Maybe 03:49
lyrics

Find me in the spring When you’ve had some time Keep my memory resting in your mind Lose all expectations Find out what it’s like When the snow has fallen Look back on tonight Maybe then, when you’ve lived your life Maybe you will see me right It was always you Pictured in my mind And though I stayed away I felt you all the while What a warm sensation When you’re in my sight Once the snow has fallen Everything is light Maybe when I have lived my life Maybe, oh maybe, maybe I will see you right There, I am ready for you There, you are waiting for me I can see us far away Making up for all the days I wasn’t in your arms New adventures every day Do you see our lives that way When it’s said and done? Maybe in our second life Maybe, oh maybe, maybe I will see you right

Fly 03:12
lyrics

I’m coming to terms with you and I The light show is over and we’re both just passing time Butterflies all turn to knots It’s not your fault No one takes the blame None remain the same But if you stay I’ll stay But if you leap I’ll follow I don’t know if we can make it to the otherside, but I know We’ll be the ones who die trying Or we’ll be the ones who fly I’ve noticed a change in you and I We’re losing momentum and we’ve barely taken flight Falling fast to solid ground I need you now Look me in my face Tell me we’re okay And if you stay I’ll stay And if you lead I’ll follow I don’t know if we can make it to the otherside, but I know We’ll be the ones who die trying Or we’ll be the ones who fly We’ll be the ones who die trying Or we’ll be the ones who fly We’ll be the ones who fly

Shipwrecked 02:54
lyrics
buy track
You said, you said we would See the world together Our love would make the heavens stop & stare But in still water you get restless I can’t ride your tempest No I refuse to be your last chance romance Another night all alone I’m tired of staring at the moon Wishing you missed me at all I’d rather be shipwrecked Than drowning without your love Reaching for a glimmer of hope, pull me aboard, this is how it ends I’ve waited for your hand to hold but you’re not there I’d rather be shipwrecked instead I know I deserve much better I’ll untie this anchor keeping me at bay Yeah I’ve been tossed around, the waters rising now But I’m done holding out for you After the night comes the dawn Battered but I will carry on And I don’t need you at all I’d rather be shipwrecked Than drowning without your love Reaching for a glimmer of hope, pull me aboard, this is how it ends I’ve waited for your hand to hold but you’re not there I’d rather be shipwrecked instead

Let Me Go 03:02
lyrics

You wrote to say you’re up again Reading all the notes I left before you knew That we were over Even though I hurt a bit wondering what we could have been It wasn’t me You’re in love with how I loved you You’re better than you’ve ever been I’m watching you become the man you promised me To win me over You talk about me like a friend though we never talk anymore It’s clear to see That you’re in love with how I loved you Let me go Let me go Let me go Let me go Don’t believe what they told you Movie love bought sold you There’s a hundred hearts to know There within your sight Live your life And love will find you Let me go (You are free to live) Let me go (Fall in love again) Let me go (You are free to live) Let me go (Fall in love again)

Imagine 03:26

Don’t mind I just want to thank you For letting me know you For letting me in For showing me how to hope the best Is out there I’m well aware of the timing But darlin’ you’re shining Like stars out of reach Your presence is shimmering tonight, forever There’s only love There’s only light inside your eyes A vision of me where you are Until I know your touch I’ll imagine There’s only heart There’s only grace enough to know One day we will meet face to face Until you’re holding me I’ll imagine And now I’d like to remind you The reason I want you I hope you can see Nobody has ever moved my soul To sing so hopefully You lit a fire inside me To always remind me How sweet it can be When suddenly someone makes you smile At the mention of their name Imagining There’s only love There’s only light inside your eyes A vision of me where you are Until I know your touch I’ll imagine There’s only heart There’s only grace enough to know One day we will meet face to face Until you’re holding me I’ll imagine I will imagine that day Oh I’ll imagine

Dreams 04:07
lyrics

I used to think I used to think I was right enough Believed I was whole enough On my own Then in a dream In a dream I was different Broken and innocent In your arms Oh what I wouldn’t do to belong I wouldn’t go another road, narrow though Your way may seem alone I know, yes I know It leads to you Sweet memories Slip through my weary bones Leaving me all alone In the dark But in my dreams There it is different Under the shadow of Your holy wings Oh what I wouldn’t do to belong I wouldn’t go another road, narrow though Your way may seem alone I know, yes I know It leads to you Oh what I wouldn’t do to belong I wouldn’t go another road, narrow though Your way may seem alone I know, yes I know It leads to you

Hello November 03:15

I couldn’t tell He couldn’t say Old forgotten secrets we have swept away I packed a bag, unlocked the door Drew a heart upon the window on your second floor And I think I shoulder more than I ought I know It’s colder than I recall Since the last time you showed your face Hello hello November You always see me through Should I survive to see December I’ll be better somewhere new I never talk when there’s something to say Old familiar spirits throw it in my face I’m bolder now, oh but still a fool Running from the one I love, wearing down my shoes I think I shoulder more than I ought I know, I know It is colder than I recall Since the last time you showed your face Hello hello November You always see me through Should I survive to see December I’ll be better somewhere new I’ll be better somewhere new I’ll be better somewhere new

It's Been So Long 03:32

Oh so blessed to be restless With easy answers, half true friendships Oh so blessed with this anger A righteous anger toward injustice Seeking boldly, loving deeply Though we should be further on It’s been so long, so long & I believe it’s time It’s been so long, so long & I believe it’s time Oh so blessed to be weeping For all who suffer pain, starvation Oh so blessed to be foolish Enough to think that you can change this world Bringing comfort with God’s graces Though they say it can’t be done It’s been so long So long & I believe it’s time It’s been so long So long & I believe it’s time It’s been so long Oh so blessed to be foolish Enough to think that you can change this world

Radiant (As You Are) 03:36

You are as sweet as can be Guarding that heart beneath your sleeve Playing the songs that bare your soul Alone in your room where no one knows Home wasn’t home, not for you So little time, so much to prove Under the weight of heavy words You didn’t know you’re radiant as you are As you are I wish you could see yourself the way I do I wish you could see yourself when you are laughing All through your day I wish that you could see You’re radiant as you are As you are Greet every morning with a sigh Talk to the Lord with open eyes Stare down your soul to find your worth Surely you know you’re radiant as you are As you are I wish you could see yourself the way I do I wish you could see yourself when you are laughing All through your life I wish that you could see You’re radiant as you are As you are You are as sweet as can be Guarding that heart beneath your sleeve Playing the songs that bare your soul Surely you know you’re radiant As you are

Lost (The Lookout) 02:44
lyrics
buy track
Let’s drive away, find escape on lookout mountain Let’s spend the day soaking in the light around us Let’s break down, let’s get stranded a while Let the world go on without us Oh I’m getting lost in you Come warm my bones as we gaze upon the valley Come pull me close as you breathe the air around me I’m keeping time by sun in your eyes The rhythm of your heartbeat Oh I’m getting lost in you I have never known a deeper shade of green Colors all come to life Swimming in your eyes, diving by design Deep in your emotion Oh I, I get lost, lost in you Oh I’m getting lost in you

about

It has been a long and crazy 3 years since I released my first EP, 'Better This Way' with Mark Bryan and the Chucktown Music Group back in 2010. Since then I left my beloved hometown of Charleston, SC and planted new roots in Music City, Nashville, TN! I made it to the Vegas Round of "American Idol" in 2011. I co-wrote an EP for my friend Johnny Keyser. I worked for a year as a barista. I apprenticed two consecutive years at an organic farm. I went to Costa Rica to share music and God's love with young girls. I got a job teaching home-school to three of the coolest kids on the planet. I logged countless hours nannying the most precious babies. I moved out to a beloved little barn house in the middle of nowhere hill country. I entered my first serious relationship and fell in love. Hard. I made life long friendships. I recommitted my life to my Lord Jesus. And I worked it all out through music... because that's just what I do.

Every song on this album was written by yours truly. It was recorded & produced by students, co-workers and friends I've met since moving to Nashville a little over 3 years ago. It was a truly organic labor of love for all involved. Everything you'll hear was recorded in a clothes closet and mixed on a series of bedroom desks and kitchen tables. We fancy, huh? ;-)

A huge thank you goes to everyone who helped me record, produce and engineer this album. Thank you to my Daddy, Wayne Caparas, for never letting me forget who I really am in Christ. Thank you for always lending an ear and encouraging me in the good days and the bad. I love you forever! Thank you Audrey, Jordan, Sam, Esty, Baylie, Katelyn, Olivia and Kirsten for your unfailing friendship and for always keeping me laughing. Thank you Stephanie & Dan Allen for welcoming me into the FARMily with open arms. My time learning, planting, harvesting, sweating, praying and singing in the fields of Allenbrooke Farms restored my soul and energized me to grow love in every area of my life. I mean it! Thank you Mom for your prayers and for giving me a reason to experience first hand the sweet fruit of forgiveness and restoration available through Jesus! Thank you Nathan Keeler for not letting me friend-zone you. Thank you for being a man after God's heart and for loving me passionately, intentionally and relentlessly. I am a better daughter, friend, artist and woman of God because of your influence in my life. You know how much I love you! Thank you to my immediate family (Nana, Pops, Uncle Rally, Sam, Lauren, Rally & Bitty, Rahle Marsh & Eddie-O), my extended family in the Philippines, The Reids, my team Tae Bo family, Grace Church Nashville, the Keeler family, the entire team at S. Royal Oaks Starbucks, and all my fellow Music City artists for doing life with me and doing it well. I miss my friends and family in Charleston every single day but there is simply no place like Nashville for a songwriter... the abundance of support and the collaboration of artists for the sake of art is unrivaled and I am constantly inspired by the creative spirit that blows through these hills!
