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.

Lemonade

5/13/2020

1. i lose i lose
i get it i lose
Anything i love
i know enough to tell ya
i’m gonna lose it
i’m gonna lose it
i bruise i bruise
i’ve sensitive skin
it pinches like a peach
each time that you touch me
you bruise it
you bruise it

CH
look at all this lemonade i made babe
out of every lemon i’ve been given
take a picture of me diving in the pitcher
aint it funny how drowning looks like swimming
ain’t it funny how dying looks like living

2. i cry i cry
you know that i cry
my eyes never dry
heart heavy with sighs
i’m crying
i try i try but i can
barely get by
slowed to a crawl
get up and fall, i’m never flying
but i keep tryin

CH x2

Let Love Lead the Way

1/11/2019

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)

this is what we get
this is who we are
we’re the tin man who ran
away from a heart

this is who we are
it’s easy to explain
we’re the scarecrow who said no
to a brain

you see, that rug is getting bigger
the broom is getting thicker
we ain’t worth keeping, so it’s sweeping us under
we’re reaping what we’ve sown
this ain’t no place like home

this is what we get
this is what we’ve become
we’re the wicked and the cowardly
just eating up our young

this is who we are
this is what we get
ain’t no yellow brick gonna get
us out of it

and that rug is getting bigger
that broom is getting thicker
we ain’t worth keeping, so it’s sweeping us under
we’re reaping what we’ve sown
this ain’t no place like home

Lie In It

6/23/2017

when I'm naked as the truth and I'm lying next to you
i don't want your honor or your honesty
I don't need a crystal ball, in fact i don't need facts at all
when the night falls please uphold my policy

don't want to hear you bad news
darling spare me your goodbyes
i hate the sound of your hard truth
so lay me down in your soft lies
take your finest fabrications and spread 'em
corner to corner across my bed and
tomorrow we can rise from it but tonight won't you lie in it with me?

i can see your proof of burden staring at me, oh god it's hurting
to feel doubt about the one i love the most
and i know seeing is believing so let's just shut the blinds this evening and feel our way around this room with our eyes closed

Lights Out

2/21/2017

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

Last Name

8/15/2014

lately i’ve been thinking bout your skin
sweet and soft and brown just like cinnamon
daily daydream for night to come and stay
i wanna feel your body take my breath away

i’m painting pictures of you in my head dame
i hang those pictures of you in my bed frame
the moon looks so good on you, i’ll never see it the same
the only thing you’d wear better is my last name

i love to hear you say your m’s and o’s
i love the way i feel you in my toes
your loving’s like a well, bottomless and deep
always touching even when we sleep

i must have done something right
in my last life
to get to lay by your side

Lucky Charm

4/15/2014

a little girl whose crush finally kissed her on the cheek
a gambling man in Vegas on a winning streak
even charlie in the chocolate factory
none of these people are luckier than me

let the angels sing, let the chicken's cluck
i'm riding this love like a souped up truck
you're my rabbit's foot, you keep me safe from harm
i'm thanking my stars, you're my lucky charm

a baby crazy pregnant lady when they tell her it's a litter
the fans of a comedian who finally joins twitter
the winner of the california lottery
none of these people are luckier than me

the buzzer beater shooter from half-court range
a pardon from the warden for the guy they're gonna hang
sandra bullock in that really shitty movie gravity
none of these people are luckier than me

a boy thleeping thoundly with his teeth under his pillow
someone falling from a building n' rescued by a superhero
a knock at your door from ed mcmahon
none of these people are as lucky as i am

Last Good Thing

8/31/2013

sadness takes over
i miss this so much
heartache squeezes my heart's brakes
i can't take this, i've had enough
crying i'm trying not to
but you caught me in the act
i spun this wheel far as it will feel
i need anger to distract

i clench my fists cause i'm fucking pissed
that i died before my life was through
i wonder if loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do

anger takes over
the past just sweats from my pores
that wandering eye left me wondering why
i can't take the fury anymore
fuming the fire looming
how it burns, the color of rust
i spun this wheel far as it will feel
i find photographs to settle the dust

i'll calm stormy seas with good memories
be grateful that our love was something true
fight the urge to believe loving her
was the last good thing i'll ever do
and i hold my ground cause being lost and found
at the same time, for me is nothing new
still i wonder if loving her was the last good thing i'll ever do
it can not be the last good thing that i will ever do
it will not be the last good thing that i will ever do

Lifelong Love

4/1/2013

was it love at first sight? well it might have been
but like so many things, you don’t know what you have til it’s missing
when you went away i hoped and prayed that it was not too late
i’ll spend my life right by your side proving we were worth the wait

i’ll be your lifelong love
and your forever friend
whenever life gets rough
i’ve got a hand to lend
i’ll be your tried and true
until the very end
i’ll be your lifelong love

do i take your hand forever and stand right next to you
it’s the easiest question i’ve ever been asked – i do
every heart beat, i’m yours to keep with every promise that i make
i’ll spend my life right by your side proving we were worth the wait

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
