Headlock 03:39
Pull me close dear I had a nightmare And you're so good at chasing off my fears Just hold me for awhile and I swear I'll be alright Cuz it's nothing but a dream when you're near Yeah you got me in a headlock and that's okay It's okay now but don't let go Don't let go Watch the sunrise reminds me of your eyes The way the color changes in the light The days I passed my time wishing you were mine They never felt wasted because you're oh so worth it Yeah you got me in a headlock and that's okay It's okay now but don't let go Don't let go (You got me) And all the days from then up until now Never felt right cuz you were never in them And all my time from now on will be okay Just don't let go Don't let go (Oh you got me in a headlock)

Don't mind me or my staring I just can't take my eyes off you that's all Your smile so cool and killing Don't mind me I'm just smitten that's all Cuz it's the look that you, oh you gave me If it could kill I swear I'd die in your eyes Cuz it's the look that you gave me That makes me fall for you all over, all over again And don't mind me, I'm recovering I can't help it oh what you do to me Impatient cuz all these miles They just make me want you so much more Cuz it's the look that you, oh you gave me If it could kill I swear I'd die in your eyes Cuz it's the look that you gave me That makes me fall in love all over, all over again Don't mind me at all And these days can't go quick enough And this month moves slowly Can't help but stare your way Got me in a headlock now anyway Can't wait to hold you close When I do I won't let you get away (Don't mind me here)

Davey Jones 01:47
Oh Davey Jones I know Where you're coming from I say I know You got your heart all broken up again So you say "I had enough (I had enough) Of all this stuff called love" You say "I wish I felt nothing at all" So you took your heart and you put it in a box Threw it into the sea, hid the key to the lock you said "I ain't ever gonna love again" Davey Jones I know Where you're coming from I say I know You got your little heart all broke again So you say "I had enough (I had enough) Of all this shit called love" You say "I wish I felt nothing at all" You took your heart and you put it in a box Threw it into the sea, hid the key to the lock you said "I ain't ever gonna love again Yeah that bitch who broke my heart really did it Put the nail in the coffin I made my decision You ain't gonna break my heart again" No you ain't gonna break my heart again

November 05:49
Your clothes on my floor Your skin on my skin Words whispered eye locked to eye Tangled, intertwined Don't remind me of the rooms in candlelight Don't remind me how we fit, your hand in mine Don't remind me how these nights won't last for long And by the morning's light of dawn, November you'll be gone Lock the door, ignore the day Lost among the sheets where we lay Your fingers slip from my grasp Like sand through an hourglass Don't remind me that it all ain't permanent Don't remind me that the words you said, you meant Or how I'd give all that I own to halt the sun For by the morning's light of dawn, November you'll be gone Don't remind me that you'll go Three more words before you leave Go on, say them back to me Please Don't remind me of the nights in candlelight Don't remind me how we fit, your lips to mine Don't remind me how you'll go, won't stay Won't let me come with, I would Don't leave me here without you

Move On 04:03
One more day down Clocks out, goes home Comes back to an empty house And falls asleep alone And he thinks of her And the parting words he chose Sheds one last tear One more for the road One more before I go He keeps his words inside Hides her picture away Can't move on with eyes behind Can't take eyes away And he thinks of her And the parting words he chose Sheds one last tear One more for the road One more before I go

about

After tearing a ligament in my thumb and getting misdiagnosed a couple times I was left unable to play my guitar, and thus unable to write, record, or perform any of my own music for two years straight. This album consists of several songs that were left either unfinished or unrecorded prior to the injury, songs that I felt deserved to see the light of day. (Plus a song I recorded with a producer in a studio a long time ago) They're not perfect, but they're alright. I'll flesh them out more as time goes on. In the meantime, consider this a celebration of me finally getting back to doing what I love. I dedicate this album to my radial collateral ligament - I never realized how much you meant to me until you were gone. (p.s. I am by no means a master sound tech and I humbly admit this all sounds 10x better through headphones. Just a heads up.)
