Chase Ceglie Jon is a musical powerhouse. On top of being a fantastic multi-instrumentalist, human-encyclopedia of 1960s-1970s music styles, and a producer with a thorough attention to detail, he pops up when he's ready to prove he's a seriously great songwriter.

This could be the song we wrote For you to sing at our next show This could have been your song to own But now I'll sing it all alone

There are pigeons always landing outside your window on that one spot Are they the same ones or not? You would name them these silly names She'd laugh 'cause they'd never even cross her mind The little things she left behind If she comes around would you give her open arms Or your feet hard on the ground She would ask if you remember things that happened moments ago That was her ongoing joke You would always give her all the love in your heart Be careful that's a lot The little things add up If she comes around would you give her open arms Or your feet hard on the ground (x2) Little things will get you through the day You'll find the voice to say The pain will go away These little things will get you through the day You'll find your voice and say My pain will go away

Sausage 02:44
Congrats on taking the easy way out Looks like you got everything you want You said you loved my golden soul But you really want it in material form Oh it’s so good to be rid of you like this Oh it’s so right to hand you off to that fool You got a little taste of it And you already act like you’re hot shit If this little success made you like this Thank god you never made it really big Oh it’s so good to be rid of you like this Oh it’s so right to hand you off to that fool

Turn back the clocks and lets start over Or maybe I’ll love you when we’re older I can’t help the way I feel The way I feel about you But now is not the time for us How can these stars just keep on shining? Give me a win or a silver lining I don’t want to write these songs To write these songs about you But this is just my way to say that You came to me just when I needed your love You needed my love Ain’t it sad there came a day That you didn’t see me the same And it all went away (Instrumental) You came to me just when I needed your love You needed my love Ain’t it sad there came a day That you didn’t see me the same And it all went away Turn back the clocks and lets start over Or maybe I’ll love you when we’re older I can’t help the way I feel The way I feel about you

Simple Man 02:17
I am a simple man So I sing a simple song I never been so much in love And never hurt so bad at the same time I am a simple man And I play a simple tune I wish that I could see you once again across the room Like the first time I just want to hold you, I don't want to hold you down I hear what you're saying and you're spinning my head around And I can't make it alone The ending of the tale Is the singing of the song Make me proud to be your man only you can make me strong Like the last time I just want to hold you, I don't want to hold you down I hear what you're saying and you're spinning my head around And I can't make it alone

Loving You 00:41
Loving you is all I can do And loving you is all I will do But loving you is maybe what drives us apart in the end

Home 03:25
If I had some faith in us I could go to bed right now If there's a way of saving us Would you lend me your sweet loving hand Fighting for a chance to prove That I could have a life with you Is much more than I ever hope to find You get to move on without being here for these tears I have been seeing clearly Come on home Won’t you come on home (instrumental) Fighting for a chance to prove That I could have a life with you Is much more than I ever hope to find You get to move on without being here for these tears I have been seeing clearly Come on home Won’t you come on home

Counting sheep to get to sleep May not always work If you really want to stay with your sleepy thoughts Dad will get to chapter 2 on another night ‘Cause now it is time to dream You’ll go through changes and grow to be great I’ll stay the same for you always When life gets hard and you just need a friend I’ll get you through all the bad days So hold on tight And don’t let go Know you are not alone ‘Cause now it is time Yes now it is time Now it is time to dream

Out Loud 03:29
Now that you are done packing up for Nashville Tennessee Would you please remember all the love we have when it’s just you and me? But every time we talk I lose faith and think that we’re not gonna make it Distance has a way of making doubts and fears feel vulnerable and naked Oh the things we should have said out loud We’ll run away before we say goodbye Now that you are gone remember when we packed up California? Glad we took the long way home I could never have enough time to adore ya Was it me that you stopped loving or the life you thought you’d lead if you had stayed? Either way I wish you had the guts to leave before I was betrayed Oh the things we should have said out loud We’ll run away before we say goodbye

Track 10 03:24
I need track 10 but I’m feeling stuck Just one more song to sum it all up Some inspiration or beginners luck Is what I need right now What’s left for me to sing about? I’ve been miserable without a doubt You’ve even heard me scream and shout But here’s one more to take you out You threw our love away You threw our love away You threw our love away You threw our love away Hope you make it to Italy If that's the biggest goal in your life And I hope that it sets you free Of the pain that you’re trying to hide ‘Cause if there’s still any love for me You thought was best if you put it aside I can’t be bothered just let me be I won’t be coming along for that ride You threw our love away You threw our love away You threw our love away You threw our love away I need track 10 but I’m feeling stuck Just one more song to sum it all up
