ABOUT THE SONG
I wrote this song in the summer of 2008 about a mind game infused fling/relationship that had ended up turning into a game of cat and mouse. It just got to the point where I laid my feelings out on the line, and it was take me or leave me. Things would always seem fine one moment, but it always went back to the mind games on his end. This song is me just calling him out, and how I knew there were feelings there, but he was too scared to confront them. Ultimately things fizzled out because the games just got way too exhausting for me to keep up with anymore. By the time I had written this song, things were already over... I just had to lyrically call him a chicken shit before I could get the closure that I apparently needed. I was Taylor Swift before Taylor Swift was even Taylor Swift... Booyaah!

VERSE 1:
I am so glad that we 
Had that talk so now we
Both can try to finish what we started

But am I going crazy?
Do you not say what you mean?
You keep me on my toes 
Then knock me off my feet

PRE CHORUS:
But you know what I think?
I think you're...

CHORUS:
You're so full of shit
​You're so full of shit
More than you'd like to admit
What are you scared of,
Falling for a girl like me?
You're so full of....

Oh...
Oh...

VERSE 2:
I am so glad that we
Can be mature about this...
I don't think you're getting my sarcasm

So just don't humor 
You rip my heart off my sleeve
I grin and bare it as you 
Lie right through your teeth.

PRE CHORUS:
You wanna know what I think?
I think you're...

CHORUS:
You're so full of shit
​You're so full of shit
More than you'd like to admit
What are you scared of,
Falling for a girl like me?
You're so full of shit....

BRIDGE:
What do you have to lose?
Don't think that I feel sorry for you...
You could have me 
If you stopped being a fool
But you're a liar liar 
With your pants on fire
The unfortunate object of my desire
When you stop running, 
I'll stop chasing you...

CHORUS:
You're so full of shit
​You're so full of shit
More than you'd like to admit
What are you scared of,
Falling for a girl like me?
You're so full of....

You're so full of shit
​You're so full of shit
When it comes down to it
You're not man enough 
To handle this...
(Laugh)
So let's call this your loss because your
You're so full of...

Oh...
Oh...

ABOUT THE SONG 
I cowrote this song with NYC based producer, Marc Ciprut in 2004, when I was 20 years old. I worked with him on a few demos, and he presented me the music to this one. It had no lyrics, so I took it home with me, and upon reflecting on a relationship of mine that had just ended, I came up with this song. The song is about a man who leaves a woman for a girl much younger, which is pretty funny that I considered myself a woman, at the tender age of 20 years old. The song still brings back so many memories for me, some good, some bad, but regardless of the connotation, it was all a learning experience.

​Verse 1
We were so perfect
Going on two long happy years
But then she came along, oh
I thought we were stronger than this
I thought we were happy

Chorus:
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she write you any love songs?
Whoa
​
Verse 2
You said she’s your soulmate,
It’s only been two weeks
Do you say the same things to her
That you said to me , whoa
I thought you were different

Chorus
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she write you any love songs?

Bridge
You don’t know
How far I would go
To get you back in my arms
How’d I know
That once you mentioned her name
Things wouldn’t be the same anymore
Whoa

Chorus
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she…
Say you’ll stay
Why’s this have to end this way
I know she’s young and pretty
But will she write you any love songs?

ABOUT THE SONG 
I wrote this song around 2005 or 2006 or so. At the time I had been dating a musician who wrote beautiful piano compositions, but he couldn’t bring himself to delve into the lyrical realm. This song was basically a plea for him to write me a song because I knew he had it in him. All he needed was a bit of encouragement. Soon after I wrote this, he wrote a string of awesome lyrical songs. I also want to mention that both of the verses has some extra lines that were ultimately shortened down to remain radio friendly aka under the 3.5 minute mark... It's still one of my longer songs. I feel like this was the point I started really coming into my own as a songwriter.

Verse 1:
Hey…
Write me a song
Show me your love
Is that asking for much?

Pre Chorus:
I know you got it in you
So stop it with your dumb excuse
I’m not looking for anything profound

Chorus:
So write,
Write me a song
Show me your love
That’s all I want
From you

Verse 2:
Lately…
I haven’t been myself
Like a book on a shelf
Are my words kept there confined

Pre Chorus:
I’ve seen you work your magic
I doubt the well is running dry
I’m not looking for anything profound

Chorus:
So write,
Write me a song
Show me your love
That’s all I want

Bridge:
So now you got a bit of my melody
Won’t you try alittle bit just for me?

Break:
Babe…
Write me a song
Show me your love
Is that asking for much?

Bridge:
(Guitar Solo)

Chorus:
So bring
Bring me the stars
Keep them safe
Call them ours
Whoa , whoa
Oooh…

(Fade Out)

ABOUT THE SONG 
I wrote this song around the end of 2007 or early 2008 after a long term relationship. It was the longest relationship of my early 20s, ending as I approached my 24th birthday. It was after I had ended this relationship, that I had realized that I hadn't really experienced life as a 20 something year old adult yet. I felt like maybe I was starting to settle a bit, and I needed to find myself as a young girl coming into my adulthood. I needed to feel life out a bit, and I wanted to get out and experience more things for myself without the influence of a man in my life. 

Also, at that age, people tend to grow apart as they "grow up", and as bittersweet as it is, I felt it was time for me to move on.  This is a somber sounding song acoustically, but I can hear some big guitars surrounding the bridge. Also, there is no real chorus or hook to this song. It just feels like it doesn't need one to me... This is one of those songs that I feel I just needed to get out of me emotionally at that time; I wasn't really writing this to commercially appeal to anyone, so it might not be as catchy as my other songs. That's fine, they can't all be radio polished tunes. Who knows, maybe one day I'll go back and add some kind of hook if I ever feel inspired to. I'm always down to revisit things and remix/freshen old material up a bit!

Verse 1: 
It never crossed my mind that I 
Never finished what I started
You gave me everything 
I'm sorry to say that 
This plane has departed 

Pre Chorus:
And I'm like a baby 
It's like seeing the world for the very first time
And I can't say maybe 
When the chances are slim
And the odds are a mountain to climb 

Verse 2: 
You taught me everything so 
Pointless to use in this 
Worst Case Scenario 
Another toast I make to 
Forgetting the words 
To the songs that you wrote me

Pre Chorus:
And I can't go back 
This carousel moves too fast 
In the perfect direction 
And I never speak my mind 
When the wind moves too fast
My words fly back to my face
Just like dust in my eyes...

Bridge:
You never speak your mind
You never speak your mind
You never speak your mind

Instrumental 

Outro:
I never speak my mind
When the wind moves too fast
It's just a worst case scenario... 

ABOUT THE SONG 
This was the song that started it ALL. This was the very first complete song I ever wrote, when I was just 18. I had only been playing the guitar for a few months at that point, and I remember just sitting on my bed strumming the Am chord, and I blurted out a lyric and the whole song just flowed right out of me in a matter of minutes. Shortly after, I began playing coffeehouses and started churning out song after song. I started working with a producer who helped me put together my first 3 song EP. The song itself was about a relationship that I was in, that was kind of in limbo. I kept getting the runaround from this boy, but I kept insisting that he was worth waiting around for. In retrospect, I was just a very dumb and naive 18 year old girl, hahaha!

Verse 1:
Here’s a thought
Dry your eyes now don’t you cry
Follow me
Throw your troubles to the sky

Pre Chorus:
I know that you’re worried
But it’ll be alright
Just take your time, no hurry
I’ll still be on your side

Chorus:
Cuz I know that I mean what I say
When I look in your eyes
And I won’t ever go away
That’s for you to decide
Just let me know
When it’s time…
Time…

Verse 2:
Take a look
At the situation here
I know that you need time
How bout a year?

Pre Chorus:
I’ll wait till the stars fall
Or till pigs fly
Just please don’t forget me
Or push me aside

Chorus:
Cuz I know that I mean what I say
When I look in your eyes
And I won’t ever go away
That’s for you to decide
Just let me know
When it’s time…
Time…

ABOUT THE SONG 
I wrote this song probably during the first or second year I started playing guitar. I was in my very first committed relationship; I was only 19 at the time, so it was definitely an adjustment period and a learning experience for me in how to set boundaries. This song is about an innocent lapse in judgement in taking that significant other for granted, and seeing the effects on how it impacted them and our relationship as a whole. This song was basically me learning that lesson in real time. It's not my strongest song, both lyrically and melodically, I would say it's a B side, at best. I always pictured myself selling this song to Faith Hill, hahah. It just seems like it's her type of vibe. 

VERSE 1: 
Did you know the other day,
I didn't mean to make you cry?
I didn't really wanna hurt you 
I saw you sitting there 
With tears in your eyes...

Pre Chorus:
What I did was really stupid 
I didn't realize what I had 
What I did was really stupid
Won't you please 
Just take me back?

I was so ungrateful 
But I needed you to leave 
To make me see how much 
I needed you to live 
I was so ungrateful 

ABOUT THE SONG
I wrote this song around 2003, I had to be 19 or 20, and was watching a friend go through the mill with a guy that I also used to date. The lyrics are basically telling the guy not to pull the same crap with her that he did with me. This song is also attributed to youth and naivety when it comes to dating and relationships. The kicker, is this dude had a girlfriend on top of all the other girls he was playing mind games with. Ugh. What a real winner.

VERSE 1:
Is there something wrong with your eyes?
​Is the sun too bright or are you just blind?
Are you seeing what you're putting her through 
I went through the same thing 
Last year with you...

PRE CHORUS:
You think you'd give up by now
I just wanna know how 

CHORUS:
You do what you do 
And get away with it 
If I called your girlfriend she'd have a fit 
I don't feel sorry for you one bit
Cuz too much is not enough for you..
Enough for you ...
You, you...

VERSE 2:
Do you know how stupid you sound
When you told me you wanted me around
Now you're doing the same exact thing...
She's probably sitting at home 
Waiting for her phone to ring...

PRE CHORUS:
You think you'd give up by now
I just wanna know how 

CHORUS:
You do what you do 
And get away with it 
If I called your girlfriend she'd have a fit 
I don't feel sorry for you one bit
Cuz too much is not enough for you..

BRIDGE:
Keep doing the things you do ...
All the time...
Yea yea yea...

CHORUS:
You do what you do 
And get away with it 
I don't feel sorry for you one bit
Cuz too much is not enough for you..
Enough for you 
Enough for you 
Yea yea yea

ABOUT THE SONG
This song was written in the winter of 2008, and it was pretty much written from a personal experience, watching a good friend go through a downward spiral of self destruction. It is basically the breaking point for me, telling her that I can no longer babysit her while she makes her poor life choice and embarrasses herself.

Verse 1:
If you wanna start
Acting like a whore
I can treat you like one
You say that’s who you are
But now you’ve gone too far
And now the damage is done

Pre Chorus:
So now you’re drunk and hating
Cuz I told the secrets that you’re faking
So get a hold of yourself
You’re going on a wreck ride
A wreck ride

Chorus:
You’re a train wreck
Gliding off the track track track
What a shame shame
You’re never coming back back back back
Train wreck baby train wreck wreck
You’re a train wreck wreck
You’re never coming back

(Train wreck, tr-trainwreck tr-train wreck, Train wreck tr-train wreck tr-train wreck)

Verse 2:
You’re an embarrassment
In this predicament
You need some glue to keep your clothes on
I will not babysit
I’ll tell you this is it, because you’re dragging me down

Pre Chorus:
Now the door is locked and closed
So get a hold of yourself
We all know what you’re doing
Girl come on you’re losing it

Chorus:
You’re a train wreck
Gliding off the track track track
What a shame shame
You’re never coming back back back back
Train wreck baby train wreck wreck
You’re a train wreck wreck
You’re never coming back
(Train wreck, tr-trainwreck tr-train wreck, Train wreck tr-train wreck tr-train wreck)

Bridge:
Now the door is locked and closed
Now that everybody knows
​
(repeat chorus 2x)

ABOUT THE SONG 
I wrote this song around late summer of 2009. I had just gotten back from an extended stay out in LA, chasing opportunity, and I think that experience came with a turning point. I think that was the point I really started to grow into my adulthood and be comfortable in knowing who I was as a young woman. I learned so many lessons that year, about what I wanted, and what I didn't want. I think I was starting to become more self aware, and I could feel my own personal growth, and that made me nostalgic about childhood. This song is not me bidding that farewell, but loving and accepting that those innocent years will always be a part of me, even as I grow up. It's just a song about life. It's about the innocent years, it's about growing pains; it's happy, sad, bittersweet, and everything in between.

Verse 1:
Remember when we were
Running wild, catching embers
Of the fireflies in the summer night

Not a worry or care in the world
Peeling skins off the cicada bugs
Beating up the boys, push them in the mud

But time flies and we all grow 

Pre Chorus:
Eating all the honeysuckles 
On the porch swing blowing bubbles
Man how I wish I was a kid again 

Chorus:
Cuz we were so careless and innocent
At make believe, we were the best
These memories are Timeless
Timeless... 

Verse 2:
Be careful what you wish for 
Not to rush these cherished or 
Fail to take in every moment 

When you're little little
Things don't make sense 
When the wise ones 
Say you'll understand
About everything 
When you're all grown up 

Fast forward to the day you wake up 

Pre Chorus:
Kissing boys and go to college
Wedding vows and grandma's knowledge
Lessons learned and everything that's in between 
Cuz... 

Chorus:
Cuz we were so careless and innocent
At make believe, we were the best
These memories are Timeless
Timeless... 
These memories are Timeless

Bridge:
Sometimes life feels like 
An express train 
It moves too fast 
But sometimes we'll never know 
If we're even on the right track 

Break:
Cuz we were so careless and innocent
At make believe, we were the best
These memories are Timeless

Chorus:
Cuz we were so careless and innocent
At make believe, we were the best
These memories are Timeless

Cuz we were so careless and innocent
At make believe, we were the best
These memories are Timeless
These memories are Timeless
These memories are Timeless

Timeless...
