Under Water 02:43
Is this the life that you wished for Is this the world as you hoped it would be Lost in the memories that you'll never make Just hold your head above water Is there someone you remember Someone who you could take from yesterday Someone who laughs in your language And can hold your head above water How long will we stay here How long must we try Why must we explain why some things just die Is there a dream you would fight for Anything worth expending yourself Close your eyes and float back into the womb And hold your head under water Under water Under water

Cloudy 03:19
If I leave you now would you still be my friend Cuz life's a little bit lonely when you can feel the end I get a little bit cloudy when the seasons change Suddenly I'm recoiling and the feelings change So come a little bit closer and let's both hold on tight I'm no good at detecting when the mood is right I get a little bit darker when the seasons change Everything hitting harder and the reasons change So take all that you can and set me free Honesty's not all it's cracked up to be Just wanted you to get a little glimpse of me So let's say our goodbyes before it goes to long We won't have to explain all the things that went wrong I get a little bit colder when the seasons change Now another year older and the meaning's changed So take all that you can and set me free Honesty's not all i's cracked up to be Just wanted you to get a little glimpse of me

Somehow Somewhere Someway I'l find my place with You touch You tease You understand the way you Please know And please come through Cuz I've got eyes for you That I can't hide from you I'll live a lie for you Cuz I get high from you Break through Break free Break down the walls you've built between you Between me Between the times we'll get to see if We'll both come through Cuz I've got eyes for you That I can't hide from you I'll live a lie for you Cuz I get high from you And when you're gone We'll sing our silent song It can't be wrong To feel you near Cuz I've got eyes for you That I can't hide from you I'll live a lie for you Cuz I get high from you

They'll be here Now until forever Living in the stories that we tell The long goodbye Feels like it's forever Soon you'll have to say farewell So turn around and face your sorrow Turn around, I'll understand Turn around, let's walk towards tomorrow Lift the burden hand in hand Every beach Every hillside Every smile has been saved Within reach At your bedside Under a blanket you engraved So turn around and face your sorrow Turn around, I'll understand Turn around, let's walk towards tomorrow Lift the burden hand in hand You lose a friend Lonely ever after You disappear and live inside Let someone in To help you find your laughter And let the quiet ease your mind And turn around and face your sorrow Turn around, I'll understand Turn around, let's walk towards tomorrow Lift the burden hand in hand Lift the burden hand in hand Lift the burden hand in hand

Woke up this morning And you weren't there with me in bed Another day dawning So much we still have left unsaid You wished for a song Well this one's here right now for you What took me so long Guess the words weren't coming through Tulips in the sky Moth to butterfly You wanted a dream You wanted to live a fairy tale But I could mean And drive this whole thing off the rails Analyzing why Lost are you and I If I were Pablo Neruda Or if I were Leonard Cohen With the wisdom of Buddha I'd find the words to take us home A treasure passing by Sugar butterfly

about

After a long layoff from writing and recording, I recorded these during the quarantine of 2020, remotely with me in New York and my longtime friend and producer, Matt Wilcox in Portland. It's more piano driven and stripped down than my other four albums and incorporates string arrangements by my friend Audrey Morse.
