Lyrics

Verse 1

Who are you We just met 

I’m curious and yes you’ve peaked my interest 

I’ll risk it it cuz I’m interested 

yes I’m risking it

I don’t wanna get hurt this time 

but I want to keep trying to find 

someone to share a piece of mine 

in my life time

Prechorus

Share some piece of mine

It may take a lifetime to find you

My piece of mine

You fill my darkness with light

Chorus

You give me peace of mind (piece of mine)

No holding back

All my sides

I share everything this time (share everything)

My emptiness fills will light

You fill me you fill me you fill me

Verse 2

Yes I know I am a mess

Far from perfect I confess

I keep trying to be selfless I’ll do my best 

but I’m a mess

 

And I will catch you when you fall

Be there with you through it all

So when you need me call on me

I’ll give you all of me

Prechorus

Share some piece of mine

It may take a lifetime to find you

My piece of mine

You fill my darkness with light

Chorus

You give me peace of mind (piece of mine)

No holding back

All my sides

I share everything this time (share everything)

My emptiness fills will light

You give me peace

No holding back this time

I’ll share everything

My emptiness fills with light

Bridge

Let me rock you with this lullabye (lullaby lullaby lullaby)

Love is like the sweetest nursery rhyme (nursery rhyme nursery rhyme)

Like kids on the swings flying to the evergreens

On a summer dream

I give you piece of mine let me rock you with this lullabye

Chorus

You give me peace of mind (piece of mine)

No holding back

All my sides

I share everything this time (share everything)

My emptiness fills will light

You give me peace  (piece of mine)

No holding back this time

I’ll share everything (share everything)

My emptiness fills with light

Let me rock you with this lullabye

You fill me you fill me you fill me

Lyrics

Verse 1

I see you when I close my eyes

Your smile is so divine

It brings me joy at all times

So when I feel sad – I close my eyes

When i’m mad – close my eyes

When I’m bad I close my eyes

To bring you bad

 

Prechorus

Take away my defenses

The healing of your hands makes me forget

You tickle all my senses

I’ll never forget you

 

Chorus

Time stops when I’m with you

The clock stops ticking (the clock stop ticking with you)

I have it all – all with you – nothing is missing (nothing is missing with you)

I want all – all of you – every single part of you

Even though alone, I am whole

I am whole

 

Verse 2

I feel you kiss when I close my eyes

Wet moist lips

Your smile

I hear your voice in my mind 

Whispering love as I close my eyes

Singing me sweet I fantasize

You come when I close my eyes

You drive me mad

 

Pre chorus

Take away my defenses

The healing of your hands makes me forget

You tickle all my senses

I’ll never regret you

 

Chorus

Time stops when I’m with you

The clock stops ticking (the clock stop ticking with you)

I have it all – all with you – nothing is missing (nothing is missing with you)

I want all – all of you – every single part of you

Even though alone, I am whole

I am whole

 

Bridge

This moment will never happen again

This moment will never remain

All that is shall to pass

I enjoy the process

WIth passing moment time accelerates – I know

What I desire will never manifest

I accept

This is the process

 

Chorus

Time stops when I’m with you

The clock stops ticking (the clock stop ticking with you)

I have it all – all with you – nothing is missing (nothing is missing with you)

I want all – all of you – every single part of you

Even though alone, I am whole

I am whole

 

TIME

TIME is a pop rock song. A love song reminding that time will tell and time heals all. Time is a state that we define as the only true moment is the present one.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
I thought we would last

The test of time but I was wrong

I thought we crossed paths

So many times but I was lost

I’ll never give up

But I will lay low and I’ll let you go

I’ll keep my head up

And not drown in the ebb and flow

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

Verse 2

It’s happened so fast

And I braced myself for the fall

It’s now just the past

And I am moving forward through it all

Blind faith keeps me going on

And I know one day I’ll find love

I trust all in good time

I’m still here – I’m still alive

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

Bridge

All has to align

To be redefined

It’s all in good time

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

Bridge

It’s all about Time – All has to align

It’s a state of Mind – To be redefined

I have to Align – It’s all in good time

All has to Align

Chorus

It’s all about Time

Time

It’s a state of Mind

I have to Align

All has to Align

 

i love

“i love” is a rock ballad, a song about finding love in the present moment, seeing it in the small details. It was written in Glen Park as I walked through the beautiful canyon, observing the trees, listening to the birds singing, and hearing people’s footsteps behind.

Shot to the heart

“Shot to the heart” is about the “un coup de foudre,” the French saying for love at first sight. I wrote it one night while I was thinking about this person, who I had fallen for and listening to gunshots ringing in the neighborhood. The juxtaposition of love and death, when you feel so strongly it’s like you’re being split apart. Your blood..your love.. your tears are one in the same.

Fade Away

“Fade Away” is about letting go of toxic relationships and being in a flow state, enjoying all that life throws at you. I wrote this when I was going through a situation with someone who I was holding on to knowing that I had to set myself free from the imagined future we shared, releasing myself and him without unnecessary drama, just letting it fade away.

Qué vendrá

My dad inspired me to cover “Qué vendrá” by French artist Zaz, which combines French and Spanish lyrics. It is about what will be, will be and having the confidence to launch yourself into the world, come what may.
