Make Love
Make love.jpg

Verse I

I’m not perfect, aint no saint

But something I’ve discovered

I give my body out of shame

Not cuz’ you’re my lover

 

Verse II


And it hurts like crazy

All that shame

When goods what I aspire

If I give my ashes to the flame

Would they start a fire?

 

Pre

But how many times can a good heart break

And what does it take to recover

You think that I’d learn from my past mistakes

Sometimes I don’t even bother

 

Chorus

I don’t wanna have sex with you

I just wanna make love

We’ve got a good thing going

We don’t have to keep on going, baby

Why can’t this be enough?
I don’t want to have sex with you

I just wanna, I just wanna

make love

 

Verse III

Could of happened when my momma raised me

Built in woman power

Could have been the billboards trying to change me

And tell me that’s what matter

But how many times can a good heart break
And what does it take to uncover

The kind of intention you have for me

Is one I can’t even offer

 

Chorus

Bridge


One thing I’ve learned

Is that love comes in all shapes and sizes

To give it is one thing

But to make it

Is earned

Dead Broke

VERSE I

Put the groceries down

No sooner turn around

Card declined, that’s always happening

I’d be the joke in town

But I know there’s more around

Who can’t afford to feed their hungry mouths


PRE

I’d like to think 10 years from now

I’ll smile at all I didn’t know

The shame and the pain is worse than I have known

But they can’t take away what can’t be owned


CHORUS

Dead broke

With a little bit of hope

I’ll find out who is really there for me

Dead Broke

With a little bit of hope

I’ll fake my way until I make it

Take my job, but you can’t take my faith away from me

 

VERSE II

 

Sell the stuff I can't afford

All I have who knows what for

Hoping this old ship will turn around

But what it’s done is built my trust

In whatever created us

All my needs are met, and I’ll be alright


PRE II

I’d like to think

1 year from now

I’ll smile at all I didn’t know or see

I forfit the game which somehow set me free

It’s them who’s missing out, it won’t be me

 

CHORUS


BRIDGE

When the walls come crashing down down down

It may hurt me for a while but

Thanks to you who builds me up up up

This is temporary (3x)

Without You
Without you.jpg

Verse I


Here I am
It’s empty when I’m home

God knows how long
I’ll have to wait for you

I wouldn’t mind

But I just know you’re out there waiting too

And I wont go on

 

Chorus

Without you

Without You

I won’t waste a second of my time

With someone new

I wouldn’t leave

I still believe

That you’ll be thinking about me too

Without You

 

Verse II


I’d never hide

You’re not the only one but

Those that I’ve loved

Will help me love you more

You pay no mind

They won’t be half as good as you’ll ever be

And it wont be long

 

Chorus

 

Bridge

Now I can see what I never could see

Before you

No matter how far til I find where you are

You know I’ll be searching for your heart

Kitchen Sink

VERSE I

I’m as empty as the kitchen sink

Every day I have to see my shrink

Close my off and put me in a hole

Yea I’m in the ground, but I’m not old

 

CHORUS

No more

So long

All peace

My choice

Let me put on all my makeup

Cuz’ I’ll be gone before you wake up

 

VERSE II

Bet that you’ll be glad I’m not around

When you find I’m nowhere to be found

Life can be a thief without a sound

Bury all my treasures in the ground

Off the Ground
Off the ground.jpg

Verse I

What’s your secret

Don’t give them away

When everything comes back

To hurt you any way

 

Pre

And people keep talking ‘bout us

We’ll never be figured out

Let the rain wash over all the pain

Cause’ maybe they don’t know what they don’t know

 

Chorus

I would fight every day

You and me

 (oh oh)

Like a parachute

jumping out a plane

All I need and more

When the walls start crumbling

We will never let them win

You

You lift me off the ground

 

Verse II
In the silence

The truth never fades

You’re keeping me guessing

Throw caution to the rain

Pre

And people keep talking ‘bout us

We’ll never be figured out

When the storm is over

We can just start over

Do we know what we don’t know?


Chorus


Bridge

There’s nothing I won’t do

Cause I would follow you

To try to get to you

There’s nothing left to prove

When you could never lose

Geese to Swans
geese to swans.jpg

Verse I

There was a time

That I can still remember

Silver and white

The brightest I have known

I pray your eyes can see me through

This dark time

And you can pay no mind

The geese can turn to swans

Tonight

 

Verse II

Speak to the moon

The distance of the ocean

Tell her that soon

I’ll soar on saturns rings

All that we are

Can fall apart so gently

And there’s so little time

The geese can turn to swans

Tonight

 

Verse III


There was a time

That I can still remember

Silver and white

The brightest I have known

All that’s inside

Can break into the outside

If only we decide

That geese can turn to swans

 

And there’s so little time

That geese can turn to swans

The Great Divide
the great divide.jpg

VERSE I

I’m chasing cars and trapping butterflies

I’ll never catch you now

You lead me on and make me improvise

 

PRE

On the inside

You are more than what appears to be

 

CHORUS

Please quit changing up your mind

I’m only on your side

Forget the life you left behind

It gives me enemies inside

You keep the space so wide

You and I, we make

The Great Divide

 

VERSE II


I feel the you melting through the ice

I think I’ll catch you now

I won’t falter

Slowly climbing up your peak

 

CHORUS

 

BRIDGE

Don’t worry

No hurry

Breaking Down

VERSE I

You say you’re with me

You say you care

It doesn’t matter, you’ll go anywhere

But all the while

The words you burn

Situation, woulda thought I learned

Cause I would never spend the night

It don’t ever feel right

Bad decision in your eyes

Can’t help but wonder

 

PRE

What’s the disguise this time?
It’s never too late

 

CHORUS

Maybe it’s over

From what I can’t see

Maybe it’s done now

What I’ll never be

I hope that one day

When all of me comes to your side

The problem is my heart is breaking down

 

VERSE II

Keep me restless

Leave me dry

Keep me guessing

So I’ll wave ya’ goodbye

Cause I’m so tired

Misunderstood

Can’t help but wonder

 

PRE

What’s the disguise this time?

Could it be fate?

 

CHORUS


BRIDGE

Down, down

Down.

Down
