If you're out there...


"I like being independent
Not so much of an investment
No one to tell me what to do
I like being by myself
Don’t gotta entertain anybody else
No one to answer to

But sometimes, I just want somebody to hold
Someone to give me their jacket when its cold
Got that young love even when we’re old
Yeah sometimes, I want someone to grab my hand
Pick me up, pull me close, be my man
I will love you till the end

So if you’re out there I swear to be good to you
But I’m done lookin’, for my future someone
Cause when the time is right
You’ll be here, but for now
Dear no one, this is your love song

I don’t really like big crowds
I tend to shut people out
I like my space, yeah
But I’d love to have a soul mate
God will give him to me someday
& I know it’ll be worth the wait"

Hold on for dear life


When you're tired and your bones start weighing more than they used to,
You just can't seem to see this night through,
Gravity feels stronger pulling you towards the ground,
Or maybe it's just your low spirits, you're feeling down,
Everything seems life or death,
You wonder just how far we actually ever get,
Back to square one,
Though nothing really ever matters in the long run,
And you want to cry,
Desperate to escape only to realize you can no longer fly,
Caught struggling in your own lie's spider web,
When exactly did it get all around your neck?
It's mundane, futile, irrelevant,
The quick to dry tears will remain as the sole evidence,
In the end salvation's always absent.
