sunday night
my phone's ringing
this ain't right
what's she thinking
Ii rely on quiet moments
to get by. i lost myself in all this noise
i need to find some peace of mind
please just leave me alone
i'll stop picking up my phone
i'll turn off my notifications for the day
maybe longer if i swear
i don't need to be aware
of every little thing you feel the need
to say
go away
not everyone
is like you
always right
excuse you
if you wonder why they always leave
it's 'cause you don't know boundaries
it's personal, you know it's you, not me
please just leave me alone
i'll stop picking up my phone
i'll turn off my notifications for the day
maybe longer if i swear
i don't need to be aware
of every little thing you feel the need
to say
there's no use in telling you
i know that there's no getting through
i'll leave it for the next one to figure out
and if you need an alibi
i hate to say i'm not your guy
i'm leaving and here's the reason why
you never leave me along
i'll stop picking up my phone
i'll turn off my notifications for the day
and forever, i swear
i don't need to be aware
of every little thing you feel the need
to say

brain vacation

i don't know what's wrong with me
something has been lost and i can't see
'cause i don't look at you the same way no more
tell me what i'm living for
i can't stand to be alone with you
'cause it reminds me that i don't know what to do
touching you don't feel the same way no more
tell me what i'm living for
i just need a little time to myself
maybe i need professional help
it's not for lack of love
it's just for lack of inspiration
maybe i need a little brain vacation
it's getting hard to sing my song
every time i write it
the words just come out wrong
i don't know what i'm supposed to say no more
tell me what i'm living for
i just need a little time to myself
maybe i need professional help
it's not for lack of love
it's just for lack of inspiration
maybe i need a little brain vacation
time was hard to come by for a while
everyday it got harder to smile
i could not find the strength
to hold you close to me
but i always loved you i hope you'll see
i just need a little time to myself
maybe i need professional help
it's not for lack of love
it's just for lack of inspiration
maybe i need a little brain vacation

callouses

why can't i hold on to something beautiful
there must be something wrong with my hands
slipping through my fingers like you're made of sand
knuckles have turned whiteno, i don't understand
i've got all these callouses
from holding on too tight
things get ripped away from me
in the middle of the night
if you make a promise
i'll hold you to it lightly
if you do me wrong
i'll be alright
sorry if i choke you with my promises
or if i suffocate you with my love
i know i probably overstayed my welcome
i know by now you've probably had enough
i've got all these callouses
from holding on too tight
things get ripped away from me
in the middle of the night
if you make a promise
i'll hold you to it lightly
if you do me wrong
i'll be alright
they say if you love them let them go
if they don't come back that's how you'll know
i've never been too good at goodbyes
it's hard to loosen up my grip sometimes
i've got all these callouses
from holding on too tight
things get ripped away from me
in the middle of the night
if you make a promise
i'll hold you to it lightly
if you do me wrong
i'll be alright
if you do me wrong
i'll be alright (x2)

danny's other song

i found a lover
he's strong and he's kind
his heart is an ocean
it's better than mine
he knows what i'm thinking
when i won't say a word
and i know that he hears me
when i don't want to be heard
he tore me right open
when i wouldn't let him in
you know i was hoping
that i wouldn't win
i'm so glad you're crazy
'cause i'm crazy, too
i hope i can spend my forever with you
he makes me try harder
he makes me feel whole
my father would love him
god rest his soul
you know that i love you
and i like you too
i hope you believe me
'cause it'll always be true
he tore me right open
when i wouldn't let him in
you know i was hoping
that i wouldn't win
i'm so glad you're crazy
'cause i'm crazy, too
i hope i can spend my forever with you
i never thought it would happen to me
i thought i was broken, you made me believe
i don't want to scare you, but i just want to say
that i've never looked at white dresses this way
he tore me right open
when i wouldn't let him in
you know i was hoping
that i wouldn't win
i'm so glad you're crazy
'cause i'm crazy, too
i hope i can spend my forever with you

five years passed come this december
since the day you went away
heaven saw you suffering
the god above took you away
somehow i think that i'm to blame
the way i acted i feel so ashamed
had i been a little older
i'd have done it differently
sixteen's just to young to realize
all of life's fragility
i shut you out while you came undone
asked me to stay but all i did was run
please forgive me father i have sinned
i didn't mean to hurt you in the end
you can lead a horse to water
but the water he won't drink
i'm sorry
i love you
that's all
if you're wondering how we've been
well here's a little summary
mama's good she's keeping busy
she's getting back on her feet
she met a man who broke her heart,
got a brand new house and a brand new start
Garry, Kenny, Robert, Wayne, and Michael
are just doing well
kids are going places and you
missed a couple wedding bells
at times i think it's so unfair
but when i'm with them it's almost like you're there
please forgive me father i have sinned
i didn't mean to hurt you in the end
you can lead a horse to water
but the water he won't drink
i'm sorry
i love you
that's all
i don't blame you if you hate me
oh, you know you have the right
if it's any consolation
i no longer sleep at night
i find it hard to forgive myself
i'm sure that i'll be damned straight to hell
please forgive me father i have sinned
i didn't mean to hurt you in the end
you can lead a horse to water
but the water he won't drink
i'm sorry
i love you
that's all
