In The Now 02:41
Verse One No watch on my wrist/ Just you on my arm/ Babe, no need for alarms/ The time is now no when no how/ Forever in a rush, we are/ Coffee in a cup, to go/ why not take our time/ Lay back recline let it cool sip it slow/ Chorus We live in the now/ We never know how/ It ever goes down/ I don't subscribe to the 9 to 5/ No not for me I'm not that kind of guy/ I'd rather sit in the house on the couch with you. That's my kinda vibe/ Far from responsible/ If you ring I'll respond to you/ I'm fond of you I'll cross the pond for you/ Not for denial it's not my style/ you see I live for the now/
2.
Labor 04:05
Chorus I got work to do girl/ For us to work it through girl/ But that's just labor/ I can't savor/ Verse One Said I'm sorry I annoy you/ You know you should have been a lawyer/ The way you judge, jury and execute me/ Details of my past flaws/ Are drawn like cards within your laws/ Any dispute seems to be mutiny/ See I apologize for what I am obliged to do/ In this gauntlet you call proof of love (Hay)/ I'll gladly gladiat you just to entertain you/ But when the blood is drawn the love is gone/ Sacrifice I won't, no crown of thorns/ And you want new heights to your occasions/ Chorus I got work to do girl/ For us to work it through girl/ But that's just labor/ I can't savor/ Verse Two Poetry in motion/ Captivated by two hearts/ That don't love in sync anymore/ So you question my intentions/ When there's no need for suspicion/ So what else is left to prove to you/ See there's no need to maintain what is no longer there/ I might as well let you have your way/ Resistance is futile in this situation/ If I don't fight I don't care if I do it's an affair/ Surely you want me to suffer/ Consequence is of no consequence for me anymore/ Chorus I got work to do girl/ For us to work it through girl/ But that's just labor/ I can't savor/

Foolish 03:24
Verse One Trouble seems to envy me/ Decisions so hard to make and she knows/ Knows I don't want her to leave but I can't seem to open my mouth so I go/ (Go ahead and make it so hard for myself ) Try man I try but I can't seem to get passed and it shows/ Girl you know I'm so weak and it's killing me girl it's killing me/ Chorus She was trying to be serious, but I played the fool// Wanted us to stay together, still I played it cool/ If I could just turn back the time, I could changed it all/ Now shes lost to me forever/ And it's all my fault/ Verse Two Help me I need your touch/ I need you so bad/ Girl understand it's not like/ I'm not /Trying to be in love with you/ Do I don't I want you I don't know but I'm trying/ To hold on to you I just don't want things to go all the way, all the way through/ How do I keep you and loose you all at the same time, same time/
4.
Just A Song 03:44
Verse One My life is all that it is cause I, cause I love it so much it makes me feel so alive I just can't describe it/ The very breath I breath is all about it cause I'm/ never letting go my body and soul/ Takes me over can't be with out it/ Baby what I'm giving you/ Is all of me and I want you/ To See, That it's natural/ I want you to hear/ Chorus This is just a song/ For you/ My dear/ This is just a song/ For you/ My dear, This is just a song/ Verse Two I hear it so loud and clear/ In my soul, It feels so right/ Please don't ask me to sway From this love, I have inside/ Baby it's just natural/ And it has a hold on me baby/ This music. Is my greatest gift/ To offer you/ Chorus This is just a song/ For you/ My dear/ This is just a song/ For you/ My dear, This is just a song/ Chorus This is just a song/ For you/ My dear/ This is just a song/ For you/ My dear, This is just a song/
