(Three intros) Where’d you come from, where are you going? I’d like to be with you if you don’t mind, She seems to be fine with that, because she’s all mine she’s all mine. I don’t ever want you to leave me, no. So much better if you’d stay, I never wanted it this way! I don’t ever want you to leave my baby, You were really all I need, But you’re just too hard to please! You’re still here after so many years? That’s okay, ‘cause I’m right here too, I think of all the times we messed up; so many chances we both gave, We were just two lonesome friends, trying to make a true romance, Why couldn’t I figure it out? That this was really our last chance? I never wanted you to leave me, no. Thought it was better when you stayed, I never wanted it this way! Never wanted you to leave my baby, Thought you were really all I need, But you’re just too hard to please!

I took myself for a walk, and it was mighty fine. I took myself for a walk, I think it bought me time, To think about life and love, it helped me clear the air. Forgot to comb my hair, don’t care if they stare, But that’s right when it starts, really breaks my heart. All their smirks and sneers, they’re rippin’ at my fears, Now I’m trying to avoid, my mind that feels toyed. Problems went from lost to found, it’s time to turn around. Walk away, just walk away, like you always do, Walk away, just walk away, like a good kid should, I took a walk. I took myself for a walk, and it was mighty fine. I took myself for a walk, I think it bought me time, To think about life and love, it helped me clear the air. Forgot to comb my hair, don’t care if they stare, I needed this fresh air, my home was feeling bare. My enemies have all gone, whoops, I stepped on this guy’s lawn, I took myself for a walk, got tired of sitting still. Now take yourself for a walk, ya might even catch a thrill! Walk away, just walk away, like you always do, Walk away, just walk away, like a good kid should x3 I took a walk!

I’m just a friend, Let’s not pretend that I’m more than that to you, I’m just a joke, that you’re willing to poke at for a long, long time, You led me on, was it right or wrong? I wish I could take it all back, No it’s just a fact, your blatant attack to push me away forever, Now you’re gone, not wanting to respond, ‘Cause I found out the truth. I’m just a friend, let’s not pretend that I’m more than that to you, I’m just a joke, that you’re willing to poke at for a long, long time, Now you push me away, but that’s okay I’ll spend my time without you, What’s going on? But I don’t respond I hate how you did this to me. I’m just a friend, we won’t pretend I’ll ever be more than that to you, I’m just a joke, turned into smoke and blown away by you, Don’t act surprised, I followed the lies that led right back to you, Oh I’ll move on, just after this song and stay away forever, Have a happy trail, I hope it fails and this time I won’t be there for you. (Breakdown/Outro)

It happens all too often, where you thought the feeling would never end, What used to matter doesn’t now, used to try and get the wow, But how? He don’t love you the same anymore x2 You always put it on yourself, ‘Cause he thinks highly of himself, No he doesn’t care about the kids, Takes all the money spends on bids, Church don’t work therapy’s the same, He just thinks he’s not to blame, Yet again you’re home alone, the feeling’s gone you’re cold as stone, Who could you phone? He don’t love you the same anymore x2 She don’t love you the same anymore x2 (Radio Interlude) (Outro with fifty guitar solos)

Bridge 05:15
I was so blinded by all your, love and attention, You kept me so occupied, like a brand-new invention, I knew I was in love, after only a week, Never guessed it'd all be over, as fast as blink, And that's why I feel! Like I was a bridge, I helped you out from one to the other, Like I was a bridge, A midway to blow off some steam, No nothing more, I was a bridge! I didn't mind just being friends, but you asked for more, Thought things were going good, until this hottie got your door, That's when I realized I was no Superman, but a good luck Chuck, Do you know how that story goes? Or do I have to say it? “It” meaning F***! Like I was a bridge, I helped you out from one to the other, Yes, I was a bridge, A midway to blow off some steam, No nothing more, I was a bridge! Being a bridge is fine sometimes, I cannot lie, I mean where else would all the trolls go? They'd have to just die, I want to be the greatest friend, with heart and soul. But you changed everything, when you said to fill your holes (and not just in your heart) (Guitar solo) I was a bridge, I helped you out from one to the other, Yes I was a bridge, In the deep south they’d also call me your brother, I was a bridge, A midway to blow off some steam, Yes I was a bridge, A non-defined shoulder to cry on, Oh just a bridge, I'm sure it'll happen again and again, Just a dirty ole bridge, Ships never ever go around me. (Henry talks to the crew even though he recorded this alone in his apartment)

Bye for Now 05:52
There he goes away, a price he had to pay, But some disagree, they never thought it'd proceed, Now he's gone away, alone I am astray, Now he's gone away, alone I am astray… (Guitar Solo 1) They never like the slow songs, they think slow is bad, So I’ll change it up in a bit, and make it less sad, There are things I notice, like the picture over there, The image really draws me in, and makes me just stare… (Long instrumental break) They confined you all alone (alone, alone) When really you should be home (at home, at home) I’m moving around from day to day (today, today) Everyone has something they always wanna say (They have to say, they have to say) But talking it over is such a chore (Oh, such a chore) Anyone listening just thinks I’m a bore (Then why’d you ask? Don’t ask again!) The past is something I try to forget (Oh I try, yes I’ve tried) But unwanted attention that’s all I get (Please no more, please no more) Both of your absences I cannot avow, So all I can say is bye for now! (Outro with solo, and then an instrumental epilogue)
9.
Gather ‘round people, bring me your names, Drop all the titles and drop all the fame, I’m not an aggressor I won’t bring you shame, Your feelings were never mine to maim. I’ve been all around for twenty long years, But I’m sure at sixty this amount will seem mere, Your life is your own you gotta stay clear, So grab that wheel and learn how to steer. Patience is one thing heartbreak is the next, Being alive leaves me somewhat perplexed, Oh, I’d never change it don’t rip out context, But life should be more than chasing paychecks… (Interlude, guitar solo, and then the true outro medley/melody)
10.
Baby I've been here for a while, You are the one thing that makes me smile, Baby I love that beautiful gown, There is no reason for you to frown. And if I fall, will you stay, will you stay, will you stay? All the way down. And yes I will, hold you, hold you, hold you, I'll hold you up. No need to worry about things anymore, Don't go and tire yourself to the floor, Well I've had my good days and I've had my bad, But tell me what's the last kind you had? And if I fall, yes I'll fall, will you stay, will you stay? All the way down, don't you look down, I'll still come around. What's that you say? Don't give up, don't give up, no don't give up... Don't you give up, I'll hold you up, we can shape up.

about

Five years later, Henry Cline has finally released a follow-up to his warmly received debut album, Resilience.
Connections is about a lot of things, but mainly, an amalgamation of relationships he's had over his teens and 20s. Some songs hit on the silly aspects while others explore the deeper and darker sides of his life.
Hope you enjoy it!
