Come Home 02:31
lyrics

I don’t want to spend another holiday Looking at pictures of you so far away I will love you ‘til the day I die We will never have to cry again Come home Come home All of these faces mean nothing to me They’re going places, I got no place to be I will love you ‘til the day I die Together we will spread our wings and fly Come home Come home What can I do to show you that I can Be a husband, be a father, be a man I will love you ‘til the day I die We will never have to say goodbye again Come home The door is open for you anytime Come home

Head Over Heels 02:24

I can’t believe it came true I was just looking for you Then you came at me With those red pants on I was already gone I was already gone gone gone Head over heels It’s so easy to lie To betray who you are inside Your inner beauty Slapped me in my face I was already way I was already way way way Head over heels I can’t believe it came true I was just looking for you Then you came at me With those red pants on I was already gone I was already gone gone gone Gone gone gone Head over heels (Gone gone gone) Head over heels (Gone gone gone) Head over heels (Gone gone gone)

Like a Wave In the Sea 02:14
lyrics

Time Where did my time go? It melted like snow Dissolved like a wave in the sea I tried To hold onto memories Pictures and words It all meant so much to me I took a walk on a sunny day The wind in my hair And I closed my eyes Apologized As if you were there Time Where did my time go I don’t know It’s all a mystery I looked out across the lake In the soft morning light And I whispered in To the wind “This doesn’t feel right” Time Where did my time go? It melted like snow Dissolved like a wave in the sea

Daughter or Son 02:02
lyrics

Daughter or son I’ll take either one I don’t care Sure I’m scared Will I be a good dad Or will I make you sad I’m gonna try to try my best Gonna get these demons off my chest I’m committed to you through and through Now our biggest mistake Would be not to take this chance We’ll make circumstance our reality Whatever we want it to be Our little family Daughter or son I’ll take either one I don’t care Sure I’m scared Am I good enough Or will I screw it up I’m gonna try to try my best Gonna remember that it’s not some test That there’s no better or worse than the rest I’m committed to you through and through As the years fly by It feels like I’m in a trance We’ll make circumstance our reality Whatever we want it to be Our little family Daughter or son I’ll take either one We’ll have so much fun Sharing our lives together

Red Eyes 01:42
lyrics

Red eyes of September come Creeping through the morning To erase the sun I can’t leave if I can’t see Red eyes of September Why do you haunt me Blue daffodil Beneath the trees Oh how I envy your life of ease One day I will get there too And blow through the breezes Just like you Red eyes of September dawn Make me feel sorry For the way it’s all gone Was I just to blind to see That you and I were meant to be Red eyes of September Why do you haunt me

Picking Up the Pieces 02:44
lyrics

I’m picking up the pieces of me Scattered on the floor First you flipped the table that night Then you declared a war I’ve been working on this puzzle Since the day that I was born Now I’m picking up the pieces again And maybe I don’t want to anymore First rebuild the outside Then rebuild the core First you’ll see nothing but the ocean And then You’ll start to see the shore I’ve been rebuilding this puzzle Over and over The edges are all worn I just can’t keep it together Another day another storm Some pieces of me Exist only as memories Some pieces of me Are gone with the wind Examining life’s contours Well it can really make you think How does it all fit together so nice How is it all so in sync I’ve been staring at this puzzle For so long I forgot to blink So I take my eyes to the stars and I wait for them to wink Some pieces of me Exist only as memories Some pieces of me Are gone with the wind I’m picking up the pieces of me Scattered on the floor First you flipped the table that night Then you declared a war Some pieces of me Exist only as memories Some pieces of me Are gone with the wind

Pink Elephant 03:02

Don’t think about her It’ll just cause pain Up in your brain It’ll drive you insane Don’t think of her smile In the setting sun It was all so fun She was the one I can’t get over it She’s my pink elephant I try not to think of her Which makes me think of her She’s my pink elephant I don’t want to get over it Don’t think about her In someone else’s bed It’ll fuck with your head You’ll wish that you were dead You said you want a family I said I do too But you didn’t believe me Did you I don’t want to brand this brand new world I just want my girl To have and to hold ‘Til death do us part I can’t get over it She’s my pink elephant I try not to think of her Which makes me think of her She’s my pink elephant I don’t want to get over it Don’t think about her Looking in your eyes When you said goodnight Just turn out the light I can’t get over it She’s my pink elephant I try not to think of her Which makes me think of her She’s my pink elephant I don’t want to get over it I don’t want to get over it I don’t want to get over it

Bells 02:00
lyrics
buy track
I hear bells in the distance Overwhelmed by the sounds of garbage trucks The scent is really strong As I walk slowly along And your ghost tells me what I did wrong I hear bells ringing outside As I order a cup of hot coffee We always loved this place And I can still see your face Across from me in the empty space Oh I probably shouldn’t come here anymore I should probably throw my keys out the window After I lock the door Let the darkness consume me So my soul will finally be free And I don’t have to live with your memory I hear bells in the evening As I sit down to write my last goodbye It was fun while it lasted But now I have to die Or try To move past it

Run Backwards 02:36
lyrics
buy track
When you forget your dreams And nothing is quite what it seems Don’t hold your ground Run backwards Run backwards When the world is on stilts And your head is in the toaster oven Don’t hold your ground Run backwards You know You don’t know what you need You know You don’t know where to go When your eyes are closed for good And the laughing stops Don’t hold your ground Run backwards Run backwards Run backwards

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen. ... more
