Verse 1: Vegas keys Unlock the memories That lead me to fields of dreams Of fate dependent possibilities Inspiration comes With one wink of the rising sun In your eyes countless smiles run On the wings of a hatchling love Chorus: Well this song’s a simple song Complicated by the approaching gates of graduation dates But as I go Into the waters of this world I’m never gonna lose that angel in my mind I pray the trifecta of good love, timing, distance collide Someday Verse 2: If they collide on the shores of the central coast Well I’m down with that I’m more than alright with that If we come together in the heat laced sands Of the blazing desert land I’d gladly put my fingers in your hand And put my bags down.

Verse 1: Finally had a car, a job, a guitar… For the first time, the stars seemed to align I had all 3, we fit in perfect company, I traveled the 10, out to the where the sun swims I tried to bury the year in summer days and broken mirrors But now I’m back and girl you make me wanna stay Chorus: But then I stumbled upon, upon a wake up call Couldn’t get my roots in the ground, but now I’m not comin down I find peace, resting in your smile And I don’t want to leave… Verse 2: California was the cradle, where I laid my broken days, I found more comfort in the sky than I did where my bed lay But now I got those eyes, spreadin’ life, I’m not livin’ just to survive Bridge: Girl, you don’t just settle, some run the race but yet get the medal You live your life beautiful like the sunrise it pours into mine, now we’re sharin’ the good life

Verse 1: What would it take, to make your heart feel the weight of the feelings whispering, so heavy in the air What would it take to cross the lines of dead debate so damned by devil distance, so heavy in the air And I Wanna rip fate out the ground and I wanna Scream till sense fills your ears but I can’t hear a sound Words hit the floor like nervous glasses, Can we repeat the past without the ashes Could we get back to more than just a friendly Goodbye-ey-yah-ey-yah Goodbye (repeat) Verse 2: And what would it take to make your heart take a break from the worrisome 9 to 5 God let it be alive And what would it take to cancel out all mistakes of a world driven you dead-ridden of chances not taken when given And I Wanna rip fate out the ground and I wanna Scream till sense fills your ears but I can’t hear a sound Words hit the floor like nervous glasses, Can we repeat the past without the ashes Could we get back to more than just a friendly Goodbye-ey-yah-ey-yah Goodbye (repeat)

Last 4 Weeks 04:38
Verse 1: The last 4 weeks Life’s made an impression, (babe) Pressed out the monotony Of empty attraction There would have been a greater likelihood Of snow in west Hollywood Than what I though I’d find That Sunday afternoon Chorus: Cause all I want Is to see you again No strings attached babe That’s all I want (2x) Verse 2: The reality is, Encounters with A woman of caliber only found in Collisions of wayward daydreams and fiction Can knock a man senseless, Get his head spinning I’m just thinking out loud, Ed Sheeran Not gonna lie, I hope you’re also feelin’ Butterflies, knock knockin’ When you hear my voice on the line Bridge I know you want to take it slow Yeah that’s alright with me Cause girl you make my heart beat, like an island sunrise Won’t you wash m

Chorus: I wanna touch the world, I wanna touch the world, Do I Have enough hands to mend this whole land, I wanna touch the world As the start line comes on morning wings My heart on love still leans on From beach to plains my soul still sings The touch the world song I’ve cradled refuge, I’ve stifled doubt My heart on hope still leans on I’ve harbored dropouts, and their souls cry out The touch the world song And as the sun runs, I do not fear My heart on light still leans on Grace is my captain, and true she steers She’ll be the touch the world song

Verse 1: The seams on my frisco knitted memories are frayin’ down The dirt’s workin it’s way in between I’m walkin down Lombard roads, un-foretold, don’t know where they’ll go Just following the street lights’ foggy gleam Chorus: Oh, when it’s a walk in the city, you’re gonna hit some ups and downs Oh, when it’s a walk in the city, it’s gonna be tough to stick around Oh, and when it’s a walk in the city, babe You can’t always be walkin in the moonlight You might have to go through the dark to see the sunrise Verse 2: The sweetness of sugar coated streetlights is a’wearin’ down Our breath is dancing in the cold Sometimes you gotta make a left on 2nd guess boulevard To find that love has cast the mold (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: You know it’s worth the wait, you don’t want to blow fate away With a taxi ride you can’t confide in the safety of a subway line Cause when you walk, you grow stronger, yeah when you walk you grow stronger I’ll walk to all the coffee shops and play this song all over this town… All over this town, all over this town, all over, over, yeah, yeah…

about

This album is my first EP ever recorded! I have always loved writing music ever since I was in high school, and it's a dream come true to be able to finally have put together my first official project. It was a collaborative effort with many people who have helped pave the way for my musical journey, including my former high school band teacher, my father, brother, and several other close friends who have helped me develop as an artist over the years.

The project was created with the spirit of giving back in mind, specifically the youth in my hometown of Stockton. All funds raised by this project will go towards studio time for students in Stockton through the Grace Notes Music Project, an initiative I'm working on with Matt Young of Press Recording Studio in Stockton, CA to help make the art of songwriting more accessible to youth in my city. All funds generated will go towards studio time for students through this initiative!

I hope that you enjoy the album and think about supporting this project! Thank you so much for your support!
