Sitting on the corner of Cherry St. and Main St. Where I first held your hand in mine Where I first kissed you and I first hugged you and I First announced my undying love for you Sitting on a bench where our love was destined to be Where I met you and you met me You smiled at me under the beautiful New Canaan sky And I fell really hard for you It was meant to be You and me On that bench in the middle of New Canaan Where I said goodbye and the new me awakened Where our journey started for millions of years to come I love you more than a teenage girl loves chewing on gum On that bench in the middle of New Canaan On that bench in the middle of New Canaan On that bench in the middle of New Canaan On that bench in the middle of New Canaan

I got a letter from the princess She said she made me a cake So I have to go to the castle and try this cake But there's no one here Everybody's gone It's only me And a bunch of toads There are all these rooms with a bunch of paintings One with a bomb, one with a fortress When I touch them it turns into liquid I peek my head through I see another world A whole brand new world One that I want to explore I'm in a castle filled with All these painting worlds No one to stop me and all these Brand new worlds to explore From a snowy mountain to a Sunken ship in the sea To a haunted ghost house to a Rainbow world in the sky I can't forget why I came here I don't know where the princess is Where in the world is my cake But god damn there's all these worlds I want to jump into them all Collect all these power stars And save my princess I'm in a castle filled with All these painting worlds No one to stop me and all these Brand new worlds to explore From a snowy mountain to a Sunken ship in the sea To a haunted ghost house to a Rainbow world in the sky I'm in a castle filled with All these painting worlds No one to stop me and all these Brand new worlds to explore From a snowy mountain to a Sunken ship in the sea To a haunted ghost house to a Rainbow world in the sky

It's all clear in my head A few hours after all this happened We had a fun day Swimming at a beach Laughing with my girlfriend and my cousins Eating at a place that sucks for a dinner date Though it sucked a lot less tonight Driving home, close to midnight A car veers off the road A suddenly awake woman tries to get back in control A terrified girlfriend and cousin scream The car hit a few guard rails The car spins around uncontrollably Wild, flaily, out of action Next thing I know, the car stopped And all I see is grass on the window Two people stopped to make sure we were okay I stepped out, saw my perfect car, now ruined Two flat wheels, the front bumper ripped off The entire side and back of my car dented All I could do is cry All I could think about how close I came to death How I saw my life flash before my eyes How I was almost certain about my final seconds on Earth And again, I cry, shooken up and scared from the events that occured on September 1st, 2012 I realize how short life really is And that God or fate or destiny or whatever Gave me, my girlfriend, my cousin, and my mom a second chance A second chance to live A second chance to do everything right A second chance to not take this sick sacred thing called life for granted

I've written songs about you This one's for you too Not that you really care like How I care about you You don't love me like you used to You don't care about me like you used to I could write another love song And oh it can go so wrong I could write about how I miss her I could write about how she's better I could lie right in your fucking face Like how you lie in mine Fuck you you don't care about me Fuck you you don't like my music You like his music better And I know that mine fucking sucks Why don't you break up with me So you can date his sorry ass He's a lot better than me And you know it's true I've written songs about you Way too many to count You don't care about any of them But I just thought I'd let you know Sometimes I fucking hate you Sometimes you drive me insane Stop lying to my fucking face I'm fucking sick of it You know about this song This one's for you too This one's for you too Fuck you, this one's for you too
6.
Happy what could've been One year of happiness One year of you and me One year of pure bliss One year of being in love One year of soaring high above One year of writing songs One year of video calls I guess it just wasn't meant to be None of it meant anything to me You're a candle glowing in the dark We lived very far apart Distance tore us away like Waves crashing, falling apart I loved you like a million diamonds I loved you like I hate almonds No corny simile will describe How much I truly loved you I guess it just wasn't meant to be None of it meant anything to me Happy what would've been Six months of happiness Six months of you and me Six months of pure bliss Six months of being in love Six months of soaring high above Six months I've written 19 songs Six months of video calls I guess it just wasn't meant to be None of this meant anything to me You're the subject of all my songs Verse, chorus, it can't go wrong You harmonize with every note Float better than a giant sailboat But we just weren't meant to be Your mother hated you and me I'm just not meant for love It's a shame but what the fuck I guess I'm just not meant to be Nothing is worse than me

I'm not with her anymore I'm riding solo, on my own Here we go, let's lock and load Three thousand miles of road New York to California Five days, I gotta warn ya I wanna see you, and I wanna kiss you Show you how my world's about you Roll 'em up, light it on fire It's a pain of no desire Pumping through inside of you I'm ending it with you too Cuddle down on the beach Ride the tram from up to south Take pictures, show our friends Find the house from Full House Golden Gate to the avenue Longview house, let's see that too Van Ness, Turk and Castro Divisidero, Polk, the Fillmore! Roll 'em up, light it on fire It's a pain of no desire Pumping through inside of you I'm ending it with you too There's something missing inside of me It's nothing you could ever see How you're not anything like her You're not the same, of that I'm sure Fuck this place I'm going home You're like carpal tunnel syndrome Fuck you yeah fuck you too I fucking hate your fucking guts yeah Roll 'em up, light it on fire It's a pain of no desire Pumping through inside of you I'm ending it with you too I don't miss you, no I don't No I fucking don't, no I really fucking don't

Gone 03:20
Gone, gone, it's all gone The days of my happiness The days of playing outside The days of my childhood If my eight year old self were to look at me now He'd say what the hell You dropped out of school and you look like a fool You had it all going and look what you did You ruined it all, threw it all down the drain Depression, bi-polar, and all that it rained You're a mess, you're a loser, pick yourself up No one will do it for you When I was younger I didn't want this To be a nobody, to be so worthless Growing up sucks I just noticed this now And all I can think is this Gone, gone, it's all gone The days of my happiness The days of playing outside The days of my childhood Gone, gone, it's all gone The days of my happiness The days of playing outside The days of my childhood Nothing to worry about Scraped knees to cry about Cookies and milk and Mom telling you stories Playgrounds and bicycles Speed bumps as ramps Nintendo and Playstation And peeing my pants We didn't worry about Having a girlfriend We didn't worry about Being late for work Carefree and joyful Happiness, bliss Everything asked for It all just exists It's all gone It's all gone It's all gone Gone, gone, it's all gone Forever a thought of the past Keep moving on, and let it all sink I'll never be happy again

I could be fucking dead And you wouldn't care I won't wake up And nobody will find me I'm not safe in my house I'm not safe in my car Because there is something there And it could be the end of me I ruin everything, and that's for sure I've done nothing right, and that's for sure I'm sick of everything I don't want to be alive anymore Your mother wants me dead Just because I did what will make me happy And I can't see you anymore I'll get over it, of that I'm sure I'll never love anyone again Not the way I loved you I did something wrong And you'll never forgive me I ruin everything, and that's for sure I've done nothing right, and that's for sure I'm sick of everything I don't want to be alive anymore I could be fucking dead and you wouldn't even fucking care I could be fucking dead and you wouldn't even fucking care I could be fucking dead and you wouldn't even fucking care I could be fucking dead and you wouldn't even fucking care
10.
All alone, I stand here by myself I'm done, nothing to keep me up Rain pouring down on my face Can't tell how many tears I shed Thought you were gone, a forgotten memory Still you lurk as a shadow in my mind All the pain and suffering I faced because of you You stick to me as good as super glue Kettle corn in a bowl Always crying over you You'll never understand Let you go six months ago Even though you're still in my mind Everything just crash and burn I'm lost without you here I never treasured the moments we had And we've come to another end And I know I can never be with you again Kettle corn in a bowl Always crying over you You'll never understand Let you go six months ago Even though you're still in my mind Everything just crash and burn Kettle corn in a bowl Always crying over you You'll never understand Let you go six months ago Even though you're still in my mind Everything just crash and burn Everything just crash and burn
11.
You are the love of my life And I never want to lose you I'd do anything To hold you in my arms right now On the first day that I met you I never would've thought that We were meant to be Now that I have you I never want to lose you And I always want to be with you Cause I love you Put me in a room with The most beautiful girls in the world You'd be among them with Movie stars and models, porn stars and former lovers And I'd still kiss you, I would only think about you No other girl would compare to how beautiful you are Your pearly glowing eyes that Luscious smile that implodes my heart And those are only two of the millions of reasons why I love you I could go all night and day thinking about what to say How I love your singing voice or the way you hug me when I'm sad Or the way you pleasure me when we're feeling really risky Last night I drove way down to Starhaven Avenue I lied on the grass wishing you were there with me too And I made myself a really thoughtful challenge For each star I'd find a reason why I love you It wasn't hard, it was actually really easy I confessed every little thing to the almighty sky I told her almost every single thing I love about you I ran out of stars and I couldn't tell her everything So I fell asleep and I talked to an angel I asked her to watch over you and make sure you were safe She came back a couple of minutes later She told me angels can't watch over other angels ....... you know I'm so in love with you I'll wait forever and I know that I'll really have to I'll be right here if you manage to forget me And I'll make sure everything goes perfectly If I could go back and change the things I didn't like Everything would be so goddamn fucking perfect But I know one day, time heals every wound We'll go back to being you and me

Everybody gather around, I'll tell you a little story about me It's about an awesome guy who had a girl who was so lovely He treated her right and gave her every thing she ever wanted But this relationship was turning out kinda haunted Nothing was going right and everything went to shit I did nothing wrong, nothing bad to admit The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her Everything I thought about is just one big giant blur The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her Nothing was going right and everything went to shit I did nothing wrong, nothing bad to admit The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her Everything I thought about is just one big giant blur blur Nothing was going right and everything went to shit I did nothing wrong, nothing bad to admit The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her Everything I thought about is just one big giant blur blur The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her The girl that ruined it is a fucking bitch and I fucking hate her

about

The second quarter of a 52 Song-a-Week project. Song-a-Week became real during these thirteen weeks. This EP starts out as trivial as the first, but then segues into an emotional downwards spiral of tragedy, with a near death experience and coping with the loss of someone I loved.

Weeks 14-26. From August 16th, 2012 to November 8th, 2012. The silly song about my friends, "I Stick Up For My Friends", to the Kerplunk! inspired punk song about my future son, "The Rings of Saturn".

This EP includes live hits such as "New Canaan Bench", "Starhaven Avenue", and "Wake Up, San Francisco".
