lyrics

Today at my easel,
I drew a blank...
A lot of thought and effort went in to this mistake
And as I fell into a
Deeper hole
I stumbled upon that which I had never known
Began to realize,
So much wasted life...
Whatever happened to those endless nights?
With so little time,
I’m gonna make this right
There’s no way I’m going down
Without a fight

So I wrote this simple song
For the girl I love
Just to remind her that
She’s all that I’ve been dreaming of
Don’t want things just fine
Don’t want my heart to rest
I want her to know she’s mine
And I’m here to give my best
I hope she’ll take the time
To remember this

Today in my Garden
that I’ve worked so hard to grow
A lot of things I realized I will never know
Too busy tending life,
I’ve failed to take the time
To smell these flowers as they bloom before my eyes
As tears filled my eyes,
Began to wonder why
I let these weeds grow high,
Choking innocence with strife
It’s time to swallow pride
I've got to make this right
There’s no way I’m going down
Without a fight

So I wrote this simple song
For the ones I love
Just to remind them that
They’re all that I’ve been thinking of
Don’t want things just fine,
Don’t want my heart to rest
I want them to know their mine,
And I’m here to give my best
I hope they’ll take the time
To remember this

So I wrote this simple song
For the ones I love
Just to remind them that
They’re all that I’ve been thinking of

And I wrote this simple song
For the girl I love
I wanna to remind her that
She’s all that I’ve been dreaming of

Don’t want things just fine,
Don’t want my heart to rest
I want them to know their mine,
And I’m here to give my best
I hope they’ll take the time

Cause I know I'll take the time
To remember this

Duane Mark Austin, Texas

Duane Mark is the kind of person that hasn't always known where to fit in, but has always had a passion to share ideas. Over the years, with much trial and error, this singer-songwriter has continued to push past the concept of genre boundaries. Letting the song's story speak the musical sound, this approach creates a unique blend of characteristics... a brand we like to call AmeriKINDA. ... more
