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.

Guilt Get Gone

Capo 1 shapes:
Verse:
Bm C G

Chorus: D C G (guilt get gone Bm C G)

you really got a hold on me
ooh, you sink your teeth
are you ever gonna give me relief?
or do i gotta pry myself free?
 
you're wearing out your welcome
i don't pretend to know where you really belong
i'm sorry for giving you the wrong impression
but guilt get gone

 
you really set a still steel trap
you and i go way way way back
are you ever gonna lift that latch?
don't you know i got a life to catch?

Shrug and a Grin

4/25/2017

right this way ma'am to the finish line
i was never in your lane, you were never in mine
do what you gotta do, girl go get that win
did you do it the right way?
honey let's not pretend
 
sometimes you must choose to lose with a shrug and a grin
 
come with me friend to the starting line
you know i got your back, i hope you still got mine
do what we gotta do to begin again
i won't fight for a prize but I'll fight for a friend

Dot Above the i

Verse: Amaj7 A7sus2 A6sus4 AM7sus2​ // Amaj7 A7sus2 A6sus4 Amaj7 (?)
Chorus: Bm7 E Amaj7 // A6sus4 AM7sus2 (?)

​when the novel becomes a chapter
when the chapter becomes a line
when the story you’ve been chasing after
becomes once upon a time
 
tear it up and let it fly
tell it to somebody in the sky
punctured or punctuated by
the dot above the i
 
when a friendship becomes a footnote
when a hug becomes parentheses
when the story you thought you wrote
becomes whose words were these?

Nothing Kind of Day

4/11/2017

ain’t nothing new today
ain’t nothing profound to say
nothing of consequence achieved
nothing that i lost was retrieved
 
but i came home to you
and you came home to me
that’s more than a lot of folks can say
there’s something to being with you
at the end of a nothing kind of day

 
ain’t nothing crossed off the list
ain’t nothing worth my unclenched fist
nothing made work more than a check
nothing made my head less of a wreck

Would You Want Me?

3/21/2017

if i wore all the bells, if i blew all the whistles
if i drew the parallels, if i called my officials
would you want me? would you want me?
 
if i cashed a bigger check, if i cooked a better dinner
if i slept more or less, if i went to bed a winner
would you want me? would you want me?
 
if i lost all the weight, if i started medication
if i stopped to meditate, if i understood creation
would you want me? would you want me?

Pros and Cons

3/14/2017

0 Comments

 
i’ve got nothing left i can balance on
that lady with the blindfold is gone
her scale and her sword have nothing more to say
 
it was just us then, it’s just me now
where’s the justice in time running out
i’m trying to transcend but it sinks further in every day
 
so I keep company with well-known cons
i’m confident they’re my confidants
and the pros won’t speak to me
they are prone to secrecy
and i don’t know if I’ll ever get through it
cause I’ve been the only one swearing them to it

 
there’s no wisdom now, no prudence here
if I’m reckless or cautious, i really don’t care
this snake and this mirror just slithered nearer to prey
 
i don’t feel courage and i’m not in control
i can’t produce faith and i won’t be consoled
and i’m losing all hope that i’ll ever know better todays

Once Smitten Twice Shy

2/28/2017

0 Comments

 
asking you to think of me sounds so absurd
girl i could never work up the nerve
your lightning smiles and thunder eyes are elements i crave
but i could never bring myself to brave
 
cooked up some big plans for you and i
they’re burning up like a pie in the sky
we're not getting anywhere but goodbye
once smitten i’m twice shy

 
i could be the one to give love like you deserve
but honey i could never work up the nerve
dreams of us superfluous in this reality
being conscious of you made a coward of me

Lights Out

2/21/2017

1 Comment

 
her life was a boxing ring
she never took off her gloves
she never stopped swinging
not even for love
 
from the very first swing to the very last round
she boxed her way in, she boxed her way out
i never got too close, i never knew how
everything's different with the lights out

 
her faith was a lonely home
she never took off from that place
she never looked out the window
not even to see my face
 
from the very first brick to the very last grout
she boxed her way in, she boxed her way out
i never got too close, i never knew how
everything's different with the lights out

Net and Key 2

1/27/2017

maybe you’ll like telling jokes
maybe you’ll like reading poems
maybe you’ll like something we don’t
we’ll probably mess something up
like misplace your best sippy cup
if it gets hard enough to give up, we won’t
 
we’re building a home for you
a place you can grow into
anything you want to be
you will be safe with us
we’ll earn your faith, your love, your trust
give you our heart, net, and key

 
maybe you’ll cheer for the bears
maybe speak french, eat eclairs
maybe you’ll do something brand new
we’re gonna learn as you grow
we’re gonna teach what we know
if you wonder who loves you the most, we do

My Beast

1/20/2017

0 Comments

 
back away from a snake
play dead for a bear
howl at a wolf
climb a tree for a deer
i know all the protocol
when something wild’s coming at you
got no clue what to do when i’m the attacker
 
do i run do I hide?
do i dig a big hole and climb down or
stand my ground and lock eyes?
do I demand apologies or do I apologize?
when it comes to my beast
i’m just doing my best to survive

 
eat for a cold starve for a flu
ice for a sprain
take an aspirin or two
i know these remedies
for the sick and bed-ridden
got no clue what to do when i’m the affliction
