Spatial Reasoning

It hasn’t always been an easy road
Since the day I met you I have been
On the waves tossed about to and fro
I’m a man of a million regrets
I’ve been everywhere
Traveled here and there
But of all the things
That this life brings

I miss you more and more
With each passing day
Need to get out and settle the score
Can’t keep living this way
Because I can’t let you walk
Away without having talked
Of all my biggest regrets
Losing you might be death of me yet

It hasn’t always been an easy life
Since the day I was born I have had
To endure being under the knife
Success and failure have driven me mad
I’ve done everything
But it drives me to drink
That I let you go
So this is to let you know

I miss you more and more
With each passing day
Need get out and settle the score
Can’t keep living this way
Because I can’t let you walk
Away without having talked
Of all my biggest regrets
Losing you might be death of me yet

And with a burning heart
And an ailing mind
I can’t stand to be apart
Feels like I’m confined
Within the prison of distance
So with great persistence
I must tell you that I don’t know
If I can live without you or let you go

You Deserve Better

Your beauty knows end
But they do not know that
As soon as it starts it ends
And it makes me so sad
They don’t appreciate you
Like I do
And they can’t see what I see
They can’t see your beauty

You deserve so much better
Than what you’ve been getting
Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful
The way you tell your jokes is impeccable
The way you smile is incredible
The way you move is so magical
Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go
So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

You're graceful and sweet
But they throw you away
With your gifts so unesteemed
They let you get away
Blissfully unaware
With no cares
They let you walk out that door
But I can see you're worth more

You deserve so much better
Than what you’ve been getting
Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful
The way you tell your jokes is impeccable
The way you smile is incredible
The way you move is so magical
Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go
So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

Discarded and used
They didn't love you for you
Chasing what they thought was right
And missing the diamond in front of their eyes
But I won't make the same mistake
Gotta get while the gettin's good
So this is now make or break
Don't let me be misunderstood
If I asked you to say yes, you would?

You deserve so much better
Than what you’ve been getting
Hush, now and let it in

Babe, you’re completely beautiful
The way you tell your jokes is impeccable
The way you smile is incredible
The way you move is so magical
Let’s not hesitate, let’s let it go
So we can just keep dancing ‘round in circles

Intimidating Assurances

Looking at you somehow takes my breath away
Like a little kid’s crush, my mouth moves in vain
No sounds protrude when I look at you
No telling from whence this feeling grew
All I know is that I cannot resist
The idea of taking this risk

Sophisticated
Yet down to earth
Beauty conflated
I need to get there first

How easily your words flow
From your beautiful lips
Dripping with honey so
Complimenting to your hips
Your sarcasm has such restraint
Clothed in humility
And wrapped in constraint
Resisting is a futility

Thinking of you somehow makes me go insane
Like a sleepless night, I try to look away
To no avail, my eyes turn to you
It’s saying no, my mind has reproved
The thought of me taking a useless risk
Captivated, I cannot resist

Sophisticated
Yet down to earth
Beauty conflated
I need to get there first

How easily your words flow
From your beautiful lips
Dripping with honey so
Complimenting to your hips
Your sarcasm has such restraint
Clothed in humility
And wrapped in constraint
Resisting is a futility

Mature with defining wisdom
Your independence is intimidating
You are the most beautiful in God’s Kingdom
Your campaign is a success in this head you’re invading
Banal attempts to resist your songs
That ring on and on with the sound of your voice
Find me wanting more of attributes what I have so longed
Your dainty sarcasm could make me lose my composure and poise

Sophisticated
Yet down to earth
Beauty conflated
I need to get there first

How easily your words flow
From your beautiful lips
Dripping with honey so
Complimenting to your hips
Your sarcasm has such restraint
Clothed in humility
And wrapped in constraint
Resisting is a futility

Begin Again (The Man's Perspective)

Take a deep breath in the mirror
He didn’t like when you wore high heels
But I do
Turn the lock and put your headphones on
He always said he didn’t get your songs
But I do, I do

Thought I’d be angry ‘cause your late
But I got here early and I stand and wave
You walk to me
I pull your chair out and help you in
And yes I know nice that is
Yes I know

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid
And I want to make you feel special because he never did
You’ve been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

You said you never met one guy
Who knew as many small town artists as you
But I do
We tell stories ‘bout our crazy lives
You’re coming off a little shy
Like I do

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid
And I want to make you feel special because he never did
You’ve been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again

And we walked down the block to your car and you almost stopped right there
But we start to walk forward and talk about your family and friends
Every single desire and you want to talk about that
And for the first time what’s past is past

I throw my head back laughing like a little kid
And I want to make you feel special because he never did
You’ve been spending the last eight months
Thinking all love ever does is break and burn and end
But on a Wednesday in a café, I watched it begin again
But on a Wednesday in a café, we watched it begin again

Di Que Sí

Su cara es hermosa, mi amor
Quédate conmigo, por favor
Su sonrisa brilla tanto
Cuando las estrellas brillan
Como tus ojos me dan felicidad
Quiero estar en tu ciudad
Con una docena de rosas
Y un anillo para hacerte mi esposa

Mi amor por ti no morirá
Si te amo, prometo que nunca se irá
Voy y sabes lo que pediré
Sabes lo que espero que usted dirá
Que sí, di que sí

Te ves tan majestuosa, mi amante
Y en este anillo, hay un diamante
Porque sus formas son tan especiales
Los movimientos de sus caderas son celestiales
Vendré, y cuando vengo
Vendré en el amor y halago

Mi amor por ti no morirá
Si te amo, prometo que nunca se irá
Voy y sabes lo que pediré
Sabes lo que espero que usted dirá
Que sí, di que sí

May I Have This Dance?

The speakers leaves the stage
And the music starts to play
The women in dresses
And the men in suits
Their posture coalesces
With synchronicity they move

But she sits all alone, her hair all done
A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down
Arising I approach, in effulgent hope
I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating
As fast as mine?
The night is fleeting
And the stars shine
So on the off chance
You’ll take my hand
I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

The massive crowd now parts
And the soft music now starts
The dancing now begins
As everyone stares
Our hearts beat to the rhythm
I have not yet cast aside my cares

And she sits all alone, her hair all done
A beautiful gown, and she is sitting down
Arising I approach, in effulgent hope
I reach out my hand, and with a compassionate voice I ask

Is your heart beating
As fast as mine?
The night is fleeting
And the stars shine
So on the off chance
You’ll take my hand
I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

One more dance with you
One more encore
I wish you could have the moon
What more’s in store?
Babe, I haven’t a clue
But for now, may I have this dance with you?

Is your heart beating
As fast as mine?
The night is fleeting
And the stars shine
So on the off chance
You’ll take my hand
I’d like to ask
May I have this dance?

Can You?

I cannot believe I said those words to you
I cannot believe the inconsiderations I made
So many times wishing I could hate you
Hoping that if I pretend my feelings for fade
That maybe my heart would actually believe me
But it never worked that way
And those feelings of hatred never did relieve me
All it ever did was drive me insane

How can I retract all of the words I said?
Sure God has forgiven me
But can that ever make amends?
Can I ever take back my defeat?
Can I take back the hurt?
Can you ever forgive
Those hurtful words?
Can we live and let live?
