Track Name: Amy's Song
It's been some time
how have you been?
I'm coming back from work on algonquin
your back home this afternoon
and if your free I can be there soon
I know we've both been a bit stressed out
and we have plenty to talk about
you've done a lot for me now
I'd like to pay you back
I should pay you back somehow

I'd like to pay you back
I should pay you back somehow

remember the time
maybe a month its been
right after my maps and plans I had been broken
I explained and you said
That the fresh snow and homemade sleds (would do me well)
I know I crashed into you
I know I laughed but I swear i didn't mean to
you've done a lot for me lately
I should pay you back somehow Amy

I should pay you back somehow
I should pay you back somehow Amy

This week has been hectic and since
I have enough gas to make it to wisconsin
to your new home that you've moved to
If I left now, I could be there soon
I know were both under much stress now
and if your free before the day gives out
I would like to, stay with you
Track Name: This Week 2
I found that place we were looking for
that we had hoped so badly to go to
but this weeks been filled bad news
and right now I can't talk to you

so for a message you'll hear later
on a message you'll hear later on
to say I hope you get better
better once this winters gone
this house and this school
have put so much pressure on you

This week has been so stressful
This week has been so hard
I'm sorry I pushed you this far
I shouldn't have pushed you at all

Lately I've been struggling
with these expectations of me
and it seems we're going through the same things
(just handle it differently)

so for a message you'll hear later
on a message you'll hear later on
I'll say I hope you get better
and I can tell you how my week has gone
I found something to pour my heart into
but I was off by an ounce again, ounce again, ounce

This week has been so stressful
This week has been so hard

I know that things will get better
I'm sure we'll be fine
I know that things will get better
Its going to take time

This week has been so stressful
This week has been so hard on me
Track Name: Faithful
I've said to much again
when we're alone
shining no light on my own thoughts
I've used to many words
I need something simpler

These winter months have been
better then they used to
If I had your acceptance
I'd be forever faithful to you

I've rambled on again
in my search for the right words
leaving me so misunderstood
If I was right
I'd whisper something simpler

These winter months have been
better then they used to
If I had your acceptance
I'd be forever faithful to you
and I'd find a way to tell you
Track Name: Short Song
I'll be there soon and I know we'll reminisce
of spending our days stress free
like we did when we were kids
this years been hard
but none of us expected this
I was driving home when I heard the news
that he stopped breathing
and for a lot of my friends
this next week won't be easy

Babe, I have a short song for you
a group of melodies that you can listen to
to remind you I'm always here

Friends, I have a short song for you
a group of melodies in hopes to remind you
that if things go wrong you can always tell me
Track Name: Letters From Boston
I’ve been spending more time inside

now that the winter is here

and I wait for the sun to rise

or the mail to bring 
a letter sent to me

from a pad and a pen

more then a friend out east

and I am hoping

that this is more to you



I look through my room and I’ll find again

the letters from you in Boston

and I can’t wait to spend

the rest of the summer with you



I’ve been spending more time inside

now that the winter is here

and I wait for the sun to rise

I can wait for the seasons to change

and the summer can bring the warmth and the leaves
and you back to me



bring you home

to these suburbs of Chicago

bring you home



I look through my room and I’ll find again

the letters from you in Boston

and I can’t wait to spend

the rest of the summer with you



I can’t wait to spend

the rest of the summer with you
Track Name: You Don't Know How Precious You Are
A four leaf clover is tearing off a leaf to be like the others
I feel like I'm loosing another of my friends
to blend in like the rest of them

have you forgotten qualities unique to you
or has some misconception labeled them as imperfections
now that your ego is bruised

I've been there before
things aren't so bad
I'm content in loosing more
but it doesn't have to be like that
you're not like that, at all

why do have to change to be like them
why do have to change to be like them (like your new friends)
why do have to change to be like them
You don't know how precious you are
You don't know how precious you are

A four leaf clover is tearing off a leaf to be like the others
I'm loosing another of my friends
and I'm starting over again

why do have to change to be like them
Track Name: Disposable
My heart's set on traveling out from the city
in hopes that she'd show the same commitment back to me
even though the weather's cold, I'll go

got my maps out and my shoes ready
she says she's sure but says it hesitantly
even though my doubts have grown, I'll go

I try and ignore her criticizing (like she tells me)
in hopes that she'd show the same patience back to me
even though she's being cold, I'll go

things change so quickly
from a loved one to some pest to feed
I wear off so quickly
so quickly down to these broken knees

put my maps away and calm came slowly
things are sure and I most certainly am staying home
I feel so disposable
Track Name: Iowan Bird
Has insecurity forgotten about me
a beautiful sea of poison ivy
as if some sleep is all we need
I hope you don't see me as another
sheep from the herd of the others
summer's over
and we're left too tired and lonely to think clearly

I can see
from your eyes that your anxious to meet me
and I'm intrigued
your notes of biology
I've acted like another
sheep from the herd of the others
summer's over
and we're left too tired and lonely to think clearly

an awkward kiss on someone else's lips
an awkward kiss to someone I'm not in love with
Track Name: The Winter's Months
there's nothing here for me
the winter's cold and lonely
I'm ready to leave
I've had no sleep since you told me
sound dances around you

I hope you're alright
I know you'll be fine
I hope you're alright
I know you'll be fine

there's nothing that I can do
the winter's months surround you
I'm leaving soon
I've had no sleep since you told me
my doubts are so concrete I write
requiems for when you leave me

I hope I'm alright (you're gone)
I know I'll be fine
I hope I'm alright (you're gone)
I know I'll be fine

I still commute just as much as I used to
I can't forget you
a reoccurring dream
I hope I'm not off key
to these words you've been tangled
you're just like an angel
alive in my memory
In my memory
do you still love me
