It was Christmas in October
When our hearts were introduced
Or rather,
They had met 10 years before
But never quite like this
You told me you were takin yours
And headed on the road
I even wrote a song about it
But forgot all of the chords
When I woke my head was poundin
I was runnin late for work
Goddammit,
The whole world smelled like french perfume
But only we knew why
I had your sock on by mistake
You told me "Keep it safe!"
So I kept it in a box and it moved with me
From state to state
Many nights I'd lay awake
With dreams of bein by your side
Often times while not a lone
A secret I would hide
I know it wasn't right
But my heart belonged to you
I owe them all apologies
For all the times I wasn't true
Months turned into years
As we lived our separate lives
No matter,
The embers never died
The fire burning my insides
I gave myself to others
Only pieces here and there
The rest I pressed against your forehead
Hoped I'd get back in time

You know that I don't have much to give
Take my heart, but leave my soul
Those words that we hurl at each other
They don't mean shit,
I promise you this
I dreamt of a world where you'd gone
I cried for years, felt so alone
I woke with your head on my shoulder
You were still mine
I was still yours

What a Turn of Events

The sun is shinin
I'm drippin with sweat
Who's bed am I layin in?
What a turn of events...
Been a month, maybe longer,
But who's keepin track?
Let's rewind to October
And never come back
Gonna play my numbers,
15-17
Need an 8 or 11 to stay in the game
Losin more than I'm winnin
I'm still placin bets
Six months in the chamber,
I'm rushin roulette
There goes my job
There goes my wife
Thought I didn't need either
Well...I was half right
Now I'm drunk and alone
Cursin life to the starts
But they keep on shinin,
Cause life goes...and on...and on...

Smoke but No Fire

Does that fire still burn
When you're thinking of me?
Do you still lie awake thinking
Of what could be?
If I told you "I'm sorry"
And I tried not to hurry,
Would you wait for me?
I see smoke in the air
But there's no source of light
Did it's own under cover of night
Or did you dash it yourself to avoid getting burned?
I can't tell anymore
Let's rekindle that flame
We've got half of the tools
The steel in your heart, the flint in my veins
We could build it up stronger
If we start from the bottom,
I know it'd work
Darlin, I hear what you're saying
Through the smoke and the tears
Feel the cracks that have formed and weathered
Year after year
I know I can't heal you,
But you sure would feel better in the warmth

Aaron J Roman Texas
Jinx and The Hammer is Aaron Roman from Austin, TX. It's hard to pick a genre he fits into, there's a bit of surf, folk, country, doo-wop, and a bit of heartbreak thrown in. There's a desperation to Aarons lyrics, as he often uses his writing to try and understand why he's got so many dang feelings. Musically, he likes to juxtapose his emo ass lyrics with something you can also tap your toes to. ... more
