Ari Herstand - “Clean Up”

Lyrics:

Dirty mugs lining my dresser
Circle stains remaining long after 
clean up
Clean up

Toss in bed until 9:30
Dishes left, my house is dirty
Clean up
Clean up

After my coffee I'm ready to find us work
I can't seem to buy you all of the things you're worth 
It hurts
Clean Up

But if you give me more time let me figure this out
A little more love to ease my doubt
A couple more years and we'll reach the top
This guitar is gonna give us our way out
Please don't give up now

Car was towed at nine this morning
Minneapolis I need more warning
Clean up
Street clean up

To the impound with the rest of the city
This part of town is awfully filthy 
Clean up
Street clean up

Making us dinner was never this difficult
We don't have the option to go out as often
We work until 
clean up

But if you give me more time let me figure this out
A little more love to ease my doubt
A couple more years and we'll reach the top
This guitar is gonna give us our way out
Please don't give up now

All in a circle all in the round
Together we sing around and around

Ari Herstand - “Last Day”

free song download (right click “save as”)

or just listen

lyrics:

If you knew this was your last day what would you do
If you knew this was our last kiss how would your lips move

If I should end up at the end of this day
sealing that letter we send when there’s no more to say
I’d lick the stamp, leave no return address
so when it finds its way there there’s no room for regret

I don’t know why I can’t provide the post script inside
I can’t decide the sound of my sigh the moment I die

If you knew this was your last day what would you do
If you knew this was our last kiss how would your lips move

In church they must say just let go and pray
When we ascend to the gates there’s nothing more we can say
I can’t disagree
What we’ve done we accept
Every choice is a leap
Every decision a step

I don’t know why I can’t provide the post script inside
I can’t decide the sound of my sigh releasing all sin and letting fate win

If you knew this was your last day what would you do
If you knew this was our last kiss how would your lips move
