Little Songs

Iʼve got this little song
Iʼve had it for a while
and I hope it makes you smile
Itʼs not about our love
Itʼs not about your heart Itʼs just funny from the start
I donʼt to write a love song for you, but I will
Iʼm done with tiny songs
Iʼve made them for a while
but, I know they make you smile

It'll Be So Nice

I’ve been thinking about my old day job
and I’ve been driving a dreamy 90’s car
Out of money, and out of bells to ring
Soon as I get back I’m gunna start to sing
Over and over you gotta tell me just take a straight look twice
Under or up or down
I got you to talk to, and thats so nice
Im a coward, but Ive got jokes to tell
for an hour, come home to me and dwell
It’ll be so nice

Let 'Em Run

Isn’t there one thing you ain’t got figured out?
Isn’t there one thing that you just wanna shout, but you can’t?
Let ‘em run
(let ‘em run, on their own feet, let ‘em run)
I’ve got a switchblade to protect all my cash
I keep it locked inside the cupboard, in fact
I don’t need that blade anymore
I don’t need nobody’s help anymore
No I don’t
(let ‘em run, on their own feet, let ‘em run)

The People Say

Keeping up chins while walking away
out of sleep dreams while I make up my day
gotta keep tight to what the people say
Even out words when I gotta go play
pick up my car, gotta get to LA
gotta call back like a mockingjay
Every time I see you walking around
I feel fed up from this driving around
fall asleep, and I drown
but I gotta keep up with what the people say

Set It On Up

Wait in the car
I can’t wait to see you
Wait at the bar
I can’t wait to talk to you
Same little plan, walking around the whole day
Band’s out of sight, walking around ’til midnight
Do you all know how much i’m in love?
Please, let me show you how much I’m in love
Pick up the cans
Set it on up, the mic stand
Same little room
walking around to your tunes

Out of My Head
01:38

I’m going out of my head, and into the room
I think I’m gunna explode, cause I don’t know what to do
You say I’m alright, but I’ve got something to prove
I’m going out of my head, and into the room
You talk about me like I’m the worst thing town
like I don’t even know how to get around
you talk about me like I don’t know what to do
and I don’t, so it seems like you’ve got a clue
but you don’t
I’m going out of my head, and into the room
I think I’m gunna explode, cause I don’t know what to do
you say I’m alright, well I’ve got something to prove
I’m going out of my head and into the room
and into the room

Hello

First things first let’s call your mom
then we’ll learn to get along
after all the thinking’s through
then we’ll know just what to do
Hello
gotta get back to you
Hello
what do we like to do?
I have a broken hand but I can still be your man
happy to pick up your clothes
ride your bike with bloody nose
Don’t wanna get rid of all those hellos
and how do you doo-dee-doo’s
goodbyes, and how are you getting along
hellos, and how do you doo-dee-doo’s
goodbyes, I gotta get back to you
Hello
Hello

Conversation starter on the phone
you gotta ignore your face, you know? you know
writing out a letter for the town
you gotta let me back in right here, right now
when the time comes
Ooo
Take a little detour again
we head inside the Shake Shack for a treat
20 dollars on my little card
you make finances not really seem so hard
when the time comes
Ooo
