LYRICS

PictureHere I am at 18 with my first guitar. My cousin Jessica and I are having some fun co-writing some lyrics.

I started writing music when I received my first guitar for my 18th birthday. I remember locking myself in my room for hours, marveling at the works of other singer-songwriters I had so dearly looked up to. Some of my favorites were Jewel, Michelle Branch, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Fiona Apple and Lisa Loeb. The list is actually pretty endless, but these were the poetic women who really shaped my love for writing in the lyrical style. Most of my songs, I played around the NJ Acoustic Open Mic circuit, and I was even fortunate enough to have been able to record a few songs  or “excerpts” of this life of mine. I hope you enjoy reading through these, as much as I did creating them.

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...
