no such thing
When you tell yourself that things will never change, what you really mean is that YOU never change.
Insanity is said to be repeating the same experiment time and time again while expecting different results.
The turning point in a life of habitual risk avoidance is realizing the biggest risk is to not take one at all.
This is you becoming the catalyst for your own life.
Called off the search
since I found you,
’cause I’m not sure
I can do any better.
I’ve had no luck
playing the field,
so I give up,
I retire this old jersey.
And if I ever think
I might find someone better,
I promise I will lie to you.
I’ll pretend to be
content to stand beside you,
and no one will suspect a thing.
We’ll start our breed
by mixing the
worst parts of me
with the worst parts of you.
The nine to five
for the beehive,
not quite alive,
it’s more like doing time.
And if I ever think
I might have done things better,
I will imbibe a pint or two.
We’ll pretend to be
happily ever after
and see how many we can fool.
Between empty hands and empty head,
guess I know whose side I am on.
I guess it don’t matter in the end,
’cause I know who’d score the winning run.
Well, I forfeit this game, you’ve won.
You know what happens when two messes try and get together?
You make a bigger mess.
Happiness is learning to live with things not being what you want them to be.
Though snooze is a trusty steed,
We never seem to succeed
Unhanding that bandit dawn.
Maybe if people made their next year’s resolutions on their birthdays instead of some arbitrary winter day, they’d be more likely to keep them.
Lora
I don’t really know ya
But I think I might adore ya
’Cause I stumbled upon
Your diary
I hope that you don’t mind me
Reading all your writing
I could not put it down
Just writing to say
Please tell me your name
Even though I already know
I won’t have to act like I don’t
Lora
I’d like to get to know ya
Maybe I could phone ya
If that would be all right?
Dialing
I’m so nervous I can hear my teeth
Banging out a marching beat
In perfect 4/4 time
Just calling to say
Let’s meet up someday
Then maybe you will think I’m kinda cool
Or at least not completely insane
Lora
Maybe someday I could hold ya
On a beach in California
Even though I can’t swim
Driving
Down the coast to catch a cool breeze
Sorry ’bout the broken AC
Still need to get that fixed
Nothing much to say
This smile hurts my face
We’d spend the day
And count the freckles on your face
Read our books and make bad jokes
About poor Andy in the woods
If you just tell me your name is
Lora
I already know, but
Just tell me your name is Lora
At first you’re just fooling around, but then it grows on you.
It’s kinda nice to have a reason to leave work early on a Friday for once.
Not to mention a weekend full of friends and fun times.
Sometimes you have to remind yourself not to take it all for granted.
There are certain offers we make only when we’re fairly confident that no one will take us seriously.
Is there anything I can do to help?
Does anyone want the last piece of pie?
We should go out for a beer sometime.
Will you marry me?
But boy, you sure can get in a heap of trouble when someone actually accepts.
