Pieces of Me
By Eric Baines

Making funny faces ‘cross the room
Making sure you’re always in my view
I would make the whole world stop except for me and you
If you asked me to
I’d do anything for you

You are a piece of me now
You are the piece in me now
You are a piece of me now and always will be
I’m collecting pieces of me

Go on try to shake me if you can
I’ll be there to catch you when you land
I know things don’t always go exactly how you planned
But just touch my hand
And try to understand

You are a piece of me now
You are the piece in me now
You are a piece of me now and always will be
I’m collecting pieces of me

If I ever have to live without you
I’ll mope around in disbelief
Then when I get my shit together
I’ll search to find my missing piece

You are a piece of me now
You are the piece in me now
You are a piece of me now and always will be
I’m collecting pieces of me

Don’t Be Like Me
By Eric Baines

Ain’t it weird that I don’t like the same things as you do
I guess that means that one of us is better than the other dude
You like getting up at 6 am and working hard all day
I like getting up at noon and getting paid while I play

Yeah I guess you’re right I’m a jerk
I’m the evil one
Staying up all night
Singing songs until the crowd is done

Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)

I don’t have a pension plan a house or health insurance
You have got three mortgages and 7 kids to finance
You put on a suit and spend the day doing things you despise
I make money drinking booze and watching people exercise

Yeah I guess you’re right I’m a jerk
I’m the evil one
Staying up all night
Singing songs until the crowd is done

Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)

You are what you thought you should be
Is that enough?
I am what I wanted to be
When I grew up

Ain’t it weird that I don’t like the same things as you do
I guess that means that one of us is better than the other dude
Who’s better???

Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)
Don’t Be Like Me (don’t be like me)

Everything
By Eric Baines

If all you were was beautiful
With sexy hair and big blues eyes
Then I would be the luckiest,
The one who gets your kiss goodnight

But you are more than pretty, you’ve got everything I need
Just to say ‘I love you’, It seems so incomplete

You’re the warmth that I reach for in the middle of the night
You’re a deep conversation on a ten hour flight
You’re the one that I dream of
You’re everything, you’re everything to me

Your hands are like a work of art
I love to touch your every curve
Your voice is like a lullaby
Your words are ones I’ve never heard

You are always funny I laugh at every joke
Sometimes they may be painful but they always give me hope

You’re the face that I search for in the middle of a crowd
You’re the calm, soothing whisper when the world gets too loud
You’re the one that I dream of
You’re everything , You’re everything to me

And I don’t care if your life takes you
A hundred fifty thousand mile away
Cause everything we have is everything I need
And everything is worth the wait

A bowl of soup at catering
An elevator kissing scene
Crunches in a hotel bed
Jager and a glass of red

Most of all I hate the part
Where I keep my cool, shut out my heart
It’s a stupid game that I don’t want to play

There’s a place where I can go
Where I’m the star and It’s my show
And nobody can tell me what to say

I’m gonna turn up loud and Rock the band
With my guitar, some booze and a one night stand

Cuz I’m a dive bar Rock star!
All of the light are on me
Yeah I’m a dive bar Rock star!

Get all my drinks for free
Yeah I’m a dive bar Rock star!
Dive bar Rock star!

Don’t look back, avoid the trap
I tell myself this useless crap
But in the end I just fall anyway

I’ll be happy soon enough
When I free myself from all this stuff
And let the music drown it all away

I can’t wait to turn up loud and Rock the band
With my guitar, some booze and a one night stand
Cuz I’m a dive bar Rock star!

All of the light are on me
Yeah I’m a dive bar Rock star!Get all my drinks for free
Yeah I’m a dive bar Rock star!
Dive bar Rock star!

If I never find her
Somebody remind her
That I was once inside her world
And made her shine

If I never see her
Somebody believe her
When she talks of Easter rain
And Valentine’s

Then it welled up in her eyes
Just like tears from the sky
Then she vanished in the quiet
Easter Rain

If I ever find her
I’ll try to provide her
With all the things denied her
In that Springtime haze

If I don’t get to tell her
Somebody should tell her
That I’ll always remember sunny
Easter days

Then it welled up in her eyes
Just like tears from the sky
Then she vanished in the quiet
Easter Rain

I’ll keep searching all my life just to tell it to her face
All the words I’ve kept inside all these thoughts I can’t erase
I’ll keep traveling through time I’ll keep wandering through space
Just to wash that Easter rain off of her face

Chorus

It was in late December you wore your Converse in the snow
But what you didn’t know was
I knew that you’d be coming and I shoveled so your path was clear
It was such a cold year

I drove you home at night
And I bought you Starbuck’s
You told you were scared the world was gonna end so come on

Please baby, baby kiss me
‘Cause I’ve been waiting such a long, long time
How can you still resist me?
If I’m wrong then cut the line
But if I’m right then tell me what I gotta do

We hung out all last Summer, we shared the hammock you and me
Beneath the back yard trees
I got so many phone calls, Kristina, Julie, Jenny Brown
And I turned them all down

I walked you ‘round the lake
And I bought you ice cream
You told me you felt so at home when you’re with me so come on

Please baby, baby kiss me
‘Cause I’ve been waiting such a long, long time
How can you still resist me?
If I’m wrong then cut the line
But if I’m right then tell me what I gotta do

I don’t wanna be just friends
I don’t wanna be just friends
I don’t wanna be your friend
Oops! I didn’t mean to say that

Chorus

I’ve been tired, since the day I was born
I rest my head on a cushion of thorns
And I’ve fought back ‘til my body was torn

This road has been rough but it’s never enough
To keep me from traveling on

I’ll be ok no matter what happens
Things always change sometimes for the better
I’ll be ok I’ll get what I’m after
I’ll find my way and the world will be mine someday

I’ve been down to the bottom and drowned
I’ve been treasure that has never been found
And I’ve been king but I’ve never been crowned

I won’t be done ‘til I know that I’ve won
‘til then I’ll keep traveling on

I’ll be ok no matter what happens
Things always change sometimes for the better
I’ll be ok I’ll get what I’m after
I’ll find my way and the world will be mine someday

The soles of my shoes are wearing away
But I’ll keep on walking anyway

I’ll be ok no matter what happens
Things always change sometimes for the better
I’ll be ok I’ll get what I’m after
I’ll find my way and the world will be mine someday

She comes home tired and dragging her head
She blurts out things she’s never said
She needs some magic to get her though
A little trick I like to do

Sometimes one time is not enough
And it just can’t wait for the weekend
I’ll take my time and do whatever it takes to make her feel good

16 on a Tuesday night
(Gimme one more, gimme one more)
16 on a Tuesday night
(Gimme one more, gimme one more)
16 on a Tuesday night
She’ll be feeling alright and we’ll do it all night

I watch the sweat drip from her face
She’s starts off staring into space
I can see she’s slowly coming around
I know she loves it when she makes that sound, yea

She comes to me to get her fix
And she gets it anytime she needs it
I’ll take my time and do whatever it takes to make her feel good

16 on a Tuesday night
(Gimme one more, gimme one more)
16 on a Tuesday night
(Gimme one more, gimme one more)
16 on a Tuesday night
She’ll be feeling alright and we’ll do it all night

Just lay your head down on my pilllow
And let me take off all your clothes
Just let your body take you over
‘cause I know how to make it go
And it goes and goes and goes and goes and goes

Chorus

We can listen to our favorite songs
And drink some wine and get along
But that’s not enough for her

We can drive around this crazy town
And have deep talks then clown around
But that’s not enough for her

We can let out all our deepest stories
Close our eyes make out ‘til morning
But that’s not enough

We can laugh and love and cry and cuddle
Fit just like a perfect puzzle
But that’s not enough

I can’t change her mind
And I can’t wait for time

She can’t be the one for me
‘cause it’s not enough
She can’t be the one for me
‘cause it’s not enough
Not enough

We can rattle off our poetry
And talk of how we used to be
But that’s not enough for her

Rubbing feet and holding hands
Staring eyes that understand
But that’s not enough for her

When we make love we leave the earth
And fill the sky with fireworks
But that’s not enough

I’d give up all I’ve got to have her
But that’s not enough

I can’t change her mind
And I can’t wait for time

She can’t be the one for me
‘cause it’s not enough
She can’t be the one for me
‘cause it’s not enough
Not enough

I gave it all, I gave it all
But it’s time to give up
I’ve given
Enough

She wakes to the ocean, from a box beside her bed
She pours herself coffee, takes some pills to clear her head
She tries to remember what she meant to do instead
Of being alone, with the weight of the world
On her shoulders

She dreams that she can fly and knows all the reasons why
With the lessons she’s learned she’ll get by
And she knows she’s breaking soon from the walls of her cocoon
Spread your wings and fly

She packs up her children sends them off to start they’re day
Her greatest creations, these four lives that she has made
A great consolation, for the life she had to trade
All of her plans, sit in a box
On her shelf

She dreams that she can fly and knows all the reasons why
With the lessons she’s learned she’ll get by
And she knows she’s breaking soon from the walls of her cocoon
Spread your wings and fly

Butterfly, Butterfly, Fly

She’s trying on colors, picking wings so she can fly
She’s searching for answers but they’re all inside her mind

She dreams that she can fly and knows all the reasons why
With the lessons she’s learned she’ll get by
And she knows she breaking soon from the walls of her cocoon
Spread your wings and fly

Baby
By Eric Baines and Jeddrah Schmit

I know you’re complicated
And I know you’re sad and jaded
But I know you’re softer side
The one you try to hide

I know you can’t afford to
Let one like me adore you
But I can’t help it now
You’ve got to me somehow

I can’t make this stick
I’ve tried every last trick

But if you were my baby
I’ve give it all to you
Girl, you drive me crazy
Don’t know what to do
To make you my baby

I’ve thought of every question
To find out your intention
But you keep dancing ‘round
This little place we’ve found

I know it’s not that easy
To confess that you need me
But I know you know it’s true
That’s why it bothers you

Help me make this stick
I need one more trick

‘cuz if you were my baby
I’ve give it all to you
Girl, you drive me crazy
Don’t know what to do
To make you my baby

I love the way you move
I love the things that you say
Right here staring at you
Is where I wanna stay

9 shots of Jager and I need you
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you
You are my lover, you’re my best friend
9 shots of Jager and I need you

Fill me up to the top
I’ll drink it down to the bottom
Everything that I’m not, I’ll become
And you’ll make me

12 shots of Jager and I feel you
It’s been too long and I know you
You’re checking your phone, and you’re feeling me
12 shots of Jager and I feel you

Fill me up to the top
I’ll drink it down to the bottom
Everything that I’m not, I’ll become
And you’ll make me

Most of the time I can drink all night
Pour me a glass and it treats me right
But once in a while when you are gone
The more I drink, the more I long for you

Fill me up to the top
I’ll drink it down to the bottom
Everything that I’m not, I’ll become
And you’ll make me
