Learn To Let Go

Carry yourself like the world is off of your shoulders for once                                              You’re getting older alone, and sinking deeper for months                                                         And all that time you spent next to the hospital bed, you put on brand new sheets and think of what she said                                                                                                                               How she holds your heart, how you’re the greatest man, how you’re the only one that could ever understand                                                                                                                                      It’s been so long since I’ve been without you, It’s weird to think I can still breathe without you
There is no rhyme or reason needed to say the things I want to                                                There is no time or season left that’s ours, but we’ll hold hands soon                                        You gave up, I gave in, though it’s hard to defend                                                                       But I hope you’re safe and sound tonight, like you were here by my right side                        With nothing but time
Learn to let go
Today was a lot like Hell, with more suits and ties, cold sweats, and wet eyes                         New faces of old friends draw us pictures for our heads to color in                                             I’m alone, I’m a lie, I’m less of alive than I thought I could be and hoped I would be                I’m alone, I’m a lie, less of alive, but you keep me breathing, you’re all I’m seeing

January
Turn around before you close your eyes; take a step back from the mesmerizing waterfront climbing up the edge                                                                                                                  Open up your pocket to reveal the faint, blank page that shows you how to get out of this alive Open up your closet just so that it can remind you, three more steps until the end of time                                                                     But soldier up trooper, just put on a smile
So I’ll go ahead and take a stab in the dark, walk on eggshells, sing to the stars                            If January could come faster, all my cares would go through the floor                                          I’d shine like gold, I wouldn’t ask for more
Now give me something to believe in because my hands are cold, my mouth is dry                   It’s pretty odd and I’m looking for a reason, the clock ticks and the clouds seem to fly by      With blistered toes and one left mistake, unspeakable doubts and unforgiveable shame         Grasp my hand as we approach the bend, light up our eyes and witness the end

Your Song
God, I’ll have you know I’m scared of breaking this apart, of standing alone                                                                                   She’s all that I’ve got now, all that I breathe for, and she stands alone too                                      I was selfish, I was brash, I did some things that I’m ashamed to say I ever did                         But now it’s cold and I’m scared, I’ve started now to realize that you were just trying to save me When I should’ve been trying to save you too
So take this broken girl, that’s more than a saint, stronger than stone, and rid her of pain       Show her a road home, because I can’t find pavement                                                                 I’m too weak to chase it, and too gone to stand tall                                                                             But know that I will try, if it’s not too late I swear                                                                        I’ll be singing your song center stage, I’d hope to see you there

LYRICS:
One More Year
Growing up into a fine young man entails to clean up our act and start to pay more attention to the things that I swore I’d never get myself into                                                                   Without a doubt, once singled out                                                                                              Until I met you
Eyes closed, it was 2009, and I finally got the nerve before we said goodbyes to tell you              “This is my last chance, I won’t let it pass me, I think I’m in love, so please don’t leave without me”                                                                                                                                                  Now four years down on the road, I gained some wimpy little facial hairs, but still in the same boat                                                                                                                                              With downtown’s and the radio high, living on an infinite life
Long conversations at the lighthouse on Hefner, trying to figure out what life’s got planned  Then I’d write on your back in our backseat bedroom,                                                             “You plus me ‘till the end”
So let’s get up, get gone, prove them all wrong                                                                         Until the fear in your hands meet the wings that you’ll grow                                                   When the day comes that 18 hits, keep your heart in the clouds, let your feet do the rest          And when we grow up, get lost, in the cities so cold, we’ll stand up tall and then we’ll find our way back home                                                                                                                      Because my home is that of a long list when I’ve got you girl                                         Remember this
You say I’m a dreamer and need to see clearer, but purchase a mirror, you’re just like me          So with full hearts and heads high, we’ll lock hands and we’ll fly away                                       In your ear I will say,                                                                                                                      “It takes life to love life, to fall down and still try                                                                          So get on your high horse and don’t be scared                                                                           Your place in this world compares to no other, your end undiscovered                                        So let’s get out of here”
Get up, get gone, prove them all wrong                                                                                    These streets have been our home for too long


One More Year

I swore I saw you in the parking lot, but failed to recognize your loyal look-a-like lacked speckled cheeks and brown eyes
I thought about the times we had, how I let you slip away
Believe me, back then it was easy
But now that I’m leaving, it’s you that I’m seeing
I hope that my sleeping catches up with my dreaming

So I’ll write down, word for word, our plans in the book that you placed inside of my hands
You said “I want my song between these lines, write it out and everything will be alright
I’ve got a plan and it may make your head spin
But there’s a will and a way that seems crazy said aloud
Can’t you see what you’re doing to me?
Let me have you so I can find me”

Before you ever knew me for the person you fell for and learned from, I managed to let go
This list of worn out potentials, all drawn from a pencil, managed to put back in my life a little hope

There’s nothing I can’t do, there’s nothing I can’t prove
But tell myself this, to remain selfless
There’s nothing I can’t do, there’s nothing I can’t prove

But to me, you’ll always be the girl from Still Meadows dancing in the street
Entangled arms with ‘Bad Books’ blasting the songs of you and me
The one’s that made us feel so alive, the one’s that made us see
These lines on paper, they can’t fix everything

You’ll always be the girl from Still Meadows


Still Meadows

We always waste our breath on healing what we broke and how we’re gonna mend it, 
Written rules and how we’re gonna bend them
My friends are a novelty, and I can say it for all of us
The ticking time bombs racing for the finish have nothing on us and where we’re gonna end this

We are the broken, we are the burnouts, we are the lucky ones
And while we’re on the edge of a new start, we won’t stop until we catch the sun

See past your shadow, you’re afraid to watch what you have go down the drain
I know there’s a better place for me; I know there’s a whole new world to see
But with what I’ve got I’ll make it mine, and reassess the shackles around my mind
And realize there’s a better man to be; put to paper what only we could see

It seems that we’re lost between the calamity, the reality of what’s “good enough”
Who wouldn’t have if they had seen through our eyes only
Toes bleeding, rooftop singing, shop leaving, gold everything,
Dark lakes, and mistakes that brought us home
Hopeless and dreaming, but don’t you go believing in something that’s moving too fast for you to see

Dizzy Eyes, your words fall through you
The figment of the life we once knew
The color of the broken sun that woke us up when we were younger


Dizzy Eyes

When the Atlantic called my name, I saw our lives flash right before my “I’s”
“I do’s”, “I would have’s”, if I could have, then I would’ve had more time to think this through
Because the fact that I can’t have you, I’m a ghost, under a lamp post, on my own
I never thought I’d lose the one that turned this town into a home

If her supremacy has shape, then don’t let my name get in her way
Let her hold onto, don’t let me get through
My dearest memories still play, but I wouldn’t ask for one more day
Because if this boy truly broke the mold
Please let him be what I thought I could

Be the key to you and me, before the drinks, before everything
I could barely breathe, I fell asleep
But it’s so hard not to falter when your sixth sense is picking fights with my existence
I’m terrified by all this distance; the ticking time seems so relentless
I’m broken down because what I miss is throwing rocks at picket fences that signify my broken wish list
But tell me, what the hell is the difference in me then vs. what I have become

I’ve spent all night trying to stay in between 
But with my mind, I’ve only got one heart and two left feet


Falter

Winner of USA Songwriting Contest in the Rock/Alt category 2012. 
LYRICS:
You should write this down because this is the last time I’ll say it 
I’m not a part of you any more, I don’t belong to you anymore 
Do you feel ashamed of what you’re running away from? 
While the prints are behind your feet, you run your mouth just like you’re next to me
So think it through.

She mailed the post cards to my address, I pictured her wearing that red dress over the Zeppelin t-shirt that I somehow managed to never get back
As I struggled to open the envelope, it turns out that my eyes can develop a scope
I zoomed in on the line that says “I’m leaving, and I’m not coming back.”
And you’re probably thinking I should be sad but….

Thank God that my heart’s in the ground, never once been touched, just safe and sound
Thank God that you’ve got it all wrong, know the back of my head sings the sweetest song
Thank God that you “didn’t love me”, cause honey please know, that I never loved you
I know you will be back in the morning, so just keep in mind that I was ready to end it to.

I’ve got a bone to pick with you, so light your match and let it shine through
Remember the bear that you got me for Valentine’s Day? Well I ripped his head off
As the cotton fell to the floor, I felt much better than I had been before
I felt as if a weight had been lifted off of my back as a matter of fact
And you’re probably thinkin’ I should be scared, no

Is it asking too much to start over again?
I’m not asking too much just asking to pretend that we didn’t loose it all, that it wasn’t the end
Or will I wear my poker face until then


Smile. This Song Is About You

Original song by At Long Last - Hide And Seek
Lyrics by Jordan Lindley
I didn’t think I would write this song, until I heard Asher Roth come on, and even though it hurt so bad, I typed this song from my feelings to my notepad
God knows that you’ve got a couple already, but this is yours from me so get ready its heavy
Just remember I didn’t want to write this song, but this is my remembrance of you
So long

It started with scissors, thrown across the room at me, luckily I blocked them so I could watch you laugh so gently
You and your friends would through quarters, right square in my face
You would complain when I did not hug you, and oddly enough this ended with “I need some space”

So long, farewell, It was a good time coming but a long way home
When you said that you fell for me, I thought it was the beginning of a memory
But I guess I spoke to soon, even if the best days of my life were in that June
Please won’t you stay for me?
I guess for now a friend is all I can be

Your best talent was playing hard to get, and when I didn’t play along that is something I regret
Boys would flirt with you like crazy, like your Carmen Electra
You know now that I don’t blame them, I was your varied spectrum
A floaty-like thing that was based in your heart, you were what kept me from falling apart
Now I’m falling apart

When you spoke to me and I could not speak, 
I thought of and I at the mall playing Hide and Seek
We were running through a dark and dense furniture store, we found a couch, sat down and we talked some more
So many things to talk about, yet so little time, the only thing I had on my mind was that you were mine
I didn’t realize that our time was growing thin, we were so compatible, I was so pulled in
Now all I see is that face, that beautiful grin, and you were ready to bring it all to an end
Just remember I didn’t want to write this song, but this is my remembrance of you
So long

I’LL TAKE MY CHANCES - LYRICS

Let’s take it back to the summer of the end of the world                                                             
The first thoughts would be friends, east tour, and a girl                                                                          
With sleepless nights and meaningless fights about my restless legs                                    
Stealing tents and hopping fences, wasting our heads with no time to lose                                  
Because it’s two more years until the best part of me is the past part of me and you

And it’s nights like tonight when the stars shine brighter and they spell your name                        
I think derogatorily because I know it won’t ever be the same                                              
Forever is a cinder block on string, a broken heart seems a necessity                                          
But I’m tired of losing sleep

I’m still breathing, but please rest assured                                                                                    
I’m left with an “x” amount of feelings of the nights never heard                                            
When I was torn between the heart on my sleeve, the stone cold dilemma that kept me neck deep                                                                                                                                                On the long drive home when you said you were fine                                                                 
And the songs so slow, to help you think over time                                                                     
But baby we both know we’ll never let this go                                                                            
Just keep your friends out of your ear while I keep mine out of mind

A range of four days is a long and unexpected holiday, one that you shouldn’t take                    
But if the outcome feels okay, to turn the page, to walk away                                                     
Then I’ll have no choice but to keep sad, straight glances, when I’m out the door                               
I’ll take my chances

With blank stares and sideways glances, to keep it up would be to take it for granted                 
To be the one to try and keep us afloat, but the part of me that wants it picks fights with the part of me that won’t

So carve my name in the palm of your hand, squeeze your fist until you understand that we were something special, you were one of those girls, I was your Gosling, you were my world
