Lately I've been feeling fine
But drinking like I wanna die
I've got all these thoughts in me
Just wish I had a song to sing
And sitting still just makes my head spin
With idle thoughts and mixed emotions

I think I need a change in this town. The same old scenery just ain't doing what it used to for me. I think I need these nights to mean something, ( Read more... )

So why don't you sneak out tonight
And meet me in a different life?
Where the past can't touch the present
And the future forgets the consequence

Where who we are knows not who we've been
And where we were ain't the place we're in
And the morning never will arrive
So we'll just hide inside the twilight

'Cause you're not alone in this
I still obsess about ( Read more... )

And I can feel it when they leave and the part of me that feels complete fades into the northbound lane...

Home for six days. California for five weeks. Home for three nights. California for five more weeks. Home for two nights. Mexico for ten days. Home for four hours. Florida for three days. Home for four nights. Back to Philly on Friday. I've been on ten planes in two months. And now the summer is gone. It's strange how little effort it takes to pack ( Read more... )

Older song I've been working on for a while.

You say it's just the rent that's got you stressed
But I think it's the fact that you've got no one to split it with

But I could be wrong.

You have restless dreams, you can't lie still
I think it's the new double bed you still can't seem to fill

And I could be wrong, but I'm not

Because I still know what her ( Read more... )

Social networking is the iPod Generation's masturbation. It makes them feel great while they shamelessly and unapologetically love themselves, but leaves them lonely when they have to log off and join the real world...

When did the young people in this country start collecting cyber-friends instead of baseball cards? Obviously, when allowing some ( Read more... )

I am fairly certain that I'm not sure of anything
But I still blame you for this portable life that I lead
I fold all my possessions and pack them down into a suitcase
And spend my summer running 'cause I can't stand to stay in one place
And wait it out...

You weren't always honest
But at least you saw it coming
And I have made my home back there

I caught a press screening of Bruno yesterday in Hollywood. Clocking in at only 83 minutes, the film is paced pretty well even though some of the jokes are a little off the mark. For the most part, it is the same outrageous comedic style that made Borat so enjoyable. I think I laughed out loud a bit more frequently during Borat, maybe since this ( Read more... )

Kevin Devine last night at the North Star. His new stuff sounds great. I'm always impressed with his performances. He completely transforms each song into its own entity. You can listen to his records a hundred times, but the passion he puts into his live show is amazing. He is constantly changing the lyrics of older songs to keep them relevant to ( Read more... )

When I close my eyes
I still see you sitting
At my living room piano
Where I used to watch you singing

So I do what I've gotta do.
