Mush & Cheese
Battles...
You threw me a life boat
But the line was out of my reach
You pulled me out of the water
Then left me shivering on the beach
we fight our battles
but no one will win
I won’t say I love you
I’ll never give in
You take me to dinner
then sit at the bar
you’re right next to me
But to you I am far
No need to speak
I don’t need the company
I’ll just sit here and think
what an ass you can be
we fight our battles
but no one wins the war
I won’t say I love you
I won’t anymore
I drop off of the earth
You don’t know I’m gone
When I tell you I am not coming back
All you do is yawn
You tell me I’m right about it
That’s the path on which my life should be
But you can’t answer a simple question
About you and me
We’ve fought our battles
in this never ending war
But I have won
I won’t love you anymore

When I knock on your door you aren’t home
When I call the line you don’t answer
When I wave hello you don’t see
Because to you there is no me
When I met you I knew
Knew what they all meant
The poems and the songs and the dreams
They meant you to me
But that for you I’ll never be
again
You told me I was
Always would be
Did you lie or just forget
the tune has changed
there is no me
When I call out your name
You pretend not to hear
You look the other way or close the door
I push it open
and you’re gone
I see you all the time
but I can never find you
so why won’t you leave
my mind
No matter what happens
when all is said and done
I will always love you
I mean that
But you said it to me
You said it to me
But there is no me

County Line
There's a little beach
that no one knows
where no one goes
where there's no noise
no girls or boys
just waves and sun and sand
the mountains follow
the horizon leads
the soul it feeds
the gods don't touch
the men don't clutch
the eyes don't see
the surfers are birds
who hear it's kind words
and only I understand
Then I wake up
knowing it's not fair
that I am not there.
