Lyrics:
I think I'm alone not that I'm without you
Not lost, not found, no just alone in its form so true
The world seems smaller and quieter out there
But that's ok, because baby I got the sun to shine my way

Like the wind sways the trees or like the ground remains beneath my feet
I've always got me to count on and really that's all I need

So come on let's hit the floor and let the light shine on through
Because now we know that we've go nothing left to lose
Come on baby hold me close and hold me tight
In this lovely, lonely town where we feel just fine
Just fine oh oh

Reflections ripple off of the water
To show me that life never leaves the edge of the stream
As if we're just two ships passing in a dream
Only to meet for the briefest of moments and let love be
It's not as sad as one may think
Beauty lies in moments and moments become memories

So come on let's hit the floor and let the light shine on through
Because now we know that we've go nothing left to lose
Come on baby hold me close and hold me tight
In this lovely, lonely town where we feel just fine
In this lovely, lonely town where we feel just fine
Just fine oh oh

Lyrics:
I know it's hard to see
As strange as it may seem
You're a stranger to me
I thought that I knew you
I thought that I knew what was right in front of me
How can this be
The cold hands of reality split me into two
Now it's me without you

And though the night is long
Though you can't go on
Don't go into the dark
Don't go into the dark

A little memory
A photo of just us three
It was beautiful
Now burn it burn it down
Burn it to the ground
I don't wanna feel this anymore
Take, take a breath
Make sure you read the rest
There was a song

And though the night is long
Though you can't go on
Don't go into the dark
Don't go into the dark

Because you might find
Something you thought you left behind

And though the night is long
Though you can't go on
Don't go into the dark
Don't go into the dark
Yea don't go into the dark
Don't go into the dark

Lyrics:
Tender nights
Held close by your hands
Loved until sleep comes
No battles tonight you've won

Now dry your tears
And don't fall for your fears
Take my wisdom and run
Youth your springtime has begun

So please beware the fools promise
And the pretty little snares
And don't fall for others wrongs
I only say this because I care

Sleepless nights may come
Don't let them make you numb
You will find another heart to share
In your thoughts, in your battles, in your wear

Become wise as you grow
You will be more than I am
You will fall, then stand, oh I believe
That everything I leave behind is all you will need

So please beware the fools promise
And the pretty little snares
And don't fall for others wrongs
I only say this because I care

I only say this because I care
I only say this because I care
I only say this because I care

Lyrics:

It's cold out tonight
Not a bird in sight
Of where we're going I have no clue
We're just trying to make due
Oh oh

We were nothing but strangers
Catching kindness in each others eyes
Both blinded by the red light
As you call for me to come inside

Come on little girl
Come on pretty woman
Don't need no loving
I just need a little, little touch
just need a little, little touch

Oh baby let me know if I came
To the right place, at the right time
Oh come on girl give me a clue
of just what you're into
oh oh

Do we really need a reason?
Isn't it already justified
It's just me and you now
My body, your body tonight

Come on little girl
Come on pretty woman
Don't need no loving
I just need a little, little touch
just need a little, little touch
Come on little girl
Come on pretty woman
Don't need no loving
I just need a little, little touch
just need a little, little touch

Oh you got me running crazy
Oh you got me running wild
Do we really need a reason?
Ain't it already justified?

We both need a little touch tonight
Yea we both need a little touch tonight
Oh we both need to feel, feel alive
Yea we both need to feel, feel alive

They say your name is something to know as the
World comes crashing to your toes 
And I see you there by yourself.
You seem so distant tonight, a look from your eyes
That there's nothing I need fear when your by my side

Baby you are on fire and 
I am the rock to be rolled
Open your eyes and
 I just lose control.

So won't you kiss me now that we're lonely
And everyone has left the bar 
Or we could walk the walk
Yet you're surprised I made it this far
Oh I didn't know if you were gonna lock me out tonight
Oh I was sh-sh-shaking so hard 
I couldn't even say a word
because

Baby you are on fire and 
I am the rock to be rolled
Open your eyes and
 I just lose control.
Baby you are on fire and 
I am the rock to be rolled
Open your eyes and
 I just lose control.

So if you've had enough
I won't come crawling back your way
I've got some dignity left
Oh and you won't be the first to think
I'd show up at your doorstep
wooh baby
It's not about what you say
It's what you give in return
So keep your pretty promises girl
And I won't leave you to burn
So won't you tell me everything 
You think I'm doing wrong
wooh baby

They say your name is something to know as the
World comes crashing to your toes 
And I see you there by yourself.
You seem so distant tonight, a look from your eyes
That there's nothing I need fear when your by my side

Baby you are on fire and 
I am the rock to be rolled
Open your eyes and
 I just lose control.
Baby you are on fire and 
I am the rock to be rolled
Open your eyes and
 I just lose control.

Lyrics:
Come on settle down
What are we fighting about?
Anyway I wonder if
France is really a stone's throw away
Sitting in my chair
I'm calling you with a stare
Come on girl
Sing to me again cause

Love is never easy
Its a damn good dream
As lines pull down curtains
For what remains to be seen

We'll travel the world
At least I thought we would
But these things always end
Once the seem too good
Yea things are always blue
Once you know the truth
It took a friend
To make me realize that 

Love is never easy
Its a damn good dream
As lines pull down curtains
For what remains to be seen
Yea love is never easy
Its a damn good dream
As lines pull down curtains 
For what remains to be seen

Lyrics:
Take a breath, don't forget to rest.
Because we've got work tomorrow, and we've got to impress.
The car won't start, I guess we'll have to walk.
Was there something I forgot?
Lost in the parking lot.
Now hold your breath, don't think about the rest.
The world keeps spinning on its hands.
Trying to give me its demands.
And though I know, I'm in the woods for sure.
There's no simple way back home.
Lost in the unknown.

Your heart's a fire that I can't put out.
Your pain's an ache that's killing me inside.
Our love was like a house of cards.
Blown down by the smallest gust of wind.
As we held onto everything so thin.

Much like the poets always say.
Je ne sais pas qui est perdu.
Si c'est moi ou si c'est tout (le monde).
Now I hold the rest of my life in my hands.
Well I don't think you'll understand.
No I don't think I understand.

Your heart's a fire that I can't put out.
Your pain's an ache that's killing me inside.
Our love was like a house of cards.
And though, and though I loved you.
And though, and though I loved you.
Wilson park's stream keeps flowing like my dreams.

Your heart's a fire that I can't put out.
Your pain's an ache that's killing me inside.
Our love was like a house of cards.
And though, and though I loved you.
And though, and though I loved you.
Wilson park's stream keeps flowing like my dreams.

Running On Thin Ice feat. Nathan Owens

As a multi-instrumentalist, I play primary guitars and strings, a little of piano, vocals, and have the most experience playing drum set/percussion. I've only begun to write music on my own and have very little in the ways of recording equipment or equipment in general.

However, I continue to write and record. I hope to only obtain better means of production and strive to achieve a better understanding of music & instruments as a collective whole.
