Something About That Girl
Remember that girl you never should have liked? In fact, looking back, there doesn’t seem to be one redeeming quality about her? Okay…well maybe one. This song’s about her.
People try to bring me down, and that’s okay. This song’s all about rising against adversity. When $h*t gets thrown at you, accept it. Embrace it. Defy it. There’s always a way to achieve, and as long as you don’t sweat the petty stuff, and just pet the sweaty stuff, anything is possible.
Big Shot Baby
I am so ridiculously blessed to have Kidd Kraddick and ALL OF YOU rooting for me. I often fantasize about the moment when every single label comes back and begs me to sign another conventional “sign-your-life-away” deal. This song is born from that hypothetical moment. Imagine all their faces…
Closer To Heaven
This song is about addiction. I’ve tried to reveal things about myself in the lyrics while also keeping it universal enough to just be a love song…which it also is. If Heaven is perfection, and someone brings you close…sing this to them.
She Comes Alive
I. Love. Sleep.
Just Like I Told You
Last week someone asked me where I get my motivation from. She said, it must be easy when so many people are encouraging you. It’s interesting. Encouragement is incredible. It makes you want to keep going when you know you’re connecting with people. But to me, it’s not the people who told me I could do it that put the fire in me; it’s the people who told I couldn’t. This song’s to all of them, ‘cos I always told them I’d be back. Squashing dreams, no matter how young or old the dreamer is, is the most evil thing anyone can do. Reality is a bad excuse for giving up. Imagine the world if people hadn’t dreamed. Scary. (This song was inspired by an email about a student in college whose father wanted him to pursue a conventional career path; the kid was okay with that but just wanted a bit of time to pursue something of passion. Sadly, his dad said he couldn’t. The kid’s plan was noble though and awesome and when he asked for advice, I told him that if he actually achieves what he’s set on doing, his dad will be the proudest man alive. Shooting down someone else’s excitement way too easy and way too cruel.)
This song is about longing and lust. The guy in it literally can’t go on without the girl he’s singing to. She’s the song he can’t get out of his head.
Lets Go
This is about a guy and a girl who want each other (or so the guy thinks) but the girl won’t admit it. They’ve been playing games for weeks and it’s killing him. She teases him day in and day out, and he needs a freakin kiss.
Wait
Another song inspired by an email from a girl who’s “not stalking” her boyfriend but just can’t get over him. “Everything just feels the same,” she said, “And if nothing else, I’m just gonna wait for him, right here on his corner.”
Wanna Be Everything
I love JC. He is better than both you and me combined in every possible way!!! But seriously, he’s so cool…and he wants to be everything…and so do I
The Way
This song is about the perfect woman.
Carry You
This is about an alcoholic exgirlfriend who I was tired of carrying home every night. Not my current girlfriend who almost never drinks!!! Love you Laura, don’t be mad at me!!!
