All The Time
02:40

One day, who knows when
You’ll be drifting like the wind
You might want to hold somebody’s hand
Your legs won’t work like they used to
You’ll have to squint at the menu
Trust me someday soon you’ll understand
Do you think you have all the time in the world
Your mom and dad are getting old
Winter nights are dark and cold
But you hold out for the prize
Cuz it’s easier to be alone
Than let someone into your home
When love is here, right before your eyes
Oh, do you think you have all the time in the world
Back when I didn’t know
I let some good things go
Don’t do what I have done
Don’t wait forever for the one
I used to think I had all the time in the world
Do you think you have all the time
Do you think you have all the time
Do you think you have all, all, all, all the time

Rather Have You
03:46

A lot of couples I know
Love to give me advice
They tell me I need to grow
Before I can share this life
Well it’s true I need to change
So namaste
If they only knew
How much I meditate
I’ve probed the depths of my inner core
I’ve had enough of myself
I’m ready for more
Am I destined only to brood and write
Or will I ever have real love in real life
Is life just my art and love my muse
I’d rather have you, If I could choose
I’m not ashamed to admit
I hate sleeping alone
Eating dinner with a podcast while I check my phone
Everyone’s saying they’re so happy by themselves
Guess I’m the only one who could use a little help
I’m ready to go through this next part together
With someone by my side forever
Am I destined always to be alone
Or do I get to have a chance to make a home
Is life just my art, and love my muse
I’d rather have you if I could choose
If I could choose
Is life just my art
And love my muse
I’d rather have you
If I could choose
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
I’d rather have you
If I could choose

Walk Softly
03:20
|

Please walk softly upon this earth
Take your time, that’s what it’s worth
There’s a reason something put you here
You still have a lot more left to live
More to be and so much more to give
Please don’t let it waste away in fear
Get back up, don’t shed another tear
Please be gentle please be kind
You can’t read anybody’s mind
You don’t know what they’re going through
So don’t be quick to your defense
We all hide behind pretense
And It’s got nothing to do with you
So please don’t worry, please don’t fret
Re-write your story, it’s not over yet
Turn the page, ‘cause it begins right now
Who knows where it will go, or why, or how
Don’t give up, don’t despair
I know it seems like it’s unfair
But your soul is strong and bright
Feed your faith, starve your doubt
Believe that it will all work out
You never know -- it just might
And everything is already all right
Everything is already all right
Please walk softly upon this earth

State of Ease
03:13
|

Oh to be in a state of ease
Floating free upon the breeze
Flying over golden seas
Wash over me, a state of ease
Oh to be in a state of ease
Hear me singing on bended knees
Remember me please
In a state of ease,
In a state of ease
So I’ll be in a state of ease
Floating free upon the breeze
Flying high over golden seas
Wash over me, a state of ease
Oh remember me please
In a state of ease

Same River
03:10
|
|||
Oh you'll never step into the same river twice
It’ll never be just the same
Morphing by the second, rushing on by
And we don't miss our water til the well runs dry
Yeah you’ll never step into the same river twice
Everything including you will change
Something will go, something else will arrive
We are as fluid as the evening sky
Moving so fast, nothing will last
The moment blows past like the wind
Oh I have to be brave, riding the wave
And the one I must save is within
And I’ll never set foot into the same river
Oh you’ll never step into the same river twice
Sand between your feet will wash away
Ripples flowing over you never to return
Onward to the ocean as you face another day
Moving so fast, nothing will last
The moment blows past like the wind
Oh I have to be brave, riding the wave
And the one I must save is within
Oh I’ll never set foot Into the same river
Yeah I’ll never set foot into the same river

Coming Out (original)
03:13
|
|||
I refuse to dim my light
I’m not gonna tone it down
Just to make you feel all right
Cuz I spent too long trying too hard to please
And now I have no more apologies
And I don’t give a you know what
I don’t care if you judge me
Or if you think I’m just too much
Cuz I’m tired of keeping half myself at bay
And none of that stuff matters anyway
I’m coming out, I’m coming out
Who knows how many days I have ahead
It’s high time I learn to love myself before I’m dead
And when I think I won’t make it alone
I remember that I’ll leave here on my own
So I have to be okay with who I am
Even though not everything has gone according to the plan
I forgive myself for putting myself down
I’m the only one who can turn that all around
I’m coming out
I’m coming out
I’m coming out
