I'm sitting with my phone waiting for it to ring Your voice is what I want now more than anything I'm losing all my patience; it's just me and my drink I pace around the kitchen, open up the fridge once or twice This insanity distracts me from my actual life All I want is to hear you say your day was alright So call me, call me tonight Don't let me go to bed without saying goodnight Call me, call me tonight Please baby won't you, baby won't you call me tonight? Distracting actions are the only thing that keep me from Driving up the interstate and to your house so late in the night So make it easier and speak your words to me through these wires The turning hands can't convince me that it's time for some sleep I'll stay awake all night and wait until your 6 alarm rings And maybe then my heart will slow and I can finally dig in to my sheets Stars, like salt in the sky The moon, substantially bright I wanna know that we're looking at the same sky Send our voices through the air, carry 'em way high

Simpler Time 03:50
When I think back to my young years Everything feels so detached So many stories and so many memories that I am finding hard to bring on back So I need some help remembering With photo books and old magazines Pop me back like a tape cassette And let me relive my dreams So I can go back to the simpler time When life was something I could still understand And the future was mine Back before things got out of hand Faces of friends are all fading fast Like photos from the analog age They yellow and tear and I lose a few Every time I turn a new page Time doesn't stop, no it doesn't slow You can't push rewind So I keep what I can and I carry on And I leave the rest behind

Like Shit 04:08
I see you in a different light now that I know you're not alright. You were cool before I learned how you were politically aligned. Now I've got to reconstruct; I'll treat you like a stranger, soon enough. I hope someday I'm not this shallow anymore. I don't wanna be like this. I don't wanna treat you like shit. You know I watch the news sometimes, it always fails to make me feel sublime. Reading all the stuff that encourage us to choose a side. I know you might disagree, you tell me to stand by my beliefs. But do I really have to push away a human being?

Mountain 03:19
The path that lies ahead of us is steeper and less kind Than the old well traveled road that you chose to leave behind But I know that if we set out now, the things that we could find Could make it worth the effort, cause I know it’s worth the time And from way down here the mountain seems so high From the bottom you can’t see the view But even if the walk is hard I’ll try As long as I am walking next to you If the storm clouds gather, turn the sky a scary shade of grey And the cold rain soaks our clothing and puts puddles in our way I’ll find a place for you and me to huddle up and stay Until the earth is dry again, another sunny day When your feet they start to ache, And your back’s about to break, You're slipping every step you take Just reach out your hand I'll hold you up and stand you tall Make sure that you never fall Cause you know I understand

Only Fantasy 04:05
Don't you look at me like you can't see the trouble that's inside. You know that it can't be like it seems; it's simpler from outside. But I won't let you in. It's much easier to say it like I am, although it's hard to understand. I'm safe behind the music, and other cliches like that. It's hard to feel calm. Maybe I don't want this relieved It's hard enough in the way I dream The outcome is just self-perceived The conclusion is only fantasy I'm retrospecting, looking at a 12 year old who was never really free. The nice young doctor took him for a walk, convinced him that he could change anything. How don't you think? What if we all said what we were thinking? Would it be that hard? Or maybe we could all wear t-shirts spelling out our deepest deepest darks. What would yours read?
