Puppies (Smile Back)

Before you put me on a stand
Before you tell me I’m the man
I don’t believe I’m one of you
I can’t imagine how you do this every time
I can’t lie
But I guess I’ll try
No I don’t, I swear I don’t
Want to sink this raft
And I hope that I won’t choke
On their smiles and laughs
So I smile back
I’m counting minutes ‘til we leave
Cash or not, this isn’t free
It takes a toll on all our states
Was it the goal to go and hate all humankind?
I can’t lie
But I guess I’ll try
No I don’t, I swear I don’t
Want to sink this raft
And I hope that I won’t choke
On their smiles and laughs
So I smile back
No I don’t, I swear I don’t
Want to sink this raft
And I hope that I won’t choke
On their smiles and laughs
So I smile back
So I smile back

Love Letter

“You’ll be fine”
She tells you every single time
As she heals you
As she feels you
As she takes your hand in hers
She doesn’t mind
She will gladly spend her life
To protect you
Resurrect you
Show you sacrifice so pure
And all that she wants is
More time together
Like when you were children
When the world was better
With every stitch
She puts you together
A suit of armor
As her love letter
But you have eyes
For someone else, you guard her life
Every hour
She’s your flower
Bringing you a sign of hope
There’s no disguise
You could wear to try and hide
Your connection
Time and time again
She will wind up in your arms
And all that she wants is
More time together
Like when you were children
When the world was better
With every stitch
She puts you together
A suit of armor
As her love letter
And all that she wants is
More time together
Like when you were children
When the world was better
With every stitch
She puts you together
A suit of armor
As her love letter

Diamonds from the Sky

I wanted changes
I wanted higher
Can someone let me down?
I wanted freedom
I wanted fire
Can someone put me out?
Now, now, now
Before you go and take the other side
Before you turn and call it all a lie
I think you should know
They’ll make diamonds from the sky
If we do it right
I wanted better
I wanted faster
Now can I just sit down? (Sit down)
You’ve been given life
Now go and make it last
Your batteries are running out
Now, now, now
Before you go and take the other side
Before you turn and call it all a lie
I think you should know
They’ll make diamonds from the sky
If we do it right
Don’t you run away
Don’t you run away
If life is just a game, let’s play
Don’t we want the same?
Don’t we want the same?
Commitment lacks what sense can change
