LYRICS

I’ve wandered off from here to Houston
Looking for a place that I can call my own

The city fit right for a while
Like a glove lost in the melted snow

How that road just opens right up
When you have nowhere that you feel you belong

A certain type of weightless freedom
Melancholy bittersweet unknown

I know time won’t lie
When I’m moving on
But I don’t want to say goodbye
To these pieces of you
That I carry on

I may not be here tomorrow
But I’ll be somewhere that I will call my home

The road it lays out all around me
With her I will never be alone

Sometimes I do question if i’m running
Or if this whole world is flying by

But I’m saving that familiar sorrow
For the by and by
And for now I’ll keep my eyes
On the right side of that double center line

I know time won’t lie
When I’m moving on
But I don’t want to say goodbye
To these pieces of you
That I carry on

I know time won’t lie
When I’m moving on
But I don’t want to say goodbye
To these pieces of you
That I carry on

To these pieces of us
That I carry on

Highways

Denitia - "All the Sweet Tea"

written by Denitia and Brad Allen Williams
produced by Brad Allen Williams
recorded at The Bunker, Brooklyn, NY

Time is ticking 
Like it always does
It flies right by
Right over us

There is nothing 
You can do to quell
To stop that girl 
From running like hell 


All the sweet tea in Carolina
All the sun that comes to dry up all the rain
All the mountain peaks in colorado
They’re waiting there and
Calling out our names


What I’ve been missin
Is your tender touch
If I’ve got you
Then I have enough

Don’t wanna waste it
All these precious nights
We never know the day
When we’re gonna fly


All the sweet tea in Carolina
All the sun that comes to dry up all the rain
All the mountain peaks in colorado
They’re waiting there and
Calling out our names


All the sweet tea in Carolina
All the sun that comes to dry up all the rain
All the mountain peaks in colorado
They’re waiting there and
Calling out our names

All The Sweet Tea

Denitia - "White Lights"

Written by Denitia and Brad Allen Williams
Produced and Mixed by Brad Allen Williams

From the upcoming album "Highways"
www.denitia.com


Waiting for you in the rain
You pull up in your 4 seat
Let’s drive a 2 lane in the dark

There’s a look on your face
Oh I swear it’s kinda holy
You make me wanna stay 
Where you are

Well it’s bright when you smile
Like my name written in the stars
And the world doesn’t turn
When we’re apart

Why die to fly to heaven?
Why die when I’m already gone?
White lights
In your eyes heaven
I’m already gone

Had my turn of hard luck 
Trying to be more than a body
But I’m trading it for good with you now

I was a 1 girl town
Never knew that I was lonely
There was a you-shaped hole in my life

Well it’s bright when you smile
Like my name written in the stars
And the world doesn’t turn
When we’re apart

Why die to fly to heaven?
Why die when I’m already gone?
White lights
In your eyes heaven
I’m already gone

So I wait and I’m patient 
For the moment that you come and take me
I could fall real safely
Into you

Why die to fly to heaven?
Why die when i’m already gone?
White lights
In your eyes heaven
I’m already gone

White Lights

The Good Times

Need to Be Needed

Back to You

Don't Let Me Go

Wild Light

Holding on to You

Ready To Fall

I Don't Get High

Anywhere You Could Run

I Won't Look Back

On Your Mind

Denitia - "Never Told You"
Written, produced, and performed by Denitia.
Mixed and Mastered by JKriv.

Lyrics:

I never told you before
It didn’t feel right 
So I never told you

I’ve never known it before
Knowing what I got
Cause I’d never known you

I’ve been standing in a line
I waited for you too long
Never knew what to ask for
Water sun now we gon’ grow
Say you’ll stay 

I spent so much time up before
Living out of size
I knew I was larger

Seemed like a wasting before
Knowing how I tried
But now I’m the wiser

I spend all my days now 
Penning all my songs 
The way I’m supposed to 

And I believe now
It was dark for a while
But I found my way out 

I’ve been standing in your line
I waited for you too long
Never knew what to ask for
Water sun now we gon’ grow
Say you’ll stay

One day I’ll make it ‘fore too long
Carry the weight of these songs
Good things come to those who ask for 
A change, and make a way

Make a way, Make a way

Never Told You

I just dropped a vocal pack on Splice.com! I made this demo using only drum loops and sounds from my pack. 

I had a blast creating pads, hooks, adlibs, and pitched sounds exclusive for Splice. Its dreamy, melodic, and a little bit intergalactic. Need some fresh colors for your beats and tracks?

Download my vocals at http://on.splice.com/denitia-sample-pack

Have fun and I can't wait to see what y'all create. 

Love,

D

'Dream Soul' Splice Vocal Pack Demo

One Day 

written and performed by Denitia 
produced by Mike Irish 
at Shifted Recording, Greenpoint, BK, NYC


One Day
pourin’ all your dreams into a cup 
every morning when you wake 
you wonder how forever 
you’re gonna wander here 

one foot on the line you look up 
wonder where the time really goes 
could we be entirely untethered 
predictable as weather 

baby this time squeeze me harder 
don’t save me 
i think all that matters is maybe 
we’re more than a matter of time 

wherever I go 
there’s nowhere that I can’t go 
there’s nowhere we’re going that’s too slow 
we’re more than a matter of time 

you spend too many nights hangin’ it up 
trading who you are for what they wanted 
i know that you’ve been tired 
but dreaming is the fire that you started 

baby this time squeeze me harder 
don’t save me 
i think all that matters is maybe 
we’re more than a matter of time 

wherever I go 
there’s nowhere that I can’t go 
there’s nowhere we’re going that’s too slow 
we’re more than a matter of time 

one day never comes 
you should get what you want 
‘cause what if you don’t 
and we never move on 
and we’re frozen in space 
and life takes the pace 
and it leaves us behind?

"Forever"

written and performed by Denitia
produced by Sean McVerry and Denitia
art by Eduardo Palma 

Lyrics: 

All we are 
Is all we are
What time has brought
And time dissolved
No more

A sullen heart
Is opened up 
Under a fire
Flowers under
The sun

I am a river
You are the ocean
We go together
We could just flow in
Take what you see here
Leave me a token
Nothing’s forever
As long as we know it

We don’t belong 
Under neon
The moon and tide
Wait for us
Too long

I am a river
You are the ocean
We go together
We could just flow in
Take what you see here
Leave me a token
Nothing’s forever
As long as we know it

Call me up 
In morning light
When we’re apart
I wonder why
We are

I am a river
You are the ocean
We go together
We could just flow in
Take what you see here
Leave me a token
Nothing’s forever
As long as we know it

Forever

Denitia - Skin and Bones 

written by Denitia and Adam Agin
Produced by Denitia, Post-Production by Mike Irish
Mixed and Mastered by Mike Irish at Shifted Recording
Art by Eduardo Palma

We are driven to achieve and go nonstop, it runs us ragged. Living so much in our heads, trying so hard to be something. But we are only human, we’ll never be perfect and there can be so much relief in that.

Lyrics:
(D. Odigie, A. Agin)

You say you won’t
Say you will
You’re crawling straight
You’re climbing hills
You work so hard
But nothing’s left
For how long
For how long

We are only
Skin and bones
We’ve got a ways to go
We’ve got a ways to go
When we wander
With our eyes closed
We’ve got a ways to go
We’ve got a ways to go

Chasing your heart
You’ve come so far
Only to find
It’s where you are
You’ve said so much
But you’re never sure
For how long
For how long

We are only
Skin and bones
We’ve got a ways to go
We’ve got a ways to go
When we wander
With our eyes closed
We’ve got a ways to go
We’ve got a ways to go

Lord knows how we try
To be right
To keep our eyes
On all the things that we wanted
Finish what we started

And these tears
We cry
They dry
And we’re further from
The place where we started
So we’ll be all right

We are only
Skin and bones
We’ve got a ways to go
We’ve got a ways to go

Skin and Bones

Place to Be 
(D. Odigie)

we hush our mouths
or say it louder
there's a language 
we're looking for
but i can't endure
this way
oh the truth is that i can't stay

it’s obvious how we gonna work this out
it’s a wonder how we're gonna go without 

you talk with your eyes
but you're the reason i've gone blind

wonder if it’s the moon that’s shaping
or if it’s just been shaking me
oh to be the one that's breaking
to be the one without a place to be

get around it
we swore in time we could
get it right
and save us from ourselves
but you talk to me now from the street
such hard lines in between

you and me now that we are vacant
strangers oh to who we used to be
oh and i'm the one that's breaking
i'm the one without a place to be

and i can't bear to
let you find me out
find me out 
find me out 
can't find me out 

i wonder if it’s all we make it
or if it’s just who we were meant to be
oh when i'm the one who's breaking 
oh I’m the one without a place to be  

and i can't bear to
let you find me out
find me out 
find me out 
can't find me out
