Sunday Morning

Sunday Morning, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

fingers trace your every outline

paint a picture with my hands

driving slow on sunday morning

and i never want to leave

The Story So Far, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

i can't remember the time or place

or what you were wearing

with eyes as wide as yours

i've been searching up and down this coast

overlooking what i need the most

Over My Head

and suddenly i become a part of your past

i'm becoming the part that don't last

i'm losing you and its effortless

without a sound we lose sight of the ground

in the throw around

i won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

everyone knows i'm in

over my head

with eight seconds left in overtime

she's on your mind

One Step At A Time, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

one step at a time

Yesterday

Yesterday, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

you disappeared but the history is still here

it's why i try not to cry over spilt beer

i can't even get mad that you're gone

leaving me was probably the best thing you ever taught me

i'm sorry, it's official

i was a fist-full, i didn't keep it simple

chip on the shoulder, anger in my veins

had so much hatred, now it brings me shame

never thought about the world without you

and i promise that i'll never say another bad word about you

i thought i saw you yesterday

talk about it somewhere only we know

this could be the end of everything

so why don't we go, somewhere only we know

somewhere only we know

Laughing Off Stress

Laughing Off Stress, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

She is a born laugher.

It's ridiculously contagious and I can't tell you how many times my cheeks have been worked out.

It's crazy sometimes how we are on the same level with so many things.

where all of the walls all continually change

and i've done all i can

to stand on her steps with my heart in my hand

now i'm starting to see

maybe it’s got nothing to do with me

fathers, be good to your daughters

daughters will love like you do

well i can't explain why it's not enough

cause i gave it all to you

theres no use in trying

when the pieces don't fit anymore

pieces don't fit here anymore

All About U

All About U, originally uploaded by albert.cantaloupe.

so every morning that you wake before the first step that you take

just think it’s all what you make it and you’ll make it through

life is what it brings

it’s not about cars and fancy things

or hair salons or diamond rings girl so don’t you lose no sleep

life is all about

the things you’ll never figure out

it’s all about the people you allow

and memories you keep
