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.

Jealous of You

3/17/2020

i don't like to compare
but the grass looks greener over there
i work hard, you do too
but what we both wanted only came to you

and i'm sending you all my well wishes
but the truth is, i'm jealous of you
yeah i'm jealous of you
yeah i'm jealous of you


i try not to be sad
just be grateful for all the things i have
i don't like to say it out loud
these green eyes don't make me proud

chorus

i don't like to waste my time
picking sour grapes from the vine
just keep it moving it's all i can do
just wish i wasn't so jealous of you

Let Love Lead the Way

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)

Quit Hanging Out With Those Friends

12/18/2018

1. quit hanging out with those friends
they mess with your reputation
as long as they keep judging
what they think is a sin
i just can't stand for them

2. quit letting them spoil your name
don't you feel like you're being framed? 
they shoot you like bullets of blame
and i don't like their aim
don't you feel the same? 

3. i'd love it if you could come back
not just airplanes and panic attacks
i just don't think that it would last
considering our past
so i don't even ask

4. they say every day that they serve you
they're lying cause they got the nerve to
make me feel like i don't deserve you
i got no one to turn to
god dammit i urge you

5. to quit hanging out with those friends
they mess with your reputation
i don't like to give ultimatums
but i fuckin' hate 'em
why'd you even create 'em? 

quit hanging out with those friends

This Flame (Melt With You)

11/13/2018

Lyrics ("melt with you" portion attributed to song of the same name by Modern English)

fire’s coming round the mountain, babe, start running for the car
no time for family photo albums, records, or guitars
freeewheelin’ dylan was my savior but I cannot return the favor
i know them all by heart anyways
they’ll be blowin’ in the wind after the blaze

you’re the only thing that i refuse to lose
even driving toward death’s door, you’re my refuge
when the world stops burning, this flame will continue
and i’ll melt with you


smoke’s clouding up our eyes, babe, open your ears and try to hear me
they may not recognize our bodies but I’ve memorized your spirit
leaving life is really scary but skin and bones are temporary
my love for you’s the only truth that stays
it will be blowin’ in the wind after the blaze


you’re the only thing that i refuse to lose 
even driving toward death’s door, you’re my refuge 
when the world stops burning, this flame will continue 
and i’ll melt with you ​

I Didn't Ask You

9/6/2018

you say, girl i like it fast
i say, boy that don’t surprise me
for what it’s worth i didn’t even ask
but you just gotta advise me

i’m not hoping i’m not wishing
i’m not asking for permission
you keep talking i’m not listening
my existence ain’t on trial
here comes that crazy bitch again
why does she get sensitive when
you tell her she’d look better if she’d only fucking smile

i didn’t ask you (woah)
how you see me (ooh)
i don’t need you (boy)
just to be me (yeah)


you say, girl you’re so emotional
i say, boy you’re just afraid of
living in a world where you’re losing control
you cower in the power that i’m made of

but it’s physical, political,
emotional and spiritual
it’s sexual, perpetual,
habitual assault
here comes that short skirt argument
why does she get sensitive when
you put your hands all over her
​and tell her it’s her fault

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

When that Idiot Wind Starts to Blow

4/7/2018

i've had enough of you
i've had enough of you
i sure wish your mouth came with some glue
cause i've had enough of you

it's not what you say but the way that you state it
it's not what you serve up but the way that you plate it
i'm already fed up 'fore i see the menu 
yes i've had enough of you

you're like a book i can't read
you're like a book i can't read
the day i put you down was the day i was freed
yeah you're like a book i can't read

each word so much worse than the last
i curse every page and skim past
all this stuff, it's just fluff, a marshmallow stampede
yeah you're like a book i can't read

i concur with your scorn for my cynical ways
it's a lazy and boring disguise
but the soapbox you stand on takes up too much space
and it's taking a toll on the roll on my eyes

when that idiot wind starts to blow

when that idiot wind starts to blow
i always take it as my cue to go
when that idiot wind starts to blow

i don't like to watch when the emperor streaks
or the way that the breath of a bragging man reeks
i'm covering my eyes i'm plugging my nose when that idiot wind starts to blow
yeah, i always take it as my cue to go when that idiot wind starts to blow

Pink to Blue, Red to Green

2/16/2018

0 Comments

 
i clicked the link that said add one to the basket
i didn’t think i’d be this young shopping for a casket
the whole thing was pink with pretty little flowers to match it
we watched it sink deep down in the grave that we paid for to stash it
 
in a way, the day she died, i did a little too
i’d have to say it was the day pink turned blue

 
when she was alive i’d get lost on a dime, broke down like a car
i tried to drive away so many times but never got too far
now i believe she’s giving me signs, i see ‘em in the stars
even though grief made me blind now i see her fine, she’s on my radar
 
in a way, she gave me the map, the key, and the gasoline
i’d have to say she’s paving the way for red to turn green

Daredevil Guardian Angel

Verse: E A B7 E
Chorus: A E A E // B7 A E

a little knievel, a little james dean
a little of your mama, a little mr. clean
a little love and laughter and kindness too
that’s what i think a lot about when i think of you
 
charismatic conor kent
ever since the accident
i've been wondering why you came and went so quickly
sometimes this world just don’t make sense
it gives and takes without consent
you were heaven-sent and i’m hell-bent on keeping you with me
my wrinkles they were worth it every last one
my dare-devil guardian angel son

 
a little country, a little hang ten
a little let loose, a little hardworking
a little adventure, a little smile too
that’s what i think a lot about when i think of you

Don't Want

Verse: E G#m F#m B
Chorus: E G#m A B // Cm B A Am

​
i don’t want to pay a publicist to like me
i don’t want to ask a journalist to write nice things about me
i don’t want to beg my friends to come to my next show
i don’t want to paste my stupid face on stupid clothes
 
i just want to write a song that saves the world or pays my rent
when chasing your dreams turns to chasing your tail
you start asking yourself where the hell all the time went

 
i don’t want to shake a hand and fake my admiration
i don’t want to stoke or fan the flames of my frustration
i don’t want to envy when my friends enjoy successes
or provide for free bits of me just to see who it impresses
 
i don’t want to be negative i’ll quit my bellyaching
i don’t want to second guess my purpose or decision making
i don’t want the past or future to chase me up a tree
if i stay here in this moment, maybe my dreams might chase me
