Branched Out

It was October Nineteen ninety nine another plan day in primary

But this day was unlike any other, I meet this girl by the slide

She threw bark N things for a way to make friends weird as it seems

I believed her ‘she’d become my swim partner then sooner my best friend

Sitting outside the clinic playing in a old tree singing and playing

Became a fan site after a short while

Kids got married in the tree of hopes & dreams

Till one day my dad came too school and told me it was time to go

Grabbed my bags and things never to return again

Two thousand Went to a new school with no slides just poles

And a few swinging things

Meet some nice kids in a while became good friends with them

They were older then me and left for intermediate without me

Making new friends again in the year to follow

Friended the crazy ones, scary ones, creepy ones, weird ones

Every category was filled I hadn’t a care in the world

Who I was friends with

Two thousand and two went too a new school so uncool closer to my old school then once before

But this time I knew the kids from the old school

We’d break the rules to make our own ones

Wag classes to hang out under the trees

Id meet up with my mate from primary

Who’d come to borrow the facilities

Great fun everyone began to know each other

Even skipped school to go buy candy

Two thousand and fours started High school

New faces but same old game ‘these kids were all from my first primary

Little bit of catching up too do’

Ain’t fun when the sun changes and friends turn out not to be the same

Lost a few but gained a handful

I yet again friended the weird ones but the loved ones

Everyone from primary was yet together again

Yet not under the tree but by the

(No water supplied) drinking fountain

Year nine was a great year lots of fun,

Like nineteen ninety nine again

Lucky for second chances,

Soon the year was coming to a end

We were in for a split up again

year ten came around the coroner and the kids were no where too be seen

Some left the town for a better life to fitful their dreams

But my ones & onlys were still there ‘so it was ok

Soon the dice started to role and life’s started to change

Moving countries started a

Favourite fashion for a while “keep in touch”

Two thousand and eight moved again

Australia was on the horizon

I left the ones who left me

But wished we stayed in for the final song

Started new school again what a dilemma so much of a drama

“Last year of high school “so not a big deal

Same old stories different appeal

School formal came around ‘worst & last ever ‘even the city cried

Rained the night away

But the year was so much fun

Horticulture & photography

Turned out to be fun

Only thing that’s on my mind

Where are you now?

Im still standing here waiting for the date to come around

Ain’t a day till the day we decided to sing?

Ill be waiting, you’ll be dating

The time where we can all meet up

See you at the tree which branched us out

For a successful future

Shutter yourself

People sit and stare

Grow up to become unpopular

Just the kind to always have something on their minds

There isn’t a moment where they aren’t there

We’d be doing our own thing and they appear

Till the day grass turns gold and clouds look a little bit sweeter

Ill be hiding out hoping to figure out what the followers are on about?

From a late night show too morning paper

And there we go

Sitting over the road like they aren’t there

Ain’t no cloak going to hide these thoughts in their minds

Flash flash shutter sounds everywhere

doesn’t anyone care that if I trip over and lose my crown

Front paper next day

my best beat has my heart on the rerun

Oh what a good night

People sit and stare

Grow up to become unpopular

Just the kind to always have something on their minds

Till the day grass turns gold and clouds look a little bit sweeter

Ill be hiding out hoping to figure out what the followers are on about

Flash flash shutter sounds everywhere

Unlocked Tonight"

Everything makes it better when’ you’ve answered the questions right

We spill the gossip in the death of the night

Ill answer your words if I never have to listen through yours

I felt a moment pass where I left the key to

My secret life open you had a chance

But you left it

The world around us feels so closed in

Is there a way for me to believe in ‘what’s around us

You lost the imagination before you could relies it was even there

Now you expect me to live a life “ Unbelieved totally unfair

I felt a moment pass where I left the key to my secret life open

You had a chance but you left it

One in a million and I befriended it

Everything makes it better when you’ve answered the questions right

Ill wait for you tonight to say the final Good Night

Drowning Day

I've had it up to a flying tide

Ain’t no wave going to wash it away?

Give a lot too lose a little (then a lot)

Forever making sense of what’s in my mind

Only finding it down the drain after one night

Bring the circus together be clear

There isn’t a mile im walking to make you mine?

I’ve had it up to a flying tide

Ain’t no wave going to wash it away?

Spreading rumours to make sense

Hinting to find the gold of genies

Rolling eyes

staying close too change the colour of your mood ring

Friendship is just another painkiller aka easy overdose

See the clouds in the sky tonight

Flying first site of day ain’t no way im turning around

All that I see, all that you’ve wanted me too be

Isn’t what im seeing

im seeing me, them “on the runway track?

Hoping to make it home in time before

The hours disappear in the desperate flickers of today

I’ve had it up to a flying tide

Ain’t no wave going to wash it away

Give me air to breathe

im taking the wave in this tide today

Drown me in my own grief silently so they wont hear

Ain’t no ring gonna change the mood

Ain’t no sign gonna change this blessing
