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
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

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
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
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
