lyrics

he’s not there

by

These are the lyrics for my single that’s now available on iTunes, Amazon MP3, CD Baby, etc. 🙂

(PS: This is me asking you to check it out… if you didn’t already guess.)

—

once in every lifetime
you find the one
that’s meant to be
with you
yet still you search
forever to find that one

but now i have searched
for so long i just wanna give up
it’s so hard and
my heart has been
hurt so much
by so much

but now i see him
in my dreams and
i feel him
every day and every night
until i realize
he’s not there

once in every lifetime
the soul you love
will somehow find you
and though
they may be hard to see
you’ll know it’s them

but i have been fooled before
so i can’t trust anymore
yet still i think that
i will find him,
find him someday

but now i see him
in my dreams and
i feel him
every day and every night
until i realize
he’s not there

i know that he’s out there
or why would i ache so much
i need that part of my heart
to finally find home

but now i see him
in my dreams and
i feel him
every day and every night
until i realize
he’s not there

Turning Christmas

by

Snow falls all around
Windows all aglow

Smells of pine and gingerbread
Swirl inside my head

I can feel it in the air
It’s turning Christmas everywhere

People hug and children dream
of gifts beneath the tree

Making angels in the snow
With friends who won’t let go

Praying for those that we can’t see
Holding tight to family

Around the fire we all stand
heart in heart, hand in hand

You can feel it in the air
It’s turning Christmas everywhere

So there are the lyrics for my Christmas song so far… the music is done up to that point pretty much… now I feel like it needs a bridge to vary it up and I haven’t figured it out yet. If anyone has any suggestions, I’m open to it! 😉

Thanks for reading and happy holidays!

I Still Love You

by

I know I’ve made some dumb decisions
In the past.
I used to think there was no way for us
To last.
The time we had together was amazing
Though apart.
The moments that took you away are the ones
That broke my heart.

But baby, I still love you
More than I can say
I still love you
Even though I went astray
You’re still on my mind
More than half the time
And I still love you…
Do you still feel that way?

Gonna be a song! 🙂

Kisses in the Rain

by

You gave me kisses in the rain
Those sweet September mornings where
It felt like no one else was there

Now that you’re going away
There’s nowhere for me to stay
Thought that I didn’t love you
Boy, I guess that I was wrong
We’ll have to keep going strong

At the request of Peter … this is part of the song that I wrote when I was 10. I can’t remember the first verse and now it’s driving me crazy!

I’ll Show You

by

I guess I’m not what you’re looking for
This time around
No one is really at fault
I guess you think you have seen it all–
The best of me
But you’ve only seen the beginning

But one day,
I’ll show you what I’m made of
I’ll prove that I could be
Something you would want
I’ll show you how hard I will try
and I won’t give up

A bit of a song I started writing a few years ago after my American Idol audition…

My Obsession Song

by

Don’t forget me
cuz I’m going down
bleeding love
for a thousand years
wish you were here

gotta have roots before branches
stand
push
tomorrow will be kinder
so why does it rain down on utopia

i will never be the same without you
the one that got away
cuz history is made at night
paint it black
just a little bit stronger

Kind of a sequel to my soundtrack for you but with songs I’m currently obsessed with.  It might be cool to start a series of these poems made with song titles/recognizable lyrics… thoughts?

Is it over yet?

by

Is it over yet?
This never ending game we continue to play
Is it over yet?
Is this even worth it at the end of the day?

You pretend
What you say never feels sincere.
I pretend
That it’s not really you that’s here.

Is it over yet?
It’s like the old same song,
Playing over and over again.
I hear you but I no longer feel you.
When I try to pull away,
You hold on with all you have.
You think it’s so wonderful, but I think it’s not.
Is it over yet?

Since I’m at BiSC, I’m being lazy and posting stuff I’ve already written… Lyrics for Friday! 🙂

A Different Story

by

Do you think something like this
Happens every thousand years?
A connection neither of us can let go of?
You bring out the best there is in me.
Time slows down when I’m with you.
If only it could last forever…
But when you tell me how amazing I am,
I find it so hard to believe
That you only mean it as a friend.

Because when you hold me
I feel a different story.
I feel so much more than what you show me.
It’s the way you touch, the way you smile
Whenever you’re around me.
The way you talk, the way you hold me close.
You’re saying one thing but telling a different story.

For April 7 since I forgot…

Full Moon

by

There are no stars in the sky tonight
For their shine can’t compare
They hide away for today is the day…

I look at the sky, no shining eyes look back
Instead the brightness of the moon completes the sky
And takes my breath away… oh, I wish you had stayed

The full moon is like me and you,
Perfect and whole but only for so long.
Here one day, gone the next
We thought we’d have forever
When we only had a full moon.

Not so rare but oh so beautiful,
Remember the one night where we’d lay
Close by to watch the moon rise…

We’d watch the black sky, hand in hand
The man in the moon is my only company now
He listens but he can’t touch like you can

The full moon was like me and you,
Perfect and whole but only for so long.
Here one day, gone the next.
We thought we’d have forever
When we only had a full moon.

As I gaze upwards tonight, that shining face looks down
It is so complete like we used to be
Deep inside I hope you’re looking at the full moon
But the odds of that are once in a blue…

The full moon was like me and you,
Perfect and whole but only for so long.
Here one day, gone the next.
We thought we’d have forever
When we only had a full moon.

Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
Up above the world so high
The moon tonight, it shines so bright
Twinkle, twinkle little star
How I wonder where you are
