This song is years old, along with lots of tracks on here.  But I believe this desire is timeless.

Easy Breathing Child

This is a song Will Leet and I improvised together, based on a simple (yet AMAZING) progression he brought to the table with only a foggy idea of a melody and the word "Inspiration".  What a jam, what a jam, WHAT A JAM!

Stoddy Station feat. Will Leet (Inspiration)

Slow & playful.  This is my response to the [leading] question, "Why do you still have a picture of me"?

"PICTURE OF YOU" | Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Yeah, I’ve still got a picture of you  /  Tell me, baby, just exactly what you’re gonna do  /  You’ll come get it off my phone?  /  If that’s the case, I’ve got a few  /  I cannot help but look at you

CHORUS/REFRAIN:
I don’t throw out pictures of pretty girls  /  Of faces that changed my whole world  /  Baby, no  /  I don’t ride down the road throwin’ out 20’s neither  /  Some things we’re made to hold onto  /  I will always have a picture of you

VERSE 2:
Your eyes still make me smile  /  Miles away  /  Hundreds of miles away  /  And when I see your smile, I hear your laugh  /  It takes me right back  /  Takes me right back 

BRIDGE:
All these lines / All these songs / Pennies, dear / If they can’t bring you near / All these thoughts / Just worthless tunes / If they can’t tell you what I told them to / Let’s try this again… 

CHORUS/REFRAIN x 2:
I said I don’t throw out pictures of pretty girls  /  Faces that changed my whole world  /  Baby, no  /  And I don’t ride down that road throwin’ out 20’s neither  /  Some things we’re made to hold onto  /  I will always have a picture of you

I don’t ride down the road throwin’ out 20’s dear  /  Some things were made to hold  /  I don’t throw out pictures of you, dear  /  The face that changed my whole world  /  Some things we’re made to hold onto  /  And I will always have a picture of you  /  I will always have a picture of you
