All The Time 02:40
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
