• a.m.w.

  lyrics by John Wesley
  
  i said i’m going to california
  said i’m going to california baby
  i can’t take no wife or kids
  
  i learned it from this book i read
  it said you’ve got to find your bliss
  you’ve got to find your bliss
  
  so sorry, so sorry
  i said i’m going to california baby
  so sorry, so sorry     
  
  

• walls of america

  lyrics by John Wesley
  
  christmas came and went again
  well, no more will i hurt
  momma tries to play it off
  says maybe he had to work
  
  you know i need next to nothing
  but all you need is you
  you build walls across an ocean
  walls i can't get through
  
  you see i’m standing here
  staring at the walls of america
  are you hiding there safe behind your walls
  you know i’m stranded here
  searching all the walls of America
  no more
  
  you said, god she looks just like me
  the first time that we met
  you looked in me for signs of you
  now it's me that you regret
  
  you've built walls across an ocean
  safe behind you hide
  an ocean i can't swim through
  for me there is no other side
  
  well i’m standing here
  staring at the walls of america
  are you hiding there safe behind your walls
  well i’m stranded here
  searching all the walls of america, no more
  
  skype dreams and birthday scenes
  is all i know of you
  i dream that you come for me and carry me, carry me into the arms of america
  safe into the arms, of america
  safe in your arms, to america
  
  

• a glittery nothing

  lyrics by John Wesley
  
  you’re going again so fast
  what isn’t real won’t last
  i never pushed you away
  i never pushed you away
  pushed you away
  
  you’ve got it worse than me
  i get to where i can’t breath
  well i just push it away
  i push it away
  push it away
  
  you see, we get to choose the people we lose
  you just walk away, you just walk away
  have you got so blind
  have you lost your mind
  have you nothing to say
  there is nothing to say
  
  i’ve got a box you made
  filled with your countless charades
  a glittery nothing inside
  there was nothing inside
  you are nothing inside
  
  you see, we get to choose the people we lose
  you just turn away, just turn away
  later you find, alone with your kind
  they’ve nothing to say
  
  they’ve nothing to say
  you see, we get to choose the people we lose
  you turn them away, turn them away
  years later you find, alone with your kind
  the girl is ok, she’ll be ok
  
  i remember a dream on the pond
  you showed me the geese and the swans
  showed me the lilies so strong
  the lilies so strong, how’d you get it wrong
  showed me the lily so strong
  how’d you get us so wrong
  
  

• still waiting

  lyrics by John Wesley
  
  send up a flare when you’re finally there
  you, i can no longer defend
  i stare into the west
  for some sign of the quest
  that bade you go into the sun
  
  i’m waiting, waiting for your sun to shine
  yes i’m waiting, waiting for your
  
  the river runs cold, the arcs stand bold
  awaiting your triumph to come
  we stay behind
  while you’re off to find
  the promise of hollywood’s forgotten sons
  
  i’m waiting, waiting for your sun to shine
  yes i’m waiting, waiting for your
  
  

• lost

  lyrics by John Wesley
  
  i’ve come a long long way to find you
  if i’m forgotten, i could remind you
  
  are you lost, i feel lost, are we lost
  
  promise i will not tire or bore you
  it’s from a distance i adore you
  
  are you lost, i feel lost, are we lost 
  see yourself in a little girl’s dream
  
  weekends too much for daddy it seems
  birthdays and holidays trickle on through
  not that it matters
  cause she’ll always love you
  
  are you lost, are we lost, i feel lost
  
  you’re like santa claus or the easter bunny
  you fight with mom and blame the money
  
  are you lost, i feel lost, are we lost
  are you lost, i feel lost, you’re so lost
  
  

• firelight

  lyrics by John Wesley
  
  
  it is the same old ruin,
  it is the same old wrong
  there’s no forgiveness in empathy
  a wrong is still a wrong
  
  if we were hand in hand
  would we both understand
  you see i’m growing up in innocence
  in apathy
  you do the best you can
  
  would you believe, do you believe in me
  would you believe, don’t you be leaving me
  
  the truth it came to me
  we know not what we do
  we were lost in the firelight
  oh this insanity
  well i was never lost to you
  we were lost in firelight
  well i was never lost to you
  
  would you believe, do you believe in me
  would you believe, don’t you be leaving me
