high over the waters edge the moon it was glowing all of the thoughts we were tying the knots in your eyes it was showing oh LaGrange, would you even recognize my face? it has been years since those days still, I think of you often still, I think of you often out on the balcony the night winds were blowing slowly diving into your sea found comfort in just knowing the beat in our chests and the catching of breath oh, not too young to notice and from your room you called me up and we talked until the morning oh LaGrange, would you even recognize my face? it has been years since those days still, I think of you often still, I think of you often now may your feet be on the firmest of grounds oh your roots always be growing and I hope that love has come to wrap you up wherever you are going

lying in bed, drunk off my head again been keeping the score still fighting this war I got myself in starting to find it would be easier if I got rid of this loss, let loose of this cross I've been carrying when the dark on the surface breaks I want it this way filled up the pages, words too weighted to hold tried to outlast it, have to move past this once and for all sweet November, the light at the center I crave and I'd still call you lover if we meet over on the other side babe when the dark on the surface breaks I want it this way oh and grace if you're out there hiding your head around the bend know that I'm looking for you everywhere oh I'm looking for anything at all

Blood 04:52
just for tonight can we pay no mind and pretend we're trying? you put it all on the bottom, watched it rise up what's the point in lying? you've got to want to break through this time it's not too late to make do, just leave it all behind though my hands are cold I'd still pick up the phone if it would stop this drifting and that fire's still burning but there's plenty of learning cause this rain, it's endless you've got to want to break through this time it's not too late to make do, just leave it all where it lies because where you gonna go when you're all alone oh another time around? when all the ties have cut and you've come undone for what another time around? turn, turn your back on your blood all for another time around and you went back on your word and I'm over the sympathy you know I'll still love you but all of that running, it won't set you free don't you want to break through this time it's not too late to make do just leave that shit behind because where you gonna go when you're all alone oh another time around? when all the ties have cut and you've come undone for what another time around? turn, turn your back on your blood all for another time around go on turn, turn your back on your blood how could you turn, turn your back on your blood? what's done is done still not where we want will we ever become? (on your blood) just for tonight I will pay no mind and pretend I'm trying you put it all on the bottom watched you fall through what's the point in lying?

buried, buried beneath the build of your walls meant what I said, tried to forget, couldn't forget at all winter stems, snow pale skin oh the winds would howl still holding on to this but who's holding you now? is it still sinking slowly? I've lost a part of me but was I a waste of your time? we were not far from grace and I still see your face whenever I close my eyes relinquished, the giving up was there no where to turn? the last time, one last try to salvage some worth but never will I feel your presence in the room where I stand so don't let on, just write it off that you know me when is it still sinking slowly? I've lost a part of me but was I a waste of your time? we were not far from grace and I still see your face when I close my eyes whenever I close my eyes come on, come on, love I know that you know don't you let this go don't let go
5.
if I never, would you ever, at all years of holding stood wide open recall emerald waters someone's daughter absolved surely fading no more waiting around it's still the same as before nothing has changed at all it's still the same as before nothing has changed at all hard's the keeping of these secrets alone still it's beating somehow bleeding your tone it's still the same as before nothing has changed at all (still learning, still burning, still keeping strong still knowing, still holding, it won't be long) it's still the same as before nothing has changed at all

about

Winter Warmer is a collection of songs I recorded in my living room during the first months of winter. To anyone who takes some time to listen, download, or purchase the album or just a song, it means more than I could ever put into words. I hope everyone can take something away from these songs.
