The Offer 02:53
Verse 1 You came to me your intentions were clear as the sea why not wait till we’re 25 on that age you wouldn’t compromise all my best laid plans and designs scribbled out you're a mastermind Pre Chorus Who am I kidding? Chorus How could I refuse? How could I refuse? Verse 2 What if I woke to a different dream and I didn't know you, you didn’t know me and I woke up to a different life spoke a different language in a different time would I waste my life looking for someone like you Pre Chorus Who am I kidding I was made for you if I didn’t find you the earth would split in two Chorus How could I refuse? How could I refuse? Outro Foolish as I seem foolish as I seem I’m not as foolish as I seem

Verse 1 Oh Lord Oh Lord I come to you I been doing all this walking on my own (2x) and it wasn’t really so bad the birds and the trees and the sun you know they got my back and it wasn’t so bad cus my peripheral blessings all laid at my feet I can’t complain Chorus But don’t you know there’s something something about your name something something about your name and when I hear it you’re here with me Verse 2 Oh Lord I been doing me all by myself and I didn’t have time for anybody else Oh Lord I been doing it on my own trying to move trying to live trying to breathe And it wasn’t so bad cus my peripheral blessings all laid at my feet I can’t complain Chorus But don’t you know there’s something something about your name don’t you know there’s something something about your name something something about your name and when I hear it you’re here with me Ba pa da pa da pa bap ba da da You know that something came to me it knocked me right back off of both of my feet it was a Holy roller’s dream I can’t escape your mystery

Verse 1 All I got to come back to is the song the song all I got to come back to for so long Chorus Over and over and over over and over and over Verse 2 It's not like I ever needed saving there's no need to make it so dramatic it's not like I ever needed saving you were just my best friend from the attic Chorus Over and over and over over and over and over Bridge Okay I might feel a little afraid okay I might feel a little unsafe okay okay okay but nothing changes just the season just the year nothing changes just the phrase just the prayer nothing changes I'm still right here I'm still right here Chorus Over and over and over over and over and over over and over and over

Two Arms 03:13
Verse 1 A fighting man with a ready hand if he said it so it was no compromise no fuss just 18 with a baby carriage two hot heads in a teenage marriage Chorus Daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the books you’re going to school not a fashion show daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the crooks don’t let em play you like piano Verse 2 In the middle of the century with the pain of a brother in eternity why does he think so little of me to let me know so little of him Daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the books you're going to school not a fashion show daddy told me not to fall in love keep an eye on the crooks don’t let em play you like piano Bridge I’m sorry I didn’t mean to steal your pants I keep forgetting to deliver them into your hands truthfully last week I decided to keep them they remind me of you I know someday I will carry you in my own two in my own two arms do you know how how I cherish do you know what you mean Outro Daddy told me not to fall I’m afraid of the world without you I’m afraid of the world without you

about

Our second album Ribbon Dancer is here! If I had to describe Ribbon Dancer it would be: sad, upbeat, sad again. Hope, hope, hope.

It's been a journey to get these precious songs into your speakers. Including loving the songs! Then overthinking them, recording and re-recording. But nonetheless, the songs are here, finished and that makes me proud.
