Don’t be Sad

Summertime is around the bend
It’s time to gain a friend
We don’t know how this will end
We don’t know how this will end
It’s okay to feel how you feel
Maybe none of this is real?
Don’t you suffer too damn much
Please don’t lose touch
Don’t be sad
Think of what you have
Maybe not that much
Please don’t lose touch
And don’t be sad

The Day that Ashley Died

|

The day that Ashley died
Was the day the heavens cried
This is the way of life
But it doesn’t make it right
Nobody will forget
How Matt, he loved her so
We all wish that
She didn’t have to go

The sun is coming out today
The rain is finally going away
You don’t have to stay in
You can go out and play with your friends
When you look at the ground
Some of the sunflowers are coming out
Time to go out and play
When you look around
You won’t see a single frown
Because some of the sunflowers are coming out

The Ones that You Love
02:44
|

|
The ones that you love
Will be some of the ones
Who will always stand in your way
But you’ve got to do
Whats best for you
No matter what some people say
They’ll tell you things
Like it will be too hard
And you should never leave
The world out there
It’s a scary place
And you’re only safe with me
As time goes by
You’ll try and try
To push for your own space
But they’ll disrespect you
And ultimately reject you
Whenever you try to leave
The ones that you love
Will be some of the ones
Who will always stand in your way
But you’ve got to do
Whats best for you
No matter what some people say

Keep Meaning to
03:47
|
|||
|
Keep meaning to tell you
Tell you that I love you
Sometimes I forget to
That’s bad on me
I don’t know what I’d do
If I ever lost you
I don’t ever want to
I don’t ever wanna see
Keep meaning to tell you
Tell you that I love you
Sometimes I forget to
That’s bad on me
I don’t know what I’d do
If I ever lost you
I don’t ever want to
I don’t ever wanna see

Before this Song
02:44
|
|||
|
Where does all the time go?
I wish I could know
The only thing I can say
Is that it doesn’t go slow
It goes fast
You can’t make it last
So don’t screw it up
You can’t make it up
Just remember what I say
Don’t throw it all away
Live the way that you want
It’ll be gone before this song

I was Trying
01:59
|
|||
|
I was trying but this is all that I’ve got
Maybe this thing will be okay or maybe not
I was trying but this is all that I’ve got
Looking into a world that is so fraught
With bad things
What if I told you that life was just a joke?
Would it give you anymore or any less hope?

Morristown
Morristown, Tennessee
What have you done to me?
You took my family
What am I supposed to say
I can’t be here anymore
You left me crying on the floor
My mom don’t come through the door
I don’t know where she is anymore
That place is dead to me
I got some place else I’d rather be
I ain’t going to Morristown, Tennessee
There ain’t nothing there for me
I ain’t going to Morristown, Tennessee
There ain’t nothing there for me
You can maybe do it?
Put your mind to it
You never know what will be

Ants in the Yard
01:20
|
|||
|
Just remember as the sea levels rise
We really, we really did try
But as the dollar was flowing, it came too hard
We were washed away like ants in the yard
