years now
He recalled for me the days when
She would dance in his backyard
He said she danced, she danced for me
And she danced, she danced so sweet
For what seemed like...
For what seemed like...

“THE SIMPLE LIFE”
Here I am breaking the rules
Sometimes I feel, I feel so confused
Like a Jack Mackerel with no fin
Can’t give up now, I’m overdue
I’ve got my ship but I’ve got no crew
Cause I stretched myself so thin
I’m gonna fix
Everything that I’ve broken
All I need
Is just a little more time
Hiding from the simple life
Hiding from the simple life
Got to reach the stars tonight
I’m prepared to pay the price
The sun is shining but it’s blinding my eyes
It makes me think about butterflies
No matter what they do, they don’t win
I’ve got wings but I can’t fly
Should pay some shrink to tell me why
I put myself through all I been
I’m gonna fix
Everything that I’ve broken
All I need
Is just a little more time
Hiding from the simple life
