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.

Nothing Kind of Day

ain’t nothing new today
ain’t nothing profound to say
nothing of consequence achieved
nothing that i lost was retrieved
 
but i came home to you
and you came home to me
that’s more than a lot of folks can say
there’s something to being with you
at the end of a nothing kind of day

 
ain’t nothing crossed off the list
ain’t nothing worth my unclenched fist
nothing made work more than a check
nothing made my head less of a wreck

Not a Boy

6/4/2016

1 Comment

 
here comes the bride all dressed in white
and the biggest grin anyone's ever seen her wearing,
it's a million miles wide
a couple empty chairs cause you're not there
but she's brave enough to pass them up
because she knows love's waiting for her on the other side
 
you won't see her smile on her wedding day
walk her down the aisle, give her away
you won't know her joy, hear her vow
i am not a boy
that changes things somehow

 
here comes the bride, still quite surprised
that the woman waiting for me just so happens to adore me
and she wants to be my wife
those empty chairs, they're hard to bear
but there's love in the air and I'm still going to swear
to love her for the rest of her life
 
love is louder than any silencing
i am not a boy, and that don't change a thing

Rubber Band Gun

3/1/2016

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

Cheese Enchiladas

you wick away the water
before you step out of the shower
you lather on the lotion
for about a thousand hours
 
i soak up these scenes and small routines
all the little things you do
just when i thought you gave me everything
you give me something new to love about you

 
you love cheese enchiladas
and candies with words written on them
you make sure i’m tucked in tight
before you leave me in the morning

Last Name

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

Net and Key

i will not let you fall, never all the way down
my love, under it all, you will be safe, i will be sound
 
life’s a tightrope, you gotta walk it
a deadbolted door, we keep trying to unlock it
honey, i’ll be your net if you be my key
won’t you walk and unlock life with me?

 
i will not build up my walls, never too tall for you to come in
my love, inside it all, you will be safe, i will be open

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

Colder Feet

2/24/2010

left the key out on the dresser
sat down and cried
couldn’t make myself write the letter
that said goodbye
two toothbrushes in a coffee cup
there’s just one now
i’m sorry for the way i screwed things up
everywhere you turn you see damage done now
 
i just want to tell you one last thing
you were my shoulder, my best friend
wish i could have saved you from this pain
wish my feet were colder back then

 
empty bottles on the counter
broken pictures in the hall
i’m sorry that you’re angry, you should be
you probably don’t want to see me at all
big ol’ bed taking up too much space
much too big for one now
i’m sorry for that sad look on your face
everywhere you turn you see damage done now

Shitstorm 2009

12/19/2009

when my grandpa died, i think he might
have taken happiness with him
everything turned gray, colors washed away
god refused to listen
when my mom and dad finally got so sad
they had to end their union
it opened up my eyes, made me realize
they are only human
 
people say that love is the only answer
but i know they’ve got to be wrong
because this love’s my only question
where is my love, why is it gone?
 

when i left my home, i felt so alone
fair weather friends turned their backs
such a scary thought to go from having a lot
to living out of plastic bags
now i feel so strange and i know it will change
who i am forever
knocks the wind from me, brings me to my knees
turns me into a beggar

Tried

tried to do the right thing
tried to do the wife thing
i tried to wear that diamond ring
tried to do the wrong thing
tried to do the strong thing
i tried nearly everything
 
what do i try now?
what do i try now?
how hard i cry now
guess it’s goodbye now

 
tried to do the right thing
tried to quit pretending
i tried to find a song to sing
tried to do the wrong thing
tried to do the longing
i tried nearly everything
