Dead

It was then when you walked by,
I buried in my coat to hide my smile.
Way back then, the cold the was always on the loose
I'd always lose
To you, your pretty superpowers and your heels.
Dead! I was dying in the cold
My inward smile would keep me warm till bedtime.
How could I muster up the strength, the guts, the gumption
To just talk to her like normal people do?
I've no clue.
It was then when you said 'Hi',
My hand was in my pocket at the time.
Stupid hand, a simple wave was all it took
Not in this book.
To me, my temperature was falling by degrees
Dead! I was dying in the cold
My inward smile would keep me warm till bedtime.
How could I muster up the strength, the guts, the gumption
To just talk to her like normal people do?
Dead! I was dying in the cold
My inward smile would keep me warm till bedtime.
How could I muster up the strength, the guts, the gumption
To just talk to her like normal people do
To just talk to her like normal people do
To just talk to her like normal people do
I've no clue.

1 Car, 2 Car, 3 Car

I go through this all the time.
I go through this most every night;
Not that I like that.
It's gets harder day by day.
It's the same feeling most every way;
Not that I want that.
On my own,
Sitting here watching the cars go by.
When I'm alone,
Like it or not they keep going by.
One car, two car, three cars go,
Past my horizon to where who knows;
Not that I'll be there.
It's so familiar in my day.
It's not peculiar, not so strange;
Not in a bad way.
On my own,
Sitting here watching the cars go by.
When I'm alone,
Like it or not they keep going by.
They keep going by.
In my head I go through my,
Problems at a time.
Numbered by the kind;
Not that I like that.

Carousel

(Uh, just the moniker part... so 1,2,3)
Your little character is fine by me
Just my thought, nothing to hold me by
We stand in line beside the carousel
I wanna tell you how I always felt
I'm hiding, can't you tell
Come and find me, please baby
I'm running out of time
The ride is coming closer and I want you there
Something doesn't feel quite right
I've been on again and off again lately
Innately, I want to show myself
Just how cool I can be right in front of you
But my fear just says the carousel's for fools
What can you do
I wish, I wish now that it wasn't so
The truth can almost feel like it's an overdose
I get stood up by your very pretty hair
It's the wild, wild west right at the county fair
I'm hiding, can't you tell
Come and find me, please baby
I'm running out of time
The ride is coming closer and I want you there
Something doesn't feel quite right
I've been on again and off again lately
Innately, I want to show myself
Just how cool I can be right in front of you
My fear just says the carousel's for fools
What can you do

Why Wait

Can I meet you after school
Past the grocery by the pool
Took some time to write it
Please don’t laugh I've had it tonight
I’ve thought it for a long time now,
I'm too tired to just hide behind some wall
That’s too tall to climb over, I'm 6”1’ not over
I’m too tired to climb over.
You said why wait for all this time
You see, you only make me smile
Honestly I cannot go through one more mountain without you.
There’s no need to say much more
I'll cut it short
You’re the one I’m waiting for
Anna Ruth was standing by
Caught us talking you and I
She ran off to tell it
She ran off to end my whole life
I’ve felt for you for weeks on end
I’m up all night this sheep don’t end it’s true
Anna Ruth is like a torment
I get shier by the moment
I might die
You said why wait for all this time
You see, you only make me smile
Honestly I cannot go through one more mountain without you
There’s no need to say much more
I'll cut it short
Why wait for all this time
You see, you only make me smile
Honestly I cannot go through one more mountain without you
There’s no need to say much more
I'll cut it short
You're the one I'm waiting for
