When I Met You - 2014
Drink me up like lilac wine
Run your fingers down my spine
Brush my skin like a canvas to
Show me colors that I never knew
Glory, glory, halleju
My world spun around when I met you
Glory, glory, halleju
My world spun around when I met you
Seasons come and go like pain
Kiss my skin like a summer rain
Light me up like a sunlight sky
Invade my dreams on the moonlight nights
Glory, glory, halleju
My world spun around when I met you
Glory, glory, halleju
My world spun around when I met you
Calling - 2014
Sat behind the wheel with no place to go but I drove off anyways
Can't stop thinking about you
Still learning how to say the right thing at the right time
No one should have to sleep alone through a cold night
When you are ready you know how to find me
Follow the sound of my voice I'm calling
It's okay to doubt this, just take one more step
And follow the sound of my voice I'm calling
It's easy to tell that pennies in wells
don't make wishes come true
Still out there searching, direction uncertain
But I'll leave a map on the bedside table
Feeling more human although it is painful
When you are ready you know how to find me
Follow the sound of my voice I'm calling
It's okay to doubt this, just take one more step
And follow the sound of my voice I'm calling
I Dare You - 2014
Word came through, made it all crystal clear to me
Opened the door, now I'm going where I should be
It took losing you to find my inspiration,
Put my hand on my heart here's my declaration
There's no turning back, cut the anchor
I'm finding my way, force of nature
I'm giving my all try to stop me
I dare you
Set the sails, it's not the time for settling down
Looking for an adventure outside of this town
I knew I'd get lost but now it's my story
I'm lighting the fire that will burn on with glory
There's no turning back, cut the anchor
I'm finding my way, force of nature
I'm giving my all try to stop me
I dare you
When the right time comes you know it, you know it
Gotta trust your gut, just go with the current
When the waters rush embrace the excitement
It's a high-risk game but I'm going all in
There's no turning back, cut the anchor
I'm finding my way, force of nature
I'm giving my all try to stop me
I dare you
Sin With You - 2014
Impulsive craving, hard to deny
Brown eyes captivating, I’m swimming inside
Recklessly loving, hot like the sun
We’ve no understanding, I feel like we’re one
If I’m gonna sin I want to sin with you
It’s dangerous to wonder how we got here
Just get into the back seat and I’ll take the wheel
No need to rush babe, just feel it out
I can’t your mind no, you gotta say it aloud
If I’m gonna sin I want to sin with you
Corey In California – 2013
When Corey left for California he left an image in my head
Driving in his car on Sunday with a purple scarf around my neck
He had a dream, and I had a dream about him
Saving honeybees and climbing a mountain
Corey stayed in California sweating in the summer sun
Living out of his white Volvo on a road trip no where near done
He had a dream, and I had a dream about him
Saving honeybees and climbing a mountain
The last time that I saw Corey Christmas come around again
People gathered round the table sharing conversation till no end
He had a dream, and I had a dream about him
Saving honeybees and climbing a mountain
When Corey left for California he left an image in my head
Driving in his car on Sunday with a purple scarf around my neck
He had a dream, and I had a dream about him
Saving honeybees and climbing a mountain
It’s Worth It - 2012
We haven’t got a damn clue what we’re doing
I didn’t think about what I was pursuing
My blood just gets colder every day we’re apart
I could feel passion from the very start
Oils on canvas we mix perfectly
Sit down, relax, and tell me what you think
Don’t be brash, just keep trying and maybe someday
Our paths can collide and that’s where we’ll stay
Something tells me that the battle’s worth the bruise
Cause at this point we’ve got everything to lose
Open your head let me in
This secret is ours till the end
I’ll hand you my heart, pure as gold
And hope that you’re mine when we’re old
What’s not down in ink won’t last forever
Laughing with you makes my world a bit better
This is confusing tell me what it means
I don’t want to see you only in my dreams
Hop in the car and we’ll drive somewhere else
It can get lonely on the road by yourself
I trust you. Do you trust me?
That’s all we need
The air in our lungs and curiosity
Something tells me that the battle’s worth the bruise
Cause at this point we’ve got everything to lose
Open your head let me in
This secret is ours till the end
I’ll hand you my heart, pure as gold
And hope that you’re mine when we’re old
I don’t see myself with anybody else
Free of self-doubt and constant freaking out
If I’m completely honest I’d rather be alone
I’d give up everything if I can’t call you my own
Something tells me that the battle’s worth the bruise
Cause at this point we’ve got everything to lose
Open your head let me in
This secret is ours till the end
I’ll hand you my heart, pure as gold
And hope that you’re mine when we’re old
Wake Up - 2009
Taking my time never seems to work out
I hope thinking things over will help
Feels like second guessing never seems to work out
Cause almost every time I’ve got it figured out
Something goes wrong, terrible wrong
And then I start to realize
Wake up I know you’re dreaming but I’ve got something to tell you
That tomorrow’s gonna be a better day
But I’m not quite sure how to say this
Maybe I’ll save it for a better day
Running around in circles always seems like such a waste of time
Maybe it’s what I really needed to figure out what’s going on in my mind
Feels like second guessing never seems to work out
Cause almost every time I’ve got it figured out
Something goes wrong, terrible wrong
And then I start to realize
Wake up I know you’re dreaming but I’ve got something to tell you
That tomorrow’s gonna be a better day
But I’m not quite sure how to say this
Maybe I’ll save it for a better day
Here I am once again blaming myself
There you are putting everyone on a shelf
I’m sorry that I broke my promise but you broke yours too
And I’m telling you that I love you
Wake up I know you’re dreaming but I’ve got something to tell you
That tomorrow’s gonna be a better day
But I’m not quite sure how to say this
Maybe I’ll save it for a better day
All Of This World - 2012
Now it seems like you've been through hell and back
It's pretty gutsy straying off the path
That the people before you laid out
No second guessing, don't turn around
Though the branches may be cracking beneath your feet
You said "honey, after this passes life will be sweet."
Let the winds take your troubles away
Time never lasts when you want it to stay
All of this world is nothing without you
I'll be a playwright and you'll be the lead
Act like you're happy and eventually
It'll start making sense that love's all around
It just takes courage to figure it out
You can try to step in someone else's shoes
Give a stranger a flower and don't read the news
Look up at the sky and not at your feet
Send home a postcard and you'll make their week
All of this world is nothing without you
And when you start feeling restless and just want to run
Close your eyes for a second and imagine a world when you're gone
All of this world is nothing without you
Lighthouse – 2010
I’m aggressive, I’m defensive, I’m wired and I’m bare
I wasn’t born with the power to fight this it’s not fair
I want to be the girl that is right when she is wrong
To speak up say what she is thinking and to be strong
You left in such a hurry this seems too unreal
This must be some kind of dream or maybe a fairytale
How was I supposed to know that this wasn’t normal
It’s all I’ve ever seen now look at how you left me
I’m broken and I’m hollowed, I’m torn apart inside
This wasn’t what you told me I can’t make up my mind
The lights are flickering out will you please lead me home
Please be my lighthouse
Sometimes I’m selfish and I’m stubborn, I’m quiet and I’m scared
I’m shaken up, left crying; I’ve felt nobody there
To hold my hand I’ve wanted that feeling all this time
The love of a mother and father who is mine
The worst part about this is you don’t understand
This story I tell, I feel it's not right at the end
How was I supposed to know that this wasn’t normal
It’s all I’ve ever seen now look at how you left me
I’m broken and I’m hollowed, I’m torn apart inside
This wasn’t what you told me I can’t make up my mind
The lights are flickering out will you please lead me home
Please be my lighthouse
It’s never dark when you’re around
I promised myself I would never tell you how
I feel when I’m with you it’s the happiest I’ve been
Since I came to the truth
How was I supposed to know that this wasn’t normal
It’s all I’ve ever seen now look at how you left me
I’m broken and I’m hollowed, I’m torn apart inside
This wasn’t what you told me I can’t make up my mind
The lights are flickering out will you please lead me home
Please be my lighthouse
Afriad - 2014
Thought I saw you on the sidewalk, past me in the rain
One hand in your pocket, lonesome souls going through change
Constant winds of wonder blowing through your mind
Screaming silence give me comfort when the storm rages inside
But keep the window open I’m used to being cold
Thinking about driving into the other side of the road
Have you ever been afraid, I have babe
Have you ever been afraid, I have babe
You’re the needle and the thread, sewn into my skin
Feel you, but can’t see you, all your colors blending in
Hiding deep within the forest, try to escape when I can
When it’s really pouring, stand outside and let it cleanse
But keep the window open incase the door is locked
I need some kind of shelter from the lightning till it stops
Have you ever been afraid, I have babe
Have you ever been afraid, I have babe
Don't You Think - 2014
It took a long time for me to sort it out
Until I hopped on the train and headed south
So many months that I had blamed myself
For what your couldn’t fess up to
I looked at you and you looked through me
Felt like a stranger in a place that we’d eat and sleep
Watched each other grow and chase our dreams
But now it’s clear and certain
Oh I already knew
What wasn’t true
Well now it’s all said and done
Oh see the jokes on you
I’ve better things to do
Oh darling don’t you think it’s cruel
I’m glad he chose you over me
Because it took all of this time for me to see
That you were always in constant need
Of attention and satisfaction
Jealousy is not the way to go
And once you it’s a lonely awful road
I know that keeping secrets can make you cold
But now your soul is on full display
Oh I already knew
What wasn’t true
Well now it’s all said and done
Oh see the jokes on you
I’ve better things to do
Oh darling don’t you think it’s cruel
All this time I tried to patch things up
But you didn’t think that thirteen years was enough
To try to find some common ground
Instead you never wanted me when I was around
Girl you gotta learn to let things go
It’s gonna eat you alive, you’ll never sleep oh no
Go on thinking that you’re right all the time
Well karma’s a bitch when you treat her unkind
Oh I already knew
What wasn’t true
Well now it’s all said and done
Oh see the jokes on you
I’ve better things to do
Oh darling don’t you think it’s cruel
