Crush

I've got a little story that I'd like to tell
I think it might happen to you as well
Wake up one day, the same as any
Meet somebody and you become pretty
Close companions spend a little time
Getting to know, their rhythm and their rhyme
"You're a lot of fun, where ya been my whole life?"
Start to feel funny, but you don't know why
Oh, please - It's not a crush!
Tell your friends, to just shut up!
Mind your business and just go away
They're convinced he's here to stay
So we hang out, we party real late
We talk on the phone, and you taught me to skate
You cried with me when things got rough
Know my secrets you've seen me huff and puff
You're so smart and so damn funny
Determined as hell, you're sweet like honey
Silly and free, when you drinkin' that rum
Can't stop laughing, you're warm like the sun
Okay, I might have a little crush
It's no big deal don't worry too much
No new last name, no wedding plans or kids (E eek)
This'll pass, be sure of it
I don't want to complicate, we're just friends
I see you with her and that's how it ends
But I feel this pressure, above my lungs
My veins are pumping like you fired a gun
I pretty feel sad when we're apart
Wonder who's under the spell of your charm
You're such a man and what a tease
Want you for myself that girl's a disease
Ah, Shit.. it's more than a crush
Cause every time you talk boy, my cheeks flushhhh
My chest is tingling and I've got to be real
it's time to tell you how I feeeeeeeeel
You're so hot, damn, so toned
What I wouldn't do to get you alone
Spend all day, spend every minute
Tangled in your arms and push the limit
My head on your chest and clothes on the floor
Where they belong boy, leave me wanting more
My partner in crime your my best friend
Want you by my side, until the end
Turns out he had a crush (Ou)
Now being with him's such a rush
I'm so happy and, I like him a bunch
And it started with a crush

I Come From a Place
04:34

I come from a place where you drive fast and you get there faster
Stop signs are optional there’s no risk of disaster
Tap the breaks, slow down and look both ways you see for miles
I come from a place we would hang out in the backyard
BBQ, play with the dogs, then we’d light up the campfire
Singing songs all night till all the neighbours gather round
I come from a place we would bike out to the old creek
Catching fish make promises we knew that we could never keep
But man, we were alive way back then
I did not know it at the time
That these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back each time
I come from a place we would walk out to the outdoor rink
Lace-up our skates pick teams, hockey playing until our cheeks were pink
And our toes were numb
I come from a place where my neighbour all know my name
They watched me grow up, throw the ball, they laughed when I learned how to drive
Got them back when I babysat their kids
I did not know it at the time
That these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back each time
I come from a place where the whole world shuts down at night
No one on the streets, no screamin’ sirens, speeding cars or bright lights
The sun goes down and it gets dark
I go back to that place, every now and then I visit
I catch up with old friends, you can bet that I miss them
That place will always be my home
Now I’m from a place where the trains fly through the sky
I live in a tall building, lookin’ down it’s really high
No one knows my name
I did not know it at the time
That these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back each time
If I settle down, I want my kids to drive real fast
To bike down to the creek, sing around the campfire in back
I want to laugh like that
I did not know it at the time
But these people and these streets would be the
Strings that pull me back

Changed His Mind (Again)
03:48
|

Just moved in two months ago
His feet got cold so he ran away from home
Here one day gone the next
Wonder why you better place your bets
Maybe I was too much work
Maybe he’s just a really big jerk
Maybe it was all pretend
Maybe he just changed his mind again
Not here for a long time
Or even a good time
Lookin' back it seems like we didn’t even try
It’s just too bad he changed his mind again
Remember that time we fought until dawn
All because I turned the radio on wrong
Hate it first, listen later, spat your dinner right on the table
Guess you changed your mind about that too
Not here for a long time
Or even a good time
Lookin' back it seems like we didn’t even try
It’s just too bad he changed his mind again
He wanted this but then he wanted that
No second thoughts just return it and start again
So he’s trading me in for something a little more shiny
Money-back guarantee at least he tried me
Not here for a long time
Or even a good time
Lookin' back it seems like we didn’t even try
It’s just too bad he changed his mind again
Could have been fate or destiny
Maybe he just didn’t really like me
Even after all the time we spent
How could he just change his mind again?

Bandmate Boyfriend
04:04

You came to all our shows and you’d talk me up backstage
At the end you’d take me home you did it every day
Showed me off to all your friends you brought me home to Mom and Dad
We may have had our differences but we got along on stage
Control freak at rehearsal no one’s good enough
Won’t stop till it’s perfect and you’ve argued with us all
Your difficult to work with and I think your songs are lame
Maybe it’s not working this whole bandmate boyfriend thing…
I will give you this you carried my guitar you tuned it
You paid of all the tabs, you were pretty good but you knew it
You wouldn’t write a song with me and you couldn’t take a joke
Failed to see my vision wanted to be on your own
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend
I couldn’t tell you what came first the chicken or the egg
Was it the Cat Murphy Band or was I sleepin’ in your bed
We’re nothing like Johnny and June Cash we couldn’t pull off Fleetwood Mac
This should feel like you’re getting kicked out of the band
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend who needs ‘em anyways, I just need my band
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend who needs ‘em anyways, I just need my band
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend
Bandmate Boyfriend, ex- boyfriend
I don’t need you man
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend
Bandmate Boyfriend, boyfriend …boyfriend

Our Story
03:25
|

|
Once upon a time that’s how all these stories start
There’s a boy and he falls for a girl
Now this girl is usually way out of his league
With a smile, so pretty it can make him do crazy things
They spend all summer beneath the stars
Wrapped up in each other they barely spend one day apart
They start laughing, loving they’re kissing and hugging
Could be more than a crush it’s easy to see that this romance
Will last more than these summer months
This is our story (This is our story)
This is our love (This is our love)
From the moment I met you
You were part of my soul
Now this is the part where the boy usually does something foolish
And he breaks that poor girl's heart right in two
She'll scream, she'll cry she’ll run down the road in the rain
But this isn’t one of those movies I’m happy to say
This is our story (This is our story)
This is our love (This is our love)
From the moment I met you
You were part of my soul
This is my promise (This is my promise)
For the rest of our lives (For the rest of our lives)
From the moment, I met you
Till the day that I die
Now these stories all end with a "happily ever after"
But our story baby is just getting started
This is our story (This is our story)
This is our love (This is our love)
From the moment I met you
You were part of my soul
This is my promise (This is my promise)
For the rest of our lives (For the rest of our lives)
From the moment, I met you
Till the day that I die
If you get so old you don’t remember my name
Just sit down beside me and I’ll tell you everything
