J.B. Spilker- Drums 25
It might be the red hair that makes this real estate agent so wild. Drum beats you can get lost in. JuBs needs a wife... thats the bottom line. If the band does nothing else but get him married, it will be a success.

LYRICS“DRIFT AWAYâ€
As we lay beneath this deep darks sky,
the haze of the burnt clouds got me high.
Holding you I’ve never felt so whole.
You’re getting up its time to go,
my tongue is dying to let you know.
Nothing here feels right without you,
I can’t live one night without you.I want to drift away on this feeling
Take me with you
Don’t let leave me home
I don’t want to be aloneUpon the edge I’m looking out,
discovering what this life’s all about.
I’ve made some mistakes I regret,
and I don’t expect you to forget.
Like all the tings I’ve pinned on you,
and all the time I didn’t tell the truth.
In my life I need you here,
I can’t live without you near.“CHANGESâ€
Why won’t they fall?
I’ve waited so long to feel this change.
Time to let go,
It’s time for my life to begin.
Hanging onto the details push you away,
The breeze reminds me that it’s too late.What am I waiting for, can you tell me?
Is this real or make believe?
Seasons have changed I’ve stayed the same,
And I’m to blame.I can’t move on.
Replay the regrets time and again
All I’ve let go,
It’s going to haunt me in the end.
At the time I just gave up on what once was
Always thought you would be there just because.Always thought it was only them,
turns out to be me in the end.
Love is blind but it’s plain to see,
the only thing that was blind is me.“ONCE AGAINâ€
Here we are inside my head
Once again I’ve let you down
Like I’ve done a thousand times before.
Oh it seems that everyday I get
a deeper sense of who I ‘am
and I swear this is the last time that you’ll weep for me again.
Life’s been hard but I’ve made it so
from a far you watch me grow
and make the mistakes that molded me into what I need to be.Every time that I hurt you
When I fall you pick me up
and forgive me once again.It’s so incredible to me
I fall you’re too proud of me.
You will the bad out of my heart and good is all you choose to see.
Without you I ‘am blind
but blind is what I’ve chosen to be.
I’m so quick to break but your love fixes so effortlessly.“MAROONEDâ€
She speaks to me with those brown eyes
They say that it’s you I desire.
Like two magnets we collide.
Nothing said we start a fire.
We go walking down the street
she’s got her hands allover me
and I don’t even care who sees that she’s into me.
I pull her hair from off her lips
and traces them with my finger tips
and in this moment it feels right.We stayed up all night just planning out our lives.
Her and I the beach, the breeze, the sand, the waves.
When the sun came up there was nothing left to say.
As I watched her drive away.Now it’s been so long since that memory.
Now I’ve got my own life and a family.
Every now and then I think about that day
And the way I felt as I watched her drive away.
