DON’T WORRY ABOUT ME Words and Music by Tage Plantell Well I’m doing alright and that’s okay cause I’m living my life in a whole new way Got my job and at 6 o’clock then I’m done I don’t need big money or a fancy house I’m not looking for direction so no need to know the route I got a 401K waiting for me at the end I’m making my own meals each and every day Saving up some money to just get away I’m doing the best that I have ever done So no need to worry I’m doing just fine If I need some help call you in some time So until then don’t worry about me I end up working 40 each and every week Then there’s time and a half and that’s real neat But mostly there’s no reason to indulge 2 hours of vacation with each pay stub middle management is a bitch and that’s the rub but I feel the weekend and it’s coming soon Well the Christmas party it’s real fun And there's 9 more months till we have another one We can drink ourselves silly on the company tab I’m not doing what I hoped I be doing with my life Soon I’ll settle down and find me a wife So remember don’t worry about me If someday I find myself in trouble I’ll let you know what you can do If someday I find myself in double I’d appreciate you getting me through

LOVE Words and Music by Tage Plantell You know I’m very nostalgic slightly romantic and humbled now Cause it’s the littlest things in life that move me as if they’re very loud I know what I know and it’s all right to go and call it how I see And this couple here is as happy as they can be Well now maybe this is how love is supposed to work Cause our family history will teach us that we’re not the first Tonight the stars shine bright and the full moon is over the sea I’ve seen the way he looks at her and they’re so meant to be Cause they’ve got... love At 60,000 miles an hour I guess you could say the world is flying by Next to the age of this old rock our lives are but the blink of an eye I see what I see you’re both inspiring to me and about this I’d never lie Happily I see you both for the rest of your life I’ve seen the way she looks at him and there’s no mystery Now that you’ve thought long and hard and come full-circle to where it’s a no-brainer at all I guess the lesson here is listen to your heart and in love you will fall Cause the trick is not to force it don’t you ignore it it’s simple don’t you see When two people love each other it comes naturally Well now I definitely know now this is how love is supposed to work Cause our family history will teach us that we’re not the first Tonight the starts shine bright and the full moon is over the sea If love’s the inspiration then happiness is a certainty cause they’ve got…

SLEEP TIGHT Words and Music by Tage Plantell Goodnight little one now go to sleep Dream all your dreams of what you will be Nobody knows what you’ll see with your eyes It’s all up to you what you do with your life Sleep tight Goodnight little one now close your eyes You’ll grow big and strong and no doubt you’ll be bright You’ll learn many things and find those unexplained Sometimes life’s not fair but there are things you can change Goodnight little one now don’t you cry We’ll be here for you when you arise Sleep sound just knowing that your Dad’s there for you And Mom knows the sound of each breath that you do

My Dying Words 03:42

MY DYING WORDS Words and Music by Tage Plantell The first girl that I ever loved Eyes that sparkled like the sun Until the day she fell and drowned Gone 7 hours before she was found Now her face etched in my mind Like 45s I can’t unwind Someday I will accept that she is gone And I’ll sing her song for everyone From all the folks she left behind A flood of tears has lands defined Wrapped up in days when she was here One moment to the next she disappeared Now memories they have replaced The laying of kisses on her face The warmth of her cheek here next to mine Here in this world I’ll never find So today put on your best The girl you loved is put to rest The lungs she used to sing sweetly Have failed and filled and no longer breathe I lay me down to sleep The pray the Lord my soul to keep If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take These would be my dying words Your ghostly voice it cries for me Out from the static the radio bleeds Gold trees fell and winter came I whispered these notes all filled with pain A hush has silenced the town today Like new fallen snow in the field where she lays Eyes from the clouds they softly weep As her body returns to the ground beneath

I TOLD YOU SO Words and Music by Tage Plantell It’s true that your girls going out with this guy In the nude she’s posing for the camera and she’s not shy Oh what a fool I know you’re bruised Now that she’s traded you in Get a clue you expect that someday it’s your love she’ll lack Well it was you were the first to step out on her behind her back Am I getting through What am I to do Now that she’s traded you in I’m sure you'd like to punch him in the face But you got what you deserve and she’s put you in your place What can I say I told you so Please not again I listen to your whining all the time I’m still your friend but are you picking up on any of these signs Time to move on Now that she’s gone Now that she’s traded you in What can I say I told you so

Goodbye My Love 03:04

GOODBYE MY LOVE Words and Music by Tage Plantell He sees her number on his phone Message reads “I’m in town just so you’d know” In flash it all comes back His heart is racing and his knees go slack Stirs up some questions to feel this way To see her now it’d be hard not to stay The best thing he can do for her now is not call He found some postcards that she wrote Stashed in a drawer under some other notes One from everywhere she’d go Most romantic words that he had known A comfort in letters that he had kept He hadn’t found better ones to replace them yetl Goodbye my love goodbye my friend It hurts like hell cause I’ll never see you again I know I’ll still think about you now and then She still sits and waits for him While he's off pursuing some other whims Although she’s always on his mind He lives in the future of some other time He wants his dream in life to come true While her plans they all fell through New wounds hurt worst but time heals the past It's not the first and it’s not the last And I know it aint easy for either part Forever reminders that are stuck in your heart I’ll still sing about you now and then

YOU'RE LOOKING SO LOVELY Words and Music by Tage Plantell A simple picture wouldn’t have made it any more clear to see That your glance would never be disturbed for anyone like me To give up wasn’t an option common ground I had to find Determined to make it work I wasn’t gonna miss out this time You’re looking so lovely and you aren’t even trying I feel that I’ve made it to heaven but I’m so far from dying Now I hold your body as you fall to sleep I hear your heart and I feel you breathe I lean into your neck I press against your spine When I whisper I love you baby Rest well knowing that you’re mine I like the way you make me feel oh so good too It’s the many little things that make me love you The tingle in my skin when our bodies collide I know what you mean when you say “I like you times 5” When you feel it in your tummy and everything is strange You know the day is here and it’s all about to change One thing is for certain and it’s you that I adore So follow your heart and open up to what’s yours I am yours Now that all is well and we've seen what fate has brought I’ve reached for the stars and now it’s you that I’ve got Another new morning I see your face again Today is the day I make you more than just my best friend

ALL I WANT Words and Music by Tage Plantell My hands are thin and numb My heart is broken down I can’t keep holding on To what we had when we were young It’s over and you’re with someone else now Cause I know I’ve wasted too much time Now I know that it’s all my fault I should have told you before now But I didn’t understand it then You’re all I want You’re all I need My head is hanging down My feet won’t leave the ground I pushed far till you went away I didn’t know how to deal with all the things I couldn’t say Now it’s over and you’re the one I want I know it’s taken me time to figure it out And now I know what it’s all about Truth or dare yeah it’s all in the story I moved away and you totally ignored me Later on when we all were in high school I guess that I wasn’t feeling so cool Cool enough for you Goodbye

If You Were Here 04:32

IF YOU WERE HERE Words and Music by Tage Plantell Stored away in the boxes these moments have been captured Trapped underneath dust and forget and the darkness I caught a glimpse back in time and I saw you It’s apparent to me that once you were young too You played violin and could dance and could sing too But you worked so hard even harder than three other men If you were here you could see what has turned into me And if you were here you would be so damn proud of me If you were here with me now He'd reply “fair and warmer” when you asked how he was You know by the lines around his eyes when he smiled that you could trust him He had a heart of gold and was built like a Viking We’d sit in our chairs and sip coffee in the silence He sift through his stories and tell tales of the time since He didn’t hear all that well but I’d enjoy just listening He’d seen a ghost sometimes when no one else could see em He knew things about the future and all we hadn’t dreamed of yet And just before he died he spoke to me Between the coughs and pain he gently whispered Anything in life worth getting is gonna take some work first “I know that you’ll make it” he said “you’ll see” We’d sit in our chairs and sip coffee in the silence He sift through his stories and tell tales of the time since He couldn’t hear all that well but I’d enjoy just listening What would you do if I sang out of tune Would you toss me a line or just leave the room Now that he’s gone and his joke’s they have ended His voice and his laugh they still ring in my head I’ll never ever forget you

Two Weeks 04:51

TWO WEEKS Words and Music by Tage Plantell It must be long-distance wires that wrap your voice up for miles It’d be nice to hear from you it’s been four days Why did you run away and leave no words to explain I turned and there you weren’t… you were gone I hope that you are safe now that you’ve taken my heart away Someday I’ll want you to bring it back Although we’re not agreeing but it’s you that I’m still seeing So I’ll see you soon real soon we’ll see Because to quit you’ve got to give your two weeks When you said you’ve changed I though what you meant to say Is that you were placing all your fears behind you Then to my dismay I found what you did not say Is that you were taking off with some guy beside you Well I know that you're leaving But that don’t stop me from believing That you’ll be coming home to me You might ask why I wait for her Although I know there's something wrong Once upon a time she swore to me That she would never leave me long Are we through Cause I’m still not over you I’m sitting here believing that you’ll be back for me Are we through Cause I’m still in love with you I'm sitting here believing you won't be back for me
