Eric Scafetta
Dim lighting, nail biting
Nerves pushed too far
Every time you get closer to me
And if that’s where you want me sweetheart
That’s where I’ll be
Letters in bottles and prayers upon stars
Are the only hopes you’ve left to me
If you want me no matter how far
That’s where I’ll be
I can’t wait ‘till tomorrow now
‘Cus I know I’ll soon be gone
The moon shine, the cheap wine
Candles in the dark
Waiting to come running to me
In a dream
Dim lighting, nail biting
Nerves pushed too far
Every time you get closer to me
And if that’s where you want me sweetheart
That’s where I’ll be

Everybody’s Looking
For a Place to Be
That’s Away from the Chatter
And Away from the Constant Feed
If I could Turn Off the Motor
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Where I’ll Be
That’s Where I’ll Be
Everybody’s Looking
For Their Own Thing
If it’s Media Socialism
Or the Wind in the Trees
I’ve got to Turn Off the Motor
If I can Turn Off the Motor
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Where I’ll Be
That’s Where I’ll Be
Ram Dass Said “Be Here Now”
But I say “Be Here When Ya Can!”
Too Much Engagement
Too Much Drive
Too Many Texts
In the Middle of the Night
I’ve got to Turn Off the Motor
If I could Turn Off the Motor
If I can Turn Off the Motor
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Constantly Drivin’ Me
That’s Where I’ll Be
Steve Pieramico
If you drive on 5 & 20,
There’s a lot that you can see
Take a look around at my hometown
That’s where I’ll be
Johnny and Rog at the local garage
You can stay and chat while they fix your flat
That’s the way they are, you see
And if you come to my town,
That’s where I’ll be
Audie at the diner, there ain’t nothing finer
Than some ham and eggs while you stretch your legs
The coffee costs a dollar, but the smiles are free
And if you come to my town,
That’s where I’ll be
The old five and dime seems stuck in time
And as comfy as a well worn shoe
The old bar there, next to the new town square
Will serve up your favorite brew
You can stop and see Jerry at the hardware store
He can tell a joke, while he finds your bolt
He can fix the lights from your Christmas tree
And if you come to my town,
That’s where I’ll be
If you drive on 5 & 20,
There’s a lot that you can see
Take a look around at my hometown
Cause that’s where I’ll be
Cause that’s where I’ll be
Cause that’s where I’ll be
Sam Kaplan
I’m playing in a world where I’ll never win the game,
and there’s nothing I can do, there’s no control to reclaim.
And just when I begin to think that no one feels the same,
I’m drawn into this bar, like it’s calling out my name.
This singer at the mic, she’s furiously free.
And she sings about these things that only happen to me.
And I feel my actuality rising by degrees;
I’m a part of something powerful, a raindrop in a sea.
That’s where I’ll be-hold
someone smart and brave and bold
who isn’t scared to scream and scold.
In that instant I am sold.
‘Cause if a stage
is where this brilliant sage
incites the kids like me,
that’s where I’ll be.
When the singer at the mic looked out into the crowd
singing proud about the things that I had never allowed
myself to think of any other way than as a shroud
of shame, she sparked a flame, so there and then I vowed;
That’s where I’ll be-long.
On a stage and with a song.
A song, defiant, loud, and strong.
Strong enough to fight what’s wrong.
Yea, that’s where I’ll be-come
someone bold and brave and dumb.
Banging loud upon my drum.
Playing ‘til my hands go numb.
If a stage
is where my righteous rage
can voice our silent plea,
that’s where I’ll be.
That’s where I’ll be.
The singer leaves the mic, I buy us shots of gin.
I tell her ‘bout my noble plans. She sighs behind a grin.
“Kid,” she says and holds my eye, “Here’s advice I hope you’ll take;
careful that you aren’t only wailing out for wailing’s sake.”
“It’s hard to cut through all the chatter.
Harder yet to find what matters.
Even harder than all that to bare the art that’s by you.
But the hardest thing I ever did
is come to terms with times I hid
for so long singing bullshit ‘cause I thought, ‘What good could I do?’”
“The stage,
it helps you rearrange
your real priorities,
so that’s where I’ll be-”
(be)-gin.
Take a gentle look within.
And atone for any sin.
And forgive what might have been.
Yea, that’s where I’ll be-lieve
in the future we’ll achieve.
That conventions we’ll upheave
are worth the pasts we’ll have to grieve.
Yea, that’s where I’ll be-stow
all the things I’ll come to know
on the kid who’s at my show,
heart on fire and soul aglow.
The stage
is where we break our cage.
Come listen close and see.
That’s where I’ll be.
Cora Flannery
I watch you from a far
usually staring at you
but I don't think you notice, when I do
I guess I'll be patient
like God told me to do
so I'll sit here blue,waiting for you
I'll wait for you
even when it's hard to
God I wish you knew
what I have to go thru
but I'll wait for you
even when the sky stops turning blue
even if it's my last day
you'll find me sitting by my grave
waiting for you
I'll watch you grow old
with that girl you dreamed of
it won't be me
but at least you're happy
Life will go on
I'll do what I need to
'Cause I won't mind
waiting for you
I'll wait for you
even when it's hard to
God I wish you knew
what I have to go thru
but I'll wait for you
even when the sky stops turning blue
even if it's my last day
you'll find me sitting by my grave
waiting for you
I'd rather grow old
completely alone
then live a life
with someone who's not you
'Cause I'll wait for you
even when it's hard to
God I wish you knew
what I had to go through
But I'll still wait for you
even when the sky stops turning blue
even if it's my last day
you'll find me sitting by my grave
waiting for you
waiting for you
waiting for you
that's where I'll be
waiting for you...
Warren Paul
When I get downhearted and I need security
Hiding, safe inside your love, that’s where I’ll be.
If the winds of fortune send a cold rain down on me
Hiding, safe inside your love, that’s where I’ll be.
(chorus)
You rescue me when I’m in need
Now I can see my desAny
Safe here with you, where love stays true
That’s where I’ll be.
Every time the Devil and his friends are tempting me
Hiding, safe inside your love, that’s where I’ll be.
And if my deep and darkest fears become reality
Hiding, safe inside your love, that’s where I’ll be.
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
If you catch me smiling just before I fall asleep
Hiding, safe inside your love, that’s where I’ll be.
And before I wake up if the angels come for me
Hiding, safe inside your love, that’s where I’ll be.
Hiding, safe inside your love......
That’s where I’ll be.
Thomas Whitmore
He has never had a father
But that hasn’t been a bother
The queen bee maiden’s hunky man
With a brief thirty day lifespan
He cools the hive when it gets hot
Can he make honey surely not
He gets kicked out if days turn cold
To conserve the honey sweet sweet gold
That’s a virile bee
That’s a virile bee
You can take it from me
That’s a virile bee
Viability spews
from apian loins
His three hundred thousand daughters
just proves the point
He’s doesn’t have a painful sting
He has no painful anything
Two pairs of wings and compound eyes
Soon as he mates he quickly dies
That’s a virile bee
That’s a virile bee
You can take it from me
That’s a virile bee
Viability spews
from apian loins
His three hundred thousand daughters
just proves the point
The fastest drone you’ve ever seen
He’ll be the first to catch the queen
And with one final lusty thrust
Our tragic hero bites the dust
Don’t be too sad my lovely friends
Because the cycle never ends
As nature fills avoid in space
Another drone will take his place
That’s a virile bee
That’s a virile bee
You can take it from me
That’s a virile bee
Viability spews
from apian loins
His three hundred thousand daughters
just proves the point
Paul Nunes
I left home
when I was ‘bout 17
Said good bye to my momma
who sewed my old blue jeans
Just me and a dream
headed down to New Orleans
Where a small-town boy
saw things he never ever seen
Deep in the Treme
I went to see the old men play
It didn’t take long
I got to jammin’ with ‘em every day
Fats on the piano
The man blew the room away
Sweet, sweet New Orleans
You know I’m here to stay
So now I’m playing in a band
at the corner of rhythm and blues
The nights go on forever
people dance with whoever they choose
Where the good times rock
And the good times roll for free
If you’re looking for me
that’s where I’ll be
Kids in the Basement
Stay out of my past
Unless you want to laugh your ass
Off from a good time
Live in the present
Or you'll become depressed
From tattooed memories
My hearts set up to waste away again
Where both drunk as you licked my face
Lack of silence
We got no patience
Best friends can make good times stand still
Oh dear best friend
Your names carved into my head
Grow old with me
My hearts set up to waste away again
Where both drunk as you licked my face
Lack of silence
We got no patience
Best friends can make good times stand still
Flashback, my mind takes me
Flashback, That's where I'll be
Emily Champion
There are those days when I just sit around and ask myself just where am I?
Just why am I?
They said when darkness fell
There's always land of Yisrael
So where's the light?
Where do I go for mine to have peace?
Where do I go for a chance to agree?
If you know, that's where I'll be
That is where I'll be
When those who die in sand
From either side of Middle land
How can I stand?
It's not like I'll just go and fix the world from pole to pole with my bare hands
Young and chosen, we were raised on what we knew
Go back home, you're safe with white and blue
You fueled the fight, now it's us against them, once again
There are those days when I just sit around and ask myself, just where am I?
Just why am I?
Taurus Savant
Let me tell you something real
This world is too big to think so small
Despite how you feel It's better to do it now than not at all
Everybody might doubt me
But I survived Underdog, count me out
Here I am, alive Against all odds
My spirit won't die
Look at me now Sometimes
I don't know how I do it
But I know that I'm proud
I'll say it out loud
Out loud
I'm like "Oh, my God" I got a lot of magic on my side
So, however can I be that guy?
I'm 'bout to steal the show
Sit back and watch me go
If you're wondering, you should know
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be
The stars are shining
If you look up, you gon' see me
'Cause that's where I'll be
Yeah The spirit of audacity always finds me
I said yeah
Ready or not, I'll live my dream of a world so free
Everybody might doubt me
But I survived Underdog, count me out
Here I am, alive Against all odds
My spirit won't die
Look at me now
Sometimes I don't know how I do it
But I know that I'm proud
I'll say it out loud
Out loud I'm like "Oh, my God"
I got a lot of magic on my side
So, however can I be that guy?
I'm 'bout to steal the show
Sit back and watch me go
If you're wondering, you should know
That's where I'll be
That's where I'll be
The stars are shining
If you look up, you gon' see me
'Cause that's where I'll be I'll make it, I'll make it, I'll take it
I believe in the rule of three
You looking for me? (That's where I'll be)
You looking for me? (That's where I'll be)
You looking for me? (That's where I'll be)
You looking for me? (That's where I'll be)
You looking for me? (That's where I'll be)

So, however can I be that guy?

The stars are shining If you look up, you gon' see me
'Cause that's where I'll be
Enzo D'Jesus
Sometimes the rain doesn’t stop falling down
Take my hand if you don’t wanna drown
I know that you’re stronger than me
So why are you broken
Even if you’re at your worst the rain can be frozen
Remember the days of sun
The days we’d run on the beach
Remember the place you loved and said we could be free
That’s where I’ll be
That’s where I’ll be
Come back to me
Get off your feet
Don’t stop running
Come back to me
That’s where I’ll be
When we were young there was nothing to fear
If I was scared you’d just say that you were here
Is it so easy to break a heart that is golden
I just refuse to believe you can be hopeless
Remember the hills of green
The way the wind moved your hair
Remember the jokes we made and all the laughter we shared
That’s where I’ll be
That’s where I’ll be
Come back to me
Get off your feet
Don’t stop running
Come back to mee
That’s where I’ll be
But I don’t know if you can run away, to me
If you can’t I don’t what will happen to me
If I break and I fall
I don’t care the price is small
Il come back make sure your safe
And remind you of that place
That’s where I’ll be
That’s where I’ll be
Amanda Chow
Words don’t come that easy
When every chapter has its end
Close it for safekeeping
And another begins again
All the years in a lifetime
They could never be enough
But when we have to say goodbye
There’s a place I’m thinking of
One where waves held still
In the harbor that we built
Oh forever wasn’t in the cards
But we wrote our stories anyway
Remember when we’re miles apart
I wouldn’t change a single day
In laughter, tears, and memories
After here, with everything
We shared
That’s where I’ll be
Drifting through an uncertain fate
Love can be so delicate
Shifting through the forms it takes
Or just an empty shell of it
But we’ll weather all of the changes
And we’ll make it on our own
We’ll go where they may take us
And I know I’m not alone
When I think about our time
Safe inside my mind
Oh forever wasn’t in the cards
But we wrote our stories anyway
Remember when we’re miles apart
I wouldn’t change a single day
In laughter, tears, and memories
After here, with everything
We shared
That’s where I’ll be
And though it hurts to let you go
Leave this for uncharted roads
It was worth every minute
How could I ever regret it?
Oh forever wasn’t in the cards
But we wrote our stories anyway
Remember when we’re miles apart
I wouldn’t change a single day
In laughter, tears, and memories
After here, with everything
We shared
That’s where I’ll be
Maria Gillard
Along the misty shore where the waves churn up the leaves
Under the bright light of the moon on Christmas Eve
Gliding through the waters of my memories
If you’re looking for me that’s where I’ll be
Out in the green garden digging in the dirt
Wipin’ of the sweat with my old blue workin’ shirt
Cultivating roses and raspberries
If you’re looking for me, that’s where I’ll be
I was lost so long
Wondering was I right or wrong
Following a dream that I believed
Would take me where I needed to be
Walkin’ in the woods among the milkweed and the ferns
Sittin’ by an autumn fire watchin’ it burn
Listenin’ to the wind for an answer in the breeze
If you’re looking for me, that’s where I’ll be
that’s where I’ll be
Lillia Woodbury
Work kills me
Grind your life away
Sending email after email
Till they bury you alive
Meaningless task after task
Does it even matter?
Will it get better?
How much more can I take?
That’s why I escape sometimes…
In my garden
Slinging dirt and planting oats
My backyard garden
Singing to the worms and goats
Some folks relax with a book and a wine
Me? I grab a hoe and a vine
Look to the dirt and the corn if you need me
That’s where I’ll be
Work email
Inbox going up
With requests that range from stupid
To completely imbecile
Meaningless ask after ask
Nothing even matters
Do they know better?
How much longer can I fake it?
That’s why I’m never coming out from…
In my garden
Weeding with a trowel in hand
In my freaking garden
Landscape with some desert sand
I lose myself with hands in dirt
Just to feel alive on earth
Look to the rows of thinly planted peas
That’s where I’ll be
Planting corn and beans and squash
Or my favorite, Macintosh
I’m never coming back
Never coming back
Never coming back from my garden
In my garden
Pruning out the dying plants
My freaking backyard garden
Protecting my babies from aphids and ants
Some people smash stuff when they get stressed
But toxic masculinity has me perplexed
My happy place that smells like therapy
That’s where I’ll be
That’s where I’ll be
That’s where I’ll be!
Phil Broikos
once upon November
my memories remember
a brilliant melody
across a stolen river
reflection in the water
your smile in a dream
then the day will break around me
and the sun begins to shine
that is when I’m lost again
the time to say goodbye
those summer days were empty
the chaos never left me
like fireflies in June
the weight upon my shoulders
gives way to marching orders
the poppies in full bloom
and the darkness will surround me
while the moon will turn back time
that is when I count to 10 and
try to say goodbye
Well, now as afore
I should wince so, no doubt,
And still to my star,
I should cling, all about,
And muddy one midnight
We all will march out.
and when I’m gone I’m gone forever
no more stormy weather
or faded magazines
you know that nothing lasts forever
we’re in this world together
that is where I’ll be
in a moment of forgiveness
there is nothing left to try
that is when I’m lost again
the time to say goodbye
that is when I count to 10
and try to say goodbye
in the end I’m lost again
it’s hard to say goodbye
