“Incomplete”
completed on 11.13.11

something’s moving inside me
tugging at my heart strings
i can feel you in the tear running down my cheek
you’re in the air that my lungs breathe
and the reason i’ve been feeling incomplete

you’re the books on the shelf just out of reach
you’re the change i leave under my seat
you’re the air i absent-mindedly breathe
you’re the first thing i take for granted
but you’re still reaching out to me

i always put myself first
it’s the most unhealthy relationship
i listen to all the wrong things
while you’re always supporting me
i’ve written off friends that speak to me
as rarely as i reach out to you
yet you haven’t given up on me

i know you’re always listening
so please accept my apology
let the world see your love through my smile
make me a better person
so i can be part of the change this world needs

“Rochester”
completed on 10.24.11

staring out my window
from a place i can finally call my home
the chill in the air
makes my heart race
makes me feel alive
i feel wrapped in hope
so much to make me smile and believe
things are starting to go my way

my things are packed
i’ve left that city and i’m not looking back
i’m counting down the miles
and i feel so much closer to my destiny

brand new town
but i won’t feel alone
because i have my family
i can see the opportunities
finally within my reach

no more detours
no more feeling unsafe
nothing but green lights
for me to find my way
i’ve got friends to make
and a career to create
nothing to hold me back
here’s to a new day
a new way
and a new outlook on life

“Emergency”
written on 10.24.11

red and white flickering in the moonlight
i need you like it’s an emergency
hear your voice like the sirens approaching me
without you i can feel my heart shutting down
i want to feel you circulate inside me
’cause i know you’re the drug keeping me alive

let your love trickle in from the IV
you’re a perfect match to what i need
breathe you in deep like oxygen
feel your support like a splint holding me in place
i put my faith in you to take me anywhere

feel your touch gently run across my skin
watch your breath make my lungs rise again
sense your heart making my pulse skip a beat
stunned by your kiss shocking me back to life

my signs and symptoms are all indicating
i’m better when i’m with you
without you i’m cold and catatonic
and you’re the only medication i need
’cause you’re the only thing that makes me feel alive

“Slipping Away”
written on 9.16.11

there’s a part deep inside me
that feels completely incomplete
drowning under water
and there’s no one to grab my hand
no one should ever feel alone

a smile is what they expect from me
so i’ll fake it so they don’t see my insecurity
love is supposed to make you feel whole
but chasing it has me falling down an endless hole

i can’t swim my way out
so i drink to stay afloat
but now i’m in a sea of emptiness
too confused to know my way out

it’s amazing how day after day
people come and fade away
so few choose to stay
and give their heart away

i’m seeing life in a darker way
and i can’t swim away
i just want to know you care
but no one has time to spare
so i pray for a brighter day

turn the music up
put another shot down
i’ll give this one away
to focus on a brand new day
and dream that happiness will come my way

love never fades
but it slips away
love never fades
but it s l i p s  a w a y. . .

“Kate”
written 9.11.11

he stares at you
but only looks skin deep
he talks to you
like you’re his property
he holds your hand
but just to keep you within reach
he tells you he can do better
because he can’t comprehend the gem that he’s got

he likes you better wearing makeup
while i admire the sparkle in your eyes
he drools at the thought of you in a bikini
while i just want to see you smile
he cares more about what he gets
while i would do anything for you

the only thing i want from you
is for you to believe in yourself
the only thing i’ll take from you
is the joy you bring to my life
the only thing i’ll tell you
is i’m always here to cheer you up

i see your inner beauty
i watch the passion in your eyes
i look past what’s on the surface
’cause i care more what’s in your heart
i’ll be part of your foundation
’cause i want to build your self-esteem up

“The Best is Yet to Come”
completed on 7.20.11

i can’t get enough of your smile
and i can’t get enough of your laugh
i love when i look in your eyes
i see all that we could be

i picture our first date
the one where i stay up all night hoping
we’ll end up holding hands
and i dream of our first kiss
the same one i’ll feel when we’re dressed in all white
dancing throughout the night
i look forward to all the memories we’ll share together
to the life and laughter we’ll create with one another
that’s all i’ll ever need

my body is here
but i’m already mentally there
to the place where
i’m on your couch
sitting next to the one that i love
i don’t have you yet
that’s why the best is yet to come

i watch the joy in your eyes
as you see everything for the first time
i watch you take your first step
with my hands right by your side
i’ll tuck you in at night
kiss you and be your nightlight
you’ll grow up so fast
but you won’t ever have to ask
’cause i’ll always be there for you

my body is here
but i’m already mentally there
to the place where
i’m on our couch
sitting between the ones that  i love
i don’t have that yet
that’s why i know the best is yet to come

“Chase Your Dreams”
written on 7.14.11

another day begins and fades
you’ve watched the sun rise and fall once again
just to find another day feeling lost within
but one day you’ll wake up to a better life
where the pain of trying fades away

some days the hope in your dreams
is suffocated by the same old routine
the days seem to pass so slow
and you’re unsure of where to go
but one day you’ll wake up to a better life
and the ache of trying has faded away

you’ve sacrificed some things in the short term
to earn it all in the end
so chase your dreams ’til you’re exhausted
then get up and do it again
because one day you’ll wake to a better life
with the pain of trying faded away

“Three Smiles”
written on 6.24.11

you watch him slam the door
as your tears stream to the floor
you look back at a million warning signs
but you desperately want that fairy tale
he’s crushed your hope, stepped on your heart
but he’s the one who lost out

you deserve someone who wants both girls on his lap
who lights the candles twice so each one gets to blow them out
takes a mental picture every time he sees the three of you smile
proud of the life that he has

but you can always rely on me
remember there is so much life to live
and you have so much love left to give
turn up taylor’s fearless and believe that things will change
and if ever you need a sunrise
i’ll be there to brighten your day

because you deserve someone who wants both girls on his lap
kisses their knees every time that they fall
and dreams of the days when they’re tall
reads them just one more story ’til they’re finally asleep
proud of the love that he has

“Forever Young”
completed on 6/5/11

they say that you’re too young
to know what love’s about
but you believe with your whole heart
he’s earned the right to steal your heart
i wish that everyone loved like you
’cause it would make this world a better place

they say that they’re concerned
that they have learned more of life’s lessons
that they have your best interests
saying you need more time to grow up
but when every day could be your last
they need to spend a day in your shoes
because you treasure every moment
and believe that love should guide your life

and they may never understand you
but i support you because i’m a dreamer too
don’t ever let this world harden you
or else you will think the way that they do

you have faith in happy endings
and that’s what makes you unique
i would give everything i have
to live the love that you do

“Off Your Couch”
written on 5.26.11

you have me on the phone
trying to play psychologist
telling me i’m not happy
saying i don’t know what i want
but i’m not interested in playing this charade
i’m not one for planning the future
but i’ll tell you what makes my heart beat
and everything that i will be

i will march to the tempo of the music inside me
every step believing in happy endings
and my heart will beat to the pulse of my future love’s heart
and while she’ll hold my hand and my heart
i’ll never stray too far from my friends and family
we’ll strike out to explore the great outdoors
to uncover all the beauty this world holds

so i’m getting off your couch
i’d rather listen to the instincts inside of me
i have too much passion to share
and i’m not content to watch the world pass me by
