Already Gone 03:47
I saw you across the room You were playing guitar I couldn’t hear the words you were singing But your face let me know who you are We finally met a bit later And we talked the rest of the night I knew that our time together Was going to end with goodbye Why can’t today last forever? I want it to last my whole life Our stars had finally collided But they quickly lost all their light Already gone, Already gone Already gone, Already gone You told me you were leaving That you’re moving away Just when I finally found you I wanted to beg you stay You packed up your guitar And put on your coat You gently kissed my cheek And walked out the door Why can’t today last forever? I want it to last my whole life Our stars had finally collided But they quickly lost all their light Already gone, Already gone Already gone, Already gone You’re drifting away But I just found you You’re drifting away Why can’t you stay? You’re drifting away But I just found you You’re drifting away Please Stay Why can’t today last forever? I want it to last my whole life Our stars had finally collided But they quickly lost all their light Already gone, Already gone Already gone, Already gone

What I See 03:56
Nobody knows what I’ve seen Nobody has the same dreams as me, Oh can’t you see Age caught up with me I guess I don’t know how I must confess, Oh yes, I’m must confess Trying to decide what to do with my life You say it’s too late, well ain’t that nice, Oh yes - what a mess I don’t know what I want to see I don’t know who I’m supposed be Don’t know how I turned out this way I just can’t say Sometimes I wonder will I love again Will I meet new people, make new friends, maybe, we’ll see They say you’re never too old to learn new things The way I feel that just ain’t me, what do you think? All my life I thought I’d be Something different than what I see, it’s true, what can I do I don’t know what I want to see I don’t know who I’m supposed be Don’t know how I turned out this way I just can’t say What I see ain’t what I want What I see just ain’t enough What I see I don’t believe it’s me I guess we’ll see Am I at the beginning or maybe the end Of a whole new chapter that’s about to begin, maybe, let’s see There has to be more up ahead More to life than where I’ve been, Oh yes, of course there is Change is coming either way Might as well let it start a new day for me, let’s see I don’t know what I want to see I don’t know who I’m supposed be Don’t know how I turned out this way I just can’t say What I see ain’t what I want What I see just ain’t enough What I see I don’t believe it’s me I guess we’ll see I guess we’ll see It ain’t me It can’t be, what I see There has to be More to me than what I see What I see, I can’t believe There has to be, more to me Than what I see Than what I see It ain’t me

I’m running as fast as I can to nowhere I’ve got nowhere else to go I’m running as fast as I can to nowhere I’ve got nothing left to show I just know is it’s going to rain tomorrow All my plans are going to go to waste Without sunshine there is no reason To get me up and out of this place So many people try to sell me Then they turn and throw it in my face I don’t know why I always trust them I guess it’s just something about this place I’m running as fast as I can to nowhere I’ve got nowhere else to go I’m running as fast as I can to nowhere I’ve got nothing left to show Although I’m getting so much better I know I have some room to grow I can’t keep sitting here waiting Watching life go by so slow You always said you had a plan I’ve seen your ideas come and go I can’t count on you to be there It’s just something I should have known

Listen to the birds sing High up in the trees Can’t you feel the sunshine Don’t you feel the breeze Can’t you see me standing Waiting for your hand Don’t you know I love you I’m doing the best I can Why can’t you tell me what you want and what you need Why can’t you tell me tell me everything I wish I could show you How much you mean to me Every day I’m with you I can feel the things you see I wish I had some way To put a smile on your face I wish I could show you How happiness can take its place Why can’t you tell me what you want and what you need Why can’t you tell me tell me everything Why can’t you tell me what you want and what you need Why can’t you tell me tell me everything

I saw you walking The other day You never turned your head Or looked my way I was trying To be okay But as you left that all Slipped away You were gone You were gone I called you up You weren’t there Wherever I go I just Sit and stare I heard from a friend That you’ve moved on I guess it’s time for me to Finish our song You were gone You were gone You were gone You were gone Time has passed I have changed Your flavor is still In my veins I don’t think that Will ever change The taste of you Keeps me from going insane You were gone You were gone You were gone You were gone Gone away Gone away You were gone Gone away Gone away

I spend my life in this dead end town Nothing here for me, no reason to hang around I’ve got no money and no place to go Even if I did I couldn’t make it on my own They call me a loser, call me a clown They say I’m nothing while they push me around I try to fit in but there’s nothing I can do I hear what they’re saying and I agree with them too Why am I here? Why am I all alone? I’m just a loser with no place to go I don’t want to wake up dead in America I’d rather die somewhere else I don’t want to wake up dead in America Please let me die anywhere else I search for hope but there’s none in sight I can’t even begin to know what’s wrong or right I wish there was someone out there for me I’ve looked my whole life and there is no one I can see I only hope there’s a way get out Even if there is, I just don’t know how I walk alone in the dead of night I look in their windows but I’m completely out of site Why am I here? Why am I all alone? I’m just a loser with no place to go I don’t want to wake up dead in America I’d rather die somewhere else I don’t want to wake up dead in America Please let me die anywhere else I spend my life in this dead end town No one here for me, no one else around

Why Oh Why 03:04
I don’t know why I never sleep at night My mind keeps racing as I try to fight The thoughts and troubles that keep me awake all night Tell Me Why Why Oh Why Why Oh Why You tell me I need to do more with life I’m wasting my talent and I alway fight Everything that could change my life for me Tell Me Why Why Oh Why Oh, Why Oh Why Everyday it’s just the same old thing Everything is boring and it makes me think What is out there that I have to see in my life Tell Me Why Why Oh Why Oh, Why Oh Why I’m guessing there is a better way To love and learn and spend my days Too bad I’m such a miserable fuck that’s right I Don’t Know Why Why Oh Why Oh, Why Oh Why I guess I should stop putting up a fight It’s for a change a new way of life Maybe I can change my ways alright I Guess I’ll Try Why Oh Why I just can’t try Why Oh Why I really should try Why Oh Why Why Oh Why Why Oh Why

Down by the ocean and the water’s nice Sun is shining feels like paradise Warm breeze blows on my face Thank god we found this place Oh oh, oh oh Walking hand in hand a warm embrace Taking ourselves right outta the race Waves crash over us and it feels good Our eyes meet and it’s understood Oh oh, oh oh Down by the ocean everything’s fine Down by the ocean it eases my mind Down by the ocean Without a care Down by the ocean Let’s not go anywhere Oh oh, oh oh I drift to sleep dreaming of you Feels so good with nothing to do An summer escape is everything When I awake I’m still in the dream Oh oh, oh oh Down by the ocean and the water’s nice Sun is shining feels like paradise Warm breeze blows on my face Thank god we found this place Oh oh, oh oh Down by the ocean everything’s fine Down by the ocean it eases my mind Down by the ocean Without a care Down by the ocean Let’s not go anywhere

I don’t know why you left me I don’t know why you went away I wasn’t ready to be without you I had so much more to say I never let you know how much I needed you I never told you so many things Maybe I took you for granted When you left you took a part of me You left us all so unexpected We thought we’d have you for so much more I guess that’s how these things happen Why did I have to find you on the floor That’s how you left us That’s how you went away There will be no more tomorrows Only our yesterdays I’ve got some good news to tell you We are all going to be o.k. Thanks to all you gave us We can all find our way You always put our needs before yours Never asked for much in return You just wanted us to be happy You gave us your whole world I just want to say thank you For showing me the best way to live Hopefully I can be more like you Spending my life learning how to give That’s how you taught us That’s how you lived your days There will be no more tomorrows Only our yesterday’s There will be no more tomorrows Only our yesterdays

about

An album entirely written on an acoustic guitar and mostly recorded with acoustic guitars. I added some electric leads here and there, but I tried to keep it mostly acoustic. I also did most of it with very few tracks and very few takes. I wanted it to sound like a group of guys jamming together in a room without a lot of extra production.
