There's Still Time

The beeping noise ringing in my ears
Awakens me and brings me to tears
That's when it hits me like a knife
This hell that is daily life
I wish I could spend more time here
Where worries are gone and stress disappears
I know it soon will all fade away
And I must go and face the day
But there's still time, I realize
The day's not begun
The sun didn't rise
Time to lay there and contemplate
What went wrong yesterday
Here there is no boss to impress
Here I don't have to pass any test
When I'm here it feels like I'm in heaven
To bad I must leave here promptly at seven
But there's still time, I realize
The day's not begun
The sun didn't rise
Time to lay there and contemplate
What went wrong yesterday
Forgot to hand in that last report
The wife hates me she wants a divorce
But none of that matters you see
Cause when I'm here nothing can hurt me

Where are You?

I sit alone
In the spot where we first kissed
It has gotten much colder
Since the last time that I felt your lips
Last time we were here
I just held you so tight
But it's been a year
Since that warm summer night
And we've gone our separate ways
To do our own separate things on our own separate days
And I thought it was just a phase but I could be wrong
My life is back on track
I've tightened the slack
So why am I still feeling blue
We made a pact
That we would both come back
Well I've been true baby where are you?
We were so in love
They say all things must come to an end
But I won't give up
Until I have you back again
And we've gone our separate ways
To do our own separate things on our own separate days
And I thought it was just a phase but I could be wrong
My life is back on track
I've tightened the slack
So why am I still feeling blue
We made a pact
That we would both come back
Well I've been true baby where are you?

Why are you so nosy
Why must you always stop and see
Other people's misery
Don't you worry, I'm not in a hurry
Does it make you happy
Does it make you feel alive
Is it pleasing to the eye
Rubber necker what the heck are you doing
You can see
Police lights flashing in the distance
An accident you can not miss this
You've got to slow down
I'm always leaving early
To beat the long rush hour drive
What a total waste of time
Rubber necker was the wreck worth watching
So I tune the dial
To get the traffic on the nines
Says everything is moving fine
All this hot air's coming out of nowhere
You can see
Police lights flashing in the distance
An accident you can not miss this
You've got to slow down
So you hit your breaks
On the L.I.E.
Red lights flashing
Fast approaching me
Now everybody else
Is slowing down to see
The rubber necker's wreck and me

Where the fuck is Ryan Murray?
I heard he was talking shit about me
Don't you know you can't fuck with me
Or my family no, no
If you don't tell me where his ass is
I'm gonna pop a cap in your asses
Even that tall kid over there
I just don't care
Ryan Murray's gonna die
On the 4th of July
I heard he used a baseball bat to
Knock out all of my brother's teeth, you
Cannot be serious right now
Just tell me how
Ryan Murray's gonna die
On the 4th of July
Gonna shoot him in the eye
Cause Ryan Murray's gonna die

Hate it Here
06:32

I can't stand this place
Every corner's a discrace
Of people who just don't care
Broken houses everywhere
There's trash out on the street
Broken glass on the concrete
It covers every block
Cracks all over the sidewalk
And I can't get away
Walk the same path everyday
Past all the debris
As I tread an angry sea
Of poverty and shame
People with someone to blame
But how can I feel bad
When you act like such an ass?
And I just hate it here
Living in a state of fear
Don't say things are gonna get better
The more I stay the less it seems to matter
Cause each day I see my hopes shatter
But I'll wait to watch the pieces scatter
Confusion's in my brain
Thoughts are causing so much pain
I'm lonely on my own
But I just wanna be alone
See I made my own bed
But I can't sleep in it instead
I toss and turn all night
As my thoughts and mind collide
And I just hate it here
Living in a state of fear
Don't say things are gonna get better
The more I stay the less it seems to matter
Cause each day I see my hopes shatter
But I'll wait to watch the pieces scatter

Autumn

The sun sets sooner with each new passing day
The summer's almost through
And soon we must each go our separate ways
But please do not feel blue
And it isn't fair that the sun should set
On days so good as these
But when we part please don't forget
Me like the trees forget their leaves
And before you know it
We'll be back together
Cause you know the time flies by
And although I'll miss you
I know I will move on
Or at least I know I'll try
I mean what I'm saying from the heart
Don't think of this as an end
Cause no matter how far we are apart
You'll always be my best friend
And before you know it
We'll be back together
Cause you know the time flies by
And although I'll miss you
I know I will move on
Or at least I know I'll try
And it's such a shame
Things will never be the same
Why's it have to change?
It's all moving to fast
And when you feel alone
Just reach for your phone
After the dial tone
We'll be together at last
So now it's time to say goodbye
As the color leaves my day
The tears swell up in your blue eyes
Blue skies they turn to grey
Oh baby I love you
You know what you do to me
Day after day
I can't stop thinking of you
But this love is new to me
So show me the way
And I've been here many times before
But I've always fallen down
And skinned my knee
But I'm not afraid anymore
Cause I will not hit the ground
Before you catch me
And I don't know
Where our love will go
But if love is real
Then it's how I feel
So nothing else should matter anyway

Tom Meyer New York, New York
I've been playing guitar and writing songs since 2004, when I was in 11th grade. I have since learned to piano and how to record music in a way that isn't offensive to people's ears. I try to combine my snarky, tongue-in-cheek humor, with my somewhat acceptable musical talents to make almost comprehensive songs. This page is the culmination of those efforts. Let's hope I've succeed! ... more
