"sometimes optics keep you from pursuing what you might be feeling...this was me daydreaming that my crush liked me just as much, but couldn't get past the optics....the gift of love is sometime packaged differently than what you expected." ~ SheRocks

The Gift unravels the quiet ache of falling for someone when nothing else makes sense—and yet every dream speaks louder than optics. Written on February 27, 2011, it's about missing what could be, wrapped in all the reasons it can’t.

Lyrics like “A gift in disguise… This precious gift… Just want to know what happens next” tether hope to longing as your heart crafts a perfect scenario—even from a distance.

This one’s for the dreamers who've ever wondered if someone sees beyond the surface—and hopes they’ll wake up and follow.

~~~ The Gift ~~~

Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me
I tell myself that sometimes
But don't believe
You ever see me
Beyond the package
Your dream come true
When you close your eyes
A gift in disguise

Trying to remember the reasons
Why we can't be together
All superficial
All lies
All the things to say
But too scared
To realize
It's more than just
Butterflies

My dream scenario
Is you waking up with me
I know every detail
My heart lifts
Deep breath
Exhale
This precious gift
Just want to know
What happens next

Trying to remember the reasons
Why we can't be together
All superficial
All lies
All the things to say
But too scared
To realize
It's more than just
Butterflies

My dream scenario
Is you waking up with me
I know every detail
My heart lifts
Deep breath
Exhale
This precious gift
Just want to know
What happens next

Always see me running away
To see if you will follow
Wondering if you will
Stop being a desperado
Don't let this dream go
Wake up and be alive

I tell myself sometimes
Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me

I tell myself sometimes
Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me, of me

Wondering if you will follow
Happy to be alive
I tell myself sometimes
Betcha can't wait to fall asleep
And dream of me

The Gift

"written right before my wedding...stepping out again into the blue yonder wanting this to be my last, first kiss." ~ SheRocks

Blue Yonder was written just before walking down the aisle—capturing the magical hush before married life begins. Penned on September 18, 2017, it’s the hopeful tightrope walk of a “last first kiss,” stepping bravely into forever.

Lyrics like “Headed to the wild blue yonder… Every heartbeat starts… Please Lord, slow me down” bring that delicious mix of excitement, faith, and little-butterfly panic in one breath.

Standing together at “the top of the world,” “heart open, not afraid,” this song is for the brides, grooms, and anyone daring to leap toward a love that feels sacred.

~~~ Blue Yonder ~~~

Unexpected
You came into my life
Connected
Now I can't imagine life without you
Selected
You're the one meant for me
Protected
My heart pieces put back together
Better than new

I remember thinking
Here I go again…
Headed to the wild blue yonder
Every heart beat starts
Every love that begins
Every time I start to wonder
Is it this time, the last
Please Lord, slow me down
I don't want to fall too fast

Unexpected
You asked me to be your wife
Connected
Now two become one
Selected
Knew when I felt my heart flutter
Protected
Knowing you and I are forever

I still remember when
Thinking here I go again…
Headed to the wild blue yonder
Every heart beat starts
Every love that begins
Every time I start to wonder
Is it this time, the last
Please Lord, slow me down
I didn't want to fall too fast

No look at us
Standing up here
On top of the world
Hands together, ready for the ride
Always your only girl
Heart open
Not afraid,
Beating and brave
Feel the butterflies
Feel God's grace
Say bye to the blue yonder
Hello
Hope, Love, and Faith

Blue Yonder

"this was written about all the guys that run away from love .... dare you say it to one of them and watch them runnnnnnn!" ~ SheRocks

A Word Like That is the quiet confession that unsettles—written on March 20, 2011, it’s about the ones who run at the sound of the L-word. A brave whisper that fractures the easy façade, and exposes what we’re really afraid of: feeling deeply, and possibly failing.

“Love, I run away from… A word like that. Too afraid of feeling something… and then… fallen flat.” These lines lay bare the desperate dance between longing and fear—challenging us to say more, feel more, dare more.

This track is for anyone who's felt the weight of honesty and the pull of what could be, even when it scares you most.

~~~ A Word Like That ~~~

When you wake up
In the morning
Are you wrapped around
The one you wanted

As the day goes by
Do you look around
Looking for something more
Turn around your frown

Didn't expect to feel this way
Wondering why I didn't play
Why I had to breakaway

Love, I run away from
A word like that
To afraid of
Feeling something
And then
Fallen flat
Should I say this
Should I say that
Love yea
I run away from
A word like that

Ya never know
What could happen
Ya never know
When ya stop with conditions
All the misconceptions
The games
The comparisons

Didn't expect to feel this way
Wondering why you didn't play
Why you had to breakaway

Love, you run away from
A word like that
To afraid of
Feeling something
And then
Fallen flat
Should you say this
Should you say that
Love yea
You run away from
A word like that

When you wake up
In the morning
Are you wrapped around
The dream you wanted

A Word Like That

"praying for you before i even knew you, knowing that God knows you....and then meeting you and wanting to jump in! a playful game of dare, and where it could lead...just wanting you to see and wondering why you can't when the feeling is as big as texas!" ~ SheRocks

Bigger Than Texas is a bold invitation to dream and to dare. Penned on June 3, 2011, this song captures the thrill of a connection that’s larger than the map—something you feel before you know it, persistent and powerful.

“You had touched my heart before I even knew you… I dare ya, to be what you know you should be… There isn’t anything better than us… What we've got is bigger than Texas.”

It’s an anthem for anyone ready to leap—not just into love, but into possibility itself.

~~~ Bigger Than Texas ~~~

You had touched my heart
Before I even knew you
That is the honest truth

There was just something about you

I don't know what it was
What it is
But it is there
And it has always been there
I guess you could say
You answered my prayers

I don't know what is worse
To know or not
Some things I will never know
But I know this about me
I wouldn't pass up on love
If I felt that strongly
If it's there
What I've been dreaming of

So little that would of kept me away
No, there isn't much I wouldn't do
To be with you
And you can dare me if ya want to

Yea I dare ya, to be what you know you should be
Dare ya, to answer the knock at the door
Dare ya, to admit that you can see
There isn't anything better than us
No, what we've got is bigger than Texas

The way to my heart
You know the way
You've been there before
I let you in there everyday

Dreams are meant to be chased
You should chase them
Never give up the chase
Looks like I might have just
Chased you away

So little that would of kept me away
No, there isn't much I wouldn't do
To be with you
And you can dare me if ya want to

Yea
Dare to, to be what you know you should be
Dare to, to answer the knock at the door
Dare to, to admit that you can see
There isn't anything better than us
What we've got is bigger than Texas
No, ya can't miss us
No, ya can't miss us
Bigger than Texas

You had touched my heart
Before I even knew you
That is the honest truth

Bigger Than Texas

"i love a man that fights for love. this man just wants to know what it is that he needs to do. he messed up somewhere and realized that he was about to lose his girl, so he wants to know all the things so he does not do it again. he wants to make right and just wants her to tell him, like when they were friends and first learning about each other." ~ SheRocks

That Man is a beautifully honest reflection from the heart of a man trying to rebuild. Written on June 14, 2005, it’s not about perfection—it’s about asking, listening, and becoming the one who knows how to love better.

“I love a man that fights for love… Please describe him to me... I can be that man.” These lines are the quiet, courageous heartbeat of someone learning to come back to relationship with intention and vulnerability.

If you’re drawn to music that honors the journey of growth, hearing your own efforts to do better—this one’s for you.

~~~ That Man ~~~

Baby, slow down and stop
Take a deep breath
Tell it from your heart
Close your eyes and talk
That's the only place to start
Don't let it end
Sit me down, look me in the eye
Don't yell it – tell it like a friend
Help me understand
Tell me cuz I want to be that man

That man in your dreams
Who makes you smile in your sleep
Who when you were 8 you wanted to marry
When a kiss on the cheek meant "for keeps"
That innocence of love
That man you dream of
That man I can't see
Please describe him to me
Stop and take my hand
I can be that man

I know I've caused fear
Yea there is no doubt
There have been a lot of tears
I know you want out
You think things can't change
there is a different route
I want to go there, be that man
Baby, take my hand
Help me understand
Show me how to be that man

That man in your dreams
Who makes you smile in your sleep
Who when you were 8 you wanted to marry
When a kiss on the cheek meant "for keeps"
That innocence of love
That man you dream of
That man I can't see
please describe him to me
Stop and take my hand
I can be that man

When I look in your eyes I know
That is a love that can only grow
And when I felt your hands I knew
I was meant to be touched by you
Take my hand now
Help me understand
I want to be your man

That Man

"when you're falling in love and being in that blissful state of loving and letting go, let it go where it goes, just follow the flow, get into groove, and enjoy every moment and ounce of it....let your love flow." ~ SheRocks

Fell For You is that swoon-worthy, bliss-chasing moment when love catches you off guard—and you don’t want to think, you just want to feel. Recorded on May 31, 2010, it’s an ode to surrendering to connection: “With you, I don’t think—I just do,” and the heart loses itself in the sweetest way.

Let this one play when you're letting love lead, feeling the ease of being seen, and trusting the flow of something real, something light, something lasting.

~~~ Fell For You ~~~

With you
I don't think
I just do
And I find myself
Losing my heart
And loving it
Loving you

With you
This is what I am
What I am
Supposed to be
And loving it
Loving you

I see others trying to get
What we got
Thinking too hard
And falling apart

Life is not a race
Take it slower
Falling together
Looking for forever
Hear the music
Before the song is over

Yea you see it too
More than saw it
You had to of at least felt
What I felt too
Some of what I felt
Fell for you

With you
I don't think
I just do
And I find myself
Losing my heart
And loving it
Loving you

With you
This is what I am
What I am
Supposed to be
And loving it
Loving you

With you
I don't think
I just do
And I find myself
Losing my heart
And loving it
Loving you

Fell For You

"that friendship that is so easy and fun, secure and trusting - realizing that it IS something special and is not easy to find. " ~ SheRocks

As You Are With Me is a bittersweet salute to a friendship that felt like forever—but wasn’t. Written on August 15, 2009, it honors that rare connection that’s easy, honest, and deeply cherished.

“I hope you find someone to feel secure with… laugh the way you do with me… be you with, as you are with me.” These lyrics capture the ache of letting go, even when you wish things had a different ending.

This song holds space for those cherished connections that define us—even in goodbye, they leave us stronger.

~~~ As You Are With Me ~~~

I hope I find
Someone that makes me feel secure
Like I feel with you
Makes me laugh
The way I laugh with you
Someone to share me with
Like I hoped with you

You keep searching
I've done all could
You can't see what is good
Now I have to say goodbye to you
Didn't want it to end this way
Never wanted to see the day
When I would say

I hope you find
Someone to feel secure with
Like you feel with me
Someone to laugh with
The way you do with me
To be you with
As you are with me

Cheers to the years
That we've shared up til now
To the memories we've made
It's time to throw in the towel
But each night I'll pray
That you find her
The one we almost were

You'll never feel as secure with her
Like you feel with me
You'll never laugh with her
The way you do with me
You'll never be you with her
As you are with me

As You Are With Me

"this dynamic plays out so often for so many, you go out with friends, just to keep tabs on your crush. watching them and dreaming of them seeing you, and then one night it finally happens..." ~ SheRocks

World Is a Stir captures that breathtaking moment when a crush becomes real and your heart races in sync. Written on June 23, 2004, it’s about watching someone from afar—feeling every nervous flutter—and then suddenly, you’re standing side by side, and everything changes.

“With those stars in my eyes… same sweaty hands… same nervous twitch…” bring that cinematic, stomach-dropping thrill to life. And then… “you kiss me—and all the world is a stir.”

If you’ve ever held your breath waiting for connection—and known the rush that follows—this one is the glow you’ve been chasing.

~~~ World Is A Stir ~~~

I've been looking at you from afar
Always knowing just where you are
Always searching for a look, a smile
With just that and I could go on for miles

Oh how I long to feel and to touch
But I don't know if I could handle that much
If only you could see where I am
Then, I know, you would be holding my hand

Cause what you would see
Is me looking at you
With those stars in my eyes
Yea those stars of surprise
That your looking at me
With those same sweaty hands
Yea that same nervous twitch
Don't know which way is which
It's all just a blur
And then I wake up and your back where you were

I don't know what to do
Want to walk up to you
Tell you about me and who I am
Let you see where I stand

Cause what you would see
Is me looking at you
With those stars in my eyes
Yea those stars of surprise
That your looking at me
With those same sweaty hands
Yea that same nervous twitch
Don't know which way is which
It's all just a blur
And then I wake up and your back where you were

I turn to leave, grab my things and I'm gone
One last look over my shoulder to take you along
But you're not where you were
You're no where in sight
And just when I think I don't know where I am
You're standing beside me holding my hand

And I see
Those stars in your eyes
Yea those stars of surprise
That your looking at me
With those same sweaty hands
Yea that same nervous twitch
Don't know which way is which
It's all just a blur
And then you kiss me and all the world is a stir

World is a Stir

"inspired by one of my favorite scenes, dirty dancing: when baby goes to johnny's cabin after her dad helps penny. she says "I am scared of walking out this room and never feeling, the rest of my whole, the way i feel when i'm with you"." ~ SheRocks

Scared pays homage to that unforgettable moment in Dirty Dancing—where fear of leaving means fear of losing a feeling you can’t get anywhere else. Written May 24, 2011, it captures the quiet panic and longing that crash through you when something—or someone—makes your heart come alive.

“Scared of leaving the room and never feeling this again… too scared to feel something real.” These lyrics are the confession of a heart that knows true connection when it happens—and sees how fragile it is.

This track is for anyone who's felt joy teeter on the edge of fear, and knows that sometimes, stepping closer feels riskier than stepping away.

~~~ Scared ~~~

I guess I'm scared
Yea I know I am
That there will never be another
That makes me feel like
When me and you are together

The feeling of just being in your sight
You noticing me
Giving me just enough attention
To make my heart tickle
Without any intention

My friends think I should
Lets say I did
But don't
Some say you would
I can admit
You won't

Scared of leaving the room
And never feeling this again
So hard for me to stay
And be content with us
Staying this way

My friends think I should
Lets say I did
But don't
Some say you would
I can admit
You won't

Scared of leaving the room
And never feeling this again
So hard for me to stay
And be content with us
Staying this way

My friends think I should
Lets say I did
But don't
Some say you would
I can admit
You won't

Energy this big
Fills the room
Everyone can feel it
I know you do too
Too big to conceal it

Scared  to feel
Too scared to feel
Something real
Something you may want
Some say you would
I can admit
You won't
So scared
You won't
You won't
You won't
Something real
Something you may want
Some say you would
I can admit
You won't
So scared
You won't

Scared

"Inspired by a love letter, written many years ago....and yes, i did mention When Harry Met Sally in it! I wrote this as I was getting ready to release this album, and i was forced to clear mailbox space...and I found the email I wrote with hope of loving out loud. "I don't love you anymore" is a direct reference to the song "Anymore" by Travis Tritt - one of my all-time favorite love songs - tired of pretending...." ~ SheRocks

Love Out Loud is a brave confession typed out under late-night honesty—born from an old love letter rediscovered when clearing out your inbox. Fueled by the genius of When Harry Met Sally (yes, I name-checked it for a reason!), the song is an embrace of the real script of love—even when it doesn’t go by the romantic-comedy playbook.

“I guess I just made the first move… Said the words I always wanted to.” When the heart finally types what you feel, you let love out loud. This track flips “I don’t love you anymore” into its opposite: I don’t want to waste more time.

For the hopeful dreamers, the truth-tellers, the hopeless romantics—you don’t have to wait for the perfect scene. Just shout it. Love out loud.

~~~ Love Out Loud ~~~

I guess I'm just a hopeless dreamer
Blame the movies, they shaped my demeanor
Like When Harry Met Sally or Far and Away
Where love starts with a fight
But ends up holdin' tight, being right
I keep waiting for one of us to say
What we've known for years
Holding onto our hearts,
like precious souvenirs,
so they didn't break

This ain't the script I wanted to write
But here I am, wide awake, late tonight
Typing out the truth I've been hiding
My heart appearing on the screen,
Can't keep fighting
Why deny it?

Yeah, I'm in love with you
I guess I just made the first move
Said the words I always wanted to
I just want a chance to see
If maybe, now
You're ready to
Love out loud
Love out loud
Love out loud

When we met,
I didn't think twice
Thought you were just another guy
Someone cute, who all the ladies knew
Didn't expect I'd fall in love with you too
But the more I knew you, the more I saw
You weren't like them, you had no facade
You made me rethink what love could be
And what it could mean for me

Every date I've had since then
Makes me think of back when
(yea, so long ago)
They didn't feel like you beside me
Couldn't fake what you ignite in me
(still, to this day)

Yeah, I'm in love with you
I guess I just made the first move
Said the words I always wanted to
I just want a chance to see
If maybe, now
You're ready to
Love out loud
Love out loud
Love out loud

Yea, I'm tired of pretending
We can have a happy ending
Its not how you start,
It's how you finish
We can still win this

Yeah, I'm in love with you
I guess I just made the first move
Said the words I always wanted to
I just want a chance to see
If maybe, now
You're ready to
Love out loud

Love out loud
Love out loud
I just want to shout

I'm in love with you
I guess I just made the first move
Said the words I always wanted to
I just want a chance to see
If maybe, now
You're ready to
Love out loud
Ready to love me

Yea, I'm tired of pretending
I don't love you anymore
I don't want to waste more time

We can have a happy ending
Just let me love you out loud
Yeah, just let me love you out loud

Love out loud
Love out loud
I just want to shout

I'm in love with you

Love Out Loud

Just a girl who has written many lyrics of love and heartache throughout the years, with a dream of hearing them as a song.
