Let’s go and eat some pasta Then see a movie too Maybe we’ll do some shopping Invite our friends if we want to Let’s go and get a milk shake Let’s go and get some tea We’ll ask each other questions Decide our destiny Let’s read a book together And learn to waltz and swing I’ll teach you to play tennis You’ll teach me how to swim One look One glance, One word, Amazement… Let’s go to a foreign country Let the kids smirk and smile I’ll record you on piano You’ll make it worth my while Let’s go and see a concert And drive through blizzard storm I don’t think we can make it My house is safe and warm One look One glance, One word, Amazement… Let’s go and buy and ocean Let’s go and rent some friends We’ll throw a hipster party One that never ends Let’s make a life together Underneath the sun Let’s go and plan forever And try and become one

Take my hand, pull me out on the floor Don’t let me watch from the comfort of my chair We’ll move together, never apart Let’s move in step to the rhythm of our heart So teach me to dance Like a satellite Always rotating In perfect time And I may not be the most graceful one here tonight But if you will teach me I will dance with you all through this life

I can’t get through to you I’ve been waiting on the line for hours I don’t know what else to do I don’t think I can hold on much longer We’ve got a bad connection, baby Somewhere the wires are crossed We’ve got a bad connection, baby The signals nearly lost Maybe if you’d just move You’d get connection just fine But there’s only so many times I can try before I get tired We’ve got a bad connection, baby Somewhere the wires are crossed We’ve got a bad connection, baby The signals nearly lost This is bad connection And I can barely hear you We’ve got a bad connection There not letting us get through We’ve got a bad connection, baby Somewhere the wires are crossed We’ve got a bad connection, baby The signals nearly lost We’ve got a bad connection But the wires they aren’t crossed We’ve got a bad connection And this time it’s my fault [I’msorrysosorryI’msorrysosorry…∞] Hold on. Just stay right there. I am coming to you…

70 X 7 04:59
I pick at you, you jab at me [ I ] decide to hold my tongue At least until the end of this song I have my reasons so do you But I’m tired of being right At least I am tonight 70 X 7 Is enough for me… I will not whine or complain I will keep silent and let this moment pass away How can I let this moment just pass away?...until 70 X 7 Is enough for me Your silence says more Than my babbling brings for But someone has to break the tension Why don’t we agree to a bi-partisan apology And promise not to talk about this anymore? Until…70 X 7… Is enough for me…

Now we’ve heard all the rumors We’ve heard of all them silly wars But babe you don’t believe them It ain’t nothing we ain’t heard before Now we’re starting life together And we don’t wanna make no mistakes So let’s sign this peace treaty And make sure it all turns out OK Well, all I know is I can’t see a lab coat without thinking of you And, all I know is I can’t see a Honda without thinking you drive one too [So] let’s meet in the middle, honey It’s only place we’ll both be Honey, let’s meet in the middle There’s just something ‘bout symmetry Now if I did as I pleased You’d be picking up after me ‘til the end of time It’s the ten-thousandth time But I now that light bulb is gonna light Well, all I know is someday soon we’ll be waking up together at noon And, all I know is someday soon we’ll be singing the exact same tune Let’s meet in the middle, honey It’s only place we’ll both be Honey, let’s meet in the middle There’s just something ‘bout symmetry I’ll just keep talking my talk You just keep organizing around the clock I know 9 months is a long time But if we wait, it’ll turn out alright

I’ll never be on this side again I’m at the window lookin’ in And I would be lyin’ If I said I wasn’t scared I’ll never be on that side until I ask the question…I take a step And there is no use denying The next step is big Cause it’s the End of an Era Say goodbye to independence At the End of an Era There’ll be no more waiting No more asking when Our day my dear soon will come I’ll never be on this side again And I say that with no regrets Still all the while I’m fighting Thoughts that I’m not ready for this Cause it’s the End of an Era… Some say I’ve waited too long Some say we’re still too young Maybe I’m wrong and you’re right Maybe I’ll leave it in God’s hands tonight

Os justi meditabitur sapientiam et lingua ejus loquetur judicium Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius et non supplantabuntur gressus ejus The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom and his tongue speaks what is just The law of his God is in his heart and his feet do not falter

Soften my edges with your sweet countenance Help me forget what a melancholy state I’m in And how long can I stare deep into your eyes And still forget that I am learning how to lay down my life? If I said “I love you” Would that mean anything to you? But if a promise is broken Was is ever really true? Every difference in another chance for us to draw close Each misunderstanding is still better than being alone And how long till you and I will finally be I in You and You forever in Me? If I said… And I say “I LOVE YOU” I know it means so much to you And I give you this promise One I will keep my whole life through And I said it, yes I said it It wasn’t so hard to do And I said it, oh I so easily said But honey, there is so much more to love I am learning, still learning, Forever learning how to love you We are learning, forever learning, Together learning how to love…

Dinner for two Fancy restaurant Three years pass by So scared could not kiss her Stranded alone yet again tonight Sister and Brother Not yet lovers One and One Not yet one Bittersweet Lane passed by on their right It wasn’t their time but the timing was right They made their way home past Graceland Drive Spent all of their lives waiting… Filling the air Quiet conversation Restraining desire Choosing the best For one another for one more night Sister and Brother… Bittersweet Lane passed by on their right It wasn’t their time but the timing was right They made their way home past Graceland Drive Spent all of their lives saying goodbye And tonight will be no different… [oneandoneandnotyetone…∞]

about

On Christmas day of 2008 I released an album to the world. It was a present to my wife and I had been waiting two years to give it to her. It was a chronicle in song form of our dating relationship on up to our wedding day. Since then, other than her, my mom, and a few smattering of friends, no one has heard it. I now give it to you.

But there is a catch. This album has not been properly mixed or mastered. I did my best with my limited resources and skill level, but I'd like the opportunity for it to sound its best. Therefore I want to strike a deal with you the listener: Pay a cheap price ($4) for an hour long album and in return I will give you the fully mixed and mastered version for free once it is completed. So, once I raise enough money to take it to a professional, everyone who got the un-mixed/mastered version will get the shiny crisp new one. Deal?

Please feel free to check out the lyrics and commentary attached to each song as you are streaming.
