Default Thieves With Good Intentions

Something to steal
something to write our names on
something to makes us
feel free
could we be

Thieves with good intentions
Sinners that save lives
Someone you wanna see on the street
could we be

You didn't steal my heart
sometimes i wish you did
could you call my name
save me
could you be

a thief with good intentions
a sinner that saves lives
someone i wanna see on the street
could you be

I should've said something
but i was lost for words

a thief with good intentions

find a word that rhymes with intentions and change the song to simply 'Good Intentions'. It just sounds better to me for some reason. You need help filling in those blank spots?

Like, have you ever heard the rumor that you can drop cash on the street in Tokyo and the people are so honest that someone will find it, pick it up, and take it to the cops? Well, that's absolutely 100% not true, because I once found a plain envelope on the ground with "6,000 yen" written on it. Inside was 6,000 yen. I put it in my pocket and kept walking.

unfortunately the recording wasn't all that great because the guitar sounds like it has distortion.

Default How To Catch the Sparrow *Download Link included*

Download "How To Catch the Sparrow" Demo
We were all one young
runnin out into the rain when we weren't supposed to
climbin trees and scrapin knees
it was the only way to teach us pain

Mother Sky
father sea
please help me

The rain will die but tomorrow
we'll learn how to catch the sparrow

Brother flame
sister tree
please save me

I can't write this song the way
it was meant to be
i am sorry
could you forgive me

Grandpa gun
grandma flower
please find me*

we live and die, but we lie (x4)

Default Dragonflies (Dedicated to Jake Ita)

I wish you could stay awhile
I wish you could stay

Than, maybe I'd know you
Maybe you could tell me yourself

Do you know right from wrong
what is your favorite song
cause maybe we could sing-along

but we know that the dragonflies
always leave when someone dies

Whose fault?
Does it matter?
you're up in the sky
you must've been a good man
because so many people down here
love you, love you

Do you know right from wrong
what is your favorite song
cause maybe we could sing-along

but we know that the dragonflies
always leave when someone dies

Default If I Fell Into Black Water

If i fell into black water
would you save me
if you ran away
from home
i'd run away with you
and we'd be the best of friends

and then the cops'll come
lookin for us
and we'd hide
under the bed in
that cheap motel

if this was the last time
i saw you
than i'd kiss you goodbye
but we believe
that we're invincible
nothing can hurt us
nothing can hurt you

we stole a blue car
and drove outa this shity state
somethin you'd say
"I Love this air i'm breathin"

If i fell into black water
would you save me
if you ran away
from home
i'd run away with you

if this was the last time
i saw you
than i'd kiss you goodbye
but we believe
that we're invincible
nothing can hurt us
nothing can hurt you
i even got the guitar finished.
