about

In this day and age of Facebook, Myspace and other "social networking", it's amazing how people who you never thought you'd hear from ever again from years back (or people you don't WANT to hear from) manage to pop up now and again as if the bad stuff never happened. When someone breaks your heart, they should leave you alone forever. Someone make a Constitutional Amendment for that, please.

lyrics

I was an awkward teen when I first met you
Saw you in the halls and we shared a class or two
To you I was just another goofy looking boy
In black t-shirts, black Chucks and corduroys

Deep down my heart was a-pounding
I was a live wire that needed a grounding
But would I ever have the guts?
It was driving me nuts

I sat beside you and I tried to catch your eye
Started talking and you thought I was an okay guy
When we went driving I was ten feet tall
Hangin’ out in the college town, and the mall

Wrote you a poem and read it aloud
You were my Venus from up in the clouds
You didn’t seem to get the hint
Might as well have said “get bent!”

Surprise, surprise
Look who’s come back into my life
But I can’t figure out just why and how
Surprise, surprise
I’m older and more wise
You didn’t want me then, and I don’t want you now

So I finally made my move and confessed
It felt all right but I never could’ve guessed
That you’d shoot me down, right outta’ the sky, with some kinda’ tripe
‘Bout your daddy not approving ‘cuz I’m just not the right type

That was pretty much the end of it
Didn’t act like it bothered you one damned bit
Left me standing in the rain
Never spoke to me again

Surprise, surprise
Look who’s come back into my life
But I can’t figure out just why and how
Surprise, surprise
I’m older and more wise
You didn’t want me then, and I don’t want you now

about

Heath Lane

Heath Lane embraces the truest spirit of rock by being unafraid of speaking his mind at the risk of going against the grain. His lyrical method is often both clever and cynical, often striking a nerve or two with subject matter, and partners with irresistible hooks and melodies executed unlike any other. You WILL have at least one song stuck in your head after listening, guaranteed! ... more
