Beautiful Day

(lyric by rednblue07)

I'm already on my knees so I might as well pray
Knocked on heaven's door but God's not in today
This blue sky doesn't change a thing inside my soul anyway
But oh, it's a beautiful day

I don't feel a thing when the birds start to sing
Half-assing the dread over what the day might bring
Haven't slept all night and I'm not gonna function today
But oh, it's a beautiful day

CHORUS
God knows this sun-child don't like the rain
And those dark clouds always try to break my faith
Nothing to do but push on through until I fade away
And either way, it's a beautiful day

A beautiful day to burn bridges and make a choice
Keep a grip and lose the faith and strain my voice
Cuz I scream at anything that will hear what I say
And oh, what a beautiful day

And when the sinking Sun burns the sky from red to black
It doesn't matter cuz you can never take your regrets back
So I damn it all to hell and watch the lightning bugs play
And oh, it was a beautiful day

CHORUS

Two Jilted Lovers Walk Into A Bar

(Forgot this one existed. Lyric by rednblue07)

Some jokes are best told naked
So crawl into bed and I'll say the punch line again
Just for effect, then we'll discuss the implications
We're a triple entendre of "give it up"
Over sex and secrets and trying to believe
But was there anything between us at all?

So fools rush in where angels fear to tread
And I'm first in line
Time after time to get my spite
I'm first in line
Because in the end we're just the stuff of
After-dinner conversation
So light one up for me honey
We all know I'd be better off dead last

Everyone wants to hear about it
So kiss that bottle and tell all
What's the whole world missing about me baby?
I'm a byword in your circles, but you're just a word by my pen
And I hope you gag on the bitter taste
While you're dropping my name

They'll Print Your Suicide Note On A Gift Card

(lyric by rednblue07)

Tell me about how you're grateful that I have saved you
Then dig that blade right in to show me how I've failed
Because my own pulse makes me numb to being alive
But you're just lucky you lived to tell the tale

So keep swallowing your pills
And I'll keep swallowing my pride
So we can both get fed up on being misunderstood
And when you write your next goodbye
Keep it simple, short, and sweet
If nothing else, it's analogous to your life

When you woke up did it feel like a dream?
Or did you fall back into the nightmare again?
Well I hope you sweat those summers out
In your brand new long sleeves
Or burn yourself in the glare of the judging sun

A Mismatch Made In Heaven

(lyric by rednblue07)

Hold on to me darling
And I won't hold out on you
We're a mismatch made in heaven
And still lost...

I'm chasing you through daydreams
And catching you on my pillowcase
And if you're there when I wake up
I know I've cheated fate, I've cheated fate
Now I'm throwing rocks in the tide pools
Waiting for my ship to come in
Someday I will treat you right
But for now I'll just have to love you
Don't say we'll make it
Or you'll jinx it for us both

CHORUS
Hold on to me darling
And I won't hold out on you
We're a mismatch made in heaven
And still lost in the wash
Take a leap of wishes
And I'll make your faith come true
We're a mismatch made in heaven
And still lost

If love is never saying you're sorry
You'll make a liar of me yet
And this empty bed is unforgiving
And sleep doesn't want me tonight
And I'm picking up spikes on the tracks
Waiting for your train to come in
A girl like you is hard to find
And harder still to hold
Don't say we'll make it
Or you'll jinx it for us both

CHORUS

If I Had A New LIfe

(lyric by rendlub07)

If I had a new life I'd be so much different
I'd roll with the punches and keep my head held high
If I could start over I'd do so much better
I'd make each day better than the ones gone by
I'd be a non-smoker and a nicer guy
I'd have a bigger heart and a stable mind
But it's all so much more than I can be right now

If I had a new life I would be more patient
I could tell what's trivial and what's worth waiting for
If I could turn back time I'd control my anger
I'd dish out less and learn to take much more
I'd work out daily and keep my house clean
I'd be non-divorced and have a college degree
But it's all so much more than I can be right now

CHORUS
So can you wait for another man to rise
From everything that makes you cry
Or if this really is who I am
Is it worth the tears?
Can you reach into my soul and find
The things that make me worth your time?
Cuz I would be the one you fell in love with
If I had a new life

If I had a new life I would be religious
I'd be stronger than the things that broke my faith
If I could push rewind I would let things go
I'd never dwell on things that I can't change
I'd count the blessings that I'd have
I'd smile at you even if I was sad
But it's all so much more than I can be right now

CHORUS

I'm locked in the prison of who I am
With all these traits I don't understand
Say what you want cuz I'm just not sure
I can look in that mirror and it's all a blur
And every damn step I try to take
Just puts me further out of place
And I'm so far gone I might never make it back

And if I had a new life I'd still be in love with you...

CHORUS

Summer Breeze

(lyric by rednblue07)

I don't need a clock, time flies on its own
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me
All around me moves and I stand alone
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me away

Take me away

So expecting like dandelion seeds in the sunrise
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me
Keeping faith only to wilt and wither in the daylight
Waiting for a summer breeze to take me away

Take me away

Downpour

(lyric by rednblue07)

She don't wanna let it on
That she's having fun
And maybe just a little scared
And I'm driving on and on
Into the storm
She keeps staring straight ahead

And she says she loves the rain
But she never
Danced in a downpour
She says it's not a game
But she's holding back a smile

Hold on
In the end
It's only rain and wind
In the end
The sun will shine

I'm chasing down her thoughts
But they're just raindrops
Quick to wash away
And I can't catch a single one
Cuz she's a storm
Of bottled up emotion

And she don't wanna let it on
That she's having fun
And maybe just a little scared
And she says she loves the rain
And today
She's gonna dance in a downpour
