Amber Lynn 04:06
Amber Lynn (Words/Music B.Gallo) You caught me in a passing glance under all the right circumstances I must confess that I'm a mess you shouldn't wanna be any part of this Amber Lynn, I know you believe you would be so perfect for me What can I do so you can see somewhere there's a better man for you You won't conceal the look in your big brown eyes and I'm tryingto ignore it The tears they stain your satin dress you know I never meant to upset you Amber Lynn, I know you believe you would be so perfect for me What can I do so you can see somewhere there's a better man for you Oh Amber Lynn, when will you learn desire's not love and that love often hurts If just one night keeps you holding on Let this unravel, I won't string you along Amber Lynn, I know you believe you would be so perfect for me What can I do so you can see somewhere there's a better man for you Amber Lynn, I know you would be so perfect for me What can I do so you can see somewhere there's a better man for you a better man for you, a better man for you (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

When Wallflowers Bloom (Words/Music B. Gallo) She is shy but willing to take chances this evening She is painting pictures in her mind of the things she's wishing would happen this evening But she's changing the colors every time In her eyes I can see there's something happening but I can't quite figure what it is everyone has to believe in something and I believe that she might let me in Baby where are you going? The party's getting started The dance floor looks inviting but we don't have to dance here You didn't bring an umbrella I hope you can stand the weather But we won't need an umbrella for where the wallflowers bloom Her face is serene and slowly revealing a Mona Lisa smile from cheek to cheek I can't explain the things I'm feeling She is nothing short of a masterpiece I am waiting to see what kind of courage I can collect from running the bar dry and I know that something is bound to happen if by chance her eyes they meet mine Baby where are you going? The party's getting started The dance floor looks inviting but we don't have to dance here Run out into the night time and we'll drive away together and there'll be no inhibitions when we're dancing in my room there'll be no inhibitions when the wallflowers bloom (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

Waitress On Call [words/music B.Gallo] The waitress walks by asks me what I need and I reply, Just a black cup of coffee please. 'Cause I've got a hunger you could never feed, unless you are willing to come home with me So gather your tips and let's walk down mainstreet, I don't care if you've got no stilettos on your feet and God only knows if we'll get any sleep but we'll Have all these photos and memories to keep. Come let your hair down long and help me sing this song It ain't written yet but if you stay with me, it might be written by the morning, Come let your hair down long, and help me sing this song it ain't finished yet but if you stay with me, it might be finished by the morning So gather your keys, your sweater, and your skirt and make haste for the door because you're late for work. You've got two shifts and endless faces to serve and there won't be one to let you know what you're worth So while collecting your tips, could you please not fall? I'd hate for you to break because I think I'm in love I know that you said we weren't serious at all so I'll just have to be content to have a waitress on call. Come let your hair down long and help me sing this song It ain't written yet but if you stay with me, it might be written by the morning, Come let your hair down long, and help me sing this song it ain't finished yet but if you stay with me, it might be finished by the morning Don't ask why I hurt, you know it's 'cause you flirt with no regard for any feelings but your own. Still every night I dial your number all the while I know when the sun comes up you'll be gone. Come let your hair down long and help me sing this song It ain't written yet but if you stay with me, it might be written by the morning, Come let your hair down long, and help me sing this song it ain't finished yet but if you stay with me, it might be finished by the morning it ain't finished yet but if you stay with me, it might be finished by the morning it ain't finished yet but if you stay with me, we might be finished (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

Destined To Never (Words/Music B. Gallo) You smelled like peppermint and cigarette smoke on a bitter cold Winter's evening Your eyes were shades of dark blue and gray that made me decide against leaving So I stayed until the daybreak sun diminished like a fading ember but the sheets lost their heat from the night before now you're just somebody to remember You're no longer here, and I am stuck somewhere between the dreams that have already passed and the things that are destined to never This bedroom with the bottles that are all strewn about only prove what you've done to me there are no scars tattooed on my wrists, but the pain is plain to see So I go to the phone to call up your home I want to feed you a piece of my mind but the voice I hear's the operator unclear telling me there's a disconnected line You're no longer here, and I am stuck somewhere between the dreams that have already passed, and the things that'll never change time So I'd like to say that the glass is half full a little sunshine could make me feel better but darkness will come and optimism can't make every glass last forever You're no longer here, and I am stuck somewhere between the dreams that have already passed and the things that are destined to never between the dreams that have already passed and the things that are destined to never (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

Karma 03:23
Karma (words/music B. Gallo) I used to run so wild and free I guess that karma's catching up with me My bones they ache and I can't sleep, I guess that karma's catching up with me It's no wonder why I'm all alone burning every bridge I've ever crossed I'm seeking shelter from this storm and I'm willing to pay whatever cost You get what you give in and I took too much for free, I guess that karma's catching up with me In my younger days I was the king I guess that karma's catching up with me In my deck of cards you were my queen of hearts, I guess that karma's catching up with me It's no wonder why I'm all alone burning every bridge I've ever crossed I'm seeking shelter from this storm and I'm willing to pay whatever cost You get what you give in and I took too much for free, I guess that karma's catching up with me You get what you give in and I took too much for free, I guess that karma's catching up with me (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)
6.
Tears Never Come (Words/Music B. Gallo) Strolling down the avenue and the rain starts coming down a solitary Valentine and the rain it's heavier now this weather's so appropriate for walking home alone I don't mind if I get wet 'cause the tears they never come Walk into a small cafe and the waitress asks of me Would you like a table for two or just a counter seat? Could I have the space to have my coffee all alone I am gonna take my time 'cause the tears they never come Every night when I convince myself I need to cry The tears they never come so I never need to dry my eyes A heart shaped box of chocolates and a single glass of wine A double bed and a paper back to help to pass the time I wonder if I'll ever find a place that feels like home I need someone to break my heart 'cause the tears they never come Would you come and break my heart cause the tears they never come (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)
7.
All These Pretty Girls (Words/Music B. Gallo) I'm stranded down in the subway station while the train shoots down the rails I've caught her face but I'm a minute too late I'm feeling pained 'cause I know I failed in catching the one that seems most likely to effortlessly change my world I've gotta stop putting so much stock in all of these pretty girls I've rearranged my plans tonight 'cause I heard that you'd be waiting in the wings You've gone and changed but that's alright so long as I can hear you sing 'Cause every note that escapes your throat sends me to another world I've gotta stop putting so much stock in all of these pretty girls Sugar and spice and everything nice never go hand in hand The sweeter they seem the harder they bite that's something that I'll never understand I tried to hail the same cab you climbed in so I could get closer to you But I know you'd only see me as a fan, a hanger on without a clue Still I know enough that you would never as much make me and island in your world I've gotta stop putting so much stock in all of these pretty girls I've gotta stop putting so much stock in all of these pretty girls (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)
8.
Moonlight Bay (Words/Music B. Gallo) I saw your eyes reflect the moonlight on the bay I don't know if I'll find the words I'll need to say But if I get tounge tied well it's o.k. I'll follow you all the way down to the ocean side Drifting ourselves off to sleep singing lullabyes If you don't follow me home well that's alright Walk with me tonight in the moonlight I saw your eyes reflecting stars down by the bay I don't think I ever found the words to say You'll be walking in my memories every day Walk with me tonight walk with me tonight walk with me tonight in the moonlight Walk with me tonight walk with me tonight walk with me tonight in the moonlight (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

B-Movie 04:28
B Movie (Words/Music B. Gallo) Hey pretty baby leave and come downtown I'm feeling lonely and you can show me around We'll see the high beams of the passing cars They'll help us make a movie, and you can be the star Hey pretty baby come and take my hand 'Cause you've got nothing better to do, I'll make you understand That I'm worthwhile, I'm surely worth your time I'll try to make you smile, maybe you'll make me cry Never find a girl that looks like her I know this night's not gonna last forever, last forever, last forever Hey pretty baby let's leave this place We'll find somewhere to match the beauty of your face We'll get some coffee at a classy store and I know I swear by God I'll leave you wanting more Hey pretty baby climb into my bed I'm so tired I'll sleep for days and you'll just rest your head Sweet little thing let me in your dreams 'Cause we're still filming that final movie scene No one ever does what she does I think, I'm pretty sure I'm falling in love, falling in love, falling in love Hey pretty baby leave and just go home I've had a lot to drink and I want to be alone When I go to open my eyes I can see, Oh pretty baby you were never here with me, here with me, here with me (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

On The Way Down (Words/Music B. Gallo) I'm making excuses again tonight for why you shouldn't see me The Winter moon gives off low light It would illuminate your face a gorgeous silhouetted portrait would be etched onto my wall and ingrained into my mind And I don't think you should see how I'm tangled in my sheets and I may never unwind I've left the doors unlocked, love in case you do decide that you'd be willing to come come inside Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down I'm making excuses again tonight, for why you shouldn't want me but magnetism takes its toll The whiskey glass that was empty is about to overflow from a lack of self control, but it's a surefire way to keep warm And I don't think you should see how I'm tangled in my sheets and I may never unwind I've left the doors unlocked, love in case you do decide that you'd be willing to come come inside Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down Kiss me on the way down (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)
11.
The Party Guest (Words/Music B. Gallo) It's okay now, I'm willing to finally claim defeat I'll go home and put The Queen Is Dead infinitely on repeat 'Cause I saw you and your new man walking hand in hand on the street and that's just something that I wasn't ready to see So when the party guests arrive tonight I'll be the first one there With roses waiting in my hand and a certain sense of despair When the party guests clear out tonight I'll be the last to go and I will still be waiting on you wondering if you'll ever show Everybody tries to remind me that I never belonged to you So I always have to explain to them I was someone you once knew You were interested in the things I did, but now I'm just old news Just a late evening paper that's soaked in rain, and never gonna get any use So when the party guests arrive tonight I'll be the first one there With the roses waiting in my hand and a certain sense of despair When the party guests clear out tonight I'll be the last to go and I will still be waiting on you wondering if you'll ever show I put on my blue suede shoes, 'cause I was hoping to dance You're not even here to step on them, So I guess I'll refill my glass When the party guests arrived tonight I was the first one here Roses waiting in my hand, and a certain sense of despair When the party guests cleared out tonight I was the last to go I was hopelessly waiting on you wondering if you'd ever show I was stupidly waiting on you knowing you'd never show (C) 2014 Bryan Gallo (P) 2014 Bryan Gallo Muzak (ASCAP)

Bryan Gallo New York

Bryan Gallo is a Long Island based singer-songwriter. His songs are inspired by late nights in bars, the backseats of cars, and the pressures and consequences of living life romantically. Intrigued by both the sounds of alternative country-rock and wistful pop music he began to pen songs that would be deeply personal but still readily accessible. ... more
