Skylark 04:29
LYRICS: The skylark says I'm older now cause I've been living alone - That no matter how hard I try I can't make my old house a home - But I said I knew myself best when I was young - And I thought I'd use the rest to keep my home-grown - And he said, "Little battles came and went" - "And my memories laid to rest" - "But the time you spent a kid" - "Leaves you broken in" - The skylark says I can't go back to the old days - That time must pass and every life runs a rapid pace - But I thought I'd squeezed that illusion dry - But in my memories I've kept the dead days alive - And it said, "Little battles bring you home" - "But it's time to let them go" - "And the way you stay on that vagabond train is by getting on board" - "So get right on boy" - "And say ooh skylark call my name and rest my head in shame" - "Say ooh skylark give me grace I'm falling on my way" - Little battles came and went - And my memories laid to rest - But the time I spent a kid - Leaves me broken in - And the hardest part of life - Is the rate we move through time - And the only way you can stay alive - Is through the art of getting by - The art of love and the art fight - The art of good ones by your side - The art of striving to survive - And say ooh skylark call my name and rest my head in shame - And say ooh skylark give me grace, I'm falling on my way

LYRICS: Find myself unable of backing off - Need my mind to get high on all your love - But I'm sure that I'll never get enough - Break my bones to do everything for you - Sell my soul whenever you ask me to - And I won't take anything but love - And even on my busy way - I see you all the time - With your coat thrown over your shoulder like such - And when you're gone, I go insane - And you're impossible to find - And even though it's madness - It really feels tragic now - Cause when I can't have you - Then what can I do? - Cause I'm crazy for your love - And when I can't have you - Then what can i do - Cause I'm crazy for you now - Home all alone and I try to pass the time - Wide awake, and I dream of just your smile - I don't know why, I can't get enough of you - Standing at your corner reading poetry - If I can't see your face then I don't want to be here - No, it's not worth the hold up - And even when you work all day - I'm trying hard to lie and say that I'm doing my thing, yeah I'm fine, no I'm fine, don't you worry about me - Cause possibly I'm robbing you of all the things you've got to do - I'm committing my crime and it's madness I tell you - Madness - But I gotta have it now - Cause when I can't have you - Then what can I do? - Cause I'm crazy for your love - And when I can't have you - Then what can I do? - Cause I'm crazy for you now - Stop no I can't stop no I can't stop - Cause I can't get enough, no I cannot - And even when I lose my mind - I know you're close behind - You're at my side in a blinking eye, every time - And even if the roads are blocked - I know you'll be my guide - Cause even though I'm madness - I know you love to have our life - I know you love to have our life - I know you love to have our life - And when I can't have you - Then what can I do? - Cause I'm crazy for your love - And when I can't have you, then what can i do - I'm crazy for you now - I'm crazy for you now - I'm crazy for now

THANK YOU'S
Thank you to the endless amounts of fans, followers, and families who have supported my work over the years; if only there was enough room to mention each and every one of you. Thank you so much, I owe it all to you. To David, I can't thank you enough for this album. It really was a true gift. Without you my work could not exist. Thank you for your devoted time, your patience, and your endless innovation. To Jenny, my symbiotic sidekick, thank you for contributing your refined tastes and opinions to this record, and for your love and laughter on a daily basis. To Willie, thank you for dealing with the countless hours of insanity, for being the muse for this album, and for giving me your heart and loving mine. To the true divas of New York City: Josie, Angela, Amanda, Melissa, Kiah, Jo, Ben, Andrew, Dave, Luke & Rahm, thank you for offering me your soul-bearing voices, your mystical vessels into the human condition; YOU MADE THIS RECORD. To Doug, Alex, Sammy, Mason, Andrew "A-Flock" & Michael, thank you for jumping into this work without question, and for your professionalism and permeability. To Chris, for your energy & enthusiasm at a much needed time in the process. To Maggie, thank you so much for your hospitality, for your patience, and for your infinite support throughout this long and difficult process, you made a house a home for us. Dad, thank you for supporting me selflessly without question for all these years; I can only aspire to be as generous a man as you. Mom, thank you for your continued emotional intelligence, and for biting your tongue even when I know it's not easy. RJ, thank you for graciously offering wisdom, guidance, and an extraordinarily high standard. And to all wide eyed beings, young and old, who feel insecure or undermined for who they are, I thank you for your individuality, ask that you learn to talk to people, educate them, and find strength in community. Thank you.
