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.

Echo

10/18/2013

*co-written with Veronica May
 
the echo of the past, it lingers in my ear
the rumble of the future, never here but ever near
it's ok to look back it's ok to look on
like the setting of suns and the breaking of dawns
 
but space can make you close
close can make you far
the place you're missing most
is right here where you are

 
the voices of the past, they speak but don't say much
the fingers of the future, reaching out without a touch
it's ok to react it’s ok to stay calm
like the flash of the sun on the horizon

Whiplash

8/12/2013

0 Comments

 
i find myself crossing a pair of my fingers
could it be a wish or a lie
is it oncoming peace or despair that lingers
in each breath of a chest-heaving sigh
the tremors that shake me after the quake
break me down cause they signify
that last little shift in a continent drift
the moment the end just passes you by
 
why does the whiplash hurt more than the impact?
the ache in your head makes you realize the glass cracked
life flashed through your eyes, but you're alive, still
if the crash doesn't get you the whiplash will

 
the sight of your nose throws me back in my chair
i only knew noses could smell
jumped geronimo style from way up in the air
it might have been brave, but i'm still scared as hell
the parachute pull has rattled my skull
i fumble for ways to propel
will gravity greet the ground with my feet
it usually does, but you never can tell

Catch the Rain

Verse: Cm G# D# A#
Chorus: D# G# // Cm A# G# G#m D# G# D# (A#)

darling love was never the question
i have more than enough and so do you
darling love is the only answer
when people ask us how can you
 
tolerate hanging around this pain

don't you hate when the wind blows
i will wait with you and catch the rain
hold out our hands and see what else can grow

 
darling leaving is out of the question
i'll do my grieving right here with you
let them whisper let them have their opinion
just let em talk when they ask us how can you

It Lands

5/15/2013

​there’s a shroud of silence
that sends us off to sleep
there’s a cloud so dense
filled with words we dare not speak
tongues are tied, i can’t explain
if mine is biting yours
guess we refrain from the rain
cause when it pains it pours
 
there’s a shred of sunlight
that wakes us in the morn
there’s a miracle of life
like a baby being born
voices blend i can’t explain
which notes are yours or mine
guess the lights is why we fight
cause when we sing it shines
 
there’s a shrug of shoulders
that moves us up the road
there’s a hug of wases and weres
and a kiss from the unkown
fingers crossed, i can’t explain
if it’s a wish or command
guess it’s best to give it rest
cause when you trust it lands

Crimson Love

5/9/2013

0 Comments

 
​my love, once a chameleon green
changed shapes, fought hard not to be seen
shrank into a shallow shamrock dream
seeking out a four leaf clover
 
my love, once a jazzy blue
learned songs and scales it never knew
it sought the sky but stuck like glue
to an uncertain ocean lover
 
i've taken to the color wheel
to repaint the walls of how i feel
my canvas is a heart that needs to heal
but aren't all works in progress works of art still

 
my love, now a honey gold
smacks of sweetness somehow subtly bold
rises sunny to thaw out the cold
setting with a gentle hover
 
my love, now a crimson red
bleeds deeper than it's ever bled
as plump as kissed lips, freshly wed
fills to the top and spills right over

Boat Train

4/6/2013

Various Voicings of Bm A G

we built a freight train, it carried cargo
we set the train out to sea if it would float
we had a false hope
we had so far to go
if only trains had buoys
 
we should have built a boat, we should have let it sail
instead we built a train and let the train derail

 
we built a strong ship upon a railroad
sang sailor songs and dreamed of moving in one lane
we had a true love, we called it music
the anchor dropped, there was no steam
 
we should have built a train, we had a thousand tries
instead we built a boat and let the boat capsize

 
i'll dock my boat out in calmer waters
close enough to see land and i'll look for you
your locomotive will pass along the harbor
just close enough to squeeze my hand as you fly through
 
i'm going to build a boat, i'm going to hoist the mast
you're going to build a train, you're going to hear my name
a voice from the past
 
we're going to learn and grow, we're going to have some fun
go our separate ways and maybe meet some day
out by the setting sun

Love You Like the 80s

12/9/2012

*co-written with Veronica May

we are at the age, we're getting older, growing up
life is hard, life is scary, life is crazy
let's rewind the VHS tape back to a time
when things were easy, let me love you like the 80s

 
if times are hard, i've got your back
even when things get a little messy
you be kelly, i'll be zach or maybe slater to your jessie
doing it together, wearing matching sweaters
we're gonna do it our way
just like laverne and shirley or maybe bert and ernie
but not so inconspicuously gay

i'll love you no matter what
whether you are fat or if you're skinny
stomach full of butterflies
jets jackets and girly eyes
just like kevin and winnie
i don't mind, loving you's no crime
roger that, i'm your creature of habit
cartoon or not, you're smoking hot
just like jessica rabbit

Heart Beats

your chest, my head is pressed
the place i go to rest (feel the rhythm of you)
i can’t tell you how much
i love the sound of you living
 
heart beats through an hourglass
don’t breathe too hard, don’t breathe too fast
we can make each heart beat last
 
take a second, take you in
memorize your rhythm
we can make each heart beat last
heart beats through an hourglass
don’t breathe too hard too fast
heart beats through an hourglass
 
your breath, a quiet song
enters, exists your lungs (feel the rhythm of you)
i can’t tell you how much
i love the sound of you living

breathe it all in let it all out 
give it all up just let it go
take a pause babe, just because babe
no need to worry cause we know

the u-n-i in the universe
won't ever fade so
let's lay here in the sunlight
til the sunlight turns to shade


the energy in you and me
ain't ever going to no grave
count your blessings, make a mess then
learn your lessons, your souls are saved

Goldmine

*co-written with Veronica May
Verse: G Em C D
Chorus: Em Am C D
Bridge: ​Em C Am D

think we're safe now, the coast is clear
no more landmines to dance on dear
finally dry after it rained all year
rainbow sky smiles from ear to ear

at the end is where we will begin again
passing the test of time
riches without a dime
that's a real goldmine


think we're still now, the sea is calm
my heart is resting in your palm
slow and steady wins the race
cross the line, hand in hand, face to face

​triumph's not a trophy
or a pot of gold
it's waiting patiently
and watching life unfold
