I don't want you to come too close I don’t need you to break the rules Don't try to play my game It’s not what you should do I don’t think we can be friends I don’t think we should try again We’ve gone down that road before And we both know the score Don’t run to me, just keep your distance You won't find a way back to my heart, I know it's hard to see Don’t run to me, just keep your distance You’re better off without me I’m past the point where I can change I’ve made it clear, I'm staying the same If you try to get too close You’ll just end up hurting us both I don’t want to be the bad guy And I know you wanna try But I don’t wanna make you cry One more time Don’t run to me, just keep your distance You won't find a way back to my heart, I know it's hard to see Don’t run to me, just keep your distance You’re better off without me I'm warning you, don't try to come near me I’m begging you, please don’t waste your time Just hold on to the memory Hold on to the memory Hold on to the memory of when you were mine Don’t run to me, just keep your distance You won't find a way back to my heart, I know it's hard to see Don’t run to me, just keep your distance You’re better off without me

Wilsun 04:02
I’m standing here in Wilsun A small town in the north The streets are empty But the memories linger on I’m thinking of the past and the love we shared But now it’s just a ghost town and I’m left feeling scared 'Cause this is Wilsun A place we used to call home But now it’s just a memory Of a time that’s gone Cause this is Wilsun A place we used to call home Hold on to my memories And think of you I’m walking through the streets where we used to walk I’m passing by the places where we used to talk I’m hearing echoes of the laughter Echoes of the tears But now there’s only silence And it’s ringing in my ears 'Cause this is Wilsun A place we used to call home But now it’s just a memory Of a time that’s gone Cause this is Wilsun A place we used to call home Hold on to my memories And think of you I’m leaving Wilsun With a heavy heart But I’ll always remember What we tried to start I’ll try to hold the memories that we used to share And remember the good times when we were there 'Cause this is Wilsun A place we used to call home But now it’s just a memory Of a time that’s gone Cause this is Wilsun A place we used to call home Hold on to my memories And think of you

Yearning 05:12
I can see you in my mind Like a dream I can’t forget I’m reaching out to touch you But you’re not here yet I’m so full of longing, It’s like an aching in my soul. A sense of belonging, A search for something I can’t hold. I’m reaching out, My heart is calling, Yearning for something that I can’t find. I’m reaching out, My heart is calling, Yearning for something that’s out of my mind. I hear your voice in my head Like a melody I can’t ignore I’m holding on to every word That you said before I’m so full of sadness, It’s like a storm in my heart. I’m so full of sorrow, Searching for a brand new start. I’m reaching out, My heart is calling, Yearning for something that I can’t find. I’m reaching out, My heart is calling, Yearning for something that’s out of my mind. I’m searching for something that I can’t touch, I’m searching for something that I can’t feel. I’m searching for something that I can’t find, I’m searching for something real. I’m reaching out, My heart is calling, Yearning for something that I can’t find. I’m reaching out, My heart is calling, Yearning for something that’s out of my mind. I’ll be here, yearning for you Till the end of time I’ll keep holding on To the hope that you’ll be mine Yearning for your touch Yearning for your kiss Yearning for the day We’ll be together like this

A view from above, floating so high Watching as the world goes by Silent and sleek, full of mystique High altitude game of hide and seek Flying high, floating in the air You think you see them but they’re not there In the blink of an eye they disappear See what you don’t see and hear what you don’t hear From the desert to the sea They are the eyes of mystery Holding secrets, on the fly Watching over us from way up high Flying high, floating in the air You think you see them but they’re not there In the blink of an eye they disappear See what you don’t see and hear what you don’t hear They’re spies in the sky Spies in the sky

Tom Waits 03:39
Riding on a train to the edge of town Where the night has just begun People on the street with nowhere to go Living hard and having fun Everywhere I go there’s a song in the air People living life with no care Riding the night, with Tom Waits And feeling alright Down in the city, with its neon lights There’s a song that never ends People walking by in their Sunday best Heading off to work again Everywhere I go there’s a song in the air People living life with no care Riding the night, with Tom Waits And feeling alright There’s a place in my heart, where the music plays It never stops, It never fades Here in this moment, so free And all the world is green

Oblique 03:46
Dream of a life that’s never been seen A world of possibilities, a place in between A place of shadows, a place of light A place of secrets, hiding in the night Oblique, oblique, oblique Can you tell me what you see? Oblique, oblique, oblique Just on the other side of me A place of questions and answers Somewhere to play a game of chance A place for you to discover What you think and what you know you can Oblique, oblique, oblique Can you tell me what you see? Oblique, oblique, oblique Just on the other side of me A place of secrets, a place of lies A place of truth and of disguise A place of courage, a place of fear A place to hold those who are dear A place to question all you know To answer should I stay or go A place to see the real you And face up to your own truth Oblique, oblique, oblique Can you tell me what you see? Oblique, oblique, oblique Just on the other side of me

Goths on the beach, all dressed in black, Heading for the waves, and they won’t look back. The sun is shining bright, and the sand is warm, Goths on their boards, ready to ride the storm. Goths go surfing in the summer sun, Following their dreams, having fun. Day and night, they search for the best waves, Goths rocking out, caught in a craze. Goths with their boards, paddling out to sea, Riding the waves, free as can be. The salty air, and the ocean breeze, Goths living life, just like you and me Goths go surfing in the summer sun, Following their dreams, having fun. Day and night, they search for the best waves, Goths rocking out, caught in a craze. The waves and the beach can’t be denied The waves and the beach can’t be denied Can’t keep them down, they’re riding high, Catching those waves on the edge of the night They don’t care what people say, They’ll keep doing things their own way. Goths go surfing in the summer sun, Following their dreams, having fun. Day and night, they search for the best waves, Goths rocking out, caught in a craze.

Worldview 04:23
You open your mouth, the words slip out I’m shocked by what I hear The differences couldn’t be more clear Same scene, different views With our eyes and on the news And I’m not sure what to do I don’t understand your worldview It’s like I no longer know you We used to be so in sync Now I hear you talk and I don’t know what to think I don’t understand your worldview I’m struggling here, I don’t know what to do I’m pretty sure that I haven’t changed So why is it you now sound so deranged? Scene of the fire. You’re cheering it on All I see is everything wrong You look at me and say you don’t understand An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth Different facts, different truths Makes me wonder what’s become of you I don’t understand your worldview It’s like I no longer know you We used to be so in sync Now I hear you talk and I don’t know what to think I don’t understand your worldview I’m struggling here, I don’t know what to do I’m pretty sure that I haven’t changed So why is it you now sound so deranged? There was a time we saw things eye to eye I’m pretty sure those days are long gone by I feel a distance growing every day I can’t find any right words to say

I’m sitting here in the dark Thinking how we fell apart I can’t shake the feeling of your touch Remembering the way you smiled And how you said you’d stay a while But now you’re gone and I’m here all alone Why’d you have to go and leave me here Feeling lost and full of fear I’m holding on to our memories But now they’re just a faded blur I try to move but it’s so hard When every step feels like a yard I’m searching for a way to heal I’ve heard with time it get easier Meanwhile I feel queasier Thinking of a life here without you Why’d you have to go and leave me here Feeling lost and full of fear I’m holding on to our memories But now they’re just a faded blur I’ll keep holding on to the past Hoping one day it’ll be the last But ‘til then I’ll be here Holding on to the past I’ll keep holding on to the past Hoping one day it will be the last But ‘til then I’ll be here Holding on to the past Holding on to the past I keep holding on to the past

Every time I see your smile I feel like I’ve come home And every time you stay a while Is the best day that I’ve known You’re the one that lights my way Brings brightness to my day And I just have to say Don’t want it any other way You’re the beat that keeps me strong The rhythm of my soul And every time you sing your song It makes me feel whole You’re the one that lights my way Brings brightness to my day And I just have to say Don’t want it any other way

about

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
