when you speak in your tongue, girl i do not understand, i do not understand and how are we to make this work, girl i do not have a plan, i do not have a plan all of that just disappears when i hear the way you say you love me the light that fades it then shines anytime any place you say you love me when you smile in covered hands, girl that's when i first knew, i fell in love with you and when your speech starts speeding up, girl that's all you have to do, i know you feel it too reflections in the lake the stars it's you it's me you hold me the fireworks flash and dance on the waves behind the house where you first told me when you're wearing that white dress, girl the way you twirl and spin, your beautiful white skin and when you're dressed in black and red, girl i lose myself again, the most beautiful sin the colors play their games in my mind i don't mind all the time it's so pretty something so familiar in your eyes recognize someone long forgotten say it's fine say it's alright say it's goodnight and not goodbye say goodnight say goodnight say goodnight say goodnight i know that we can make this work, girl i see it in your eyes, i see it in your eyes

sky's ablaze and everything that april brings music paints the colors burst and bloom in spring long the day the one that's blue and gold and green so let's just play 'cause you're the only one i see see you in that light again i need this now first is up then always down i need this now i need this... by the bridge an image flashes in my head two kids jump then suddenly we're back in bed but what's it mean to live forever in suspense but here today let's pretend it makes no sense see you in that light again i need this now first is up then always down i need this now i need this... is this how we live forever, love? is this how we'll be remembered, love? is this how we live forever, love? is this how we live forever..?

do you remember the words that we meant so long ago and how does time slowly dull them til they're dead i still meant them i still mean them do you remember the way the moon drew shadows underneath the bodies that once held hands in the dark now they're apart now they're apart you are all that i need do you remember the world the colors dancing 'cross earth and how does time slowly drain them til it's grey til they're washed out now they're washed out do you remember the hearts pink and blue sidewalk chalk why does time always take away the child i still feel him i still feel him you are all that i need

you say lost the one looking out for everyone and i feel like i've wrote this song 1,000 times before there's only so many words you can rhyme with 'adore' but that don't mean that i don't love you anymore you know should i tell you so you say you sit waiting for the right one to come along and all of these years i've just watched riding the wrong there's only so many chances you get to get on but that don't mean that i won't miss you when i'm gone you know should i tell you so
5.
i saw you outside springtime '99 can you still see the crowd everyone gathered 'round sky ignites midnight take your hand take flight can you still feel the rush hope no one catches us it was the first time for either of us give into the moment i will not let this go for the first time for either of us a torn white springtime dress and grass stains on your knees a thousand memories 2 AM time flies one last kiss goodnight whisper soft something sweet turn around as you leave i knew it right then couldn't sleep risk the end would you say when you wake yours to give mine to take it was the first time for either of us were we young and stupid did we take on much too much for the first time for either of us you told me something pretty then fought off sleep's advances then you were gone racing minds don't mind it and sleeping's for the dead but what i wouldn't give to have you here next to me in bed racing minds don't mind it and jumping's for the brave but what i wouldn't give to hear you sing to hear you sing my name it was the first time for either of us it wasn't just the moment i meant what i said for the first time for either of us your smile was all i needed and i knew that it was real for the first time for either of us give into the moment i will not let this go for the first time for either of us you whispered something pretty something to hold onto a thousand memories now you are gone

your smile was brighter before you smiled for me your heart, how it fluttered before it beat for me your eyes shone with sparkles before you looked for me your face was much kinder before you lived through me and i'll be the reason you leave it all behind and i'll be the selfish thief who steals your time and i'll be the lover you'll wish you didn't find all in due time your songs were so pretty before you sang of me your music had passion before you played for me your dress, it was pure white before that night with me your life full of promise before you lived for me 'cause i am the reason you left it all behind and i am the selfish thief who steals your time and i'm the lost lover you wish you didn't find but please believe i try

you're such a mess beautiful mess out in the rain white springtime dress bowed on the ground amongst the trees you cursed aloud 'don't weep for me' but you are my favorite ghost 5 girls but i miss you the most you are my favorite ghost you are.. out by the lake out of the city's reach we found a place where it was just you and me you let me in one warm june night i was your first and you, you were mine and you are my favorite ghost 5 girls but i remember you most you are my favorite ghost you are.. light rains down on us xs marked the days but you never understood so i let you feel love i gave you all that i could every day by the lake i'd watch you dance 'round the trees til you hid behind one and disappeared with the spring but you are my favorite ghost 5 girls but i loved you the most you are my favorite ghost you are..

Oh, Yui, won't you hear me out, girl I've walked for miles, girl In no shoes Sold all I had to a stranger And now it's stranger That I see you Had the words down in my head But they scattered at your speech I watched the sun set in the west And then again in the east I think it made me weak Oh, Yui, won't you look my way, girl Just a glance, girl Maybe a smile Made a map of where I'm going Lines intersecting Where you are Had a plan in place for this For every place that you went Must have been something big But can't remember what it is I think it's why I live I made the world tilt from my room, girl To fall to you, girl But I just fell So, Yui, won't you sing a song, girl I'll sing along, girl It's all that's left Had them locked down in my mind The words frozen on my tongue A melody I thought I'd find Until it all came undone I think that it was love
9.
i thought i created something everyone could love but it wasn't enough so now i'm giving up i'm giving.. and all the blood dripping to the floor from the heart in these strings it's got me wondering was anyone ever listening i thought i found home a light shining in the night but the light was a fire a bridge burning down it's burning.. so this is what you get a fire that burns in the west and songs that are never heard in the end it's all just meaningless words

about

'The Brotherhood of the Traveling Jockstrap' is my 21st solo album.
Though it might not sound like it, this took quite a while to write and record. I started the writing process mid-March and finally finished up the album at the beginning of September. My once upon a time 3 albums per year has dropped, as this was released over a year after my previous album. I don't know what the future holds or how long it will take to get there, so I hope that you can enjoy this until the next one. Thanks so much to everyone who listens, and especially to those who give it a download. This music means the world to me, so you guys mean the world to me.

Thanks!! ♥
