"We should ban life jackets and other flotation devices. They only encourage risky behavior. The only 100% effective way to prevent drowning is total abstinence from going in the water."

This is a song that I’m working on. It’s about wanting to be wanted.
Lyrics
“I found you sleeping off of too many Jack & Coke’s in your bathroom.
It was about noon when you came to to me and two bottles of water.
You said I reminded you of your father.
So if you ever feel lonely, just know that I’m right down the stairs.
Right where you’ll always want me.”
This is what I look like when I’m hating everyone alive.

Movin’ Away
Last Sunday, I packed up my things and moved into an apartment in East Lansing. I miss my family. But most of all, I miss watching baseball.
I might cave and spend $15 on MLB At Bat… I’m pathetic.
I’m too happy to complain about anything. Which means I’m too happy to write a song. I’ve been reading through old journals to get into my “Bummer zone”. Still, this is all i’ve written down in the past month.
“I never told you I loved you. So don’t put that evil on me. But if you feel a bit lonely, you can come around.”
I’m an asshole.
Here you go guys, a little treat from us to you for now…
“45”
Have you seen my hands, just look at ‘em shake.
And the song just keeps on repeating, drop the needle again.
And I dance with your ghost. But that ain’t the way…
I can’t move on and I can’t stay the same.
And all my friends say…“Hey, turn the record over.
Hey, I’ll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over…
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.”Have you seen my heart, have you seen how it bleeds?
And the nights are so long, baby, out here in the deep.
The tick, ticking of hours lonely… I hear the alarm.
I used to hear when she would sleep in my arms,
But “Better Sense*” says…”Hey, turn the record over.
Hey, I’ll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over…
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.”And all my friends say…”Hey, turn the record over.
Hey, I’ll see you on the flip side.
There you go, turn the key and engine over…
Let her go, let somebody else lay at her feet.”Where you used to be…where you used to be.Where you used to be, here with me.*”Better Sense” by Hot Water Music - Forever and Counting.
I hate people.
