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.

No Stopping It

6/14/2019

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
there's no stopping it now

​
here it comes again
better out than in

Needle and Thread

9/7/2017

 ​i get to the point 
i'm sharp to the touch 
sometimes i'm out for blood 
it doesn't take much 
you're shockingly strong 
not as soft as you seem 
sometimes you are afraid 
but babe you can get through anything 

we are tied together sister 
we were born and bred and this time 
we will keep what we reap when we sow 
they don't know about this needle and thread 


i struggled alone 
got lost in the stack 
returned to my home 
i learned to attack 
you suffered enough
all tangled and spun 
we will not be caught 
stark naked when the winter comes

Nothing Worse

9/7/2017

there's a pillow i keep punching
i always take you lying down
there's a pill so hard to swallow
i have to hide it in my mouth
 
i'm sinking down the valley, can't find the surface
i'm fighting the finale, like a novice novelist
i'm pacing like Penelope, hope for my homecoming kiss
course there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this
 
there's a hole where i keep whispering
i always wonder if you hear
there's a hopeless place where i know best
but dear i don't dare to go near
 
i'm counting up the memories and the sacrifices
i'll spend them on you honey i don't care what the price is
i'm testing several theories hoping to prove the same thesis
but there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this
 
worry my mind, furrow my brow sweetheart
i'm sweating bullets sweating you out
how can i let you go when i still hope that hope exists
i know
there's nothing worse than hoping at a lonesome time like this
still i just sit here hoping at a lonesome time like this

Nothing Kind of Day

4/11/2017

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

maybe you’ll like telling jokes
maybe you’ll like reading poems
maybe you’ll like something we don’t
we’ll probably mess something up
like misplace your best sippy cup
if it gets hard enough to give up, we won’t
 
we’re building a home for you
a place you can grow into
anything you want to be
you will be safe with us
we’ll earn your faith, your love, your trust
give you our heart, net, and key

 
maybe you’ll cheer for the bears
maybe speak french, eat eclairs
maybe you’ll do something brand new
we’re gonna learn as you grow
we’re gonna teach what we know
if you wonder who loves you the most, we do

Not a Boy

6/4/2016

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

New Day

3/14/2014

around five in the morning the mist masked the moon
just a few more hours, we'll be in oregon soon
we drove through the night, laughing all the way
while the skyscraper trees held the sun at bay
 
here comes the new day
here comes the sunrise
our cheeks hurt from smiling
good tears fill our eyes
here comes the new day
here comes the sunrise
the road is so familiar
but it feels like a surprise
welcome the new day
here comes the new day

 
around seven in the morning the light swallowed up the dark
it won't be long now til we put this car in park
the pastels of the morning allow the night to just let go
honoring past tales without mourning
they only want to say hello

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

New You and I

​done all that i could do
darlin' so did you
dying dead and done
but only just begun

time's the only thing that grows old and doesn't die
i will grieve this sad reprieve as i say goodbye
love's the only thing in me that heaves a heavy sigh
love lifts my hand to you and waves hello to the new you and i

 
i'll love you in a lyric
you'll sing to me, and i'll hear it
our kisses will be harmony
we will always be a we

Now

the deal went down on new year’s day
said to myself i can’t live this way
looked around and saw nothing living
then i found some love and just started giving
 
now i can play inside of my own garden
now i can forgive and live a life out loud
ever since i picked up that i can and started watering
everything is green, yeah, everything is growing now
now, now
everything is growing now

 
the deal went down on valentine’s
said to myself i’m finally fine
looked around and saw beauty in the air
no fences, just bridges that lead to everywhere
