I thought all about you this morning I put on my favorite jacket and cologne I combed my hair and trimmed my beard so I could look my best for you I showed up on time for all of my classes I said hello to every stranger that I passed I didn't smoke at all today so you wouldn't pick up on my troubled past I thought of you and what you do blue-green eyes like traffic lights I smiled driving in LA traffic I turned the other cheek to a jerk I practiced what I'd say to you mumbling like a creep in the coffee line I tried to focus on my objective second thoughts and fears all racing now but I'm humming all the songs you showed me trying to keep my cool from running out When I saw you across the room just standing there ribbons in your hair You were nodding to the music acting cool like you always do picking up on my advances turned around and saw me, too I was brave and overwhelming laughing at your every word I decided just to tell you even though I knew even though I knew I tried to ask you out this evening it didn't go exactly as I planned but tomorrow is a new day I'm gonna try the best that I can

Emptiness 03:44
I don't know how I got this way been hollowed out by a busy day I'm waiting here for the sun to rise I wrote this song just to pass the time I'm reading through all your books again cause I know Hemmingway was a stronger man still he couldn't seem to find a means to stay with us and dream our dreams If there's a point don't let me know and I'll stay right here watching shadows grow by candle light I'm tired of this night just sigh there'll be no sleep tonight I'm listening when you call my name O, Emptiness it's you again I got through changes you stay the same Let's have a drink you're my oldest friend If there's a chance don't let me try and I'll stay right here watch the candle die nothing inside I'm tired of this life and me but I'm not giving up stay away from me I am down, but I will rise I up with the day get back up and I will say that I'm okay I am empty but I'll fill back up again

Three weeks out on the road and we've come this far spent all out wishes on desert stars and that rusty truck rolls on and on, and on Three weeks of diners and you're sick of pie see my reflection in your sleepy eyes and those orange clouds stretch on and on, and on We don't know where we're gonna go but we follow the sun we're just fine since we lost our minds every day has been fun so I'll read the map you drive the car two crazy fools on the run just you and me following the sun This heat is ruthless but we'll sweat in style that hitch-hiker is toothless but I like his smile and the way he marches on and on, and on I hope you know though it's tough though it sucks though we broke down hey, hey, hey that even though I am lost I'm happy to be lost with you
