My lyrics, in reverse chronological order.

OH MY SOUL

Oh my soul,

facing the dark,

fight until the morning

sweet light of dawn

FOREVER BABY (FT. CHRIS BLUE)

People say it’s a foolish thing

To get married when you’re young

People say you should be wild and free

And that your twenties are for fun

We’ve only known each other for a year

But I’ve never seen it so clear

I’m not afraid to love you

Forever baby

I want to spend it with you

I’m not afraid to call you

My forever baby

I want to give that name to you

I’ve been looking for the sweetest soul

To give my heart to 

I was never really sure I found it

Till the day that I met you

Cause every other relationship

Was a ship on the ground

But you make me fly

I won’t ever touch back down

FACETIME LOVER (FT. SWOOPE)

Met you at the culver

Rendezvous in California

It was clear we were meant for the stars 

So I called just to see how you are

Chorus

Don't hang up tonight

Keep you by my side

Dream of you and I

See you in the morning time

You are my 

FaceTime lover

You are my only love

Flew back home to Nashville

But my mind, my mind, my mind was in LA

I just wish I could hold you in my arms 

But at least I can see you on the phone

Chorus

Rap: 

Pick Up Girl

Yo you there what you doing

Hold up poor connection bout to ruin

The vibe bad reception I’m assuming

You was breaking up for a second so I’m guessing You’ll be back, ah there you go

I can you see you now

Can’t be close , like a million miles

In between us now

So it’s dope that this screen is how

I can keep my vow

That I won’t

ever leave without

A full battery

Unanswered calls

I know you full mad at me

Actually

Long distance

Making everything harder

So I can make it easier by keeping me a charger

And I will always make time to call and see your face my Time rolls by and I close eyes

Waiting on those iPhone chimes

My oh my you right on time

And I’m all into your essence

I fall into your blessing

Went from calling to connecting

I hope this call extends forever

So Don't

I WON’T LET YOU GO

I know, it’s not easy

You tried, oh so dearly

All that wasted love,

all those tears that flooded

Your heart, laid wide open

Head up, racing forward

But they were, One way-hearted

Left you, in the darkness

You said love,

has only let you down

but I won’t let you down

even if the cold wind blows

anchored as a stone

safe within my arms

I won’t let you go

I won’t let you go

Close your fragile eyes

rest your hand in mine

Take these healing words

let them wash you over

We have something different

Our love is worth the distance

Trust my steady voice

Take my heart it’s yours

When we’ve lived our days

And our love has grown with age

Take my fragile hand

Trust in love again  

I’M A FIRE (MATT’S SONG)

I can hear, all the words that you say but. I cannot change

I can see all the signs and where they lead, and they haunt my dreams.

And if I'm being honest

I don't even want this

The path that I've taken

Has taken me

I'm a fire burning I'm a windmill turning

I'm untamable, I am free

I'm a wave on the ocean, I'm a bird in slow motion

I fading out now, I'm going home

I'm alone, I'm the only one who knows

The way that I feel

I am grown, but I can still remember life when I was young and I was

Bold and I was happy

And I know I am loved

I've been loved so well

I wish I could give it back

Bridge:

Would you smile when you think of me?

Would you think about the good times we had

I do love you,

I'll be waiting to see you again,

JUST FINE (FREYA’S SONG)

So many nights, she listens to his song

She lies still in the quiet as his voice carries on

She’s ashamed of herself, so she dives in the pain

And when the sun would rise, her night would remain

But he told her everything was just fine

Everything would be alright in time, in time now

Told her even though it might be painful

Every storm has a rainbow to find

It was tragically fitting, a beautiful way to save a life 

Sitting alone, waiting for an angel

To pay for her sins, and the sentence she hadn’t faced

she hated herself, so she hides in the shame

But the burden was lifted, by a simple embrace 

And he told her everything was just fine

Everything will be alright in time, in time now.

And he told her there's a greater purpose, 

showed her this could be worth it if we try, if we try

NOT A VICTIM

So this is it

No turning back now

I’m caught at the crossroads

In between living and dying

But I can’t give up now

I may be wounded, I may be weak

I may be shattered on the inside

Where no one else can see

I may be cheated beyond belief

I may be all of these things

But I'm not a victim

I could choke on all my sorrows 

I could drown myself in sympathy/depression

I could burn up in anger, and go up in flames

Let the whole thing consume me

But this is my final freedom

That if my legs are broken beneath me

If the weight becomes too heavy

I can stand on my beliefs

And I’ll sing it for the broken,

I’ll sing it for the weak

I sing for our freedom

Cause we choose to be free

No I am not a victim

Cause My story isn’t done

This weight it doesn’t hold me

See I will overcome

“Keep the Faith”

Facing a mountain, that I can’t even climb.

Starting a journey, but I, don't see a sign.

I can’t do this on my own.

I’m tired of trying and the fight is gone

But a whisper comes, softly to my ear

A gentle voice, repeating words so clear

Keep The Faith

Keep The Faith

Scaling the mountain, on tired feet.

Lost the pathway, now I'm circling trees.

All these voices in my head

say there’s nothing for me, I’m better off dead

Then a whisper comes softly

To my ear

A gentle voice, reminds me

With words so clear

Keep The Faith

Keep The Faith

Just hold on for a minute just one more day

Don’t believe the voices, You’ll find your way

Keep The Faith

Keep The Faith

“Love is What Keeps Us Alive”

What if it's a dream?

What if i wake up and the pain has disappeared?

Would i be the same?

Or Would my life be changed?

Dreams are tempting to believe,

convincing at the time they happen,

but dreams don’t change reality

or the depths that I have seen

but I wish they would

Strength is a man who is broken

Hope is a friend in the night

Joy is the sun that follows the rain

Love is what keeps us alive

I said love is what keeps us alive

What if this is real?

What if I wake up and my body never heals?

Would I be ok?

Or would I lose my strength?

Days that never seem to end

this body is my prison and my sentence.

I'm tired of trying to pretend

this war that never ends isn’t happening.

Strength is a man who is broken

Hope is a friend in the night

Joy is the sun that follows the rain

Love is what keeps us alive

I said love is what keeps us alive

Somebody loves you, somebody needs you

Feeling alone in the weight of it all

Tell them you love them, or even just hold them

A simple embrace could change a heart

What if it's a dream?

What if i wake up and the pain has disappeared?

Would I be the same?

I'll never be the same.

"She Makes me want to sing"

I haven’t told her

How I’d lost the hope to love

or be a lover

I haven’t shown her,

all the tears I've had to cry

to survive

She doesn’t see my weakness

she sees a fighter

She doesn’t see my prison walls

she sees an open field

She doesn’t know that I am nervous

To hold a heart like hers in a hand like mine

It's so contagious

The way she dances to my songs

And sings along 

It's understated

The way she holds me i am tall

And strong

She doesn’t see my weakness

she sees a fighter

She doesn’t see my prison walls

she sees an open field

She doesn’t know that I am nervous

But she Makes me wanna sing

She Makes Me wanna sing (repeat)

It’s just the way She believes in me

"LIONHEART"

I have the heart of a lion

There’s a spirit inside of my bones

that makes me alive

I have a fighting desire

when the darkness is closing in

I’ll be the light

somehow when everything’s wrong

I know I’ll be alright

Just when my faith is gone

hope will arise

Somehow when i can’t move on

I find the strength to survive

Deep within me

is a Lion Heart

I may seem weak to the world

I may never be fast or as strong

as I want to be

But I am a runner on the inside

and no one can stop me now,

I’m on fire, on fire

You can do more than you know

You can do anything, anything is possible

Do you believe it?

You have the heart of a lion 

There is courage inside of your bones

Don’t you believe?

"You Have Me Now"

You have me now. All at once it seems so clear.

You have my attention. Oh, this could be something

I’ve had my questions, like where am I going? What am I doing?

But I’m gonna trust my instincts, on this one before I let you pass me by

Think I’m gonna take a take a chance now

Get to know you better

And if I don’t make it, make it happen now

Things will never change

You have me now. I think I’m starting to believe 

This feels so natural. I’ve never had it come this easy

Think I’m gonna take a take a chance now

Talk about the future,

And if I don’t make it, make it happen now

Things will never change

"January Love"

Tell me to run, Tell me to leave this city 

and move on, get gone.

Tell me to fly, Tell me that it’s gonna be

alright, that I can leave for a while

But don’t you crack a smile, Don’t look into my eyes,

Or I might stay

I can see it coming, I think I might be falling

For a January love

The timing is tragic, But this winter has a magic  

that makes my heart come undone

I guess I don’t mind, a January love

Tell me a lie, tell me it’s just gonna end like the other times

When I stayed behind

Call me a fool, tell me I’m better off without you

And to forget you

But don’t you crack a smile, Don’t look into my eyes,

Don’t you make me fall, don’t ruin it all

Or I may never leave

"It Isn't Easy"

Eighteen years of learning, and still I feel I know nothing.

If anything I learned how to fit in

But I've started this journey, searching for the truth.

I could take the next step the way I took my first and life would be easy,

Best I can explain it’s like a bird in the nest who’s too afraid to fly.

It isn’t easy, but we grow from the pain

It isn’t hard to see the risk in making a change

It isn’t common giving up what you held onto so tightly

But I’m letting go, to refine my soul

23 years pretending, to be someone else

The man I thought I should be

Guess I finally realized I didn’t know myself

I started to wonder was it all just a dream?

Was I ever really honest

It's like my eyes are opened and I see so clear,

But I never would have known

It isn’t easy, but we grow from the pain

It isn’t hard to see the risk in making a change

It isn’t common giving up what you held onto so tightly

But I’m letting go, to refine my soul

"Give Till It's Gone"

So many good things I’ve wasted. I’ve been so unsatisfied 

I’ve taken for granted the things that I have

I’m tired of feeling selfish

I’m tired of being ashamed

I’ve been learning how to love again

I did not realize, I had it wrong.

You give till it’s gone.

I’ve trusted my feelings for far too long

And they’ve always let me down

I want to be there when it’s hard

I want to help you get through the dark     

I’ve been learning how to love again

I did not realize, I had it wrong.

You give till it’s gone.

"Spinning"

I don't feel right alone here

You and me the space between

I don't feel anymore

Got me spinning round, oh got me spinning round

You're in my head, you're in my head

Got me spinning round, oh got me spinning round

You're in my head, you're in my head

Days, nights, sleep

Dreams, Oh dreams can't keep you here

Got me spinning round, oh got me spinning round

You're in my head, you're in my head

Got me spinning round, oh got me spinning round

You're in my head, you're in my head

I still think about you, I still think about you,

I still dream about you

Got me spinning round, oh got me spinning round

You're in my head, you're in my head

Got me spinning round, oh got me spinning round

You're in my head, you're in my head

"Brave Desire"

Leave the light, cause I can't take the dark of night
It's sad but I don't have the might
To make it to another break of dawn

Don't you leave, cause if you do I'll never be
Satisfied with only me
Living in this house built for two

Scared to live, but I'm scared to die
Scared to put my life on the line
I want to take a chance sometime
Balance on the wire
My Brave Desire

Store it up, Hide it with your silver cup,
Keep it from the ones you love,
Cause money is a shelter in the storm

Shy away, Cause I don't want to lose this way
I think I'll turn a shade of gray
and blend until I can't be recognized

Scared to live, but I'm scared to die
Scared to put my life on the line
I want to take a chance sometime
Balance on the wire
My Brave Desire

Cause I, have been holding on to fleeting things so
Tight, to the things I know that will not last but
I, want to open up these clenching fists and
I, want to live like I've got love to give
I'm giving in, to this Brave Desire

Learn to live
Give yourself a chance to give
Move beyond your fatal fears
And taste the freedom on the other side

"Flower"

She makes her move, I try to play it cool

But she knows I'm on the run
She's got me a hold on my heart
that I can't seem to shake
cause I've tried to let her go

She's got a flower in her hair
And a look in her eye
a beacon in the night

She's giving me peace now
And she's causing me grief now
My hopes and fears collide

Trying not to think about her
But she's running through my mind
I know she's far away

We dance through the night
To the rhythms of my mind
She's perfectly in time

She's got a flower in her hair
And a look in her eye
a beacon in the night

She's giving me peace now
And she's causing me grief now
My hopes and fears collide

I'm getting carried away in the moment

I gotta wait till the time is right

I gotta watch her walk away

Watch her go now, watch her flyyyyyy

She's got a flower in her hair
And a look in her eye
a beacon in the night

"Someday"

Draw the line
cut the tie
make the choice, tonight

lay me down
give me rest from this
trying, to fight

How can you know
If it's worth a go?
And how do you let it fade
Who's to blame,
When the feelings aren't the same?
The scales are surely off balance/tipped
I tried to keep
The sun from going down

Think it through
Check the boxes
Don't the numbers work out?

Fool me once
Fool me again,
You're a riddle I can't solve

I've thought it through
Made my choice
But thinking wouldn't make this work
Try all I can
I'm just a man,
And me is all I can do.
So I'm done convincing you
To keep the sun from going down

Someday, I won't have to prove myself
Someday I won't have to fear
No more forcing, no more remorsing
And She will be glad I'm around
But for now, I have found
I can't keep the setting sun from going down

"Love, Please Be True"

Is it something in the distance

Is it just outside your reach

Is it something that you've heard of, or

Is it something you believe

I've heard it's nothing less than perfect

Yet it causes so much pain

I've heard it changes you forever

But I still feel the same

Love please be true

I'm sick of playing games i only want to know you

Oh love please be mine

Prove to me that you are worth a lifetime

Oooooooo ——   oooh

Have you seen it in the roses
Have you seen it in the park
Have you watched it in the movies
While you wondered in the dark

Is there something that we're missing
A piece to make the puzzle whole
We've been raised with this illusion
To where the false is all we know
 

It's counter to the world

It's better than the lies that I believed before

It's nothing I deserve, but everything I need

Love, love is true

I've seen it in my father, he's poured it out like water on my soul

Live is mine, given as a gift, to last a lifetime 

"Paris, Alone"

What's Paris alone?
Just a city with walls of stone.
What's waiting in Rome?
I don't know

Without someone I love with me
I don't know if I want anything

Without someone who knows me truly,

I don't want to be alone

Lost the will to dream
Days are colder than they used to be
What's the point of starting something
If you're starting it alone

Without someone I love with me
I don't know if I want anything
Without someone who knows me truly
I don't want to be alone

Without you without you here...
 

Take a step with me

we can do this you will see
Let's see the world
You and I

Without someone I love with me
I don't know if I want anythin

Without someone who know's me truly,

I don't want to be alone. 

"Water"

I go down to the water
and look at my reflection
The current is shifting
Like the thoughts in my mind
I’m not afraid to start dreaming
of where the water might take me
The ripples start forming
and I blend into the sky

I can't handle the water
This force that moves me on
I'm helplessly drifting
Waiting for the calm
Try to swim against the water
and it starts to overtake me
There's nothing I can do now
But follow it down

Cause I am out of control
I'm holding on to nothing
And giving you everything
I will loosen this hold
Cause when I let go
That's when you take me

The past has gotten me here
Through a maze of choices
After all,Here I am
The future is out of my hands
But I see it in the distance
But I'm no longer afraid of the waves
Pressing on into the waves.

Cause I am out of control
I'm holding on to nothing
And giving you everything
I will loosen this hold
Cause when I let go
That's when you take me down the river

Take me on a journey
Hold me through the night
Lead me into everlasting
Guide me to the light
