Music In Me
03:00

Let's string lyrics together like dewdrops in spring
Let's sing, with each moment passing this melody is pouring out of me
Let's sing
I write, with each word I'm finding that darkness ignites into light
And I'll be alright
There's fear in my bones but a song in my soul that carries me along
It is my heart song
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
It's who I am
It's all I breathe
I got the music in me
I feel the movement and motion of hands on the strings
Just like flowers in sunlight harmonies come to life
There's fear in my bones but a song in my soul that carries me along
Gives me strength to go on
I got the music in me
I got the music in me
It's who I am
It's all I breathe
I got the music in me
So let's set fire to our skin
Let's send sparks to the wind
Let's arise to the sound of a melody
Deep inside you and I
Let's sing
It's who I am
It's all I breathe
I got the music in me
It's who I am
It's all I breathe
I got the music in me

Ode to the Music Maker
03:33

There you stand
In the room
All the eyes on you
I watch you take
A deep breath
Close your eyes
And let your mind do the rest
The words are your blood
They flow through your veins
The notes drip from your finger tips
Like droplets of rain
You can hear
With every beat
That your skin is screaming
As you sing these melodies
I don't know
You very well
But, there's so much to learn
From the stories you tell
Of your pain
Of your life
About the way that home feels
How she lit up your life
The words are your blood
They flow through your veins
The notes drip from your finger tips
Like droplets of rain
You can hear
With every beat
That your skin is screaming
As you sing these melodies
O~oh x6
There you stand
In the room
All the eyes
Are on you

Corners

Get out of my mind and into my bed
As you pull at my collar
Your whisper ricochet's in my head
You tug and you tease and I laugh while you please
And we tumble and fall to the sheets
My mind is reaching corners
That I never wished to go
So please let me stay
Or we'll never know
Can you feel my heart beating?
So fragile and kind
I am falling, can you catch me or will I be left behind?
These eyes can tell stories
Take a look through their glass
I am good at listening, lover
If you just me the chance
My mind is reaching corners
That I never wished to go
So please let me stay
Or we'll never know

The Muse

I want to write you a love song
Not any tune will do
I think that I'm stupid
'Cause I'm falling for you
I want write you a love song
But I can't find the words
You'll think that I'm stupid
And that makes it even worse
I don't know why I'm singing
About impossible things
You're not mine to begin with
And this will only burn and sting me
O-oh x8
I think I'm just dreaming
About the little bits you do
You're a kind soul and I'm begging
That you'll fall for me too
But I realize that can't happen
When you're already in love
So I'll sit here just singing
Sweetly songs that I'm full of
I'll take chances that I don't have
I'll write songs I shouldn't sing
Let me look a little longer
Let every note ring

Your Little Girl
03:21
|

Give her the stars
Give her the moon
Give her the love she needs to bloom
Give her hope
Give her strength
To create the life she wants to make
And you pray for the day she'll arrive
For this little girl to become your life
And she is loved
And you can't tell her enough
In everything she'll do
In everything she'll say
Every way
Everyday
Because she's your little girl
You pray she'll find love
You pray she'll settle down
Find a house in your town
You dream a white dress
You dream a big day
Of little ones on the way
But dreams are not what they seem
And you're not really sure what her's mean
She's on the edge of 22
She has her future in view
She isn't choosing the life you wanted her to~
But, she is loved and you can't tell her enough
In everything she'll do
In everything she'll say
Every way
Everyday
Because she's your little girl
She's your little girl

Out There

Give me minutes
Give me hours
Give me days
And give me years
Give me pages upon pages
Of heartbreak, joys and fears
'Cuz if I'm honest I'm just sitting here
Waiting for a song to hit me like a truck
And I'll admit to you that most times
I'm stuck with writers block
And shit out of luck
Give me notebooks
Give me napkins
Give me crayons and broken pens
Give me moments of pure panic
To write it down before I forget
'Cuz if I'm honest that's the best part
Playing with words to make poetry
Writing songs to make you feel at ease
And singing makes me feel free
And I'm trying to write songs
About what it means to grow up
But I still have so much living to do myself
This means:
Cliff hangers and road rage
Relationships and coffee runs
Late night studying with adrenaline wake ups
Mud at the bus stop and rain on my birthday
Double parked in Manhattan and lost in the city
Falling in love and learning it's hard
Playing badminton after school in our yard
All nighters and sunrises
Lattes and jokes
About things that I like and things that I don't
And friends that are toxic like cigarette smoke
And finding the bright side in the darkness like hope
Igniting a fire under my ass
To make sure I wake up in time just for class
Learning to ride a bike and driving a car
In life there are times that are easy and hard
But measure of character is not in the task
But how you survive it, that's how you will last
By learning and growing and living it all
Take in the beauty
Take in the fall
And just when you feel like you're going to crash
--- Just make up a song?
And I'm trying to write songs
About what it means to grow up
But I still have so much living to do myself
That no combination of words
Could really compare
To the life that's waiting for me to live
Out there
