I’m not used to things going well. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.
“It was a fun night, but I just have some hesitation about going any further right now.”
i expect something like that, from either one of us
It’ll probably end up as just a good time, right?
how do i keep something like this going? can I?
how do i get to know her and make sure it’s really her i’m interested in and not just it?
am i enthusiastic enough? good enough?
i’ve been with people just for the physical side. i’ve never stayed with someone just for that.

This is the first demo of a new song I wrote over the past 2 days. I recorded it outside with the crickets a few minutes ago and decided to put it on tumblr for you to hear.
Please listen, enjoy, and share some thoughts if you’d like.
Robert Gay - “When This Goes Bad”
love is nothing more than a closing open door
it’ll shut you out before you’re through
every time i start to fall, i make myself recall
it’s just what i don’t need, and what i do
oh but youre the highest hope i’ve ever had
it’s gonna hurt when this goes bad
love is like a song that carries you along
it’s in your heart but never in your hands
though i’ll never live without it,I know i’ll always doubt it
the melody that i can’t understand
oh it’s everything that ever drove me mad
it’s passionate but just a passing fad
and you’re the highest hope i’ve ever had
it’s gonna hurt when this goes bad
it’s the kind of night you need a better reason
the kind of night that leaves an empty cup
the kind of night you’re holding on to treason
and you’re too far gone to ever give it up
it’s the kinda night you wanna fall in love
the kinda night you see just where you’re goin
when you lose your head & pushin comes to shove
the kinda night you feel an ember glowin
but no one’s there to fan the fire up
it’s the kinda night you wanna fall in love
days go by without progression
dawn to dusk and all is fair enough
but every evening brings the same confession
that every night you wanna fall in love

If I could take this feeling and capture it, always have it on hand when needed, I would do it. I need this enthusiasm, this drive, this purposefulness. no time to reorganize or analyze it - time to utilize it!
