Things

The blog made me do it.

THINGS.mp3 [01.24.07]

(Original art by my brother...I thought it sort of fit the mood/idea for this song).

Seriously, this blog has been the best thing for my songwriting since my college days relationship angst songs...that and not watching the t.v. or using the computer as much.

Things
words and music by Steven Wesley Guiles

VERSE 1
Take all my things, all that junk, the television
My radio, my books and my magazines

I try too hard, to hold on to the things that I don't
Really need, cause then I need something new to fill the hole

PRE-CHORUS
Brothers, Sisters, my heart blisters with the heat of the sun

CHORUS
Things I have that I can't keep
Pretty lights beyond my reach
Things I have that I can't see
Holding me here in my sleep
Things I try and let them go
but things are all I know

VERSE2
yeah I know, I know that I, can't take it with me
Sometimes that's all I need, some knowledge that'll set me free

I try too hard, to hold on to the things that I don't
Really need, cause then I need something new to fill the hole

PRE-CHORUS

BRIDGE
the only wa-ay, this goin' to stop
the only wa-ay is to get rid of those

CHORUS
Things I have that I can't keep
Pretty lights beyond my reach
Things I have that I can't see
Holding me here in my sleep
Things I try and let them go
but things are all I know
