Loving You Means Everything

I'm married to my best friend. Sometimes it is very surreal. Life feels to wonderful - she does not pressure me to change. She loves me. But in our world that might be newly wed bliss (I'm not so sure - we've been friends for a very longtime and worked through alot)... I'm learning that loving someone mean with everything I have which sometimes laying down my past ways of doing things and pressing on regarless of consiquence. Tessa I love you. You are - "Miss full of good ideas!"


I'm laying down my worries all my past mistakes
I'm burning all the the bridges to my past escapes

I'm praying for compassion because some things have to change
Yes me and my priorities Yes things have to rearrange

See I don't lack desired or ability to run
Run right over everything and run right over you

I'm praying for compassion because some things have to change
Yes me and my priorities Yes things have to rearrange

So I'm begging for forgiveness and I'm hoping you'll agree
Because loving you means everything means everthing to me

I'm laying down my worries all my past mistakes
I'm burning all the the bridges to my past escapes

I'm praying for compassion because some things have to change
Yes me and my priorities Yes things have to rearrange

Electrified

This song was inspired by a Vena Cava sticker, a book on dreams, and Bob Dylan's record "Desire," The Beach Boys "Endless Summer," some magnets on our fridge that formed the words "Hold her hand with soft desire and say "yes" - let's always make forever tonight" (this quote was influential in Tessa and I deciding to tour this summer) and some song titles off a Safari's record. I'm excited about this song it's most likely the lead track on our new record "Welcome To The Future."

Enjoy:

"last night I dreamed of nothing but I woke up with desire to change the world (to change the world) To live an endless summer to spend all of our nights out on the road"

i'm electrified you electrify me
i'm electrified, i'm electrified

"last night I dreamed of nothing but i woke up with desire to change the world (to change the world) to live a true adventure to live the the greatest story ever told"

i'm electrified you electrify me
i'm electrified, i'm electrified

And I will hold her hand with soft desire and say yes
and we will ways make forever tonight
and i will hold her hand with soft desire and say yes
and we'll press on till our dreams come into sight

i'm electrified you electrify me
i'm electrified, i'm electrified

"Last night I dreamed of nothing but I woke up with desire to change the world (to change the world)
And I will walk and not run unil the day is done
I will take a golden minute and sit down
YES I WILL LIVE IN SIDE THE CONTEXT OF THIS MOMENT
and dance like i'm the only fool around....

i'm electrified you electrify me
i'm electrified, i'm electrified

The Cops

Cops like to follow our van and make my life interesting. Whenever thers is a behind me I get very nervious. Last night when I was driving home a cop almost hit. That was also scary. I wrote this song in Sutherlin, Oregon on with The Intolerants. The first story if from Sutherlin (2 of the last 3 times I've pulled in to Sutherlin I've been followed by Cops - and gotten stopped once) the second story is from Kansas.

Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops

I swear we just rolled into this town
So why are tailing us trying trying to take us down

Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops

Well I was sleeping in a parking log
They "They'll kill you boy on this very spot"
Then a few hours later there friends came around
They said, "Listen here boy. You best get out of our town!"

Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
Jesus, Keep Us Safe From The Cops
