You’ve made it through all of the grades You’ve made it through All the days days days And now it’s time to celebrate All you’ve made Cause it’s Graduation day Graduation day Let them out and play From all the plans you’ve made Learning never takes a break That’s why we keep making mistakes Now it’s time to get away From the plans they laid Chorus Break Chorus
2.
You took us out to the dead mall You called it a trust fall I called it good times And you just tell the truth and sometimes it rhymes You said let’s go find some good stuff Went off in a big huff But I called it first And now you teach sixth grade And it could be much worse There’s nothing here you want So don’t come back for me There nothing here you want So don’t come back for me You don’t own anything That the universe isn’t Freely giving To everyone else Who’s listening And I feel like a dumdum, I guess that I’m always one And willing to feel Just like a dumdum And get on and on Chorus Break Chorus
3.
Will Eli catch the ball Will Matthew ever take the fall Will Norm have the upper hand Will Eileen ever find a special man And sometimes Eli begs And everyone just loved the Dregs But Julie kept the glove Of her special and eternal love Cause it’s your move and you’re never getting out of it Cause it’s your move and you’re screaming and you’re shouting it Cause it’s your move and you said that it was destiny But I said we should wait and see And maybe we’ll just let it be Break Chorus

Curfew Time 03:16
It’s her curfew It comes at midnight Don’t keep her out Her dad is so uptight Doesn’t matter what excuse you try It ain’t gonna come out right Stop breaking the rules and you’ll stop breaking yourself said a great person once who was also myself Don’t get her home after her curfew time And get your stuff in line And her dad has a new fan tonight But only ‘cause I shower And i got her home on time But she’s getting quite tired of me Because I’m boring and do everything conventionally Chorus Break And she’s getting quite tired of me She asked to go home at 9:30 Chorus I should’ve broke the rule this time.
5.
I got off early And I got home late My brain is stuck in overtime At double the rate And I’m not good at dressing up But I’m good at closing up I’ve got a Ouija board that’s telling me I’d better shut up And I’ve heard from all of your friends Their telling me that this is the end But I’ve got love I can’t defend Jump jump jump Into your heart Jump jump jump Into your heart Jump jump jump Into your heart I’m not that lucky And I’m not that skilled I signed up for a good tutor But that was overkill And I’m not good at lost and found But I’m good at sticking round I’ve got a magic eight ball saying “Better not tell you now” And I’ve been reading all of the greats And I’ve listened to all the debates But I’ve got love that can’t just wait Jump jump jump Into your heart Break And I may not know the ways But I don’t want you to go away So I’m asking you please Won’t you stay Chorus
6.
You think it’s all in your head And that why you’re feeling blue And I don’t have any answers And neither do you And I’m not gonna say That this feeling Will ever go away So we’ll keep our heads down And we’ll try to block it out And we’ll form a mutual pact And bury any doubts And now you’re moving on From something that never got off the ground And It’s not me And It’s not you And it’s never gonna be Me and you You told me you loved me And I nodded and I grinned And I held you in my arms And kept the words locked in And I’m not gonna say That this feeling will ever go away And It’s not me And It’s not you And it’s never gonna be Me and you

Right 03:18
The days goes by Months turn into years We take everything for granted We forgot to water our garden babe We dragged up the seeds that we planted It doesn’t happen magically it takes all you can bear Cause I’m right Right in front of you Right in front of you So let’s not fight Cause fight is all we do Let make up we can do that too Now we’re here standing face-to-face We can see the tears in our eyes It’s never too late to turn the ship around put an end to all of our lies It doesn’t happen magically It takes all you can bear Cause I’m right Right in front of you Right in front of you So let’s not fight Cause fight is all we do Let make up We can do that too Break Chorus
8.
You told me to meet you at the diner at nine I was right on time. And I’m still waiting here for you cause that’s just what I do and I know it’s ridiculous and I knew you were never going to show up and the waitress keeps refilling my coffee cup and the whole place knows that I’ve been stood up. I sit still it’s the bitterest pill. I’m waiting here for you. Still waiting here for you. Don’t clear the table I don’t think I’m able to get up waiting here for you. I don’t regret a single minute we had And I don’t forget a single moment we shared though it all blew up too soon, oh so soon and you packed up your things and left me back in the room Chorus Break And maybe I just made it all up and maybe I just drank too many cups Too much coffee that night for we first met and now I’m drinking too much coffee and dwelling on my regrets
9.
Choices 02:51
In a world that’s full of wonder And sometimes steals all your thunder Life’s a stage on which we dance So take a number take a chance It’s a lottery we didn’t ask for And no one upstairs is keeping score Choices in your head and choices in your bed and choices in all that you’ve said When you’re down so so so down Your outlook is only the cold ground When you look up what you’ll find Is all the choices you put behind It’s a lottery we didn’t ask for And no one upstairs is keeping score Choices in your head and choices in your bed and choices in all that you’ve said Break Chorus
10.
It’s not dark Lord can’t you give me serenity to accept the things that just will be And Lord can you show me summer scenes To unleash the things I can’t unsee We may be fools and we may be kings We look for solace and birds that sing Ans silver linings beneath the clouds We really could use that now Because it’s not dark I’m just feeling a little blue And it’s not dark and I’m thinking a lot about you World can’t you show us something more Than everyone is asking for And world can’t bring us a little peace We’re filled with storms that no one sees And we’re all the same in different ways We all feel pain and joy and rain And little children climb in a tree That once was you And once was me Because it’s not dark I’m just feeling a little blue And it’s not dark and I’m thinking a lot about you Break world, I don’t know the way And world, we’re all just the same

Are You Ready (To Fall in Love)? (Gary)
12.
Baby girl Please don’t go, don’t go sleep just yet Where your mind goes When your eyes close What do you forget Cause the angels they say it’s true That I was meant to be with you And now you wake And I can’t say the words Your big heart Please don’t go Don’t give up on my yet Where your eyes go When your tear go Don’t have much time left Angels they Say it’s true That I was meant to be with you And now you wake And I can’t say the words

about

After I released "The Kids are Alright" in 2019, I soon connected with other musicians to make music remotely, and the bands Power the City and Trademark Issues were born - among others. But songs started piling up that only fit the model of Tod, a mash of 70s easy listening and 90s indie rock, often with trumpet on them. Gary of Trademark Issues offered to produce an album from these tracks, and Love Songs for Trumpet & Guitar was born.
