Hello, here’s the setting
A party beginning
Not paying any attention, they’re all staring at their phones
Why do I always sit here alone?
You remind me
Of my brother
Leaving our family every night
Why do I always forget to switch the lights?
Don’t go yet
I’m not ready for bed
And I need help getting dressed
You see the rest of the kids
Aren’t getting the hint
They’re all chasing the dog and I don’t know where he went
You can count on me to be the first
I’m out the door as I sing this verse

Change Your Mind

Lay your thoughts all around you
Dispose of those that could destroy you
Guilt is such a useless emotion
There’s no need to repair what isn’t broken
They were all from another time
Regrets and lovers that were never mine
You and I never saw eye to eye
So change your mind, don’t let them tell you otherwise
Open up to your demons
Faith is one thing that you’re needing
We both know there’s no sense in leaving
Just drop it, I don’t care for the feeling

Here To Stay

It's time I've shared what I've left undone
The promises of a bastard son
You should've known that I would run
Given everything but left with none
I didn't know what was at stake
For family I hope and pray
You won't say it so I'll say it anyway
We both know I'm here to stay
Sometimes you cross the line
But just like love, rage is blind
And though I hate it I have to thank you
You've given me something to fight for
You haven't learned from your old ways
Things have changed from yesterday
You can't expect what isn't there
This is not who I am

He was only a brother
That wouldn't let you leave home
Couldn't tell her I loved her
But would never leave her alone
It's a classic conundrum
So just let it be known
These feelings are so dumb
I hate to let go
I jot these lines in the moleskin
Organizing the notes
I guess that I'll never know when
You'll read into what I wrote
I'll make it up when you get home
