Time to do it to it baby We’ve been talking about it for so long And every time we wait, kick the can or hesitate Too afraid of doing it wrong It just pushes us further and further away From where we’re both trying to be We could go for it and fail, chase our own tails But in the end we’d still be you and me And waiting for a picture perfect moment It’s like waiting for a sign to seem heaven sent...

30 Day Husband ep. 1: Touching Toes by Adam Dunetz

It’s always been easy For me to be alone Not bothering anybody Or making things muddy It’s always been so much Simpler on my own Keeps me from crossing lines Or missing signs Of all the things to take a toll Tending my own indentured soul Doesn’t even make the list Ever digging out from another hole A deficit of verbal impulse control Per my therapist And she’s never missed She has never missed I’...

Mama’s in the kitchen She’s crying by the door The cake that she been baking All crumbled on the floor Don’t look at me mama It was like that when I found it Papa’s gone a missing Since mama got home Tonight he’ll be sleeping In the cellar all alone When something don’t look right mama There ain’t no two ways around it Mama and pop they’ve been going non-stop Like an 18 wheeler and a train It’s a...

You might not like the mess you made But now your welcome’s overstayed So go ahead, sit alone and cry You can drown in all your sorrows Or save them for another guy Do what you want but darling Don’t dissimulate or say we didn’t try I can’t shake this feeling in my heart I should have known it from the start And maybe you don’t want to hear the truth But I’m laying it on the line now Cause I don’t...

Sitting here watching the paint dry Thinking bout you I know you’re out there somewhere Doing the best you can do Take the time you need to roam You deserve to feel complete on your own And tell me all about it When you get home Busy rearranging the furniture Thinking bout you Trying hard not to anticipate When you might come through We don’t need to talk about money I’ll just laugh when you say s...

Hey I heard you just got back today From a work trip in LA Nothing new around here And I’ll just say If you come around my way Two minutes off the highway I’ll let you bend my ear Some bags you need to lay down just outside the door You’ve been carrying them for so long but you don’t need them anymore Time to call the tailor for a better fit But first things first, you’ve gotta to get over it Call...

A frog becomes a prince Upon a kiss from his true love Constellations from below Look different from above A sullen heart one tick away From unspeakable delight And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright A day it ends exactly Once a new day has begun An axis in a steady state of Spinning towards the sun And what’s the point in dreaming If we only dream at night But it’s alright, baby it’s alright You can...

You’ve got a lot of balls up in the air Never one to go the safest route You took a detour on a dare Now I’m looking forward to checking it out There’s no limitation on your imagination You shoot unscripted on location In the dead of night You set your feet and see it through It’s all I’ve ever seen you do In the easy light You took up painting just a year ago Now you’re selling out the gallery Yo...

I thought I knew you But I guess I never knew you at all You led me on Before you led me astray I’ve been sitting here for hours Waiting for you to call It never had to be this way I gave you more than I Gave anyone before I had a room reserved with every amenity You changed your mind But did you need to rob me blind Was it a case of mistaken identity You’re like a see saw up and down Then it’s no...

When the sun goes down In a quiet town The streets are dark Not a soul around In a quiet town At the foot of a Round and rolling hill The shops are closed And the streets are still In a quiet town The moon’s alone not a dog in sight It’s the quiet start to a quiet night In a quiet town The shades are drawn Like a silhouette The oven’s hot And the table’s set For the daily bread Children go on Abou...

You don’t always know when it’s time to go Till the walls cave in or you stub your toe And the window’s closed cause you move too slow to fly I keep a bag packed, one foot out the door Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July Lord knows life ain’t always a hallmark movie But it keeps coming at you, good and bad, ready or not Inste...

Tennessee’s been calling to me for a little while I’ve never been more than taking a spin down a country mile At night I go there in my dreams Float above cool mountain streams Nothing had ever been as it seems Until I seen you smile I’ve watched the stars come out one by one on a winter night I’ve seen fireflies dance on a meadow in the moonlight If it’s too forward, then I beg your pardon But if...

You’re riding on the L train You’re studying a new maze You’re up until the sunrise You’re headed to the next phase Moving up the ladder Fighting through some old ways Open up the curtains You’re headed to the next phase One day your stitches will be but a scar (you’ll wear them like a badge of honor) And you know you’ve already come so far Now you’re riding on the L train Not thinking bout the ol...

I’ve got a secret That fits in my hand And I mean to keep it for now You understand And I’m on an airplane And you’re on the sea And one day we’ll marry Underneath the sycamore tree Laughter lasts like late summer rain Thistle and down dance in auburn hair You blithely beg me to please explain But when I open my hand There’s nothing there I’ve got a secret If you’ve got a dime But I aim to keep it...

Winter’s coming haven’t seen you round here for a while Frost has covered the ground where you walked away Fevered strumming like a new religion on trial Down and out about the time I tried to make you stay Corner table At the Cafe New endcap name your price so we can hang a sign Go low but don’t step over the invisible line Straight shot, now you can toss it in the cart with mine Two for one as l...

You think you’re walking down a dead end street Your ego’s talking but you can’t compete A hunter stalking for his winter meat But it’s just a bone You heard the story how the west was won The second coming of the favorite son He’s counting down the ending three two one On a microphone No wrong answers You’re stuck in your mind On questions meant to keep you under Woke from a daydream Starting to...

I’ve been thinking about this place we call the old US of A A beautiful experiment gone horribly astray United ain’t the first word that comes to mind today While we’re on the brink of throwing it all away And lately you might say we got ourselves into a jam Some might argue it’s the track that we’ve been on since vietnam So I’m typin out a letter to my dear old uncle Sam With a new American anthe...

Clouds go slowly by my window This summer nearly every day I’ll sit and watch em pass Forget about the hourglass Just kinda dream the day away Some days I don’t even leave the house No one comes knocking on my door It’s the perfect alibi In case you ever wonder why I don’t really see you anymore Time goes on but clouds are Never really gone The forecast has no bearing on the sky above I only want...

The winds are whining Soft and low To a static hum On the radio Last day on earth Last day on earth The screens are dark The birds are flown A black cat crosses The street alone Last day on earth While echoes slow At different speeds Shadows blow through Like tumbleweeds Last day on earth Last day on earth When no one’s left To play pretend That the whole world’s not About to end Last day on earth...

They told you how it’s gotta be But old friend you never asked me You can paint inside the lines Obey all the traffic signs Blink twice if you want to break free They told you if you want to advance You’ve gotta put on your tap shoes and dance Put on a little show Sing to the back row Only then they just might give you a chance You don’t want to be stuck Spinning wheels in the muck With your armch...

You don’t know me But I know you A weed in the garden You reluctantly grew You took to the stage And we stuck like glue A turning the page A new golden age And I had no way to tell you What you meant to me How you gave my soul One good shot at getting free So I’m writing it down But you’ll never see And it’s alright It’s alright with me And every town We traveled through On a quest for the perfect...

Peripheral Vision Blues (live) by Adam Dunetz

The odds were stacked against us Ever making it this far Like m&m’s in a jar We were one in a million I always figured in the end It would just be me and my guitar On a stool in some bar Or the occasional pavilion Some dreams went unexpressed But we never could have guessed How we ended here From where we were back then Think once Think twice Think three times It would be so nice If we could find...

Nothing new just taking in the view from the underground Time to kill in a hole to fill sit still don’t make a sound Old friends turned to loose ends they don’t ever come around When you’re underground It’s cold down here when the ghosts appear through an open door They’re a lot like you they just walk right through and settle on the easy score Two ton casket no sympathy can mask it anymore When y...
