You've gotta make it for yourself. So, stop making it so hard. You're so easy to love on your own.
You gotta dry your crying eyes. You gotta rest your weary head. It's so easy getting lost on your own.
Do you feel like you're sinking? I won't let you drown. Are you up on your cross like Jesus Christ? I'll help you down. I'll be around any little time you need me. I'll be around.
You say you wonder how I love you - when you can't make it through the night. Well, take a look at yourself in the morning light. But you'll say: "Beauty is fading - just as time passes by"... Well, I don't need to look any further, babe, than your eyes.
Do you feel like you're sinking? I won't let you drown. Are you up on the cross like Jesus Christ? I'll help you down. I'll be around any little time you need me. I'll be around.
You're so easy to love, babe. I'm sure you've heard it before. But, in case I never told you that once....I just wanted you to know for sure. I'll be around any little time you need me. I'll be around.

it's too late tonight to put up a fight / i'm gonna tell you how it's gonna start: Maybe I'm gonna...Baby, I'm gonna be sweet to you.
Neon signs flood the midnight mines / you better watch out for my love
Immaculate mother of my crucified brother, better send her help down from above. Maybe I'm gonna...Baby, I'm gonna be sweet to you.
Open up your windows let the sunshine come on in. I'm gonna be there in the morning when you're rollin' over yawning saying': "Good morning, John. I love you."
Baby, I'm gonna be sweet to you. Maybe I'm gonna...Baby, I'm gonna be sweet to you.

John Ralston
“I live my life in ever widening circles, each superseding all the previous ones.” -Rilke
John Ralston recommends:
Power Pop trio whose EP is absolutely fantastic. RIYL: Rock-n-Roll like the Replacements/Westerberg, Big Star, etc do it. Think an edgier/garagier Posies...yeah I like that.

A limited run of 500 vinyl copies available. RIYL: Bedroom Pop Magical Nuggets Tour. Most importantly, support Thomas!
