01 Some Assembly Required
Many things in life need some type of assembly or putting back together
Hello,
I am basically a songwriter. I always co-write songs. The completed songs I have are projects done with my other co-writes and musical collaborators. While I do play drums, I do not play in a band because of my work schedule. I hope you will find a song or two that you can relate with and enjoy.
Story behind the song
As you go thru life there will be many things that need some form of assembly or putting together

Verse 1
It’s Christmas Eve again,
Got a tabletop tree and a dusty wreath on the door.
My mind takes me back to when
A thousand little toy parts were scattered across the floor.
Lift
On a cardboard box stenciled in bold,
These three little words that left me cold:
CHORUS
Some Assembly Required.
A handful of tools and the patience to do it right,
Give yourself time, this could take all night.
Some Assembly Required.
You struggle and curse and you work till the pieces fit,
Wanna give up but you don’t dare quit.
Some Assembly Required.
Verse 2
In high school, '94,
My pretty daughter all dressed up for the senior dance.
But her boyfriend doesn't show,
And shatters her illusion of a perfect young romance.
Lift
First time in love and sometimes it hurts,
Don't be discouraged, one day it'll work.
CHORUS
Some Assembly Required.
A handful of tools and the patience to do it right,
Give yourself time, this could take all night.
Some Assembly Required.
You struggle and curse and you work till the pieces fit,
Wanna give up but you don’t dare quit.
Some Assembly Required.
Bridge
Dinner at my daughter's house,
First time in years both her mom and I are there.
She says I can't take this broken family life,
Please don't leave until we clear the air.
Lift
Make this love new like it used to be,
Gather the pieces up, try them and see.
FINAL CHORUS
Some Assembly Required.
I think I've got the tools and the patience to do it right;
Give ourselves time, it could take all night.
Some Assembly Required.
We may struggle and curse but we'll work till the pieces fit,
You wanna give up but I won't let you quit,
Some Assembly Required.
