Adam DunetzWhen You Get HomeSitting here watching the paint dry
Thinking bout you
I know you’re out there somewhere
Doing the best you can do
Take the time you need to roam
Try not to get too lost in the dome
And tell me all about it
When you get home
Busy rearranging the furniture
Thinking bout you
Trying hard not to imagine
The worst you’ve been through
We don’t need to talk about money
I’ll just laugh when you say something funny
You can tell me all about it honey
When you get home
Seconds into minutes turn to hours in...

Adam DunetzGotta Get Over ItHey
I heard you just got back today
From a work trip in LA
Nothing new around here
And I’ll just say
If you come around my way
Two minutes off the highway
I’ll let you bend my ear
Some bags you need to lay down just outside the door
You’ve been carrying them for so long but you don’t need them anymore
Time to call the tailor for a better fit
But first things first, you’ve gotta to get over it
Call me insane
I packed a bag and I took the train
Down the coast...

Adam DunetzStill a RoseA frog becomes a prince
Upon a kiss from his true love
Constellations from below
Look different from above
A sullen heart one tick away
From unspeakable delight
And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright
A day it ends exactly
Once a new day has begun
An axis in a steady state of
Spinning towards the sun
And what’s the point in dreaming
If we only dream at night
But it’s alright, baby it’s alright
You can tell yourself it’s not your time
There’s no one waiting on the line
But you feel it from your head...

Adam DunetzIn the Easy LightYou’ve got a lot of balls up in the air
Never one to go the safest route
You took a detour on a dare
Now I’m looking forward to checking it out
There’s no limitation on your imagination
You shoot unscripted on location
In the dead of night
You set your feet and see it through
It’s all I’ve ever seen you do
In the easy light
You took up painting just a year ago
Now you’re selling out the gallery
You’ve got a longer list of projects waiting
Than any fortune teller could ever see...

Adam DunetzMistaken IdentityI thought I knew you
But I guess I never knew you at all
You led me on
Before you led me astray
I’ve been sitting here for hours
Waiting for you to call
It never had to be this way
I gave you more than I
Gave anyone before
I had a room reserved with every amenity
You changed your mind
But did you need to rob me blind
Was it a case of mistaken identity
You’re like a see saw up and down
Then it’s no longer a game
What starts as fun
Is always taking...

Adam DunetzQuiet TownWhen the sun goes down
In a quiet town
The streets are dark
Not a soul around
In a quiet town
At the foot of a
Round and rolling hill
The shops are closed
And the streets are still
In a quiet town
The moon’s alone not a dog in sight
It’s the quiet start to a quiet night
In a quiet town
The shades are drawn
Like a silhouette
The oven’s hot
And the table’s set
For the daily bread
Children go on
About their day
They eat then
Take their plates away
And it’s time for...

Adam Dunetz4th of JulyYou don’t always know when it’s time to go
Till the walls cave in or you stub your toe
And the window’s closed cause you move too slow to fly
I keep a bag packed, one foot out the door
Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore
I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July
Lord knows life ain’t always a hallmark movie
But it keeps coming at you, good and bad, ready or not
Instead of waiting around for a feel good hollywood ending
You've gotta t...

Adam DunetzSecret GardenTennessee’s been calling to me for a little while
I’ve never been more than taking a spin down a country mile
At night I go there in my dreams
Float above cool mountain streams
Nothing had ever been as it seems
Until I seen you smile
I’ve watched the stars come out one by one on a winter night
I’ve seen fireflies dance on a meadow in the moonlight
If it’s too forward, then I beg your pardon
But if you want to see an old heart unharden
Take me to your secret garden
Tonight
You used t...

Adam DunetzL3v3L uPYou’re riding on the L train
You’re studying a new maze
You’re up until the sunrise
You’re headed to the next phase
Moving up the ladder
Fighting through some old ways
Open up the curtains
You’re headed to the next phase
One day your stitches will be but a scar
(you’ll wear them like a badge of honor)
And you know you’ve already come so far
Now you’re riding on the L train
Not thinking bout the old days
Emerging from the shadows
You’re headed to the next phase
You’re moving up the ladder...

Adam DunetzThe SecretI’ve got a secret
That fits in my hand
And I mean to keep it for now
You understand
And I’m on an airplane
And you’re on the sea
And one day we’ll marry
Underneath the sycamore tree
Laughter lasts like late summer rain
Thistle and down dance in auburn hair
You blithely beg me to please explain
But when I open my hand
There’s nothing there
I’ve got a secret
If you’ve got a dime
But I aim to keep it for now
While we’ve got time
And lost in the mountains
High o...

Adam DunetzLoss LeaderWinter’s coming haven’t seen you round here for a while
Frost has covered the ground where you walked away
Fevered strumming like a new religion on trial
Down and out about the time I tried to make you stay
Corner table
At the Cafe
New endcap name your price so we can hang a sign
Go low but don’t step over the invisible line
Straight shot, now you can toss it in the cart with mine
Two for one as long as the numbers end in ninety-nine
We might be here
By design
But if I had my way...

Adam DunetzNo Wrong AnswersYou think you’re walking down a dead end street
Your ego’s talking but you can’t compete
A hunter stalking for his winter meat
But it’s just a bone
You heard the story how the west was won
The second coming of the favorite son
He’s counting down the ending three two one
On a microphone
No wrong answers
You’re stuck in your mind
On questions meant to keep you under
Woke from a daydream
Starting to find
How many roads can carry you home
You gave your all before you lost your luck
On the flatbed...

Adam DunetzNew American AnthemI’ve been thinking about this place we call the old US of A
A beautiful experiment gone horribly astray
United ain’t the first word that comes to mind today
While we’re on the brink of throwing it all away
And lately you might say we got ourselves into a jam
Some might argue it’s the track that we’ve been on since vietnam
So I’m typin out a letter to my dear old uncle Sam
With a new American anthem on the way
America the stupid
America the childish
America the hungry
America the weak

Adam DunetzCloudsClouds go slowly by my window
This summer nearly every day
I’ll sit and watch em pass
Forget about the hourglass
Just kinda dream the day away
Some days I don’t even leave the house
No one comes knocking on my door
It’s the perfect alibi
In case you ever wonder why
I don’t really see you anymore
Time goes on but clouds are
Never really gone
The forecast has no bearing
on the sky above
I only want the best for you
But save a little for me too
I never had a chance
No I never...

Adam DunetzLast Day on EarthThe winds are whining
Soft and low
To a static hum
On the radio
Last day on earth
Last day on earth
The screens are dark
The birds are flown
A black cat crosses
The street alone
Last day on earth
While echoes slow
At different speeds
Shadows blow through
Like tumbleweeds
Last day on earth
Last day on earth
When no one’s left
To play pretend
That the whole world’s not
About to end
Last day on earth
And in the dark I wonder where you are
If we’re looking up in tandem
At the same explod...

Adam DunetzBreaking the RulesThey told you how it’s gotta be
But old friend you never asked me
You can paint inside the lines
Obey all the traffic signs
Blink twice if you want to break free
They told you if you want to advance
You’ve gotta put on your tap shoes and dance
Put on a little show
Sing to the back row
Only then they just might give you a chance
You don’t want to be stuck
Spinning wheels in the muck
With your armchair philosophers and fools
You might just need a little practice
breaking the rules
You lay ou...

Adam DunetzAlright with meYou don’t know me
But I know you
A weed in the garden
You reluctantly grew
You took to the stage
And we stuck like glue
A turning the page
A new golden age
And I had no way to tell you
What you meant to me
How you gave my soul
One good shot at getting free
So I’m writing it down
But you’ll never see
And it’s alright
It’s alright with me
And every town
We traveled through
On a quest for the perfect
Stella Blue
And every night
When the lights go down

Adam DunetzFind Our Way to Fall in Love AgainThe odds were stacked against us
Ever making it this far
Like m&m’s in a jar
We were one in a million
I always figured in the end
It would just be me and my guitar
On a stool in some bar
Or the occasional pavilion
Some dreams went unexpressed
But we never could have guessed
How we ended here
From where we were back then
Think once
Think twice
Think three times
It would be so nice
If we could find our way
To fall in love again
The head and heart connect
But only half the ti...

Adam DunetzFrom the UndergroundNothing new just taking in the view from the underground
Time to kill in a hole to fill sit still don’t make a sound
Old friends turned to loose ends they don’t ever come around
When you’re underground
It’s cold down here when the ghosts appear through an open door
They’re a lot like you they just walk right through and settle on the easy score
Two ton casket no sympathy can mask it anymore
When you’re underground
You thought you’d only stay down here a while
But you’ve made a house a home and now y...

Adam DunetzCrosswalkLiving in the same town forever and a day
We used to run into each other a little more around the way
When anything was possible
And we didn’t need quite all these new protections
I only see you at the crosswalk now
We go in opposite directions
There was a time when our peripheries were close enough to touch
When getting past go was easy as pushing in a clutch
We’d meet on common ground
And laugh about our imperfections
I only see you at the crosswalk now
We go in opposite directions
There used to be a mo...

Adam DunetzBrooklynNothing matters like it used to
No one’s waiting by the door
There ain’t nothing new between us
That wasn’t there before
I’m gonna need some information
I’ve got a pocket full of change
Tell me everything you know now
Soon I might be out of range
And the future’s like a freight train
Rolling blind into a wreck
And the past is like a hammer
Hanging tight around my neck
Burn the letters that I wrote you
Or bury them in the sand
I won’t be coming home soon
I won’t be calling when...

Adam DunetzEdna Forbes(Prompt: Write a song about the life and/or death of Edna Forbes*) *Edna Forbes being a fictional character said to have been murdered in Crackerbarrel Alley in 1800's Northampton.
Edna Forbes was the oldest of three
They lived in a house on a hill
She stayed home to take care of the family
While her sisters worked at the mill
Her life was bare
Her prospects low
She wouldn’t even hope another
Daily prayer
A god she’d never know
A row with her father and mother
Some kids in the neighborhood went to school
That’s where they’d...
