about

I've found that when I'm sad, or despondent, I have a lot to say and my creative energy flows...perhaps out of necessity. The other time it works that way is when I'm extremely happy, and the gap in my writing has been because I was stuck solidly in between the two extremes for a while...pleasantly humming along, feeling ok. It won't be a surprise where this one came from, and that someone special inspired it.

lyrics

Didn't wanna feel this way
But you stood there with that smile
And your green eyes staring back under the stars
Don't wanna be wrong to say
That I've been wanting you for a while
So don't think about it long or go too far

It don't matter what I say
You keep taking away my doubt
And every broken heart just led to you
I didn't start out needing this
I had it all figured out
But I'm falling and there ain't nothing you can do

I can't say what's in my heart
Without making a fool of me
God knows I've said enough to leave a mark
Baby if it hurts till I confess
But I'll risk it all to see
So don't tell me there's no chance I'll fall apart

It don't matter what I say
You keep taking away my doubt
And every broken heart just led to you
I didn't start out needing this
I had it all figured out
But I'm falling and there ain't nothing you can do
