• January 24, 2026When You Get Home

  Sitting here watching the paint dry

  Thinking bout you

  I know you’re out there somewhere

  Doing the best you can do

  Take the time you need to roam

  You deserve to feel complete on your own

  And tell me all about it

  When you get home

  Busy rearranging the furniture

  Thinking bout you

  Trying hard not to anticipate

  When you might come through

  We don’t need to talk about money

  I’ll just laugh when you say something funny

  You can tell me all about it honey

  When you get home

  Seconds into minutes turn to hours into days

  All I do is miss you in so many ways

  I water all the plants in the living room

  Thinking bout you

  I’ve been practicing folding the towels

  The way you showed me to

  I’ve been typing to metronome

  To put your name into a palindrome

  I’ll tell you all about it

  When you get home

  Seconds turn to minutes become hours into days

  All I do is miss you in so many ways

  The snow’s been falling for hours

  I’m thinking bout you

  In summer like a bee to the flowers

  You're just passing through

  Am I tired of being alone

  Or just hungry for your honeycomb

  We don’t have to talk about anything

  When you get home

  Or you can tell me all about it

  When you get home

  When you get home

  When you get home

  When you get

• January 14, 2026Gotta Get Over It

  Hey

  I heard you just got back today

  From a work trip in LA

  Nothing new around here

  And I’ll just say

  If you come around my way

  Two minutes off the highway

  I’ll let you bend my ear

  Some bags you need to lay down just outside the door

  You’ve been carrying them for so long but you don’t need them anymore

  Time to call the tailor for a better fit

  But first things first, you’ve gotta to get over it

  Call me insane

  I packed a bag and I took the train

  Down the coast in the freezing rain

  The ticket was one way

  Maybe it was in vain

  Something I needed to re-explain

  Nothing ventured nothing to gain

  I’ll try again someday

  And some bags I need to lay down just outside the door

  I’ve carried them for so long but I don’t need them anymore

  Time to call the tailor for a better fit

  But first things first, I’ve gotta get over it

  It’s too to easy to save it for another time

  Nothing really matters till it’s all on the line

  And some might call it a pity

  She’s all alone in the city

  She does herself up pretty

  The night it comes in stages

  She’s getting over a breakup

  She’s on her bed in her makeup

  Doodles and poems that take up

  An empty journal’s pages

  And some bags she needs to lay down just outside the door

  She’s been carrying them for so long, she don’t need them anymore

  Time to call the tailor for a better fit

  But first things first, she’s gotta get over it

  Some bags we need to lay down just outside the door

  We’ve been carrying them for so long we don’t need them anymore

  Time to call the tailor for a better fit

  But first things first

  We’ve gotta get over it

  Gotta get over it

  Hey

  I heard you just got back today

  From a work trip in LA

  Nothing new around here

• December 16, 2025Still a Rose

  A frog becomes a prince

  Upon a kiss from his true love

  Constellations from below

  Look different from above

  A sullen heart one tick away

  From unspeakable delight

  And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright

  A day it ends exactly

  Once a new day has begun

  An axis in a steady state of

  Spinning towards the sun

  And what’s the point in dreaming

  If we only dream at night

  But it’s alright, baby it’s alright

  You can tell yourself it’s not your time

  There’s no one waiting on the line

  But you feel it from your head down to your toes

  You can call it what you want but

  A rose is still a rose

  You can sing a hallelujah

  You can wish upon a star

  You can travel round the world

  And stay exactly who you are

  You can join a new religion

  Paint your bedroom black and white

  And it’s alright, yeah it’s alright

  A name is just a notion

  Not a testament of will

  Identity’s an ocean

  Endless, everchanging, still

  Birds would just be scavengers

  Were it not the gift of flight

  And it’s alright, baby it’s alright

  You can tell yourself it’s not your time

  There’s no one waiting on the line

  But you feel it from your head down to your toes

  You can call it something different but

  A rose is still a rose

  A name is just a tag

  On what the factory installed

  If it’s true it stays with you

  No matter what it’s called

  And the frog might be a prince now

  But she was looking for a knight

  And it’s alright, baby it’s alright

  You can tell yourself it’s not your time

  There’s no one waiting on the line

  But you feel it in your elbows, knees and toes

  You can call it what’d you like but

  A rose is still a rose

  Yeah you can call it anything but

  A rose is still a rose

• November 22, 2025In the Easy Light

  You’ve got a lot of balls up in the air

  Never one to go the safest route

  You took a detour on a dare

  Now I’m looking forward to checking it out

  There’s no limitation on your imagination

  You shoot unscripted on location

  In the dead of night

  You set your feet and see it through

  It’s all I’ve ever seen you do

  In the easy light

  You took up painting just a year ago

  Now you’re selling out the gallery

  You’ve got a longer list of projects waiting

  Than any fortune teller could ever see

  You’re making headlines underneath the fold

  With your hands of stone and your heart of gold

  And your vision like a satellite

  When inhibitions ever lead to doubt

  You just open em up and air them out

  In the easy light

  But it’s only human to hesitate

  Some plans might pass their sell by date

  Throw em on the pile

  When your better angels take a turn

  It’s alright sometimes to crash and burn

  Disappear for a while

  Your nightstand’s a collection of

  Fiction, fact and alchemy

  It’s everybody’s guess why

  But you seem to still put up with me

  You’re a builder in the best way

  Of life and art and dreams

  And I think I just might

  Not let the ink dry before I pull the lever

  That lets me hold you close forever

  In the easy light

  On a canvas under a sky of blue

  All I want is to be there with you

  In the easy light

• November 19, 2025Mistaken Identity

  I thought I knew you

  But I guess I never knew you at all

  You led me on

  Before you led me astray

  I’ve been sitting here for hours

  Waiting for you to call

  It never had to be this way

  I gave you more than I

  Gave anyone before

  I had a room reserved with every amenity

  You changed your mind

  But did you need to rob me blind

  Was it a case of mistaken identity

  You’re like a see saw up and down

  Then it’s no longer a game

  What starts as fun

  Is always taking a turn

  I have to wonder if

  I ever even knew your real name

  Through all the bridges you burned

  I gave you more than I

  Gave anyone before

  I had a room reserved with every amenity

  You changed your mind

  But did you need to rob me blind

  Was it a case of mistaken identity

  I’ve gone over and over again

  How you came around

  How I let you into my world

  If I could do it all over again

  I would stand my ground

  Not roll over and over

  I’m working weekends for a while

  Keeps me out of the red

  And not get lost in illusion

  I’m doing doubles when they let me

  Till you’re out of my head

  It helps clear up the confusion

  I gave you more than I

  Gave anyone before

  I had a room reserved with every amenity

  You changed your mind

  But did you need to rob me blind

  Was it a case of mistaken identity

  I gave you more than I

  Gave anyone before

  I had a room reserved with every amenity

  You changed your mind

  But did you need to rob me blind

  Was it a case of mistaken identity

• November 01, 2025Quiet Town

  When the sun goes down

  In a quiet town

  The streets are dark

  Not a soul around

  In a quiet town

  At the foot of a

  Round and rolling hill

  The shops are closed

  And the streets are still

  In a quiet town

  The moon’s alone not a dog in sight

  It’s the quiet start to a quiet night

  In a quiet town

  The shades are drawn

  Like a silhouette

  The oven’s hot

  And the table’s set

  For the daily bread

  Children go on

  About their day

  They eat then

  Take their plates away

  And it’s time for bed

  Mom and dad

  Read by candlelight

  It’s a quiet time on a quiet night

  In a quiet town

  The half moon whispers

  A secret hymn

  As streetlights go

  From bright to dim

  In a foggy crown

  When the day has made

  One final sweep

  They close their eyes

  And go to sleep

  In a quiet town

  All artifice

  Starts to fall away

  It’s the quiet end to a quiet day

  In a quiet town

• October 22, 20254th of July

  You don’t always know when it’s time to go

  Till the walls cave in or you stub your toe

  And the window’s closed cause you move too slow to fly

  I keep a bag packed, one foot out the door

  Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore

  I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July

  Lord knows life ain’t always a hallmark movie

  But it keeps coming at you, good and bad, ready or not

  Instead of waiting around for a feel good hollywood ending

  You've gotta try to forget about the wins you don’t get

  And hold on to the ones you’ve got

  You don’t always know when it’s time to go

  Till the walls cave in or you stub your toe

  And the window’s closed cause you move too slow to fly

  I keep a bag packed, one foot out the door

  Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore

  I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July

  And maybe the best we can hope for is sweet surrender

  You can try to hold on, but it’s gone in the blink of an eye

  Instead of crying on the corner about how you could’ve been a contender

  Make sure you’ve got all your affairs in order

  Before you say good bye

  Some of us may be planted in fertile soil

  But less certain we become the more we know

  There’s a fine line between turbulence and turmoil

  But these roots won’t keep me planted here

  When the levees start to blow

  You won’t always know when it’s time to go

  Till the walls cave in and you’re lower than low

  And the window’s closed cause you move too slow to fly

  I keep a bag packed, one foot out the door

  Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore

  I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July

  I’m like a firecracker on a hot summer night

  I’ve been wrong so long I don’t know how to be right

  But I’m ready in ways my actions don’t always imply

  I keep a bag packed and one foot out the door

  Ain’t nothing keeping me around here anymore

  I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July

  I’ve got a tank full of gas and I’ll be gone by the 4th of July

• October 05, 2025Secret Garden

  Tennessee’s been calling to me for a little while

  I’ve never been more than taking a spin down a country mile

  At night I go there in my dreams

  Float above cool mountain streams

  Nothing had ever been as it seems

  Until I seen you smile

  I’ve watched the stars come out one by one on a winter night

  I’ve seen fireflies dance on a meadow in the moonlight

  If it’s too forward, then I beg your pardon

  But if you want to see an old heart unharden

  Take me to your secret garden

  Tonight

  You used to tell me bout your summer on the beaches of mexico

  I’ve never been and I know I can’t go everywhere I wanna go

  But one thing I know is true

  I’m so in love with you

  I’d go anywhere you tell me to

  You already you know

  If it’s too forward, then I beg your pardon

  But if you want to see this old heart unharden

  Take me to your secret garden

  Tonight

• September 24, 2025L3v3L uP

  You’re riding on the L train

  You’re studying a new maze

  You’re up until the sunrise

  You’re headed to the next phase

  Moving up the ladder

  Fighting through some old ways

  Open up the curtains

  You’re headed to the next phase

  One day your stitches will be but a scar

  (you’ll wear them like a badge of honor)

  And you know you’ve already come so far

  Now you’re riding on the L train

  Not thinking bout the old days

  Emerging from the shadows

  You’re headed to the next phase

  You’re moving up the ladder

  You’re borrowing a new phrase

  Open up the windows

  You’re headed to the next phase

  It’s time for you to make it on your own

  (without the weight of indecision)

  All the birds that came from here have flown

  (but in the end they’ll make their way home)

  Now you’re riding on the L train

  You’re firing a new glaze

  You’re handling the pressure

  You’re headed to the next phase

  You’re moving up the ladder

  You’re trying out a new gaze

  Go tell it on the mountain

  You’re headed to the next phase

  You’re riding on the L train

  You’re studying a new maze

  You’re up until the sunrise

  You’re headed to the next phase

  Moving up the ladder

  Fighting through some old ways

  Open up the curtains

  You’re headed to the next phase

  Now you’re riding on the L train

  Not thinking bout the old days

  Emerging from the shadows

  You’re headed to the next phase

  You’re moving up the ladder

  You’re borrowing a new phrase

  Open up the windows

  You’re headed to the next phase

• September 07, 2025The Secret

  I’ve got a secret

  That fits in my hand

  And I mean to keep it for now

  You understand

  And I’m on an airplane

  And you’re on the sea

  And one day we’ll marry

  Underneath the sycamore tree

  Laughter lasts like late summer rain

  Thistle and down dance in auburn hair

  You blithely beg me to please explain

  But when I open my hand

  There’s nothing there

  I’ve got a secret

  If you’ve got a dime

  But I aim to keep it for now

  While we’ve got time

  And lost in the mountains

  High on the plains

  And I think I might need you tonight

  Like the blood in my veins

  Laughter lasts like late summer rain

  Thistle and down dance in auburn hair

  You blithely beg me to please explain

  But when I open my hand

  There’s nothing there

  Laughter lasts like late summer rain

  Thistle and down dance in auburn hair

  You blithely beg me to please explain

  But when I open my hand

  There’s nothing there

  I’ve got a secret

  If you’ve got a dime

  But I’m going to keep it for now

  Cause we’ve got time

  Yeah we've got time
