Ben Latimer - Chemicals, Blamed For Everything 02:43
lyrics
chemicals, I want to blame them for everything | the ones that made me love you were the same ones in that ring | both of them came from and will end up as sand | it may sound sad but I promise I understand this is all that I can do | they say time heals all wounds | they must have never met you | and I want to believe | if you love someone set them free | they must have never felt like me i'm as tired as I have ever been | of writing the same song over and over again | i'm running out of ways to convince myself it's true | that i'm better off without you I've done all I can do | time has a way of making you choose | you need to love yourself as much as everyone loves you | don't know if i'll pray tonight | don't know if I know what's right | but I know someone who makes the sun jealous with her light | and i'll be thinking of her tonight

Ben Latimer - A Metaphor Like A Simile 03:35
lyrics
I know you're not one for flattery | well, i'm not one for words | still I know you'll take what I say and pretend it's something you have never heard | I tried to think of a metaphor or a simile to compare you to | but it's just the other way the sun wishes it could shine as bright as you do what would the moon do if the sun didn't shine? | it would probably get through and live a life like mine | before I knew you | now I'm flooded with light | and all that I can do is reflect it in my life I hope you know that thoughts of you keep me company on the hundred miles home | and even when you're not adjacent to me, I don't feel so alone

Ben Latimer - How To Want What You Have 03:56
lyrics
I remember the first time I watched October sky | I remember the first time I got caught in a lie | I remember the first time that you touched my thigh | I remember the first time I thought I was going to die On nights like these I let the cold wind get me down | but you remind me that the snowflakes are shining like diamonds on the ground | I tend to see my memory through rose colored glasses | when i'm with you I put them on and I remember where the past is | I remember what it's like to be sad | this is how to want what you have I remember the first time I realized life was sad | I remember the first time I wanted something so bad | I remember the first time I lost it and wanted it back | I remember the first time I was thankful for what I had I twist my stomach into knots | anxious to get away | but when I get there it's very doubtful that i'll stay | i'm happy right beside you even if it seems that I am far | it's not complacency, it's being happy with who you are
