lyrics:

why do i keep coming back to this?
it's like a book I can't quite figure out
so I read it in pieces
sometimes it hurts
gotta set it down for a bit
but I always come back to this

why do I keep running into this?
every time I make a wrong turn
I end up on your doorstep
sometimes it hurts
gotta step away for a bit
but I always come back to this

I always come back to this

and maybe I'm stupid
for thinking the world might end
and maybe I'm stupid
for thinking you'd be with me when it did
and maybe you'd be better off
if you never saw me again
again

but god damn I keep coming back to this
I've tried to understand
but I can't make it make sense
maybe its time to just
kind of go with it

cause even if it's not now
I will end up here somehow
it's physics or it's fate and I can't stop it
I always come back to this
I always come back to this

physics or fate (voice memo)

I should probably drink more water
I should probably fix my posture
And my two pills a night
Feel like too much and not enough
I'm just trying to be a good daughter
In Vermont I feel like I'm an imposter
My drawbridge is coming down
And this heatwave is burning me up

The right side of my bed
Feels better than the left
And I feel like the worst
If I'm not the best
I keep burning my own bridge
Whether I lose or win
I'll always wish
I had more to give

If only I wasn't such a flight risk
If only I could settle down and mean it
Is this emptiness what people call their twenties?
No I'm not afraid of bruising
But I'm a coward in the face of losing
"Fuck a quitter"
Says a wanna be winner
Who can't stop running

The right side of my head
Feels better than the left
And I should let this go
But I haven't yet
I keep burning my own bridge
Whether I lose or win
I'll always wish
I had more to give

Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh

More to Give

wrote this song from the perspective of joel in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind :) new favorite movie

lyrics:

i'm watching everything go sideways
and i can't do a thing to make it stop
i won't remember this tomorrow
but i'll be sad when i wake up

i wish we were back in your apartment
i want you to sing me to sleep
i'll forget my wallet so i'll have to come back
and you won't forget me

thought it was only fair
but i swear i didn't think it through this far
you chose this first
so i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
i don't want to see this part

i'm watching everything go sideways
feels like someone's messing with my head
i'm not prepared to never know you again
i'm sorry, can we stop this instead?

thought it was only fair
but i swear i didn't think it through this far
you chose this first
so i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
i don't want to see this part

when this is over
i'll never know that
i ever missed you at all
i'll be a stranger and
you will be kissing somebody
that i don't know
i'll take the train to the beach
and i'll sit on the sand
and i'll never know
i had a life before this
i don't want this

thought it was only fair
but i swear i didn't think it through this far
you chose this first
so i didn't think it'd hit me quite this hard
i don't want to see this part

I sat down with Stephanie Leishman to talk through her journey with breast cancer. It has been 10 years since her diagnosis and to say she has learnt a lot is an understatement. 

Stephanie has managed to turn what was initially a scary and stressful experience into something she now takes inspiration from. 

She hopes to use this inspiration to raise awareness and inform woman going their own cancer journeys.

rlly proud of this one :)

lyrics:
i couldn't stand in a room with you
and not think about that night
i had to cross the street if we were
walking on the same side
it just hurt too much
too many reminders that i messed things up
but now
we're okay again

i had to block you on instagram
so i wouldn't feel impatient
i had to stop myself at least once a day
from thinking how her haircut makes us look the same and
it hurt a bunch
too many reminders that i messed things up
but now
we're okay again

i've been taking my time not tryna get high with all the wrong people
we've been growing apart but i guess that's what happens to some people
and i know we're not friends but i'll always be here if you need people
i'm just glad that we're okay again

we had a party at our place
and you showed up with your best friends
it wasn't weird it wasn't awkward
it was just like seeing an old friend
after 4 whole months
i don't remember ever seeing you so happy
i guess we knew it wasn't meant to be us

it's been 4 whole months
i don't remember ever being this happy
i guess we knew it wasn't meant to be us

i've been taking my time not tryna get high with all the wrong people
we've been growing apart but i guess that's what happens to some people
and i know we're not friends but i'll always be here if you need people
i'm just glad that we're okay again

okay again (voice memo)

here's a little song I wrote a year ago - it's about the grief of missing somebody you can no longer love.

lyrics:

v1:
It’s morning in your eyes
so my nights, they don’t need the light
your seasons take their sweet time
still, my bedroom’s perfumed of last july
and I’d be fine, someday soon
if only he were you

 v2:
he lets me take my time 
and I let him take you off my mind 
I don’t reach for you in shifting paradigms
yet, I search for you in his eyes
and I’d be fine, someday soon
if only he were you

bridge:
when you were with me
when I was sixteen
and tangled in you
oh, let me just stay here
I’ll pack up and leave soon
I swear I’ll forget you
just let me stay here, my dear

v3/outro:
‘cause it’s morning in your eyes 
and my nights are needing the light

if only he were you - (demo)

covered one of my all time favorite songs ever... hope u like it :)
