    You can spend your time alone, re-digesting past regrets,
    Or you can come to terms and realize
    You're the only one who can't forgive yourself

    I love the music Ed gets out of a ukele (not to mention his bitchin vocals)

    If only four people are interested in hearing the album I am sure we could work something out to where we get it. :D

    Satellite


    it's no shame that
    love's a game that
    i can only play with you
    what i'm saying
    is i've been saving
    my love for you

    i've seen the light, i'm
    satisfied that
    the brightest star is you
    satellite, i'm
    holding tight
    beaming back to you

    days turn into
    nights turn into
    days turn into today
    don't think i'm out playing
    cause i'm inside waiting
    for you

    i've felt the light, i'm
    satisfied that
    the highest star is you
    satellite, i'm
    holding tight
    beaming back to you

    don't you worry
    i believe your story
    you were put away
    for something you didn't do
    what i'm saying
    is i'm saving
    my love
