Lyrics:
Here I am again
Heart in hand my friend
And don’t how it got this bad
And I don’t know when 
I’ll ever understand
Maybe never 
Maybe now I’ll see myself
And all that I’ve become

Is it me out there
Seeming not to care
I’ll go on with my life
But the fairy tale,
It lets me down every time
Right before my eyes,  
He keeps me warm, 
A kiss upon my cheek
He gives me love,  
He gives me honesty,  yeah

I flow with you,  
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we make our peace
Let me flow with you,  
And you’ll flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
But it’s so hard to feel  
so hard to feel

He gives me love 
And a kiss upon my cheek

And I flow with you 
And you flow with me
We make our wars
But we'll make our peace
Yeah I flow with you  
And you can flow with me
We know there’s love
Even when it’s hard to feel
We still believe, oh yeah

He gives me love  
he gives me honesty
He gives me love,  
He gives me everything, yes he does
He keeps me warm

Debut

Flow

Well, I've forgiven all the past injustices
Hidden in a smile, Hidden in a smile
And I've forbidden any kind of hitting back
Anyway, I'm giving slack, I'm holding back

I'm holding back, I'm holding back

Forced by hidden fears lost in silent tears
Hidden deep inside, deep inside
It sets off like a bomb, intending to do total harm
Anyway, I'm giving slack, I'm holding back

I'm holding back, I'm holding back
I'm holding back, Lord knows, I'm holding back

Friendships thin in the daylight, then chill on a rainy night
They leave you in a cold sweat, in a cold sweat
And you wonder with the last one, did you just go out fashion
Anyway, I'm giving slack, I'm holding back

I'm holding back, I'm holding back
I'm holding back, I'm holding back
I'm holding back, Lord knows, I'm holding back

I'm Holding Back

(Verse 1)
They say everything's bigger down in Texas,
But my heartbreak's spread across the map.
From Tennessee to Colorado,
Each one left their mark on this cowboy's back.
A Georgia peach with a fiery temper,
A Kansas girl with a heart of stone.
They’re scattered far and wide, and it’s a ride,
Trying to leave their ghosts alone.

(Pre-Chorus)
I got scars in places they don’t talk about,
Memories that I can't drown out.

(Chorus)
'Cause all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
They're all over the U.S.A.
Every mile marker tells a story,
Of love that crashed and burned away.
From the Midwest plains to the Carolina coast,
They haunt me wherever I go.
Yeah, all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
But their memory’s got me low.

(Verse 2)
There's a bar in Montana where I still feel her,
A redhead with a tattooed sleeve.
And up in New York, there’s a wild-eyed city girl,
Who swore she’d never leave.
Then there’s that Florida girl with her sun-kissed smile,
She said forever, but it faded fast.
Every stop on this highway of heartache,
Is a lesson in love that didn’t last.

(Pre-Chorus)
I keep my boots moving, I keep my head high,
But the road’s got a way of saying goodbye.

(Chorus)
'Cause all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
They're all over the U.S.A.
Every mile marker tells a story,
Of love that crashed and burned away.
From the Midwest plains to the Carolina coast,
They haunt me wherever I go.
Yeah, all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
But their memory’s got me low.

(Bridge)
I thought the Lone Star State could heal my soul,
But the truth is love don’t play that role.
It’s a wild rodeo, a gamble, a bet,
And the odds ain’t in your favor yet.

(Chorus)
'Cause all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
They're all over the U.S.A.
Every mile marker tells a story,
Of love that crashed and burned away.
From the Midwest plains to the Carolina coast,
They haunt me wherever I go.
Yeah, all my ex's don’t live in Texas,
But their memory’s got me low.

(Outro)
So I’ll hit the gas, let the engine roar,
Leave those shadows in my rearview more and more.
But no matter how far I try to roam,
Those ex’s don’t let me feel at home.

Cause My Ex's Don’t Live in Texas

The Doubt

Want Me

Deep Country Healing

OWEN STAGG HE IS VERY PUNCTUAL
JUST LIKE ME
ALWAYS CARRIES A STONE IN HIS POCKET 
SO DO I

AND WE BOTH AGREE THAT HERB STRIPPER
WOULD BE THE RIGHT NAME FOR A KITCHEN DRAG ACT`
but
I AM NOT OWEN 
OWEN IS UNIQUE
QUITE A SPECIMEN
DODECAPHONIQUE
YES HE’S ONE OF A KIND
UN VRAI GENTLEMAN

HE HAS A GREAT DISPLAY OF JUMPERS AND CARDIGANS 
ME I DON’T
HE IS GOOD AT CHESS AND SAXOPHONE (IN A CUPBOARD)
MOI NON PLUS

HE KNOWS SO MANY THINGS I DON’T, LIKE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN FRENCH AND GERMAN BOW STROKES

I AM NOT OWEN
OWEN IS UNIQUE
QUITE A SPECIMEN
EN PATAPHYSIQUE
HE’S ONE OF A KIND
UN VRAI GENTLEMAN

ME WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT WARM HUGS AND OLIVES
RIEN DU TOUT
BUT OWEN HE FEARS A BAD BBQ PIZZA 
I DO TOO

HELLO HELLO, HELLO OWEN CAN’T HEAR YOU ME
I CAN’T HEAR YOU
OH MAN YOU’RE SO DIFFICULT TO CONVERSE WITH
ON THE PHONE



I AM NOT OWEN (Lyrics) song for Owen

"Wrap me up, pull me in, let me grow where you begin…"
"Round and round, we twist again…"

Met you on a Monday, blue sky, gold rays
Spinnin’ like a record, two hearts, one place
Tiptoe, let go, tangled in the chase
Wrapped up tight, but I like the way it sways

Ooh, we twist, we trip, we slip, we slide, we slide
Ooh, pull apart but stay entwined

We’re like thorny vines, swingin’ low, reachin’ high (oh-oh)
Kinda wild, kinda bright, kinda stuck, but it’s all right (uh-huh)
Round and round, we weave, every time!
You and me, yeah, we’re thorny vines (woo!)

Yeah, love ain't linear, more like Fibonacci
Step away, snap back, yeah, the pull got me
Venus flytrap when we clash, yeah, we bite
But we still keep growin’ through the cracks in the light
We ain’t picture-perfect, Polaroid got a crease
Two hands wrapped tight but we tug for release
You cut deep, I leave marks just the same
But a scar ain’t a wound, it’s just proof that we stay
Overgrown instincts, twistin’ through the chaos
Every thorn’s a lesson, every bloom is a payoff
Tried to cut it loose, but the roots still remain
No escape when the wild calls your name

Ooh, we bend, we break, we sway, we climb
Ooh, always back in perfect time

We’re like thorny vines, swingin’ low, reachin’ high (oh-oh)
Kinda wild, kinda bright, kinda stuck, but it’s all right (uh-huh)
Round and round, we weave, can’t unwind
You and me, yeah, we’re thorny vines

Yeah, sometimes I’m a prick, but you don’t seem to mind
You just roll your eyes, pull me back into the vine
We zig, we zag, yeah, we scratch, yeah, we sting
But we still grow back every damn spring

Ooh, we twist, we turn, we break, we bend
Ooh, but we find our way again

We’re like thorny vines, swingin’ low, reachin’ high (oh-oh)
Kinda wild, kinda bright, kinda stuck, but it’s all right (uh-huh)
Round and round, we weave, can’t unwind
You and me, yeah, we’re thorny vines

A little twist, a little spin (spin)
A little lost, a little in (in)
No straight lines, just loops and sways
But I’d wrap around you any day

"Wrap me up, pull me in, let me grow where you begin…"
"Round and round, we twist again…"

Thorny Vines

Friday night, she locks the office door
heads home up the 405
Staring at red tail lights, like a crimson tide
Playing footsie with the gas and brake
She thinks to herself.
How much more of this, can a girl take?

She's barely in the door
kicks her shoes off, 
picks the mail up off the floor
She already knows
what bills she can't afford
with a heavy sigh, she wants to cry

Ohhhhhh oooooooooooooooooo

She checks the message on her phone
"Hey girl, are you coming out tonight "?
She knows she should say no
She knows she should stay home 
and save some money, 
she doesn't have a lot
so, she texts back..."probably not"

Ohhhhhh oooooooooooooooooo
Ohhh

But she's feeling restless
Maybe even a little reckless
she's gonna go 
She thought it through 
Because this is what the cool girls do

While she does her make up
She has a couple of glasses of wine
takes her pen takes a hit
that should do it ...

She draws smokey eyes, lips stained in Tom Ford,  
blush from Sephora, heads towards the door
grabs her Birkin bag, the one she couldn't afford 
and slips on her Jimmy Choo's
because this is what the cool girls do

Driving East on Sunset
freedom doesn't feel so far away 
her front seat is her confessional 
She doesn't have to be professional
She can say what she thinks, if she's feeling off kilter
She doesn't have to use a filter
she looks in the mirror and says, 
I confess...'I know I'm a little high,
I'm just trying to get by '

10:45 she's on the dance floor
what she was worried about  
She's not worried about it anymore
She gets lost in the music 
She's flying high above the clouds
She doesn't want to come down 
In her view
This is what the cool girls do

Driving West on Sunset
freedom feels so far away 
her front seat is her confessional 
She doesn't have to be professional
She can just say what she thinks, if she's feeling off kilter
She doesn't have to use a filter
she looks in the mirror and says, 
I confess.....' I know, I'm a bit of a mess'

TWO AM...she heads back home up the 405
Staring at red tail lights, like a crimson tide
Playing footsie with the gas and brake
She thinks to herself.
how much more of this can I take?

Is this what the cool girls do? 

Are you a cool girl too ?

What The Cool Girls Do

Lyrics:
Swimming through the clouds
like a weightless bird
in the deepest blues 
Seeing all the sounds
that move through the 
skyline hues 

Living in electric dreams
riding waves of neon streams 
Everything so soft and sweet
except the ground beneath our feet
               
My wings about to break down
But we can’t eject somehow
Embrace for the impact
But I know how to fix this now
we need it now!!
 
Just take the pill
to make us feel better
We need the thrill
and we can go on forever!

No more fear and no more pain
just the rush inside my veins
It dominates, it elevates
are they real, these pearly gates? 

My wings about to break down 
Are things about to end now? 
Embrace for the impact
But we know how to make things right!
this never-ending flight

Just take the pill
It will make us feel better
We need the thrill
so we can go on forever!

Don’t take the pill
It wont make me feel better
I need to kill
and lock you up forever

I wont take the pill
cause I wanna feel better
I’m gonna kill
and bury you forever

Swimming through the clouds
like a weightless bird
in the deepest blues 
Seeing all the sounds
that move through the 
skyline hues

The Pill

I Don't Wannabe (Your 51st State) - Pop/Rock Version

Mr. President, a moment if you please
We used to be like brothers now you're coming after me
Mm-hmm we fought together, died together too
And I can't believe this nightmare is all because of you
So let me say to USA as nicely as I can
To leave it along and let us just be friends
Talkin' 'bout my home, my true North, Strong & Free
And like the song says, baby, We Stand On Guard for Thee

I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wannabe
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wannabe
Don't wannabe your 51st state now

Friends like us gotta find a way
To make things right for the USA
Friends and family across the border
It's elbows up when we get in the corner
Where we live is happy home
Reaching for something that ain't your own
We understand you want to grow
Our advice, just leave it alone

I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wannabe
I don't wannabe your 51st state, no
I don't
I don't wanna
Don't wanna
Don't wannabe your 51st state now
