teamABC - Stay Indoors (acoustic)

Wrote this last week at some point. I think it rained the next day as well.

i guess if i was a river i’d be good at floating
i guess i’m doing a good job at swimming along right now
i guess if i was more sure about what i was doing 
then i could be more certain, and stop taking stabs in the dark

it’s almost autumn, but the world is still warm
it comes in phases, and we shut the window earlier because of a slight breeze
it’ll be nice to see what happens tomorrow; i hope it rains, and we stay indoors
nothing says lets stay under the sheets than a storm at yr window

the truth is, im looking forward to waking up tomorrow so much
that i can’t even bring myself to sleep
instead, i’ll write impossible language into notepad documents
that act and look like blank canvas

it’s almost autumn, but the world is still warm
it comes in phases, and we shut the window earlier because of a slight breeze
it’ll be nice to see what happens tomorrow; i hope it rains, and we stay indoors
nothing says lets stay under the sheets than a storm at yr window

i spent too many hours
dreaming of time off
i’ll fall back asleep
i’ll fall away easy
and i’ll climb up buildings
just to fly away
and i’ll escape time
to rewind the day
i’ll save your life if you save mine back
i’ll save your train if you’re on the wrong track

New demo. I’m going to get mixed up between Forest Owls and teamABC at some point. Perhaps Forest Owls might be the next album title.

#022 Those Chaos Days 

There was so much darkness in my life
I just couldn’t see it right
The moon still shone so ever bright
But clouds they made it fight

A gust of wind, a breath of air
Saw things that weren’t even there
Some naive thoughts that I once had
Were not wrong, not stupid, and i’m glad

The ships that I chose to sink
Didn’t ever think that I would think
And now with all this restless angst,
Those chaos days have passed

Da da dum….

Now I can see so much more
Destruction has just left my door
My mind is clear and my thoughts are pure
It’s never been so charged before

I know all about all of my flaws
I tell you mine, and you say yours
Yet neither one of us runs away
We shout together “we’ll stay, we’ll stay, we’ll stay”

Da da dum

Now it just seems so unfair
That the world should even care
For fools like me and fools like you
We do just what we do

And so it might piss people off
I’ll run with you, and I won’t stop
I got the best feeling about this
I won’t stop, It’s worth every risk, every fight, every kiss!

Da da dum….
