The Sun and the Shadows

My favorite part of me’s moved on
I thought we’d have more days in the sun
One year here, the next day gone
I thought we’d have more days in the sun
So let me try again, try to win your heart
I didn’t know that I’d lost it, it’s my favorite work of art
Let me hold your hand, this place that I’ve called home
Where can I rest now? Return to the unknown
My favorite part of me’s moved on
Now I can’t sleep and I can’t run
I’ve no demons left I can confront
So I lie in bed just feeling numb
All the plans I’d made have come undone
Where did your love go? I didn’t see that it left
I was caught up counting seconds with my head laid on your chest
Cause when you’d sing to me, I’d never felt so safe
Cause all I’d ever wanted I could find in your embrace
I thought we had more days in the sun

The King of Rejection

One day, someday far away
You will, miss my presence
On the inside, where I do my best work
On the inside, you will miss me
How could you trade me in for Ferdinand?
I swear that he will never take you where you long to go
And you will always regret dumping me on the streets of Milwaukee
When I belong here in the bright lights
Seventeen reasons I gave you that night
Because I am the king of rejection
Try to remember October of 73
That’s when you still loved me
I’m still that man, and we still can take on the world to win it all
But you’ve fallen for someone else
But one day, someday far away
You will, miss my presence
On the inside, where I do my best work
On the inside, you will miss me

Now let me begin, say what I’ve felt and what I’m feeling, oh hey love
I turned you into my god, I couldn’t hold back, I couldn’t hold it in
I wanted you right here, I wanted you right now
But you just disappear, it makes me want you more
I want you more, I want you more
I want you more, I want you more
I need you now, my hearts unfurled
I look at you, I see my world
Don’t tell me that you want me to let go
I wanna hold you in my arms tight, tight
It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night
As long as I can feel, well I will still believe it’s real
Because my love, it has no limits and my heart still has you in it
Can’t you read my eyes? Can’t you see I’m crying?
Yes I’ll say I’m fine, yes my dear I’ll lie to you
What did you want me to say?
“Hey you, I want to own your heart!
I’m lying down in bed crying over you at night!”
I guess I should have known it wouldn’t matter in the end
Cause you can see that I’m so lost but still refuse to take my hand
I always thought you’d make me happy but I’m still here all alone
I am beaten, broken, bleeding, but I still just can’t let go
I wanted you right here, I wanted you right now
But you just disappear, it makes me want you more
I want you more, I want you more
I want you more, I want you more, I want you more

The Phases of the Moon

Doot doo doo doo, Doot doo doo doo
Forgiveness it comes, forgiveness it goes
Just where it goes, nobody knows
It’s like the moon, waxes and wanes
It’s always changing, never stays the same
So love, love is hard, love is life, and it’s pain
Love is breath, you’re my breath, and I can’t breathe
Doot doo doo doo, Doot doo doo doo
No one could fault you for leaving, it’s heavy to hold onto grieving
"Let it go", I wish that I could choose to just be happy
It’s not your fault, say it loudly, you still have worth, feel it proudly
I don’t know, sometimes it’s hard to feel like I belong here
I’ll try to stand and hold these walls as they fall down
Here I stand, foolish man, here I stand
Doot doo doo doo, Doot doo doo doo
Forgiveness it comes, forgiveness it goes
Just where it goes, nobody knows
It’s like the moon, waxes and wanes
It’s always changing, never stays the same
So love, love is hard, love is life, and its pain
Love is breath, you’re my breath, and I can’t breathe
Love is breath, you’re my breath, and I can’t breathe
