With the face of an angel She will put your heart through hell She’ll out think ya and out drink ya But she doesn’t kiss and tell With a smile she’ll knock you out And leave you lyin’ on the floor She’s got everything a man would want and more All the boys wanna meet her All the girls wanna be her There’s no one else like her in this world Not a hair outta place And more than a pretty face She’s the all-around, American girl When she walks into a crowded room Everyone just stops and stares At her perfect hazel eyes and long, straight, auburn hair With just one look you’ll fall in love But one look just ain’t enough Keep on lookin cuz she’ll never let you touch All the boys wanna meet her All the girls wanna be her There’s no one else like her in this world Not a hair outta place And more than a pretty face She’s the all-around, American girl [brrrrrrrrrrr-ay] All the boys wanna meet her All the girls wanna be her There’s no one else like her in this world Not a hair outta place And more than a pretty face She’s the all-around, American girl Not a hair outta place And more than a pretty face She’s the all-around, American girl

Complete 03:40
Everyone has a place for love Buried down deep inside And I filled mine with cheap regrets And anything I could find But nothing seemed to ever fit No matter how hard I tried But then you came along And now I realize You are the one that I want You are the one that I need You fill the empty hole Deep inside my heart And like a missing puzzle piece You make me feel complete Someone better pinch me Cuz this all seems so surreal I saw and felt things all around I’d never thought I’d see or feel The sun seems to shine brighter I can hear birds sing in the sky And now I can’t stop smiling And you’re the reason why Oh you are the one that I want You are the one that I need You fill the empty hole Deep inside my heart And like a missing puzzle piece You make me feel complete My life’s a crazy picture But you fit right in the frame You make it look so beautiful With your angel face I never have to wonder If dreams do come true All the proof I need is you Oh you are the one that I want You are the one that I need You fill the empty hole Deep inside my heart And like a missing puzzle piece You make me feel complete

Lonely Blues 04:24
I wonder if she’s just like me All alone at home I know that she doesn’t love But I just can’t let it go And I wonder if at all She’d pretend it’s still the same So I pick up the phone and begin to say I know this is all a big mistake And I know it’s getting really late But it would be alright If you stayed with me tonight And we can wash our lonely blues away I wonder if he’s just like me All alone at home It isn’t love I’m lookin’ for Just those arms to keep me warm Told him it was over I should just let it die But I’ll pick that phone every time I know this is all a big mistake And I know it’s getting really late But it would be alright If you stayed with me tonight And we can wash our lonely blues away After our passions are satisfied And the fire has burned out We both pick up our dignity And clothes up off the ground We both swear to each other That this will be the end But I know you know It’ll happen again It’s always one big mistake And it’s always getting really late But it’s always alright If you stayed with me tonight And we can wash our lonely blues away We can wash our lonely blues away We can wash our lonely blues away

Twenty three on the edge of a breakdown Lost on a dead end road I thought for sure by now I’d have my whole life figured out But here I lay strung out and stoned Just staring at the walls Wasting away And my mind’s spinnin’ over With crimson and clover And I can’t remember Is it still December? This road that I followed Has left me so hollow And now it’s time in my life I’m tryin’ to find My peace of mind Everyone’s world is changing around me But mine just stays the same I watch as all their dreams come true But I’m still on the chase Stuck in this revolving door It’s the same thing every day I feel so left behind And my mind’s spinnin’ over With crimson and clover And I can’t remember Is it still December? This road that I followed Has left me so hollow And now it’s time in my life I’m tryin’ to find My peace of mind I’ve gotta get out of this recurring nightmare But I can’t seem to wake up Pressure's got be paralyzed Too afraid to make the jump I told myself I’d make a change But the clock laughs in my face Sayin’: “Boy, you’re running out of time”

I think the worst is over I found my open door The stars are shining brighter Than they ever have before It’s taken me some time But now I feel alive My feet can’t even touch the ground I’m higher than cloud nine And nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Tonight Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Tonight I said goodbye to worry Good riddance to my past Every day that passes Is better than the last I finally found myself Quit tryin’ to be someone else It’s like I’m invincible I’m on top of the world! And nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Tonight Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Tonight Is this for real It’s too good to be true Things were dark for song long But the light is coming through I knew that I could get here I just had to believe Now I’m finally free And nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Tonight Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Nothin’ can bring me down Tonight

Lullaby 03:10
Over the mountains And under the stars You took me by the hand And stole my broken heart And after our first kiss In my heart I always knew The only girl I needed In my life was you So now before we say goodnight I will sing you one last lullaby Far across the ocean And beyond the seven seas I’ve been around the world And seen all I could see But I love that you are Right here next to me There’s nowhere else on earth I would rather be So now before we say goodnight I will sing you one last lullaby As the years go by And life begins to fade I just hope our love Will always stay the same But if my eyes should close And I fall asleep I’ll be with you forever If only on your dreams So now before we say goodnight I will sing you one last lullaby

about

After 8 years of writing and recording songs, Finally seemed an apt title for my first release. Drawing from personal experiences with love, infatuation, loneliness, and triumph, Finally covers as much ground lyrically as it does sonically. You’ll hear big, anthemic, guitar-driven choruses, gentle piano ballads, and a range of influences that span from Green Day to John Mayer to The Beatles. Ultimately, my hope in releasing these songs is that they might become a familiar soundtrack to the ins and outs of the seemingly insignificant moments that make everyday life what it is.
