Friday Night Lights

There is a buzz in the air as they sit in the bleachers

Students parents and  all the teachers

Almost every game played on this hallowed earth

Every player gives all their worth

Its just four quarters to us but their time to shine cause its their life

Shining under those Friday night lights

Cheers run rampant as the players run

Coming alive with the setting of sun

Ticking the game away that clock is a bomb

Giving it their all and then some

You can here the crowd yelling fight fight fight

Under those Friday night lights

Half time and people don’t leave

So crowded you don’t wanna lose your seat

Friends that know everyone on that muddy ground

Then we hear that whistle sound and we know it’s going down

It’s two more quarters to us ...

I Still Know

I remember that glow

from long ago

Way back long ago

The way the sun hit

Your hair

Gave you the brightest 

Halo honey I swear

But you had to leave and

It was hard

Felt likeI had a knife

Plunged into my heart

i still know...

This wasnt suppose to

Happen at all

The night you left I 

Kicked and punched the wall

I didnt think you'd be back but here

You are and I feel the same

I know I am not going to 

Make the same mistake

I remember when it was 

Time for our first date

Its like it just happened

Just yesterday

A cool summer night 

With fireflies dancing 

Big lover's moon shining

It lit up your face

And I ...

My Night Of City Blues

My Night of City Blues

Looking out at the million shning stars

There's as many as the pieces of my heart

As I look at my city lights they shine so bright

As the tears that fall from my eyes

There is no one to blame for this 

The game of love is kind of a hit or miss

No life lines and no one to come to my rescue

It's my night of city blues

Whoa my city blues

To say this comes at a heavy

Price

I can pay it though cause you arent in

My life

You were the only thing I had 

Going right

Now all I can do about it

Is cry tonight

There is no one to blame for this

The game of love is kind of a hit or miss

No life lines and no one to come to my rescue

It's my night of city blues

Its all over and I dont wan...

In This Box

In This Box

 In this box on this top shelf are the memories

Of us

My hand trembles as i open it and wipe

Away the dust

Memories in the forms of letter stuffed

Animals and flowers

One by one I look at them and smile as I take

Them out and remember

This letter was when I first said "I love you"

For the first time

These are the flowers from our first

Ever date night

A box of our lives in chronological order

From heaven to hell

That's whats in this box on this top

Shelf

As summer got hotter so did our tempers

Couldnt stand one another

If I had known love was a seasonal...

I Wait

Girl:
I wait hoping you see me for me
I wait hoping you know what we could be
I wait looking at you secretly pleading
I wait for you to understand everything

I wait for you to open your eyes
I wait for you to see past the “I’m fines”
But you don’t you take my word for it
God forbid the day we met
Cause now I wait

Boy:
I wait for you outside where we work
I wait for you cause I know you secretly hurt
I wait for you to look me in the eyes
I wait for you to get past to see my love that’s disguised

I wait for you to open your eyes
I wait for you to see that I see past the “I’m fines”
But you don’t you don’t take the words I say
God forbid the day you took my breath away
Cause now I wait

Both:
I wait for my phone to ring and hear you voice
I wait cause I donâ€...

Only Twenty-three

It’s a wonderful sunny day
She’s making it on her own way
Got her favorite jeans
Heart’s on her sleeve
Only twenty-three

They said she wouldn’t ever make it
She left never second guessed it a minuet
Living on her own terms and prayers
She was there now here and she wants to be everywhere
She’s alive she’s wild and she’s free
Only twenty-three

She moved from California to the east coast
Found new styles, music, and people started to take notes
Talking about the way she act you know she aint from these parts
Fell in love fell out of love ended up breaking her heart
But she was on the mending
Only twenty-three

They said she wouldn’t ever make it
She left never second guessed it a minuet
Living on her own terms and prayers
She was there now here and she wants to be everywhe...

New Beginning At Sunset

New Beginning At Sunset

She was in the driver’s seat of the truck
The light hit her eyes as it sank behind
The hills turning into ash as the day turned into dusk.
The glow it gave off reminded her
Of times that were simpler
Times when she wasn’t so jaded
And frustrated

Before everything fell off to the sides
Before the dark crept into her into her heart and it
Shone through her eyes

The sun is sinkin just as fast as the past
Every mile is going by just as fast
This is saying goodbye to regret
This is her new beginning at sunset

The glow takes her to before when she could
Takes her back to the times she would
The times when she felt right
Times she didn’t cry when she woke up
At midnight

The sun is sinkin just as fast as the past
Every mile is going by just as fast
This is sayin...

Born Under A Fading Star

Don’t let my eyes fool you
Into thinking I am an angel
I can be just as evil
I have said and done things
So I aint too good
I can be just as sweet
And be like a lady should

But I was born under
A fading star
As it faded it gave me the soul
Of a girl who would be jaded and hard
No one is meant to deal with me
And I prefer to let it be like that
So let it be

Yeah it gets lonely but I
Cant afford any connections
They are hard to maintain
I cant offer them protection
From my infections
I walk a lonely road
It’s the only way I know

But I was born under
A fading star
As it faded it gave me the soul
Of a girl who would be jaded and hard
No one is meant to deal with me
And I prefer to let it like that
So let it be

When will I de...
