Seth Asa: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This wrote itself during a Pretty Youth session and, on the album "Dream:33", serves to introduce us to our main character, on his journey to fulfill his dreams.

no guarantees

last week you didn't get around
to living out your dreams
yesterday you didn't go anywhere
you only stared at the tv screen
there's holes in your cares that you tried to repair
you played with the thread and now they're starting to tear again
last week you didn't get around
to living out your dreams

no guarantees

you left your heart in a briefcase
on the steps by your back door
you didn't see you kicked it over and now
your love don't pump right anymore
reliving the time at the scene of the crime
where you compromised for a better life you
left your heart in a briefcase
on the steps by your back door

and it never rains but it pours

can't speak for the rest of the meek
but you're tired of feeling poor
days don't shine like nickels or dimes
but still you find you always need more
pennies to save, bridal bouquets
fashion crazes and words you can't say
can't speak for the rest of the meek
but you're tired of feeling poor

and they just keep taking more

last week you didn't get around to living out your dreams...

no guarantees
