“Spotlight”
completed on 1.20.12

all the world’s a crowd
’cause you’re the only one i see
i know you shine so bright even without
the spotlights pointed at you on stage

don’t skip any of your songs
i want to hear every single line
to know all that’s on your mind
so i can understand your melody

please don’t let the curtain fall
i’ll do whatever it takes for an encore
anything to spend more time with you
’cause you’re the music that my heart beats to

everyone adores you
you have fans everywhere you go
they all scream for your attention
but i just want to make you feel loved
long after the spotlight fades

(chorus)
just sing me one more line
i swear i’ll sing it back to you every time
hoping you wrote it just for me
just sing me one more line
i’m praying it’s a sign
that your heart was meant for me

“Peter and the Rockstar”
written on 1/11/09

his voice echoes in her ears
sweet and sexy a-sharp melody
whispering in her ear the words she knows so well
body glistening in the lighting symphony
notes that reverberate within her bones

as she sings along word for word
they can make her sway to the chorus of the song
but they can’t shake your heart the way that i could
my simple words don’t follow a rhythm
and won’t make you dance the night away
they won’t parade around on stage
but were spoken just for you

and peter shakes his head
hurt and confused how their melodies wisp her away
and sighs knowing he is just a simple man
but he knows that as the stage lights fade and amps unplug
his words will be much louder
touch her much deeper, leave her much warmer
’cause his words were meant just for her
