1. SAD AS ME
Music & lyrics by Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “This is about having that feeling everyone has when they break up – you want the other person to be just as sad as you are.”
I’ve got nothing to do on this hot afternoon
But to write you a letter
I can’t read my scribbles
My penmanship should be better
So should I text you this question?
My thumbs are shaking with tension
To click away the obsession of my
Curiosity
And now the radio won’t let me forget
And the hangover lingers
I try to write something witty
But first I gotta steady my fingers
So should I text you this question?
My thumbs are shaking with tension
To click away the obsession of my
Curiosity
Are you as sad as me?
Are you as sad as me?
Am I losing my sanity?
Wishing you’re as sad as me?
So should I text you this question?
My thumbs are shaking with tension
To click away the obsession of my
Curiosity
Are you as sad as me?
Are you as sad as me?
Am I losing my sanity?
Wishing you’re as sad as me?
Now I know that you’ve moved on fine
And found the love that you crave
So wishing someday we’ll cross paths seems
More stupid than brave
So should I text you this question?
My thumbs are shaking with tension
To click away the obsession of my
Curiosity
Are you as sad as me?
Are you as sad as me?
Am I losing my sanity?
Wishing you’re as sad as me?
Are you as sad as me?
Are you as sad as me?
Am I losing my sanity?
Wishing you’re as sad as me?
3. UPON REFLECTION
Music & lyrics By Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “I was trying to write a song that was an act of contrition around a big guitar riff. I was listening to AC/DC’s “Rock ‘n’ Roll Train” but I can’t hear them doing this song.”
I asked of my reflection
“Tell me what is there to do?”
No matter how I try
I just can’t stop thinking about you
And time will pass on through
The doors of our lost memory
Will you remember?
And think about how things could be?
When after all the years go by
But the tears still haven’t dried
And wishing for the love I left behind
You knew that the love was true
I never had a clue
Lost in my point of view
Upon reflection
It was a choice I really blew
So now I’m standing here
Completely lost in space
I close my eyes
But all I see is your sad face
When souls connect
And conversations flow so free
I miss your laugh
And how you squeezed my knee
When after all the years go by
But the tears still haven’t dried
And wishing for the love I left behind
You knew that the love was true
I never had a clue
Lost in my point of view
Upon reflection
It was a choice I really blew
When after all the years go by
But the tears still haven’t dried
And wishing for the love I left behind
Left behind
You knew that the love was true
I never had a clue
Lost in my point of view
Upon reflection
It was a choice I really blew
5. SOMEONE IN MY PLACE
Music & lyrics by Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “I was going for a big old classic rock anthem about coming to terms that you’ve been replaced with someone else.”
I saw the picture on your desktop
Two faces smiling on a sunny day
A place where I used to take you
That special secret spot far out of the way
I tried to think it don’t matter
I don’t know
Picturing you making love to him
No, I don’t even wanna go down that road
Oh, oh, oh – lights on to reality
There’s someone in my place
Oh, oh, oh – lights out to finality
There’s someone in my place
I’m a fool to even think you were mine
It’s come to Jesus time
There’s someone else in my place
So now I’ve got to forget
That there’s another guy you want more
I get it, oh, I get it, baby, loud and clear
So who’s gonna scrape me up off of the floor?
I tried to think it don’t matter
I don’t know
Picturing you making love to him
No, I don’t even wanna go down that road
Oh, oh, oh – lights on to reality
There’s someone in my place
Oh, oh, oh – lights out to finality
There’s someone in my place
I’m a fool to even think you were mine
It’s come to Jesus time
There’s someone else in my place
I tried to think it don’t matter
I don’t know
Picturing you making love to him
No, I don’t even wanna go down that road
Oh, oh, oh – lights on to reality
There’s someone in my place
Oh, oh, oh – lights out to finality
There’s someone in my place
I’m a fool to even think you were mine
It’s come to Jesus time
There’s someone else in my place
7. IN YOUR HEART
Music & lyrics by Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “Sometimes you can’t change the past, but if you cross paths down the road, this is sentiment you might want to convey.”
Hello old friend, well, it’s been a while
I’ve wondered how your life has unfolded
Through the years and the miles
There was nothing I could say to make it
Okay
Or make it all better with a letter
Begging to stay
In your heart – I hope I have a place
In your heart – even with my mistakes
In your heart – you have one wish from me
For you to be
Happy
I never got to say goodbye, never will I forget
Leaving your love behind is what I’ll always regret
There was nothing I could say to make it
Okay
Or make it all better with a letter
Begging to stay
In your heart – I hope I have a place
In your heart – even with my mistakes
In your heart – You have one wish from me
For you to be
Happy
I’m not trying to regain my place
There’s just too much pain to erase
In your heart – I hope I have a place
In your heart – even with my mistakes
In your heart – You have one wish from me
For you to be
Happy
2. FIVE MINUTES MORE
Music & lyrics by Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “I was trying to write a Motown song but I don’t know if I succeeded because it still sounds like me.”
She’s sweet, like no one else could be
The love of her life was gonna set her free
And he feels, if there was anything
Her look of love could make his heart sing
Not a lot to say
The words can wait for one more day
Well she thinks, what is the remedy?
To break through a wall he couldn’t even see
And he thinks, it’s neither here nor there
He didn’t know he had his heart to share
Not a lot to say
The words can wait for one more day
She drives away, at half past four
Wishing she had just five minutes more
If she’d reveal what her heart might feel
She’d need to steal…just five minutes more
Five minutes more
She drives away, at half past four
Wishing she had just five minutes more
If she’d reveal what her heart might feel
She’d need to steal…
Well he deals another hand to play
But he doesn’t show it by the end of day
And she hopes the gamble she might take
Isn’t a risk that brings her heartbreak
Not a lot to say
The words can wait for one more day
She drives away, at half past four
Wishing she had just five minutes more
If she’d reveal what her heart might feel
She’d need to steal…just five minutes more
Five minutes more
4. PARALLEL ROAD
Music & lyrics by Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “Love is all about timing and this is a song about two lives not quite being in sync.”
Her name was May and she picked this day
Back in April
To tell him that she loved him
She spilled her heart, it was the start
Down the road
They never saw coming
The love they shared became a heavy load
They pray one day they’ll meet again
On down Parallel Road
They chose the path, they did the math
All it would equal
Was nothing but heartache
It’s not the end, we’ll just stay friends
We’ll move on
And have a good life
The love they shared became a heavy load
They pray one day they’ll meet again
On down Parallel Road
Maybe it wasn’t meant to be
Two souls missing serendipity
Missing their turn at life’s intersection
Parallel lives in the same direction
On down Parallel Road
The love they shared became a heavy load
They pray one day they’ll meet again
On down Parallel Road
Maybe it wasn’t meant to be
Two souls missing serendipity
Missing their turn at life’s intersection
Parallel lives in the same direction
On down Parallel Road
Her name was May and she picked this day
Back in April
To tell him that she loved him
6. SIGN IT SINCERELY
Music & lyrics by Inigo Figuracion
Inigo says: “When you get dumped, you always try to spin it in a positive way, and this is about trying to be big about it. The little intro pays homage to Van Morrison.”
I get the feeling you’ve changed
And you don’t want me no more
You say your life is rearranged
There you go – right out the door
You give a kiss and say “I love you.”
“There’s a change and you’re not part of the plan.”
My hands are left in my pockets
Feeling sad and not worth a damn
Oooh, I didn’t hate you
For what you did, was all for the better
I’m at the same address
Look forward to your letters
Just don’t sign it sincerely
Every time we say “Hello”
It’s just goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
You said there was no other fellow
But I could see it in your eyes
It was a lie, oh I could die
You promised that you’d never leave me
Like a fool, I swallowed the bait
But things do change, we both must agree
I kick myself, I said I would wait
Oooh, I didn’t hate you
For what you did, was all for the better
I’m at the same address
Look forward to your letters
Just don’t sign it sincerely
Oooh – oh, I don’t know
Oooh – oh, I don’t know
Here it comes again
I’ve heard it before
Just don’t sign it sincerely
8. TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT MY BABY
Music & lyrics By Barrett Strong, Norman Whitfield and Janie Bradford
Inigo says: “I always wanted to sing like Marvin Gaye and this is the one song that I could remotely tackle.”
I ain’t got time to think about money
Or what it can buy
And I ain’t got time to sit down and wonder
What makes a birdie fly
And I don’t have the time to think about
What makes a flower grow
And I’ve never given a second thought
To where the rivers flow
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain’t got time for nothing else
Said, I ain’t got time to discuss the weather
How long it’s gonna last
And I ain’t got time to do no studies
Once I get out of class
Tellin ya I’m just a fellow
Said I got a one track mind
And when it comes to thinking about anything but my baby
I just don’t have any time
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain’t got time for nothing else
The diamonds and pearls in the world
Could never match her worth, no no
She’s some kind of wonderful, people tell ya
I got heaven right here on earth
I’m just a fellow
With a one, one track mind
And when it comes to thinkin’ about anything but my baby
I just don’t have any time
Too busy thinking about my baby
And I ain’t got time for nothing else
