[Verse 1]
Coffee's cold, the morning's slow
Streetlight shadows on the kitchen floor
I keep thinking 'bout what I don't know
And why I keep wanting more

You said goodbye like you meant hello
Like you knew something I still don't
Maybe you were right to go
Or maybe I just let you

[Chorus]
It could be timing, or the way we tried
Could be fear we never learned to hide
It could be me, could be you
Could be something love just couldn’t do
It could be fate, or just bad luck
Could be a spark that never lit enough
Or maybe, baby
It could be… love

[Verse 2]
Drove by that bar where we first met
You wore that laugh I can't forget
I still replay your silhouette
Like it’s burned into my eyes

You were lightning I couldn’t catch
A runaway train on a heart-shaped track
Now I’m just here with the aftermath
And a thousand little whys

[Chorus]
It could be timing, or the way we lied
Could be words we kept deep inside
It could be dreams we outgrew
Could be silence that just grew and grew
It could be fate, or just bad luck
Could be a storm that swallowed us up
Or maybe, baby
It could be… love

[Bridge]
Some things don’t end
They just stop being said
Some nights I talk
To the ghost in your side of the bed

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
It could be healing, or holding on
Could be learning what we did wrong
It could be hope, or it could be pain
But I still see your face in the pouring rain
It could be fate, or just bad luck
Could be a fire that never gave up
Or maybe, baby
It could be…
Yeah, it could be…
Love

[Outro]
It could be, it could be
It was, maybe
It still is, to me
(live in the studio coming through headphones - picked up by vocal mic)
It could be, it could be
It was, maybe
It still is, to me

IT COULD BE

Verse 1
I just wanna be a man  
Who loves You all my life
Who walks with You on the narrow road
Without compromise

I just wanna use my time
In a way that pleases You
To glorify Your name oh Lord
And enjoy Your love too

Pre-Chorus
All my heart I give to You
You and You alone are God

Chorus
Nothing else is my desire
Than to lift You ever higher
May my soul be found in you
All my heart I give to You 

All my heart I give to you
All my heart I give to you
Give to You

Verse 2 
I just want to live the truth 
And walk with You in the light 
In every step I take, oh Lord 
With You by my side

I just want to know Your ways 
And always hear Your voice 
Walk by faith and not by sight 
And in You rejoice

Pre-Chorus
All my heart I give to You
You and You alone are God

Chorus Nothing else is my desire
Than to lift You ever higher
May my soul be found in you
All my heart I give to You 

All my heart I give to you
All my heart I give to you
Give to You

Bridge   
You are my strength, my peace, my song 
In You  I know where I belong
To know You Lord is my choice 
And You, oh Lord, I enjoy 

Chorus Nothing else is my desire
Than to lift You ever higher
May my soul be found in you
All my heart I give to You 
All my heart I give to you

Nothing else is my desire
Than to lift You ever higher
May my soul be found in you
All my heart I give to You 
All my heart I give to you

Outro
All my heart I give to You 
All my heart I give to You 
All my heart I give to You 

All My Heart I Give to You

Invisible Wires
Words and Music: Anne-Marie Fraser, Gary Clute

Moonlight a highway on the ocean tonight
and you are out there somewhere, out of reach, out of sight
I always knew you had to do 
What you had to do
Still these invisible wires keep pulling me back to you.
 
And I’m not angry, and I’m not sad
and I’m not lonely – so don’t feel bad
 
The secret is there in the Blue
That whispers our deepest desires
You can just hear the breathless return of the waves
Drawn by invisible wires

I sift through ancient promises – so many grains of sand ¬–
D’you remember what it’s like to hold ‘Forever’ in your hand?
I am unchanging like the tides, you said and if that’s true
Surely invisible wires will pull me right back to you.
 
And I’m not angry, and I’m not sad
Just reminiscing – so don’t feel bad

[Bridge]
My eyes are full of starlight from a hundred million stars
and I would trade them all and all their worlds 
to be just where you are.
 
Moonlight on the ocean – I’m alone here on the beach
and you are floating somewhere out of sight and out of reach
I always knew you had to do 
What you had to do
Still these invisible wires are pulling me back to you.


Invisible Wires

When you scream at Ghosts....

I met a masked robber at an open bar at Mardi Gras
He smiled and said ” I’m gonna steal your heart”
I said, if you’re trying to get my attention 
That’s a pretty good place to start 
I'd never thought he'd break my heart


I fell hard and fast
I thought, this kind of love could last
But....damn 
How could I have been so wrong?
Different dancer,  same song 
by the time the fall leaves fell
he was gone


It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late to expect you’d be a stand-up guy 
I’m tired of asking why...
There is nothing you can say or do
You're a masked robber on the loose
but I need a mercy from you


If you ever loved me 
Why'd you ghost me?
I need your ghost to come back


I need the ghost of you to come back
Take back all the love we made
Take back all of the reasons you couldn’t stay 
Take back all of the memories we ever made 
Take back everything that reminds me of you
 keep looking over your shoulder, 
I need closure,
This Louisiana girl needs to bury you


I sleep on your side of the bed
Where your head used to rest
I know that doesn't make sense 
I still don't know why you left
This is the state of affairs 
you left me in 
Was I not worth an explanation?
 I still feel your breath on my skin


I still go to Welty's  on Saint Charles Avenue
Our usual waitress, Miss Olivia 
she doesn't ask about you 
a knowing look, she says, 
Sugar, are you doin' okay?
I can barley nod, yes
Because inside I'm dying 
She knows I 'm lying

I could tell her you moved to California
But the truth is to this day
I don't know where you are either way


It’s too late to apologize
It’s too late to expect you’d be a stand-up guy 
I’m tired of asking why
There is nothing you can say or do
You're a masked robber on the loose
But I need a mercy from you


If you ever loved me 
Why'd you ghost me ?
I need your ghost to come back


I need the ghost of you to come back
Take back all the love we made
Take back all of the reasons you couldn’t stay
take back all of the memories we ever made 
Take back everything that reminds me of you
 keep looking over your shoulder,  I need closure,
This Louisianna girl needs to bury you


I'm gonna bury you 
I'm gonna bury you

The Ghost of You

What I'm Thinking

V1.
I’ve been thinking… 
if you’re wondering what’s on my mind
You might be way out of my league,
but I’m a fool if I don’t try
You’ve been thinking 
that I’m a million miles away
And you’re wondering about our future, 
Well our future starts today

Chorus
I’ve been thinking, and sometimes that’s a dangerous game
I’d like to ask you, if you’d share my last name
I’ve been wondering… 
if you feel the way I feel
Cuz I’ve been thinking, 
that it’s time we seal the deal.
I’d like to raise a toast to you and starting these glasses clinking
Pretty please would you be my wife? 
That’s what I’m thinking

V2.
I’ve been thinking 
about starting a family
But for right now,
Let’s be Mr. and Mrs. You and me
These tears of joy you gave me
Have set my eyes to blinking
You’re gonna make a beautiful bride. 
That’s what I’m thinking

Chorus
I’ve been thinking, and sometimes that’s a dangerous game
I’d like to ask you, if you’d share my last name
I’ve been wondering… 
if you feel the way I feel
Cuz I’ve been thinking, 
that it’s time we seal the deal.
I’d like to raise a toast to you and starting these glasses clinking
Pretty please would you be my wife? 
That’s what I’m thinking

Bridge
Your dad said yes, let’s get that dress
And make this dream come true
I’ve been thinking we should set a date
And I hope the day is soon.

Chorus
I’ve been thinking, and sometimes that’s a dangerous game
I’d like to ask you, if you’d share my last name
I’ve been wondering…
 if you feel the way I feel
Cuz I’ve been thinking, 
that it’s time we seal the deal.
I’d like to raise a toast to you
 and starting these glasses clinking
Pretty please would you be my wife? 
That’s what I’m thinking

“Clouds on Vinyl” drifts through a haze of soft synths, tape hiss, and faded memories. This chillwave track feels like a lost record of a rainy afternoon — all crackle, glow, and emotional static. For late-night wanderers and nostalgic souls, it’s a soundtrack for slow spins and quiet skies.

Clouds on Vinyl

[Verse 1]
Gas prices high, the news keeps lyin’
Everyone’s got a brand-new way of cryin’
The world’s spinnin’ fast, folks losin' their minds
But somehow, darlin’, I'm doin' just fine

You walk in, wearin’ that old tee
Sayin’, “C’mon babe, let’s watch some bad TV”
You hand me a beer, take off my boots
And suddenly life don’t feel so brute

[Chorus]
'Cause right here with you
The sky’s still blue
Even when the storm rolls through
You hold my hand, and I breathe again
Like a porch swing in the wind
Yeah, the world can burn, but I’ve got proof
Everything’s alright
Right here with you

[Verse 2]
Folks run off to mountain retreats
Postin’ quotes 'bout findin’ peace
I just need your late-night laugh
And your back rub when the day’s been trash

You read me stories with that tired voice
Even when sleep ain't much of a choice
There’s wars and floods and folks gettin’ mean
But your love's still the softest thing I’ve seen

[Chorus]
'Cause right here with you
The sky’s still blue
Even when the storm rolls through
You hold my hand, and I breathe again
Like a porch swing in the wind
Yeah, the world can burn, but I’ve got proof
Everything’s alright
Right here with you

[Bridge]
We don’t need a cabin in the hills
Or some self-help book to get our thrills
Just your hand on mine and a kiss or two
That’s therapy I can stick to

[Final Chorus]
Right here with you
The sky’s still blue
Even when the world comes unglued
You pull me close, and I’m brand new
Like Sunday mornin’ dew
Let ‘em all run wild, chase what’s new
But I’ll stay grounded
Right here with you

Right Here With You

Lyrics
Shine on Me Tonight

My day started all alone with no one by my side
Although I wanted someone like you I was not looking
Then as I went about my life it was as if I made a booking
There you were, it was if I asked you to shine on me tonight

Where did you come from, why are you here
I feel like all my prayers have been answered for you to be with me
I must of done so many things right to be this blessed
Now I am dancing with beautiful you, and you shine on me tonight

You are so beautiful and sweet, you take my breath away
I feel as I am walking in your sunshine
Your body is a glow and I am attracted to your light
I thank god that you chose to shine on me tonight

You are so beautiful and sweet, you take my breath away
I feel as I am walking in your sunshine
Your body is a glow and I am attracted to your light
I thank god that you chose to shine on me tonight

Where did you come from, why are you here
I feel like all my prayers have been answered for you to be with me
I must of done so many things right to be this blessed
Now I am dancing with beautiful you, and you shine on me tonight

You are so beautiful and sweet, you take my breath away
I feel as I am walking in your sunshine
Your body is a glow and I am attracted to your light
I thank god that you chose to shine on me tonight

Lyrics
Grew Up in Love with You

yeeah ....... yeeah ....... yeeah ......mmmmm 
You and me grew up together so close
Day by day you and me were meant to be
Did not even think about how much you meant to me
We were young and I did not realise what we could be

I want to let you know, these arms you belong in them
I want to let you know, I am nothing without you
I want to let you know, I cherish your presence in my life
I want to let you know, I am so in love with you, need to make you my wife

Now I am older and now I realise (I was so slow)
I could never live my life without you, I got wise
My world is only the way it is, with you in it (better believe it)
Got to grow up and get my head with it (need to be your man)

I want to let you know, these arms you belong in them
I want to let you know, I am nothing without you
I want to let you know, I cherish your presence in my life
I want to let you know, I am so in love with you, need to make you my wife

Did not even realise as the years passed by
That you and me had become soul mates (being with you is so easy)
This love I have had for so long, was not fate
We grew this love over the years, for so long I did not relate (you are my everything)

I want to let you know, these arms you belong in them
I want to let you know, I am nothing without you
I want to let you know, I cherish your presence in my life
I want to let you know, I am so in love with you, need you the rest of my life

I am a little older now and a little wiser
As my eyes open to see what I was once blind to (my love for you)
Your love is now staring me in the face
It's been there all along and not hard to trace

I want to let you know, these arms you belong in them
I want to let you know, I am nothing without you
I want to let you know, I cherish your presence in my life
I want to let you know, I am so in love with you, so in love with you
