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.

Everything But Loving You

1. i don't wanna do the dishes
i don't wanna sweep the floor
i don't wanna be ambitious anymore
you're the only good news
walking in and out the door
so i'm thinking that i could use
a new plan moving forward

CH
i wanna quit everything but loving you
it's the only thing that i wanna do
cause i'm so good at it
makes me wanna quit
i wanna quit everything but loving you
cause i, i don't have a fucking clue
how to save the world
but i can love my girl
so i'm gonna quit everything but loving you
yes i'm gonna quit everything but loving you

2. i'm not thinking about tomorrow 
barely thinking about today
i just wanna keep the sorrow 
and the anger and worry at bay
i'm so thankful for my baby
she always knows what to say
so here's to being lazy 
and letting love lead the way

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

Ego

Verse: Bm A
Chorus: E D
Bridge:
E Bm 

are you my friend
are you my enemy
remember when
you used to take good care of me
lately you’ve been
treating me unbearably

ego, ego
please let me know
where did we go off track
ego, ego
you got my brain
do you got my back


are you Jekyll or Hyde
it’s still not clear to me
are you on my side
or just tired of being near to me
are you satisfied
you got another tear from me

we’re gonna have to make things right
you gotta let me have a say
cause we can’t keep having this fight
and i can’t live this way

Time is on the Way

8/24/2018

is the weight of the world wreaking its havoc
is the state of affairs so scary it hurts
is that venomous voice in your head automatic
just letting you have it
making you feel like dirt

baby you're the damn grand canyon
baby you're a big great lake
you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space
all those tall sequoias
they didn't grow in just one day
you know a landmark kind of life takes time
and time is on the way
time is on the way
carving marvels out of clay
yeah time is on the way


is the hardest part of your day in the morning
turn on your phone, feel alone, and lament
does the pressure you feel steal your breath without warning
feel that furrowed brow forming
making you feel irrelevant

baby you're the damn grand canyon
baby you're a big great lake
you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space
all those tall sequoias they didn't grow in just one day
you know a landmark kind of life takes time
and time is on the way time is on the way
carving marvels out of clay
yeah time is on the way
time is on the way
coming round to save the day
so slow down, let it pave the way
yeah time is on the way

Don't Overthink It

Chorus: Bm slide to D
Verse: Bm D // Bm A Bm C
​

don't overthink it, don't overdo it
sometimes it's good enough to get up and get through it
you don't have to kick every single wall down
sometimes it's good enough to get up and walk around

 
what's all this talk of getting on the saddle?
what's all this talk of climbing back on the horse?
what if the saddle's not compatible?
what if the horse threw you off your course?
what if the thing that you need currently
is to stop indulging worry so repeatedly?
question marks circle like sharks in your anxiety
but their fins are only figments of the swim you see
 
what's all this talk of persevering,
all this outrageous talk of getting ahead?
if persevering's too severe today,
it was courageous just to get out of bed
what if the thing that you need currently
is to stop indulging worry so repeatedly
question marks circle like sharks in your anxiety
but their fins are only figments of the swim you see

Would You Want Me?

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?

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

Rubber Band Gun

3/1/2016

1 Comment

 
she is a mother who gave me a father
her name is norma jean
bill was a deacon after he quit drinking
he married her when she was sixteen
he moved her out west when the greatest depression
chased them, they escaped by the skin of their teeth
i watched him adore her, do everything for her
he carried her purse, and he watched her sleep
 
64 times they circled sun til he shot off the earth
like a rubber band gun
her soul folded up like a thin paper plane
waiting for takeoff to see him again
the man of her dreams, the man in her dreams

 
i’m a granddaughter who lost my grandfather
my name is lindsay ann
meaningless moments turn into memories
he picked me up from school in a mercury sedan
what I’ll most miss is the forehead kisses
cause I grew up taller than my family tree
he left me a lesson that kindness is best you can
survive a hard life with no enemies
 
32 times we circled the sun til he shot off the earth
like a rubber band gun i got
no right to complain, no reason to cry
he told me to relax, let the world go by
the man of my dreams (repeat)
the man in my dreams

Worried Wheat

7/15/2015

0 Comments

 
i feel unshakeable sadness
i feel unbreakable guilt
everybody’s just sitting on their axis
it’s just the way my axis tilts
i think a lot about life
i think a lot about death
everybody’s trying to do what’s right
with the life that they got left
 
won’t you tell me what would you rather be
the careless chaff or the worried wheat

 
i’m losing my sense of direction
i’m losing my will to proceed
done running for reelection
im ready to concede
 
who am I to call this hurting
who am I to be afraid
sometimes your blessing is a burden
sometimes a feather is a weight when you're the worried wheat
 
i will get on the saddle
i hope this horse can swim
right now i don't even want to paddle
i’ll be better in the morning

Desert Wild

5/13/2015

Verse: E A E B7 A E
Chorus: A E A E B7 A E

there i was driving fast past the desert windmill farms
couldn’t see energy in their lifeless heavy arms
never thought something so still could make me feel such an alarm
maybe my anxious observation made them nervous to perform
 
the outlaw sun had every one frozen like a stick-up
they were praying for momentum, wondering when the wind might pick up
the sharp scare of the dead air could surely cure a case of the hiccups
i’m still clicking both my heels but now the dust won’t even kick up
 
i didn’t know what to do, i didn’t know what to say
i didn’t wanna go but sure as hell didn’t wanna stay
can’t recall every moment but I’ll always know the the way
I felt in the desert wild, a lonely child on mother’s day 
 

i slowed down near a truck stop town when something caught my sight
a cactus backed against the rocks, flexing for a fight
needles and pins pushing in and out with all their might
it looked thirsty, at the worst, it may not make it through the night
 
i felt sorry for that plant and the way it can’t give love
how should a cactus act when it’s offered a proper hug
of course i cared but wouldn’t dare to give it more than a sad shrug
i looked on the ground all around but never found my kid gloves
 
somewhere the weather’s not so hot and the ocean comes to play
otters hold hands when they sleep so they don’t drift away
​but daughters cling to other things cause they’d drown if they stayed
i thought in the desert wild, a lonely child on mother’s day
