Sidewalk Stepper

The power lines stretch across the sky
moonlight makes a shadowed place uninviting
as a blinking street light
has trouble making up it's mind
what's a daydream called if it's late at night
apart but we're currently immersed in
the atmosphere of a city breathing it's vibe
I'll meet you there 
if you'll remember the same place the same time
and looking above us
the power lines
stretch across the sky

Sliding Door On a Van

It's just descriptive
but you my take it a different way
I can smell the mix of us in that article of clothing
leaving the situation too abruptly
I'm not innocent of knowing
like a dream inside of a dream
life is so much better more
fascinating than fiction
your second chance I hope you realize and a risk on love you don't miss
here you are walking away
there I am in a burning building situation and looking for the exit
there I am driving down the street
when for a couple more conversations and moments with you
I should've stayed
it's just descriptive
but you may take it a different way

City By the Rivers (St.Louis)

Where did the innocence go so fast
it's all rearranged
so sad
people getting angry so quickly
maybe someday it'll change
but as for now I make my home in the
most dangerous city in the 
United States

Optimistical

allow now
focus with pure optimistic determination
balance it all while you still can
live life
dream dreams
steal a kiss from her lips during long walks
just holding hands

Euphoric Recall

So balance another moment 
tip the scales if you must
show them that you mean it
tell them it's out of love
a beach void of footprints
along a river with absolute current
how that place stirs my memories
I replay it all 
in my
memories

What a Place For a Payphone

Structures protrude the skyline
whispers of ink inbetween
helpin me feel fine
sights and sounds of it all
time hurts my memories of her
what was the number ?
well it 's just the place 
to make a call

Kiddie Pool

I saw them lock eyes
she smiled and they had a moment
then she changed like a mirage as she got closer
it dawned on him what happened after a while
she' s like a kiddie pool
so shallow and not very polite
so fake and so un-neat
maybe someday
my hope is without too much pain
she'll be able to see
maybe even change

Real

relish those moments
cause you'll never have them again
embarrassment was invented just to cause nervousness within
clouds cover the sun just to make rain
there you are
right on time 
smiling again
yeah it hurts sometimes
so I don' t take these situations for granted
the never ending cliches in life
I just can' t take it

I Know What's Going On

Yeah subtle and delicate in the way she moves
the words she speaks, her loving purpose in everything
the mix of her groove
hiding the fact that 
I know whats going on
watchin her as she goes with the beat
breaths between glances, she stretches my night long
contemplating where I'm gonna take the conversation
wanting her so close and wondering what to do
she walks over , takes a seat next to me all in eye contact
yeah subtle and delicate in the way she moves
