stay young forever

when you find a happy note
keep it safe inside your coat
don't ever let it go, it will disappear
stay young forever

no matter where you end up
keep your head up, and raise your arms up
in the street when you hear our song
stay young forever

you can have every part of me
i'll give you any part of me
just go walking out to the sea
and stay young forever with me

i hide

whispers beyond this pillar
before me
voices that feel just like i feel
they question, they laugh
i question
i laugh
i poke my head around the obstacle
i do not know them, these whispering voices
i will not know them
i hide again

well i always say that everything will be okay.
you shouldn't be down,
let me handle that frown, my darling.

just come out with me now, there's love all around.
i promise.
i'll find love in this town.

oh i know it was awhile ago,
but it's just beneath the snow.
i can find it and i'll make you laugh.
i will find it and i'll make you laugh again.

tommy looks to the future

my rhymes are few but they're all i can do these days
find these shadows homes, find new ways out of this maze

i am for you and all you will do
with or without me
i am for sunshine, i am for rain
i am for those who have gone, and those who have come in their stead
i am for the lonely, and for the ones in love

forgive me if i'm out of touch
i've battled my heart for 56 rounds and i can no longer hear a sound
except for the beating
my body's retreating
from these fleeting thoughts
of the peaceful future
of quiet docks

perhaps this is love with you
perhaps this is just a sneak preview
you want songs, well i'll give them to you
you want smiles, i've got a few left in me

a break from the everyday, a couple things i gotta say
i dropped a needle in the hay, and found it on the next day
i'd like to tell you i'm all better
but i can't say that right now
i'd like to fly off like a feather
but i can't do that just now
but i promise you that i'm the boy you knew
just growing up somehow
i promise you i'm the boy you knew
and i'll prove it to you somehow

i want to one day deserve you again
like a paper deserves a good pen
i hope someday i deserve you again
so i can make now more like then

stack your love like kindling to dry
and place it on my dying flame
we'll burn forever

gather your stones to skip in to the sea
and lay them on my beach
we'll toss them together

let's make up forever

for not going anywhere

there's a road inside my head that doesn't lead anywhere.
there used to be something at the end, but it's disappeared.
if this is real life, i should go back to bed,
where i can't hurt myself, and i won't feel regret
for not going anywhere.

i'm in love with a dancer, and it eats at me like a cancer,
that i can't get a straight answer out of my own head.
there's lots of good inside of me, with no means for release,
and i think i've lost the keys to my own heart.

today i should have stayed in bed,
because being out here hurts my head,
and when i feel i'm moving somewhere
i get shoved back to the start.

there's a love inside my head that doesn't know any bounds.
and a gun for motivation, for which i'm all out of rounds.
if this is real life, i should lay back down.
where i can dream of a smile.
i push myself around but don't go anywhere.

in the interest of poetry

we were never meant for this
things go wrong that cannot be fixed
and if i concentrate it may all go away
but i'm way out in space
i'm a daydreamer

you want to make me ok again
well i'm just fine
i'll even let you hold my hand
because i'm that kind of guy
but this sensitive side is not a hobbie
it's not planned
i breathe in the interest of poetry
it's just who i am
i'm a daydreamer
