It's Strange

It’s strange
You make me want to stay the same
It’s strange
To feel trapped inside the game
It’s strange
To be betrayed by your best friend
It’s deranged
To stay here just as a means to an end
I’m tired
I’m tired
I don’t want to lose you
But you’re drifting from the shore
And I don’t want to one the one who
Let’s you slip out the door
It’s strange
I can’t even fake a smile
I may
Have to leave this town for a while

I want to know you better
I want to know you better
Your heart
Your beautiful heart
I want to know you better
I want to know you better
Your heart
Your beautiful heart
I want to know you better
I want to know you better
Your heart
Your beautiful heart
Your heart
Your beautiful heart

Still Shaking
03:40
|

You’ve got your love
Baby you’ve got your love
I’ve got my time
Baby I’ve got my time
I never wanted to be there
I thought you knew that it was true
You’re gone
And I’m still shaking
A summer love can easily be replaced
Take your pick from pornographic suburban daughters
The morning is heavy
I need something to make me new
You’re gone
And I’m still shaking
I’m still shaking
I like the way you make me feel ok
Like I’m real and not just some illusion
I want you to take me
Oh show me the real you
You’re gone
And I’m still shaking
Notice the breeze starting to blow cold
You better find a way to keep yourself warm, babe
You don’t even know me but I bet your probably think you do
You’re gone
And I’m still shaking
I’m still shaking
I can hear the icicles dripping down
Sometimes it feels like everything’s fucked up
The fact that you exist
Makes me want to continue on
You’re gone
And I’m still shaking
I’m still shaking
And I’m still shaking
I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna love you
I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna love you
I want to be with you

Love Letter #54
02:02
|

Oh
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
I don’t know what I’ve got to show
But I’m sure that if you stay with me tonight
Everything will be alright
Oh
Make an angel in the snow
Make the world around you glow
The choice is hard
But it is not mine to make
My heart is yours
To take
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
Oh
So many things that I want to know
All about your heart and soul
Your voice it make happy with who I am
You’re so much better than all them
Oh
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
I don’t know what I’ve got to show
But I’m sure that if you stay with me tonight
Everything will be alright

Lost Her
03:50
|
|||
I once held her in my arms
My one and only flame
Broken and bandaged I was
Thrown into the storm
She made me smile again
Now I’m so lonesome because
I lost her
This is all my fault
I lost her
She would’ve been better off
If I never had called
I don’t feel like eating no
There’s nothing for me here
And every smell makes me sick
Where else can I go?
I know I know I know
It’s not fair
It’s a dirty love trick
I lost her
This is all my fault
I lost her
She would’ve been better off
If I never had called
The sky is gray here every day
It’s always been that way
Everything stable and still
Open up your eyes
Read between the lines
And I’ll see you at the top of the hill
I’ll see you at the top of the hill
I’ll see you at the top of the hill
I’ll see you at the top of the hill
I’ll see you at the top of the hill
I’ll see you at the top of the hill

Do you remember weeks ago
I called you close in hopes to show
Love for you on bended knee
To tame the horse to plant the seed
To let the wind blow over
And to let the tide make curtains
Out of all my lust for living
And the dream of unrequited love returned
Your memory helps me pass the time
A vision of you still alive
Walking down the street somewhere
With golden flowers in your hair
Smiling like an angel
Who is lost but who is happy
With the gift that she is giving
And the holiness that she has truly earned
We walk among the autumn leaves
The crying sun the crooked trees
Fighting with the feeling
That my heart is what you’re stealing
As you dance alone to music
That only you can listen to
Like some enchanted meeting
Between heaven and an unfamiliar earth
I cannot express the sadness
That I feel when you are happy
To lay with you and realize
That everything will crumble
And that all that’s really real
Is this feeling that I feel
When I look into your eyes
When we talk and when we touch
And I tell you that I love you
|

Waking up next to you
Is my favorite thing to do
Just to kiss and hold you close
Show you who cares the most
One more morning
One more morning
One more morning with you
Superhuman
I’ve been doing
Everything that I can
To make you understand
That I really like you
I really do
And if I didn’t
I wouldn’t be here
One more morning
One more morning
One more morning with you
Plans cast shadows
On our weekend
Lay with me darling
Please make me smile again
One more morning
One more morning
One more morning with you
One more morning
One more morning
One more morning with you

I Came Back For You
04:11
|
|||
You don’t understand how hard it is
To just let things go
You’ve never had to leave behind
Everyone that you know
You’ve never been
Torn in two
I came back for you
I pick up on your implications
Our future unclear
Don’t give up on me so easily
Please don’t leave me here
All alone
With nothing to do
I came back for you
I’m not gonna change for you
I’d rather die
If you really wanna change me babe
Maybe it’s time to say goodbye
But remember when you’re with
Somebody new
I came back for you
So young and so full of life
So spoiled insane
Without you I’m leaving this one horse town
The same way I came
Gonna try and forget your name
And all the sweet love that we made
Gonna hang my head in shame
And if I ever feel
Like being blue
I’ll come back for you

Let the Breezes Blow
02:15
|
|||
The shadows on her eyes
The portrait of her thighs
The silence of her cries
Let the breezes blow
Let the breezes blow
The love inside her tears
The truth behind her fears
The deaf man who will hear
Let the breezes blow
Let the breezes blow
The strength between her words
The things that you have learned
The way she makes you yearn
Let the breezes blow
Let the breezes blow

If Only In My Dreams
03:43
|
|||
Open up your eyes
Let me see your soul
I don’t want to wake up
Tell me this is real
Dreams
If only in my dreams
I will be with you
Dreams
Are shorter than they seem
Let me touch you
Dawn is coming quick now
I can feel it in my soul
Please don’t let me wake up
I don’t want to wake up
Dreams
If only in my dreams
I will be with you
Dreams
Are shorter than they seem
Let me touch you

Thanks Alot

Well there’s not much left of me
I can’t even sleep
I thought that you loved me
Maybe not
Thanks a lot
Well I miss your siren kiss
And when you looked at me like this
All those lovely memories
Dead and left to rot
Thanks a lot
You were the one that wasn’t like them
You were my one and only friend
I saw a future with you in it
So I thought
Thanks a lot
I don’t know myself
I don’t belong here
I don’t know you anymore
I can’t stop these tears
Well I’m leaving here today
I’ve got no reason to stay
But it feels like something’s missing
Like I’ve been shot
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot

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.
