lay your hands upon me
show me your beginning
at your slightest touch
something stirs within me
and i can't help but tremble

wrap your arms around me
and unfold into me
i wanna lose track
of where i end and you begin
let's waste no more time on wonder
just let it drag you under
let's waste no more time with endings
we've found a new beginning

'cause you and i
we are bound to redefine
the meaning of love together
as we learn to share
one last state of mind 
some have said that love is blind
but it's time that was refined
'cause i can see into you and out through time
to where we all have something better in mind
like you and i

come away to a place with me
where we flow into each other
like the swell before a landslide
like the wind from shore to water
let's be all and nothing together
find our way out to forever
where we will learn to stay
and learn to see
what can never be wrong

(chorus) 
 
so tell me all your stories
and write some new ones with me
i wanna lose track
of where i end and you begin.

Enfolded

i don't have anything to say
that i can write in words
and there's nothing more to prove
my tongue's defeated me today
it's all i've heard
and my mind has followed suit

but it's a bright, shining kind of day
and i'm feeling focused somehow
yeah it's the right time, the right way
to understand this same sad dream

if we can save it up
i'll make it rain for good
won't be livin like a king of crowns
if we can't save us now
then maybe no one should

have you felt anything today
you haven't felt before?
if not then what's the use?
for all the pain that we endure
we know there's more
yet we live like there's no proof

are you really waiting for a sign
to believe your love is strong?
'cause the more you give the more you find
love was strong enough all along

if we just gave as much
as this war has tried to take
there'd be no way for the kings of crowns
to break us down
we'd live for no one's sake
but each other's
we fight like sisters and brothers
but we're afraid to love the same
to fear one another
is just a reflex, try to recover quickly
maybe we'll make history
making history

if we believe just what we understand
there's no way out
no faith even in ourselves

(love was strong enough all along)

inside a pale blue sky
my mind is fighting back
against the way that we were made undone
by what once was one
until the likes of a one and only son/sun
and i'm sure this time
i'll fail to recognize

with this morning light
i'm setting myself right
because there's no way to escape the bounds
of the kings and crowns
with just what's left inside

(for the sake of each other, escape into one another)
i will finally see the light
when nothing is left inside

King of Crowns

Made this for friends' wedding in like 2008...I think my voice has actually gone downhill since then...

First Time Ever

I used to play in punk bands, first writing straightforward pop stuff, then writing vocals for and arranging my brother's guitar music. That music evolved into this music.

Some of this isn't intended to be solo acoustic work and will be played by a band eventually.
