Don't Tune that Guitar, Try Tuna Fish
Grandpa came over when I was 12
Gave me this guitar brothers gave me hell
I took it everywhere even played in my sleep
Brought it to the table when it was time to eat
Don't tune that guitar try to tuna fish
That voice of yours ain't something we'll miss
On the first note they all try to flee
Leaving all the Bumblebee for me
My brother Rick was musically impaired
He took it out on me all through the years
One night I warned him not to mess with me
He ran his mouth and I knocked out his teeth
Don't tune that guitar try to tuna fish
That voice of yours ain't something we'll miss
Mom never had to beg me to do chores
Just open up a can of albacore
Now I have two kids that love when I play
A boy and a girl that ask me everyday
But they also want me to try
To kick my addiction of tuna on rye
No more tuna fish tune that guitar
Tell us an adventure sing with your heart
The only compaint I could ever raise
When they want me to sing they hide the mayonnaise
No more tuna fish tune that guitar
Tell us an adventure sing with your heart
The only compaint I could ever raise
When they want me to sing they hide the mayonnaise
When they want me to sing they hide the mayonnaise

Out of Reach

Out of Reach
The sunset is over
I'm still on the beach
There's a boat out in the distance
A big party at sea
I bet there's booze and women
I'll bet they're having a great time
I'll even bet their cool breeze feels better than mine
Well I guess it's time to head back to my uneventful life
A two bedroom apartment with noisy neighbors on five sides
I don't want to end this summer night on the beach imagining a life just a little out of reach
She was driving with the top down in the next lane
She was looking so hot she put the sun to shame
I bet she's got a boyfriend
I bet that she's in love
And he probably treats her like she was sent from up above
Well rush hour traffic gets hectic around five
And it's hard to pay attention with beauty so close in sight
I was so distracted I didn't hear the tires screech
Imagining a life just a little out of reach
I don't mean to sound like I'm ungrateful
I've walked through many doors
But I can't seem to help myself from wanting more
The family's at the hospital in the waiting room
The drugs are wearing off I feel the scalpel go through
I can hear the doctors I don't know if they can hear me clinging onto a life that's a little out of reach
The sunset is over but I'm not on the beach
I'm having a blast at a party at sea

I Sing with My Nose

I Sing with My Nose
I sing with my nose and laugh with my belly
I eat with my hands and tease with a smile
I touch with my eyes and feel with my heart
And I'll love you with everything I've got
Now I know this feels like a movie
Is this really happening
Kiss me and I will show you
I'll show you just what I mean
Sometimes when we argue and I'm at a loss for words
I'll talk out my butt
I'm sure you've heard
But when we're done fighting
More likely than not
I'll love you with everything I've got
Now I know this feels like a movie
Is this really happening
Kiss me and I will show you
I'll show you just what I mean
It won't stop when this song is over
Our children get older and they have kids of their own
Baby when we're grown
I'll still sing with my nose and laugh with my belly
I'll eat with my hands and tease with a smile
I'll still touch with my eyes and feel with my heart
And I'll love you with everything I've got
Yeah I'll love you with everything I've got
Yeah I'll love you with everything I've got
Yeah I'll love you with everything I've got

The Rest of his Life

The Rest of his Life
Brian's been real quiet all day today at school
He went straight home instead of stopping by the pool
He's got plenty of friends and a loving home but inside his heart he feels all alone
He's getting ready for the rest of his life 'cause he can't take it anymore on this side
As far as he can see there's no end in sight
He's getting ready for the rest of his life
Brian grabs a piece of paper and a pen
Places tears between the lines he hopes will be read
He's thinking about the people he's about to leave behind but for him there's no option
He's made up his mind
He's getting ready for the rest of his life 'cause he can't take it anymore tonight
As far as he can see there's no end in sight
He's getting ready for the rest of his life
Takes a pill in the dark
Before morning comes it'll stop his heart
He's getting ready for the rest of his life 'cause he can't take it anymore tonight
As far as he can see there's no end in sight
He's getting ready for the rest of his life
Brian's been real quiet all day today at school

Dreaming of You

Dreaming of You
I wake up to reality
By breakfast I'll forget about you
I know we're not right for eachother
I'm happy with my life but every other night when I close my eyes
We always go somewhere we've never been
I know I'm in trouble at the sight of your lips but you don't love me and I swear I don't love you too
Oh but I need to stop dreaming of you
This time we hit a bar
A punk band played the Boys of Summer and we rocked out till you sprained your ankle
You crowd surfed to the back
I found you and you laughed
Then sunlight brought me back
We always go somewhere we've never been
I know I'm in trouble at the sight of your lips but you don't love me and I swear I don't love you too
Oh but I need to stop dreaming of you
I have a perfect life when you visit me at night
It goes by so fast but feels like time has stopped
I'm scared cause it makes me hope when I already know you were a love I'm better off having lost
We always go somewhere we've never been
I know I'm in trouble at the sight of your lips but you don't love me and I swear I don't love you too
Oh but I need to stop dreaming of you
I wake up to reality
By breakfast I'll forget about you
I know we're not right for each other

Don't Miss the Adventure

Don't Miss the Adventure
Tom was telling me work's been wearing him out
And he's been writing scripts with his head in the clouds
But he thinks to himself who's gonna give a nobody like me the time of day
So he puts his greatest masterpiece away
I know he has dreams that someday he'll be known for writing the biggest Broadway play
It makes me wanna wave a great big sign that says you don't have to hold back anymore
Don't miss the adventure you've waited your whole life for
If your passion's demanding attention you need to give your vision a chance to become reality
I try to tell him he can do it and he's like yeah I know
Then gives me some lame excuse hoping I'll just let it go
I think he's afraid
Afraid of change
Afraid of making a big mistake
And I'm afraid his work won't see the light of day
If only I could shake him
Wake him up
Maybe he'd believe that he's good enough
It makes me wanna wave a great big sign that says you don't have to hold back anymore
Don't miss the adventure you've waited your whole life for
If your passion's demanding attention you need to give your vision a chance to become reality
You don't have to sacrifice your desires and dreams
All you need is the strength to get out of your seat
I wanna wave a great big sign that says you don't have to hold back anymore
Don't miss the adventure you've waited your whole life for
If your passion's demanding attention you need to give your vision a chance to become reality

I Have to Remind Myself

I Have to Remind Myself
I go out almost every night to hang out with my friends
You could be across the room and still hear me laughing
But once in a while
I'll spend too much time on my own wrestling with the voices
When they creep in they make me feel alone and hopeless till I'm staring at the wall
The more I listen the more I believe
Till I'm crying out what's wrong with me
And I have to remind myself I'm okay
I have to remind myself I'll be alright
That I'm the kind of person people want to be around
When my heart is on the ground and all that's left is a shell
I have to remind myself
There's a girl I fell in love with when I looked in her eyes
And you should've seen the way her face would light up when she saw mine
I was entranced
But when she said she likes me as a friend like a house of cards my heart caved in
And I have to remind myself I'm okay
I have to remind myself I'll be alright
That I'm the kind of person people want to be around
When my heart is on the ground and all that's left is a shell
I have to remind myself
When it's been so long since I've been validated and I've forgotten what it's like to feel appreciated
I have to remind myself I'm okay
I have to remind myself I'll be alright
That I'm the kind of person people want to be around
When my heart is on the ground and all that's left is a shell
I have to remind myself
I have to remind myself

Torture Capital of Hell

Torture Capital of Hell
I totalled my truck
Dropped my phone and it split
Was a no call no show so I got a pink slip
Life doesn't seem fair but I've never been more happy not getting anywhere
The say nothing comes for free
The good always comes with the bad
I could be sent to the torture capital of hell
Our love would even make up for that
You give my life a jolt
You're my best dream come true
The best part of this dream's when I wake up I wake up to you
Life's not always fair but I'm on the good side of love so I don't care
The say nothing comes for free
The good always comes with the bad
I could be sent to the torture capital of hell
Our love would even make up for that
I have to admit
When I think of it I can't hold it all in
The say nothing comes for free
The good always comes with the bad
I could be sent to the torture capital of hell
Our love would even make up for that
I could be sent to the torture capital of hell
Our love would even make up for that
