Going Down Together © 2018 Piper Hays
Well I want be there for you baby
But it’s hard when there’s oceans in between
And I think of all the pain, I would wash away gladly
So why don’t we meet in the sea
And time’s never been an ally,
Hours come and go just like the wind
And I think of all the nights, we’ve watched turn into daylight
All of our glamorous sins, all of our glamorous
Well I don’t know what to say and there’s not much left to do
So just lay your troubled head next to mine
And it seems we’re going down but we’re going down together
So we better have a hell of a time
Yeah we better have one hell of a time
Well I know it can get so damn lonely,
When you’re off in distant lands all on your own
But I try to move on, grab a drink and be merry
Knowing that you are my home, knowing that you are my home
Cuz I don’t know what to say, and there’s not much left to do
So just lay your troubled head next to mine
And it seems we’re going down, but we’re going down together
So we better have one hell of a time
And it seems I’ve lost all of my marbles,
Can’t you see them scattered round the floor
Well i didn’t really like them bouncing round babe
And now my mind is just like yours
Well i don’t know what to say and there’s not much left to do
So just lay your troubled head next to mine
Cuz it seems we’re going down but we’re going down together
So we better have one hell of a time
Yeah we better have one hell of a time
We better have one hell of a time

For You © 2018 Piper Hays
Well I can’t comprehend all that you’ve been through
But don’t hide away locked up in your gloom
I know you don’t want to believe that it’s all true
Would it be okay if i was there for you
Look up let me see those big brown eyes
And don’t ever be sorry love, for those tears you cry
I know it gets lonely in your room late, late at night
Would it be okay if i stand by your side
So let's raise another glass to your friend on the moon
And be grateful that you got to love someone taken too soon
Well this life can be cruel but there’s more than one shade of blue
Would it be okay if I was there for you
And I just can’t comprehend all that you’ve been through
But please don’t hide away locked up inside your gloom
Yeah this life can be cruel but there’s more than one shade of blue
Would it be okay if i was there for you
Would it be okay if I was there for you

I’d Love To Change The World by Alvin Lee (modified by Piper Hays)
Everywhere is freaks and hairies
Dykes and fairies, tell me where’s humanity
Tax the rich, feed the poor
‘Til the poor don’t starve no more
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
Population keeps on breeding
Nation bleeding, still more feeding economy
Life is funny, skies are sunny
Bees make honey, who needs money, monopoly
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do
So I'll leave it up to you
World pollution, there's no solution
Institution, electrocution
Just black and white, rich or poor
Them and us, please stop the war
I'd love to change the world
But I don't know what to do, oh
So I'll leave it up to you
Yeah I’ll leave it up to you
So I’ll leave it up to you

Need To Be © 2018 Piper Hays
Don’t worry about tomorrow, just live for today
I know there is sorrow, but the sun shines anyways
You may feel like running, oh cuz that’s just what you know
But come take a breath with me baby, and take it slow
Sometimes you might not have a bed
Sometimes you might get dropped on your head
And sometimes you may wish you were dead
But just listen to me, you’re right where you need to be
You may have not planned it, asking Satan for advice
Just listen to some Bob Dylan man
And don’t think twice it’s alright, it’s alright because
Sometimes you might not have a bed
Sometimes you might get dropped on your head
Sometimes you may wish you were dead
But just listen to me you’re right where you need to be
And when you don’t have a bed
Or someone goes and drops you right on your head
Please don’t wish you were dead
Just listen to me, yeah, you’re right where you need to be

Let Me Be Me© 2018 Piper Hays
You want the best for me this I’m sure,
But that means I ain’t out and about anymore
Cuz you’ve clipped my wings now, and I just wanna fly
Keep me caged any longer mama, my light it will die
Well I’ve walked this road four billion times,
That I know it better than my own damn mind
Yeah I’ve seen every crevice, and I know every crack
And once I leave this town babe, I’m not looking back
My time is done here and it’s time to go
But you keep on saying I’m movin too slow
But you’re blocking the door now, come on let me leave
The only thing I’m asking is let me be me
Yeah I said the only thing I’m askin’ is, let me be me
I know that it’s hard to put your trust in me,
Cuz screwing up is my goddamn tendency
But I’m feelin’ good now mama don’t you know that I’m feelin’ mighty fine
And I’ll get better with age daddy, like your favorite wine
You keep on asking me to stay another day,
But I ain’t really got the heart to say
That I’m leaving tomorrow, gotta go chase the moon
I’ll just whisper I love you and promise to see you real soon
My time is done here and it’s time to go
And you keep on sayin’ that I’m moving too slow
But you’re blocking the door now, come on, come on come on come on come on, let me leave
Well the only thing I’m askin’ is let me be me
Yeah the only thing I’m askin is, the only thing I’m askin is, let me be me

Dark Part of Me © 2018 Piper Hays
It’s either fireworks or atomic bombs
We either fight in silence or sing each other’s love songs
When you close your eyes, well my eyes open
I don’t know what i want but i know that it’s broken
It’s the dark part of me, the dark part of me my friend
It’s the part of me the sun don’t reach no
It’s the dark part of me, the hard part we won’t mend
It’s the part of me you’ll never see again
You whispered never leave then you ran away
And with nowhere left to go you know I’d stay here
Well you drive for hours in your daddy’s car
To play me like i play your old guitar
Cuz it’s the dark part of me the dark part of me my friend
It’s the part of me the sun don’t reach no
Its the dark part of me and the hard part you won’t mend
It's the part of me you’ll never be again
No no never again no never again
And you’re standing there with your eyes so damn bright
I don’t think I need your lullabye tonight
Cuz you’re the dark part of me the dark part of me my friend
You’re the part of me the sun don’t reach nooo
You’re the dark part of me and the hard part i won’t mend
You’re the part of me i’ll never, you’ll never be again
Never again….

Try To Do Right © 2018 Piper Hays
I, I, I, oh I try to do right
Try to do right
Try to do right
Let’s go salute the sun,
We can go to the beach for some spiritual fun
But then, when the moon comes out to play
We will crush all our pills and dance the pain away
I, I, I, oh I try to do right
Try to do right
Try to do right
I, I, I, yeah I try to do right
Try to do right
But not every night
No, not tonight
Well, you probably shouldn’t stay
I mean what would my therapist say
Uh-oh but here you are sat in my room
And I’m not gonna ask you to leave anytime soon
I, I, I, oh I try to do right
Try to do right
Try to do right
I, I, I, yeah I try to do right
Try to do right
But not every night
No not tonight
I, I, I, oh i try to do right
Try to do right
Try to do right
I, I, I, yeah i try to do right
Try to do right
But not every night
No, no, no not tonight

Place In The Sand

Place In The Sand © 2018 Piper Hays
Miles and miles away from this land
There’s a place that i go that’s sitting in the sand
Far away from the dangerous minds
An escape from insanity wasting our time
Seems to me this world is fading away
Come with me and we’ll dance till the light of day
All our troubles swept out to sea
This place in the sand is the right place for me
We’ll go where no one’s ever been
Good vibes and music that never ends
Take a plane, jump on a boat and sing along to every note
Finally a place to breathe, so take my hand and we’ll just leave, we’ll just leave
Come with me
Blue waters and white powder sand
My mind’s in the wind and my heart’s in your hand
Don’t think just look ahead and run
The only thing that ends is the setting sun
Take a plane, jump on a boat and sing along to every note
Finally a place to breathe, so take my hand and we’ll just leave, we’ll just leave
Come with me
Miles and miles away from this land
There’s a place that I go that’s sitting in the sand

Say © 2018 Piper Hays
There are external forces trying to mar my mind
Wandering the universe searching for a sign
Everything speaks love you just have to listen
Open your mind to see what’s been missing
So many distractions silence is a myth
I’m trying to figure out how to handle this
I don’t wanna go yet I can’t really stay
My decision keeps changing every single day
So, say what you mean, mean what you say,
Maybe baby, it’ll go your way
It’s hard when the issue isn’t me it’s really you
It’s hard to excuse it what more can i do
Your digging a ditch, oh what’s your grand plan
Down your rabbit hole like i’m in wonderland
Times come and gone babe, day’s turn to night
And these games are so silly can things be alright
Because I know you eyes and I’ve tasted your smile
And it seems to me your sparks been gone a while
So mean what you say, say what you mean cuz things aren’t what they seem
And you think it’s emotion that I’ve been drinking
But put down that bottle and start fucking thinking
You’re dragging me into this weird twisted world
And I’m trying to make sense of all that i’ve heard
Cuz all that i’ve seen is a bipolar dance
But I’m too damn addicted to this fucked up romance
Don’t know what to call it just know how i feel
Look me in the eyes, tell me it’s not real and
Say what you mean, mean what you say maybe baby it’ll go your way
And, mean what you say, say what you mean cuz things aren’t what they seem
Say, say, say

She’s Running © 2018 Piper Hays
She’s got a sparkle in her eye, always happy and you don’t know why
And she never has to cry, because she knows sunshine is on her side
She’s never sorry, for having a good ass time
Always wearing a silly smile, yeah she knows how to shine
She’s runnin, running through your mind
And you better catch up, babe, she’s one of a kind
You never know what’ll happen, when you take her hand
Just keep an open mind now baby, let her take command
You’ll never frown when she’s around, she says, ‘silly bullshit forever’
And it don’t matter if it’s stormin’ now, cuz she controls the weather
She’s runnin, running through your mind
And you better catch up baby, cuz she’ll leave you
You can try to catch her, but she’ll always dance away
Going down her own road, maybe you’ll see her another day
She’s runnin, running through your mind
And you better catch up baby, cuz she’ll leave you behind
Yeah she’s runnin, running through your mind, yeah she is
And you better catch up baby, cuz she’s one of a kind
Yeah she’s one of kind, oh she’s runnin through your mind
She’s running through your mind

If I Had Wings© 2018 Piper Hays
If I had wings, darling, I’d probably crawl to you
If I had wings, you know it’s true
I’d crawl to your arms
If I could sing, all your favorite songs, oh I’d probably hum the tune, yeah i would
If i could sing most anything, I’d sing till you swoon
Well don’t you think it’s funny how we got here
My life for so long was so blue
And I don’t expect anything from you
But I know that you feel it too
If I had wings, darlin, I’d drag myself straight to you
If I had wings or frankly anything, I’d give it all to you
Well don’t you think it’s twisted what we got here
Still your lips are telling me they want it too
And baby we’re anything but clear
Maybe that’s why we’re so goddamn blue
If i could sing, a thousand love songs, I’d just hum along to you babe
If i could sing like an angel, would you fall for me too
Would you fall for me too
