Come Back to Texas

Come back to Texas
And let's finish what we started
Because things just aren't the same
Since we parted ways
I just lay in bed all day
And dream my life away
And now it's October
And I thought that it'd be colder by now
But the sun just won't give up
And its heat just brings me down
And now all I can remember are those summer nights
When you were in my arms
And I want you back
Come back to Texas

Statement of Intent

I held something together once
And I'd like to think that I could do it again
The standard's set in stone
But the tune's so different in my head
So here's to all who thought they'd heard the end
They appear indifferent to the outcome
But things are different when you peer inside
These mindsets laced with envy only self-destruct in time
I hope there's enough for me to reset mine
They say it's a funny time in life
But after a few tries
They know I'll get it right
But these days
Time's not on my side

After the search for prophetic words
In the $15 of trash in my hands
I stand in disbelief of how selfish I am
And how obsessive I can be
All I have is all I need
And I wait with my soul split wide to receive
So out the door of 204
And into the world outside
Down below I can see the city lights
And in my ear is a voice I barely recognize
And this is my life

Can You Still Hear Me?

Can you still hear me
Or am I too far gone?
I know now that this choice was a mistake
And I want to call it all off
It's 6AM
I'm surrounded by the quiet of my room again
And I'm so alone
With nowhere to go
I've become uncomfortable
With my one-sided life
I forged my own path
But everyone else was right
Is it too late to start again?
Because each new day
I become more entrenched
In my unsettling circumstance
In my one-sided life
I forged my own path
But everyone else was right
But if there's room for me
In this twisted world
Surely I fit in somewhere
Surely there's something more

And you tell me
This is your own way of giving my life purpose
Without it I'd be worthless
And you tell me
If I take some time out of my day
I'll see the truth of what you're saying
But somehow I don't buy that, baby
Somehow I think maybe that your truth is all a lie
And you say I'm blind
Or at least that I read too far between the lines
But somehow I don't buy that, darling
Somehow I know that there's more than
All that seems so obvious at first sight
So if kindness has a face
I want to see it
And if there's such a thing as grace
I want to feel it
