Striped down acoustic version of Time After Time. Vocal arranging, singing, and production all done by me in my home studio with Kyle Saunders on guitar.

Time After Time

Oh you’ve really got a hold on me
The way you act so innocent and sweet
But I think you know exactly what you do to me
Fueling that fire, that burning desire deep inside
 
You’re in my head, you’re in my bones
You are the secret that I hold
You’re in my eyes, you’re in my lungs
You are what makes me come undone
I come undone
I come undone
 
I get lost inside those candy-coated eyes
Wanna let you play inside my cotton candy paradise
I bet you'd taste like licorice on my tongue 
I'm losing so hard so tired of trying to fight it

You’re in my head, you’re in my bones
You are the secret that I hold
You’re in my eyes you’re in my lungs
You are what makes me come undone 
I come undone
I come undone
 
You’re in my head, you’re in my bones
You are the secret that I hold
You’re in my eyes you’re in my lungs
You are what makes me come undone 
I come undone
I come undone

You’re in my head, you’re in my bones
You are the secret that I hold
You’re in my eyes you’re in my lungs
You are what makes me come undone 
I come undone
I come undone
I come undone

Unexpected Trespasses

Undone

Release Me

This is a song about that friend you have that you watch go through bad relationship after bad relationship and you think, "I would treat you so much better" but the timing never lines up for you to get together.

LYRICS

I've been watching you for a while
You don't seem to notice me at all
She's been draggin' you around
Like a dog on a leash

I can tell by the way she treats you
She doesn't know what she has
I know I could treat you better
If you would give me just one chance

I would do anything, anything, anything
To make you see
You're so much better than, better than, better than
The scraps she feeds

Am I holding too tight
To something that can never be
I know she knows 
Watching her watching me

I would do anything, anything, anything 
to make you see
You're so much better than, better than, better than
the scraps she feeds

Maybe in another life, 'nother life, 'nother life
Maybe if the stars aligned, stars aligned, stars aligned
Maybe we could be 
...more than friends

I've been watching you for a while
You don't seem to notice me at all

More Than Friends

LYRICS: 
I see you're calling me again, but I don't feel much like talking
It feels too damn good to hear you say my name

Every time I reach for you
You're not there, you're not there, you're not there
But every time you reach for me
I'm right here, right here, right here

I tried I let you go’ oh
Why can’t I let you go just leave me alone
Why won't you leave me alone 
Just leave me alone

You're holding her…in your arms but you're wishing it was me 
You don't want to let her go but you won't set me free

CHORUS

Every time I reach for you
You're not there, you're not there, you're not there 
I tried I let you go oh
Why can’t I let you go
Just leave me alone
Why won't you leave me alone
Just leave me alone

Leave Me Alone

I'm On Fire

I Should Know Better

My heart is so heavy
My head is caving in
From all of these thoughts I've been thinking

I don't want to feel
these feelings I feel 
I've fallen under your spell, don't know if I can help myself

CH: 
           I don't wanna know if you feel the same
           Cause if we say it out loud then everything will change

I fear that I'm falling
In love with you
But my name on your lips is a poisonous kiss, its true

I don't want to want to
I'm drowning in you
A lie hidden in truth
I don't want to need you
but god help me I do...

I know, yes I know
I should leave it alone
You're so hard to resist when you're begging me please don't go
You're so hard to resist baby please don't go...

I Don't Want to Want To

Stay

You Rescued Me

I have forgiven you so many times
That there is a callus on my heart
I tried to forgive and forget
But I’m to broken to even start

So do you really want to talk about it
Do you really want to go down that road
I've got a lot of hurt I've been holding onto, just under the surface
I’ve been waiting so long
For this silent storm to pass
I don’t know if I can let go
It won’t save us from our past

I would close my eyes 
Pretend that I was somewhere else
Wishing you would save me but
You were only worried about yourself

You left a hole inside my heart
and now you want to make amends well, 
We can go there if you want to but
I won’t tell you what you want to hear, so…

I don't really want to talk about it
I don't really want to go down that road
I've got a lot of hurt I've been holding onto just under the surface..

I’ve been waiting so long
For this silent storm to pass
I don’t know if I can let go
It won’t save us from our past

I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting for so long
I've been waiting waiting
I've been waiting waiting
I've been waiting for so long

Beauty and Blemishes

Silent Storm

My heart is pounding in this silent night
As we walk along the narrow path
We pause beneath the willows, lips touching like the breeze
I want this night to last forever

Under the blazing sky
You and I, you and I
Stars sparkle and shine
You and I, you and I
With our hearts on fire

We start to drift together in the dark
White moon reflecting back at us
I want to lie with you on the shore
the way the night lies on black water

The way I feel under your weight
I don't want to hesitate
Please take me now

As our bodies awaken under the sky
We give our hearts to the night
Never knowing what tomorrow brings
we may only have tonight

Hearts On Fire

I watched you flicker off into the night
Faded away into the dark
Our final moments linger in my mind
You stole a shard of my shattered heart

I wonder where you are tonight
Are you sleeping alone
Do you wish I was by your side
Can you hear me call you home 

I try to put you out of my mind
But all my thoughts lead back to you
The way your touch could set my soul on fire
The way your words could turn me into cinders

I put my pieces back together
Composed myself and return to sender

I wonder where you are tonight
Are you sleeping alone
Do you wish I was by your side
Can you hear me call you home 

I wonder where you are tonight
Are you sleeping alone
Do you wish I was by your side
Can you hear me call you home 
Can you hear me call you home
Can you hear me call you home
Can you hear me call you...home?

Return To Sender

Underneath Alex Winters' high-shimmer vocals and lithe, acoustic guitar melodies are evocative tales of dreamers and risk-takers, sung by an artist who’s unafraid to peer into the dark, while making her way into the light. Luna Guitars bestowed her with their Shining Star award in 2011, and 360 Magazine called her vocals “seamless” and compositions “effortless.” Fully connecting with her own voice as a performing songwriter, reveling in a vision that is still introspective and sensitive, yet equally strong, enigmatic, and haunting, Alex continues to develop her unique solo repertoire. Ranging from the expressive “Almost There,” concerning the tightrope walk of new love, to the inner turmoil of the broken-hearted (“Turn Out the Light” and “Didn’t I”) and the explosive “Under Cover Lover,” Alex reckons with the deep well of the human condition, of life and of love, in her heart-rendered songs.
