Home Demo Collection: Money til January

Posted: December 13, 2022

Released as part of the Home Demo Collection. This is an song I wrote, titled "Money til January". I wrote this song while looking back at a time in life where the life I was building at the time all collapsed on itself like a house of cards. I was 18 and living with some friends and life was great...until about 9 months later and we all realized it was too expensive and we couldn't keep making the monthly rent. So I had to move back in with my Dad. This song is about that time, and how sometimes you gotta go back to Square One before you can move forward again.

Bouncing

Verse 1:

Find me extraordinary
Very shameful gold canary
Amadeus writing Skynyrd
Freebird at Old Martha's Vineyard

Pre-Chorus:

Tonight, uh huh, alright, I'll make it
I will find a light, I'll take it
I will be alright, I'll fake it
I know how I write, create it

Chorus:

I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
Tonight

Verse 2:

Find me socks that hold some treasure
Or a girl's old loose thread sweater
It don't matter, it's for the better
I'm just looking through old letters

Pre-Chorus:

Tonight, uh huh, alright, I'll make it
I will find a light, I'll take it
I will be alright, I'll fake it
I know how I write, create it

Chorus:

I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
Tonight

Bridge:

I dive and sink beneath the sea
With sharks and minnows just like me
I kick and push and scream out loud
But the ocean absorbs the sound
I try and try and try in vain
But down here they don’t know my name
Will this be my destiny?
Drifting blind beneath the sea

Chorus:

I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
I'm bouncing on the ocean floor
Tonight

Pre-Chorus:

Tonight, uh huh, alright, I'll make it
I will find a light, I'll take it
I will be alright, I'll fake it
I know how I write, create it

Cool Breeze

Verse 1:

Stretching out the cobwebs in my head
Rolling over blankets glued to bed
Carpet knees crawling down the hall
Mirror, who’s the fairest one of all

Chorus:

Cool breeze blowing up and down my face
Taking naps for me ain’t no disgrace
Now I ain’t no easy one to find
‘Cause every time I see you I go blind

Verse 2:

Dreaming up the magic movies make
Finding all the scenes in just one take
Buzzing humming sing and I wake
Who cares if I got songs to make, songs to make

Verse 3:

Lazy daisy picker, so I’m called
Stubborn hard-nosed kicker telling all
Pulling sheets over 10 feet walls
All I’ve got to do is try to stall, try to stall

Chorus:

Cool breeze blowing up and down my face
Taking naps for me ain’t no disgrace
Now I ain’t no easy one to find
‘Cause every time I see you I go blind

Darlin

Verse 1:

Well whatever’s clever, darlin, what should I say?
I wouldn’t want it any other way
‘Cause I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

Chorus:
I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna make you smile
Won’t you come and sit next to me
For a while?

Verse 2:

Well it’s breakin me heart and it’s makin me sad
If it is you that cannot be had
‘Cause I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again

Chorus:

I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna make you smile
Won’t you come and sit next to me
For a while?

Bridge:

I am here
I am near
To you

Verse 3:

Like the tides in the ocean,
The needle to the dart
Time zones will never keep us apart

Chorus:

I just wanna make you laugh
I just wanna make you smile
Won’t you come and sit next to me
For a while?

Dysfunctional Love

Verse 1:

You don’t want to run, I don’t want to walk
You don’t want to fix, I don’t want to talk
You don’t want to stop, I don’t want to play
You don’t want to leave, I don’t want to stay
Aaa-aay
Aaa-aay
Aaa-aay

Verse 2:

You don’t want to spend, I don’t want to cook
You don’t want my stare, I don’t need your look
You don’t want to love, I don’t want to hate
You don’t want to kiss, I don’t want to date
Aaa-aay
Aaa-aay
Aaa-aay

Pre-Chorus:

You don’t want this
I don’t want that
But every time we part, yeah
We be running back

Chorus:

Hey hey
It’s dysfunctional
Dysfunctional love

But every time we part, yeah
We be running back

Highway Sun

Verse 1:

Waiting by the chapel
Pointing toward the ocean
Keeping it in rhythm
All the wheels in motion

Chorus:

Highway sun, on the run
Day fades night til morning light

Verse 2:

Piecing it together
Releasing all the leather
Burning up some rubber
Better than each other

Chorus:

Highway sun, on the run
Day fades night til morning light

Verse 3:

Needing all the pit stops
Feeling all the time clock
Stops only killing
What the deserts healing

Chorus:

Highway sun, on the run
Day fades night til morning light

Verse 4:

I’ll hear it at the ocean
I’ll find it in the morning
The beaches are calling
The road stops the stalling

Chorus:

Highway sun, on the run
Day fades night til morning light

I'm Here

Verse 1:

Bang, the flag is out
The light is green
I released her from, from my dreams
This is it, it's shoot or miss
She has to be the one definitely
I thought it right, we had our nights
But lessons hide behind those eyes
So she cried and I denied
That our love was just a lie

Chorus:

She made me come, she made me run
She made me realize what I hate
Now she's gone, I got it wrong
I want to drive into a lake
I know my heart won't break
If I just cut it out immediately
And you're telling me it's just a plan
I am here make me understand

Verse 2:

Yield, I must rebuild
Try not to feel but she can tear me like a peel
So I cried, and she denied
That our love was something real
I ran away, I hid for days
There was nothing I could say
So I prayed, I asked Him why
What was I supposed to realize?

Chorus:

Verse 3:

Stop, the race was won
I fell behind, I lost at the sound of the gun
I got a ride from her one night
But it was just to be polite
She led me on though I was done
I couldn't take it anymore
I called her out, I left with doubt
Now I'm standing at her door

Chorus:

Interlude:

Oh, I'm here
Make me understand
I'm here, I want to understand
I'm here, I'm here
But I don't understand

Chorus:

Kelsey to Timbuktu

Verse 1:

She knows where to go, her bags are packed
She knows what to say ‘cause she’ll know who to ask
Her book at her side, her life is a line
She’s pacing the streets in the heat of the time
She’s got time
She’s got you
You got her
Her got you

Verse 2:

She can flee to Timbuktu
And I suppose that I could too
I’m praying for words, I’m praying for song
I’m needing a guide to get along

Chorus:

With the sinners, the winners, the midnight dinners
And the callers, the fallers, the some street hollers
The cold, the old, the poor and the gold
The wisdom, the isms, the nights he’s risen
I got time
I got you
You got me
Me got you

Verse 3:

Can say what you will, yeah
You will what you say
You needed to make your prayer today
So what do you need, and mean what you want
And get out of bed and face the front

Chorus:

With the sinners, the winners, the midnight dinners
And the callers, the fallers, the some street hollers
The cold, the old, the poor and the gold
The wisdom, the isms, the nights he’s risen

Chorus 2:

And I know, and owe ‘em, and love to show ‘em
And I meant to, so thank you
For all these things like stars and Mars and marbles and cars
And pinks and links and babies that stink
You got time
You got him
He got you
You got he

Chorus:

Money til January

Verse 1:

I got some money
Til January
I spent all this time
On the sidelines
Might take on it all
You can’t stand while you fall
So I said to me
Might as well take what’s free

Pre-Chorus:

I just stepped up to a phone
Called collect and dialed home
Didn’t shake or break or bust in two
Kept composed and called on you
You didn’t blink or wink or roll your eyes
You said ‘welcome home boy, come inside’
It’s time to start my life again
Time to show what I mean to them

Chorus:

I will light faster than a gas can
In the heat of the desert sand
I will shine brighter than the sunlight
Leap into, light up on a dark night

Verse 2:

I took on it all
Head down, did not stall
Blurred lines between my dreams
And reality
That place can't sustain
House of cards built in vain
So I said to me
Think back to January

Pre-Chorus:

Chorus:

I will light faster than a gas can
In the heat of the desert sand
I will shine brighter than the sunlight
Leap into, light up on a dark night

Moon Over Tucuman

Verse 1:

Twilight
Falling deeper into warm night
Big moon
Up out of the east, shine bright
God paints
Sunset on remaining daylight
Scarlets and violets in sight

Verse 2:

Children's
Laughter reverberate from the lake
Laugh of
Tomorrow's plans they'll make
Smoke from
Campfire burnin' hot at eight
Crack-a-lin' and poppin’, flames break

Chorus:

In my mind, take me back, oh yeah
In time, we'll be back, oh yeah
In my mind, take me back, oh yeah
In time, we'll be back, oh yeah

Interlude:

The moon glows
On this world I know
Where the concrete goes
On for miles
But my smile
Is a world away
Set on yesterday
When the cool wind made songs in the pines
Like words so wise
I would listen to find
Words that run and hide
I’ve got to get away, got to get away
These days
Memories made
Start to fade away

Chorus:

In my mind, take me back, oh yeah
In time, we'll be back, oh yeah
In my mind, take me back, oh yeah
In time, we'll be back, oh yeah

Sleeping But Not Dreaming

Verse 1:

Summer spiders roll up their webs
And leaves they fall and trees they dead
And you’re sleeping
But not dreaming

Verse 2:

Well autumn is here and you’ll stow away
Like the honey bees at the end of the day
And you’re sleeping
But not dreaming

Chorus:

Like to say in my way it’s okay
If you want, when you want walk my way
A new way
A new day

Verse 3:

Revisit a dream while lost in thought
Brush away the leaves ‘fore it starts to rot
Now you’re dreaming
And not sleeping

Verse 4:

Never cease to dream ‘cause that’s all we hold
That and our youth, but that’ll go
And now you dreaming
And not sleeping

Chorus:

Like to say in my way it’s okay
If you want, when you want walk my way
A new way
A new day

Slumber Queen

Verse 1:

Slumber Queen there's a look in your eyes
Telling me you'll see the sun rise
So soon
Mmmhmm

Verse 2:

You're wound up in a dizzy gaze
Twisted ‘round the turns of a crazy maze
Spun around
Mmmhmm

Pre-Chorus:

She said she saw the light
In the dark of night
And though she could not stick around
She said her heart had been found

Verse 3:

All your walls crashing to the floor
As you say you've never felt this before
New to you
Mmmhmm

Pre-Chorus:

She said she saw the light
In the dark of night
And though she could not stick around
She said her heart had been found

Chorus:

She's a girl and her world's a dreamy place
Graceful in her touch with a touch of grace
Gliding slightly unguided in her freehand form
Slumber Queen's feet finally felt the floor
She could be like a leaf on the breeze
Casually encountering all the world she sees
But cavities of gravity in spoken word
Opened the queen's eyes to her flighty nerves

Tell Me I Love You

Verse 1:

"Are You in my heart?" I'm praying all the time
Keeping all the faith but never stretching mine
Look inside my eyes and tell me what You see
From the deepest part I hide, yeah look inside of me
I wonder like a fish who wonders about the air
I start to think like this and wonder if You're there
Who will tell me when and when will I know who
The answer's always been that I've been needing You

Chorus:

Tell me I love you, tell me and I'll love you
Tell me I love you, tell me and I'll love you

Verse 2:

Here I am again, the world has jaded me
Will I see the forest instead of just the trees?
What slippery slopes we walk, what tangled webs we weave
What will I become if all I think about is me?
Though the dust is thick and the mist is all around
I know that I will hear your words that never make a sound
Your Light will light my path and You drop another clue
My words are incense from the censer rising up to You

Chorus:

Tell me I love you, tell me and I'll love you
Tell me I love you, tell me and I'll love you

Traces on Paper

Verse 1:

Someone disguise the sky
To look like all the rest
The moon, tides, sunrise
Depleted at the best
Yellow, greens and reds
Kings and queens, the press
Turn 'em all brown instead
Bear a single head

Chorus:

Oh I don't know how the story goes
Wearing someone else's clothes
Put on this tie and here's your name
Someone out there they want us all the same

Verse 2:

The looks, the books, the talk
Even the way we walk
The shoes, the job, the stare
The laugh, the goals, the hair
Preach to change, to change
Always stay the same
Someone there to blame
Oh There's pain because of change

Chorus:

Oh I don't know how the story goes
Wearing someone else's clothes
Put on this tie and here's your name
Someone out there they want us all the same

Verse 3:

Shots on the side all night
Only way to fight
Saddest way to go
In the eyes it shows
Give up, give up, OK
Forget it I'll pass, good day
Let us stay the same
I will pray for change

Chorus:

Oh I don't know how the story goes
Wearing someone else's clothes
Put on this tie and here's your name
Someone out there they want us all the same
Traces on paper are all that's left
Men and women just left a sketch

Post-Chorus:

They're the same
They're the same
They're the same
The same

Chorus:

Oh I don't know how the story goes
Wearing someone else's clothes
Put on this tie and here's your name
Someone out there they want us all the same

Post-Chorus:

They're the same
They're the same
They're the same
The same

Walk the Tracks

Verse 1:

Break-neck speed here I go
There’s no stopping this
I watched the countdown to zero
Learning the price of easy bliss

Chorus:

Down at the bottom I found
So much I didn’t know before
Good news...I can’t lose
I’m not keeping score

Verse 2:

So many nights to remember
So many memories I can’t find
Tell me I can do so much better
You must be talking to some other guy

Chorus:

Down at the bottom I found
So much I didn’t know before
Good news...I can’t lose
I’m not keeping score

Solo over Chorus (x2)

Verse 1:

Break-neck speed here I go

I’m not keeping score
