Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
These are lyrics that my cousin Patrick wrote. Most of them he wrote when he was 14-16ish. Hes now 19 and in an incredible band. You can listen to these songs from their own demo, which isnt as good as thier new stuff because they were young when they recorded it but the lyrics are still great, and you can definately tell they have talent.

listen to dreams a lot because its my favorite song!
December 26th
I miss you and it’s the day after Christmas
and you’re not here to keep my sweater warm
And I need you cuz you’re really into fashion\
and my tie still doesn’t match my shirt.
And I’m sick, sick of kissing the same person
Your lips are boring me to death
And I watch you,
you’re dancing and I’m staring
and my tie still doesn’t match my shirt
And your dress wasn’t made in a factory
You stitched each stitch with every bit of heart
You cried when it was tight and it didn’t fit right
But my God this music’s killing me tonight
And you caught me
This dance hall is against me
Your eyes met mine but they didn’t say hello
And this night’s cold and I’m walking home without you
And I look fine but I’m not on the inside
Maybe someday
When coats are not in season
Summer air will make us fall in love
And I miss you
And its the day after Christmas
And you’re not here to keep my sweater warm
To keep my sweater warm
And your dress wasn’t made in a factory
You stitched each stitch with every bit of heart
You cried when it was tight and it didn’t fit right
But my god this music’s killing me tonight
And my god this music’s killing me tonight
But my god this music’s killing me tonight
But my god this music’s killing me tonight
So sorry
Ill carry you to the oceans edge
And when the time is right
Ill let go of your hand
But im squeezing tightly right around your wrist
Raise it up to give it one last kiss
Open my eyes and to my surprise
You were sailing away on the SS Goodbye
You were smiling while I was gone
You were sailing on the SS Goodbye
So sorry
Goodbye
No one believes the bad times transpire
Looking back on all the happy times
Makes my heart hurt
Please don’t say goodbye
So sorry
Goodbye
No one believes the bad times transpire
Looking back on all the happy times
Makes my heart hurt
Please don’t say goodbye
Im losing sleep
You’re barely listening
Wish the phone calls weren’t so few and far between
Your interest is dwindling
I really hope you are missing me because
Im empty on the inside
Thought my voice says otherwise
Im empty on the inside
Thought my voice says otherwise
So sorry
Goodbye
No one believes the bad times transpire
Looking back on all the happy times
Makes my heart hurt
Please don’t say goodbye
So sorry
Goodbye
No one believes the bad times transpire
Looking back on all the happy times
Makes my heart hurt
Please don’t say goodbye
So sorry
Goodbye
No one believes the bad times transpire
Looking back on all the happy times
Makes my heart hurt
Please don’t say goodbye
This Sunset
Ive never been to Chicago
Im on this train at least
And ill never leave my old home town again
Cuz theres nothing like the city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
Light me up a cigarette on this old abandoned street
I think I might be here a while so you better make it three
And this phonebooth is getting cold
Because the sun has just gone down
And I know the first day here im tired of this town
Ive never been to Chicago
Im on this train at least
And ill never leave my old home town again
Cuz theres nothing like the city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
Light me up a cigarette on this old abandoned street
I think ill be here a while so you better make it three
And this phonebooth is getting cold
Because the sun has just gone down
And I know the first day here im tired of this town
And I know theres nothing like
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Ive never been to Chicago
Im on this train at least
And ill never leave my old home town again
Cuz theres nothing like the city lights
The city light
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
The city lights
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Maybe someday this sunset will set the world on fire
Dreams
Back and forth we play these stupid games but we used to be too good for that
Yea I call your phone just to let it ring so that I can year your voice so quietly
And we used to be too good to let others see our faults
But im losing this are we losing touch
Now I feel one step ahead and I can’t drag you along
You are too willing to grow apart, to grow apart
Held back these years will fly by we can’t slow down
Its time to step back when im down your up when im up you’re down
Now there’s a smile that fades and pierces through my back
I know you’re looking at me well darling im staring back
But it’s like you only laugh when im not around
And by myself I’m never lonely
By ourselves were never alone
It’s like you only laugh when im not around, not around, not around
Now you have one up on me but that’s all you’ll ever see because your mind isn’t open as wide as your mouth
Now you have one up on me but that’s all you’ll ever see because your mind isn’t open as wide as your mouth
You can’t speak what you feel
Yet I feel what you speak
Who would have known that being yourself would bring you to your knees
Remains of the fondest memories are locked up tight in the back of my brain where they are safe for tonight
No one is ever as lonely in a dream as they are in the light of people who think happiness is a word for trite.
No one is ever as lonely in a dream as they are in the light of people who think happiness is a word for trite.
No one is ever as lonely in a dream as they are in the light of people who think happiness is a word for trite.
No one is ever as lonely in a dream as they are in the light of people who think happiness is a word for trite.
Held back these years will fly by we can’t slow down
Its time to step back when im down your up when im up you’re down
Now there’s a smile that fades and pierces through my back
I know you’re looking at me well darling im staring back
Staring right back
