LYRICS

People often ask where they can find lyrics, so I compiled 10+ years worth of songs into one location! I even included some of the tunes I consider to be hot garbage clunkers, just for the fun of documenting the journey. If you'd like to support my songwriting, please download my music on iTunes, add songs to your Spotify Playlists, subscribe to my Youtube channel, and/or purchase physical copies of CDs wherever possible. These contributions help me sustain my career as an independent artist.

It Seems

6/24/2010

some days it seems like the rain ain’t gonna let up
it keeps coming down harder and harder
some days it seems that i’ll never find my way back to your well,
well i hope that thought don’t hold water

i know you’re not dead, but it seems that way sometimes
inside my head
i know you need space, but please don’t forget my face
i won’t forget you

most days it seems like I’m finally smiling on the inside
and i wish you could be happy for me
even though i don’t feel blue, all I can do is think of you
my smiles make me guilty

To All the Girls

6/24/2010

some of you are songs i sing along to
some of you have hurtful things to say
some of you will never leave her heart
and that’s okay, that’s okay

to all the girls she’s loved before
you fought the battle, but i’ll fight the war
i hate you for bruising her but i love you for losing her
i’ll always try to love much more
than all the girls she’s loved before

she’s on her tenth last pack but she’s trying to quit
she’s always losing her head, her keys, her wallet
i bet that drove you up the wall
but it don’t bother me, no not at all

I Am What I Am

5/9/2010

i picture the scene between me and you
sitting motionless in this living room
it’s a terrible thing to test the strength of blood-glue
but i don’t wanna lie, guess it’s best to tell the truth

i ain’t sorry for being what i am
i am sorry if it’s not what you had planned
we learn to hate the things that we don’t understand
i am what i am

i picture the pain in your eyes as i confess
but the fact remains i gotta get this off my chest
hope it won’t stain when we start to clean the mess
i fear the worst but i am hoping for the best

Love Was Delivered

5/1/2010

both of us had loads and loads of luggage
we let of a lot to lighten up
we rummaged through a wilderness of wreckage
found a bond so strong, it bandaged us back up

we used to walk against wild wind
struggled swimming sideways up the river
managed the mileage made it up around the bend
the current calmed, and love was delivered

both of us had bags and baggage
we emptied every heavy heart we held
at first there was a shortage making space for more love storage
but soon there was room for both of us to dwell

Force

4/30/2010

Drop D, Capo 2 D shapes:
Verse: root D C# G (or 5th fret E string that is dropped and capod lol)
Chorus: root E D E F // (you're a force) E F#m G A C# D

still don’t know what made you switch your stance
still don’t know what made you stop resisting me
pretty clear you’ll always wear the pants
but don’t i get credit for persisting?

every morning I’m impressed by your beauty and my happiness
pinch me, let me know we really exist
nervous as i always feel, i’m comfortable in skirt and heels
you’re a force i want to reckon with

searched every word coming out your mouth
needing reassurance you reciprocate
finally found a way to feel you out
your feelings are your fingers, i’m the chord shape

every night i’m not as scared that i’ll wake up and you won’t be there
pinch me, till i know we really exist
nervous as i always am, I’ll learn to listen through my hands
you’re a force i want to reckon with

Rock Paper Scissor

4/15/2010

the past will never shift so i’m learning to embrace it
the future is just a wish so i’m learning not to chase it
the present is a gift and i’m trying not to waste it
every choice is my reflection, i’m gonna have to face it

at the end of the day, let the chips fall where they may
let the light inside your love lead you a long
at the end of the night, keep the loving shining bright
so even in the dark you can’t go wrong
you can’t go wrong

love knocked off my boat it rocked me off my route
it sliced me paper thin but I’ll never rule it out
cause when love cuts you with its scissors, something better’s bound to sprout
i will play the game of love cause i could never do without

Beautiful

4/1/2010

*verses co-written with Veronica May (chorus/bridge partial cover of Snoop Dogg/Pharell song of the same name)

starting out it was the shot heard round the world
a committed lady going after a noncommittal girl
but then time, time finally took its toll
life was the objective and love was the goal
and then i said...

you're beautiful, i just want you to know, you're my favorite girl

finally settled down and things got better
consider this song a little love letter
it's like a whole new life now that you're in it
baby be my wife, and let's begin it

i just wanted you to know that you are really special

Love Letters

3/31/2010

*co-written with Veronica May

you took the pain, added a t
painted right over the hurt inside me
believe what i say, when i say it's true
filled a big gaping hole with a big w

o, g, i, c something in u
u and i r right on q
nobody ever writes love letters these days
they spend all their time driving on online freeways
there's gotta be somebody somewhere that you know
who could use a few handwritten x's and o's

you took the hate, switched out the h
with an f and I guess it turned into fate
you wanted her badly, you set out to get her
took away the space so we'd be together

Bethel and Ollie

3/29/2010

*Co-write with Veronica May. (first verse lyrics corrected - we got it backwards in the video)

she was late to church one day
and they need someone had to play
so he picked up her guitar right when she pulled up in her car
bethel and ollie met that day

they were full of love (bethel and ollie)
they were full of light (bethel and ollie)
he was more than a husband (bethel and ollie)
she was more than a wife (true love)
they were true to their vows (bethel and ollie)
til the day the died (always falling)
bethel and ollie always falling into love

he tended to their fields as she tended to their home
they intended to give love and had five children of their own
camping in the summers, cotton in the spring
and in the fall they were falling

Just Know

3/24/2010

just when i thought we were dead on arrival
we showed signs of survival
just when i thought we were starting to click
you go, you get homesick

when you go, just know, my days will be less sunny
and my summertime less hot
but who am i to stand in your way honey
just know i’ll miss you a lot
Just know i’ll miss you a lot

and i’ll stay by your side until the end of the ride
and take it day by day
changing tides are just a part of life
and even though i wanna say stay, i’ll just say
