Tropical sunset is my debut single as Camellia Grove, and is about a young couple going on vacation in a last ditch effort to save their relationship. Despite the narrator's best efforts, the sun sets on his chances at rekindling love as he grapples with alcoholism.

Lyrics:

Club drinks and cab ride
I've played my cards right
Red blooded feminine
Sparks and adrenaline
Nothing to question
No second guessing
And when my hands are free
I'll turn the lock and key
And in my right mind
I'd spell my only rule
I won't fall in love
I won't fall in love
With you
With you

They say that one night
Don't mean a thing, right?
But when you cover me
It's what comes over me
The high were chasing
Two pulses racing
And when you're over me
You might be a ghost to me
And from my minds eye
I'll hide my only rule
I won't fall in love
I won't fall in love
With you
With you
I won't fall in love
I won't fall in love
With you
With you
I won't fall in love
I won't fall in love
With you
With you
I won't fall in love
I won't fall in love
With you
With you

Hey, say ahh
Hey, say ahh

Daylight is dawning
Curtains are calling
And as you cuff your sleeves
I'll ask you to stay, to eat
Cuz let's just face it
I broke my only rule
I have fell in love
I have fell in love
With you
With you
I have fell in love
I have fell in love
With you
With you

My Only Rule

Reborn! is my third and final single of the year as Camellia Grove. The song is about coming alive again after leaving a toxic relationship.

Lyrics:

Alone in your eyes
You smile at me
But is the affection
Lipgloss on a screen
Yeah, no
You take me a fool
Laughing like you do
In your heart of darkness
Look within to tell me
Goodbye

We will be reborn
We’ll someday be reborn

Alone in your lies
You hide the lede
I still close my eyes
And you’re all that I see
Yeah
You take me a fool
Laughing like you do
In your heart of darkness
Look within to tell me
I know it may hurt now
But I think I’m ready

We will be reborn
We will be reborn
We will be reborn
We’ll someday be reborn

You’re holding me close
And pulling too tight
I think I won’t last
To stay here all night

You ain’t my body’s keeper
This time my soul is eager
I’ve seen the writing on the wall
In you my faith was taken
Trap doors you’ve laid are breaking
Tiptoe those legs from tracing
On the edge or we both fall oh!

We will be reborn
If only for a day
We will be reborn
True love will find a way
We will be reborn
I hope you got a clue
We will be reborn
My love was yours to lose
