Lyrics:

It's rainin' leaves

As the summer leaves

Walkin' on Main Street

The colors are changing

And the trees look like a painting

Breathe the air it's free for the taking

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

Shorter days

Less time to waste

When the sun is pokin' through the trees

It's leaving, it's evening, but I'm not retreatin'

Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

Find your comfort

Don't be shy if you really love her

Feeling one with nature

All the parts that I love

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

It's fall in New England

I got a feeling it's what I needed

Meaning:

Comin' Up Like the Sunrise is a song about checking in with yourself when you are not feeling fulfilled in life. It's about rising up to live life the way you genuinely aspire to live it. "We find what we seek," and so we should be clear as to what we are actually seeking in this life. We should be sure it's authentic to what we truly value.

Lyrics:

We find what we seek

And lately I've been searching, been stumblin' and

Nothin's real to me

Won't fall through the cracks

Been through it all and came back

And now the answers are callin' out to me

I'm taking back my time

I'm comin' up like the sunrise

And feelin' everything

You thought that I'd be far gone

Just know that it's so far from

The truth inside of me

Beauty from tragedy

I'm more than fine I'm

Comin' up like the sunrise

You find what we seek

I'm not afraid I'm not ashamed

To look for what I need

Not fallin' through the cracks

Been through it all and bounced back

And now the answers are callin' out to me

I'm taking back my time

I'm comin' up like the sunrise

And feelin' everything

You thought that I'd be far gone

Just know that it's so far from

The truth inside of me

Beauty from tragedy

I'm more than fine I'm

Comin' up like the sunrise

Meaning:

It's about your life stages leading up to this type of pure love. "Everything that I wanted, leading up until today. Led me up to this moment, and everything else fades away."

Lyrics:

On my third left turn

One more then I'm back to you

By now I've found the words

All my love is for you

'Cause you are with me now, yeah

Nothing can slow this down

'Cause you are with me now, yeah

Nothing can slow this down

It's like we both hold a mirror

Oh, in front of each other

We see the endless to love, that exists

Like the sun of the summer

'Cause you are with me now, yeah

Nothing can slow this down

'Cause you are with me now, yeah

Nothing can slow this down

And everything that I've wanted

Leading up until today

Led me up to this moment

And everything else fades away

'Cause you are with me now, yeah

Nothing can slow this down

'Cause you are with me now, yeah

Nothing can slow this down

Meaning:

Nature is a song about the similarities of human nature and mother nature. It's a reminder that there is more than one side of everything and everyone. Aspects of human nature and mother nature can be beautiful, healing, and peaceful. At the same time, other aspects can be harsh, dominating, and destructive. There is duality, which can be hard to grapple with. "Human nature, mother nature, seems we have the same creator."

Lyrics:

Peaceful down the river water flows

But floods can overcome and just erode

In beautiful blue skies hawks will soar

But when they need to eat they prey on squirrels

The sun that shines outside helps us see

But too much of one thing can just be blinding

So our relationship with nature is

Just a little bit complicated

Relationship with nature is

Just a little bit complicated

Oh, nature

Is it to be tamed, let loose, or taken care of

Oh, human nature, mother nature

It seems we have the same creator

Human nature, mother nature

It seems we have the same creator

Inside we burn with feelings of desire

Is it passion, strength, or just a wildfire?

We're looking everywhere for happiness

Do we aim for it, or will we always miss?

So our relationship with nature is

Just a little bit complicated

Relationship with nature is

Just a little bit complicated

Oh, nature

Is it to be tamed, let loose, or taken care of

Oh, human nature, mother nature

It seems we have the same creator

Human nature, mother nature

It seems we have the same creator

I love nature

But there are still some things I'm scared of

I love nature

There are still some things I'm afraid of

Oh, human nature, mother nature

It seems we have the same creator

Human nature, mother nature

It seems we have the same creator

Meaning:

Clean Slate is a song about wiping your slate clean and starting over. It's a reminder that sometimes the best we can do in a situation is just learn from it, move on, and try to do better next time rather than overthinking it all. "Can I get a clean slate, a fresh take? Somethings I'd like to wipe away and leave behind."

Lyrics:

My mind is like a jungle

Some things I need to talk through

Ya' know that I am grateful

To do all that with you

And all this overthinking

And complicated feelings

Can I get a

Clean slate

A fresh take

Some things I'd like to wipe away

Leave behind

Leave behind

Bring a clearer state of mind

Can I get a clean slate this time?

I think of a million ways

To analyze my brain

But regrets can only come

When I can't find the lesson

Can I get a

Clean slate

A fresh take

Some things I'd like to wipe away

Leave behind

Leave behind

Bring a clearer state of mind

Can I get a clean slate this time?

Looking back

On the past

It won't last

Can I get a

Clean slate

A fresh take

Some things I'd like to wipe away

Leave behind

Leave behind

Bring a clearer state of mind

Can I get a clean slate this time?

Meaning:

Time is a meditation on the way in which time affects us. As much as we try to control time, we cannot. "You can't bend it or stretch it." Time always continues. This song is about how we experience time, especially as we get older when time becomes more salient to us. Most importantly, it's a reminder to "make this time what you want it to be" and be more present.

Lyrics:

No one is fast enough

And it won't be outdone

You can't hold on too much

And don't try to reason, just listen…

Time heals but time steals your favorite things

And time's real, don't forget there's no bargaining

So make this time, what you want it to be, to be

And be

Where you're gonna be

There's no recipe

You can't bend or stretch it, you'll see

There's no replacement

So care for your relationships

Time heals but time steals your favorite things

And time's real, don't forget there's no bargaining

So make this time, what you want it to be, to be

And be

Where you're gonna be

Life goes on

In time we remember

We cannot

Live forever, forever

Time heals but time steals your favorite things

And time's real, don't forget there's no bargaining

So make this time, what you want it to be, to be

And be

Where you're gonna be

Meaning:

Keep Building is a song about the realization that so often, "life don't always turn out the way we, think it should be." The question is, what do we do when that happens? This song gives a suggestion that we can "keep building this live I'm living."

Lyrics:

Maybe the pieces of me, are held

Together by these, lessons I've been learning

All the while

Slowly, the tide was turning

Now I see, all that's been unseen, like the

Needs, the needs beneath the suffering, and

The words behind the hurt we wanna' be saying,

And all the joy that's been hiding

I keep building

Cause' life don't always turn out the way we

Think it should be

Some turn around, some hold out, but

That just ain't me, no

I'll keep, I'll keep building

This life that I'm living

Say what you mean but don't say much

more, 'cause a little breeze, can turn into a

Storm, and it'll all be lost, but even if, that's the

Course...

I keep building

Cause' life don't always turn out the way we

Think it should be

Some turn around, some hold out, but

That just ain't me, no

I'll keep, I'll keep building

This life that I'm living

I keep building

Cause' life don't always turn out the way we

Think it should be

Some turn around, some hold out, but

That just ain't me, no

I'll keep, I'll keep building

This life that I'm living

Feelings, the title of the album, is a journey into our emotions. It is a deep dive into trying to understand your emotions rather than pushing them away. Understanding emotions, and all their complexity, is the essence of therapy. This song tries to capture that experience in a catchy way.

Lyrics:

Feelings, I can't shake these

Feelings, I don't know what I'm

Feeling, can ya' help me

Can ya' help me, yeah

Feelings, move closer to your

Feelings, don't be shy find the meaning

'Cause they tell us that we're living

Without them we're not living

Maybe the problem

Is I'm trying to stop them

I should resolve them

Nervous, maybe I'm just

Nervous, I'm losin' all my focus

Startin' something new

That I never thought I'd do

Lonely, lately I've been

Lonely, I'm lookin' for the real thing

'Cause this ain't reality

These screens are mostly blinding

Feelings, I can't shake these

Feelings, I don't know what I'm

Feeling, can ya' help me

Can ya' help me, yeah

Feelings, move closer to your

Feelings, don't be shy find the meaning

'Cause they tell us that we're living

Without them we're not living

Maybe the problem

When you're feeling guilty

And drowin' in your responsibility

Just look at all the beauty

That will surely come

When you give all up to love

Feelings, I can't shake these

Feelings, I don't know what I'm

Feeling, can ya' help me

Can ya' help me, yeah

Feelings, move closer to your

Feelings, don't be shy find the meaning

'Cause they tell us that we're living

Without them we're not living

Maybe the problem

Is I'm trying to stop them

I should resolve them

Meaning:

Your Poet is a song about not having all the answers in this life, but still working with what you have. It is about using words in a positive, uplifting way and making meaning that can sustain you through the hard times. Your Poet is in many ways the essence and intention of Music Jerapy as a whole. "I'll be your poet. With beautiful words that keep you goin'."

Empty your mind

'Cause somethings heal with time

You're like a word all alone

Just waiting for a rhyme

I don't have the answers

But I'll take my chances

I'll be your poet, yeah

With beautiful words that keep you goin'

And brighten your world when

Life's a whirlwind

I'll be your poet

Be your poet

Be your poet

And make a melody

From each of your memories

And turn to the side

From another view, it might be true, this life

Leave the tragedy behind

I'll be your poet, yeah

With beautiful words that keep you goin'

And brighten your world when

Life's a whirlwind

I'll be your poet

Be your poet

Be your poet

We're gonna change the meaning

We're gonna change the meaning

With beautiful words that keep you goin'

And brighten your world when

Life's a whirlwind

I'll be your poet

Be your poet

Be your poet

Teardrops is essentially a song about "where do teardrops come from?" Crying can be a healing experience that makes you wonder what it's all about. This song tries to explain the meaning of teardrops.

Lyrics:

Where do teardrops come from?

Maybe they're like prisoners

Waitin' for their chance to run

Where do teardrops come from?

Maybe there's a reservoir

That overflows when life gets hard

Just a little

Teardrop

So much wisdom in this

Teardrop

My life is told inside this

Teardrop

Why do we wipe away our

Teardrops

Ya' know they heal us

Where do teardrops come from?

Maybe they're like a special key

That helps me unlock everything

Just a little

Teardrop

So much wisdom in this

Teardrop

My life is told inside this

Teardrop

Why do we wipe away our

Teardrops

You know they heal us

Waste not

Want not

And be grateful for what you've got

And every now and then

You can

Let your

Tears drop

So much wisdom in this

Teardrop

My life is told inside this

Teardrop

Why do we wipe away our

Teardrops

You know they heal us

I would never be who I am

Without a big sister showing me that I can

Some see challenges but we

In this universe

A smile like a queen

And she's got dreams

You know our love runs deep

Like red and green
