Theres a part of me that wants to live my dreams,

When in reality I'd rather still be asleep creating more.
Hank Love Mar 2020
She was only eighteen
How time flies so fast
Living in a smaller town
Where she knew
She wouldn't last

She had dreams
To make it on her own
Dissapear behind the scenes
Looking for the love she never
Found at home

You're a bird spread your wings
Your still onward bound
Destined for greater things
Flying so high and I hope
You never touch the ground
I know you'll find your place
In this crazy world
You're like a whirlwind , baby
And you're gonna give
New York City a twirl

She was gonna paint the stars
On Broadway
While her own light grows dim
Saying Goodbye to the lonely nights
Wishing she were still with him

Finding her name in all the pages
But did you read the news today
She looks in the mirror
And she only ages
Waiting for her chance to fly away

You're a bird spread your wings
Your still onward bound
Destined for greater things
Flying so high and I hope
You never touch the ground
I know you'll find your place
In this crazy world
You're like a whirlwind , baby
And you're gonna give
New York City a twirl

He rents a room
Cast in gloom
Trying to find a voice
That's not his own

Hes growing tired
The medication won't work
Hes still alive
But he's alone

The things we do
For fame and fortune
The shadows we see
Against the wall
And the voices we hear
That scream in our ear
Is enough to make a grown man crawl

He locks himself
In the bedroom
He hasn't seen the
Sunshine for days

And hes trying to find
Some peace of mind
Working on the role
He wants to play

The things we do
For fame and fortune
The shadows we see
Against the wall
And the voices we hear
That scream in our ear
Is enough to make a grown man crawl

He's got a laugh
But hes not happy at all
And he smiles
From ear to ear

Yes they think hes mediocre
The man they call the Joker
But all he needs
Is a kind voice to hear

The things we do
For fame and fortune
The shadows we see
Against the wall
And the voices we hear
That scream in our ear
Is enough to make a grown man crawl

I wrote this song for the beautiful life we lost so Early Heath Ledger. I wrote this song to honor his life and all of the things he had to go through.

She likes her gin and tonic on ice
She's a little classy but I think its nice
Her breath smells like perfume and cigarettes
If you haven't seen her
You haven't seen Nothing yet

She's the life of a party
Yeah she really comes alive at night
An open invitation
That you can't possibly decline

She's a woman
Ahead of her time
She's much too pretty
To wait in line
She's a woman
Without a care in the world
A woman with a will
But shes daddys little girl

She knows what she likes
She likes to watch the sunset burn
She has a sweet side
But treat her wrong
And you'll wish you were never born

She likes to wear her a dress
Every hour of the day
Served redemption from a platter
And the best champagne to wash it away

She's a woman
Ahead of her time
She's much too pretty
To wait in line
She's a woman
Without a care in the world
She's a woman with a will
But shes daddys little girl

Tonight I'm gonna
Have myself a ball
I'm feeling crazy
And I dont care at all

I might be the only one drinking
Maybe I'm a bit too loud but it's all right
Look out world don't try to stop me now
Its Saturday night and I'm coming alive

I'm floating on air
Walking on a thin line
And I feel ecstacy
Swimming through my veins

There's no stopping me
Cause I'm on cloud nine
And I'm gonna have
A real good time today

I've been running on fumes
Most of my life
Ive Never asked
This world for much

But tonight
It's all about me
I'm not gonna stop
Until I get enough

I'm feeling so high
I never wanna come down
I kind of like it
Up here in space

Yes I'm a shooting star
Shooting up the sky
And I'll never be
In one place

I'm floating on air
Walking on a thin line
And I feel ecstacy
Swimming through my veins

There's no stopping me
When I'm on cloud nine
And I'm gonna have
A real good time today
Hank Love Feb 2020
I'd sit alone
And read the times
Those old time stars
Burned out tonight

And all I needed
Was someone there
To let me know
They really care

We've watched and waited
We've seen them all
The bigger they are
The harder they fall

We won't forget you
Dear old friend
Like all good things
They come to an end

So say Goodbye
But we'll still miss you
When the music now
Makes us feel blue

Your time has come
Your moments here
The curtains close
It's another year

You had your chance
You had your time
You made us dance
You made us cry

I'd drive around
Throughout the night
With a pretty girl
Who treat me right

All alone
No where to go
And no one was talking
But my radio

Your time has come
The moments here
To say Goodbye
To all the years

You had your chance
You had your time
You made us dance
You made us cry

You made us all
Believe in Love
You pushed us on
When we had enough
Hank Love Feb 2020
I'm just a fool
On a subway train
Talking about the one
That got away
The people in the station
They know my name
And the girl I'll never see again

I wish that I could cry
But I'd sound so naive
I could Find a way to lie
And say she never loved me

She played my games
And I broke her heart
But she gave it to me
Right from the start
I'm just a man
And I make mistakes
I'm only human
But I'm less than that today

I'm just the fool
Who said goodbye
Even though that's not
What I had in mind
Everyone knows
That I'm to blame
They call it a loss
And say it's a shame

I wish that I could
Fall on my knees
And shout to the Heavens
"Woe is me"
Shame on me

She played my games
And I broke her heart
But she gave it to me
Right from the start
I'm just a man
And I make mistakes
I'm only human
But I'm less than that today
