My story starts off with a girl Alumni from the university basically a woman on her own I recall I first ran into her Serving up some nasty earthy tea I quietly commented On the Whitman she was buried in No clue what I was saying words kept on falling out a few assembled and i asked for her name there you go girl // You’ve stolen my day It broke my heart // when you asked the time // over and over again Cuz I don't want to // let you leave my mind So I'll find a way // to steal your heart // and finally // make you all mine Next week I took her out turns out she loves the classics we watched Of Mice and Men and then went downtown to eat she held my hand the whole night through she laughed at all my stupid jokes first date she found my heart Dear God how'd I let her in? Makes sense to always never // want to let someone close don't let your mind trample // all over your happiness just look at me and how I // let my love thrive within I just met her and want to give my life up

Dear Melissa check your lips your tongue is singing, "maritime" wipe your face of all that shock did you think we’d really last Sip my scotch dried on the rocks same ones we are headed for thinking back we should have known sailing blind to the unknown Mend the breaks // patch the holes What are we even trying for? Abandon post // Man the rafts In the end we’ll just fall short Set the sails, cut the anchors got no time to chart the maps compass spinning, south is north the stars are gone yet we press forth blame the captain, where’s our captain overboard with all the trust seems to me we’re bound loose so let’s cut ties and kill the booze Your tongue is dry and eyes so wide his darkened vessel nearing port Man the Canons! Sink ‘em fast their captain knew we wouldn’t last Mend the breaks // patch the holes What are we even trying for? Abandon post // Man the rafts In the end we’ll just fall short Set the sails, cut the anchors got no time to chart the maps compass spinning, south is north the stars are gone yet we press forth blame the captain, where’s our captain overboard with all the trust seems to me we’re bound loose so let’s cut ties and kill the booze

I walk outside // breathe in deep and smile The weathers passed // and I begin to wonder Was it worth // the countless night spent lonely? I thought she was // my one true source of happiness My mistake was letting go // giving up who I know Changed my life // before I knew who she was Tear me down // fix me up // these were hopes you always had I wasn't right //so who cares? Let me be Oh girl, you've got another thing coming if you think I'll Change the ways that I work and I think and I dress and I live You've lost your mind if you think you're what's gonna make me alter Every thing that makes who I am and who I've become Ever tried to build machines the way you want, once designed It don't work so why you bother my lovely bones don't fit that way Maybe try to fix the way you've got to have complete control It's an ugly color on your skin my patience is running oh so thin Oh girl, you've got another thing coming if you think I'll Change the ways that I work and I think and I dress and I live You've lost your mind if you think you're what's gonna make me alter Every thing that makes who I am and who I've become

I'm wasting away just thinking do I give up and settle down Find wife, kids, a dog and a fenced in yard A picture perfect nightmare Dad'd told me // that when I grow up this was the course // my life would take on And if you ask me // I will admit to not needing others // to make me whole Why should I have to follow a path I’m not ever wanting I feel like a locked up inmate force fed from this reality I found happiness in loneliness and solitude I was told I’d find it in others What a load of shit I don’t need anyone Call me loner, and call me a loser I've tried hiding these words in denial I’m done fighting, done complaining think it’s time that I embrace myself I found happiness in loneliness and solitude I was told I’d find it in others What a load of shit I don’t need anyone Parents preach and put the pressure Defining happiness It's only nature that joy evolves Its roots don't stay the same Tell my dad that I'm so sorry It's time I write my own life
