Call It Sex

Thanks for your note!
I've been thinking of you too
My heart leaps a little every time I see your name on my screen
I like that you choose to spend so much free time with me
To eat and drink and laugh and cry and spend time between the sheets
Call it sex, Call it lust
Call it anything you must
Call it sex, call it lust
just let's not call it love
Let's not call it love
There's danger in the way you breathe your air
Adventure in the way you make your hair
Come close and let me hold you tight
Let's see what happens when we get it right
I have a predilection for all the things you do
It feels just like my birthday most days when I'm with you
I don't know what we call it --- a crush?
I have this well of good feelings for you

I Just Wanna

I'm finding these days
that memories are hard to tell from dreams
And those keep changing every day
Tangled up in history and what once might have been
The things I want to remember,
I tend to forget
I'm shadowed by the things
I thought I left behind
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna show you how I feel
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Just wanna hold you in my heart
Hard to know if anything's ok
Hard to think of planning past today
Hard to tell what's real anymore
I just have to say
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna show you how I feel
I just wanna hold you in my arms
Just wanna hold you in my heart

These Warm Thoughts
04:04

These warm thoughts
accumulate and congregate
to make something more than just a memory
These warm thoughts
As I conjure recollections
Sustain me when you can't be there
Warm Thoughts, Cold Beer
good friends
Things that keep our sanity
As we make our way from day to day
when I say I love you
I mean it with all my heart
There is no future --- only now... and now... and now...
These warm thoughts comfort me and though I miss you
These warm thoughts remind me of you
Warm Thoughts, Cold Beer
good friends
Things that keep our sanity
As we make our way from day to day
When I say I love you
I'm sending light and good thoughts
(and perhaps a few suggestive thoughts) your way
I hope you welcome every moment, every day
These warm thoughts extend to all my memories of you
these warm thoughts embrace you when I can't hold you
they help to fix your visage in my mind...
Warm Thoughts, Cold Beer
good friends, laughing out loud
Things that keep our sanity
As we make our way from day to day

Poster Boy

Sometimes I manage to do the right thing
But in the wrong way
And I've been wrong before
Even when I come out ahead
I may be mis-remembering,
or perhaps I just forget
Even with the right-of-way
One can still end up quite dead.
Don't look to me for answers
I'm a poster boy for poor decisions
Don't look to me for answers
I'm a poor example of good decisions
There is no safe port from the storm
Pretty soon we'll be grieving the one that got away
Only you can change the things
that live inside your head
We can't change history,
only the lens through which we view it
And even with the right-of-way
One can end up quite dead.
Don't look to me for answers
I'm a poster boy for poor decisions
Don't look to me for answers
I'm a poor example of good decisions

It's So Hard
03:21
|

I just made a contract to build a road to mars
I'm at the wrong end of my life to begin a task so large
It's so hard
I wish I had an Enterprise
like Jean Luc Picard
It's so hard
Interest running high for this project to the stars
If I manage cleverly I can leave a lasting mark
It's so hard
I wish I had an iron suit
like Tony Stark
It's so hard
Echo of a dying chord reverberates and fades
Falling out of suspension, another layer for my grave
I have to start today, No more time to waste
One day I'm gonna wake up dead, the final great escape
It's so hard
I wish I had an Enterprise
like Jean Luc Picard
It's so hard
An echo of a dying chord reverberates and fades
Falling out of suspension, another layer on my grave

Special Friends
04:50

I miss those good old days,
falling in love at least three times a week
acting on impulses we never understood,
having some fun when there was fun to be had
Pining, longing, yearning --- all synonyms for suffering
The space around a void, a place where no one goes
Don't need a wife, I've had a few, I'm done with expectations;
I just need a few good friends
So now I like to spend time with very special friends
People I can love today and not care when it ends
Someone to be my friend, and confidant
When you need a companion, I'm good for it
Go ahead, be beautiful if you must
I'll take it til I just can't take it...
I've been serious for so damn long
It's time to have some fun
There is no such thing as “future” love
Only the moment, and our memories
I hope you'll love me, if only for today
I don't want anything from you you wouldn't freely give me anyway
Someday we'll do this, someday we'll do that...
My “somedays” may soon expire...
Terrible things happen, everyday, all the time
So let's enjoy this moment, and make a memory

Not My Girl
03:23

hoping to connect, meet some friends
I set up instagram about a year ago
it was hard to know then I’d be infested with requests
from a girl I do not know
she sends me links to her pics and videos
i wonder how she found me and what she wants to know
I’m guessing a guy named Ivan juggling several screens
the messages she sends me often verging on obscene
she’s not my girl
my girl treats me right
she’s not my girl
my girl keeps me warm at night
She's not my girl
Probably not even a girl
She's not my girl
that's not my world --- not a place I'd choose to go
this is just a sample of the ignorance I've known
what I don’t know yet I’ll need to learn
i hope I get it right when its my turn
she’s not my girl
my girl treats me right
she’s not my girl
my girl keeps me warm at night

Bad Decisions
04:13
|

C'est la vie!
Well, here goes nothing
I know I shouldn't but I really want to
It'll probably grow back (famous last words)
What's the worst that could happen?
I'm gonna die one day, anyway...
good choices come from experience
experience is wrapped in bad decisions
bad decisions make good stories (or so I'm told)
let’s go make some stories while we can
I don't care what people think of me
Most folks I meet I'll never see again
And if I do, I'll swear it was my twin brother
The device that sequels and soap operas use
Life is short, hold my beer
that's a problem for future me
The future me has never done anything for me yet, anyway
What's the worst that can happen?
I'm here for a good time (not a long time)
Can't take it with you (as far as we know)
No one here is getting out alive
At least, no one here you know
