Maybe I should just rename this thing Alex's musical blog of never ending songitude!


Not Your Lover

Like a car driving down the highway we push the accelerator
and feel our bodies pressed against the seat
But we can only go so fast because the end of this road
is a dead end; a one way street
The distance between us can't be measured in miles
because no matter how fast you drive, you still have to go
It's at that point where all things break down
and we realize that we are both covered in snow

I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone

The gleaming sweat off our bodies isn't really enough
to fool us into thinking you'll never have to leave
But just for these moments the heat coalescing
will let the truth go on to be deceived
A minute later it is Sunday and you'll be stepping out
back on the road to a place more like home
It takes a few hours for it to really sink in
and only then do I realize that we are both alone

I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone

I don't feel like a lover
No, I am not your lover

I can't feel like a lover
When you're not around
I can't feel like a lover
Whenever you are gone

Depressing songs pour out of me like...


CO2 - O

As I drive around in this old car
I remember all the places we went near & far
How you put your hand on my knee
And felt my muscles flex as we gained speed

CHORUS

But now this car is breaking down
It's getting loud and full of bad sounds
It is a collection of parts
With no place to go without it's heart

CHORUS

Now how do I go?
When I've lost all that I know
Everything is falling apart
And there is no repair

CHORUS

Never Ending Winter


Never Ending Winter

This winter is so cold and is going for far too long
It seems to last forever since the time you've been gone
My head is deep & buried under this mountain of snow
Like the boy without the paddle I can't find a way to go

And I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream

This winter never ends and it chills me to my core
It all started when she left and walked out through our door
Then the cold came rushing in and made all feelings into white
Like the world at the poles all day without any light

So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream

How can I live
Knowing what I did
I lost it all
And taken the fall

And I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
So now I know
I just let it go
I lost my dream
Let it flow down the stream
