There's ten digits I won't dial
To march across the miles
Cuz the bridges in the distance
Are burning with my silence
When my letters disregard
The mailbox in your yard
I hope you get the message
I've walked away
From the wreckage
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Ohhhh
Chorus
Airwaves & Envelopes
Won't transmit
Another fading sentiment
Across state lines & time zones
There's no need to call and say
Our love was bound to go the way
Of telegraphs & payphones
Too many days have gone extinct
To let sunsets make me sink
Into the warm glow of nostalgia
You're the spectator who stayed
I'm a float in this parade
Don't call me at your leisure
If your heart's still in the bleachers
Chorus
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh Ohhhh
I know I'm ready to go it alone
Cuz my heart beats steady as a metronome.
And it won't, no it won't skip for you
Chorus 2x

Hourglass
Sentiments and memories
Are packed in personalities
Of the faces that we hope to see again
Hidden tears and long goodbyes
Commemorate the reasons why
We'll miss you and you'll always be a friend
Wooooooaaa Ah AhAh
Woooooooaa Ah AhAh
Chorus
You'll never see a sun rise that doesn't have to set
You'll never find a good road that doesn't have an end
So thank God for the present as it becomes the past
And try to feel each moment slippin' through your hands
In the middle of the hour glass
Brief introductions and hellos
Were planted, and God only knows
How many conversations brought us here
Without you in the day to day
The space we fill won't feel the same
We'll wish you all the best and persevere
Wooooooaaa Ah AhAh
Woooooooaa Ah AhAh
Chorus
Ceremonies formalize
The gratitude that's in our smiles
Little notes on greeting cards
Summarize our best regards
Chorus 2x

Neon Mistletoe

Neon Mistletoe
The crystal glasses chime
The band plays "Auld Lang Syne"
And pyrotechnics flash above us like neon mistletoe
With resolutions made
And sealed in PDA
We're covered in cliche`s and January snow
Chorus
When the ball drops slow like an elevator
We count down the floors and 10 stories later
A new kiss arrives
When love is on Eastern Standard Time
Confetti in the breeze
Gets swept up off the streets
Bringing brevity to light
And I hold you extra tight
I'd like to make believe
Every night is New Year's Eve
And hold you close before we sleep
Chorus
Let's celebrate today
Til it's midnight in L.A.
And as my wristwatch says
We're getting older
Rest your greying head
Upon my shoulder
Chorus 2x

Rob Vischer Nashville, Tennessee
Hi! I'm Rob. If my songs create movies or music videos in your head, I'm a success. The highways & back roads of America
inspire my songwriting, & hundreds of past venues inform my performance.
Great personalities & good quotes provide a firm foundation for the way I live, write, & perform. As you experience my music, I hope the daydream movies you imagine become the motion pictures you live in.
