Sore Winner

You know there’s a park down by the river
Near that place we used to be
Yea the trails we would go walking on, in the time when we felt free.
But we left that town, didn’t turn around. Yea, I’ll never be the same.
Took a drink, after a shower, all the girls are here in an hour
“Let’s all hope to get just what we want”
Stay away from there, Virginia, those kid’sll eat your soul for dinner
“I never said that I was one to trust.”
Maybe take, a look in the mirror, maybe then we’ll see a little clearer to
Stop
Let’s lose our minds, one at a time.
I could sure use some change.
Take a break from fallin’ sideways, you can rest your head on me.
If we all just knew our limits, it’d be easier to see.
I crossed that line, about a dozen times.
I’m just looking for somewhere safe.
Try and find, a date for dinner, you’ve never met a sorer winner.
I just want the ones, I found, that don’t want me.
Save some face, but pick up quickly; always have the most fun don’t we?
Let’s just lose some conscious one more time.
Maybe take, a look in the mirror, maybe then we’ll see a little clearer to
Stop
This is the end, fallen again.
Like an angel, I’ll take the plunge.

Don’t wait for me, Carolina, can’t you see I’m shying away from you again.
Cause I’m lost in thoughts of nothing, and you
Look down at your feet you see me staring at the rain fall to the ground;
We’re both looking to be found.
We’ll stay up late til the other goes asleep, tossing sideways hoping, waiting for our phones to beep.
The Vermont moon smiles down upon us, dear, as we try to tell each other “I’d be anywhere but here.”
You walk away, through contradiction, passing stop signs, you’re not listening again.
Won’t you try and understand, I’ve got a
Bottle we could use it, just as long as we abuse it for a while,
I’m just looking for a smile.
We’ll stay up late til the other goes asleep, tossing sideways hoping, waiting for our phones to beep.
The Vermont moon smiles down upon us, dear, as we try to tell each other “I’d be anywhere but here.”

Rockaway

Leaving a full bag of autumn leaves, sick of dealing with the snowfall, and cloudy days.
Packing my suitcase with dollar bills, sneaking up a handful of sunshine, and leave a little rain to stay.
And all that’s left are summer dreams, bottled water and Dramamine; let’s make this trip fast.
But we’ll always have our memories, how you are still the best to me, I want to make it last.
Pulled up in the car to Josephine’s, the full sun starting to run away, don’t want to see it set.
But it’d be best to be around, cause sadly it’s the thought that counts, our numbered days.
Love, take me down, down on the road to rockaway. Take me there don’t turn away, I want you to stay.
Just look at all you gave to me, I mean that with sincerity, for you I’ll walk the mile.
We’ll dance around listening to, some frank, some fats, ella and lou, I love to see you smile.
Love, take me down, down on the road to rockaway. Take me there don’t turn away, I want you to stay.
Love, take me down, down on the road to rockaway. Take me there don’t turn away, I want you to stay.
