I - EP
Shadow
You know my heart
And I ain't got no room for selfish ways
But darling your love
Is something I don't need
I can explain
​
Nights when I couldn't forget you seem so distant now
(Turn around, settle down now)
Know that I don't want to hurt you I just can't go on
​
Something new is taking over
See it in your face, love
Don't you call me sugar
The only thing that seems to linger, oh
Is a shadow (oh)
Is a shadow (oh)
​
Darling please don't
Make this harder than it has to be
It kills me to know
I'm the reason why you're hurting
​
Never seemed right you were a friend at best
But then you're calling me yours
I'm thinking ‘bout the apathy, the lack of feeling
I'm sorry there’s something missing here
Did I think too much
Possibly
But that doesn't change the way I feel
About this whole situation
I'm chasing any chance that may bring some relief, because
​
Something new is taking over
See it in your face, love
Don't you call me sugar
The only thing that seems to linger
Something new is taking over
See it in your face, love
Don't you call me sugar
The only thing that seems to linger
Is a shadow

Peace of Mind
You, over there
Feeling like I’ve never seen your face before
Maybe I’m just ignorant but it seems you slipped off my radar
What’s the plan, man, why you tryna tear me down?
You’re sitting there, cooped up inside your safety net
Behind a screen feeling invincible, I don’t buy it
‘Cause you don’t even talk when I’m around
All of your words are nothing
If what you seek is trouble, I won’t help you out
I’ve got a good thing going
No use in traveling down the road that you’re on
But did you think that I’d just sit here and let it all burn?
This is my peace of mind so you can just slither away
Don’t you think sometimes you’re better off going unheard?
Just take a piece of my advice or things will never change
The critics are pretentious
Never ending bouts of boosting up themselves by putting others down
But I aim to be different
Spread a message to the kids that they can
Stand and do their thing and change the world they live in, oh
My mom told me perfection’s not the end goal
It’s incredible how quick they are to call out all your flaws like they don’t have ‘em
Really what’s the use in hating when there’s love?
All of their words are nothing
All that they seek is trouble, I won’t help ‘em out
Yeah, we’ve got a good thing going
No use in traveling down the road that they’re on
But did you think that I’d just sit here and let it all burn?
This is my peace of mind so you can just slither away
Don’t you think sometimes you’re better off going unheard?
Just take a piece of my advice or things will never change

If Only
(Wim Tapley:)
There’s a stirring, love
Can you feel it
‘Cause I know it’s been some time, but at the forefront of my mind is your touch
I’m more certain of
My own healing
So if I got to know you better, only God knows what we could become
It seems there’s no easy way to clear my chest
What we have’s at stake
If I slip up
Or you don’t feel the same
If only I could say the words
Maybe we could be something, love
If only every twist and turn
Wouldn’t just lead back to where we started from
If only you could see
If only you could see
I’m out here waiting for you, love
(Madeline Dailey:)
I can’t seem to shake this old feeling
So I’ve gathered up my thoughts
Scattered as they are
I know
In the hopes that you’d be with me
And I’d tell you every reason why I fell in love with you in the first place
(Both:)
If only I could say the words
Maybe we could be something, love
If only every twist and turn
Wouldn’t just lead back to where we started from
If only you could see
If only you could see
I’m out here waiting for you
(Wim Tapley:)
All I am is for what you are
So why are we spending this time apart
All I am is for you, love
(Both:)
All I am is for what you are
So why are we spending this time apart
All I am is for you, love
If only I could say the words
Maybe we could be something, love
If only every twist and turn
Wouldn’t just lead back to where we started from
If only you could see
If only you could see
I’m out here waiting for you, love

All We've Got is Love
Oh, Lately I’ve been wondering
About the way that your hand fits in my hand
I’m stumbling, I’m stuttering
Now it seems more often than not that there’s nothing I’d rather be doing than to be in your arms
They say it’s just a phase
That I’ll grow out of it in a matter of days, but it’s been weeks
And it seems my only weakness
Is that these feelings aren’t losing any strength
I don’t know if you’ll hold me tight
I don’t know why you’re stuck on my mind
But, oh
When you’re with me I’m home
Home is where you belong
Right here in my arms
Oh, dear
Remember that old feeling
What we got to fear
If all we’ve got is love
Darling I don’t think this is temporary
It’s scarily scarce of precariousness
‘Cause when you’re with me it’s the epitome of all of my dreams
It’s that feeling
Try to calm these nerves but I can’t seem to find a way
‘Cause the way your face is like a ray of sunshine
Light up my worst days
‘Cause you are the best thing
And, oh
When you’re with me I’m home
Home is where you belong
Right here in my arms
Oh dear
Remember that old feeling
What we got to fear
If all we’ve got is love
(Oh, Oh)
And, oh
When you’re with me I’m home
Home is where you belong
Right here in my arms
Oh dear
Remember that old feeling
What we got to fear
If all we’ve got is love
I don’t know if you’ll hold me tight
I don’t know why you’re stuck on my mind
​
Galileo
This is love if I’ve ever seen it
You’re the sun
I can’t helping feeling at home in your warmth
No use in being alone
I’m dying just to get out
Can I call you up?
Darling I’ve seen the stars, more than I’ll ever know
But, lately
Seems they mean
Nothing at all
Because you are all that’s in my sights
Care to come closer, love
Close your eyes
The stars can wait a while
Oh, you lift me when I’m feeling low
Oh, things are changing, this I know
But could you stay close to me
Darling I’ve seen the stars, more than I’ll ever know
But, lately
Seems they mean
Nothing at all
Because you are all that’s in my sights
Care to come closer, love
Close your eyes
The stars can wait a while
