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.

Green Eyed Boy Blues

ABOUT THE SONG
This is the first blues song in my repertoire and it was kind of inspired by “Oh Darling” by The Beatles. I wrote it in the summer of 2008 after a fling with a guy who was still heartbroken over another girl. It’s basically me lamenting over that, and letting him know that I would be there for him throughout his heartbreak for her, even if I could't completely fill her shoes. One thing I noticed in retrospect about this song is that there isn't really a recognizable hook or chorus and I'm not really sure that it needs one, which is the only song that I have ever written that I have felt that way about. I like it the way it is...

Verse 1:

His heart could use a little fixin’
because I want it for my own
You think that I would learn my lesson
Familiar hearts are where I find myself home

Chorus:
And baby sometimes I know I am not that smart
but if theres one thing that I know
It’s that I’ll never make you cry, o no
Let’s take this one day at a time
So you can be mine

Verse 2:
His soul could use a little lovin’
His jaded heart wears him away
And if the pushin comes to shovin
I’d take his heart because she threw it away

Chorus:
And baby sometimes I know I am not that smart
but if theres one thing that I know
It’s that I’ll never make you cry, o no
Let’s take this one day at a time
So you can be mine

(Instrumental Break)

Chorus:

And baby sometimes I know these things fall apart
but if theres one thing that I know
I’ll never break your heart, o no
You can mark my word right from the very start
Until the day she wants you back…
I’ll stay….
