She’s been having one hell of a year
Every time I see her I just want to be sincere
But my head plays tricks and my heart holds out
So I sit around and pass time
If I’ve told her once, then I’ve told her twice
There’s no one that makes me feel quite as nice
It’s tough to tell where we’ll both end up
But when I sleep I end up with her
Everytime I try to say just what I mean
I just write a song instead
Don’t be a man she said
I don’t want to fall in love again
But I’ve spent too many nights just sleeping alone
Don’t fall for me she said
I’ve got too much weight hung around my neck
Everytime I try to resist I just want her more
I fell in love and thats worth fighting for
I’ve been in love a couple times before
But I never fell so hard and never felt so sure
It’s hard to say if it would ever work
But all I want is to give it a try
I know she cares because she tells me so
But when does care move to more and how do you know?
When I hear her voice on my telephone
I just want to make her mine
Everytime I try to say just what I mean
I just write a song instead
Don’t be a man she said
I don’t want to fall in love again
But I’ve spent too many nights just sleeping alone
Don’t fall for me she said
I’ve got too much weight hung around my neck
Everytime I try to resist I just want her more
I fell in love and thats worth fighting for

She reminds me of Amazing Grace
The sweetest sound I hear
Some nights I dream of her lying next to me
I want to mean more than I’ve been
I want to be something to her
The first time I laid eyes on you
I tried not to make it so clear
Each morning when I see you sitting next to me
I want to say more than I’ve said
I’ve got something to say to you
Don’t you ever think of me?
I know I think of you
I’ve been a fool, but thats ending soon
I want to mean something to you
These days I wait just to hear from her
In these weeks where I don’t see her face
That’s nothing new, the waitings part of wanting you
I want to mean more than I’ve been
I want to be something to you
Don’t you ever want to try?
We’ve danced around this for the longest time
I’ve been a fool in my falling hard for you
I’m just trying to be someone to you
Someday soon I’ll tell you just how much you mean to me
Without a doubt, I’d like to take you out
And show you what we could mean
Because I want to be more than I’ve been
I want to say more than I’ve said
I want to do more than I’ve done
But in the end I want to be with you

Bottoms Up (Demo)

I don’t know what she thinks
She keeps taking this for granted
I don’t know if she’s better off without me
But I don’t like the way things ended
It’s never been my way to say exactly what I’m thinking
Like “What the fuck have you been up to and where do you think you’re sleeping tonight?”
I don’t know what I’m looking for now that’s all gone
But one thing is for sure
Bottoms up now everythings ending
Feet together and stand up tall
Faces down with memories of what you left behind
It’s enough to make any man feel small
if you’re coming back to see me I won’t be here when you call
I don’t know what she drinks
But I know its more than I could ever handle
I don’t know why I run my mouth with things untrue
I don’t know why she wants to strangle
Me, I’ve been a pessimist but cynics never miss their kicks
And love was just a game that I made up
Her, she’s seen her better days, her better boys, her better lays
And she knows that things have to look up
Bottoms up now everythings ending
Feet together and stand up tall
Faces down with memories of what you left behind
It’s enough to make any man feel small
If you’re coming back to see me I won’t be here when you call
I don’t take as much as I give
But I hold too much in my mind
I don’t talk as much as I think
But I say it all in time
I can’t justify more of this
Or the time I already spent
I can’t hold her up when she’s always going to let me fall
