I just found this section of the site, thought I'd put some songs I've written in the past up here. Tell me what you think. . .haha though not too harshly! Also, if you care enough to give the first song a listen, go here: http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/446/the_xpletives.html. I'd love to hear some thoughts on the actual song too. Thanks a lot.
"When Fate Runs Out of Time"
Look me in the eye
Tell me it won't hurt to say goodbye
To all these times together we have had
You know how it gets me sad
I wish you'd make it hurt less bad
Please don't walk away
From this chance we have today
Before you know it all these chances will be gone
And when we say so long
Will you wonder if the decision you made was wrong?
Do you know what I go through
Every time I look at you
And have to wonder why I'm not good enough to be
Someone you can see yourself being with
And still being happy
I think about the chances I've missed
The other girls that I've kissed
The temptations I've had to resist
It all comes back to you
And how long it's been that you've been all that it comes down to
And every time I look around this room
I find myself glancing at you
And every time I hear your voice
I'm further convinced I have no choice
But to spend this year chasing after you
I'll do whatever I can do
To make you just come home with me tonight
And I'll pray that it lasts. . .
Three more months till I disappear
Off the radar from here
I hope my intentions will remain clear
I've got this all planned
I just hope you don't shoot me out of the sky beforehand
I dream about the nights that we spent
On the roof of your house
Just waiting for the stars to come into view
Now that I think back
They seemed to get closer with every second I spent with you. . .
And every time I look around this room
I find myself glancing at you
And every time I hear your voice
I'm further convinced I have no choice
But to spend this year chasing after you
I'll do whatever I can do
To make you just come home with me tonight
And I'll pray that it lasts. . .

"My War With You"
Why even talk with me
If you refuse to talk with me
When it matters
When I need you the most
You make me feel like I'm trapped
Yet only you can set me free
So why can't you see
That you belong with me
And good things are never free
Yeah when I hold you close to me
I think we can agree
That what we feel - it's not quite real
And it should never go away
My efforts are worthless
I'm being held down
You refuse to communicate
Even when picking me up off the ground
This is getting old fast
Yet you still take it slow
How can I not help but wonder
If there's even some place for me to go
Yeah when I hold you close to me
I think we can agree
That what we feel - it's not quite real
And it should never go away
So take my hand and walk down your street
Show me a place where we can be
Where reality can disappear
Nothing's wrong when you and me are here
There's nothing left that I can do
Help me win my war with you
Why do you hold back?
Are you afraid to take a chance?
Everything I have taught you
Has told you not to save it all until this last dance
I cannot believe
That when I look you in the eye
You still hide your feelings
How can you still be surprised that
When I hold you close to me
I think we can agree
That what we feel - it's not quite real
And it should never go away
So take my hand and walk down your street
Show me a place where we can be
Where reality can disappear
Nothing's wrong when you and me are here
There's nothing left that I can do
Help me win my war with you
