Lazy Recollection

There’s a resonance of you

It’s in the air

It circulates around me

It’s everywhere

It’s like somebody

Breathed you into me

But I exhaled too quickly

And fell through the trees

Now I’m not very certain

When it comes to these things

But my blood keeps pushing

Through my veins

It’s just a lazy recollection

Of the boy I used to be

And the girl in you who fell in love

With the man I can’t see

When you touch me it feels the same

When you left me I felt no pain

Everyday Perception

Come here boy, it’s time to shine

You’ve been taken for granted far too long

Beautiful, women so strong

It’s never too late, it’s never been too long

The sky splits wide open

The sun spots are streaming

Your lasting intensions

Will keep you from dreaming, I say…

No, no, no, no, no

I love this full-hearted end

To a long life’s day

When all the wisdom pours in

The old fashioned way

When I return to grace

By losing my place

And gaining some space

Creating who I want to be

When my dreams

They become

My everyday perception

You Could Be Happy Again

I lost your face in another crowd

I heard you scream and I called you out

I saw you wave as you shaped water to gold

The little things that you learn about

I saw your face before that empty sound

The reverb slams as your eyes lock on the floor

If you came to win again just know

Forgiveness is the only way you score

If you could just let yourself

You could be happy again

You pick me up like a lead balloon

Off of the ground, under the silver moon

You lit the stage and our way on the road home

The windows sigh as you leave the room

The scent of flowers in the afternoon

You had your way and you just want me to know

If you came to win again just know

Forgiveness is the only way you score

If you could just let yourself

You could be happy again

Strangest Place

Missing your eyes

Tied to your smile

Taking your aim

You laugh like a child

Take my hand and run

Stars fall into place

As we fall in…

I listen as the record ends

Just before the needle strays

I find myself forcing to miss you

I find myself in the strangest place

It’s different now

I found my space

Since I left that town

I haven’t thought of your face

Take my hand and run

Stars fall into place

As we fall in…

I listen as the record ends

Just before the needle strays

I find myself forcing to miss you

I find myself in the strangest place
