Ground I Ought To Stand On

I have made my own decisions

I have been down the road less taken

Mistakes are mine

The love is fine

And the heartbreak has left me shaken

I learn from it all and I see my path

I know the ground I ought to stand on

But it’s your side I want to be by

If we follow each other we might go down

But it will be together and with a love that falters none

You only live once and it’s making it tough

Except someone will get hurt

You stand staring me down and

I know the ground I ought to stand on

Far away and can’t hold your hand

This is where you tell me I am suppose to be

I had the love and I had your touch

We shared it all as if it was only us

We parted, but I thought I saw the light

I figured you just might get to be mine

Until you told me you found new ground to stand on

Sent my love back and told me yours is gone


I guess I have to find new ground to stand on

Miss Together

Miss Together

I loved you and you loved me

I opened my big mouth and all had to leave

Nothing feels quite the same

I like to say I’m to blame

The more I hurt somehow makes it all right

Still I miss good night

I miss love you, baby

And I miss together lately

It hasn’t been long and I already want it back

For reasons unknown I would turn back the clocks

Take back the tears, the sighs, the words

Bring back the laughs, the tender-hearted longing

I miss sharing the sweet things we wanted

I miss learning what haunts us

I miss love you, baby

And I miss together lately

There are a few things I want

I shouldn’t but I do

I don’t know how to fix what can’t be undone

Two hearts and cracks all through them, love

But I know

I miss talking through the day

I miss knowing you love me crazy

I miss love you, baby

And I miss together lately

Yeah, I miss love you, baby

And I miss together lately

Can love happen t0o fast? And become too strong? Maybe. But one thing is for sure. To have love happen fast through a great connection and become so strong only to not ever have a chance to succeed is one of the worst things ever. It messes with the human condition.

Love You Crazy

You have left and I’m alone

I don’t know how

I don’t know why

But I sure did let you go

And I can’t cross that river for fear I’ll drown

I wish I could swim it but I have not learned how

I love you crazy without a doubt

I want you back

I will learn the way

I will open my heart to find you again

A warning was not needed

Nothing was fast enough to tell

Your love knocked me down before I knew what I was feeling

Hit me before I even fell

I opened up like never before

We cried and laughed

Threw the past right out the door

I don’t know how

I love you crazy without a doubt

And how do I ever say goodbye

Tears of happiness are all I’ll cry

If you’ll stay here and give it all you got

I’m not gone, but we are a little lost

And like the space we live in

I don't understand

But I love you crazy without a doubt

Burn (Where There's Smoke)

As always this is sort of autobiographical. A plea or warning of sorts to someone. He did not listen. I got hurt.

Burn (Where There’s Smoke)

Another little heart that is messed up

One more drink to forget it all

She’s going to jump when your fingers touch

She’s been waiting and it has been long

You’re gonna come down, it’s gonna hurt

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire

And it’s gonna burn

She’s a little cracked but not fully broken

If you can’t be careful, be kind, and put her back

It won’t be wild but a gentle token

And when it is the love you lack

You’re gonna come down, it’s gonna hurt

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire

And it’s gonna burn

You have been a worried man

Not sure about the path you are on

Your eyes are empty and you want to shine

You see a light and want to grab on

Anything for a sign

You’re gonna come down, it’s gonna hurt

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire

And who’ll get burned?

Without a reason

But we need a reason

You run around and tire

And then what will you desire

Where there's smoke, there's fire...
