She Is 04:54
She is starring in the mirror, and welling full of tears And so she’s not quite sure if she is beautiful So she doesn’t really fit in, the status quo size dress So she thinks of herself, as a little bit too big And I tried to tell her, and I tried to let her know So I wrote this song for her, cause I want her to know That she is more than she knows And she is beautiful No matter what others might happen to say A “size five” is not big Going about her day, who cares what all of those stupid boys say Because they don’t know what beauty is, it’s what you have and what you are And I tried to tell her, and I tried to let her know So I wrote this song for her, cause I want her to know That she is more than she knows And she is beautiful No matter what others might happen to say A “size five” is not big

New Day 04:25
It is time to start a new chapter in life Dropping the old to hold the new, the old to hold the new I step outside to start a new day As the wind hits my face with a breeze of embrace I don’t know where these feet will take me But I’ll follow them quickly with surprise in mind Cause it is time to start a new chapter in life Dropping the old to hold the new, the old to hold the new I hope that life will take us on a journey And keep our thoughts and dreams alive I know sometimes we’ll take a look back But without regret we’ll begin a new day Cause it is time to start a new chapter in life Dropping the old to hold the new, the old to hold the new Drop the old, to hold the new. . .

The smiles you give to everyone Lets us have a better day And the words that you say make me dance around All I wanna do is dance for you The clothes that you’ve made will show them all That you will be a famous designer one day Dreams come true I know they do I’m living proof I’m playing the guitar for you . . . I’m playing the guitar for you. Every note that I play, I play for my baby She’s the song in my head everyday The people around say we’re pretty cute When we do the things, the things that make us laugh Cause day or night, it doesn’t matter when Spending time with you is the only thing that’s true . . . Spending time with you Under the stars or under the sun It doesn’t matter where we are as long as we have some fun As time goes by we’ll have some fun Like picnics on a Sunday afternoon Long walks in parks or we could see the lights And wish this night, and wish this night will never end . . . I wish this night would never end So many things we could do with just an hour or two So listen love, I need more time with you The smiles you give to everyone Lets us have a better day And the words that you say make me dance around All I wanna do is dance for you The shoes that I walk in I’d love to share with you, I wanna do everything with you I love the way you smile at me, baby I love the things you always say to me.

Until Today 03:34
Her color oh so subtle, a shade not many see But when it comes full frontal, makes me really want to be The best friend she could ever have, and not exactly like a brother or a dad And after all I’ve seen, she means so much to me We’ve been through so, so much It hardly feels like just twelve months And baby the last two Have been the best ones yet Every time I see her face, her warm embrace takes my breath away I love the way she’ll where no.. make up she’s a natural beauty And from her delicate Scarlet J lips, she’ll talk and talk and talk and I love it Officially she’s now my lady, I’m glad I didn’t wait until today We’ve been through so, so much It hardly feels like just twelve months And baby the last two Have been the best ones yet I love it when I’m with her

Hey There 03:59
Hey there, what’s your name there? I’d like to spend some time with you I said hey there, what’s your name there? I’d like to spend some time with you I love the way your hair looks at five o’clock in the Arizona sunset light Ever since I met you I’ve had you by my side, so close to me I can’t lose sight . . . I can’t loose sight I said hey there, know your name there I love the time I spend with you I said hey there, know your name there I love the time I spend with you We stay up through the night on your bedroom floor, while we talk ourselves to sleep Your words so pure and kind they make me fall in love, you make my day with the words you say . . . The words you say I said hey there, know your name there I love the time I spend with you I said hey there, know your name there I love the time I spend with you

Well I thought the girl was hurting, since they ended it again And I figured she’d need some time, and she could use a friend Then a friend of mine was interested, did not know what to do Him being smooth he started making a move, so I choose not to pursue I hate this kind of thing, you care for a friend and what do they bring But the occasional suffering Well it’s apart of life, sometimes you laugh and sometimes you cry And you wonder why, wonder why Now they’re falling for each other, ever since I’ve been feeling down I tried to warn her about him, hope her heart don’t break again For the sake of her and for the sake of him, I hope it works out for the best of them That’s the way things will happen, I hope I haven’t lost a friend I hate this kind of thing, you care for a friend and what do they bring But the occasional suffering Well it’s apart of life, sometimes you laugh and sometimes you cry And you wonder why, you wonder why

I wake up in the morning and I start to sing I got a song in my head constantly The sounds of the world inspire me to play I started playing ‘bout six years ago And now it’s become the only thing I know From the keys to the stings I’ll be making my way home Every little thing we see Every little thing we hear Every little thing we say Is our rock and roll From the words we write To the chords we play What’s left is what we call Our rock and roll The rhythm in my bones, feet and soul There’s no telling where it’ll let me go With one foot in front of the other I’ll be traveling down that road My life’s an open book waiting to be written But the words on the pages will come from within Ink on the front and back spreading the lyrics of my life

Fly 03:39
I’m falling from a tall tree I caught a glimpse the world will never see I’m falling fast; the air is cool All I wish, is to fly. . . We'll fly Fly high with you by my side Never let go till we reach the sky I’ll fly high with you by my side I’ll never let go till we reach the sky The memories in my head Things we’ve done; words you’ve said I wanna keep, let me keep But for now, we'll fly. . . We’ll fly Fly high with you by my side Never let go till we reach the sky I’ll fly high with you by my side I’ll never let go till we reach the sky

There’s a girl who walks with me and we swing back and forth Through the day, we talk and talk, laughing ‘bout things we’ve done You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful girl Happy to spend the time with you You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful girl So happy we met I saw you in the parking lot and I thought what a girl So I asked you and picked you up and had the time of my life You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful girl Happy to spend the time with you You’re beautiful, you’re beautiful girl So happy we met

I throw on my black leather coat, and walk outside into the cold Air upon my face that brings the since of a new day coming Big black clouds start to fill the sky, it’s days like these that make my wonder why People don’t believe in the God above and how he gave us this world with his amazing love We decide it’s time to ditch class cause a beautiful day is gonna be gone fast We take a walk just two best friends, the rain comes down but we let it in We walk down fourth past the old thrift store and down the underpass that comes before Crumbling walls and an old street sign and an old hippie that offered us a dime Come on, come on get up let’s go, and step into something that you don’t know And take a walk to the other side of town Get off your ass and on your feet and take a stroll down an unknown street And don’t be afraid to break your old routine Foolin’ around Chicago music shop in the music graveyard they got on top And down the street to the new Tooley’s where we grab a cup of some hot coffee And looking up at the Fox Theater we can’t help but stop and sit and wonder How many people will one day see our name in bright lights upon the big marquee Come on, come on get up lets go, and step into something that you don’t know And take a walk to the other side of town Get off your ass and on your feet and take a stroll down an unknown street And don’t be afraid to break your old routine/And buy a hungry guy something to eat Come on, come on get up let’s go

RunTown San Diego, California

Armed with an acoustic guitar, piano and an assortment of other instruments they soon had enough material for a full length album. Their sound is a unique blend of shared vocals, harmonies, and instrumentation. ... more
