Amanda Schultz - Trouble
July 2015

I held your hand then I put it down
Nice of you to stick around
I'm feeling maybe I should leave
to stay would just be make believe

Why do I run?
Miss all the fun?
Sometimes a right it, sometimes I fight it
I have trouble finding trouble

I don't like my brand new strings
they sound like someone else's things
Won't go back how it was before
there's broken strands across my floor

Why do I run?
Miss all the fun?
Sometimes I fight it, sometimes I right it
I have trouble finding trouble
I have trouble finding trouble

If I wanted it bad enough
I would say to you that I've had enough
But I need a few to feel that tough
And you need a few to call my bluff

Why do I run?
Miss all the fun?
Sometime I right it, sometimes I fight it
I have trouble finding trouble
I have trouble finding trouble
I have trouble finding trouble

Trouble

Not Wrong

Wouldn't It by Amanda Schultz (2015)

Wouldn't it be nice if we weren't always walking on ice?
Wouldn't it be fun if you knew that you had even someone?
Wouldn't it be great if there were something to celebrate?
Wouldn't it be grand if you knew you could reach for my hand?

(Chorus)

Don't think that I think it'll settle down
Don't think that there's nothing we can do now
Cuz I'll never say never
and if we ever stay together
we'll come around

Wouldn't it be kind if you shared us the weight on your mind?
Wouldn't it be good if you knew and you felt like you could?

Don't think that I think it'll settle down
Don't think that there's nothing we can do now
Cuz I'll never say never
and if we ever stay together
we'll come around

(Bridge)
Wouldn't it be nice and wouldn't it be fun if you knew you had even someone?
Wouldn't it be great and wouldn't it be grand if you knew you could reach out for my hand?
Whoever told you you cant?

Don't think that I think it'll settle down
Don't think that there's nothing we can do now
Cuz I'll never say never
and if we ever stay together
we'll come around

Cuz I'll never say never

Wouldn't It

The Same

WRITTEN BY SHAUNA GOULD AND AMANDA SCHULTZ (2006)

the first song I ever wrote at 16 years old :)

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

We left those city lights in our dust
Nothing in that beat up car but the three of us
16, 18, 20 years old
we always did exactly what we were told, but not this time

Naming lakes, midnight walks and late night talks
Staying up all night, did we ever really fight?

Twisting, turning down that road to somewhere new
I'd only have the guts to do it with you

Leaving footprints in the sand
I can always fall into your steady hands
We know that life is hard so we do the best we can
by leaving footprints in the sand

Willow leaves, they fall on me
those shooting stars, man they're all I'll ever see
Learning about life on our own
don't worry mom, I still know my way back home

Running, laughing
Starting our lives brand new
I'd only have the guts to do it with you

Leaving footprints in the sand
I can always fall into your steady hands
We know that life is hard so we do the best we can
by 

Leaving footprints in the sand
Our new path through that untouched land
We know that life is hard so we do the best we can by
leaving footprints in the sand

We left our footprints in the sand

Footprints In The Sand

In my grown up life, I am a Television Producer living between Toronto and Vancouver for the past few years. Toronto is home right now - Vancouver is home, always. I've been writing songs since I was 16 and have recently started to dabble in recording them myself. 

Let me know if you have any thoughts on songs I should cover and I'm always welcome to receiving feedback on my originals.
