Intro 00:29
2.
When I Lean 03:46
when i lean i lean too much looking for another thing to trust even though i know that you are still here haven't had much practice yet figured it so i would not forget that i need you and did you need me me what i fear is loss and hurt what i fear is never seeing her but dust, how i tread you how i see what has lay here oh spring is over oh spring is over i am undone i am undone love, that i have too much love, that i do not have enough call out my neighbors and friends live so you cant pretend oh spring is over and i am undone look how i wear myself look at the sun look how i see it look how i wear it forgiveness that i oft hold back who are you to tell me that i lack some sort of melody or song that you know
3.
Am I Safe 01:49
am i safe here in my body theres not much to turn to besides me i said for you to go home i don’t feel safe when you’re here each time i hear my own body support all the breaths that i take i think of those who sit with me and give up their hands for my own i choose to believe in my better i choose to believe in you too
4.
i may seem young perhaps naive what with all my wandering When all the old women with gray in their hair tell me mistakes are the only fare to getting where you really wanna go I cant say that I often see the world with much clarity unless i’m looking at the grass the window panes the alley cats i’m getting where i really want to go some days i find it hard to be seen thank god for my friends who look at me please allow some space for me and my idiosyncrasies how i can watch a sixth-grade girl don her cat ears, spin and twirl while she’s getting where she wants to go i may not tell you to your face but man i’m trying to take up space and i used to never say if i would rather sleep or read or cry but now i choose what i want i’m here to see you here to need you here to see you i’m getting where i want to go
5.
Thesis 01:28
is there a thesis to this love that i have found with you before is there a statement i try to make with my body in the fore am i to listen how often whats being said to me am i to offer some wisdom to the likes of all who come to me> am i admired for my own groudn that i am walking on? am i growing just like the flower unfolding do i have enough to grow?
6.
The Light 03:37
didn’t know what it felt like the leaves changing so fast at night, the window trees falling fast over me the light darkening the light darkening didn’t know what it was like to love someone and let them go into the night and to say i know what i need to say i need to be free the light is changing the light is changing would you give me time? i am not all caught darker now but I’m not lost need a lot to keep me straight need some more to help me face the light the light the light that falls over you and i better now that time has passed better now that i have lasted this long better now that we will waited better now that i can face the kindness of you the kindness of you what keeps us apart is the piece that keeps us together again ooooooooohhhhhhhh
7.
Have you ever been in love and have you been asleep? have you ever met someone to show you what you need? i have called upon you now to tell you that i see some other way when i look to the mirrored wall with baby on my chest what i see from day to day depends on her rest what she needs and how she's says it often gets confused in some sort of way im not asleep anymore im not asleep anymore just call my name you called me round to play a game of questioning and love i watched you pull us in a circle tighter wove the web how i saw you looking out was how i fell in some sort of way chorus i will stay curious to the beetle on the branch that what moves but is not often seen i know to be true have you ever been in love and not known what you need? i have been in love and wondered what else there could be how i give my love is not how i receive show me a way
8.
I Want You 03:24
i think i’ve been holding on when you gave me a hint that you might not be back i wrapped all your words up in edges walking to the bathroom with your phone in your hand i want you i want you i want you so bad found ya in the bathroom in dream that i had woke up too early with the sheets in my hands held on too tight, creased on my palms left you out late and left you too long i want you i want you i want you so bad i want you i want you usually leave at the sign of some dust or the trail of a suitcase left in a rush this time i sat and let you choose to go babe i’m so proud of you out on your own i want you i want you i want you so bad this song aint sad I’m learning to want and i want you i want you (pause) i want you i want you i want you

about

Recording these songs was a lesson in vulnerability and desire. I am forever grateful to the many people in my life who nudged me towards creating, recording, and then sharing them. Every time I create I feel a little bit closer to myself. Forever gratitude to my family, to my closest friends who listen and love, and to the many homes I have in Nashville and Sewanee. Stay strange, stay odd, my friends!
