"'Last Day' Travels USA"

Two Bonaventure students spent much of June roaming the northeastern United States as professional musicians. Sean O'Shea and Katie Desautels, both juniors, spent most of June traveling as the acoustic rock group Living My Last Day.

Living My Last Day had been a solo project for O'Shea, a music major, for nearly five years, during which he put out two albums, "Freshman Year" and "Heart Like Stained Glass." Desautels, a triple-certification education major, joined the band this February. O'Shea describes Living My Last Day as an acoustic rock act, listing Secondhand Serenade, Dashboard Confessional and Ronnie Day as its musical influences.

"This was our first legitimate tour," O'Shea said. "We were on the road for three and a half weeks, nonstop driving and just having fun."

Living My Last Day's summer tour took it to stops in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, South Dakota and Nebraska, in that order, with a quick return to Indiana at the end.

O'Shea, who plays guitar and sings, said he and Desautels, a vocalist and pianist, saw more of the country than they'd originally intended.

"We got lost pretty much everywhere in New Jersey, for starters," O'Shea said. "We had trouble with the signs."

Road signs weren't all that puzzled O'Shea and Desautels in New Jersey.

"In Jersey, we played with a soloist on the guitar," O'Shea said. "The best way to describe him would be an angry, older, screamo, acoustic cowboy. He dressed like a cowboy and was drunk on stage. He kept saying how drunk he was."

The cowboy's most memorable lyric, to O'Shea, was "I hope you die, get cancer in your eye, you" - well, you can imagine how it ends.

"That show was fun, but kind of … awkward," O'Shea said.

Nearly as varied as the people they encountered were the places they played. O'Shea and Desautels played at a skate park in Omaha, Neb.; a house party in Syracuse, N.Y.; and a chocolate shop in Dayton, Ohio, just to name a few from the eclectic list.

"I set out a tentative schedule, like 'June 7 or 8, I want to be in blank,'" O'Shea said. He then researched concert venues in those areas and called or e-mailed their owners. "A lot of it was done through the internet. I posted 'Where do you want to see us play?' on MySpace, and we saw where our biggest numbers of fans were and tried to book there."

Despite spending so much time traveling and performing, O'Shea and Desautels made time for the occasional down day.

O'Shea recounted their stay with Desautels' brother in Rapid City, S.D., their seeing a 60-foot-high statue of the Jolly Green Giant in Blue Earth, Minn., and visiting fellow Bonaventure junior Luke Balbo after a show at the Solid Ground Coffee House in nearby Northville, Mich.

"We just chilled and went tubing and wakeboarding," O'Shea said of the band's two-day stay at Balbo's home. "I'd say that was my favorite stop of the tour and my favorite show."

Making money by traveling around nine states and playing music may sound too good to be true, but O'Shea said Living My Last Day's summer tour was about anything but money.

"The money we made on the tour went to gas, food and the occasional hotel stay," he said. "We basically went for broke, but it was 100 percent worth it. We probably wouldn't have done it any other way - except add more shows."

Living My Last Day plans to release an album in December, O'Shea said. The band also plans to play at Bonagany on Saturday, Sept. 26. Its music can be found on iTunes and the band's MySpace page at www.myspace.com/livingmylastday.

SUMMER TOUR UPDATE #1
Whats up guys?! Its Sean here just wanting to say hey and update you all on the tour up to now!

Friday night, June 5th, we played a "hometown" show to kickoff the tour right in Ithaca NY at the Nines. It was a fun show, we sold some merch, and saw some newish fans there and it was great to see everyone there, both new and old fans! One thing though that I won't forget was the drive to the show... the sunset was never so orange and bright...

The next day we packed up the car and drive up to Syracuse for a fun house party show. We all just hung out and chilled. We played video games for a long time last in the night saturday night and that was a lot of fun haha we got to hang out and meet a bunch of new people through the whole day and night. Katie and I did a second much more chill set around the late night campfire. The whole experience was a lot for several reasons, but overall it was fun because I got to hang out with old friends and make new ones too.

The next day (sunday) we just drove down from Syracuse to Jackson NJ... just chilled that night... The Mystery Machine drove by us haha NO JOKE!!! Oh and there's a town in Jersey called "Buttzville"... Oh goodness...

The next day we drove up to New Brunswick for a VERY interesting show... hahaha We played the Court Tavern which was fun but kind of... awkward... Opening for us, we had Jared Thomas Lord, a drunk hardcore (music wise) cowboy haha Interesting lyrics, but hey he was expressing himself and thats what music is... expressing yourself! And after him Darren Deicide took the "stage" with his plywood and tap shoes for an interesting bass drum-esque sound while he played electric guitar and sang. His set was really energetic and fun and crazy! We were really different from both of them obviously but we played (I think haha) a great set! It just wasn't really our scene exactly...

We played an open Mic last night and got to finally meet a great fan and friend for sure...

Tonight we play another open mic up in Keyport, and tomorrow night a big house party in Pittsburgh that is open to the public!! So check the address on our page and hopefully we'll see you there!!!
 
SUMMER TOUR UPDATE #2
 
So word! Sorry it took so long to get another tour blog up!! Here are a few things that we have done and seen since the last time we checked in with each other...

So we played Stay Young House in Pittsburgh which was so much fun! Prolly one of my favorite venues that I've ever played so hey, if you're a band and reading this, or someone whos a fan of fun, intimate shows, then check this house out and get ready for a really great atmospohere and fun time... Oh! and be sure to visit Kitty World!

We drove to Dayton for a chill acoustic set outside a chocolate shop~ Fun stuff and then the next day I (Sean) wanted to surprise Katie with a trip I knew she would love, and we went to the Columbus zoo! It was a lot of fun and we got to see a lot of cool stuff. My favorite animal is the feline species, so I loves seeing all the big cats, but the monkeys were fuckin awesome with their crazy antics and "whoo's" and whoa's" hahahaha

We drove up to see one of my good friends from school up in MI, and stayed at his house for a couple nights. Luke's a good guy. Hi Luke (If you ever read this). Anyway, we played Solid Ground Coffee House last night and that was def the most fun I've had at a show. I played a good set I think hahaha and the crowd was so much fun haha I love you Northville, and I hope that we get to come back soon! The Bridge May Be Icy opened for us, and they were a lot of fun, so hey, check them out everybody!

Oh and Katie and I got to go water tubing yesterday!! It was my first time and holy wow! SOOO much fun! hahaha I tried wakeboarding... lets just say that didnt go over too well... hahaha We've been slacking on getting tour pics up I know, but we will try to post some soon! Promise!

We're leaving Luke's today to head down to Indiana to visit with some of my family before going to Illinois and playing a couple shows there! If you're near Lake Villa or Bridgeport IL, PLEASE COME OUT AND HANG WITH US! haha Those should be 2 really fun shows!

Send your best to Katie too... She has a sore throat and is not feeling amazing...

Oh! and also, this tour, has been deemed the Inappropriate Tour... We'll tell you guys more details stories and show you pictures with jokes why we deemed this tour that later hahahaha
 
SUMMER TOUR UPDATE #3
 
Ay yo ay yo! whats good everybody?! Sean here, chillin in Rapid City South Dakota with Katie and her broski at his place...

Well, lemme catch you all up... We got to Indiana and visited with some of my fam and just chilled, went to this cool pool water park thingy where we did some diving and Katie did a really cool twisty dive haha I'm jealous... I only got some cool one and a halves... hahaha

We left for Lake Villa, IL a day or two later and played a fun set at a hookah bar lounge joint hahaha same venue I played last summer, Swing State. The show was fun, though kind of difficult with all the smoke cuz we are both asthmatic... hahaha it was fun though. We played this really small town, Bridgeport the next night and the show went alright, but sad to say not many people showed. We did get to meet some cool folks though! Driving there and leaving the show though, we had the grand priviledge of driving through a tornado warning, and several severe thunderstorms haha fun. We drove for about 4 hours and then stopped for the night some random hotel.

The next day, we had a fun 12+ hour drive from wherever we were when we stopped to Rapid City, where we are now... Yesterday we went to Reptile Gardens! The largest reptile place thingy in the US! It has hundreds of snakes, crocodilians, birds, and it has a bald eagle, prairie dogs and a great croc show hahaha this place rents out its animals to films and stuff and we saw snakes that were in the movie snakes on a plane, we saw famous gators and other cool stuff

Today plans are up in the air but Katie wants to get some deep fried pickles tonight and we are all either going mini-golfing, or water sliding, or something... we'll practice a new song tonight and/or tomorrow!

Check out our new pics and everything! There's some funny ones up there!! hahaha

Peace and love hit us up and we'll try to hit you back!! I'll start trying to catch up on comments later tonight and tomorrow practice! Sorry I'm almost a month behind!!
 
SUMMER TOUR UPDATE #4
Heyhey! So its time for the fourth and final tour blog! Yay! Haha it was actually time for it a few days ago... maybe a week ago... ANYWAY...

So, the rest of South Dakota was fun! Hey random thought, did I tell you all we saw the Jolly Green Giant on our way to South Dakota?!Theres a pic of it in the pics section... its fuckin huge!!!!! hahhah

So yeah, we hung out at Kevin's place (Katie's broski, but for real, her brother), we left wednesday for our Omaha shows and the drive was early and long... we got to the Omaha mall and walked around the mall and store for a bit... Hot Topic that is. We did our set and met some cool kids and people and promoted the show. There are some cool clothes and stuff in that store.

We drove around and finally found the skatepark haha and then did our thing. It was a chill and I'm not gonna lie, kind of an awkward show, because let's be honest, we're not really a skatepark kind of act... hahaha The people that listenedand werethere seemedtoenjoy it so thats cool! It was fun! Again, we met some really cool kids- Stoopid played after us, and they were cool and funny guys.

After the show, I got my board and started riding the AMAZING park that is Vinny's, but of course, my luck, my board broke third run... So I bought another deck and all is well now...

We drove a it that night, stayed in a hotel, chilled, then we hit the road in the morning for Indiana. We played Bean Counter's in northern Indiana following friday night. We got to play with Dear Noel, Oceans Over Airplanes, and it was a great show to end the tour with! We met a ton of people, including a fan of mine/ours for awhile so that was fun. The show was put on by Othello, so I def think you should check them out! Othello Industries in Indiana!

We drove back to my aunt's, the next day we got to see some fireworks and go to a community fair fireworks type dillio thingy and twas fun! We drove sunday, and monday, we got back to Katie's where I and Katie's mom had been sneaky enough to plan a surprise early birthday party for Katie! Yay! The party was fun, a lot of Katie's fam came, as well as a couple friends and we just partied the rest of the night...

And I guess thats about it!

Thank you everyone for making this a memorable and fun road trip and tour. From the venues, to thebands we met and played with, to all the amazing people who came to the shows... Thank you from the heart of our bottoms... hahaha But really, we thank you so much and it means a lot to us that you were all so cool... We will post more pictures soon, and we hope to keep in touch with all of you, and that you will all continue to spread the word about our message and music.

We love you. We thank you.

Well, saturday june 7th was the starts of it all... Show in Cresson, PA... It was hot, bright, muggy, etc and of course... an outside show hahaha this was also my very first out of NY state show, not to mention the first stop on my first tour~ The crowd wasn't too big, and the crowd that was there wasn't my usual crowd, but despite this, I performed well forthemost part and had a great time doing so, and the crowd of country/southern rock bands and their family/friends seemed to enjoy it as well! Of course there was a the younger band "Just Megan" as well but I'm just sayin lol twas a good time, and I'd love to come back and play again! the 4 hour drive and heat was well worth it~

I then went on to go stay the night with a very good friend of mine. We spent some time at the driving range hahaha and mini golf and just chilled and saw the town- very good time and of course... there was rock band hahaha

the next morning, I headed out to long beach outside of nyc! my goodness nyc traffic... haha anyways... it was a for a very good friend and fan of mine Bissy's (pictures in my photos section~) surprise birthday party, and of course, I was a surprise! We all played some badmitten, made up secret handshakes, and attempted volleyball hahaha I then played an acoustic set of covers and some originals (I'll work on more covers! Promise! haha). Now what I don't understand is traffic and travel times... haha it took me 6 hours to get to her house, and then 7-8 hours to get BACK to Joey's house... anyway! that night we decided to uhh... take the law into our own hands? Yay hopping fences and swimming in the warmest pool I've ever been in, also yay NOT doing anything other then trespassing like defacing property or anything! haha promise! The cops eventually came and webounced before they got to us but yeah lol no yay for that part hahaha

the next day, I drove 9ish hours to hit the Columbus area to chill~ I went and stayed in a motel 6 (which I recommend for cheap prices and quality rooms and such! lol) and found this awesome pool with a 1 meter, 3 meter diving board and a...4 or 5 meter platform? twas a totally righteous good time dude!

I went to the Columbus zoo the next day and that was really cool and fun! I have mixed feelings about zoos in general though... the whole animals being locked up and not in their natural habitat and such but i also love animlas~ I drove to Indiana to stay and visit with my cousins and family and yay fun! I played prolly about an hour and a half of my stuff that night for them and just chilled- they really seemed to enjoy it a lot and we all had a lot of fun!

The next day I was off to northern Illinois! Yay sitting in downton Chicago traffic at rush hour... hahaha but the show that night at Swing State up in Lake Villa was a lot of fun! I made some more and new fans, sold a couple cds, and enjoyed the other band a lot! The show went pretty well for the next part... including my "sexy hair" hahahaha I spent the night in a hotel that night which was cool but yeah a little pricey but I couldn't find another place~ whatevski

the next day, I was able to avoid most of the traffic haha and made it back to Indiana in about 5 hours or so. I spent the day playing ultimate frisbee, doing cartwheels and flips and just chillin! *Girls we still need to finish our routine! hahaha but it was a lot of fun- I played again later that night for friends of my cousin's and the family again as well lol it went well except for forgetting my lyrics to a couple of the new songs lol but yeah... hahaha

it was now time to start my way back to ny and to my Ohio show~ I played a free show in Dayton Ohio with the ever amazing "Kelsey Skaggs" and though there was a hardly a crowd at all, i had alot of fun just kinda playin around working on some new things and working on "my amazing range" haha thanks a lot Kelsey and of course getting the chance to hear K.S. live was a lot of fun and amazing

I drove an hour or two and then decided to give in finally and pull over to stay the night in a crappy hotel that was a bit over priced I think... I do not recommend "Knights Inn" ever for anybody haha

It was now time to head back to NY for a benefit on sunday, and then eventually back to Ithaca

I spent too much money on gas and hotel rooms, spent too many hours driving, got stressed a lot about shows, crowds, making money, etc, but I also made a lot of new friends, gained some new fans, sold some cds, made too many experiences and memories to count and recall right now, and now that all of it is said and done, I know that I would do the exact same thing all over again tomorrow without a single glimmer of a second thought.

This whole thing has been amazing and I can't wait to do it all again, and expand to hit more areas with more shows and meet and make new fans, friends, and experiences. Thank you everyone for helping me make this all possible, and one of the best times of my life

Life's Hit or Miss:
 
the leaves are falling like the lids on your eyes
your dreams are letting you runaway from your life
days go by and feel like roller coasters
you feel like no body understands but the bands on your posters
 
i want you to listen to me now
i want you to sing this just as loud
 
i think its time that i save you from yourself
put your pain, put their words, put the world on the shelf
and let it go, and sing aloud and find forgiveness
its all a part of your life, your world, hit or miss
 
the season's changing and so are you
the sun is falling in the fading blue
you think that this is all life can be
cuz you've never known anything but misery
 
i want you to listen to me now
i want you to sing this just as loud
 
i think its time that i save you from yourself
put your pain, put their words, put the world on the shelf
and let it go, and sing aloud and find forgiveness
its all a part of your life, your world, hit or miss
 
Late Night Track Star:
 
You put me in my finest form
When you turned out to
Be my heat in this winter storm
I knew that the moment we met
That you'd become the
One that I could never forget
 
I love when you crinkle your nose
Its the cutest thing that
I have ever come to know
I can't help but smile brightly
Whenever I think
About your mind, your soul, and body
 
I wish that I could find
The words to say to you
To make you fall in love
With me the way that I did with you
You make words hard to find
Its a feeling I can't get off my mind
I know we're unprepared
But please do not be scared
 
I'll be your lullaby at night
So that you can keep
Warm under your blankets, wrapped up so tight
I never want to say goodnight to you
because that means that
I will have to wait to see you
again
 
I wish that I could find
The words to say to you
To make you fall in love
With me the way that I did with you
You make words hard to find
Its a feeling I can't get off my mind
I know we're unprepared
But please do not be scared
 
I told you that I was fine
But that was just another line
I want this to be so much more
Please just a chance
Don't close the door
 
I wish that I could find
The words to say to you
To make you fall in love
With me the way that I did with you
You make words hard to find
Its a feeling I can't get off my mind
I know we're unprepared
But please do not be scared
 
Forever and for Always
 
ill be your superman
forever and for always
ill tuck you in
when the nights turn into long days
we'll watch the stars fall
and wish upon the moonlight
we'll hold each others hands
and hold each other so tight
just know that i'll be there for you
 
i wanna live every cliche
with you and get to say
that i found my only one
ill sing to you till we're dead and gone
i'll kiss you in the rain
and i'll kiss away your pain
of a past love, your last love
baby i wanna be the one you think of
forever and for always
 
just know that
 
ill be your superman
forever and for always
ill tuck you in
when the nights turn into long days
we'll watch the stars fall
and wish upon the moonlight
we'll hold each others hands
and hold each other so tight
just know that i'll be there for you
 
ive fallen and i cant get up
not an original line
but you wont listen to any of mine
so i guess ill have to play
along with your cherade
and look for another sign
to someday make you mine
forever and for always
 
just know that
 
ill be your superman
forever and for always
ill tuck you in
when the nights turn into long days
we'll watch the stars fall
and wish upon the moonlight
we'll hold each others hands
and hold each other so tight
just know that i'll be there for you
 
i could never stand to lose you
but still i have to take that chance
i want to let you in and not let go
and have to let you dance
all alone
in this world
you're so beautiful girl
 
just know that
 
ill be your superman
forever and for always
ill tuck you in
when the nights turn into long days
we'll watch the stars fall
and wish upon the moonlight
we'll hold each others hands
and hold each other so tight
just know that i'll always be there for you
 
Hopeful Conversations:
 
there were times when it felt awkward
but it felt so right
bein with and stayin up with you that night
i didnt know what to say
or what to do
all i knew was that it felt right to be with you
and the way your eyes looked
when they looked in mine
felt just like forever stuck in a moment in time
 
i wanna be the first
to handle you at your worst
i'll be there for you
ill be your destiny
please make your fate with me
we can make it through
 
my heart beats fast
when i think of you
can you just tell me, if you feel this too
dont wanna move too fast
but i cant slow down
im countin down the days till the summer turns to brown
and we get to be
together
either as friends or significant others
 
i wanna be the first
to handle you at your worst
i'll be there for you
ill be your destiny
please make your fate with me
we can make it through
 
Someday Soon:
 
And I know you're strong
And I know you don't need anyone
But can you remember what it felt like
Before we got to where we are now?
 
And I won't try to remind you
Of what we both went through
Of what we went through during that phone call
And how I ruined both of us
 
Yeah that's right
I still sing about you each night
When I say my prayers
When I sleep in bed
You're every song I sing and write in my head
When will I finally forget you
I hope that its someday soon
 
I don't know who has it off worst
If its my heart, or the one I burst
By letting you fly I thought that you'd fly back (someday)
But I guess you found happiness in a better place (far away)
 
Yeah that's right
I still sing about you each night
When I say my prayers
When I sleep in bed
You're every song I sing and write in my head
When will I finally forget you
I hope that its someday soon
 
Because of this pain I feel inside inside
Because I'm in the worst state of mind
Because I just wanna forget you
And be able to think and start brand new
 
But yeah that's right
I still sing about you each night
When I say my prayers
When I sleep in bed
You're every song I sing and write in my head
When will I finally forget you
I hope that its someday soon
I won't forget my late night rendezvous
I can't forget the sight of your baby blues
I'll never forget my affair with you
 
Back Again:
 
this highways never ending
and i dont know where im heading
im just following the signs
to my new home
 
i wouldnt let myself cry
in front of you while you said goodbye
im just following the signs
to where i belong
 
and all these memories
come back to me
 
and ill never forget
the night we spent
laying on my car
staring up at the stars
and the times that we
were made happy
by the stupidest things, and the littlest things
and yet they meant everything
 
i got my memories packed all in the back
all the photographs and the grass stained slacks
im just following the signs
to a new home
 
and all these memories
come back to me
 
and i'll never forget
the days we spent
lyin in the grass
swimmin in the pool
cuz man we thought we were so cool
back then
i just want those times back again
 
this highway's never ending
and i don't know where im heading
i just hope that i
follow the right signs
 
Why:
 
Why do you make me feel this way?
So perfect and pure every single day
Its in the way that you smile
Its in the way that you laugh
At everything that I say and do
How could I deserve a girl just like you
 
Why do you make me feel this way?
I can't help but smile when I say your name
Its in the way that you smile
Its in the way that you laugh
At everything that I say and do
How could I deserve a girl just like you
 
I don't know if this is fate
or just potential heartbreak
 
Why do you make me feel this way?
You bring me to a feeling I haven't felt since high school days
I know that we just met
And I know that I can't forget
All the conversations
I'm starin at what could be perfection
 
Despite what we
disagree on
 
Take my hand
Take this chance
With me
Don't say maybe

Lullaby to a Waking Child:
 
Wake up sleepy head
Its time to rise
Wake up sleepy head
Open your eyes
Its a brand new day
Its a brand new light
Open your eyes
And take flight
 
Its a beautiful day
Despite the rain
Its a beautiful day
Despite the pain
Its time to wake up
Its time to start anew
The sunrise is your
Personal re-do
 
This is your wake-up call
A lullaby to get stuck in your head
Life can be whatever you want
You just have to get out of bed
 
Ironically, Its a Giraffe:
 
she was
sittin in her chair
just watching the sunrise
7:20 am and the night dies
i couldnt believe this feeling that was coming over me
i was falling in love and it felt like the first time
a little too attatched
i mightve just become
call me love sick
or call me just dumb
but i love the way she smiles and the way her eyes glow
does she love me, thats what i want to know
i just dont know
 
and i dont know if she felt the way
that i felt when i held her body that day
a moment that i froze forever in my heart
in my life, please take the part
of my girlfriend of my love,
she's sent from up above
i love you
oh i think i love you
 
and now i cant get her
off of my mind
ever since that day ive felt like
one of a kind
im looking for her face
in every single place
im hopin that she'll fill
my life up with her grace
her natural beauty
in the morning, day and moonlight
is driving me crazy cuz i know i cant get it right
i wanna say please be mine, please be mine forever
but i keep on fuckin up the words to say to her, please better
my life
 
and i don't know if she felt the way
that i felt when i help her body that day
a moment that i froze forever in my heart
in my life, please take the part
of my girlfriend of my love,
she's sent from up above
i love you
oh i think i love you
 
cuz i need you
i breathe you
i want you around
i wanna lay down next to you
and listen to the sound
to the sound of ya heartbeat
its such a feat
it makes my day complete
i need ya heat
need ya heat to live
to breathe
i jus want you to be able to concieve
this notion
of your eyes just like the ocean
ya touch like lotion
 
and i don't know if she felt the way
that i felt when i help her body that day
a moment that i froze forever in my heart
in my life, please take the part
of my girlfriend of my love,
your sent from up above
i love you
 
Sweet Catastrophe:
 
its in the way she moves
its in the way she talks
come on girl lets go for a walk
let me share with you my dreams
so you can help them come true
i cant see me livin without
you were always there by my side
even when my eyes were closed
come on girl lets show this world what it wants to know
 
cuz when i look in your eyes
i see the past, present,
and future of my life
and when i kiss your lips
i read all of the poetry
that the world has always missed
i love you
what can i do
to get this through
to you?
to you
 
i wanna fall asleep with you
next to me
youre my sweet catastrophe
and when you wake up lying in my arms
ill treat you like a queen
ill go the distance just for you to be with me
i dont know how to put in words
the things you make me feel
all i know is that this love is real
 
and when i look in your eyes
i see the past, present,
and future of my life
and when i kiss your lips
i read all of the poetry
that the world has always missed
i love you
what can i do
to get this through
to you?
to you
 
Fears:
 
fears of fading out
and failing too
these are the things that i think about
when im not with you
is this really meant to be
is this love so true
will this story end happily
or is it already through
 
I tell you
its alright
its ok
its alright we will
make it through each day
she tells me
its alright
its ok
its alright we will
make it through each day
each one of these days
 
i can taste the words
goodbye on your lips
my vision is blurred
thanks to opportunities missed
i loved you so much
couldnt comprehend your kiss
i never thought that this could happen
i never thought that things would end like this
 
I tell you
its alright
its ok
its alright we will
make it through each day
she tells me
its alright
its ok
its alright we will
make it through each day
each one of these days
 
i tell you
its alright
its ok
its alright we will
she cries to me
its alright
its ok
its alright we will
see each other again someday
 
i just need you to know
i will always
miss my affair with you
 
My Affair With You:
 
i thought i saw you
on the corner of the street
it wasn't you so i
kept walking to the beat
i keep running in-
to the ghost of you and me
i cant forget about
our moment down by the creek
 
i've been missin you
all these feelings so true
your bright eyes of blue
my affair with you
 
we shared our secrets, and i
called you my wonderwall
i played my guitar while you
while you sang along
when im with you, i wish
time would slow down to a crawl
i cant forget about
our moment down by the dining hall
 
i've been missin you
all these feelings so true
your bright eyes of blue
my affair with you
 
I'm not so good with words:
 
i never wanted to sing your song to her
i just want you to forget and let me hear your laughter
the tears have been shed and the scars are on my arms
i love you so much, let this song disarm the bomb
in your eyes
in your eyes
 
its appearent that im not over you
i could have another girl, but i just dont want to
youre the only one that i see
the only one who could forever make me happy
cuz in your eyes
cuz in your eyes
 
if i wasnt such a fool
right now id be holding you
i miss the grace and the taste of your lips
even the way we would kiss each other's fingertips
your hands were like gentle breezes on my chest
i miss everything, you were the best
cuz in your eyes
in your eyes
i find the rest of our lives
 
i made a mistake, a new you i can't make
i tried to forget you, by messin with my fate
i fell in love with you when i looked in her eyes
i still love you despite her deep sighs
cuz in your eyes
cuz in your eyes
 
i ask myself why as i look in the mirror
cuz when im with you, everything seems clearer
i need you in my life like i did back then
i need you to love me like you did again
cuz in your eyes
in your eyes
 
if i wasnt such a fool
right now id be holding you
i miss the grace and the taste of your lips
even the way we would kiss each other's fingertips
your hands were like gentle breezes on my chest
i miss everything, you were the best
cuz in your eyes
in your eyes
i find the rest of our lives
 
every word i say is true
every song i sing is for you
i will follow you wherever you go
i will love you forever, i just want you to know
 
if i wasnt such a fool
right now id be holding you
 
Remembering Moments Through Letters:
 
she wrote him letters everyday
she told him that she loved him in every way
she took for granted all the kisses
and when he's not with her, he's the one that she misses
when she goes to bed at night
when she's standing in the bright sunlight
and she wonders what hes doing on these nights alone
if shes the one his mind is on
 
oh yes she is
oh yes she is
shes the one he dreams about
in the moonlight, in the sunlight
shes the one
 
she listens to their song, what a wonder
she reads the notes that he gave her
she says that when they're together, it gets harder to pull away
and shes not looking forward to their last day
cuz when she goes to bed at night
cuz when she's standing in the bright sunlight
she wonders what hes doing on these nights alone
if shes the one his mind is on
 
oh yes she is
oh yes she is
shes the one he dreams about
in the moonlight, in the sunlight
cuz shes the one
 
and shes remembering their moments through their letters
and he's doing the same thing
and theyre wanting to be together
it was never just a fling
 
cuz shes the one
oh yes she is
shes the one he dreams about
in the moonlight, in the sunlight
cuz shes the one
 
if only he wasnt too scared
 
Lost Fantasy:
 
you and me
what a fantasy
you have no clue
that this song is about you
 
i see you everyday
to you i cant find the words so right to say
when you look at me
i know that im not what you really see
cant find the confidence
to ask you if you could gimme a chance
i just want to know
what you would do if my love for you i showed
 
love
is
my
lost fantasy
for me
its forever been
eternily
a mystery
 
i wish that things could be
oh oh so differently
your hand i want to hold
but that would be a move far to bold
i bet you wouldnt even notice if i disappeared
but i want to make you notice and have me appear
i want to show you things youve never seen
i want us to watch the world go by like a movie screen
 
love
is
my
lost fantasy
all
i want
is for us to
live happily
live happily
 
i dont want you to become a memory
i dont wanna stay like this forever
 
Face to Face With Innocence:
 
you asked me if i wanted to hear something crazy
i said sure, you said your falling for me
and i dont know what to do
i think im falling for you to
 
and we've only just met
ive never even seen your face yet
face to face, weve never been
face to face, i dont know when we'll ever be
 
everyday, you tell me you cant get me off your mind
i wonder, could this really be my once upon a time?
well i really hope so
cuz i dont want to have to let go
 
and we've only just met
ive never even seen your face yet
face to face, weve never been
face to face, i dont know when we'll ever be
 
What We're All Searching for:
 
your smile
this mile
my heart is racing, and my heart is pounding
you have no clue that my heart is rounding
this corner to your house, corner to your home
corner to the place where my heart wants to belong
ive never wanted anything more than this
ive never wanted anything more than, your kiss
 
its in the way you look at me
its in the way you speak to me
with every passing glance
my heart fills with hopeless romance
 
your window
the wind blows
harder and louder than my voice can carry
my feelings for this, i cant bury
i can see you through your window putting your make up on
why cant you see me, hear me playing our song
ive waited all my life for my heart to beat fast
ive waited all my life for this something, to last
 
you've asked me to wait for years
and all i want is you to be here (right here with me)
im close to giving up
cuz i cant seem to keep you love
 
im destined to always chase you
im destined to never ever have you
im destined to always chase after you
 
Living Your Last Day:
 
sometimes we just forget
sometimes we just need to see
where the heart is
and where the strength that lies beneath
its hard to keep track of the world
when it just keeps on spinning by
but i promise you it can be done
all you gotta do is try
just try
 
the world can be yours to change
if your tired of living on a stage
but your too scared to jump and fall
cuz you dont think that you could carry on
oh yeah you just gotta believe in the falling leaves
oh i am serious when i say, you could be living your last day
 
sometimes we just forget
sometimes we just need to feel
the hearts true passion
just please let it be real
i know their words can hurt sometimes
you just cant get them off your mind
but i promise you you can forget
all you gotta do is try
 
the world can be yours to change
if your tired of living on a stage
but your too scared to jump and fall
cuz you dont think that you could carry on
oh yeah you just gotta believe in the falling leaves
oh i am serious when i say, you could be living your last day
 
Your Song:
 
i wish that you were here right now
i wish that i could be right here with you
cuz your not here
and im not there
i just want to see your pretty face
 
remember all the times we shared
like when i kept you warm all night
cuz your not here
and im not there
i just want to kiss those pretty lips
 
cuz this is your song
my song to you
i love you
oh yes i do
 
i miss the conversations we had
i miss our quiet walks alone
cuz your not here
and im not there
i just want to dance with you tonight, all night
 
i never wanted to say goodbye
i never wanted to let go of you
cuz your not here
and im not there
i just want to look into your eyes
 
cuz this is your song
my song to you
i love you
oh yes i do
