phone call i wrote this song for my friend. i told them it would be the first song i would produce and i was really excited. i could hear it in my head. but that didn't end up happening.
(5.19.19)

no matter how far you go
i'll be there when the day is over
even if we aren't friends forever
i'm just a phone call away

we are gone i was in an a capella group in high school, and they considered cutting funding for multiple art programs including mine. i wrote this when i found out the news that they passed the levy! sang it in my school's vestibule
(11.9.19)

now we are gone
no moving forward
it's all over
we're going under
leave it behind
struck with pride
taking all the time you need

in love w u i didn't write this with a specific person in mind. i don't know exactly what was on mine, probably just wishful thinking
(5.30.19)

i can't help, i'm afraid
if it's true, i am totally completely in love with you
the ocean falls as i do too
if it's true, i'm intimately in love with you
every second more means more smiling
call me a daydreamer, i was thinking of you
repeating in my head, the words you said last night
if i breathe this air, i might be holding you tight
if it's true, i'm intimately in love with you

emerald baby i wrote this for a friend i had a crush on. she was always very flirty with me. i realized eventually that was just their personality
(5.30.19)

this doesn't feel right with anyone else
when you say those things, i know i can't help
i'm falling, falling, as i look in your eyes
you make me feel special and you don't even realize
baby, i want to know you if you want me to know you
lately, emerald eyes staring back at me
honey, i want you to know me if you want to know me
lady, emerald eyes staring back at me

i would i don't know exactly where this came from but i know it's not inspired by real events
(6.12-14.19)

i wanted you before you wanted me too
'cause i fall quicker than i should
and it'd be nice if you would
and you know if i could, i would. i would!

i've been constantly scared
paranoid of what i've not prepared
when life gets me down
i think of you and then it's hard to frown

'cause i love quicker than i should
but it'd still be nice if you would
and i know you know if i could
i would, i would, i would, i would

Made to Be Broken
(6.29.19)

i live with my heart broken
waiting, forever hoping
that someday or now, you'll wanna be with me
i can't escape my feelings
my heart forever reeling
so i wanna love every inch that i see

through the night i fantasize
waking up with your head next to mine

guess i was made to be broken
my life built in moments
where every thought i have is you
made to be broken
but never ever hoping it's not you

how far
(8.3.19)

how far does the pain go?
how much must i let go?
'cause everything i have
and everything i want is gone

how far does the pain go?
how much must i let go?
what do i have to give up
to get you to trust me?

heart attack
(8.7.19)

you made me think that you even cared at all
how could i be dumb and let myself fall?
i told myself that i wouldn't be a fool
that i would trust my heart when it said that you were cruel

but i was stupid, and i know that now
yet i still wanna see your crooked smile
i loved the way it felt when i saw your name at all
you used me to feel better and it stopped working after a while

the things i said about you
i would never take them back
but they mean less now
your words give me a different kind of heart attack
