1. Better Selves
Hey, how are you doin?
I know you’re working hard
1. Better Selves © 2016
Hey, how are you doin?
I know you’re working hard
Hey, how are you doin?
I know your friends are far
Sometimes i just close my eyes and I dream we run away
Sometimes it’s just me by myself
But I know in my heart of hearts that we should both stay
And just be… our better selves
Hey, how am I doin?
You know it can be hard
Hey, how am I doin?
The old me seems so far
Sometimes I just close my eyes and I dream we run away
Sometimes it’s just me by myself
But I know in my heart of hearts that we should both stay
And just be… our better selves
We used to talk about everything
Now we just walk away and clutch these wedding rings
How about we both stay? And you hold me close today?
Hey, how are we doin?
I’d say we’re doing fine
Hey, how are we doin?
We’ll stand the test of time
Sometimes I just close my eyes and I dream we run away
Sometimes it’s just me by myself
But I know in my heart of hearts that we should both stay
And just be… our better selves

It's raining on the fourth of July
I'm far away from apple pie
Or a Brooklyn rooftop with a view
I'm far away from it all, but I'm close to you
You are my home,
My family
Wherever you roam
You know i'll be
With you, I share my dreams, my life
I'm so excited to be your wife
And to love you til the day that I die
We'll celebrate the fourth of July
You are my home,
My family
Wherever you roam
You know i'll be
Day of independence,
And I've never felt so free
To imagine with someone
The life we'd like to lead.
And I've never felt love like this before,
I can't believe I'm gonna love you more and more and more
You are my home,
My family
Wherever you roam
You know i'll be
Some of us Fall © 2106
I’m tired, I’m tired, I’m tired of everything
I’ve tried, I’ve Tried, I’ve tried everything
Why does everyone want to save me?
Is it to just save yourselves?
Why can’t you just let me be?
Some of us rise, and some of us fall
I’ve lied, I’ve lied, I’ve lied about everything
I’ve cried, I’ve cried, I’ve cried over everything
Why does everyone want to save me?
Is it to just save yourselves?
Why can’t you just let me be?
Some of us rise, and some of us fall
Don’t you think I would change if I could?
Don’t you know how I long to be understood?
If you could just be inside my head
To feel this pain and not judge instead
And I’m tired, I’m tired of everything
And I’ve tried, I’ve tried..everything
Why does everyone want to save me?
Is it to just save yourselves?
Why can’t you just let me be?
Cause some of us fall
Teenage Heart © 2015
I’ve been thinkin’ about the stories I was told
When I was younger about how when I’d get old
It would be all be so simple, all be so clear
But I disagree, now that I’m here
Because I still get mad, and I still feel sad
And I’ll stay say stupid things and then I’ll feel bad
And I.. i still write my songs...I do..
I’ve got a teenage heart
I’ve got a teenage heart
And though I might be old and I might be wise
If you look closer, you might be surprised to find a
Teenage heart
I’ve been thinkin’ about the stories I was told
When I was younger about how when I’d get old
It would be all be so simple, all be so clear
But I disagree, now that I’m here
Because I still get mad, and I still feel sad
And I’ll stay say stupid things and then I’ll feel bad
And I.. i still write my songs..for you
I’ve got a teenage heart
I’ve got a teenage heart
And though I might be old and I might be wise
If you look closer, you might be surprised to find a
Teenage heart
Don’t try to change me, just take me as I am
Don’t rearrange me, just try to understand
Ooh, this is me, and if you looked closer at yourself you might see
The same heart, The same heart
I’ve been thinkin’ about the stories I was told
When I was younger about how when I’d get old
It would be all be so simple, all be so clear
But I disagree, now that I’m here
I’m your mama © 2015-2017
I’m your mama, I’m your mama, Oh I’m your mama
Your mama, I’m here
There’ll be times when you won’t wanna talk to your mama
But oh, just know I’m here
I am to love you and let you go
There ain’t another love like this that I know
I will guide you, and give you
All that I can
I won’t hide you, won’t lie to you
And I’ll try to understand
I’m your mama, I’m your mama, Oh I’m your mama
Your mama, I’m here
There’ll be times when you won’t wanna talk to your mama
But oh, just know I’m here
There’ll be days when the world will break your heart
And it feels like it’s all falling apart
But I know , you know how loved you are
And that’s or I’m always with you, even when I’m far
I’m your mama, I’m your mama, Oh I’m your mama
Your mama, I’m here
There’ll be times when you won’t wanna talk to your mama
But oh, just know I’m here
You will fail you will fly
You’ll have fun you’ll have fears
You will laugh, you will cry
Watch the days turn into years
You may stumble, you may fall
And even if you crumble
You know who to call..
Your mama, Your mama, Oh your mama
Your mama, I’m here
There’ll be times when you won’t wanna talk to your mama
But oh, just know I’m here
I’m so sorry Mama © 2017
I’m so sorry mama things are this way
Don’t it make you wanna go back to yesterday
I’m so sorry mama things are this way
Don’t it make you wanna go back to yesterday .. Yesterday Yay..
Back when the sun was shining and we didn’t even know there was
A storm on the horizon raring to go
And our hearts were full, and our cares were free
Ain’t that the way that life is meant to be?
I raise my hands up no… into the sky
My hands up now...and wonder why?
My hands up now… try not to cry
I’m so sorry mama things are this way
Don’t it make you wanna go back to yesterday
I’m so sorry mama things are this way
Don’t it make you wanna go back to yesterday .. Yesterday Yay..
Back when the sun was shining and we didn’t even know there was
A storm on the horizon raring to go
And our hearts were full, and our cares were free
Ain’t that the way that life is meant to be?
I raise my hands up no… into the sky
My hands up now...and wonder why?
My hands up now… try not to cry
Don’t go, stop, don’t go this way
Don’t go, stop, go back to yesterday
Don’t go, stop, don’t go this way
Don’t go, stop, go back to yesterday
I’m so sorry mama…
Longer you Love Someone © 2011
When I first met you, you used to do the dishes
When I first met you, you couldn’t stop kissing me
When I first met you, you’d listen to my wishes
Made me feel that there was no one else but me
It’s funny the longer you love someone, the less you do
it’s funny because you’d think the opposite would be true
It’s funny that it’s not funny at all that I do find myself here
When I first met you, we used to talk for hours
Staying up all night, we had so much to share
When I first met you, you used to buy me flowers
But now my empty vase just sits there
It’s funny the longer you love someone..
When I first met you, we used to cook together
You would chop and I would stir with such glee
But now it seems that we have hit our stormy weather
I look around, there’s no one to be found, it’s just little me
It’s funny the longer you love someone …
Why don’t you come down © 2014 or 2015?
Why don’t you come down
Why don’t you come down?
Why don’t you come and see?
Come down and just be?
Why don’t you come down and spend a little time with me?
There’s boats in the harbor, trains on the tracks
Birds in the sky, flying so high
But they always seem to make it back like how I wish you would
Why don’t you come down
Why don’t you come down?
Why don’t you come and see?
Come down and just be?
Why don’t you come down and spend a little time with me?
Time keeps ticking on and you’re not here
Oh my darling I would wait for a hundred years
Just to hold you, to have you here by my side
Oh my darling, that would feel so right
My darling, where are you tonight?
Why don’t you come down
Why don’t you come down?
Why don’t you come and see?
Come down and just be?
Why don’t you come down and spend a little time with me?

I don’t know you, you don’t know me but let’s get together
I don’t know how it’s true, but just lookin at you, life’s lookin better
I’ve been feelin kinda scared to put myself out there
Feelin’ so unprepared, and I hope that you don’t care
Just when I saw you walk across that room, I just knew
I had to talk to you
So where are you from? What do you do? Do you have any pets?
Let’s skip small talk, just get right down to
Love, loss, joy and regrets
I’ve been feelin kinda scared to put myself out there
Feelin’ so unprepared, and now I just don’t care
And when I saw you walk across that room, I just knew
I had to talk to you
It just seems like everybody’s got somebody
I wanna be somebody too
And I know that you don’t know me
But my heart is true
My heart is true…. X 3
So what do you think: two peas in a pod or do opposites attract?
‘Cause I’m new at this thing, I’ve been lookin’ around,
But now I don’t want to look back
I’ve been feelin kinda scared to put myself out there
Feelin’ so unprepared, and now I just don’t care
And when I saw you walk across that room, I just knew
I had to talk to you
It just seems like everybody’s got somebody
I wanna be somebody too
And I know that you don’t know me
But my heart is true
My heart is true…. X 3
I wanna be somebody too
I wanna be somebody to you
peacocks and pyramids 2004
I've eaten in restaurants with peacocks in the garden
I've climbed the pyramids of days gone by
swum in the ocean and the cooling rivers
watched the sun set and rise in this vast sky
i've travelled on buses, boats and bicycles
i've walked the streets for miles and miles
but i would trade my peacocks and pyramids
for one of your smiles
‘Cause finding you, finding love
has been the most worthwhile
i've seen king's castles
and those made of sand
tasted the sweetest chocolate in the land
seen art that's moved me,
music that's soothed me
but i would trade my castles and chocolates
just to look in your eyes
cause finding you , finding love
was the greatest surprise
I’ve seen mountains and butterflies
children's faces
silver mines, and salsa dance, and fireworks above
crocodiles and dolphins , many places
would have been nothing
without your love
but i would trade my mountains and butterflies
just to be with you tonight
cause finding you, finding love
was the greatest delight
