Amy's Song 03:11
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

This Week 2 04:15
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

Faithful 02:40
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

Short Song 01:43
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

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

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

Disposable 04:48
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

Iowan Bird 05:13
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

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
