I want to know your story Tell me face to face So I can see expressions Oh take me to that place You can always make me smile Woah X 4 I'd like to take you on a date If your oranges collect a parcel Along the way You can always make me smile He says you can always make me smile Woah X 4 We talk some times and I think to myself Its interesting how We get on so well You can always make me smile I'm looking at you While you're grinning back at me I'm wondering what you're thinking About what you see Why do I always make you smile Why do you always make me smile You can always make me smile He says you can always make me smile Woah X 4 I don't know how I feel or if its going to hurt I think back to your grin and it dispels the storm And you're making me Smile Yeah you're making me You can always make me smile He says you can always make me smile Woah X 8 And you're making me Smile Yeah you're making me You seem to want to step into my world Figure out my heart and listen to my words The things that make me laugh are making you laugh too Would we smile together if we both knew

Hey Dear I'd like to say Dear I'd like to stay here Would you mind So Dear Want you to know Dear To have no fear I'm by your side I want to be there through your darkest hours And bring some sunshine through the clouds share with you your deepest joy Think of all the places we will Go Dear Who really knows where I'll go every where With you but You know that already don't you Hey Dear I just want to say Dear I'd like to stay here Right by your side I want to be there through your darkest hours And bring some sunshine through the clouds share with you your deepest joy Think of all the places we will Go Dear Who really knows where I'll go every where With you but You know that already don't you

Smiling today I got Sunshine inside of my soul No cares to drag me down Daydreams fill my head to overflowing try shaking me now Even with no blue sky I can Still splash in puddles in the rain My cheesy grin always intact for all the world to see I don't need circumstances To keep me happy yeah Its just a choice I make and Choose to keep I stub my toe I miss the bus everyday I lose my papers in the mess I may never Be on time but I'll Change your attitude with one Flash of my smile Even with no blue sky I can Still splash in puddles in the rain My cheesy grin always intact for all the world to see I don't need circumstances To keep me happy yeah Its just a choice I make and Choose to keep Come with me Take a chill pill you'll be just fine We're all in this together We're all in this together Even with no blue sky I can Still splash in puddles in the rain My cheesy grin always intact for all the world to see I don't need circumstances To keep me happy yeah Its just a choice I make and Choose to keep You've got the car You've got the house You've got the holiday in Spain All your friends wear pretty clothes and say nice things But in the empty moments As the raindrops fall Is that smile really from inside your soul Even with no blue sky I can Still splash in puddles in the rain My cheesy grin always intact for all the world to see I don't need circumstances To keep me happy yeah Its just a choice I make and Choose to keep

Same Same 03:06

Its inside me beating like a drum I look into you but you're a violin We walk in step the dance is ours But your minds on a screen and mines gone sour We are all the same We've all got skin and bones A word a smile a laugh a nod Giving you hope that you're understood A moment of sun while the stars align You see me and know and you're watching me shine And you said we are all the same We've all got skin and bones Words are beautiful things they say To me and to you as we walk away My ears were closed however yours were free He's whispered to your heart through your memories Singing Woah Woah In a parallel world that ain't so strait We're face to face but hours away I'm talking about the things I know To a white paper face thats lost its glow He told me we are all the same We've all got skin and bones Oh yeah but we are not the same Our stories hold their own

Can you tell me please Where'd all the beautiful things go The beautiful things Are they under your knees Please don't hide them from me so Oh don't hide them so Can you tell me please Don't be a tease I need the seas To lul me to sleep To a certain degree The worlds gone to sleep And it needs us to wake them Give them a tweak Wake them up Wake them up oh Wake them up If you come back to me I will my sunshine I'll let the sunshine If you come back to me I will let you keep my sea If you lul me off to sleep Together we will sleep When we wake up in the morning We won't wake up yawning And we'll wake the world up with us With the sunshine in the morning If you come back to me Together we'll be free I'll be the wind under your wings and you'll bring me beauty We'll be the moon and we'll be the sunset And stumbling won't hurt so much With a shoulder like yours To catch me when I fall I'll lift you up cuz you're my warrior I'll lift you up cuz you're my warrior Hey I miss you when you're gone So please don't make it too long Don't make it too long And I also miss the sea So bring the beauty Bring the beauty back to me

about

This album comes from an eclectic genre of feelings dated back as far as mid way through high school.. They include but are not limited to love, pure joy, curiosity, reflective solitude and confusion. I've only ever been able to write what comes out of me despite my efforts to do otherwise. This collections of songs is a snapshot in time of the deeper moments in my life.
Please enjoy. x
