all that i make is for you to take and all that i make is for your sake i'll give all i got though it's not a lot it truly is my best shot i won't ask for much just fill my cup and when i sing don't interrupt as i have found something you might have lost it's a free ride i've paid the cost close your eyes have a drink and see what i give i give it for free...

Coming down again I've gone and forgot where I live And I can't find my keys I'm running with the breeze again Coming down again I've gone and lost my best friend And I can't find my keys I'm down on my knees again I know she'll forgive me But I can't live with me And me alone And she knows Coming down again Gonna drive this car right off this bridge But I can't find my keys And I'm always talkin' make believe I know they'll forgive me But they can't live with me When I'm falling All the time Coming down again I've gone and lost all my friends And now I can't find my keys I'm hoping they'll let me back in No I can't find my keys And I'm hoping this ain't the end

I ain't got no sweetheart I ain't got no sweetheart I ain't got no sweetheart To be there for me I'm a long ways from home I'm a long ways from home I'm a long ways from home With a long ways to go I ain't seen my brother Since I grew out this beard I ain't seen my mother Since drowned in beer I ain't seen my father Since my checks failed to clear And if it weren't for this mirror I'd think no one else was here I ain't got no sweetheart I ain't got no sweetheart I ain't got no sweetheart To be there for me To be there for me Be there for me...

She's more than a rose She's too much to hold She's more like a story That's never been told She slept through her days Only came out at night She's just like those questions You never ask right She might be a dream Like a cloud of mist In the back of your mind She's someone you miss And out on the streets Where the shadows They roam in the cold And there's no one to meet At home, so I go Out to find More than a rose She's never far She's never quite near It's only a picture That I keep right here She speaks to me Just like a ghost Whispering to go For more than a rose And out on the streets Where the shadows They roam in the cold And there's no one to meet At home, so I go Out to find More than a rose More than a rose More than a rose I guess I gotta go for More than a rose

I got stuck in a picture Taken of me when I was a kid A smiling face, winning a race That I won, oh, I won Now I'm looking in the mirror And it keeps getting clearer I'm losing you, there' not much to do Except watch, just watch As my whole life passes on Filling time, filling songs Filling up photos with faces I don't know Anymore, anymore And I won't be in that picture The one where you're wearing white Posing on the ocean, where new life begins I'll be lost, I'll be gone So, take your picture of me now
6.
At my door the leaves are falling A cold wild wind Will come Sweethearts walk by together And I still miss someone I go out on a party And look for a little fun But I find a darkened corner 'Cause I still miss someone Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes I see them every where I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry For leavin' what we'd begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone Oh, no I never got over those blues eyes I see them every where I miss those arms that held me When all the love was there I wonder if she's sorry For leavin' what we'd begun There's someone for me somewhere And I still miss someone and i still miss someone

about

This is my first Official E.P.. That said, this has been years in the coming. Lots of dead songs, skeletons, and friends lost along the way. But here is the beginning of a topsy tervy journey known as double j's music. There is no straight lines, only circles on circles. I know this sounds really out there, but i work in circles, leaving things along the way only to pick them back up again on my round-a-bout way. enjoy, with care, take care, peace, i love you all, and here we go....
