Any Kinda Bright Side

This isn’t her first heartbreak
She whispers to herself
This may be the last one I can take
How many times have I been here before
Is it really too much
To ask for just a little more
It starts off so well
How it is going to end
There’s just no way to tell
It starts off so well
If we can’t see the end
Maybe it’s just as well
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
This isn’t my first rodeo
He shouted to himself
As he walked out the door
How many times have I been here before
Is it really too much to ask for
more and more and more and more
And maybe just a little more
It starts off so well
How it’s gonna end
There’s just no way to tell
It starts off so well
And if it’s gotta end
Maybe it’s just as well
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
Maybe it’s for the better
Maybe
Not in the mood to try to find
Any kind of bright side
It’s a strange comfort to feel like
I can’t do anything right
Don’t try to cheer me up
with some silly notion
About how maybe it's for the better
When I’m feeling such emotions
It starts off so well
Is it just an
Early reservation
At the local heartbreak hotel
It starts off so well
This time I gotta believe
Things‘ll turn out
Just as well
Things are gonna get better
Maybe
Maybe
You‘ll see

Sleep my baby
Close your eyes
You can dream what you want to dream
You can even fly
And when you wake up
I will still be here
Teach you what I’ve learned of this world
And how to deal with your fear
Time to wake up now my big boy
You don’t want to be late
I know I told life can be a joy
But sometimes that has to wait
A handshake, a hug, a strong slap on the back
When did you become a man
You know it seems like only yesterday
When I was in on all your plans
I still hear you giggling every time I push a swing
The backyard was our whole world
Go out and make sure that you don’t miss a thing
There’s so much more to this world than I can show you

Sway

So worried wouldn’t walk across the room
If she said no man what I would do
Rather stand hear trying to keep cool
What’d she want with me anyway
Then something happened you wouldn’t believe
I caught that girl looking at me
Her smile took control of my feet
And we started to sway
Staring in each other eyes
I can never forget that night
It felt like forever
It still is forever
Slow dancing to the beat of our lives
We sure knew how to take our time
That don’t matter when you got forever
And we are still living forever
And when the night comes
We turn the tv off
Put away our phones
Find some time to talk
I still remember
that night we started to sway
I don't need to remember
I got forever everyday
The kitchen's clean
and the kids are asleep
So tired can barely stand on our feet
No one tells you how hard it will be
But we keep goin anyway
Days fly by so fast
It’s hard to believe
Who's this grown woman looking at me
Whatever happened to those kids kissing in the street
Back When we started to sway
Staring in each others eyes
Why don’t we do this every night
It’s easy to forget when you got forever
And We’re stuck right in the middle of forever yeah
Slow dancin to the beat of our lives
We still know how to take our time
That’s why we keep swayin together
And we just might slow down forever yeah
And when the night comes
And we leave the tv off
Put away our phones
Take you in my arms
Sway A little to the left
A little to the right
Sway into forever
Every single night
There were those times
It didn’t feel quite right
We always came back
We always come back
And when the night comes
Leave the tv off
Put away our phones
Take you in my arms
A little to the left
Sway A little to the right
Let’s sway real slow together
Night after night

Christmas Refund

It may be Christmas
But not where I live
It's something different
No thanks to covid
A family fight or two is nothing new
You know I usually return the gifts I get you
That never stopped us from
Jingling all the way
Maybe we’ll still try
A video call
This Christmas
Day
It may be Christmas
But something is missing
It may be Christmas
But something's wrong
It may be Christmas
Got you some presents
This special Christmas
Doesn't come with a refund
Every other year we visit
there and Here
In 2020
We shouldn’t travel anywhere
There was a time
we could disagree
Without our words
becoming so unfriendly
Dear Santa, keep your Christmas tree
just bring everything else
back to how it used to be
The kids are fighting like never before
There's nothing left to talk about anymore
With everyday still stuck on repeat
How can Christmas be
Like it used to be
It may be Christmas
But something is missing
We got some presents
But something is missing
It may be Christmas
But something is missing
We got some presents
But something's wrong

Move it and you lose it
So the saying goes
Was just twenty years ago
When I stepped out for a smoke
Fast forward to the copy paste
Day after day
Wish I could clear my history
But it's too late
If I could live forever
None of this would ever even seem to matter
If I could live forever
That might be enough time to make it a little better
Outta time
Waited too long and I missed my chance
Feels like I'm outta time
At least I'm not living still stuck in the past
Now that the show is over
You can't go home but you can't stay here
All the sudden everyone's getting older
Wait long enough and we will all disappear
If I could live forever
None of this would ever even seem to matter
If I could live forever
That might be enough time to make it a little better
Outta time
Waited too long and I missed my chance
Feels like I'm outta time
At least I'm not living still stuck in the past
Outta time
Waited too long and I missed my chance
Feels like I'm outta time
At least I'm not living still stuck in the past

Day after day
Everything stays the same
Is there anything really wrong
It all seems so ok
Become numb to bad news
Searchin page after page
We Just Keep on passin time
While waitin for that change
In Times like these
Waitin for the change to come
Down on your knees
Prayin for the change to come
In times like these
Waitin for the change to come
Do you remember
When we thought we were so free
The changes that have come
Make some things easier to see
Let’s keep it together
In these times we are all one
Please remind me when I forget
Someday change is gonna come
Come on! Keep it all together
Gotta believe
Put your faith in change
In times like these
Let’s keep it all together
Gotta believe
Change is gonna come
In times like these
