February Album Writing Month: 4 New Songs!

I'm doing February Album Writing Month again this year. I've written six songs so far this month, four with videos.

It's not too late to join in!




The way your laugh
always stands out in a crowd,
the way you always say my name,
so quiet yet so loud,
I wish these little things
could be enough for love.

We both know the way it goes,
this kind of thing,
a flash so bright and then the night,
it comes.
I wish I had a way to keep the light on
just this once.

If I was a different girl,
I'd just tell you,
but if I was a different girl,
I wouldn't have to be alone,
alone.




did you know when you go
there is always part of me that stays
just a little bit longer

did you know when you go
there is always part of me that stays
just a little bit stronger

and if you're looking for a way
to save this sinking ship
I'd recommend
I'd recommend

if you go,
you should know
there is always
part of you that stays




wake up, sandy
won't you join us for awhile
we never see you smile anymore

all your little things
your coats, your hats, your diamond rings
they're packed away in boxes on the floor
it's like you don't live here anymore

wake up, sandy
sunlight's coming through the blinds
you've still got the time to change

all your little things
your pain, your grief, your jealous rage
they're packed away in boxes on the floor
you know those things don't live here anymore

wake up, sandy
won't you join us for awhile
we never see you smile
anymore




You never believed in me,
but it's okay.
You never believed in me,
but I'll find my way.
You thought I was small
and I was holding you down.
Well, maybe I was.
