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.

What the Wind Feels Like (When it Stops Blowing)

1. the sky is a beautiful february pink
the same color as your casket
each time this time of year rolls around
it makes me stop and think about
how hearts are couches covered up in plastic

CH
and i don’t know if i can
keep going i just
keep wondering
what the wind feels like
what the wind feels like
when it stops blowing


2. my lungs are a dutiful pulmonary pink
the same color of your cheeks in the last hours
each time this time of year rolls around
it makes me stop and think about
how lungs are vases watering wilting flowers

CH

Knees

1. you kiss my forehead every morning when you’re going to work
and i say i love you please be safe

try not to worry about the strangers and the dangers that lurk
inside my head cause they’ll make me make you be late

i know one day that one of us is gonna bite the dust
it kinda makes you wanna pull a thelma and louise
i’m not a praying lady baby but I love you so much
the thought of losing you makes me get down on my

knees and say
don’t let it be today

2. i kiss your lips every night when we’re going to bed
and you say i love you have sweet dreams

try not to listen to the bees buzzin’ in my head
that we’ll be dead in the blink of an eye it seems

it happens to the very best and worst of us
and every single living creature in between

i’m not a praying lady baby but I love you so much
the thought of losing you makes me get down on my

knees and say
don’t let it be today

Br.
maybe, maybe, time is a fabrication
yeah maybe, just maybe, we’re all pieces of one creation
walking in our separate skin but the same energy
it makes you get on your

knees and say
let’s celebrate today
and hopefully i’ll be with you some way
for eternity, what do you say?
you and me
you and me, always

Read My Mind

1. you can give me liquor
you can give me pills
something to make me sicker
than i already feel
you can give me laughter
you can give me hope
somebody to look after
when i can barely cope

but you can’t read my mind
neither can i
go ahead and try
tell me what you find
you don’t know my brain
strangely, we’re estranged
how can i explain
i’d never find the time
you can't read my mind


2. you can give me music
you can give me words
sometimes i’m scared i’m gonna lose it
sometimes words just make things worse
you can give me questions
you can give me space
somewhere i can learn the lessons i’ve been questioning how to learn in this place


but you can’t read my mind 
neither can i 
go ahead and try 
tell me what you find 
you don’t know my brain 
strangely, we’re estranged 
how can i explain 
i’d never find the time 
you can't read my mind

is made up
of the crazy stuff


you can’t read my mind 
neither can i 
go ahead and try 
tell me what you find 
you don’t know my brain 
strangely, we’re estranged 
how can i explain 
i’d never find the time 
you can't read my mind

No Stopping It

1. ain't no stopping my frightening appetite
i snap like a snake, always take the biggest bite
oh, too busy chewing, i know i'm not doing it right
oh, no one ever told me how to hold a fork and knife

so i swallow it whole
taking it down
losing control
ain't no stopping it now
i regurgitate 
spit it back out
must be something i ate
ain't no stopping it now


2. ain't no stopping my rising Fahrenheit
i'm sick as a dog, always crying every night
oh, reticent to medicine, hesitant to taking care
oh, cause when everyone leaves, my disease is always there


so i swallow it whole
taking it down
losing control
ain't no stopping it now
i regurgitate 
spit it back out
must be something i ate
ain't no stopping it now

here it comes again
better out than in


i swallow it whole
taking it down
losing control
ain't no stopping it now
i regurgitate 
spit it back out
must be something i ate
there's no stopping it now

​
here it comes again
better out than in

Cotton Candy

Verse: C#m B A G# 
Chorus: C#m G# A B // mess = G#  // end on G#

1. guess i was sweet on you
since before i could tie my shoes
since before i could feed myself
before i learned to trust someone else
grew up thinking it was okay
that i could trust whatever you say
didn't know what you were feeding me
now i'm filling in the cavities

cotton candy kind of love
never ever filled me up
we were spinning in your truth
cotton candy kind of pain
just a couple grains of sugar cane
and a whole mess of blue


2. guess i just wanted more
tired of living in your metaphor
tired of caring bout what you think
tired of hiding that i like pink
woke up wishing it wasn't true
watched the air fall out of you
it took the air right out of me
and i'm still licking you off my teeth

cotton candy kind of love
never ever filled me up
we were spinning in your truth
cotton candy kind of pain
just a couple grains of sugar cane
and a whole mess of blue

guess i was sweet on you...

cotton candy kind of love
never ever filled me up
we were spinning in your truth
cotton candy kind of pain
just a couple grains of sugar cane
and a whole mess of blue

Battle Lines

(Capo 2 Shapes)
Verse: 
E A
Chorus: B A 
​
1. she eats her dinner hovered over the sink
bends down to the faucet when she wants a drink
she don't sit at the table, pour herself some wine
she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

she grew up faster than most kids
now all the boys treat her like her daddy did
as far as she's concerned she's just rotting on the vine
she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

she don't love herself
she won't give herself the time
she don't need nobody else 
telling her she ain't worth a dime
the only hand she's been dealt 
is the hurting kind
the battle scars are hard inside her heart so 
she keeps drawing deeper battle lines


2. she makes her money taking off her clothes
it ain't what she likes it's just what she knows
she ain't smiled for real since '89
she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

she don't love herself
she won't give herself the time
she don't need nobody else 
telling her she ain't worth a dime
the only hand she's been dealt 
is the hurting kind
the battle scars are hard inside her heart so 
she keeps drawing deeper battle lines

3. no one's coming to save the day
they would've come by now if it worked that way
she's just flickering out like a neon sign

she don't love herself enough, she won't give herself the time

You Would Think

(second verse written by Becca Jay)

1. y
ou would think
you could change
for yourself

i wouldn’t even have to ask you to
you would think
that the pain
in my eyes
would be reason enough
for you


you’re in my head
you’re out of my hands
and it breaks my heart
to watch you sink
you could change
for yourself
you would think


2. you would think
over time
you could let
a gentle current pull you
somewhere new
you would think
you could climb
to the top of this mountain
instead of waiting for it
to move

you’re in my head
you’re out of my hands
and it breaks my heart
to watch you sink
you could change
for yourself
you would think

br.
you would think i could turn away
you would think i would learn some day
but instead, instead, instead, instead...
​

you’re in my head
you’re out of my hands
and it breaks my heart
to watch you sink
you could change
for yourself
you would think

Let Love Lead the Way

1. we are the women
we have the power
to come together
to save the day
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way


let love lead the way (let love lead the way)

2. we are the women
we make our own choices
we lift up our voices
we are not afraid
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way

let love lead the way (let love lead the way) 

3. we are the women
all colors of skin and
we will be voting on election day
mothers before us
sisters beside us
daughters to guide us
let love lead the way 
​
let love lead the way (let love lead the way)
