A Good Idea
Verse 1
We used to be so timid
Don't know how we even spoke
Social life has a limit
We took it merely as a joke
Watching midnight movies
In the middle of the week
Ate pizza with anchovies
And discussed that the newest Dawson's Creek
Chorus
And I don't know if it's a good idea
but I really gotta see her
See her somehow
No, I don't know if it's a good idea
but I really wanna see her
I wanna see her now
Verse 2
At some point we parted
And life took its turn
I'm not sure when it started
but I had a lot to learn
And I haven't seen her
Since graduation day
I entered the cantina
And I never found the words to say
bridge
Take me back
to those days
If I knew what they meant
I would have done things differently

Losin' Track of the Time

Losin' Track of the Time
On the wall's an age old calendar
All those years that broke me down
And I dunno if I'll endure
another year that's spun around
Before my days came to me
Now they barely go
Because every day seems the same to me
They've been for three years in a row
I'm losin' track of the time
no matter the month or year I'm
slowly falling from my senses
I'm losin' track of the time
The days I thought were mine
turned out to be someone else's
(and I'm losin' track of the time)
My watch has stopped runnin'
collar hangs tight as a noose
When you stop letting the sun in
solar energy is just no use
Before I knew the days and months
any time of the year
But now I only greet them once
and then they disappear
Bridge
The days were passing by me
The days used to stand still
But when I look back on them
is the only whey I keep track of them
I have morbid minutes and hours to kill

Learned to Love
Verse 1
I've learned to love the sights of nature
I've learned to love the face of earth
I've learned to love a frickin' glacier
A valley womb that gave birth
I've learned to love the universe
I've learned to love the sky at night
I've learned to love that things get worse
until the moment you finally get it right
Chorus
But I haven't learned to love
the one thing I think of
The one I should love the most of all
it's true, I haven't learned to love....
Verse 2
They say that love is the answer
They say that love is the key
But I'm definitely more than sure
That it never really worked out for me
They say you gotta practice this
kind of love that's the greatest love of all
but the simple fact is this:
I'm not that lovable
Chorus
But I haven't learned to love
the one thing I think of
The one I should love the most of all
it's true, I haven't learned to love you

School of Fish Parade (Back to School)
Verse 1
Sometimes the past keeps re-surfacing
Like a school of fish in parade
And I just see no purpose in
Keeping up with the charade
Sometimes I feel I gotta
Use up my old-memory quoata
You told me you would recall
The events that meant it all
Even if they were rather small
Chorus
They say you gotta let it go
They say no one wants to know
what went on in the past
They say you gotta face them soon
All those mental wounds
that lay under this giant cast
Verse 2
I need to personify the past
turn it into a face
Open my eyes and remove the mask
Cut my ties and end the chase
For years I did wonder
But I finally found out what it meant
that abstence only makes the heart grow fonder
And familiarity only brings contempt
Sometimes it feels like I'm gonna
have a mental breakdown in the local sauna
You told me you wouldn't forget
Is that a promise or is it a threat?
Is it a vow or is it a bet?
Verse 3
So I'm starring you in the eyes now
A mirror that could never break
I'm facing all of the lies now
Meeting every damn mistake
Roaming round the same old corners
Thinking of the same damn things
Crossing all the same lame borders
Wondering what tomorrow brings
