jake wrote the first verse for his ska band. i borrowed the words cuz i liked them and wrote more. don't listen to mine though. they just rhyme.

Jacob:
sometimes i lie awake all night
thinkin about all the wrong that could be right
sometimes i sit and think for hours about what means so much to me
but isn't it funny how it always seems to end up
me feeling bad about things that aren't even messed up
then i wonder what the future's gonna be like
whats tomorrow gonna bring
then i wonder do i take each day for granted
do i even think enough about today
sometimes i look at everyone and the role they play in everyday

J Wo:
black jack come one hit a deuce
sitting around wonderin whats the use
sick and tired of pointless abuse
i'll be back again with my excuse for you
another time another season
another day without a reason
like that shampoo my sister leaves in
im back on trial again for treason
like general arnold- you know Benedict
i need a treat but maybe then a trick
firing squad hold my breath but then im hit
i refuse to sit the bench so then i quit
this silly game you kids insist on calling it my life
its not about some house some job some kids some cash or wife
sometimes its about puttin down the knife
and living day to day again
admitting that its gay and then
step back up the plate but when
you're feeling like you need a friend
cuz things have gotten way too hard
and grownups say its all a part
of life, and somewhere in my heart i wish i had a deck of cards....

J Wo:

once upon never on this pointless endeavour
i set out with my brother on a journey to forever...
but i never wondered whether
its been different since i met her
maybe it was better
better that i let her
mess me up? well once or twice
its about time i get on with my life
im tired of looking backwards
wondering if i did it right
but thank you all so very very much
for your advice
see not to many people
see who i am in my heart
i keep myself inside me
just in case it falls apart
its still not getting better
why is this so goddam hard
its been a fun ride
but its time for us to go
i'll keep y'all by my side
but you'll never ever know
how very hard i tried
she lied
she even told me so
and i'll be here til the day i die
i'll never let you go
you're all too special
all to sweet
i hope it still feels the same
when next we meet
go and lose your head
but be sure and keep your feet
love is something special
its a trick and still a treat...

but everything- everything's fine
everything's fine
everything- everything's fine....
