not sleeping anymore

so, what's changed

so, what's changed.
I saw your photo on the screen, you still look the same-
bangs brushed with sweat off your face,
swinging your guitar like you're Ben,
but your solo was off pace.
I see you’re chasing your dreams
I’m living mine.
it’s not as good as it seems.

after all these years
I can still write you a song.
blurred images and used words
all i have to go from
so what has changed?

some people write about love

guess I’ll change the words before I'm done.

so, what’s changed.
still get your news from tv and read books about things you can't see?
they all want you so bad.
it always cheapened it for me.
I see your chasing those dreams
I’m living mine
are you as lonely as me?

so, what’s changed.
do you remember my first time,
you came to see me play
I dropped my pick on the first song-
you still clapped. you were good that way
if just that way
I see your chasing your dreams
I’m living mine,

it's not as good as it seems.
some people write about love.

bumped knees under bar tables
I miss you, like (we) did

list 1

how to become an indie rocker.

1. purchase navy blue hooded zip jacket, one size too small.
2. grow facial hair. beard is not a must, as long as facial hair appears excessive or unruly in some way.
3. wear your under shirt as your over shirt.
4. talk about yourself, your band, your music, your ...
5. be modest about your brilliance.
6. pretend like it's cool to be uncool until you actually see someone being uncool. then treat them like they really are uncool.
7. re-read number 6 replacing the word "uncool" with the word "awkward".
8. sensitivity is key. (well, at least while other people are in the room).
9. note that you aren't actually required to care about the people reffered to in number 8.
10. fall madly in love with one girl. one girl only. this girl should be one that you treated like absolute shit before "tragically" loosing. you will never, never love anyone again.
