Song- Loose cannon

V1
My heart's on a hair trigger tonight
Step away before you wind up in my sights
I'm shootin' at anything that moves
and I see you standing there
I'm a loose cannon man can you relate
to having everything you wanted turn up
not to be fate
Pretty girls will be the death of me
at such a young age
so tonight I need another one
to ease my pain

CHORUS
I don't
learn my lesson very well
I eagerly
create my own personal hell
Oh baby I know you will do me wrong tonight
but it's OK, I like it
lets get closer

V2
Your heart is a' gonna start a fight
He won't be as charming with black eyes
Sharp dressed, impressed and outta sight
And he sees you standing there
I'm a loose cannon man can you relate
to having everything you wanted turn up
not to be fate
Pretty girls will be the death of me
at such a young age
so tonight I need another one
to ease my pain

CHORUS
I don't
learn my lesson very well
I eagerly
create my own personal hell
Oh baby I know you will do me wrong tonight
but it's OK, I like it
lets get closer

BRIDGE
Come and put your arms around me
Tell me that you love me
even if ya don't (even if ya don't)
I've been captured, you surround me
Baby lets not take it slow

CHORUS
I don't
learn my lesson very well
I eagerly
create my own personal hell
Oh baby I know you will do me wrong tonight
but it's OK, I like it
lets get closer

I don't
learn my lesson very well
I eagerly
create my own personal hell
Oh baby I know you will do me wrong tonight
but it's OK, I like it
lets get closer

Song- Love takes you

I wrote this song about some ex-girlfriends and various other people of importance, and it's only about 50% true.. Enjoy

VERSE 1
Sarah was a girl
who I knew in second grade
with those big blue eyes
that make a boy lose track of time and space
We played tag and hide and seek
she put her lips up to my cheek
and I knew then and there
I knew she was made for me
But the years went by
and time and tides
and fortune had their way
then in an airport in Japan
I thought I heard her call my name
The next morning when we woke up
in each others' arms...

CHORUS
I said it's funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will

VERSE 2
Kimmie was the next girl
who I thought would be the last
But during high school change can happen
over night or between class
She went Left but I was Right
so I took her home
and said "Good night"
then cried the whole way
back to my place like a child
I think about her now and then
and wonder where she's at
But between her and Grace
and Amanda's place my memory starts to lapse
maybe one day I'll be old
and cold enough to look her up
and I'll say...

CHORUS
Ain't it funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will

BRIDGE
I don't know where they all are now
Im not sure where I am myself
But I'll follow the road I'm on
'Cause I don't know nothing else


VERSE 3
Jessi is a girl
who I've known most of my days
born as wild and free as me
but with an angels eyes and face
She moved West to find herself
but wound up finding someone else
You know Idaho ain't for the faint of heart
I thought that she was gone
until one day I got a call
She'd seen my face on Rolling Stone
and said she had some things to talk about
We sat and reminisced
until the sun came up

CHORUS
She said it's funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will

I said it's funny how life takes you
where the hell it wants to go
ya know, it's funny how love takes you
where it will

Yea it's funny how love takes you
where it will

It is beautiful everywhere

Some people see a city
I see dreams.

I see...
chipped paint covering
cracked front steps holding up
old black men telling lies

little boys playing rough
dressing like their fathers
packing imaginary heat

women with eyes
that wished their little girls
would change the world

and angels who
scarcely rest from protecting
dreams
It is beautiful everywhere.
