they met at a coffee shop on banff avenue
everything was straight forward he went up and said how do you do?
they'd go on a few dates and have some fun stay out too late
have a couple of pints and say hello to the sun
does it even matter where the contrived misunderstandings arise
does it even change the fact that they have nothing in common
except a mutual level of physical attractiveness
your drunk best friend doesn't seem to mind
Cause life isn’t a rom com
There are no meet cutes
Life isn’t a rom com
Chances are you’ll die alone
(Unless of course you don’t)
On a dark and stormy night your true love bites the dust
You vow swift revenge, so bloody your blade will rust
The spirit of your lover appears to you in the foggy haze
It speaks in perfect verse and says it was your brother and his evil ways!
Does it even matter that this thing could be the devil itself?
Does it even change the fact that everyone knows how this one ends, but they don’t understand a word!
It still makes money anyway!
Cause life isn’t Shakespeare
There are no vengeful ghosts
Life isn’t Shakespeare
You’ll still likely die alone
(Unless of course you don’t)
Life is never simple
But as an old friend once said
"between tragedy and comedy
The only difference is how it ends”
Love is the simple thing
It makes the whole trip worth while
If you let yourself be loved
You just might not die alone
(Unless of course you do)

The Midnight Ranger

When I was six years old I went as Spider-man for halloween three times
When I was eight years old my homemade costume was bursting at the seams
I grabbed a cape and mask, threw on a french style hat
I was called the Midnight Ranger I rode a fire breathing horse
The Ranger rode across the land stopping any evil that he faced
Upon his trusty steed his legend would spread far and wide
Like a shadow in the sun, a light under the moon
Disappear on the horizon as if he was made of air
They all said 'hey I've never heard of this guy'
You can't make your own heroes from scratch
To that I say well just watch the Ranger ride
The only thing he can't do is fly

Because the Universe

Once upon a time I wrote a song about floating in space
(floating in space)
High above just about everything
Every little line a silly simile of the way I felt
Because the universe and me
Because the universe and you
The astronaut would meet a pretty girl and they'd fall in love
(they'd fall in love)
And when you asked something about I'd say something dumb
Honesty's overrated and a lie can fix well everything
Because the universe and me
Because the universe and you
I'm sorry it took me so long to say to you
All those things I wanted to say when I met you
Hop inside and we'll get back home soon
I won't keep you out late I promise I'll get you back by 8
Because the universe and me
Because the universe and you
Because the universe and me
Because the universe and you
Because the universe and me
Because the universe and you

A Memory

Well I waited for you on the side of the road
A Gatorade in hand and a hung over head
And you drove me to work and said I was a jerk
we’d be friends until we were dead
When you flew cross the sea I thought maybe
You’d have a change of heart instead
Well you lied to me when you said you played drums
how hard could it be to count to four and repeat?
And you asked me to be in the wedding party
Here I thought that was all obsolete
It’s an honour indeed now I think we need
To get three sheets to the wind
And it’s a hey ho, you can’t go it alone
We’ll all be there when it’s done
When you’re drunk and I’m high
And we play crack the sky
We will dance to the morning sun
I was drunk in a crowd when I first heard you sing
Everyone said you were so bloody cool
We played in a band, not the best in the land
But maybe the best at our school
I miss that all now but I try not to dwell
If I do I might break my own rules
And it’s a hey ho, you can’t go it alone
We’ll all be there when it’s done
When you’re drunk and I’m high
And we play crack the sky
We will dance to the morning sun
And it’s a hey ho, you can’t go it alone
We’ll all be there when it’s done
When you’re drunk and I’m high
And we play crack the sky
We will dance to the morning sun
We will dance to the morning sun
We will dance to the morning sun
