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

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

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
ain't 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

7/17/2017

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?

3/21/2017

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

I've Got A Friend

3/20/2016

​i've got a friend who thinks she's jesus
but only when she's starting to climb
if you take away the storm she's braving
i think she does enough saving on her own time
she don't need the divine
 
i've got a friend simply known as V to us
she gives music away for the joy that it brings
she lives beautiful verse after verse
and sometimes that chorus can hurt
but she's gonna play anyway
she's gonna sing
 
she's got a friend who'll stand in her corner
round after round swing after swing
i've seen some scary shit
but i'm not afraid of it
cause she gave that gift to me
 
i'm in a band with my friend veronica
sometimes she's in command
sometimes i tow the line
so V i'm gonna wait for you
in every single waiting room
i don't care how many times
cause time always takes time
 
i've got a friend
and she's got me

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
