American Well, i'd consider myself more of a songwriter and maybe rapper (haha, white guy rapper), but in the very essence of both is a poet, so i guess i'm that too.
Opener Going out on the city of lights Gotta rock this place Gotta rock it right Its nights like these we’ve been waiting for Verse 1 Hey now, the night is young Don’t care, who lost or won You know, its time to get your party on I know, its time to play We’re done, with yesterday The only thing that matters is today I’ve been waiting for tonight to come I just know we’ll have some fun Verse 2 They try, to take the night We can’t, give up the fight This is, a war to make it right Living’s, about the chance This life’s, the greatest dance Its time to put on your party pants I just know that we can see Who we are and who we want to be Verse 3 Hey dude, love being young It’s all, bout having fun Realize, your life has just begun You are, worth waiting for Your fire, burns to the core Life’s not, something you can ignore Tonight’s your chance to live it up Life is good, can’t get enough Chorus Tonights the night, its just begun We’re over our heads, no place to run, It’s time Tonight’s the night we take by storm Tonight’s the night we are born Again Tonight’s our chance to live it up Tonight is ours, we won’t grow up Tonights where we meet our true friends And I don’t want tonight to end Closer Tonight the night, has just begun Tonight the night is all for one Tonight’s the night we take by storm Tonight’s the night we are born again Our dudecation doesn’t have to end

Dudecation (Tonight)
Here it goes again and like it has before i'll be here but it dosen't matter anymore All i ever did wrong was fall for you and now everytime i look i see you two I try to look away every time you come around i watch him build you up just to watch him bring you down I'll be here, you know that i'm not looking forward to this mess but i know how this story ends i end up becoming less because no matter how much i hold your hand give in to your careless demands i'll always be the only man who saves you from the terror land but i know that you wont be seeing me in the way i want us to be i'll just watch as you seace to see how much this world is changing me see i know the ending i know all the pain but when it ends i'll say here it goes again because again i look out and i see him but you don't see me, i know i'll never win.

Here We Go Again
Verse 1 This moment is perfect But i'm lost for words I know that i seem hollow We both know you aren't her Everything about you Should seem so perfect So i just regret Because you're amazing I just can't let You waste your time loving me You aren't the girl i want you to be. Chorus You're my paper valentine For one day you'll be mine But then i'll fade away And i want you to be fine Someday you'll know This was for the better And i'll just wonder Why i let her (go) Verse 2 I know that this is awful But i can't wish you pain I don't want to hurt you But you say here it goes again I can't take it all All i'll put you through I just can't love you So let you go And finally let you Spread your wings and fly away You're better off now that you can say Chorus You're my paper valentine One day that you'll be mine But after that, i can't stay But i need you to be fine Someday you'll look back And not care what we could have had All you'll remember is i stepped aside And i hope that you'll be glad Bridge Baby it hurts me too To know i made you cry But i did it to Protect you from the lies You're perfect for me But we cannot be Happy together Because of her You can't bear To twist the knife But its her, who saved my life Verse 3 I don't have the answer To what will happen next All i can do is Wish you all the best On paper you are The best fit for me But thats all i can see This love's on paper And you need to be free from this raging nightmare Because i'd never ever be there Chorus You're my paper valentine But the stars just don't align For me i might have found her For you, you'll have your time Tomorrow's better now that i was able to stop all the lies And now i have to say good bye Goodbye Closer I hope you understand The way i am inside The only thing i can do Is admit to all my lies But tomorrow's always another day And you'll be happy, we'll be okay

Answers fly but are ignored Bolted shut, we've locked the door Change is something that can happen Don't be afraid, live in the moment End our ways of selfishness Find yourself granting a wish Games are playing us as fools again Hold each other close, just take my hand I'm but one, but we are two Jesus told us what we need to do Kool-aid stains paint the table Losing's something we aren't able (to do) Making moves to get us past this Nothing more i can bear to miss Only time can tell us what to do People, we can always start anew Quickly now, we're almost there Raise your hands into the air Something's right in the world again Together, here, i know we can Underneath our skin, we're just alive Vanish all the moments that we cry Wake up now its time for us to go eXponentially we continue to grow Young and old, boys and girls Zoos of people, ready to change the world

Alphabet for Optimists
Take back the broken promises take back the forgotten take back all the futures we were gonna have take back all the insults that you threw take back the madness take back the insanity take back the salt you poured on my cuts inflicted by both of us take back the warm moments take back the forgiveness take back the past that i'll still cherish take back the bad, take back the good take me back too

Take it Back
Verse 1 I look around know our time is ending but all along i wasn't pretending You and i were meant to be but now life doesn't want to see you're mine but someday we'll end up fine Look to the stars, they say the same that life's the player, but we're playing the game turn around, and i'll be by your side That last hello's worse than any goodbye i know we aren't hand in hand but some day i know you'll understand All these are the reasons why I'll always say hello; but never goodbye Verse 2 I know they say That we're too young to last But life isn't life if you aren't living it fast I can always see there's gonna be you and me Some day Our Special Getaway repeat chorus Bridge I'd walk a thousand miles just to see your smile I'll be there by your side Won't have to say goodbye My life is up to me And you are all i see Your hello makes me so high That's why i'll never, never say goodbye Verse 3 Darling I don't care what they all say Tommorrow's ours and soon it'll be today your crying is making us strong so many people we'll prove wrong we're gonna be together forever

Never goodbye
Verse 1 It doesn't have to be this way One voice speaks out, turns night to day One voice can silence hundreds One dream can change us all One smile can keep us going Whether we rise or if we fall Chorus One grain of sand Can move a mountain A drop of rain Can calm the sea A simple push In the right direction One chance is all we need Bridge A With a smile we keep on going With a dream we save a life With a voice we scream to the sky above Thank God i'm alive Verse 2 One moment can change Life we live One child can show We have so much to give One heart can keep us going One dance can change it all One mem'ry stands before you When you rise above your fall repeat chorus Bridge B With a memory we don't forget With a dance we'll fall in love With a heart, we can't be defeated But we have help from above Closer As one we are together As one we can't forget With one, you're more than nothing With one, you stop regret One smile can keep us going One dance, we fall in love One time, we'll drop to our knees And thank the sky above

One
Verse 1 How can you die But live on forever How do you show That you aren't scared How to you hold our world On your shoulders When i see you I see a hero standing there Verse 2 Why don't you run And escape the torture Why don't you leave That world behind Why do you take all the pain That isn't yours to hold inside When i think of you, A hero's on my mind Verse 3 What if i said I'd follow your footsteps What if i'm sure It should have been me instead What if i can't Get what you stood for, out of my head It kills me to remember My greatest hero's dead Verse 4 Where do you find All the answers Where can you see True sacrifice Where do i go to ask All thesse questions on my mind When i remember your face There was a hero in your eyes Chorus Why do we lose, Why do we let Our hearts forget Everything you've ever done. All our battles that you've won Why don't we stop Why don't we share How much we care About you and where you stand But we can't understand It's a cause worht giving more Help me remember why; you died For a cause worth fighting Fore Closer I stand alone, where you lie forever I stand alone, can't say goodbye They say i'm just like you Except i know i'm too scared to die
