sirens 03:34
sirens i awoke to a woman's cries in the glow of warm street light maybe mother or the mother of his child sirens, sirens sound all night and oh another one they say oh happens everyday and oh, oh comes and goes like rain sirens call our names mama when your son was born he was drafted to civil war mama they won't bring him back draped in honor and country's flag and oh another one they say oh happens everyday and oh, oh comes and goes like rain sirens call our names i don't go to sleep anymore all i'll do is dream of war i need more than post and prayer i need cries to cut the air and oh another one they say oh happens everyday and oh, oh comes and goes like rain sirens call our names

hold me 03:08
hold me hold me hold me I am breathless weightless in her arms nothing felt so much like home yet i'm restless the parts that i can't trust reckless urge to stay alone she said hold me when you start to loose control when you feel like letting go baby don't. no one ever could control me least of all myself tangled up in consequence i remember when she told me she would be the one spoken with all confidence she said hold me that's all i need you to do break the skin if you have to i can take the pain for you she said hold me hold me till you feel it-you can shout hold me if you feel it-ride it out hold me you can push me-i don't care hold me i'm not going anywhere i'm not going anywhere she said

let's 02:44
let's keep it simple let's let it go let's not forget what we both know let's take it easy let's take a breath the world is still turning the world will not end let's eat some waffles let's eat some chips let's paint some ice cream onto our lips let's put on costumes let's put on hats let's go pretend that we're both cats let's tell a story let's make a world let's close our eyes let's think of girls let's make a promise we both swear to keep let's watch a movie let's fall asleep you are a mermaid this is your sea i am your island come swim to me let's take it easy let's take a breath the world is still turning the world will not end let's keep it simple let's let it go let's not forget what we both know

blue like 03:51
blue like joni blue like miles blue like tv sunday nights Blue like ocean blue like rain blue like metal blue like flame when nothings right but nothings wrong blue like strings in old love songs hear you think hear you sigh you so stoic tell me why was it what i said? something that i did? How'd you get so blue like smoke and empty roads blue like strength blue like stones you drift away the empty page the coffee stains you sleep alone self fulfilled uninspired you break mirrors play with fire you take walks you get lost i run to you you walk away what's so wrong with you? what can i do? how'd you get so blue so blue so blue why you worry? why you steam? blue like memory faded dreams next to me you're somewhere far blue like echo steel guitars blue like blood borrowed pain blue like ink the deepest stain the pair of jeans worn everyday why are you scared to change? maybe it's your style try hide your smile girl i know you're blue like sky

it's been a long time it's been a while since i have seen your beautiful smile i wrote you letters i called you twice a little physical connection would be nice i just want you to know i wanna rip off your clothes i don't wanna hold hold back i don't wanna go go slow baby when i get back i'm gonna wanna go go fast i'm gonna wanna go go off go off on that ass it's been forever it's been a while since i have grazed your beautiful thighs ima be honest i don't wanna lie all these emotions are building up inside i just want you to know i wanna rip off your clothes i don't wanna hold hold back i don't wanna go go slow baby when i get back i'm gonna wanna go go fast i'm gonna wanna go go off go off on that ass ass ass ass ass ass go off on that ass ass ass ass ass that ass ass ass ass ass... i just want you to know i wanna rip off your clothes i don't wanna hold hold back i don't wanna go go slow baby when i get back i'm gonna wanna go go fast i'm gonna wanna go go off go off on that ass but i won't unless that's what you want

about

In August, 2010-I decided to write a song a day for a week. I wasn't an experienced songwriter, and I didn't consider myself a musician. All I knew was that writing songs made me happy. So. Four years, tours, performances, and film scores later: I set out on the same task. Write a song a day for a week. The performances on this album were recorded live in Martha's Vineyard MA. Every song comes from my wildly sincere heart. Thank you for listening.
