The basics would be me and my guitar playing stuff I wrote as well as the occasional cover, but occasionally there's a piano or another person involved.
This song is giving me problems right now but I can't stand it languishing on the hard drive anymore. Think of it as a first draft.
Lyrics
waiting on the avenue
walking south toward your door
i am dreading every moment that brings me
closer to you
it's not really admiration
it's not really a sacrifice
and i am no good at pretending i will
i will somehow be okay
i want you to hear me
i want you to see me out hear
i want you to know the truth before i
lose my nerve and walk away
strung out by early evening
choking on words i'll never say
i wish that i could shed this mortal skin and drift
a hundred thousand miles away
though none go with me through this
valley of the shadows
i know that some day i'll be through this and be
kind of halfway okay
and i need you to hear me
i need you to see me out here
i need you to know the truth before i
change my mind and walk away
we're just pictures at an exhibition
live and die by empty looks
if i sing my song loud enough
will you sit down and stay
and i am hoping you will hear me
i hope you walk by and see me up here
laying down my soul for you
waiting on the avenue
walking south toward your door
i cherish every moment
that i'm near you
