Nothing but the Words is a collection of stories — all lived and felt.
It’s about a breakup and a new relationship, loving someone who’s far away.
It’s my own therapy, it's about speaking up after years of silence, holding on through distance, and learning how to let go when you finally have to, but more than all the expression on Love I finally feel truly.

These songs are how I say what I couldn’t say out loud.
If they find you at the right time, I hope they speak for you too.

Nothing but the Words

If I could fold the highway like a map
I’d draw a door from here to where you nap
Slide it open right into your room
Barefoot steps and hearts in bloom
I’d brush your hair while you brush your teeth
Tuck in close like I never leave
You’d smile and say, “You can’t be real”
And I’d say, “Come here, let me show you how I feel”

[Chorus]
I’d teleport to you if I just knew how
Drop right in and spin you ‘round right now
No more waiting, no more lonely nights
Just your hands in mine and the morning light
You could wash my back, I’ll dry off yours
I’ll brush your hair, then love you some more
I’d bend the rules and the stars somehow
If I could fold the highway right now.

I’d time it perfect, step in with the water runnin’
You’d toss me a towel like the trouble’s just beginnin’
Say “go on babe, I’ll cook you something sweet”
She plates it up like a five-star treat
You’d hum that tune I wrote of our first meet
Singin’ off-key, barefoot on the beat
Then pour my coffee with a little wink
And say, “Come get your kiss, but don’t you blink.”

[Repeat Chorus]

If I could fold the highway…
If I could fold the highway right now.

Or maybe in a dream past midnight’s door
I slip on through across the bedroom floor
Leave my boots and time behind
With you, love’s always right on time

No ticking clocks, no worn-out miles
Just waking up beside your smile
No traffic jams, no weekend plans
Just tangled sheets and lazy hands
The world outside can wait its turn
There’s coffee, kisses, and skin to burn
If wishing made the real-world bend
I’d fold that map and never leave again

[Repeat Chorus]
If I could fold the highway…
If I could fold the highway right now.

Yeah… if I could fold the highway, babe
If I could fold the highway right now,
I’d already be there with you.

A long-distance love song about teleportation, morning kisses, and folding space just to brush her hair and hold her a little longer. Playful, warm, and full of sunshine.

Fold the Highway

We talk all night with hearts half-shown
You hold my hand like it’s your own
You kiss my shoulder when we walk
Run your hand through my hair like it’s softest chalk
You call me babe, you call me love
You fit beside me like a glove
But there’s a space we never name
Where everything still feels the same

It might be early, might be wrong
But it’s felt like love all along

[Chorus]
We’ve got everything but the words
The quiet truth that never blurs
You lean on me, you match my pace
You pull me close in every place
You give so much, without a name
But I still feel it all the same
So I don’t ask for bigger words
We’ve got everything… everything but the words

You kiss my chest and calm my storms
You know the way my heartbeat forms
I hold your gaze, you hold my hand
We move like waves across dry land
You hold the space, you keep me whole
You name the parts I didn’t know
And I see you, not just the shine
But every edge you let meet mine

No need to label what we feel
It’s real enough without the seal

[Repeat Chorus]

There’s no pressure, there’s no race
No need to rush what time will trace
I’d rather walk this side-by-side
Then reach too soon and miss the ride

So I’ll stay open, soft, and true
And let the word come clear to you

[Repeat Chorus]

////--------------------------------////

A love song for everything that’s already there, the touch, the trust, the laughter, even if the word ‘love’ hasn’t been said yet.

Everything But The Words

You were stretched on a towel, that sun-kissed grin
I was sweating in the light where the pine lets in
Two backyards, but the sky said one
And we felt like rich folks in the sun

You held your phone like I was right there
Laughin’, sayin’ you’d save me a chair
And I swear that smile lit up my day
Like the sun reached out from six hundred away

[Chorus]
We got the same sun, same heat
You with that glow, me in bare feet
Different towns, but our hearts beat one
Tanned and teasing in the midday sun
You shine like gold in the afternoon
And I feel it rising from your side too
Six hundred clicks, but it still feels close
Babe, we’re dancing beneath the same sun

Babe, we’re dancing beneath the same sun

You said, “Wish I could reach right through the screen”
I said, “I’d fold the highway if you know what I mean”
You leaned right back with your eyes half closed
And I felt that spark through a screen and a phone

No ocean breeze, just that backyard sky
But somehow, baby, we still get high
On every look and every tease
Soakin’ in love on a light July breeze

[Repeat Chorus]
Tanned and teasing in the midday sun

Our phones ran hot, like our hearts, like our skin
Even apart, girl, we’re still locked in
Burnin’ bright where the sunlight plays
You and me, just a call away

Same sun… same heat
Same sweet fire, same heartbeat
Different chairs but the same damn fun
Fallin’ deeper in the midday sun

[Repeat Chorus]
(It’s like you were here…)
Dancing beneath the same sun

Still burnin’ under the same sun

////--------------------------------////

"Same Sun" is a pop-country dance track that captures the intimacy of long-distance love shared under a single sky. With vibrant guitars, a driving beat, and sun-soaked lyrics, the song tells the story of two lovers, each in their own backyard, connected through a video call and the warmth of the midday sun. It blends flirtation and longing with a touch of humour and heartfelt rhythm, reminding us that no matter the miles, love can still burn bright, beneath the same sun.

Same Sun

She walks in like color in a black-and-white room
Brings a laugh, brings a spark, clears away the gloom
She don’t try, she just shines, and that’s enough
Turns an everyday moment to something like love

No fireworks, no grand display
Just the way she smiles can shift my day

[Chorus]
And I’m lucky like that, to be hers, to be seen
To be picked by someone who could have had anything
She’s the calm in my chest, the fire in my track
And I still can’t believe she’s choosing me back
I don’t need much, but I know this, in fact
I feel lucky, yeah, lucky like that

There’s charm in her quiet, we don’t need to speak
Just a look, just a grin, and my knees go weak
She runs her fingers through my hair, slow and thin
I still catch my breath when she draws me in
Yeah, she knows it.

Not a script, not a show, not a dream I planned
But there’s magic in the way she takes my hand

[Chorus 2]
And I’m lucky like that, to be hers, to be known
To feel right in a heart that feels like home
She’s the calm in my chest, the fire in my track
And I still can’t believe she’s choosing me back
I don’t need much, but I know this, in fact,
I feel lucky, yeah, lucky like that

I feel lucky…
Yeah, lucky like that…

It’s not just the pull, it’s the peace she brings
Not just the thrill, it’s the truth in small things
She’s not saving me, but I keep rising
And love like this? It’s soul-surprising

We pull in close, and the world fades slow
No need for words, our bodies know
The way she sighs when I touch her skin
Says more than words could ever begin

[Chorus 3]
I’m lucky like that, to be hers, to be seen
To be chosen by someone who moves like a dream
She’s the calm in my chest, the fire in my track
And I still can’t believe she’s choosing me back
I don’t need much, but I know this, in fact,
I feel lucky, yeah, lucky like that

Lucky, lucky…
Yeah, lucky like that…
Lucky, lucky…

Still can’t believe…
She’s choosing me back.

“Lucky Like That” is a warm, groovy country-pop track that celebrates the quiet magic of being deeply seen, chosen, and loved. With a toe-tapping mid-tempo rhythm, smooth acoustic guitars, and a soulful male vocal, the song blends flirtation, tenderness, and gratitude. It captures the feeling of being drawn into someone’s presence, heart, mind, and body, and knowing just how rare that connection is.

Lucky like that

She says, “Moments matter, not what’s boxed or tied,” “Give me laughter, music, and time on our side.” 
She’ll light up a room with a joke and a glance 
Spin me around like it’s our one dance 
And when the right song plays, she leans in slow 
Says, “Boo, I feel rich, just so you know.”

[Chorus 1]
Every second with her is the moment of a lifetime 
Like sharing one chair in the glow of a bonfire 
She don’t need diamonds, don’t care for design 
She just needs touch and a glass of red wine 
She turns little things into gold every time 
Every second with her… Is the moment of a lifetime

She catches my thoughts before I speak 
She knows when I’m strong, and when I’m weak 
She reads me in silence like words on a sheet 
She hears her heart in the song, then kisses mine 
She teases then laughs, that moment’s divine 
And somehow her sparkle keeps redefining time

[Chorus 2]
Every second with her is the moment of a lifetime 
Like dancing barefoot in the heat of the fire light 
She don’t need diamonds, don’t care for design 
She just needs touch and a glass of red wine 
She turns little things into gold every time 
Every second with her… Is the moment of a lifetime

There’s a candle lit low and a song playing sweet 
She moves through the room with a sway in her feet 
Climbs in my lap like she’s claiming her seat 
She leans into me while the melody flows 
Her hands make promises, her lips kiss slow 
And time disappears in the afterglow

She taught me that joy ain’t something you chase
It’s lightning and laughter and a warm embrace
Now I hold her close and I finally see
She’s the gift that she’s giving me

[Chorus 3]
Every second with her is the moment of a lifetime 
Like soft-spoken laughter and skin against mine 
She don’t need diamonds, don’t care for design 
She just needs touch and a glass of red wine 
She turns little things into gold every time 
Every second with her… Is the moment of a lifetime

Yeah, every second with her…
Is the moment of a lifetime

////----------------------------------////

A heartfelt country power ballad about a woman who doesn’t measure love in gifts, but in shared moments. With warmth, humour, and quiet intimacy, the song captures how she turns ordinary nights into unforgettable memories, through laughter, music, touch, and presence. From soft glances to slow dances, candlelight to playful grins, every second with her feels like a lifetime. Honest, soulful, and deeply personal, this is a tribute to the kind of love that doesn’t need wrapping, just time well spent.

The Moment of a Lifetime

I know I fell in love too fast
Tried to turn a spark into something that lasts
Lightning struck, I mistook the flame
For a steady fire that don’t burn the same

You weren’t searching, you were fine alone
Still you opened your heart, let this stranger be known
I came in too intense, and I know it felt wrong
Now I’m learnin' to love you in the way we belong

I can’t plant a seed and expect it just to grow
I can’t chase tomorrow, today is all I know
I can’t make the river faster than its flow
But I’ll start to love you in the way love should go
I want the kind of trust that time will never break
I want the steady ground no storm can ever shake
I want the quiet truth that only years can make
I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

When the butterflies fade, I won’t walk away
I’ll be standing right here at the end of each day
I want the whole of you, not just a part
I’ll love who you are with all my heart

I barged in quick, disrupted your days
Now I’m learning love in a slower way

I can’t plant a seed and expect it just to grow
I can’t chase tomorrow, today is all I know
I can’t make the river faster than its flow
But I can learn to love you in the way love should go
I want the kind of trust that time will never break
I want the steady ground no storm can ever shake
I want the quiet truth that only years can make
I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)

I want a love that lasts with every breath I take
(with every breath I take)
