Lyrics

I'm not there.
Not really.
Not really there.
Into space.
I'm looking.
At something,
Not seeing,
Looking in.
Looking in.
Watching.
Waiting.

I imagine.
She says it looks weird,
When I do that.
But hey.
It's cosy.
My default.
Endlessly.
Always new.
And life.
Outside.
Is tiring.

So tiring.
You know.

[instrumental]

In my head, I'm alive.
Swimming.
Stretching.
Building.
Solving.
But I know,
It's a balance.
And a goal.
Not entirely without merit.

Yeah.

I'm not really there.
Into space,
At any thing,
But not seeing,
Looking in.
And without.

In my head, I'm alive.
Swimming.
Stretching.
Building.
Solving.
But I know,
It's a balance.
And a goal,
Not entirely without merit.

Looking In

The song reflects on a past love that ended in heartbreak. The narrator expresses feelings of loss and regret, describing love as a losing game. They remember the joy of the relationship but feel left behind and overwhelmed by sadness. The verses depict the emptiness and longing they experience, while the chorus highlights the contrast between the narrator's sorrow and their former partner's apparent happiness. Overall, the song captures the pain and disillusionment of losing at the game of love.

Love’s a Losing Game

I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.


Let Love Flow (Over & Under)

Oh, the sun kissed the waves on a Trinidad night,
When a wanderin’ soul met a vision of light.
Her skin like mahogany, hair like the tide,
She sang, “Sweet sailor, come walk by my side!”

[Chorus]
“Ho-oh, stay awhile, let the moon take the sky—
The stars’ll be diamonds, the ocean’s your guide.
Why rush away from this warm island sand?
Stay with me, darlin’, and hold my hand…”

[Verse 2]
Her laugh was a melody, sweet and low,
Like sugarcane whispers from long, long ago.
She danced ‘round him barefoot, her hips swayin’ slow,
Said, “The sea’s got a secret that only I know!”

[Chorus]
“Ho-oh, stay awhile, let the moon take the sky—
The stars’ll be diamonds, the ocean’s your guide.
Why rush away from this warm island sand?
Stay with me, darlin’, and hold my hand…”

[Bridge]
[Tempo slows, haunting steel drum echoes…]
The wind turned to whispers, the waves hummed her tune,
Her lips tasted sweet, like a salt-kissed lagoon.
She led him to waters where lanternfish glow—
Now that sailor man’s just a tale locals know…

[Verse 3]
[Rhythm picks up, urgent and bright…]
So if you’re down in Trinidad when the twilight grows thin,
And you hear a voice callin’ soft on the wind,
Cover your ears, boys, and quicken your feet—
That siren’s still singin’ where the coral reefs meet!

[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh, the moon’s her guitar!
Oh-oh-oh-oh, she’ll lure you far…
Sing it loud, sing it strong—
But don’t you follow that siren’s song!

Sing it loud, sing it strong—
But don’t you follow that siren’s song!

We come close, then we spin away,
Like the tide that won’t obey.
You pull me in with just one touch,
Then turn to stone, it’s all too much.

Are we fire, are we rain?
Are we passion, are we pain?
Every step is back and forth,
Like a force we can't ignore
We’re magnetic, love kinetic,
Drawn together, then rejected.

Hearts colliding, then dividing,
Still we can’t escape the fighting.
Push me out, then pull me back,
I want you close, but we react.

Like north and south, we twist and spin,
A love we lose, a love we win.
Your words burn, but they heal the same,
A whispered curse, a sacred name.

We chase the high, but fear the fall,
Can’t stay away, can’t stay at all.
If I let go, would you let me be?
Or would the force bring you back to me?

We're opposites, yet just the same,
A love that bends but won’t be tamed.
We dance this dance, we spin, we fade,
But something stronger makes us stay.

A love repelling, love so true,
I can't stay far away from you.


Magnetic

Not many people can avoid the struggle of heartbreak and trying to save a relationship while becoming resolved that it needs to end. There are at least 2 sides to every story, but in my experience working with countless people trying to move on, that it is not easy.The breakup - make up cycle can go on for years until for many, that day arrives. That day when you know, enough is enough and it is truly the end. You do not want to cut and run in relationships without trying to work things out - but there is also the other side of the extreme, which is overcooking and drifting into numbness. 

Wet Blurry Bright Lights Lyrics 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good

They tried to warn me 
You were no good
They didn't see 
The parts of you I could 
So many glimpses 
Of what could have been
The second eye opened
To finally see 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

So much love 
When you were in the mood 
Hysterical laughter 
Aching bellies, after
I hope you miss me 
Like I think you should 
I did so much for you 
But you made it win-lose

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on 
Moving on for good 

I feel different now 
Like its really it this time
It was that look
When I caught my eyes
In the mirror 
Too numb from the hurt  
From too many lies  
Too many times, burnt 

I tried to change you 
Thought you wanted to 
I gave way too much 
But giving was a rush 
That spoiled you rotten
Now I’ve removed the cotton
And removed myself 
Soon, you’ll be long forgotten 

You couldn’t even measure up 
To your own expectations 
You knew how to seal your fate
With those lame justifications
With so much fear, so much doubt
My world was spinning as I walked out

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good 

Wet blurry bright lights 
In my rearview mirror 
Keep reminding me
I won't be seeing ya 
Ever again (Ever again)  
I am moving on 
Moving on from you 
Moving on, moving on
Moving on for good
