EVERYTIME
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy 

Every time I see you now 
You twist up inside all you left 
From the last time
Can’t even describe how it aches 
Like the wind as I shake cause it cuts down and through me
What more could you need? 
Like it’s not enough you’ve taken all of me
I just try to breathe
Then you make me forget all you’ll never be

He still breaks my heart every time
It’s about time I kept my piece of mind
Cause he’s only here 
To help me find my bottom line 
That’s why he breaks my heart every time

Get up go get ready
Screams from my eyes
When eerie silence gets steady
It’s as if passing time with this hurt
Somehow defines all that it’s worth
Why is it only him?
With anyone else I’d never give in
I can’t figure it out
When nothing in my life is given room for doubt

He still breaks my heart every time
It’s about time I kept my piece of mind
Cause he’s only here
To help me find my bottom line
That’s why he'll break my heart every time

No armor in his way
No matter how strong I feel that day
I’m powerless all the same
Cause he’ll just find in any way

He still breaks my heart every time
It’s about time I kept my piece of mind
Cause he’s only here
To help me find my bottom line
That’s why he breaks my heart every time

EVERYTIME

WAITING ON THE BETTER DAY (BETTER DAY)
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

You say I’m acting crazy and I oblige
Lately it’s all been hazy
Trusting my eyes
There’s nothing I ain’t heard
Nothing's absurd
There’s nothing you can say to keep me from walking away
To get me to wanting to stay

Something has gotta weigh
Hoping in time my fight will pay
The trouble it takes to make or break my brightest day
Something has gotta weigh
The higher up I raise the stakes
The best is yet to come and hardest to face
So I’m waiting on the better day
I’m waiting on the better day

Some say I chose this voyage to pave the way
The rise and fall keep watching all my mistakes
But I’m not content seeing it at all that way
There’s no mistakes I’m owning all I’ve learned along the way
And I would never change the way I came

Something has gotta weigh
Hoping in time my fight will pay
The trouble it takes to make or break my brightest day
Something has gotta weigh
The higher up I raise the stakes
The best is yet to come and hardest to face
So I’m waiting on the better day
I’m waiting on the better day

Believe in your heart
I swear it’s true
Let nobody hold you back 
No one including you
Let your faith empower all you do
Your better day is waiting when you do
Your better day is waiting there for you

Something has gotta weigh
Hoping in time my fight will pay
The trouble it takes to make or break my brightest day
Something has gotta weigh
The higher up I raise the stakes
The best is yet to come and hardest to face
So I’m waiting on the better day
I’m waiting on the better day
I’m am waiting on the better day
I’ve been waiting on today

WAITING ON THE BETTER DAY

FRIEND FOR LIFE
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

Alone a while plays with your mind
And I stayed a little longer this time
Taunting the ends of my darker side
Then running right back to the light

Caught between my heart and my eyes
Scared to death when everything’s fine
I broke the seal now I can’t decide
And I need your advice
I need your advice

Oh, I take your words and I make them my home
Safe and sound not better known
Wrong or right no matter the fight
You’re a friend for life
And one like you is hard to find
One like you is hard to find

A day a month sometimes goes by
But nothing is gone between you and I
We’re free to live and live to be free
And I trust in the love that you leave for me
You’re always there for me

Oh, I take your words and I make them my home
Safe and sound not better known
Wrong or right no matter the fight
You’re a friend for life
Oh you see me there when everyone’s blind
Holding your hand out for me to find
There by my side my shield and my guide
You’re a friend for life
And one like you is hard to find
One like you is hard to find

A voice a choice is given to me
To take or leave regardless it’s free
And I may fall but I’ll land on my feet
And you’ll be there to see

Oh, I take your words and I make them my home
Safe and sound not better known
Wrong or right no matter the fight
You’re a friend for life
Oh you see me there when everyone’s blind
Holding your hand out for me to find
There by my side my shield and my guide
You’re a friend for life
And one like you is hard to find
One like you is hard to find

FRIEND FOR LIFE

I AM YOUR EVERYTHING
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

When you’re alone
And when you’re not
It’s me you’re thinking of
You’re breaking down
Feeling the loss
Of letting me get away
At your cost

Baby you’re needing me
I am your everything
You thought you could let me go
Now you know you need me to breathe
You can’t be free, till you’re home with me
Baby believe in me I am your everything

You’re living in fear
And those that your trust
Are using lies against us
They see the light
The love that we share
That they’ll never have 
So convinced you it’s not real

Baby you’re needing me
I am your everything
You thought you could let me go
Now you know you need me to breathe
You can’t be free, till you’re home with me
Baby believe in me I am your everything
Your everything

Be with me
Loving me
That’s where you wanna be
That’s where you’re meant to be

Baby you’re needing me I am your everything
Baby you’re needing me
I am your everything
You thought you could let me go
Now you know you need me to breathe
You can’t be free, till you’re home with me
Baby believe in me I am your everything

I AM YOUR EVERYTHING

I WILL LOVE YOU STILL
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy 

I can’t breathe
When you’re heavy weighing down on me
But I’ll gladly keep sustained
To give you one more day
You’ll push me away
As soon as you’re charged and can walk again
And I will smile satisfied
Having done all that I’m designed

Lay your arms all around me
And I will kiss away your broken dreams and weathered schemes
Come to me when you’re nothing more than what’s in front of me
And I will love you still, I will love you still

All I know
Is it’s worth the risk to get hurt if you learn
And you’re such a smart man
If your wounds could show
You’d be covered in them

Lay your arms all around me
And I will kiss away your broken dreams and weathered schemes
Come to me when you’re nothing more than what’s in front of me
And I will love you still, I will love you still

The beauty’s in your faults and your flaws
Vulnerability I see the compliment of
And it’s you I love

Lay your arms all around me
And I will kiss away your broken dreams and weathered schemes
Come to me when you’re nothing more than what’s in front of me
And I will love you still, I will love you still

I WILL LOVE YOU STILL

THIN LINE
©Music and Lyrics By: J. Levy

Here we go again
I’m changing the plan
To stay who I am
Being completely detached 
Has lead me where I stand
As I barely can

Cause I’m walking a thin line
And about to go through this time
It’s been weighing on me I won’t lie
As I figure it out
I’m walking a thin line
To the exit of just in time
Once or twice it has flashed my eyes
But now I see everything

I hold my breath to breathe
Hoping to be freed
Before my fears succeed
And it’s worth the fight
The hardest of my life
But I’m going all the way

I’m walking a thin line
And about to go through this time
It’s been weighing on me I won’t lie
As I figure it out
I’m walking a thin line
To the exit of just in time
Once or twice it has flashed my eyes
But now I see everything

What can I do to depend on you
When I’m so afraid to fall
And you promise it all
Trust and take control of things
Cause time is running out
And you’ll be left without

I’m walking a thin line
And about to go through this time
It’s been weighing on me I won’t lie
As I figure it out
I’m walking a thin line
To the exit of just in time
Once or twice it has flashed my eyes
But now I see everything

THIN LINE

BARELY ALIVE
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

Staring in your eyes
I don’t recognize
You feel so cold
So hard for me to hold
Where is it you’ve gone? 
So far and all alone

Oh, I just gotta be free
And you can blame it all on me
Cause I had nothing to give
And you still took all you could from me
And now you wanna be my friend
And you cried in the wake of this death
But I can’t survive in your life 
When you’re barely alive
I have to think about me

Time goes by you know
Any way you want it’s gonna go
When you focus on the pain
There’s nothing left for you to gain
You just lost your way
You’ll get it back some day

Oh, I just gotta be free
And you can blame it all on me
Cause I had nothing to give
And you still took all you could from me
And now you wanna be my friend
And you cried in the wake of this death
But I can’t survive in your life 
When you’re barely alive
I have to think about me

Holding your hand
When you can barely stand
You’re worse off
Cause you’re just a shell of a man
And I want nothing more to see you smiling again
But I’m not going down like this
You’ll forgive this choice
Once you regain your voice

I just gotta be free
And you can blame it all on me
Cause I had nothing to give
And you still took all you could from me
And now you wanna be my friend
And you cried in the wake of this death
But I can’t survive in your life 
When you’re barely alive
When you’re barely alive

BARELY ALIVE

BEST ENEMY
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

I remember all the words you said to me
And I take them back to piece together what they mean
But the truth of the matter is
Things were never as they seemed
And it’s haunting me
What could it be

I’m tangled up in your love
And you just ain’t givin it any luck
I never knew you would be
The one to hurt me endlessly
All my friends talkin about
The time is now to give you up
And I agree but you’re the best enemy

Days have been hard 
Nights too since leaving you
Your picture remains
Close enough but not in view
I hate to lose
After so long I should get to choose
But you’re not good enough for me
That’s all I see

I’m tangled up in your love
And you just ain’t givin it any luck
I never knew you would be
The one to hurt me endlessly
All my friends talkin about
The time is now to give you up
And I agree you’re the best enemy

I’m sick of you wasting time
Hoping it will all be fine
I’m thinking you’re out of line
Wanting what you know is mine
I’ve been in a loyal state far too long to be repaid
And we’re through oh we’re through
That much is true

I’m tangled up in your love
And you just ain’t givin it any luck
I never knew you would be
The one to hurt me endlessly
All my friends talkin about
The time is now to give you up
And I agree but you’re the best enemy

BEST ENEMY

MAKES NO SENSE TO ME
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

All the things I didn’t say
I just let you walk away
All I could do was stand there
Paralyzed in pain beneath the clothes I wear
And you looked back
Hoping I’d succumb to the things we lack
And I’m afraid I’ll never find you again
And the piece of my soul remains empty till then
And all I can do is wait, all I can do is wait

And it’s killing me I can’t let it be
Cause my heart is where it’s supposed to be
How do I make you see
Can’t you understand and be a man
And show you still got love for me
How do I make you see
How do I make you see
When it makes no sense to me

Why are you torturing me
What did I do that you don’t believe
Some times in life we’re given different paths
But we always end up together when it’s meant to last
And all I can do is wait, all I can do is wait

And it’s killing me I can’t let it be
Cause my heart is where it’s supposed to be
How do I make you see
Can’t you understand and be a man
And show you still got love for me
How do I make you see
How do I make you see
When it makes no sense to me

I’m sick and tired of playing this little games
Where you lead and I follow all the same
I’ve paid my dues and time is something I won’t waste
So set aside the past and see what’s in your face
All I can do is wait, all I can do is wait

And it’s killing me I can’t let it be
Cause my heart is where it’s supposed to be
How do I make you see
Can’t you understand and be a man
And show you still got love for me
How do I make you see
How do I make you see
When it makes no sense to me

MAKES NO SENSE TO ME

STUCK ON YOU
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy

Somebody special is taking his time
And I keep holding on
Some days are hard
And I’m getting restless
Wondering if he’s ever gonna come
When my friends are in love 
Starting forever

And I’m stuck on you
Still the past making this memory last 
I try to let you go
But deep down I know
That you can’t be replaced
You’re my once in a lifetime special case
And I’m stuck on your love
I’m stuck on your love

I see you
You see me too
The one thing your best efforts can’t dispute
You let me in 
I guess the wall you built
Was paper thin
Cause my heart tore right in
And we’ve all been hurt before
Enough to be sure

That I’m stuck on you
Still the past making this memory last 
I try to let you go
But deep down I know
That you can’t be replaced
You’re my once in a lifetime special case
And I’m stuck on your love
I’m stuck on your love

When you’re loving me needing me
Begging me pleasing me
Having me aggressively 
Awaking my body 
Hopelessly forever be
What I need when I need
Endlessly all in me moving me
Taking me all

And I’m stuck on you
Still the past making this memory last 
I try to let you go
But deep down I know
That you can’t be replaced
You’re my once in a lifetime special case
And I’m stuck on your love
I’m stuck on your love

STUCK ON YOU

A MYSTERY
©Music &Lyrics By: J. Levy, S. Free

You’re a mystery 
I tried opening
I leapt at your deceit
And knocked the wind out of me
You see that I can’t breathe
But you don’t try saving me

Say you’re in it for love
Time’s up I’ve had enough
Together or apart
A mystery that’s breaking my heart

You’re so hard to read
You say things you don’t mean
You smile when lie
You laugh when you should cry
And I can’t figure it out
It leaves me filled with doubt

Say you’re in it for love
Time’s up I’ve had enough
Together or apart
A mystery that’s breaking my heart

Say you’re in it for love
Time’s up I’ve had enough
Together or apart
A mystery that’s breaking my heart

A MYSTERY

SUNSHINE IN THE NIGHT
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy, S.Free

La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la

I see clear
Even when he’s not here, he is
Our love goes beyond and above our days

Like sunshine in the night
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na naah
Like sunshine in the night

He’s a dream 
So much more than he seems he is real
He’ll laugh and I forget where I’m at, he’s light

Like sunshine in the night
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na naah
Like sunshine in the night

He knows the way to make me me
He gives me my security
He’ll never break my heart
Or leave me in the dark

Like sunshine in the night
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na, na na
Na na na na na naah
Like sunshine in the night

SUNSHINE IN THE NIGHT

SPARKS ARE FLYING
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy, S. Free

In the pale of light
Shadows of my world surround you 
Now you know you have my heart
I listen as you breathe
You’re looking up adoring at me
Making me believe

Walls could come crashing down
We’re together who cares about 
The when the why or how
Sparks are flying
You and I, we'll light up the sky

People call us crazy
They watch us as we walk by
They don’t need to understand
We are stopping traffic
Holding hands and laughing
Our hearts are in the clouds

Walls could come crashing down
We’re together who cares about 
The when the why or how
Sparks are flying
You and I

Stronger than the fire
Winds are soaring higher off the ground
Never will be broken
Every word that’s spoken
Surrounds us now
Wonderful forever
We will be together for all time
Starting tonight

Walls could come crashing down
We’re together who cares about 
The when the why or how
Sparks are flying
You and I, we'll light up the sky

SPARKS ARE FLYING

BADASS
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy, S. Free

I would like to say a few words
Something’s weighing on my mind
It’s become the perfect time
You think you’re badass
You think I’m waiting around
But I’m not, I’m not

I met a lot of you’s before
And I left a lot of you’s
I guess you’ll one more
You think you’re badass
You think I’m waiting around
But I’m not, I’m not

Cause I’m having too much fun
Living my own life
Till the sun comes up
I wish you knew me better
You don’t have a clue
I won’t pretend you do
No I won’t 
(doing my own thing, I don’t need nobody)

You call to break plans
I don’t give a damn
You say you’re running late
I’m out on the town
You think you’re badass
You think I’m waiting around 
But I’m not, I’m not

Cause I’m having too much fun
Living my own life
Till the sun comes up
I wish you knew me better
You don’t have a clue
I won’t pretend you do
No I won’t 

Doing my own thing, I don’t need nobody 
(I’ll be)
Doing my own thing, I don’t need nobody
(nobody nobody)
Doing my own thing, I don’t need nobody

Cause I’m having too much fun
Living my own life
Till the sun comes up
I wish you knew me better
You don’t have a clue
I won’t pretend you do
No I won’t

BEING ME
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy, S. Free

I can lift you up
I can make you feel safe
I’m a hot bath after a long day
I’m ready for anything
I wear heels 
I can rock sweats
Dress up from head to toe
Better than anyone, you know
I like it that way

It’s all done effortlessly
Cause I’m me
And I’m free to be
All I am is all I have 
And all I’ll ever need
And it’s so much fun, so much fun
Being me

I can rule the world
On an hour sleep
Do a million things
I don’t miss a beat
I’m ready for anything 
I can lend an ear
I can mediate 
Using my wise words
I can turn a phrase, any way
I like it that way

It’s all done effortlessly
Cause I’m me
And I’m free to be
All I am is all I have 
And all I’ll ever need
And it’s so much fun, so much fun
Being me

HIM HER OR YOU
©Music & Lyrics By: J. Levy, S. Free

Take a step in a new direction
Been held back by a false perception
Taking what I need and I’m moving on
From what I thought I knew
What I’ve been used to
Screw this comfort zone
Without a view

I’m not just him her or you
Got myself to prove
Armed with the toughest of love
Let’s see what I’m made of
There's fear in the unknown
But I’m more afraid of knowing
Exactly where I’m going

I’m not him her or you
Na na na na na na na na
I’m not him her or you
Na na na na na na na na na

Pressures on since I decided
Feeling strong getting excited
Looking forward now
To movin on
From what I thought I knew
What I’ve been used to
Screw this comfort zone
Without a view

I’m not just him her or you
Got myself to prove
Armed with the toughest of love
Let’s see what I’m made of
There's fear in the unknown
But I’m more afraid of knowing
Exactly where I’m going

I’m not him her or you
Na na na na na na na na
I’m not him her or you
Na na na na na na na na na

Feel the pressure, pressure
Coming over me
Brutal pressure
But I keep on keep on keep on keeping on

I’m not just him her or you
Got myself to prove
Armed with the toughest of love
Let’s see what I’m made of
There's fear in the unknown
But I’m more afraid of knowing
Exactly where I’m going

I’m not him her or you
Na na na na na na na na
I’m not him her or you
Na na na na na na na na na

Him Her Or You
