I went south at a young age
Looking for the queen's crown
No matter where I landed on the page
I had to keep on traveling down
Will I ever measure up
Will I ever be enough
Will I ever get your love
My eyes were always open wide
All I wanted is to be seen
I always had to compromise
I lived in the in between
Will I ever measure up
Will I ever be enough
Will I ever get your love
Music and Lyrics by Chaz Mechenbier and Nicki Baker

I asked myself if it's worth the strain
I asked myself what's left to gain
I asked myself to get through the pain
Will I ever measure up
Will I ever be enough
Will I ever get your love

Sand Dollar
02:41

Wishing we could walk along this beach forevermore
I reached into the water as the surf approached the shore
Fingers sifting through the sand for something I could keep
Something to remind us that the waters still run deep
You waited with anticipating as I searched around
You gave that smile I've come to know as I showed you what I found
A single little sand dollar come to say hello
To wish us luck and happiness and beg us let him go
Memories aren't kept in what we save
They're kept in things like clouds and dreams and waves
Music playing in my head or from another room
Takes me from December to a sunny shore in June
Searching for a sand dollar so we'll always know
A season comes for searching and one comes for letting go

There a place inside us all
That keeps secrets, secrets big and small
You've got yours and I've got mine, too
And the world spins around
Knowing quite a few
Nothings gonna change how I feel
But there are just some things
Some things that time cannot heal
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will carry, I'll carry it all for you
I may never know what happened then
But we're here now and I'm still your friend
In the end when the curtains close
You'll still be the one, the one
The one that I chose
Nothings gonna change how I feel
But there are just some things
Some things that time cannot heal
When there's nothing else that you can do
I will carry, I'll carry it all for you
Let's let history be history
Lets let tomorrow bring in the news
If you could only see what I see
Then you'd realize why
I love you like I do
Nothings gonna change how I feel
But there are just some things
Some things that time cannot heal
When there's nothing left that you can do
I will carry, I'll carry it all for you

I can't tell you why the snow loves the evergreens
I cant tell you where the ocean meets the stream
I can't tell you why the mountains live in the seas
But I do know that I love you
And as long as the stars shine over
All that had ever been
That's how long you'll be my friend
I don't know why the wind blows
Don't know where it's starts or where it goes
I don't know anyone who knows
Buy I do know that I love you
And as long as the stars shine over
All that had ever been
That's how long you'll be my friend
We're as deep as the water
With the rugged strength of the ground
Echoing through the canyon
Sometimes without a sound
But as long as the stars shine over
All that had ever been
That's how long you'll be my friend
That's how long you'll be my friend

Be Better
03:50

If there was a way
To go back to yesterday
I'd have so much to say
But I don't know how, I don't know how
But instead I have today
With so much to convey
And tomorrow's underway
So I'll tell you now, I'll tell you now
Be strong and follow your sound
Try not to let anyone down
But if you do get up off the ground
And be better, oh be better
Just look forward to
All the things you're gonna do
You'll barely even know it's you
But you'll be smiling, you'll be smiling
You'll find a friend or two
Old music will be new
All your dreams will be in view
So keep riding, just keep on riding
Be strong and follow your sound
Try not to let anyone down
But if you do get up off the ground
And be better, oh be better
Leave the world better than you found it
If there's something on the way go around it
If she wants to do something new
Just let her, she'll be better
Be strong and follow your sound
Try not to let anyone down
But if you do get up off the ground
And be better, oh be better

Love will make you stay awake at night
Love will prove you wrong, just when you think you're right
Love don't care who's story you think is true
Ain't it funny what love will make you do
Sometimes you can tell just who's to blame
Sometimes you don't even know your name
You chase everybody away to see if anybody comes back to you
Ain't it funny what love will make you do
You're gonna wear your boots when it's sunny
Give away all your money
Buying things you'll never need
It's a hunger you've gotta feed
Just when you've got everything in line
Here comes love to mess things up
One more time
Maybe you'll figure it out
Maybe you can tell me, too
Ain't it funny what love will make you do
You're gonna wear your boots when it's sunny
Give away all your money
Buying things you'll never need
It's a hunger you've gotta feed
Just when you've got everything in line
Here comes love to mess things up
One more time
Maybe you'll figure it out
Maybe you can tell me, too
Ain't it funny what love will make you do

How Much You Love Me
03:04

Who's to say what we deserve
Who's to say we're enough
Who sets the grading curve
When it comes to love
You can count on this to know
There is no wind too strong
There is no high or low
There is no right or wrong
There is no measurement
Nothing big enough to hold
There's only pleasure in
Always being told how much you love me
The way we speak the way you laugh
Need no words to explain
Cause the music in each photograph
Brings the sweetest refrain
There is no measurement
Nothing big enough to hold
There's only pleasure in
Always being told how much you love me
On the path we chose
With the writing prose
You are my song
With a note that flows
And words you compose
I could listen all day long
To how much you love me
There is no measurement
Nothing big enough to hold
There's only pleasure in
Always being told how much you love me

Tell Me How
03:30

You're like water to my soul but I'm drowning
The weight you hold on me is astounding
The grip you have is finally sounding
Like the start of my uncrowning
I can't take anymore
Its been too long
I'm gonna break for sure
If I don't right this wrong
Tell me how tell you how to let me go
I'm broken inside and things just aren't right
Words spoken with a smile to hide my dark eyes
I've shattered all that's good in my life
I still can't find a way to say good bye
I can't take anymore
Its been too long
I'm gonna break for sure
If I don't right this wrong
Tell me how tell you how to let me go
We can't take back yesterday
We can't undo this mess with anything we say
I can't take anymore
Its been too long
I'm gonna break for sure
If I don't right this wrong
Tell me how tell you how to let me go

Sweet Saigon
03:24
|

Your waves are so sweet
With your untrained sound
But all I see when I look around
I was calling you home to feel better
Reaching out just to hold on sending letters
Make me complete sing for me
Sweet Saigon
Lost in a sea of words
With nothing to say
Then I close my eyes
They see the light of day
I was calling you home to feel better
Reaching out just to hold on sending letters
Make me complete sing for me
Sweet Saigon
You traveled across the sea
All this way for me
Eight thousand miles to be precise
I understand
You slipped through many hands
Your six string band would change my life
Woah I was calling you home to feel better
Reaching out just to hold on sending letters
Make me complete sing for me
Sweet Saigon

Looking Back
03:16
|

|
I don't know how we got here
I thought we burned that bridge
I guess that it was made of steel
But I'm wondering where you are
The years have changed our circumstance
But you and I remain
All I ask is one more dance
To know there you are
Looking back, what would I change
One thing I know it would be my name
Even though we pushed the blame
There'd be so much I would keep the same
I wanna laugh until we cry
I wanna rest my neck on yours
Take a breath and close my eyes and say
Oh there you are
Looking back, what would I change
One thing I know it would be my name
Even though we pushed the blame
There'd be so much I would keep the same
Every moment means so much
Every little stolen touch
Every look that comes my way
Every time I want to stay
Looking back, what would I change
One thing I know it would be my name
Even though we pushed the blame
There'd be so much I would keep the same

Straight From the Sun

If life is a song, you're the melody
The kind you play when the working day is done
I'll be your harmony if you'll let me be
And we'll get our groove straight from the sun
When the night air blows
And she sees the moon is rising high
She gives me that look as if to say
Come on baby let's grab those keys and fly
If life is a song, you're the melody
The kind you play when the working day is done
I'll be your harmony if you'll let me be
And we'll get our groove straight from the sun
Everybody knows that the band's in town
And tonight they're gonna play our favorite tunes
With our without me she'll be out on the floor
You see her dancing right out of her shoes
If life is a song, you're the melody
The kind you play when the working day is done
I'll be your harmony if you'll let me be
And we'll get our groove straight from the sun
