Might Be Alright

I, think that I
Just might
Make it out alive
Cause you
Do what you do
To see us through
On to the other side
On to the other side
Starlight
Oh star bright
First star I see
In the sky tonight
I think I may
I think I might
In the end
Make it out alright
In the past
Nobody asked
So I never told
Now that story's getting old
Cause now
I see how
Not being bold
Is like holding a white coal
It's like holding a white coal
Starlight
Oh star bright
First star I see
In the sky tonight
I think I may
I think I might
In the end
Make it out alright

Lemonade
02:49

This morning I had a job
This afternoon I don't
I guess I'll go get a haircut
Not because I'm looking for a job
But because I never had the time to go
Then I'll hit Long Lake
By bike it's not that far
I always dive in
Even though it's shallow
Rock-bottom doesn't always have to feel that hard
I'm laid off so I'm making lemonade
Mid-stride, peak summer, got it made in the shade
Gonna bike, gonna swim, gonna play some guitar
Ain't got much money but what I've got I'll stretch it out far
Well, free time's only good if you got something to do
Otherwise I find it, gets old real quick
Sleep until the afternoon, then maybe take a nap
Feel bad about the wasted days, you can't get back
I'm laid off so I'm making lemonade
Mid-stride, peak summer, got it made in the shade
Gonna bike, gonna swim, gonna play some guitar
Ain't got much money but what I've got I'll stretch it out far
This morning I had a job
This afternoon I don't

Dear Hazel
I wish that I could right your wrongs
It takes too much to stay strong
Dear Hazel
Ah-hon, ah-hon
Dear Hazel
When you're one bad day
From everything fall apart
And you're one wrong move
From anything breaking your heart
Dear Hazel
Ah-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ah-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Dear Hazel
I wish I could be that for you
But that's something that I can't do
Dear Hazel
Ah-woo-ooh-ooh,
Dear Hazel
When you're one bad day
From everything fall apart
And you're one wrong move
From anything breaking your heart
Dear Hazel
Ah-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh,
Ah-woo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Weatherbomb

Well Peter Coade says, it's gonna be a real doozy
I guess we're staying indoors, so let's get boozy
We're all stocked up on storm chips and beer
OH MY GOD! I think the weatherbomb's here
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
I got my rubber boots on, I'm waiting on the weatherbomb!
Well Frankie says, the storm cloud's coming
And the word on the street is, the busses ain't running
I'm looking to the coast, the skies ain't so clear
OH MY GOD! I think the weatherbomb's here
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
I got my winter coat on, I'm waiting on the weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
Weatherbomb!
etc.
If it happens in the sky,
Cindy Day knows why

Last Day of the Summer
03:53
|

Hey babe I got wheels let's go to the beach
Pretty soon September'll put these days out of reach
Drop what you're doing and I'll pick you up
Stop along the way we'll get some picnic stuff
We can make the good times last
If you pitch in five for gas
It's the last day of the summer
I could be feeling blue
But not when I'm with you
Life can be a bummer
It's too bad but it's true
But not when I'm with you
I like the way the salt feels in my hair
Not going to shower for a week I don't care
Sand in my shorts and sand in my shoes
The perfect cure for the summertime blues
I'm sorry I still have to ask
Could you pitch five bucks for gas?
It's the last day of the summer
I could be feeling blue
But not when I'm with you
Life can be a bummer
It's too bad but it's true
But not when I'm with you
Not when I'm with you
etc.

I think I'm ready, to move in together
But I gotta tell you, I like the stuff on my wall better
And I'm not very good, at keeping plants alive
I'll do the posters, you do the plants we'll compromise
I think I'm ready to move in, ready to move in uh-huh-huh
I think I'm ready to move in, ready to move in uh-huh-huh
I think I'm ready to move in,
Even if we're living in sin,
You got to begin,
Before you get to the end
I think I'm ready, to move in together
Won't have to worry, about the weather
If we wanna see each other, we'll both be right there
Let it rain, let it snow, let it sleet, let it blow, we won't care
I think I'm ready to move in, ready to move in uh-huh-huh
I think I'm ready to move in, ready to move in uh-huh-huh
I think I'm ready to move in,
Even if we're living in sin,
You got to begin,
Before you get to the end
SOLO
I think I'm ready to move in, ready to move in uh-huh-huh
I think I'm ready to move in, ready to move in uh-huh-huh
I think I'm ready to move in,
Even if we're living in sin,
You got to begin,
Before you get to the end

I'm a whole lot hungry and a little bit stoned
Just trying to make my way back home
Been on the road so long
Don't know what day it is
And I ain't got nothing but plenty of time
And a hope and a prayer for the perfect ride
And I know it's coming
Right around the bend
Now the sun is going down
But my thumb's still out
Didn't tell my ma, didn't tell my girl
They don't need me bringing more stress to their worlds
Sometimes you get that itch
You gotta go it alone
Now the sun is going down
But my thumb's still out
Some folks, they like to talk
While others, they do not
Figuring out your role is part of the deal
They won't remember your name, but how you made them feel
Now the sun is going down
But my thumb's still out
Now the sun is going down
But my thumb's still out
Maybe I'll die right here

Lodestar

Cool shoes and a long coat
Looking good and smelling cold
Hey man it's been a while
I really dig your new style
Cause you are a lodestar
Shining out brightly
Rising above the chaff
You are a lodestar
Guiding me rightly
Lighting up the path
You must be good to yourself
Hold this above all else
Do the best that you can do
You're going to make it through
Cause you are a lodestar
Shining out brightly
Rising above the chaff
You are a lodestar
Guiding me rightly
Lighting up the path

Sackville

When I was four years old
I went to school in Sackville 'til I turned five
My best friends were Jason and Francis
I wonder if they're still alive?
But for the last 20 years
Only stopped for nuggets on the edge of town
Now I'm making my way to the Bridge St. stage
To watch some bands throw down
I wanna be a part of the puzzle
But I'd rather play than play the hustle
But I worry that I ain't got the guts for the struggle
I wanna be a part of the puzzle
I saw a local band making good
Harley is smiling before I can turn my head
Like the pins at the end of the lane
Ah man, they knocked us dead
Julie sings a Sam Cooke song
There's a pizza party in the pit
A late-night walk through the waterfowl park
Looking for my own swamp magic
I wanna be a part of the puzzle
But I'd rather play than play the hustle
But I worry that I ain't got the guts for the struggle
I wanna be a part of the puzzle
All the lake-drivers got drunk
So I guess we're staying in town
I'm headed back to the tent
To drink a beer and lay down
*rant*
(true story)
I wanna be a part of the puzzle
But I'd rather play than play the hustle
But I worry that I ain't got the guts for the struggle
I wanna be a part of the puzzle

I'm drinking coffee on Saturday afternoon
Stirring in the sugar, I didn't even wash the spoon
I get the good sunlight this time of day
The walls turn to honey, the grey goes away
Now these bachelor days may be numbered, I'm thinking about making that move
The whys are a-plenty, the why-nots too few
My friend Daniel tells me, that it's no big deal
The other side of that coin, says shit's getting real
Now we're looking at apartments, one bedroom with a den
Not too far North and not too far West
Spent some time thinking about it and the idea moved in
Unpacked its boxes and said "let's begin"
