It took some time to find the time I do my things my own way
2.
It took some time to know I was somebody For a great while, I would claim to be nobody I was so shy, thinking I was inferior I was too shy, to express one day deliver When I was a young kid I heard a friend tell another, “Even Rence is cooler than you” He seemed unaware, so unaware Of the damage that it did, the damage that it did It took some time to find the time I do my things my own way

Oh, this world is a big place I don’t know if I’ll see you again Maybe you will be my best friend Maybe this is where it all will end But would you right now just hold my hand? Would you right now just hold my hand? I don’t know if I will be your man But tonight right now will you hold my hand? Tomorrow is a new day, maybe it will be better When I get to the next town, I don’t know if you’ll write me a letter Tomorrow is a new day, maybe it will be better When I cross into the next state, I don’t know if you’ll write me a letter

Sometimes I still think of you Sometimes I still think of you Sometimes I still think of you Sometimes, sometimes I remember The night you held my hand so tight Walking together Crossing together the Hawthorne Bridge Crossing together the Hawthorne Bridge Together, together I remember A most glorious morning You took me to the harbor We sat and held each other It was probably our favorite sunrise As we gazed upon the Brooklyn Bridge As we gazed upon the Brooklyn Bridge Together Fragments of the note you wrote last night Make the words up ‘til we get it right Fragments of the note you wrote last night I like winters, you prefer July I still think of you from time to time I still I still think of you from time to time I still

Survey dusty, cloudy plains Just like the ghost of yesterday When you follow me, nice doggy, I’ll listen to you Nice doggy, you’re the only one I’ll keep on listening to She told me to never ghost her Two weeks later she ghosted me But when you follow me, nice doggy, I’ll listen to you You’re the only one I’ll keep on listening to Oh, this work still scatters my desk Just like it did yesterday When I get called with client requests I know I’d be a much better to hear that they say But when you follow me, nice doggy, I’ll listen to you Even when you yelp, howl, and whine, I’ll keep on listening to you No matter what they say, I’m gonna keep on listening to you Nice doggy, you’re the only one I’ll keep on listening to When you come around, maybe I will be there

I saw a big white dog cross the road just the other day She was too far away, I could not stay I kept wondering if she would be okay I kept wondering if she should be okay Oh! How I love dogs like that And how some dogs like that love me I know their hearts are right They know my heart is right I thought of that white dog in recent days I wish that I had time for her to stop and explain I do not know if she’s aware of the modern ways of humankind Humans are not aware that dogs like her need to take their time Doggies like that white dog are the dogs I keep thinking about I teared up thinking of them that day as I drove on south I know their hearts are right They know my heart is right Oh! How I love dogs like that And how some dogs like that love me

Sufferin' 00:56
Oh, the years are catching up, I’m sufferin’ Went to the local pub, I did not find you

Loneliness 00:33
I thought one night I would finally find in your tender kiss But the only drink I’ve ever known is loneliness
13.
Late 03:23
We always write the best melodies late, late at night But by the next day, we always forget Just the other day, just the other day, just the other day I thought I had a song in my head I forgot to write it down I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know Tried to make up some chords, tried to make up some chords They did not fit with the words As you know, as you know, as you know It won’t give When a song’s not legit, it’s not legit, it’s not legit It’s not legit What do you do, what do you do, what do you do, When you want to quit? We always write the best melodies late, late at night But by the next day, we always forget

Losing 02:50
Losing sleep Losing my voice Losing my thoughts I’m losing, I’m losing, I’m losing It got so hot That it got so cold From losing, losing, losing, I’m losing I feel so wired From being tired Of losing, losing, losing, I’m losing Lost my sleep Losing my breeze I’m losing, I’m losing, I’m losing I couldn’t fake No longer could I take I’m losing, I’m losing, I’m losing Maybe if I try to sleep Forgetting how I keep On losing, losing, I’m losing Maybe for one song It will become two songs Even though, even though, even though I’m losing, I’m losing, I’m losing, I’m losing I lost my voice I lost my sight I lost everything

If you’re shy, just write a song And someday she will come along It wasn’t always easy for me I always doubted what I could be It wasn’t always for me But once I dug in I was free And if you’re shy, just write a song And someday she will come along I remember how the kids used to laugh at me They said I wouldn’t make it, they said I wouldn’t make it And that is when I made quite a fool of me I thought I couldn’t take it, I thought I couldn’t take it But if you’re shy, just write a song And someday she will come along

Was I the one there laughing at your crummy little joke? Do you think that you’re all that funny, think you’re so funny? Did you see my little smile? Did it cheer you for a while? Well, you got me good there for a minute Got me good There’s not many walking through my door So they don’t really know, they don’t really know You think you’ve got it so good You think I’ve got it so good Am I playing you for a fool? I don’t know what I’m singing right now ‘cause I’ve gotta make it sometimes Gotta make it up sometimes when I got so down You see me all around, you think I’m not so down But you’ve never seen my frown, you never got there You never really got there, you never got there
