Here I am
The 25th
Six days until the new year comes around and hits us again
I got my plans
You've got yours
I'll be holding you hand until we near the fork again
And I want you
Can't have you
Come over and stay
At least for the day
And I want you
Can't have you
Come over and stay
Anyways
I feel dejected
Guess that's expected
When I'm talking about it
I'm feeling uncertain about how I will spend the next few months with you
Let's make corrections
That's my profession
I like singing about it
Pick up my guitar and all those bad thoughts
Wither away
And it's working
Least I hope so
Come over and stay
At least for the day
'cause you move me
Or I think so...
Come over and stay
Anyways
It's hardly even dangling when the threads are holding you together
From that foggy patch in April to your birthday from the past December
Yeah, believe me when I tell you if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it
You just live your life with passion and don't ask for anyone's permission

I've never driven here before
Syracuse you're in full view
Now I can explain:
My life's so rearranged
I saw through leaving you behind
In late nights and no rest
You would often suggest that I saw through leaving you behind
So I did
I've never seen your face before
That thought makes me uncomfortable
Would you like it if I held the door?
Oh Ben, it's just your thought that counts
Rodger's on the rove again
These Pennsylvania mountains don't give a shit
But he could sure use your company
As he traipses aimless,
Aimless and alone through another city again and again
"I saw through leaving you behind
With late nights and no rest
You would often suggest that I saw through leaving you behind
But growing up's so goddamn hard!"
And I saw you on the quarterdeck
With nicotine in your solar plexus
I saw through leaving you behind
I asked if you were feeling fine
No response.
You carried on.

Patience

I've been
Trembling in my sleep waiting on patience
I've been
Trembling in my sleep waiting on patience
To come through, pick me up off the ground
Sort the loneliness out
So come through, pick me up off the ground
Sort the loneliness out.
I've been
Waiting on you to fix our relationship
While I've been
Trembling in my sleep waiting for patience
And it's proof, I'm stretching you out
Like your bracelets on the ground
So come through, pick me up off the ground
Sort the loneliness out
And it's alright
It just needs some time
I'll let you decide
And it's hard
To not wanna talk
But by God I'll try...

These nights are long
These days are stark
Tell me is it so wrong
To admit that I miss you?
"I found those cigarettes you left
They made me want to call you
And ask you if you quit yet.
If that ain't a symbol
A symbol that these nights are long
These days are stark
Tell me is it so wrong
To admit that I miss you?"
"Around the bend, and back again
A strengthened pose, a change of clothes
But nothing much else to distinguish from the former
I see the same kid at that little league game
Beating himself up for not making the play
Don't worry son you can still come back and win this
I'm a witness that your nights are long
Your days are stark
Tell me is it so wrong
To admit that I miss you
While you're laying in the sunroom
Conjuring talks with the Lord?
Things get better, I'm sure...
Oh what's the point of crying?
I wanna write you
You know
I wanna call you
In Oakfield, was it bitter?"
"Back in Oakfield, it was bitter."

Oh mom
Where does this fictiveness stem from?
Was it a pond
Or an ocean that Vincent just stepped on?
Either way
I could't be more thankful for you
Times have changed
But my heart always feels so brand new
Thank you.
Oh God!
It feels so good just to bring it to the limelight:
The good times
That feel so far when you hold them so tight
But behold its grace!
I couldn't be more thankful for you
You're the rays
That shine through my nostalgic review
Lambs Creek, twin oaks
You couldn't beat it
Lambs Creek, twin oaks
You couldn't leave it

Resolve

It's the final circle
For 20 centuries
Oh I've been traipsing along
Some 30 phases,
The murky waters
Oh I can speak for Resolve...
It's true, it's real
That's his name! He's my roommate,
He pays rent, we're doing just fine
King George, New York, California, you name it:
He's always by my side
I remember I was scarred and it showed
I had the world bit the love from my throat
Wondering who I was supposed to be in an abandoned lot off Utica Street
It's all behind me
So fuck my worries
And fuck our history
Who ever needed sad songs to make it through?
The war is over
I'm feeling happy!
But I'm nervous for the fall
It's true, you know
You can't expect to keep yourself in that state all the time
It's true, it's hard
To stand up when you got this debris clouding your mind
I remember I was scarred and it showed
I was lonely and too often remote,
Giving too much thought to the people that weren't thinking of me
But it's all behind me
Oh believe me,
It's fire and brimstone
And murky waters
And whatever shit your therapist says
But it gets better...
It isn't easy...
But you'll be happy that you're starting again
