1.
i'll meet you where / the earth meets the sun and the weather is warm because / the scene just seems so much nicer way out there / you've got nothing to lose / I've got nothing to prove / except a love for someone just like you. you've got sky rise buildings and a place to call your own / the downtown city life compliments your closet full of clothes / with your shades and your shoes and your trendy to-do's / you'll hit the sidewalk, the best stores and restaurants / looking for something new. oh, don't you worry / just smile and do your thing girl cause I'm on my way out and i'll be there in the morning / come on come on, i'll keep running til' i burn out the sun / i'll find my way, yes i'll be damn sure to find my way. come on come on, lets keep running til' we burn out the sun sun / and make our way down every street til' we / get back home.
2.
girl, you've got my head tied in a knot / and i swear it's coming undone / with every word unsung / boy, there's something special in / the way you lift and rest your hands / as if a string held them instead. and so we'll sing another tune this june / one to reconcile the feelings that we'll lose. i'll invest in two cans and some extra string / hoping that you'll still talk to me / even though you're an entire life away / and with those two cans and that extra string / i'll hear your voice float back to me / points A to B and everything in between. boy, i never knew this day would come / when i'd hold my end and just run / back home where i came from / girl, i'll watch your plane fly from my eyes / with our line tagging close behind / just keep a strong hold and we'll be fine. i'll hear your voice again / don't change your mind / don't change your mind.
3.
here's one for all the afflictions / that carry us in different directions / like space and time / while keeping common sense in mind / it took half a year for us to get here / and two weeks to reverse all the shed tears / i don't know what to say / except ok. well my head keeps spinning round / just waiting for the world to slow down / but there's no stopping it / what life brings no one knows / except a god damn fork in the road / where you finally said / i'll take right and you'll take left. it's fine we'll leave "what if's" for a different mind / and leave the "what was" far behind / it's ok the memories are sure to fade someday / cause in a few months we'll wake up / with bigger hearts and a bit more luck / lets keep our step moving quick and direct. where do we go from here?
4.
congratulations you've pulled the moon out from underneath / the warmth of your bed and the safety of those lonely sheets / that gave us our oh so needed sleep / rest in peace / when our bodies finally go we will see / two lovers' overzealous need / for the evidence of what truth really means. up on this hillside with silent repose / you held my hand as your breath condensed / and escaped on the cold / and i kissed you / no words could explain so i closed my eyes / and let the moment fade away / and when our bodies finally go we can say / that we're two lovers who could love so plain / and live honestly for the rest of our days.
5.
hello friend it's nice to meet you / by chance do you have the key to my heart / cause i've been searching all my life / for someone like you to chance upon / these anxious glances have gone on / far too long for me. well tell me dear do you like to fly / cause if you do a plane is what i'll buy / i'll carry you above the clouds / and if your hands tremble at that height / well then i'll bring that plane down / and we'll just watch the clouds from the ground. one by one we'll fall in love / and two by two we'll run / day by day we'll live apart / until we call each others' hearts home. every day it's all the same / and every day there's something else to blame but myself / i bet if you were here my life would change / so why not dear just come and stay / i've got a made up bed and a loving heart that's sincere. hello airplane / can i ask where you're taking me / can i ask where you're taking me / hello airplane / i guess you're right i need a change in scenery.
6.
you walk alone at night / with your hands kept at your side / you're smiling so polite just waiting / for him to call your name / catch up and meet your pace / i swear he'll play your games. and just this once / you'll let him in / and just like that / you'll push away again. don't lead him on / cause he'd love you either way / don't hide your face / cause things will never change. but that doesn't make it ok. he'll talk alone this time / stuttering with every try / just waiting for her to speak / but there is truth behind that smile / cause she's a damsel in denial / she isn't all what she seems. but that doesn't make it ok.

about

This is the Love So Plain 2011 Digital Re-Release. The album includes remakes of all 6 original Love So Plain tracks. In support of the Creative Commons movement I have now made the album free for download and will continue to do so with any subsequent albums. However, I only have a limited amount of free downloads on Bandcamp and as an artist writing music isn't free. So any value of contribution goes a long way in not only supporting me, but also the future of independent music! Enjoy!
