I woke up this morning feeling over the moon I love you so much I wanna rhyme it with June I’m not gonna do that ‘cuz you deserve better I wanna be Shakespeare and write you a letter I wanna be Dylan and write you a song I wanna wrap you in my arms and sing it all night long (I wanna) Give you every beat of my heart now, baby Every little bit of my love Every last kiss that you long for, darlin' All of the joy you’ve been dreaming of Every little bit of my love If I’m gonna be your one and only I promise that you’ll be my top priority Wherever you lead, I’m gonna follow you there I’m gonna get down on my knees, I’m gonna solemnly swear On a stack of Bibles piled to the sky That I’ll love you forever till the day that I die (I’ll) Give you every little beat of my heart now, baby Every little bit of my love Every last kiss that you long for, darlin' All of the joy you’ve been dreaming of Every little bit of my love Every little beat of my heart now, baby Every little bit of my love Every last kiss that you long for, darlin' All of the joy you’ve been dreaming of Every little bit of my love Every little bit of my love Every little bit of my love Every little bit of my love Every little bit of my love

Granny's Cooler Than Me (album version) 03:42
lyrics

I see her there with her thin grey hair And her bones so brittle and frail I see her hands are trembling As she pours herself a glass of ginger ale She doesn’t leave the house much anymore A friend comes once a week and drives her to the store And I see the way she’s winding down In a world where she’s too easy to ignore But my granny was there when Dylan went electric Granny’s first car was a GTO Granny got the Pill and then she burned her bra Stopped a war and fought to ban the bomb Wearing go-go boots and marching for peace My granny has always been cooler than me Granny was born on the Texas prairie Almost married then the draft blew in Goodbye at the airport And she watched her true love ship out on that plane She didn’t leave the house much at the start Then the letter came that finally broke her heart It was January ‘65 And the world was just about to blow apart And my granny was there when Dylan went electric Granny’s first car was a GTO Granny got the Pill and then she burned her bra Stopped a war and fought to ban the bomb Wearing go-go boots and marching for peace My granny is cooler than me Someday my granny’s gonna pass away And we’ll do all the usual things There’ll be flowers and some music Something tasteful with an organ and some strings And the preacher’s gonna say some fancy stuff And I guess that it’ll all be nice enough But if I’m half the woman granny is I’ll stand up and I’ll set the record straight My granny was there when Dylan went electric Granny’s first car was a GTO. Granny got the Pill and then she burned her bra Stopped a war and fought to ban the bomb Wearing go-go boots and marching for peace My granny was always cooler than me My granny was there when Dylan went electric Granny went to Woodstock and Granny inhaled Janis and Jimi and Jumpin’ Jack Flash Strawberry Fields and Johnny Cash If you check out her record collection, you’ll see My granny has always been cooler than me I got dibs on her record collection, you see Cuz’ my granny will always be cooler than me

I Gotta Learn To Say No 03:07

Made it through the working week but not without a fight Putting out the fires from a spark I didn’t light Six o’clock on Friday and it’s almost time to go We need you to work this weekend, everybody else said no Everybody said no Why didn’t I say no? I gotta learn to say no Been about 100 years since I’ve had time all to myself I feel like some demented overscheduled Christmas elf I said I’m glad to do it even though I don’t have time I said I’d solve the problem even though it isn’t mine Bought a box of Girl Scout cookies even though I’m on a diet And the stereo is blaring even though I wanted quiet Can you loan me twenty dollars, will you give me some advice Can I tell you all about the crazy dream I had last -- no No no no no no no Why didn’t I say no? I gotta learn to say no All I really wanted was a few weeks in the sun How come I spent my vacation having someone else’s fun Dinner and a movie and an early night in bed How’d I get myself talked into karaoke night instead If I didn’t wanna talk, why did I pick up the phone If I didn’t wanna go why didn’t I just stay at home If I don't give you a ride, will you end up in a ditch If I don’t do you a favor, does that mean that I'm a -- no No no no no no no Why’s it so hard to say no? I gotta learn to say no No, I think I've hit my limit No, I don’t want just a bite. No, you can’t have just a minute If I give it I’ll be up doing my stuff In the middle of the night So no No no no no no no Why’s it so hard to say no I gotta learn to say no If I don't give you a ride, will you end up in a ditch If I don’t do you a favor, does that mean that I'm a -- no No no no no no no No no no no no no No no no no no no Why’s it so hard to say no I gotta learn to say no credits released July 24, 2021

When it comes to loving, I’ve never been much good at staying When it comes to leaving, I’ve always been the one to go Now summer’s fading into fall I find I have no will at all To leave your arms and face the bitter cold So if you’re planning for the future I hope you want forever ‘Cuz I don’t think I ever wanna go You gave me roots to ground my wings In sacred ordinary things You showed me love when lonely’s all I’d known Please don’t make me go back to My life before I needed you, please Let me stay forever ‘Cuz I don’t ever wanna go. I like the way you’re grouchy till you’ve had your morning coffee Sugar with a little cream in your faded flannel robe I like the way you always find A gentle way to ease my mind I like the way you always take it slow. So if you’re planning for the future I hope you want forever ‘Cuz I don’t think I ever wanna go You gave me roots to ground my wings In sacred ordinary things You showed me love when lonely’s all I’d known I’ve never planted a tree and watched it grow through the years Or watched the seasons turn outside my door A life of leaving’s never got me further from my fears I don’t want to do it anymore. Outside the rain is colder now, inside I’m feeling older now I never used to think about these crazy kinds of things But I went down to the garden store And bought a baby sycamore I hope to see it blossom in the spring. So if you’re planning for the future I hope you want forever ‘Cuz I don’t think I ever wanna go You gave me roots to ground my wings In sacred ordinary things You showed me love when lonely’s all I’d known Please don’t make me go back to My life before I needed you, please Let me stay forever ‘Cuz I don’t ever wanna go. Won’t you let me stay forever ‘Cuz I don’t think I ever wanna go.

A LITTLE MAGIC The sign on the window read ‘fortunes told’ Twenty dollars’ll show you what your future holds So I pushed open that stranger's door And told the gypsy woman what I needed her for She took my palm in her withered hand Said, I know why you're here, child, I understand And I wish I could tell you he was coming home ‘Cuz I can see in your eyes you've been left alone I've made a little magic by the light of the moon Sent a message in a bottle saying come back soon Met up with Aladdin and I borrowed his lamp But I'm still alone and you still don't give a damn I used to think we were meant to be Hand in hand through eternity But now I'm thinking maybe you're not the one 'Cuz all the powers that be are telling me I was wrong I've made a little magic by the light of the moon Sent a message in a bottle saying come back soon Met up with Aladdin and I borrowed his lamp But I'm still alone and you still don't give a damn There goes a fallin' star 'cross the sky I think I'm gonna pass this one by I've done all I can, I know when I'm beat There’s not a charm in the world that's gonna bring you to me I've made a little magic by the light of the moon Sent a message in a bottle saying come back soon Met up with Aladdin and I borrowed his lamp But I'm still alone and you still don't give a damn Oh year, I’ve opened every fortune cookie I've ever found Picked up every penny that I've seen on the ground Wrote the words I love you in a heart on the sand But I'm still alone and you still don't give a damn

about

"Leap of Faith" is sort of a "greatest hits" EP. Over the past two years, I've been experimenting with genre and style, looking for my voice and sound. Some things worked, some things didn't. The best of the experiments are on this EP.

I'm currently working on a full-length album, and it's again very different from what I've already done. As a bridge between the two, "Leap of Faith" is a gathering of some of the music that made me happiest during that experimental period.
