No Right 03:46
You can’t choose something so hard Something so wrong and Something we both knew Past our rights and our wrongs I battled through our fog I did it for you You can’t tell me how strong I am ‘Cause only I know the way it feels For you to tell me that you’ll always be there Push comes to shove, I’m drowning in tears, tears You got no right To waltz in this place Come in my space Get in my face No right To tell me it’s hard Babe, I’ve walked the longest yard Left with my well-earned scars Don’t say you’ll always love me if you can’t even call me honey I’m no longer blinded by your light Don’t tell me you’ll be there if you never really cared ‘Cause to start this fight, you’ve got no right I got into it too I got deep into you and Into me too I got into your soul I knew your only goal was to Always stay true But if you can’t see How much this really hurts You never knew me at all I though climbing the mountain Would be worth the view But never thought about the fall, the fall You got no right To waltz in this place Come in my space Get in my face No right To tell me it’s hard Babe, I’ve walked the longest yard Left with my well-earned scars Don’t say you’ll always love me if you can’t even call me honey I’m no longer blinded by your light Don’t tell me you’ll be there if you never really cared ‘Cause to start this fight, you’ve got no right You got no right To waltz in this place Come in my space Get in my face No right To tell me it’s hard Babe, I’ve walked the longest yard Left with my well-earned scars Don’t say you’ll always love me if you can’t even call me honey I’m no longer blinded by your light Don’t tell me you’ll be there if you never really cared ‘Cause to start this fight, you’ve got no right

Give In 03:04
I fell An addict in your arms Surviving on the energy released from your palms I crashed And burned into your heart The memory of a lost love that tore you apart Well I only meant to save you What a mess we’ve got into I didn’t mean to hurt you But now you’re crushing me too Well you call And I answer You run And I run faster You speak And I listen Well you give And I give in I wept The day you told me The day our lives were changed when we were dancing in the street I screamed Shouts of joy and wonder Shouts of healing from the wreckage you brought me out from under Well I only meant to save you What a mess we’ve got into I didn’t mean to hurt you But now you’re crushing me too Well you call And I answer You run And I run faster You speak And I listen Well you give And I give in

I Owe You 03:44
In the moments we were together I thought it was forever The way you made me feel At times things were clearer Me a princess, you a hero Never thought I’d shed another tear But the moment, it’s now gone And our hearts are moving on Into another realm I’d say that I still love you If i didn’t feel above you Why is that so wrong? Is that so wrong? I owe you this much This song One final touch But you’re gone I owe you heartbreak A love letter One more mistake Or my eyes wetter I owe you nothing But I felt in debt From the very moment our eyes first met I owe you this much This song One final touch But you’re gone We shared a many wonderful things But I forgot them all so easy How did I move on You were the words to my every song And the right to my every wrong How do I get along without you? I owe you this much This song One final touch But you’re gone I owe you heartbreak A love letter One more mistake Or my eyes wetter I owe you nothing But I felt in debt From the very moment our eyes first met I owe you this much This song One final touch But you’re gone, gone I owe you this much This song I owe you heartbreak I owe you nothing I owe you nothing I owe you nothing, nothing, nothing But you’re gone

I'm In Love 03:44
Close the curtains Shut down the blinds And just unwind Light up those candles Watch them all melt From the light I know what I feel when the feeling is real Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love I don’t wanna do Anything but you My baby’s here to stay Take off all your clothes Throw them away Save ‘em for a better day With all the time in the world I’ll make myself heard Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love Spending all my time inside my head Why am I not laying in my bed All day with you drinking up the juice The blood of Jesus Spending all my time inside my head Why am I not laying in my bed All day with you drinking up the juice The blood of Jesus If I had to choose, I would choose you Oh, I’m in love

My Sunset 03:16
I like to look into your eyes And smile, they’re so fascinating I want to pull you aside And tell you how great you are to me That the simple life with you Is all that I’ll ever be needing My only worry is when I’m with you My heart it tends to stop beating Right inside my chest Darlin’, I want you in my sunset On the beach In the water Getting our toes wet Holding hands Swinging our arms together Oh, baby Been thinking about you lately Why don’t you come with me? Walk on the sand With me forever In my sunset Some nights we’ll look up at the stars And smile, they’re just so fascinating Other nights we’ll open up our hearts And find a way to believing That the simple life with you Is all that I’ll ever be needing My only worry is when I’m with you My heart it tends to stop beating Right inside my chest Darlin’, I want you in my sunset On the beach In the water Getting our toes wet Holding hands Swinging our arms together Oh, baby Been thinking about you lately Why don’t you come with me? Walk on the sand With me forever In my sunset I want you in my sunset On the beach In the water Getting our toes wet Holding hands Swinging our arms together Oh, baby Been thinking about you lately Why don’t you come with me? Walk on the sand With me forever In my sunset

Walk down the line So technically inclined You walk in a path Left and right So very fast Straight as an arrow Down it how far can you walk ’Til you hear someone knock You’ve hit a broken heart And you stop Dead And the patterns in your head Fall flat On the ground ’Til you can’t hear a sound Well, maybe you weren’t listening It’s not that it’s too much It’s that it’s not enough I need more from you It’s not that you broke me It’s that you’re not fixing The parts you left unscrewed You left me bruised All up under my skin Tightrope walking on the edge of a mountain Facebook stalking ‘cause all there’s left to do is doubt him His actions and his thoughts Maybe he’s out there Somewhere Hoping that you’re not worried or concerned ‘Cause he’s doing just fine Wishing you’d come back So he could say ‘You’re Mine’ Well, at least he knows you’re trying You refuse to stop dead And let the patterns in your head Fall flat On the ground ’Til you can’t hear a sound Why don’t you open up your ears? It’s not that it’s too much It’s that it’s not enough I need more from you It’s not that you broke me It’s that you’re not fixing The parts you left unscrewed You left me, oh so Bruised, woah Crushed To The core The flowers you handed me Dried up and caught the breeze And floated away in the wind And though you sinned You’re still under my skin

about

The main emotion that is meant to thread through every song on “The Patterns in Your Head” was a universal feeling of loving and wanting that love returned. The songs embrace vulnerability and the power in accepting the brokenness and change that can sometimes come with loving someone. They all have a unique story with a unique sound to each one. “No Right” begins the album with a sassy, empowering beat that reeks of a lover granted their independence. Then “Give In” reveals the softer, more dependent side of the same lover, while “I Owe You” shows the compassion for whoever was left behind. In “I’m In Love” and “My Sunset”, the lover remembers how it felt in the peak of the romance, and “Under My Skin” unearths the ultimate vulnerability of being in love. Through this universal feeling came a universal sound; a sound that different generations can relate to without conforming to a certain “age” of music. The simplicity of just vocals and piano in which the songs were originally written come to life in these recordings with the addition of a few key ageless instruments.
