To My Youth

lose myself

new song out now!
hope you guys enjoy

lyrics:

There's so much that I wanna do but there's so little time 
Falling sand, the hourglass and all thats left behind 
It's all too much trying to find the reasons why
I fall out of touch with this feelings on my mind 

Take me back to when i was younger, when the world was filled with hope and wonder oh I can see it all so clear 
With the sunrise in early september, petal bikes and some worn out leather we would go anywhere
Anywhere but here

Did you think we'd grow up like we did?
We once were little kids then everything changed, it don't feel the same
Guess i'm feeling a little paralyzed being half past 25 and everything's changed
Everything's changed

How many times can i try to take it slow?
How many friends did i have to let go of?
It's been a minute and i'm itching for my phone
Keeping my composure that's unheard of
I can feel the pressure growing on me and i can't help my anxiety
There's no other way, i fall from grace all of the time

So take me back to when i was younger, when the world was filled with hope and wonder oh I can see it all so clear 
With the sunrise in early september, petal bikes and some worn out leather we would go anywhere
Anywhere but here

Did you think we'd grow up like we did?
We once were little kids then everything changed, it don't feel the same
Guess i'm feeling a little paralyzed being half past 25 and everything's changed
Everything's changed

everything's changed

a song i wrote this week
lyrics: 
What a fool am I 
to go on without you 
and just lay my heart on the line 
who am i 

its a shame we don’t talk 
i heard you got older and you found your way on this floating rock
like me

but people are changing everyday 
i might’ve known you in different ways
the chance has come and gone and now i’m still missing you 

for tonight i am whole 
but theres so much inside that i’ll never know 
its a free fall
into nothing 

don’t just wait on me now 
you don’t need a reason you don’t need a how 
its how it was 
and how it’ll be 

and we’ll keep on changing endlessly
shadows may haunt us below our feet 
as long as theres stars in the sky 
you’ll mean something to me

fool

looking glass

'one you want' out now on streaming platforms
socials: @carterwmusic

lyrics: 

well i can be the one that you want
no more crying in the rain
and if you get the urge, come knocking baby i'm so hurt and i
need someone to ease the pain

she's living out on the west side
she's got a job on bourbon street
and i wonder if she ever gets lonely
would she ever want a guy like me?
could she ever use a guy like me cause

i can be the one that you want
no more crying in the rain
and if you get the urge, come knocking baby i'm so hurt and i
need someone to ease the pain

this ain't a love song
i'm just calling out your name
i don't really do this
but for you i'll take the blame 
i don't think that you're the one
and you feel the same 

but i can be the one that you want
no more crying in the rain 
how did i get the nerve
to come knocking baby i'm so hurt and i
need someone to ease the pain yeah


one you want

lyrics: 
We got a lot of issues
We jump right back and forth 
You hate my guts, I say some things I don't mean anymore
It's not like that's unusual
To be part of such a mess
It may not seem like it now but I think you're the best

Cause fighting only gets you so far
And it ain't really far
Isn't it a damn shame
We're throwing pebbles slowly in the dark
But there's a light in your heart
And in your name

So after all I still love you 
Either way, either way
Yeah after all I still need you 
Either way, either way yeah

I know i'm not a prophet but i've been here before
I've seen the ways that life can turn a love into a chore
And it's so hard to say it
And they don't keep in score
I can't shed the weight of it
And you're not keen on taking it

Cause fighting only gets you so far
But it ain't really far
Isn't it a damn shame
We're throwing pebbles slowly in the dark
But there's a light on your heart
And in your name

So after all I still love you 
Either way, either way
Yeah after all I still need you 
Either way, either way yeah

So after all I still love you 
Either way, either way
Yeah after all I still need you 
Either way, either way yeah

either way

lyrics:
(Hook)
Runaway child that's who I am yeah
I'm praying I'm praying for a godsend
Cause this world is spinning 
And my mind begins to overflow, overflow
Runaway child that's who I am yeah 

Baby I've been flying lately
My head in the sky now 
I'm so declarated
Fuck what they be saying 
My shits underrated 
I do this for fun yeah 
This my safe haven

And I may never come down now now 
Got my feet running on the ground, ground, ground
Tell my mama that I'm safe and sound, sound , sound 
And I won't stop and I won't stop 
Cause imma 

(Hook)

Time keeps moving and I can't slow down 
Look at all these thoughts spinning round and round
If they wanna talk about it let em talk about it 
But I'm living good so I'm all about it 

And you know that I'm out here waiting for the sun to shine yeah yeah yeah 
As soon as I touch the ground imma be taking flight yeah
Cause imma 

(Hook) x2

lyrics:
You took it nice and slow when you walked out the door
I won't be seeing that face no more (no more)
But it was just a dream, yeah so it seems
I got lost in what we used to be (be)

And I know that things change, we will go our separate ways
But you still call on me and I don't know what to say

CHORUS 
Well I don't wanna know "Yeah how you been?" 
But I don't wanna know just how you been
Well I don't wanna know "Yeah how you been?"
But I don't wanna know just how you been
Ohhhh
Everything we did yeah it didn't make sense
I was trying to get you out of my own head
Remember those times when we kept it low key
And it was all cool cause you didn't know me
On the verge of love pushing number 17
I was in my heart trying to make it for the queen
But those days seem so distant now

And I know that things change, we will go our separate ways
But you still call on me, and I don't know what to say

lyrics: 

all these lies are taking a toll on me
you still believe everything is meant to be
but this is slowing down so we throw away the dream
gotta let go somehow just to be free

I've been a mess by myself 
seems like theres nobody else
but our time was up

I feel the rain falling down 
my world seems so different now
but I don't wanna do another run around with u 

HOOK:
so i'll still see you, in my dreams tonight
thinking of the memories that we made for life
and everything that we did was all wrong
I be thinking bout you till the morning gone
yeah I'll still see you, in my dreams tonight

all my sins are coming right back to me
i'm not the only one to believe in destiny
we grew apart and we threw away the key
you gotta let it go, just to be free

maybe we weren't just enough
I tried to give you my love
but you turned away

I still feel rain coming down
how come you're so different now
and I don't even recognize you anymore

lyrics:
(chorus)
talk is cheap i don't really listen
talk is cheap i don't really listen
just another man on a mission
talk is cheap i don't really listen

see i've heard it all before you running your mouth with the same old shit and no way out
i don't wanna hear about how your funds been lately 
you're the type of person that drives me crazy

you're opinion doesn't matter to me aye
insecure as far as i can see aye
i wear my heart right upon my sleeve yeah
so they can see what i really believe 

(chorus)x2 

well get over yourself , you need some type of help
posing on instagram acting like you're the man
and bitch this ain't your season, i said that for a reason
i've been getting my trees in and someday i'll be leaving
and i don't mean to put anyone down down down
but i think that your ego should calm down down down
and i don't really fuck with people like you now now you know

(chorus) x2

I got a little drunk last night baby

nothing ever gets me so high

going through the motions 
know you're feeling worthless baby baby
i just wanna be with you
let me have your heart too
baby baby

(hook)
cause I don't wanna be just another one of your lovers
so let me take you by the hand and show you that i want ya
love like this comes from your kiss and i fall deeper again
cause i don't wanna be just another one of your lovers

lyrics:

i'm diving underwater since you left me in the dirt
still trying to be honest sometimes that shit just don't work
cause anxiety gets the best of me when i'm tryna sleep wide awake thinkin about my mistakes, how can i be someone if i ain't someone no more

[chorus]
tell me am i good enough for this life that i'm living? start to feel like i'm seeing double vision cause i don't wanna be alone
no i don't wanna be alone
good enough for this life that we're living 
can't you hear can't you feel what i'm feeling
cause we don't wanna be alone
i don't wanna be alone

still feel like i lose myself like i'm driving on the edge
it takes time for me to move on from the things that i regret
cause i lose my inhibition when i think about it i've been tryna work it out and forget about it but you take me all the way down

[chorus]

Alone (prod. by CaRter)

letdown

lonely high

just a demo that's been sitting on my computer forever

workin' on

hope you guys like this one :) 

lyrics: 
maybe i'll find a love again
but until that time, i'll be in my mind
thinking how is it to feel again, cause i gave it all
just to watch it fall baby don't you know

could it be i'm so tired of going out, no desire
there's so much strangers in this room
so i ask myself what i'm doing here
answer is it's never been that clear 
i don't belong in this room

but i'm drunk right now on jasper avenue 
and i don't wanna hear, wanna hear that you miss me
there ain't no other way to make it all dissapear
so i don't wanna hear, wanna hear that you miss me
cause dammit i miss you too
i miss you too, i miss you too, i miss you too...

and are you sitting at home by yourself?
or are you just like me wondering through hell
doing anything to never face the truth
like i loved you so, and i still do

could it be we got tired of picking fights down to the wire
now i'm alone in this room
so i ask myself what i'm doing here
answer is it's never been that clear
i don't belong in this room

(chorus)

and i don't have an answer yet
it feels like poison and regret
all of the things left to say 
all of the times we've brushed away 
yeah i'm hurting, yeah i'm hurting...

(chorus) x2

Jasper Avenue

lyrics:
Walking on the sidewalk of my life, paths that leave me high and dry
Left and right but even if it sways me, no i'll try 
To find a light inside (Inside yeah)

Fighting with my head for no reason
I know you don't believe it when you say you don't have meaning 
It's bigger than all of us 
And I could never give it up 
I know that i've been wrong a couple times on the ride but i'm still 

Walking on the sidewalk of my life, paths that leave me high and dry
Left and right but even if it sways me, no i'll try 
To find a light inside (Inside yeah)

For my own good, please know that I never would
Turn my back and throw it all away 
Just to see it blow up in my face 
Yeah too much of my time has been spent
Waiting on my life to make sense
Even if i don't know the end i'm 

Walking on the sidewalk of my life, paths that leave me high and dry
Left and right but even if it sways me, no i'll try 
To find a light inside (Inside yeah)

Walking on the sidewalk of my life, paths that leave me high and dry
Left and right but even if it sways me, no i'll try 
To find a light inside (Inside yeah)
