Fact Not Fiction

Hey there pretty lady, you look like you could use some direction
I know that you don’t know me, but I think that you’re in need of affection
Don’t let the weight of the world, drag you down into a whirlpool of defection
It’s true that I don’t know you, but already I can tell you are perfection
I speak fact not fiction
Avoid contradiction
And I wish you’d do the same
But I think you’ve been missing
The point I’ve been hitting on, you
Are the one in my dreams
Don’t you hesitate now, it’s not hard to see that something’s begun
I know that you don’t know me but I can tell we’ll have some fun
You say that you’re not sure, what if I’m gone before the rise of the sun
Don’t you have no worries because I know that you are the only one
I contemplate your body, observing every inch
wondering how each part would feel upon my lips
From the moment I saw you, till the second I left you
I knew that I would never forget you
saw my life in your eyes, your dreams in my stare
got myself high from the scent of your hair
So close your eyes and let your heart lead the way
Just take a chance, today could be the day

Multi-Colored Lenses

Life looks a lot better
Through multi-colored lenses
Can’t understand these people
Living in one dimension
There are far too many ideas
For any one to be right
Instead of this constant tug of war
You know we’ve seen it all before
We should just strive to unite
In a perfect world
You would say to me
You are my brother
Let’s both be free
We can do this all together
Life can be so sweet
We all want the same damn thing
There ain’t no need to compete
Pay more attention
To every color of the spectrum
Expand our horizons
Show some affection
Put down your gun
Learn self control
We’re in this together
No matter the weather
The world is not to own
In a perfect world
You would say to me
We are all equal
We are all free
We did this all together
Life can’t be beat
We all have the same damn thing
Now life is sweet

Don't Hold Back

If beauty is an inspiration
Then I hold you accountable
For all the things that make my world turn
And everything that makes my glass half full
I wonder why you sleep all alone
Every goddamn night
When I could be the one
By your side and hold you tight
Don’t be so proud, you must give into your heart
This is how it’s supposed to be but you doubted it from the start
So don’t hold it back, it’s the only thing I ask of you
Your magnificence motivates everything that I do
The suspense of life
Seems to be killing me
And I would do anything to
Be able to sing your song in key
Am I missing something
Or is something missing me
What does it take for someone to be
Truly happy
Time moves so slow
In this place
The only thing that keeps me going
Is the smile that sits upon your face
I really need to get
Myself on out of here
But I could not leave without you
You make all my problems disappear
Don’t be so proud I have surrendered to your heart
This is how it was meant to be, I knew it from the start
I will not resist my urge to give it all to you
Our magnificence was right on cue

Nothing to Blues

I took a walk by the river
To ease my mind
Skipped a stone or two
Just to pass the time
Count backwards from ten
And I’m feelin fine
I was everything you wanted till you went and changed your mind
Are you runnin’ to or are you runnin’ from?
Am I number two or am I number one?
Now baby don’t you worry
I got nothin’ to lose
There ain’t much more you can do
Already got the blues
Takin’ me for granted like you
Got nothing to prove
If you don’t plan on stickin around you best be on the move
Where you gonna go when you got nowhere to run
Are you stayin true or you just havin fun
You tell me I’m the only one that understands
All the things you do and all of your plans
But what’s the point if none of them be including me
Treat like a man now girl now I’m not your diary
Tell me right now I am the only one
Or you can pack your bags right now cuz we are done
