Extra Ordinary

I wanna roam the sea with you
I wonder if our splashing will just see us through
how lucky the sunlight will find the moon
it’s something extra ordinary
Hey
I wanna climb a tree with you
crawl up to the coconuts and
drink their juice
if it’s beautiful then you will have no excuse
it’s something extra ordinary
Hey
We’re not allowed to see it
because we live and breathe it
you and I, you and I were wrong
For every simple question I’ll find my own direction
you and I, you and I belong
I wanna be at peace with you
forget about our troubles and see this through
If you’ll forgive my ego on the loose.
it’s something extra ordinary
Hey

Usually Helping

shakedown 1995
brown and nerdy and just trying to stay alive
new school’s got a bunch of skaters
and guess who’s a target for the haters
kickflip to 1996
behind the bowling alley learning to French kiss
Free hearts, never ending summers
sweet girls and a band of brothers
Usually Helping each other
yea we’re usually helping each other
usually helping each other
I thank you for getting me where I should go
update to the fall of ’98
I got a Squier, but I can’t get a date
high school isn’t what they told me
but there’s weed so I’m better high than lonely
Spring forth to the end of ’99
cool kids still don’t have the time
but we live for practicing our covers
big dreams in a band of brothers
usually helping each other
I thank you for getting me where I should go
I won’t say those were the best years of my life
Cause that would make me sad
And I’d sound like my dad…
these days I’m still following a dream
and every time I fail I know what it means
my worth is not a number
and when you’re lost you discover
we’re usually helping each other
yea we’re usually helping each other
usually helping each other
and I thank you for getting me where I should go

Now That I Know It

Once I broke a promise to my self
cashed the check but never felt the wealth
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes for no one else
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes
you held me back, but not against my will
feed me to your dogs, I’d love ya still
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes for no one else
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes
the truth is I was very unprepared
to live my life with fingers in the air
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes for no one else
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes
can you see it? don’t you be afraid
just believe it. It’s all the same
I still got your passion
that’s not all I got from you
I hate to be untrue
but that’s not all I got from you
age is finally catching up with me
but I’ll still wear my heart on every sleeve
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes for no one else
now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes for no one else
yea, now that I know it
I’d make the same mistakes

Autumn in America
04:00

My fondest dream has been a simple life
cherishing the small things
what else could l need?
then I start to think
in a world that now believes it’s all or nothing
how can I compete?
Changing
all the leaves are changing
colors quite amazing
Autumn in America
Piles
I can see for miles
Don’t be in denial
Autumn in America
Under this tree
I feel the roots around me
every day they’re strengthening
soil and seed
but when one busy bee
hides all the honey
from the rest of his own colony
there will be a swarm of bees
Changing
all the leaves are changing
colors quite amazing
Autumn in America
Piles
I can see for miles
Don’t be in denial
Autumn in America
learn the language of the winter’s wind
don’t let it cut and shut you in
there’s stories to be told
find the warmth of community
share in the prosperity
and spring time will unfold

I’m on my way
I’m on my way to a new home
but it’s not to stay
it’s just to keep me on my toes
Love is my leg
I hope it keeps up my balance
when the wind blows
and I’m back up on the road
Will You Be There When I’ll Be There?
Something to say
is there something that you hold
can you give it away
do you need all your old clothes
are they wearing you thin
I say face all your problems
kiss them away
there’s a new home that you’re in
Will You Be There When I’ll Be There?

Long distance Love
you’re the one I’m thinking of
I know it’s a real bad time
I’m doing my best
driving to the west
believe you are on my mind
I know I’m jumping all the guns
but I feel like it is 2001
Do you think you’d wait for me, Love?

My arm is stuck in this posit.
I’ve been struggling
Keeping shadows on my lips
I can’t live another day
I just need a place to store
all my excess
keep it coming with the storms
I’ll just blow ‘em all away
Oh dear sister can you hold
a few things for me
I would love it if your friends
could maybe do the same
somehow I got to LA
livin’s easy
at everyone’s expense
needles to say
I’m just the sum of all my parts
an indebted work of art
In this tiny slice of time that I’m living
I’ve met so many friends that give it meaning
no song could explain
I’ve been stuck here over time
over-thinking
wanting pieces of the pie
but never piping up
if you’ve got something on your mind
let me hear it
don’t you waste away the day
if there’s something left to say
Oh dear brother can you hold
a few things for me
I would love it if your friends
could maybe do the same
somehow I’m back in CT
nothing’s easy
but the pleasure is worth the pain
needless to say
I’m just the sum of all my parts
an indebted work of art
In this tiny slice of time that I’m living
I’ve met so many friends that give it meaning
no song could explain
Save a life and give someone some meaning
