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.

Once Smitten Twice Shy

2/28/2017

asking you to think of me sounds so absurd
girl i could never work up the nerve
your lightning smiles and thunder eyes are elements i crave
but i could never bring myself to brave
 
cooked up some big plans for you and i
they’re burning up like a pie in the sky
we're not getting anywhere but goodbye
once smitten i’m twice shy

 
i could be the one to give love like you deserve
but honey i could never work up the nerve
dreams of us superfluous in this reality
being conscious of you made a coward of me

Outrun the Universe

7/4/2013

i asked how much do you love me, like new lovers do
you said it's hard to quantify
i said the universe is expanding, isn't that cool
you said my darling i know why
 
did you ever wonder what the universe is expanding into
it's trying to catch up it's trying to keep up with my love for you
it's an ongoing chase, surpassing time and space
it can never be undone
my love for you will outrun the universe

 
i asked how long will you wait there, cause i need time
you said i been waiting my whole life and i don't mind
i said that time's unkind it has not been on my side
you said you were and erased the finish line

Oregon is in My Body Now

5/16/2013

it’s raining here in Oregon, springtime blossoms soak it in
just like me, my paper, petals, my pen, of course, the stem
and the bridges i keep crossing they support and transfer weight
over sleepy riverbeds of time their paths comprise my fate
 
oregon is in my body now
i’ll never be the same
her skies moisturize my skin
her rains cleans my brain
her trees have brought me to my knees
in gratitude and prayer
oregon is in my body now
wherever i am
she’ll always be there

 
easygoing attitudes in corner pubs and cafes
i relax and tap my toes to the music that she plays
her people so considerate, her careful care surrounds me
leaves me wanting to improve, leaves me better than she found me

Oh My

9/4/2011

*co-written with Veronica May

the first thing that i notice is the sunshine on her face
which leads me to her freckles looking like they're playing chase
her strong jawline, her lips to her eyes
which leads me to her midnight hair blowing through the sky

oh my, oh my, i feel sorry for the light
cause if her face is in the picture, nothing else catches my sight
oh my, oh my

i could spend the whole day smiling at this silly photograph
and the lengths she'll leap to for a little laugh
the frames can't tame her spirit's range, which explains why i feel
that her beauty can be captured but not caught dead standing still

oh my, oh my, this love is black and white
we know what to expect cause we've got the right effect
oh my, oh my

pressing flowers inside books, making melodies and hooks
reading pointless stories in bed
frisbee, jeopardy, laughing so damn hard you pee
these are the photographs flipping through my head

oh my, oh my, strolling the lane made up of time
P-I-C-T-U-R-Easily the best memory
oh my

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
