"If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older. As time goes on your innocence fades, and all you can do is remember when you had everything."

Days We Forgot

It’s so late, just like me. Of all the things I wish you’d see.
But when you’re here, my heart stops, and I try to talk, but call it off.
Nothing else on my mind, just my body all the time. 
Cause you left, I’m all alone, it’s just me in this broken home.
So I’ll say, to the wall. If I could, if at all.
If I had, something more, something else - you close the door.
Touch my hand, don’t move away. All I want is for you to say.
What’s on your mind? What’s your rush? My arms getting tired, from staying up.
Because I think, I’ve fallen for that girl that walked out the door.
As I speak, to myself, the words you’d hear, put on the shelf.
Cause I can’t speak to you, I’m a broken bottle, and way past due.
I just want you to know, when I’m with you, I’m not alone.
And I’ll break, my streak to say. I’ll take a chance, but you’ve gone away.
So I’ll stay up all night, drinking whiskey...


what i wish i could say

It’s a hope, it’s a lie. 
If it’s the same to you, the same to me - I’ll try.
It’s a wish, it’s a dream.
Though this promise is not as real as it seems. 
The last three times were nothing, and I’m still waiting around
I keep running into something, just a bird stuck on the ground. 

The warmness of the day has left, the setting of a son. 
Like the hard December mornings, just before the cold’s begun.
So laugh and run, and hold my hand that’s calling out for you.
Both together, still, in mornings as a leaf hanging to dew. 
There’s gotta be a time for better timing. 

Every hope, still a lie. 
And every day it seems so hard to go and try. 
And this wish, just a dream. 
For each night that lays to burst it at the seams.
Take the train into the sunset, fall asleep ‘gainst broken glass.
Slumber through the daylight, just await this life to pass. 

The warmness of the day has left, the setting of a son. 
Like the hard December mornings, just before the cold’s begun.
So sing along, this symphony that hums a country tune
For to separate in darkness, as a lie echoes the truth.
There’s gotta be a time for better timing. 



On the Train Going West

Lyrics:

Crossing stars and dotting eyes
And watching how it all aligns
To walk up next to you and say, “hello.”

Lying down with summertime
And watching as the days pass by
I’m waiting all night just to hold your hand.

You make me want to rearrange my plans.

Fallin off the wheel again
I’m trying hard to understand
How anything at all can change this fast.

Locking lips with summertime
Holding onto days passed by and
Suddenly those words are more than true:

“I would rearrange my plans and change for you.”

Holding like the wait of my life
Take all of these worries off my star crossed mind.
Deciding on the color of your eyes
Like an old song

Lying down with summertime
And watching as the days pass by
I’m waiting all night just to hold your hand.

*For Emelia


Crossin Stars and Dottin Eyes

Last Nite (Cover)

I wrote this song quite a while ago. I was very apprehensive to upload this, and didn't for a while; this is because it is very obviously about someone I cared a great deal for.

Everything is past tense lately.

It used to be called forever, but that was clearly not right.
