Texting U

This is a simple song about texting you
You say that you miss me but I can’t tell that you do
Because whenever I text I tend to text in twos
My anxiety just grows cuz i know you're on Instagram too.
I don’t like the feeling of waiting on something
So why do you have to always keep me guessing?
Am freaking out over nothing
Or are you busy with some other dude
A simple song about texting you
You say sometimes you get misconstrued
Why text at all if i feel youre rude?
Well I just cant help but missing you.

DOUBTS

Im on a beach in san diego
We're having sex in the sand
I wake up from my wet day dream
To the emptyness of this town
Im getting a call
Its sadness ok clock
She talks to somebody else
She says "im not sure who i was"
ive lost it all
Time and family and friends
Ive hit the biggest wall
And now sorry dude she cant conclude
I might be having
Having SECOND THOUGHTS
May be the first time
May be the last time
Maybe
That i really see you
And im on a bench
And shes tossing a ball in the air
I hunch
I know that you are not there
I sing
I looked at the spot where we lay
Lay down
And now you say youre having DOUBTS.
May be the first time
May be the last time
Maybe the first time
That i really see you
All these endless songs
About how i cant live without
All my songs have to turned into
Apolgies of what ive done or not
I walked away
I walked away to call you
And i was afriad
Cuz i put my hands out on the ledge
And you stepped on them too
Ive lost everything now
And you said youre having
DOUBTS.
(Im tired of thinking of reasons
That im worth coming back to
I hope that it was real as i knew
I bet you didnt miss me too)

I KNOW THE PATH TO YOUR HOUSE
LIKE THE FRONT OF MY PALMS
BUT THIS WEEK WHEN I WENT WALKING
I DIDN'T SEE YOU AT YOUR MOMS
I WAS SAD I COULDN’T DROP OFF
MY STAR MARKET FLOWERS
TO THE CUTEST GIRL IN TOWN
WHO WRITES POEMS AFTER HOURS
THIS CAN'T HURT THIS BAD
SO I BETTER RELAX
PLAY THE SONG, KICK BACK,
NO TIME TO OVERREACT.
AND THE FLIGHT TO YOU NOW
WON’T BE CHEAP BUT SOMEHOW
IN MY DREAMS I GET ON THE PLANE
I CAN'T GET USE TO THIS PAIN
WHEN WE BOTH GO AWAY
AND THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
JUST WHEN I COME AROUND NOW
I CANNOT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT
THE PATH WASN’T AS STRAIGHT
AS I HAD ALWAYS THOUGHT SOMEHOW
AND WHEN YOUR SOCK FALLS OFF YOUR HEEL
I FIND MY HEART TRYING TO FEEL
LIKE I HAVE WILLED MYSELF TO CHANGE
BUT I HAVEN’T NO NOT IN OUR LOVES CASE
MAYBE A BIT TO TRY AND STAY SANE
WE’LL MAKE THIS LOVE, AND DAY WHATEVER WE WANT
I’M TAKING TIME, YES THE TIME THAT IS MINE
I’VE LOST MYSELF IN THE MORNINGS, THE EVENINGS AND NIGHTS
I DON’T EXPECT IT TO BE PERFECT ANYMORE
YOU’RE FOREVER STUCK IN MY HEAD
I CAN’T HELP MYSELF FROM DREAMING
OF PUTTING IN YOUR HAIR, WILD FLOWERS
FOR THE CUTEST GIRL IN TOWN
WHO WRITES POEMS AFTER HOURS.

Then I Let Go

When we’re alone
I still get real weird
I drove you home
And at the end i swear
You looked at me
And saw someone else
But i told you you were pretty
And you put your shoes down where it was grassy.
Cuz when you smile
I get taken back
Like im a child
All nervous and unkept
You hug me too
But we both knew
I fucked up
And you fucked up too
And im sure that I’ll be fine,
Coasting through my east coast nights
I just wanted one goodbye
Goobye. WHoooo
You’ll go to school
I might not see you again
You push my buttons
Like to play with them
You act like no
You dont know a goddamn thing
But you know what you’re doing
I wish we kissed
But then again i dont
Act like a bitch
Don't apologize for shit
No you weren't as weak as i was though.
But im sure you got poems that i dont know.
At the show
Everything was alright
But I let go
And i just felt apart
Like listening to keaton henson
Saw you after a race
When i dropped you home
I said goobye
And rode the wave!
Then i let go

When Nora left for california
I was out here waiting for ya
And when Alex
Went to somewhere france
He didnt tell me
When he’d be back again
And you were in New York City
Looking at lights more pretty
well no not pretty as you.
I watched the fireworks
With Noah in our town
And then you mentioned
You’re coming back around
I thought i saw you
At the quiznos no
I thought i saw you
But then we had to go
And then i had to go
Heres a song for
Every summertime friend
Im going to ians
To write tunes again
And god i feel so content
Ever since we left school
I thought i regret things
But i love actin a fool
I have seen Dante
in a couple of weeks
(But thats how its been)
Romas coming around next week probably
And I have seen
You in just a few hours
Maybe just a day
And that’s all that it takes.
I thought i saw you
At the quiznos no
I thought i saw you
But then we had to go

Stay in Myself

Now comes the wonderful feeling
of scratching your head
They paved the road i have travelled
Almost a million times
To visit you
All my songs end in that road
Running, walking, driving
Kissing stumbling
Keep me close, im good for it i promise
I never fixed your voicemail
But one day I might
I will stay in the nature of your kindness
From time to time
I am the ocean and you are the bay
Ignore the west and the east
Lying next you and trying not to think
Of any day past tomorrow.
I am lucky now
Just one more song
About your hair
How it moves
How i still care
I’m getting tired
And I’m leaving home
So it’s time to be honest
It’s not bitter its just sweet
Everything is simple in the morning
Gentle like landing at your feet
I love you and I miss you
And I’ll miss you when I leave
But I am grateful for today.
The flowers in your hair, Honestly,
I’ll miss you when I go to college.
Are you almost done with that book i lent you to read?
I love how you love me.

Fourth of July
Im away from you. (just octaves)
AMAR VERSE
I wanna write a song that i can
Fall asleep to
On a airmatress in our house in our living room
I wanna sweat hot wet,
I wanna see you sweat
I wanna house so big
We pass it down to both our kids.
Fourth of July
Im away from you. (harmonies)
IMANI VERSE
Fourth of July
I'm away from you
I'm still high off the reverie
Of you kissing me
In a house our kids will grow up in
Falling into your arms
I wanna feel how i feel with your hands on my back
Wanna feel like it feels with things we haven't felt yet
TWO MUSHROOMS TOGETHER:
And when you and I talk it feels like maybe we could stop the clocks.
Cuz when times flies, it feels like a comet into the night.
Still tounge tied and but finally past Junior High,
I cannot wait to start the rest of our lives
Fourth of July
Fourth of July
I'm far away from you
DEMO PART - from a sleepy afternoon
