Here We Go
It’s Ok/come on now/we got a lot of stuff to do
take your face off the floor/pick it up/pick it up now
I’m alright I can drive/you like to take your time
Take your face off the floor/you gotta take your time sometimes
Come on/Here we go/you’re driving me lazy
Everyone seems so crazy/I’m alive on my own
I got a lot of stuff to do
I’m alive without lights/I learn to stay inside
Everyone’s out all night/but I’m cozy and safe in here

Happy Never After
Grades will always change/age is just an age/and no one knows you better
Teach a lesson never learned/so tired of being burned/can’t escape my anger
A student lost in time/victim of a crime/and nobody knew better
Age is just a cage/where novelty remains/happy never after
We will always be/unhappily never after
A spirit lost in time/a victim of a crime/and nobody knew better
I was lost and never found/you never came around/and I never knew better
Another lost in time/a victim of a crime/and nobody knew whether
Rage is just a cage/where novelty remains/happy never after
We will always be together you and me happy never after
Grades will always change/age is just your rage/and nobody knows better
Teach a lesson never learned/tired of being burned/can’t conceal my anger
A student lost in time/the victim of a crime/and nobody knew better
Age is just a cage/where novelty remains/happy never after

Woke World
There was a time/i could walk down the street/and wink to a passerby
There was a time/I could flirt with a girl/and they in turn replied
There was a time/I could offer a hand/and no one said a word
There was a time/ I could act like a man/but now its just absurd
Cause we’re living in a woke world
Destroying statues/denying history
We’re living in a woke world/a cancel culture
Go back to your misery
There was a time/i could open a door/for a lady walking through
Now its a crime/masculinity fails/its the toxic thing to do
There was a time/I could joke with a friend/and laugh like buddies will
Now its a crime/sensitivity wails/is it time to take your pill?
And if I ask you nicely/what’s your sign/you say i’ve gone too far
And then you tell your boss/this guys a creep/I’m going down to HR

Something More

Something More
All I lost in my mind/i never knew anyway
Everything on my fingertips/slips out/gets tossed away
I needed something more/always something more
Always something wrong
I’m looking up/you’re looking down
Can’t find common ground

Lacy
Back in the day/my memory slides
I think of you all the time Lacy
Now I’m a family man/you’re in my mind again
Oh how it used to be Lacy
Satin/garders/stockings/flowers
Fine wine/showers/and more
We ran on borrowed time/mixing your life with mine
Nothing we couldn’t find Lacy
All of this and much more/you were the curse and cure
Opening every door Lacy
Nothing but lost and found/you turned my life around
Somebody new in town Lacy
I thought I needed something more
I let myself walk out the door

From A Lover
So yeah breathing time/its 326 in the morning
Technically thursday morning
I been riding since two in the afternoon
I don’t need a lot from a lover
I don’t need a lot
And um, yeah, so there was a listen today
There was a listen on the ride home on Sunday morning
I um don’t need a lot from a lover
I have better insight/just like going over like
you have friday night really and saturday
So like a day and a half/that i could’ve
That I wish that i could’ve fixed

Heads off to Ben Gardner
Fresh off the war and the Fall of Saigon
The summer folks ahead were not prepared
With lines ‘round the corner a half mile long
The faint of heart were running scared
Below the surface where the murky oceans simmer
The shallow waters served the Kitner boy for dinner
Down in the blue, off the shores of the vineyard
Lies a boat,
Not afloat
A shot-glass tooth
Left behind by a ruthless killer
In Gardner’s boat
Ben Gardner’s boat
Heads off to Ben Gardner
The onlookers watched with their car keys handy
Projectors rolled throughout the heat
No appetite for popcorn or for candy
As spectators jumped up from their seat
The crowd was intense with their heart rate throbbing
At the sight of the head out of nowhere bobbing

The End Defined
Nearly died of a heart-attack
When i thought you weren’t coming back
Based on my track record dear
Doesn’t seem so long ago
We were happy just getting old
Truth is never what you’re told now is it dear
Nearly died when I lost it all/all defines the end
Barely tried but i won it all/all defines the end
Nearly won but i lost it all
Could’ve run when it got too cold
Truth is never what you’re sold now is it dear
Doesn’t seem so long ago
We were happy, fat, and old
Truth is never what I told you is it dear?

Everything went wrong
Nothing left but song

No Seatbelt
She picked a winner/raised a thumb at the side of my GTO
Hopped in the vacant seat/said hit the pedal/its time to go
Fasten up i said/we’re moving fast
No she said/this night ain’t gonna last
I love the sound of the seatbelt chime
And the feel of a roofless night
Onward we fled everything was alright/dead
Is it me or are we on our way towards paradise?
I don’t know about you/but i see a very attractive light up ahead
Grab me by the waist baby/we are on our way

Clouds
Can’t find a summer day/when i’m with you
Can’t chase the clouds away/from all that you choose
Sometimes I find myself alone in what i feel

The Wood Floors Manchester, New Hampshire
In 2003 Chris Howe and Eric Scheiner formed The Wood Floors as an experimental side project to capture the creative Muse the
moment she entered the room. 19 years and 60-plus releases later, the “side” project has grown into something bigger than either had envisioned.
Twenty years later James Jude joins the band bringing songwriting, vocals, and guitar abilities to the fold.
