Yeppers. I write songs. It's mostly just lyrics with the tune and all. I don't figure out the notes. For all of you who know me, it's surprising, but then again, this all must be. If there's a new one, go to the bottom- you'll find it there. There's no background music for this page because, well, they're songs. I know you can't hear the tunes, but it's still cool to think of them yourself.
This one's called Under the Moon. It's definitely not one of the best song's I've written, so no critiqueing (I guess) on this one!
The moon’s hugangus tonight/ I long to see you/ My heart’s wide open tonight/ I don’t know what to do/
I long to see you/
'Cause I miss you/ I need you/ I need your hand/ Mine’s cold/ I’m alone/ And I’m heartbroken/ Can’t you come/ Can’t you see/ Why you need me/ Just take my hand/ I’ll help you see/ When it comes to you and me/ Under the moon
I consider this next one one of my best songs. I wrote it on my bus. If you ever see me scribbling furiously in a notebook or on a post-it with a gel pen (probably a purple one), I'm almost definitely writing a song.
You were/ Just another guy/ Until I saw you/ And breathed in/ Your air/ I hate how I talk to you/ Like it's nothing new/ These feelings inside/ Are so different/ I want to/ Tell you
But you wouldn't talk to me/ Refuse to see me/ And I can't let that happen/ This isn't just some song/ In a notebook/ This is the heart and soul/ You think you know/
This is resilence/ Resistance/ Wanting to tell you/ Oh so bad/ This is my heart/ This is my song/ Needing to talk to you/ Oh so bad/ Just one day/ Is all it takes/ To show me your smile/ Don't wanna let you go/ Don't wanna let you know/ How I feel/ This is resilence/
I was/ just another girl until i saw your/ amazing/ smile/ i hate how you talk to me/ just like you could see/ how i can't form the words/ i feel polluted/ imperfect/ but right/
And now you talk to me/ just like you can see/ but i can't let that happen/ this isn't some songin a notebook/ this is the heart and soul you think you know/
This is resilence/ Resistance/ Wanting to tell you/ Oh so bad/ This is my heart/ This is my song/ Needing to talk to you/ Oh so bad/ Just one day/ Is all it takes/ To show me your smile/ Don't wanna let you go/ Don't wanna let you know/ How I feel/ This is resilence/
This is me/ this is you/ this is my life/ and my future/ it's not just my hand you're holding/ it's my/ heart/ but you don't have a clue/ cause i won't tell you/ you don't even know/ you don't need to know/ because/
this is resilence/ resistance/ wanting to tell you/ oh so bad/ this is my heart/ this is my song/ needing to talk to you / oh so bad/ just one day/ is all it takes/ to show me your smile/ don't wanna let you go/ don't wanna let you know/ how i feel/ this is resilence
This next one took me some time. It's a little cheesy, but it's got a nice tune and was inspired by something.
Live On
It well up in my eyes/ Every night/ That you're here/ Don't wanna say goodbye/ Everytime/ That I hear/ Your voice/ Speaking out to me/ Your voice/ Talking in my dreams/ It's hard enough/ To say goodbye/ But I can't let you go/
You live on in my heart/ Every minute of every day/ I get a brand new start/ A little magic blows me away/ A far distance/ A long time/ You're in my heart and mind/You live on in my heart/
I was working on something and watching CSI when I wrote this one. I ran to my computer, and now I'm missing CSI because I can't forget it! Shocker there, though- these are three things I'm acutally good at. Writing songs (this one' pretty good), Boondoggle, and watching CSI. I'm very good at that last one!
Every Thought
It gets to me/ Your smile/ I see you every day/ It's hard to meet/ Your eyes/ Afraid to get swept away/ My heart is heavy/ With the pain of loving you/ My eyes are heavy/ Can't sleep without dreaming of you/
You voice haunts my every thought/ I'm stuck in this state of mind/ I want to be all that I'm not/ It's always hard to find/ That you're just alone/ Nothing's close to home/ But you in my heart/ I need you here/ A secret it's not/ Your voice haunts my every thought/
It's hard to let/ You go/ I can't forget that smile/ It's something that/ I know/ It's going to take a while/ I feel ridiculous/ Saying this aloud/ It's all ridiculous/ We're stuck apart in this crowd/
You voice haunts my every thought/ I'm stuck in this state of mind/ I want to be all that I'm not/ It's always hard to find/ That you're just alone/ Nothing 'sclose to home/ But you in my heart/ I need you here/ A secret it's not/ Your voice haunts my every thought/
Add the tag/ And add the tears/ It's all a drag/ It's been a year/ And nothing's changed/ Except for me/ Are you so blind/ Can't you see/
You voice haunts my every thought/ I'm stuck in this state of mind/ I want to be all that I'm not/ It's always hard to find/ That you're just alone/ Nothing's close to home/ But you in my heart/ I need you here/ A secret it's not/ I want you/ I need you/ Cause your voice haunts/ My every thought/
I love this one!
I Think I'm in Love With You
I think i'm in love with you/ i think i need to see your face/ see your smile/ hear your voice/ I really think it's love/ i know it really can't be/ but it might be destiny/ and maybe you're the one
but what if it's love/ what if it's true/ what if it's me/ who's right for you/ what if it's love/ tell me boy then/ what should i do/ should I tell you the truth
i think i'm in love with you/ i think i can't let go of you/ can't get by/ can't slip away/ i really hope you know/ and then i really hope you don't/ I don't need you to see this/ but can't you see me
but what if it's love/ what if it's true/ what if it's me/ who's right for you/ what if it's love/ tell me boy then/ what should i do/ should I tell you the truth
This one's kinda short, but it's good.
Don't Leave
I've been dreaming of you/ Since the day you left/ and every night since you've been back/ I've been need in of you/ Since I found you best/ Though you left without a trace or a track/ How I've missed you though you're back/
Please stay/ Finally/ you're here/ but not with me/ can't you stay a while/ don't leave/ baby/ I'm/ begging/ I want you to be mine/ You're here and so am I/ so make this dream a reality and/ Don't leave
this one's real short-
Hate to See You Go
Oh oh/ when you look at me/ it's easy to see/ we're more than compatible/ oh no/ when you go to leave/ i can barely breathe/ I'm hardly able/ to go on/
Hate to see you go/ don't wanna see you leave/ it's always hard/ can't start a fire without a spark/ can't stand to let you go/ turn back around/ come back please/ walk right through that door again/ and don't leave me
This one's a fave-
Again
I don't know what to tell you/ I don't know what to do/ I'm kind of lost sitting here/ Cause you're in the room/ I can't pay attention/ i need to focus for a while/ I'm having a hard time/ Cause I'm lost in your smile/
Smile again/ let it light up your eyes/let me see the sun rise/ once again/ laugh for me/ brighten up the whole room/ lighten up all the gloom/ make it all right then/ smile again/
I can't seem to find words/ i can't seem to form words/ nothing makes sense anymore/ since you left my world/ i've got writer's block/ I try to fill it in/ I need you to laugh and/ smile again/
Smile again/ let it light up your eyes/let me see the sun rise/ once again/ laugh for me/ brighten up the whole room/ lighten up all the gloom/ make it all right then/ smile again/
Light
Sitting alone/ All by myself/ why don't you come/ and say something/ take all my pain/ tears and the rain/ make them all to me/ mean nothing/
sitting aside/ off stage at night/ and wondering why/
let me have my/ time to shine/ let me be the/ girl I once was/ tell me it's mine/ rise and shine/ and let my light/ reach right/ where yours does/
the light won't reach/ my vicinity/ won't you come and/ spare your time/ my aching knees/ bent praying/ i need your warmth/ your life and your light/
i feel your love/ embracing me/ and finally i see that it's/
finally my/ time to shine/ I am now the/ girl I once was/ teIt's yours and mine/ rise and shine/ I'm satisfied/ I'm at your side/
Cause my light/ reaches right/ where yours does/
I wrote this one during CSI. It goes to show that you can find inspiration almost anywhere.
Falling
Look at me- I’m falling/ Falling for you/ Empty inside/ I try not to cry/ But it’s hard not to/ Look at me- I’m crazy/ Crazy for you/ Feeling in my heart/ Don’t know where to start/ But it’s true/ I’m in love with you/
I’ve been confused lately/ Don’t know where it stops/ Don’t know where it is/ I can’t describe the feeling/ I only know you’re/ The one who it is/
I feel empty but full/ And lost but here/ I feel pushed, I feel pulled/ I’m dry, but there’s tears/
Look at me- I’m falling/ Falling for you/ Empty inside/ I try not to cry/ But it’s hard not to/ Look at me- I’m crazy/ Crazy for you/ Feeling in my heart/ Don’t know where to start/ But it’s true/ I’m in love with you/
I wonder what you’re thinking/ Are you thinking of me?/ Cause I’m thinking of you/ The sad music I’m playing/ It’s not helping me/ I just don’t think it through/
You’re fantastic, you’re real/ You’re a dream, you’re true/ You’re tough, you’re sweet/ You’re perfect, You’re you/
Look at me- I’m falling/ Falling for you/ Empty inside/ I try not to cry/ But it’s hard not to/ Look at me- I’m crazy/ Crazy for you/ Feeling in my heart/ Don’t know where to start/ But it’s true/ I’m in love with you/

The Night of My Life
Every Friday night we’re in the same place/ I’m wishing I was with you, I see your face/ I’m praying that next week things will be different/ I knew that this night was the last day/ I hoped I’d turn around and see it’s your face/ There behind me/ How could I know that it was going to be?
So we talk, we laugh/ We sing, we smile/ You’re so amazing, my heart’s on the line/ I never want to leave this place and time/ Because
This is the night of my life/ The time of my dreams/ You’re breathing here with me/ Our hearts beat right in time/ To the music playing/ Loud and fine/ I know it’s here/ I know it’s time/ This is the night/ The night of my life
Somehow it happens always when you’re here/ You say the word, and there is no fear/ There’s nothing but the sound of my beating heart/ My head is spinning over each glance at/ Your smile, your eyes, you know where my heart’s at/ it’s crazy new/ How can’t you see I’m in love with you?
This is the night of my life/ The time of my dreams/ You’re breathing here with me/ Our hearts beat right in time/ To the music playing/ Loud and fine/ I know it’s here/ I know it’s time/ This is the night/ The night of my life
Never let me go, never let it stop/ I’m here for you, no matter what/ I try to be the perfect girl for you/
So we talk, we laugh/ We sing, we smile/ You’re so amazing, my heart’s on the line/ I never want to leave this place and time/ Oh oh ohh
This is the night of my life/ The time of my dreams/ You’re breathing here with me/
(Sound burst, then back in)
Our hearts beat right in time/ To the music playing/ Loud and fine/ I know it’s here/ I know it’s time/ This is the night/ The night of my life/ Oh oh oh baby/ This is the time of our lives/ It’s here, it’s now/ It’s tonight
I do believe I wrote this one in French. Doubtlessly on a day that I had, well, you know- that class :) Dang, I was thinking it was pretty good, but then I read the one above it and I thought, man, why can't I write like that all the time? This one's merely verse, bridge, chorus. Lame...
Untitled... until later... when I think of a title... which will probably be never...
Staring at the clock but thinking of you/ I always wonder why/ Seconds fly past when I'm with you/ But when I'm not the time drags by/ I can see your every move, your smile/ Every detail that I notice/ From your shoes to the hair falling into your eyes/ And I can't help but know this/
Everything I do is all for you/ I try hard to impress/ I never will be good enough/ Even if I'm the best/
You're amazing and stunning/ Spectacular and true/ My heart's stirring and burning/ It's aching for you/ I wonder and ponder/ When you'll come around/ Tell me it's soon/ Boy, tell me it's now.
Ooh! This is a good one! I wrote it at AD and I'm very proud of it!!! It was originally written in poem format, but it fits that one tune, so I put it in lyric form.
Waiting all day for night to come/ The sun to set, the stars to rise/ It's worth my life, and still then some/ Just to see you smile/
The sky takes hold of the light in your eyes/ Glistening like stardust/ Something tells me it's finally time/ I can't, but you must/
There's something you have to tell me/ You smile as you come near/ My smile betrays my reality/ It's finally what I've wanted to hear/
Life's how I imagined it/ The final process due/ We finally found the way to live/ You for me, and I for you/
