Here's another version. Thank you to Duke Fresh for adding a wonderful verse and Jason Brian for recording.

Waited On You (Acoustic Version Feat. Duke Fresh)

This song is something different from the usual. I had fun writing this one. I was listening to a lot of serena ryder and grace potter music when I wrote it. I would love to finish writing and perfecting this song for an artist. Might not be the direction of music I want to do, but would love someone to sing on it. It isn't the perfect mix as you can tell...haha just playing around with jars and forks for percussion.

Like Nobody Else

I hold you in my hands
there's no other way
to tell you how I feel
reverberate through my chest
a force never to be reckoned with
I am armed and I'm dangerous
but you break me down...

you're my medicine
my reliever
the one i can write to
you're my cool
you're the calm of my storm
it's you...

if you read between the lines 
you will see every fragment of my heart
only a few would see all the truth that's in me
you make me strong when I'm weary
stand tall when I'm down
you're my happy melody
the music that I need to be free

you're my medicine
my reliever
the one i can write to
you're my cool
you're the calm of my storm
it's you...

you take care of my health
scribbles of words on this 
paper heart
but you do me well
you do me well

you're my medicine
my reliever
the one i can write to
you're my cool
you're the calm of my storm
it's you...

I waited on you
put my love in your hands
and I don't regret that I found you
I just need to know
that you feel the same way
we can take this slow
we can take this slow

I waited on you
took a chance that could last
and I'm so blessed that I found you
You just need to know
Oh you just need to know
that you're safe with me

Love is more than kissing and touching
Love is more than what they say
You give me something more
You care for me
You give me conversations
You hold it down, down, down

I waited on you
put my love in your hands
and I don't regret that I found you
I just need to know
that you feel the same way
we can take this slow
we can take this slow

I put my love in your hands
and I don't regret that I found you

Waited on you By Lailani Africa

Travel to Change

Chorus: I'm stuck on this gravel so I need to travel to change. (x2)

Verse 1: 
I need to change my outlook on the situations that have been present to me 
cuz I'm going nowhere. 
If I stay right here.
I need to leave no matter how much it hurts me

Chorus:
cuz I'm stuck on this gravel and I need to travel to change.

Verse 2:
If I don't change my way
This whole construct
oh it's superordinate ways
But we can change if we are willing
Oh we can't change nobody
so might as well change for the goodness of ourselves
I've been stuck in madness, but i'll find the gladness if I look the other way

Stationary. Oh my heart is pulsating so heavy.
Stationary. I'm pulsating so heavy, so heavy
it hurts too much to stay right here
and I'm stuck on this ground
not knowing where I'll be found.

Chorus: I'm stuck on this gravel so I need to travel to change.

Bridge:
Oh I wanna dance. Oh I'll give it a chance.
Oh I wanna dance. I'll give a chance
I'll lose my inhibitions. Oh I'm not perfection
But I'll make my decision to change.

Chorus: 
I was stuck on this gravel so I went to travel to change.
Now I'm free. I'm free. I'm free when I learn to fight and change these difficult ways.
