lyrics

I watched the sky turn orange from blue
God only knows how long I waited for someone like you
It's gonna take some time to make it, and I only wanna make it with you
Life is ours for the taking, and I'm gonna take it with you

But most nights I sleep on my own
And every time you're heading home
I wish that that was just the two of us all alone,
Oh, it's a cruel joke
Yes, it's a cruel joke to sleep alone

The sun rose above the dewy lawn
I woke before my favorite song
And my first thought is always of her
And how I wish things were

I'm dreaming of a better place
In a different country, or at least a different state
Just you and me, a dog, and a kid- if I can convince you
And I'll be happy
Yes, I'll be happy, 'cause I'll never have to miss you

Oh, it's a cruel joke
Oh, it's a cruel joke
Yes, it's a cruel joke to sleep alone

"three"
by Diners

Some of the most genius contemporary songwriting, arrangement, and production. Always helps when I'm feeling down to cheer me up and make me feel less alone. Ralph Rogers Records

Doing Melting
by Rick Alvin

Rick Alvin is one of the greatest experimental pop musicians of our time. The way he synthesizes ideas baffles me. This one is a little weirder but, dang, that first track, man. Ralph Rogers Records

Girls

If it weren't for this band, I probably wouldn't make music. Seriously. Ralph Rogers Records
