The Middle

Hello my love, I know we’ve left this unresolved
But I think its time we change the tide
The moon is growing stronger and my heart is growing fonder
Of our perfect imperfections and I start to realize that
You hate waiting
And I love procrastinating
So we’ll meet in the middle and hurry up to take our time
Lay your burdens by the river, lay your body next to mine
And we’ll lose each other in each other’s eyes
Well I know, we’ve been down this road before
But I know now what we’re fighting for
Our love may still be learning and our trust may be concerning
But I trust no one can hold my heart but you because
You hate waiting
And I love procrastinating
So we’ll meet in the middle and hurry up to take our time
Lay your burdens by the river, lay your body next to mine
And we’ll lose each other in each other’s eyes
Baby, it’s getting late but
Trust me, time’s overrated
We’re free, to get a little closer, hold her
And hold tight, together we will take flight
And fly into this mid-night
And in my dreams I’ll see
That the facts are rudimentary because
You hate waiting
And I love procrastinating
So we’ll meet in the middle and hurry up to take our time
Lay your burdens by the river, lay your body next to mine
And we’ll lose each other in each other’s eyes (2x)
Lose each other in each other’s eyes

Love Schemes

Call it a calling or a gift to see the truth
In realizing the disguises that you love to slip into
Your mind games and your word plays check their expiration date
Cause they're rusting and combusting around you
Chorus:
Oh, when my heart starts palpitating
I over-medicate it till it seems that I'm numb throughout the blood stream
And someday, maybe when Im old and gray
I'll thank me for dodging all life's love schemes
At least that's what I'll tell me
I try to live a lonely life the best I can
For complicated reasonings you would not understand
And all sensible senses are no match for my self defenses
That I've built with malice overtones which are the only things that I can call me own
Life with this philosophy, it's so easy, just repeat and repeat
Chorus
Bridge:
And I'll sing your songs into the breeze
So that the wind chimes can always sing my melodies
And remind us of the dreams we used to dream
Chorus

Summer Daisies
02:35
|

The trees are not the only ones to have things leave
Left stranded bare and naked for the world to see
Though things can be better we’re do for warmer weather
At least that’s what your seasons they’ve lead me to believe
Chorus: Just when I’m fine
Your seasons seem to shift and leave me blind
Lord knows I’m too lazy
For chasing winter snow and summer daisies
Your summer’s the sunshiny lover that covers your body and helps it grow
Into the sweetest side of springtime that I’ll never ever ever let go
But your cool winter breeze it takes me for a spin
And your fall well I just fall for you again
Chorus
Bridge: Nobody knows you
And no one can hold you
And no one can love you quite like me
Chorus

James Hatem Nashville, Tennessee
Hey! My name is James Hatem and I am a singer/songwriter. I enjoy all genres of music and dabbling in creating music based off all the music I hear. I do always seem to have an underlying theme of blues music intertwined in the music I write. Fun facts: I love acting, throwing the frisbee around and I recently started tap dancing. I hope you enjoy my music! ... more
