Fooling Anybody

Well, all my time is misdirected
And I don't know which way goes through
But all I know don't involve you
But in my dreams I'm disconnected
I lack the courage to follow through
But I can't face tomorrow too
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
My mind goes blank, that's never happened
I've always faked my way on through
A constant struggle not to think or do
There's always a reason to be unhappy
Even if that's not really true
I hate myself, but can't stand to hurt you
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
[Guitar solo]
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
And I'm not fooling anybody, anybody, anybody
I'm not fooling no one but you
And I'm not fooling anybody

Catalina

The second single from Cowboy Dinosaur's sophomore release, Catalina trades moody reverie for a healthy dose of galloping guitar and action. Written as a reminder to unwind and destress during socially anxious moments or when life gets too heavy, the majority of the melody was actually part of a dream. Catalina serves as a bit of positive reinforcement to calm down and take things day by day.
lyrics
In Catalina all the stars shine bright for you
But you can't see them, because you're always in your room
Well, everyone's figured out how to live life among the crowds
So why is it so damn hard for you?
There's no consequence, except possibly happiness
So calm the fuck down before you die
Just keep an open mind
This wasn't how life was supposed to be
So dry off those tears you can't stop crying
You take it all in stride, the curse of being human
So pack up those fears and keep them inside
Well, everyone's figured out how to live life among the crowds
So why is it so damn hard for you?
There's no consequence, except possibly happiness
So calm the fuck down before you die

The Other Side

Summer's gone, it's more cold than I remember
Something's wrong, and I'm not talking about the weather
Something changed in about an hour or two
Come what may, we do everything together
Stop the pain, I'd do anything to save her
Something must be done, I could run until my soles leave my shoes
And won't you stay with me my friend?
Stay here, don't leave me here, just me
No, it won't be the same
Who's to say it's the end of our adventure?
We'll drink champagne, move to Paris, live like rockstars
Been around the world, I'll be damned if I can get over you
She said "It's too late for my friend.
So long, this is the end of my life
And I don't need to be saved."
Won't you stay? (No, no, no, no)
Stay? (No, no, no, no)
Stay? (No, no, no, no)
Stay?
Stay? (No, no, no, no)
Stay? (No, no, no, no)
Stay? (No, no, no, no)
Stay?

And I won't wait
To bridge the bay
Let the cards fall where they may
And I might be ok
I am not the one that follows you
Even though I need you like I do
And I can't wait
Until I see your face
Ford the fjord
Shore to shore
Ford the fjord
Climb aboard
And I won't wait
Until the light of day
I am not the one that follows you
I am not the one that follows you
Ford the fjord
Shore to shore
Ford the fjord
Shore to shore
Ford the fjord
Climb aboard

Well, I know that there's something wrong
You're all alone, and you don't belong
I guess it's clear that you're in pain
I can see in your eyes
"So glad you're here" is all I can lie
I can't breathe, when you look at me
Well, you're insincere, I can see in your eyes
That I can't stay here, but it's too cold outside
I never noticed before, by that pile of clothes
That there's a fork and a knife
I think I should go
I can't breathe, when you look at me
I've never seen someone so hungry
Well, I guess it's clear, from the look in your eyes
That I can't stay here, but it's too cold outside
I try the door, but it's snowing
Down and down it goes
I'll sleep with just one eye closed, 'til I finally die

Broken

Now that I've met you,
Well, I've realized you won't compromise
But how do I get through?
With your hands on your ears, and wool over your eyes
Oh, but I can't stop now
Oh, when I'm feeling down
If I can upset you
I can't stand your plan to be undecided
But what good can I do?
If we're not in sync, then we're still divided
The louder the shouting
Well, it must be true, or they would be hiding
Fuck it, upend it
Ride it to the end we're locked hand to hand in
Oh, but I can't stop now
Oh, when I've broken down
Mirror, mirror
I can't focus
A burning candle wanes
As you say your lies out loud
Oh, but I can't stop now
Oh, when I've broken down
Breathe in to keep from crying
Now that I've met you
How can I get through?
If I can upset you
He's coming to get you

Not the One

Headlights, blank stare
So cold and so scared
Don't know what I've seen
Can't move without admitting
That I've been thinking a lot about where
I've been wondering who I saw
What did I do all the times that you didn't love me at all
You didn't know me
I've been thinking a lot about where
I've been wondering who I saw
What did I do all the times that you didn't love me at all
You didn't know me
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one
I know I seem to confuse love with need
So please forgive me
I love you, but I quit
Because I've been thinking a lot about where
I've been wondering who I saw
What did I do all the times that you didn't love me at all
You didn't know me
I've been thinking a lot about where
I've been wondering who I saw
What did I do all the times that you didn't love me at all
You didn't know me
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one
When I heard you, you were shouting
You're not the one, you're not the one

Go to Sleep

I wake up in the dead of night
In the bar you were so tired
Now your phone light shines to blue
And your yawns sound uninspired
And you're all I'll ever need, love
But for now just go to sleep
But I'm in deep
Are you dreaming?
Something real? Oh we got a
A good thing here, be yourself
Go to sleep. Do we got a
A big day here, and we got a
Something real, be yourself
But if all those unmarked sheep
Can't bring you to your knees
Close your eyes and breathe in deep
But for now just go to sleep
But I'm in deep
Are you dreaming?
Something real? Oh we got a
A good thing here, be yourself
Go to sleep. Do we got a
A big day here, and we got a
Something real, be yourself
Go to sleep
Go to sleep
Go to sleep

Portland

It's true the days are short, the nights are long
But I'm used to life without sunlight
And in truth, I never thought I'd last this long
But you're proof that the dawn is worth the fight
You hate a little bit of everyone
But you take a little piece of their heart
And you convince me life is not so bad
And you remind me that this world is cruel but I endure it all for you
Well, I've lived back and forth, coast to coast
And I've moved, and gone from cities to farms
But from you I've never felt disconnected
And you, I feel you in my heart
You hate a little bit of everyone
But you take a little piece of their heart
And you convince me life is not so bad
And you remind me that this world is cruel but I endure it all for you
You hate a little bit of everyone
But you take a little piece of their heart
And you convince me life is not so bad
And you remind me that this world is cruel but I endure it all for
You hate a little bit of everyone
But you take a little piece of their heart
And you convince me life is not so bad
And you remind me that this world is cruel but I endure it all for you
