a girl

Listen to “A Girl”

dammit
she’s a girl
just a girl
not a pill to make my problems go away
not a destiny to make my credits roll
a girl
with her own issues and desires and dreams
more apart from me
than i’d admit to myself
she’s not what i look for her to be
because i’m looking for fiction
and she’s just a girl

fair to her

listen to the mp3

is it fair to her if i’m just killing time until you’re mine?
is it fair to her if i’m just holding on until you’re gone?
but i won’t break her just to fix myself
what if she is the one?

i know you’re not, but you could be

automotive world

listen to mp3

come on down to automotive world
got a gorilla on the ceiling and a workin’ tilt-a-whirl
bring the kids and have some lunch
we got free hot dogs and free punch

don’t worry about your credit becuase our boss has gone insane
slashing all the prices moving stock out of the rain
let us put you into the one that suits you best
we know all of the secrets you keep close to the vest

like we know you drive a hummer ’cause you want a bigger dick
we know you drive a porsche because you like being a prick
maybe you drive a chevy cause that’s all you can afford
maybe daddy’s buying and you’re looking for two doors

you may drive a beetle with dash flowers on display
we’ll tell you that’s hip and not extremely gay
don’t think of it as just rubber and steel
we’re selling hopes and dreams on magic wheels

at automotive word the sale ends soon
there’s no money down, but the payments balloon
we’ll keep you unhappy just being alive
and we’ll tell you it matters what you drive

think of us as a family
with some paperwork and a monthly fee
you’ll drive off the lot in a brand new car
that tells everyone who you are

at automotive word the sale ends soon
there’s no money down, but the payments balloon
we’ll keep you unhappy just being alive
and we’ll tell you it matters what you drive

weak reflection

listen to the mp3
is this some weak relfection of how God feels
longing for a love that doesn’t leap into my arms
i try to be the one she wants but it’s up to her to see
i’m here to hold her and keep her safe from harm

she likes some parts of me but she wants to play the field
how long will she look until she finds me waiting here?
maybe never. what if she is fooled by something else?
she runs to me for help but feels up and disappears

God are you chasing me the way i chase the girl?
thinking of me and wishing i would realize
everything i’m looking for, you’re so eager to give
i love her. i love her, but she must decide…

is this some weak reflection of how God feels?
longing for a love that doesn’t leap into my arms…

smart and smooth

listen to the mp3

i can’t be smart and i can’t be smooth
i can’t see me from your point of view
i’m only me and i’m afraid
i’m not the man God meant when He made

all this skin and sadness and a heart i just can’t find
i lost it to a girl i can’t get off my mind

He says He loves me, i don’t know why
He says it doesn’t matter how hard i try
i’m only me, i’ll never be more
He says just to drop His name at the door

so she may not love me
but i think i’ll be ok
i’m gonna let her go
till she’s the one that got away
