I Will Stay 04:26
This is scary for me I don't know if this is how I should be this is scary for us I don't know if you are really in love so I stay and lie away at night listen to your heart beat next to mine wanna say those words when words won't suffice but I feel those words inside of me and I'm waiting here so patiently so tell me when's the right time If I told you that I loved you would it freak you out If I told you that I loved you would it freak you out freak you out If I told you that I loved you would make you stay let you know when things get tough that it won't make me go away I will stay It's on the tip of my tongue all the words already there to be sung the melodies write themselves wanna share them with you but I need your help so I stay and lie away at night listen to your heart beat next to mine wanna say those words when words won't suffice but I feel those words inside of me and I'm waiting here so patiently so tell me when's the right time? If I told you that I loved you would it freak you out If I told you that I loved you would it freak you out freak you out If I told you that I loved you would make you stay let you know when things get tough that it won't make me go away I will stay I will stay It's on the tip of my tongue all the words already there to be sung

I want your words to show me I want your arms to hold me I'm like Augustine I cry sometimes Searching for God looking for signs And I feel directionless here Around these parts we learn to read and write but at college they don't teach you how to sleep alone at night my bed is getting cold and these feelings are getting old but I know that I'm not alone On Mount Ventoux On top of Mount Ventoux Ventoux I'm here with you I made these words so take them Although you will erase them I'm like my father I cry sometimes Looking for love and Jesus Christ And I Still feel directionless here Around these parts we learn to read and write but at college they don't teach you how to sleep alone at night this bed is getting cold and these feelings are getting old but I know that I'm not alone On Mount Ventoux On top of Mount Ventoux Ventoux I'm here with you I wrote you songs I wrote you poems I did all that I could and you still left me alone I gave you all I could love I sold my soul how could that be enough? how could that not be enough for you? Around these parts we learn to read and write but at college they don't teach you how to sleep alone at night this bed is getting cold and my feelings are getting old but I know that I'm not alone but I know that I'm not alone yeah I know that I'm not alone

The Waves 02:50
I've been trying to be better for you baby but the waves they've been calling me back lately I've been trying to get better for me lately but the waves have been whispering to me baby why don't you come by the river and wash yourself with grace cuz I can't feel you anyway why don't you try come down by the river so I can finally be saved I've been alive for centuries it seems sometimes water floods in when I close my eyes I've been alive I've been breathing underwater like a fish The ocean sings just let the waves in why don't you come by the river and wash yourself with grace cuz I can't feel you anyway why don't you try come down by the river so I can finally be saved Your body's like the river and I'm letting you in I'm letting you consume me and it's keeping me afloat I've been trying to be better for you baby but the waves have been singing to me lately

Hobbes says that were like animals If we had no rules That we'd turn and kill each other If we wanted to But I don't think that were like that I think that maybe that's just you I don't know how to handle what you're telling me right now You're in your state of nature baby I'm in my state of nature baby We got out swords out and our fanged teeth We got the moral ambiguity Of Angel on season one of Buffy Locke says that were cooperative We intrinsically wanna make amends So why do we feel like Something has to end?? Just talk to me baby we can figure this out It's the key to this Locke We don't have to shout I don't know how to handle what you're telling me right now You're in your state of nature baby I'm in my state of nature baby We got out swords out and our fanged teeth We got the moral ambiguity Of Angel on season one of Buffy We don't know what's right and wrong here In this space between love and fear We're in our state of nature baby We're in our state of nature baby Let's put our swords down and file our teeth And instead of overanalyzing it Watch some damn season one of Buffy

about

I recorded these songs in my dorm room at SUNY Purchase from 2012-2014. The Waves and Capsized were recorded to submit for my audition to the Studio Composition Program. The others were recorded as part of my youtube series "Jammie Jams" (rip?)
