Too Much

Verse 1:
I spread my wings as far as they will go
Sometimes even more
I just can’t keep up with myself
Racing through life, always moving on
Chorus:
Maybe it’s time I slowed down my speed
And learned to say no to gain back the time I need
But I can’t say no to something I don’t want to lose
A choice has got to be made but I, I just can’t choose.
Verse 2:
I ration myself all around
So in theory everyone wins
But in reality my heart is just not big enough
to put into everything
<Chorus>
<Du ti du ti du>
A choice has got to be made
but I, I just can’t choose.

Just Right

Verse 1:
I can see the honesty
Glowing off of you
You’re everything I could ever want
Both inside and out
Verse 2:
I hear your heart in your voice
It beats with innocence
And I see it in your eyes
The purity becomes more evident
Chorus:
You’re not just an option to me
You’d be my one and only
And when I feel like something’s missing
I can find it in you
Verse 3:
Our time is running out
Gotta act before it’s too late
If it’s only for a little while
It’ll be worth it to experience you
<Chorus>
<Instrumental/guitar solo>
Bridge:
Another reason you should be mine:
From looking at you, I can’t help but
think that your lips would fit just right on mine
(Oh, you’re just right)

Apple Tree

Verse 1:
Maybe I’m a little unfair
Getting real tired of me
Sometimes I wish that this apple fell
a little further from the tree
My mama says I come by it honest
But that’s no excuse for misbehavin
I’ll treat women with a heart of gold
‘Cause gentlemen will never go out of fashion.
Chorus:
My old man was raised the same way
He sees the world revolve around him
Short-fused and tongue-tied
and I’m making the same mistakes
Verse 2:
You know what the doctors say
When you know you got a problem then it’s practically gone
I can’t wait to get out on my own
and shake the dirt off my shoes
<Chorus>
<Guitar solo>
Bridge:
I’m sick of tripping over these roots
Of the tree from which I came
I’m tired of making the same mistakes
Raised that way, who’s to blame?

Verse 1:
If I had my way, I would say
“Take all these worries away”
I can’t pretend I know what’s on
the next page of my day
Bridge:
I overthink things, it’s no lie
I always hesitate to try
‘cause when I do it never turns out right
Verse 2:
Everytime a door opens up
I anticipate what waits inside
While the world has fun and time goes on
I crawl into my mind and hide
<Bridge>
Chorus:
Oh, it’s like how we always fight about
how we got here, well, why can’t we just enjoy
life anyway
and don’t wonder why it rains, just feel the drops
and soak it all in, and who cares if you end up
drenching your clothes
Verse 3:
Learn from my mistakes, don’t sweat the details,
You’ll only fail
Don’t let this good life pass you by
(Don’t let your left brain prevail)
<Bridge>
<Chorus>
<Funky blues instrumental fade out turnaround thing>

Perspective

Verse 1:
Gonna be late to the movie
Some people don’t know how to drive
This lady in front of me
I wonder how she’s still alive
She must not care about others
Or maybe she’s just plain dumb
This frustration and anger
I’m too hot to overcome
B Section:
Well maybe she is on the phone with her
Only child who’s on the dying bed
Or maybe she’s been hit before and she is scared
To go faster
Verse 2:
The ticket line is unending
I don’t have all night
The people can’t seem to decide
What size drink will be just right
Parents scream at their kids
Who won’t stop running around
The noise is making a dent in my eardrum
My patience is running out
B Section:
But maybe I don’t understand
what they’re going through
Maybe I’m not the center of the universe
It’s likely the cashier at this theater
is having a worse time
Ending:
The whole world happens to me
I can’t help how I perceive
But I know we all make
The same mistakes
