[Verse 1] Start the morning filling up the same cup Take the first sip, alright, bottoms up This will be the last familiar thing you’ll be doing for awhile Step on out, you’ll be covered by the sun’s rays It’s like they know you’re heading up and away Your nerves might be shaking, but they’re shaking to a rhythm and in style Oh, I’m far past my second thought I overthink and I’d love to stop There’s just no getting off this train Will I hope to be back with my chains? They say that there’s no place like home And that’s fine, but I think a tad overblown That said, when we leave the nest, it sure can’t hurt to have a guide Deep breaths, take a few little steps Still on the sand, we’re about to get our feet wet Let’s take a step out of our comfort zone and then We’ll take a walk on the wilde side [Chorus] Woah, oh oh Woah, oh oh Woah, oh oh A walk on the wilde side [Verse 2] End of Day 1, and I’m feeling just fine Topping off my second glass of peach wine Not much for us to do right now except to just kick back and hang I don’t dance, but this new hit makes me want to A new rhythm that puts me in a different mood We just met, but already, it feels like I’ve always been part of the gang In one day, there’s so much we’ve roamed For the first time, I don’t want to go home I’m ready to raise up my glass and make a new oath to abide When we’re done and we’re all ready to go back If we find ourselves in circles on the same track Let’s head on out on the path less traveled by And take a walk on the wilde side [Chorus] [Bridge] See, that wasn’t so bad In fact, I think I see myself coming back

Convention 02:30
Oh, it’s Monday morning and it’s time to greet the brightest dawn It didn’t feel like long, but a whole weekend came and gone You might think it’s just a memory, but I’ll make one thing clear I promise we’ll meet again next year We slept in just a bit too long and checkout tiem is noon I think I lost my passport and my ride’s arriving soon Let’s leave the sappy goodbyes for when we’re all downstairs Hurry up, now, we better get down there We haven’t left yet, and already, it feels Like the rush of everyday life hooked us in and spun its reel And I find myself pulling away A little longer, can we stay? No, I have quite the trip ahead and I’m already late, But if, somehow, I missed my flight, I think I’d be okay This might be goodbye, but we’ll say hello again And I’ll hug you as tightly as I can Finally, a moment of rest And as I reflect, I realized how much I’m blessed Oh, I sure won’t forget you I hope you won’t forget me Tuesday morning and it’s time to get back to the grind It’s easy to think that we both just left so much behind, But we’re not the same as we were a few days ago I’m still with you and you’re with me too What we have doesn’t have to end We don’t have to talk every day to be the best of friends Besides, I’m sure these months will fly by Goodbye, my friend, until next time! Until next time

Come, my love, and be with me, Little Liza Jane, Come, my love, and be with me, Little Liza Jane [Chorus] Oh, eliza, little ‘liza jane Oh, Eliza, little ‘liza, jane I got a house in Baltimore, Little Liza Jane, Street cars running by my door, Little Liza Jane. [Chorus] I've got a friend in San Antone, little Liza Jane Tumbleweeds and cactus grow, little Liza Jane [Chorus] I've got a friend in Providence, little Liza Jane Bluebird sitting on the fence, little Liza Jane [Chorus] I’ve got a friend in Chicago, little liza jane Come and feel the cold winds blow, little liza jane [Chorus] I got a friend in Tokyo Little Liza Jane Spring-time cherry blossoms grow, little liza jane [Chorus] [Solo] {Single gentle strum each chord] Come, my love, and be with me, Little Liza Jane, Come, my love, and be with me, Little Liza Jane

Bonfire 03:20
Breathe it in then let it out Taste the night time air The stars are giving us a show tonight Make a wish before it ends then brace yourselves, my friends Cross my heart, our future is bright I think you just rolled your eyes and that's fine, but that's fine, but let me say So many who's dreams came true once felt their lives were astray Nights like this are just perfect to kick back and contemplate Maybe with a couple friends who might be in the same state Boy, am I glad you're here It's the perfect time to say That I've been where you are Lost under the watchful stars Breath it in then let it out Taste that night time breeze Oh, I see a sign in the stars tonight Don't think too much now, my friends Hurry up before it ends Darkest times follow where it's bright Is the fire burning out or is the breeze stronger now? Looks like it's about that time, it's all my energy allows Just before we go, I'll say that I would never pretend That each one has their own wounds and their own ways to mend You just have to look inside while still looking ahead Believe me, I've been there too You can do it, I believe in you Stand up now and take a breath Taste the night time air The stars are ending their show for the night Whatever wish that you made, I'll always be your aid Through and through, I'm there with you

As nice as a bed would be, this hammock has a charm The red and orange sunrise might as well be my alarm I'll stand up, stretch, and yawn with one thing on my mind To later take off to the skies and leave my worries behind Guess I'll be up there working all throughout the day Still, there's no reason we can't have fun along the way I may take my time, but you can always count on me For now, I'm gone, solid gone To the skies where I'll be free Little from the start to end, that's the life I lead Good place, good friends, good music, what more do you need? I'm down for a party after the skies Kick back or just take a dive These are the moments that make me laugh and say "This is the life" I guess tomorrow, we'll be working through the day Still, there's no reason we can't have fun along the way It might take some time, but you can always count on me For now, I'm gone, solid gone I'll let the rhythm break me free There's always tomorrow There will be so many storms, but they'll all have an end Whenever I fall down, it won't be long until the skies are calling me again Alright now, friends. Thank you all for being here The party's winding down and my curfew is near Sleep well, tonight, be sure to take care of yourselves For now, I'm gone, but not for long You'll be seeing more of me I can't wait to see what tomorrow has in store for me Oh, what a day, one that I'll never forget Don't trouble me with troubles, leave every regret Tomorrow might have a surprise in store for us For now, I'm gone We'll both be sleeping well tonight I'm gone, solid gone Sweet dreams and good night Sweet dreams and good night

about

In this EP, I went back to my folk roots while still keeping some of the pop influence I gained in the past few years. The ukulele has become my favorite instrument to play and I feel that my creativity took off when I used it as the central point for these songs. I hope you all enjoy.
