Leaving the club
Past the parking lot
You said I seemed so smart
For eighteen
Kept it all so quiet
Simple summer days
Your car and your embrace
Little waves goodbye

Was I too young to know what love meant?
When you pulled me close and called me brave
Or were you not old enough to see the warning signs?
Too young to understand
What you were taking away at that time!

Was he too naive?
Or was the other too smart?

Pictures in my mind
Sweet, painful memories
Playing pretend grown-up
Power in your bed
Saying I was different
Special to your eyes
But now I understand
Why you had to hide

Too young to know what love meant?
When you pulled me close and called me brave
Too young to see the warning signs
Too young to understand
That falling for you was not on my behalf

When I look myself
and the pastime
I can see clearly
A boy falling for a man!

I'm standing tall
Speaking truth at last
Breaking silence held
For way too far
Pieces of my heart
Scattered in your memories
But I'm taking back
What's mine

Too young to know what love meant?
When you pulled me close and called me brave
Too young to see the warning signs
Too young to understand
That falling for you was not on my behalf

Was I too young?
Now I know better
Was I too blind?
A boy and a man!

Too Young (Acoustic)

A raw, intimate ballad exploring the ache of grief and the impossible hope for one more moment with someone you love. “Come Back to Life” walks the listener through haunted rooms and silent memories, capturing that space between holding on and learning to let go. With simple honesty and a heart wide open, this song is for anyone learning to say goodbye but never truly forgetting.

I'M HERE AT LAST

You’re my Babe

Plask, mask, fjäril, glas
Solen gömmer sig, underbar grimas
Dröm, göm, vän, hem
Dansar i regnet, jag ler igen

Bucket on the doorstep, socks soaked through
She’s stompin’ in puddles like she’s got a clue
Rain hits her fringe, hoodie way too big
She spins, says “Papa, I’m a fish! Do a wiggle and jig”

No punchline needed, this right here’s the joke
A life so small, but my god it spoke
Through boots full of splashes, thunder in play
The rainbow I see when it’s all gone grey

Drip, drop, splash, sway
We smile at the rain, come what may
Skip, hop, giggle, sing
The sky don't hold back a single thing

brittle butterfly, dance, string and jab
storm-footed light, hands open to grab
A second of time, like a coin in a jar
Moments don’t last, but they carry you far

Asked once if the clouds feel pain
They let it fall, to paint the stain
Nods like she gets it, dance ain’t done
“Don’t cry too hard, Mr. Rain, we’re just havin’ fun!”

Plip, plap, tip, tap
Rain’s just rhythm for feet that clap
Drop, dribble, hum, sway
laughs with the storm, all in a day

Brused and batters, sung and said
Aye such peace in me cluttered head
There she goes, breakin’ old lore
Aye she’s been here before, and wants more

No camera, verse could wrap this sight
Trailing rain, stitched in light
You’d think joy comes from sun or spring
It blooms from hand to hold, a heart to cling.

Pat, pat, fall, flow
Every storm brings room to grow
Tread, twirl, rain, shine
sweet daffodil, still mine.

Rain on the clothesline, shirts doin’ a waltz
She hums to the sky like it’s all her fault
“Maybe I dreamt this,” she grins with a skip,
“Maybe the clouds just needed a drip.”

Steam on the window, fog on the breath
Her fingers draw hearts like she’s spellin’ out depth
No grand truth, just the puddles we cross
But we’re here, and we’re dancing, that’s gain, stones to toss.

Swish, swash, spin, sway
Hearts don’t break when we play this way
Blip, bop, bounce, beam
Love rides the drops in every stream

We sang to the bins, we blessed the drain
Ordained every puddle in her silly rain reign
Swore the snails had secrets, gave the worms a cheer
Her kingdom of damp, and I’m happy here

Aye, and if grief’s a guest, let it pour some tea
We'll toast the drizzle, both wild and free
Not all’s fixed, and that’s alright
Some things shine best in the middle of night

Flick, flash, drop, glide
You and the rain, side by side
Tap, tiptoe, twirl, grin
The world comes back, and lets you in

Cwtsh, gwlyb, cannwyll, llygad
Glaw yn dawnsio, dim ots am y gwadd
Un, dau, tri, pedwar, tro
Rwy’n gwenu ar y glaw, fy nghariad fach o’r fro

Gwenu ar y Glaw

A heartfelt, faith-inspired song about love, loss, and eternal hope. It reflects on grief, memories, and the truth that remains engraved in our hearts, ultimately pointing toward healing, remembrance, and the promise of a greater life beyond this one.

What is love
