I met a man 
He's not like me
He's sweet and he's kind and good and doesn't need to try to be 
I met a man who makes my heart beat loudly
I don't know if he'll like me once he knows me

Baby can you believe he loves you?
Not for what you offer
Or for what you look like
Darling
Can you believe he found you?
Wants to sit beside you?
Little girl don't you worry now 
One day you'll be finding your best friend

I met a man 
Who keeps my secrets safe
Tells me everyday he sees the good in who I am
I met a man who kisses the creases of my heart
His hands know all my scars and dimples and wrinkles and marks
 
Baby can you believe he loves you?
Not for what you offer
Or for what you look like
Darling
Can you believe he found you?
Wants to sit beside you?
Little girl don't you worry now 
One day you'll be finding your best friend

Don't you worry about us 
Look at where we are 
I know that it was hard
Keep on holding on
There's healing in the hoping
You are not too broken
Don't you leave me now dear
You are not forsaken 
And she won't be your breaker 
Keep on holding on now
Your family is waiting
And I know that you can make it 
You don't ever have to go alone

I Met A Man

Isn’t it wild many months ago
I was just me and you were you
God was working overtime
now I am yours and you are mine

The chaos and the calm
Not sure how these combine

Cause my mind runs a million miles a minute 
But with you I just stop and sit in it 
You slow me down
You love me really really
Oh really you do

Isn’t it strange, that we met?
Oceans apart in place and time 
Different spaces, your past and mine 
parallels now intertwined 

The ebb and the flow
Letting God and letting go

When the doubts hit you deep and slowly seep in
My arms are the only ones you’re seeking
My heart’s your home
I love you really really 
Oh really I do 

We could blame the fates and the stars
The alignment of Jupiter and Mars
Chalk it up to coincidence
Or something unbeknownst to us
But something as good as you
There can only be one truth
Baby you were heaven-sent 
You for me and me for you

Cause my mind runs a million miles a minute 
But with you I just stop and sit in it 
You slow me down
You love me really really
I love you really really 
You love me really really
Oh really you do

Really Really

24 and 27 
Boy meets girl, girl meets heaven 
Our first kiss and arcade dates 
Whispered question won’t you stay?

I’ve never known love like this before 
Wild and calm / strong and sure
In the book of my life  
You are underscored 
All of my days are yours 

24 and 28
13th and 4th debate 
A child’s honest review 
You’re more fun but I’m funnier than you 

Wherever you go
I'll follow you there
Wherever you lead, I'm with you
No matter where life takes you and I 
I know one simple truth

25 and 28
We stand here in this place 
Tied together with a golden thread 
Your heart is where I lay my head

Underscored

I’m not eloquent 
I don’t always think before I speak
I don’t know how to talk to you in front of a crowd
And I’m not shy or retiring
But I like to be alone
And I got issues in my mind
But you see in my inside
Please don’t leave me alone 

I know I’m a frantic girl 
I think in poetry and notes
And I don’t know how to be 
Anything but intensity 
I know I’m a contradictory 
opposites contract in me
Anxiety
Paranoia sneaking up on me

I know I’m just too much
and maybe I’m not enough 
in my dreams the backs remain 
one face is all I need
You don’t have to understand
you just have to hold my hand
tightly
Oh please come find me

Come find me

Frantic Girl

July days learning new ways to say hello
Time sipping by blending into unknown 
you play your games while you spark my heart
telling gestural stories with handworks of art
voice across oceans, intimate mo
ments 
stretching out whispered goodbyes

California boy 
Never seen blue 
before you

August nights learning new ways to say don’t go
Sighs of goodbyes winding down the phone 
guess I knew better but fools rush into the hope
all the while knowing the shoe is about to drop 
voice across oceans, we became po-
ets 
this is where love came to die 

California boy 
Never seen blue 
before you

We knew we couldn’t get off the ground 
But we jumped down the cliff side into the sky
In the hopes
That people could fly

We knew we couldn’t get off the ground 
But we jumped down the cliff side into the sky
In the hopes
That people could fly

California boy 
Never seen blue 
before you

California Boy

If you’d told me five years ago
I’d be where we are
I’d tell you you’re crazy
You got the wrong lady 
My future’s set in stone

If you’d told me three years ago 
I’d meet the one I’d want
Get down on one knee 
And say will you please?
I’d think you knew my heart 

I wanna dance down mountains backwards with you 
Sing badly on road trips and laugh when we sing lyrics wrong 
Build snowmans and sandbabies under the sun
drink tea when we’re old and grey
I’ll dance because it’s with you
Oh darling please won’t you stay?

If you’d told me four years ago
I’d travel the world with you
I’d be so surprised
Could never had surmised
I’d meet a man like you

If you’d told me two years ago
I’d be bringing you home
Come meet my mother 
I don’t want another
They’ll love you like their own

You make me braver
You make me stronger 
You make me better 
than I’ve ever been before
You make me peaceful
You make my heart full
You make me gentle
You lead me closer to the Lord

Dancing Down Mountains

February found me
and I found you 
wasn’t expecting your shade of blue 
April I love you 
I think I do too
Emotions running like water fourteen days later 
I love you too

I love you too

I’d heard all the stories about what true love is
But never known the feeling until you
And I’d take you over cliches of happy ever after
Baby this much is true 
I’ve found my home in you

Canada’s calling
We cross the sea
Fitting with family lost puzzle piece 
June eleven
spend forever with me?
A wild new adventure step into the future 
Chosen family


And I don’t know very much 
Not very much at all
But I know that you are who
gets me through it all

You are my best friend
You are my home
You are my hiding place in the storm
You are my best friend 
You are home
You are my anchor when things go wrong

Home (Orange Juice Tea Edition)

This is not about my feelings
I choose to stand in the truth 
I don’t want any distractions
I want just me and you
I’m laying down my mindsets
Picking up my spirit sword
Don’t need to worry for nothing
You’ve already won the war

You have the victory
You are the one true king
You have the victory
And I declare it loud 
I declare it loud 
(Repeat)

Trials come and they go
When I think of the cross 
You went to hell and came back 
You did it all for love
You did it for the broken
You did it for the weak 
History’s greatest act of love 
was my father choosing me 

This is my battle cry
This is my trumpet song 
This is my victory dance 
You are the one true God 
(Repeat)
