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.

This is Just What Heaven Means to Me

4/1/2011

*2nd/3rd verses co-written with Veronica May (1st verse and choruses cover Gospel song of the same name - Lindsay's grandparents Ollie & Bethel can be heard in recording)

a land removed from sickness pain and sorrow
no death, no theft, no aching, no more greed
no sad goodbyes but only glad reunions
oh this is just what heaven means to me

what will it be, when we get over yonder
and join the throng upon the glassy sea
to greet our loved ones and sing with them forever
oh this is just what heaven means to me

a people that have minds of understanding
and eyes that follow suit in what they see
they follow all the passages on love
oh this is just what heaven means to me

a swaying eucalyptus on the hillside
where lovebirds sit and sing their melody
surrounded by the people who we love most
oh this is just what heaven means to me

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

Owl Song

3/18/2010

*co-written with Veronica May (also recorded as Pretty Little Owl with The Lovebirds)

pretty little owl, won't you be my gal
fly up in my tree, won't you sit with me
we'll stay up all night under the moonlight
rest under my wing, listen to me sing

what will we see, where will we be
who knows, who knows
why should i care, when you're sitting there
i'm happy the who is you, happy the who is you

wiggle down your branch, can i have this dance
look in your big eyes, gosh you look so nice
spin my head around, make my owl heart pound
make my owl legs weak, kiss me on my owl beak

Stand in Ovation

3/9/2010

*co-written with Haley White

every thought was a play that you starred in
i can’t keep from clapping, i’m begging your pardon
but your radiating underneath that spotlight
this audience seat feels like a cage
it’s all i can do to keep from jumping onstage
because of the way that you look tonight

i’m yelling encore
i stand in ovation for you
wish i could do more
wish there was more i could do

give me your script, i will write myself in
you can be the new hero to my heroine
forget the dialogue, let’s get to the curtain call
we can hide in the wings where nobody’s watching
i know that your lips can do a lot more than talking
come on baby let’s break down the fourth wall

it’s intermission, i’m sitting here wishing
that they keep the lights on for the last scene
there’s not much time before your last bow
yet somehow i still keep hoping
that when you look out i’m the face in the crowd that you see
wish you could do more
wish you could give more to me

Victim and the Villain

3/2/2010

*co-written with Veronica May

wakes up in the morning, waxes his mustache
he's an evil-doer, revenge is his at last
dastardly deceiving, wears a mask and cape
memorized her shadow, so she can not escape

victim and the villain, they will play their part
one will take your pity, one will take your heart

goes to bed each evening, hangs her head in shame
she's a real do-gooder, especially good at blame
properly pathetic, wears a veil of doubt
memorized his methods, so he has no way out

he tiptoes under her nose
gets close enough to attack
she lets him in, again and again
she loves the knife in her back

what you may not notice, what you may not see
the victim and the villain, are both a part of me (it's me)

Pogo Stick

2/7/2010

*co-written with Veronica May

you got really sick of the pogo stick life
kept stalling, stalling
you scraped up your knees on some memories
now you’re scared of falling, falling

there’s no need to lament
it’s only cement
falling just leaves you a little stunned, stunned
if you get up quick
life on a pogo stick
you’ll see, clearly is meant for fun, fun

up and down you bounce
laughing hard out loud (ha ha ha ha)
in the fall you spring new feelings
feel the rush brush through your hair

it’s quite the sight
when you take flight
when you discover
you’ll land on a piece of rubber
