Summer Was A Carpet

When we left New Jersey for New Orleans
We knew we'd be back
And eventually you would leave me
When you packed your things for university
I understood
95 never looked so good
Summer was pulled out from beneath our feet
And we can never go back
To New Orleans
When I drove to see you for Halloween
We weren't the same
And when it came time to leave
I drove home through the leaves and thought of June
Summer was pulled out from beneath our feet
And we can never go back
To New Orleans

I know where you went that night
You didn't go home
But I'm not sure of how you feel
If you were just too tired
You didn't have to lie
And make it all so complicated
I thought things were pretty clear
When we got off the phone
But I'm not sure of how I feel
And I am just so tired
I ain't gonna lie
And make it all so complicated

Ten whole years after I met this girl
I fell in love with her
and I why I had to wait so long
I'll never know
I was just a teenager with Rock 'N' Roll on my mind
She was just a teenager a couple grades behind
and I never knew that it could be as good as this
I never knew, I never knew
am I crazy or just crazy for Jennifer?
I only wish I didn't have to wait
We went to a football game, we went to the park
We laid on the floor in her room and looked at the stars

Ultimate Test

Years ago I would have said
A clumsy fool like me deserves
Opposite of all these things given to me
And saying this I recognize
My selfishness, my foolish lies
And all the reasons I've left to fight
And if I fall flat on my face
Try to forget all the mistakes I made and the rest
I put myself through the ultimate test
Years from now I'll just be glad
This clumsy fool once had the chance
To live inside this kind of life
And saying this I recognize
The love you'll find in other eyes
And how I should push you aside
And if I fall flat on my face
Try to forget all the mistakes I made and the rest
I put myself through the ultimate test

Amanda, I am sorry that I am here
And you're so very far away for me to feel near
And you know I've been waiting for someone
To lift me up out of these clouds I've known for so long
So baby don't go crying
Without me there to hold on to you and your hand
And tell you everthing is gonna be okay
We'll be together someday
I never thought i'd ever get the chance
To be with you and tell you how much all this makes sense
And now that we have parted please don't forget
I'll always be willing to give you all that I can
So baby don't go crying
Without me there to hold on to you and your hand
And tell you everthing is gonna be okay
We'll be together someday

The Way It Is Chicago, Illinois
Michael R. Sanchez "lives" in Chicago, IL.
The Way It Is recommends:
The Graze is easily my favorite band in Seattle. Louis O'Callahan's writing style is right up my alley, it doesn't do him justice to say but he could be Kurt Cobain and Jeff Mangum's bastard child.

My Seattle friends Levi and Casey are two of the most talented musicians I know. Check out this wonderful album written and recorded in one weekend...
