Dodged A Bullet

Dodged a bullet when I met you baby
Dodged a bullet when you pushed me away
Dodged a bullet when you said I was crazy
Dodge a bullet every day
Knew her back in junior college
Walked to class every day
Don’t think she ever noticed
What I was trying to say
She was always busy later
Raincheck, another time
Tried to play it patient
Knew she’d never be mine
25 with a ring on her finger
Just like she hoped it’d be
One name on the mailbox baby
Rushing into reality
Never understood the hurry
There’s So much time to spare
I sure am grateful honey
Life isn’t always fair
Dodged a bullet when I met you baby
Dodged a bullet when you pushed me away
Dodged a bullet when you said I was crazy
Dodge a bullet every day

If I Could

Sister oh sister
What have I done
Thought we decided
A new day had begun
Sister oh sister
Is there a chance
You pulled the strings
You made me dance
Father oh father
Where's the fire
Can't help but worry
Things are down to the wire
Mother oh mother
What can I say
Some things don't change
At the end of the day
I'm a fish out of water
I'm a flower on the wall
I'm a thunderstorm in spring
With nowhere left to fall
I'm a catch in your voice
I'm a shadow underfoot
Wouldn't change a thing
Even if I could
Brother oh brother
Where have you been
Trying your hardest
to fit everything in
Brother oh brother
Don't you remember
I want to be good but
I want to be better
I'm a fish out of water
I'm a flower on the wall
I'm a thunderstorm in spring
With nowhere left to fall
I'm a catch in your voice
I'm a shadow underfoot
Wouldn't change a thing
Knock on wood
I'm a fish out of water
I'm a flower on the wall
I'm a thunderstorm in spring
With nowhere left to fall
I'm a catch in your voice
I'm a shadow underfoot
Wouldn't change a thing
Even if I could

Forever & Today

Lazy Sunday afternoon
Rain is coming down
Sitting here right next to you
The luckiest bastard in town
I wanna be with you
Forever and today
Yes I wanna be with you
No matter the price I must pay
Now you’re miles away from me
3000 in between
I hear your voice in the cinema
I see your face on the screen
I wanna be with you
Forever and today
Yes I wanna be with you
No matter the price I must pay
I would give it all
I would give it all for you
I would give it all, I would give it all
Forever and today
No matter the price I must pay
I would give it all, I would give it all
Forever and Today
I wanna be with you
Forever and today
Yes I wanna be with you
No matter the price I must pay

Waiting Waves
02:36

Take my hand, let’s take a walk
Follow me away
We’ll find a place to call our home
And that is where we’ll stay
Among the trees we’ll make a path
Between the greens and grays
Our little world, all our own
Come what will and come what may
Hey, it comes and goes in waiting waves
Oh, I miss them when they’re gone
Hey, it comes and it goes
You know I’ll be there before long
All we need is you and me
at the same place and time
Forget the rest, the noise the mess
I’m yours and oh you’re mine
We’ll talk until it’s far too late
We’ll finish all the wine
In hazy warmth here right at home
We’ll sleep on borrowed time
Hey, it comes and goes in waiting waves
Oh, I miss them when they’re gone
Hey, it comes and it goes
You know I’ll be there before long
Give me just a moment
In which we can get lost
I’m waiting for the day you follow me away
Give me just a moment
Alone with you again
When you’re back to stay, I’ll follow you away
Hey, it comes and it goes
Hey, I miss them when they’re gone
Hey, it comes and it goes
I know I’ll be there before long

Old Bones

Oh I can't wait to get there
Only three days away
At the end
Of the cul de sac's bend
I'll be there, old friends
at the end of the day
Oh I can’t wait to leave ya
Look ahead down 95 south
Habits die slowly
Could somebody show me
Arriving again, that’s what
What leaving’s about
Open the door
Open your arms
Open the door
Before I go on
Oh take me home
Take me on home
Just bring these old bones
To where they belonged
Oh I long for the days, when
I will be with old friends
We’ll laugh and we’ll cry
As the hours go by
Biding time til July;
Together again
Oh in the warmth and the light
Over and over again
I come and I go
Miss them all so
They’re waiting for me, and
I’m waiting for them
Open the door
Open your arms
Open the door
Before I go on
Oh take me home
Take me on home
Just bring these old bones
To where they belonged
Oh I can't wait to get there
Only three days away
At the end
Of the cul de sac's bend
I'll be there, old friends
at the end of the day

Know My Name
02:55

Do you remember me from High School
Every Class I sat in the front
Your Boyfriend was the quarterback
Thought I was a football to punt
It’s been a decade now since Freshman Year
A Lot is sure to have changed
You still look like a Senior Prom
Except now you know my name
When I bumped into you in Williamsburg
I didn't know what to say
your excitement over seeing me
Took all of my words away
You asked me to get drinks tonight
Said you know the perfect place
I'll meet you at a quarter past nine
At Death and Co. or Mace
And it’s strange ‘cause I prayed for this day
But I just don’t feel the same
If I could only change one thing
It would be that you never knew my name

Old Familiar Way

Come home last night after working all day
Baby love me in that old familiar way
Yes you come on baby, love me right
Come on baby, hold me through the night
Woke up today had a pain in my head
Called in sick, spent the whole day in bed
And you come on baby love me through the day
Yes you come on baby, love me in that old familiar way
Years go by and I lose my place
Hair off my forehead, wrinkles on my face
You still love me baby, love me right
You still come on baby, hold me through the night
When I see St. Peter at those Pearly Gates
I’ll praise the Lord and I’ll bravely face my fate
Because you loved me baby, loved me through my days
Yes you come on baby love me in that old familiar way
