Lyrics 

(Verse 1)
Yeah, my mind’s been a NASCAR, racin’ nonstop
Spinnin’ wheels, couldn’t hit the brakes or make it stop
First 30 years, my mind was wild and free
Now it’s calm, but is this who I’m supposed to be?
Popped a pill to slow it down, now I’m standin’ still
But quiet nights got me wonderin’ if I’m losin’ my thrill

(Pre-Chorus)
I used to love how my thoughts could fly
But now it’s steady, and I’m askin’ why
Can I find myself without lettin’ go of the high?

(Chorus)
Holdin’ tight, stuck in the in-between
Missin’ the chaos but lovin’ the peace
Will I lose my spark? Will I find my way?
Or is this calm what I needed to stay?
Holdin’ tight to a restless heart
Tryin’ to heal the scars

(Verse 2)
Since this pill, I’ve been breathin’ for the first time
Feels so strange to hear the silence in my mind
But a part of me still misses the crazy pace
The wild ideas I used to chase

(Pre-Chorus)
I used to love the fire in my brain
Now I lie awake, wonderin’ if it’s the same
Can I be whole, or am I caught in this game?

(Chorus)
Holdin’ tight, stuck in the in-between
Missin’ the chaos but lovin’ the peace
Will I lose my spark? Will I find my way?
Or is this calm what I needed to stay?
Holdin’ tight to a restless heart
Tryin’ to heal the scars

(Outro)
This moment is clear, I can finally see
Pieces of chaos and calm livin’ in me

Holdin Tight

Kamalani - What Was I Made For

Wonderful Waste (Marvin Shelton)

Verse
I know I have changed
Since her and I met
My life rearranged
friends don’t understand it

They say, “boy, you’re just wasting your time”

CHORUS
Well, I could blow my cash on liquor and beer
Hang with the guys, doing nothing round here
Making Friday night trouble cuz we’re messing around
Come Saturday morning, I’m the talk of the town
if nothing is worse than loving on her, Oh my
What a wonderful waste of time

VERSE
I ain’t seen a game in weeks
But I’m the one winning
I’d rather walk on the beach
I guess I’m admitting

that I don’t think she’s a waste of my time

CHORUS
Well, I could blow my cash on liquor and beer
Hang with the guys, doing nothing round here
Making Friday night trouble cuz we’re messing around
Come Saturday morning, I’m the talk of the town
if nothing is worse than loving on her, Oh my
What a wonderful waste of time


CHORUS
Well, I don’t blow my cash on liquor and beer
Hang with the guys, doing nothing round here
I like Friday night cuddles and messing around
Come Saturday morning, We're the talk of the town
if nothing is worse than loving on her, Oh my
What a wonderful waste of time
Yeah, What a wonderful waste of time

Wonderful Waste

Short Stop

V1.
I had to flip my shades down
Sun was bright behind her frame.
I’d never seen her here before
But I had to know her name
Sent a note to her seat from the dugout
Asking for a number swap
258-2491
From the shortstop

Chorus
It was a short stop for drinks and dinner
A short stop for dancing and wine
A short stop at Jared to find a ring
‘Cos I had to make her mine
A short stop down on one knee
With a question I had to pop
With tears in her eyes she said yes
To a short stop. To a Shortstop.

V2.
For years she watched from the wive’s seats
She never missed a game
One day gave him a son
A shortstop with junior behind his name
As he played and grew they both knew
That he’d make it to the top
And a short stop became a lifetime
Watching their shortstop.

Chorus
It was a short stop for drinks and dinner
A short stop for dancing and wine
A short stop at Jared to find a ring
‘Cos I had to make her mine
A short stop down on one knee
With a question I had to pop
With tears in her eyes she said yes
To a short stop. To a Shortstop.

Chorus
It was a short stop for drinks and dinner
A short stop for dancing and wine
A short stop at Jared to find a ring
‘Cos I had to make her mine
A short stop down on one knee
With a question I had to pop
With tears in her eyes she said yes
To a short stop. To a Shortstop.

Short Stop (2025) (Cover)

Lyrics By: Paulo Sergio Carvalho

The streets still whisper your name,
Every step brings back the past.
I left too soon, I lost my way,
But I’ve come back home at last.

Do you still dream the way I do?
Does your heart still beat for me?
Time has changed so many things,
But some love is meant to be.

I was made for loving you, girl,
No way you're not in my world.
I need to see you tonight,
We need to set things right

I see your face in the midnight glow,
Feel your touch in the autumn breeze.
If we could start where we left off,
Would you take this chance with me?

I was made for loving you, girl,
No way you're not in my world.
I need to see you tonight,
We need to set things right

No more waiting, no more fears,
Let’s rewrite the lost years.
Every road has led me back,
Right into your arms at last.

Here we stand, hearts open wide,
No more distance, side by side.
I was lost, but now I see,
You were always home to me.

I was made for loving you, girl,
Through the storms, through the pain.
Tonight, we begin again,
No more goodbyes, love remains.

I was made for loving you, girl,
No way you're not in my world.
I need to see you tonight,
We need to set things right

21 forever
