Two Hearts 03:18
lyrics
buy track
We stroll Side by side You and I, You and I Two hearts beating fast as hell So alive with hope Thinkin' we just might Stay up talking 'Til the morning light We're still Side by side You and I, You and I Two hearts comfortable as one It's always been so good To picture you in white God, I hope that You say yes tonight The days go fast Got to make them last Commit to love with your heart open wide Where this goes we decide We lay Side by side You and I, You and I Two hearts soon to be three I've never been so scared But I know we'll be alright Cannot wait to Welcome this new life The years go fast Got to make them last Commit to love with your heart open wide Where this goes we decide Now here we are Side by side You and I, you and I One heart beats where two once did And even though apart You'll always be my bride Now my angel You will be my guide Life goes fast Got to make each moment last Commit to love with your heart open wide Where this goes we decide Yes, where this goes we decide

Falling 03:08
lyrics

They say Time can erase Empty words And broken dreams But the longer you're away The less I can erase How dare I suggest you were wrong For giving up on what we found I'm desperate for somebody strong To pick me up because I'm down Our game Was easy to play Trust my beating heart inside of your hands Watch you run away It was never your turn So you never got hurt How dare I suggest you were wrong For giving up on what we found I'm desperate for somebody strong To pick me up because I'm down This would be easier If only I could turn off how it feels To lose you with no clue why How dare I suggest you were wrong For giving up on what we found I'm desperate for somebody strong To pick me up because I'm down

Anything At All 03:57
lyrics

Wide awake 5 a.m. and I've already left my skin Room so still Just the sound of my heart as it pounds with anticipation I'll be next to you when you wake up And I'll cover you when your eyes close Shelter you when the rains fall Don't you worry about anything at all Our storyline ran through my mind all night I never grow tired of you Just one to go But an hour passing slow is more than my heart can take I'll be next to you when you wake up And I'll cover you when your eyes close Shelter you when the rains fall Don't you worry about anything at all You and I So much light Of course I'll spin around the world with you Just hold on tight From tonight We might get dizzy I'll be next to you when you wake up And I'll cover you when your eyes close Shelter you when the rains fall Don't you worry about anything at all

The Baby Song 02:53
lyrics
buy track
I'll teach you how to walk You'll stumble around Learn how to fall And if you scrape your knees You gotta get back up, kid Though the fear disagrees For the nights you wake up scared Not to worry I'm quite well prepared To place one thousand stars On your ceiling Because they glow in the dark I cannot wait to meet you And hold your tiny hand I cannot wait to meet you And learn to be your Dad When you seek my expertise With questions about The birds and the bees I'll know the time has come To awkwardly tell you Where babies are from Afternoons we'll read The greatest adventures Your mind can see I'll walk you home from school Until you tell me That I'm no longer cool I cannot wait to meet you And hold your tiny hand I cannot wait to meet you And learn to be your Dad

Lover's Dream 03:07
lyrics
buy track
At the waterfall On the brink of all we were Had a love so tall Emptied rivers, dried the streams Was it all my lover's dream At the mountain's peak Did I really speak those words Had a doubt so weak I filled the meadows, moved the breeze Was it all my lover's plea So here I am now Looking back to all we were Got a love so tall 'Cause you it seems are all I need So will you be my lover's dream Will you be my lover's dream Will you be my lover's dream

Begin Again 02:35
lyrics

Same record's on Though it's not made a sound Since you last came around Bein' left ain't like leavin' You know it tore me up You might have heard ya' left me bleeding Yes, there've been others But when the needle drops down Suddenly I'm drowning I want to begin again To make the words new I want to begin again With the songs that remind me of you It's a funny thing about time My anger has passed When I was sure it would last We share this city Though you barely come to mind When the boulevards are busy And yes, there'll be others But when that needle drops down Suddenly I'm drowning I want to begin again To make the words new I want to begin again With the songs that remind me of you The volume comes up And I can't turn you down I buried these melodies But they won't stay underground I want to begin again To make the words new I want to begin again With the songs that remind me of you

If This Is 02:54
lyrics

Jumped in the river With you and your friends Bright stars budding Where horizons suspend Sat on the canyon On a rock built of pride where I Heard things I wanted And said we should try If this is what love is Then I've never had it If this is what life is Then you are the transit I just want to make you The one I cannot break through If this is what love is Then I just want to love you We are both broken In our own way But understanding Those difficult days I know I've met you As some other soul Buried in fortune My pieces made whole now If this is what love is Then I've never had it If this is what life is Then you are the transit I just want to make you The one I cannot break through If this is what love is Then I just want to love you I've gotta know everything I wish I knew it now I lock myself up As freedom abounds You said you'd been waiting But life's for the taking Oh, please take me too Now I know love is you If this is what love is Then I've never had it If this is what life is Then you are the transit I just want to make you The one I cannot break through If this is what love is Then I just want to love you

about

   I’m thrilled my music made its way into your hands and ears! Thank you for listening! I hope you enjoy this album as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it.

   I’ve had a long relationship with music. I started singing at age 9 in the school choir and jumped into piano lessons that same year. At 17, I begged my parents for a guitar and taught myself to play, learning the riffs to songs by my musical hero Dave Matthews. I wanted to tour the world and play to thousands of people every night, too. This dream became my focus and I spent countless hours working on my craft to achieve it. 

   I found the love of my life and married her when I was 24. Greatest decision I’ve made. It has fulfilled me in ways I couldn’t possibly have imagined when I was younger. 8 years into marriage, we excitedly decided to expand our family, and in May of 2015 we welcomed our beautiful baby boy into the world. At that moment, everything changed. A great shift occurred, and a snapshot of my priorities now reveals a very different picture. I feel a deep responsibility to nurture the hopes and dreams of this tiny person we are raising. And I realize what a beautiful gift my own parents gave me; they’ve always supported me and have constantly shown their belief in my ambitions. When my son arrived, I was overwhelmed with a sense of how important it is to pass that gift along. 

   I love writing and playing music, but I spent the majority of my late 20’s chasing my career and becoming somewhat disillusioned with the industry. Eventually, the need for constant self-promotion made me lose sight of why I was drawn to creating music in the first place. The pure love of writing and performing. The opportunity to express how I process the world. I created this album with absolutely no expectations of how it might further my career or open doors for me. I’m not concerned with those thoughts anymore. I’m simply thrilled to have had the chance to go into a nice studio, record these songs, and get them into your hands. 

   So, again, thank you. I know how chaotic life can be, and I’m fully aware of how much you have competing for your attention because I’m pulled in a million different directions every day, too. I hope you’re able to find 22 minutes to sit down with this album and also that the songs resonate with you. I’m grateful for your time and want you to know how happy I am to share this new life with you.
