There's something about you the way you move, the way you look at me There's something about the way you see things its like a change of scenery Everything about you, I just want more of but don't get any closer if this will last a little longer There's a chance I'll find myself saying (there's) Chorus: nothing, nothing i can do to keep my heart away from you i can't help it i can't tell you how much i try ...to get you off my mind to help me move on and just live my life I can't help it I can't tell you how much I try ('cause) whenever you're near its love that i fear II. i've been in this shell and I can't tell if I'm living at all I've been doing well on my own but maybe its just me who I'm deceiving Everything about me, leads right to you oh, I want to get closer but let me doubt a little longer 'till i turn it over and give in ('cause) Bridge: fear of falling so helplessly fear of losing, losing control ---- ©2009 all rights reserved. ---"my heart to yours". + Informações

Hello everybody! It's so great to finally be reunited with 2 of my very good friends/sisters Cathy Nguyen and Nessa Rica in Southern California. We just decided to meet up one evening to grab dinner and make videos! What else? haha! It's a "throwback" song of mine but I thought it was worth revisiting since Cathy and Ness dig the song. Both of them have covered "Meant To Be" at some point so why not cover with me!! ;) Cathy and Nessa will post separate videos (in the same video recording session) within the coming days.

Thought maybe I could buy myself a kind of life I see everywhere around me I finally realize if there's too much compromise shallow water can drown me life means more than what you own life is more than fitting in the mold I just want to feel the sun open my arms and run open my arms and run Bridge: feels like home dance like I dance when nobody's watching feels like home not a care in the world not a care in the world (chorus) - - - - -. + Informações

? SUBSCRIBE ? LIKE ? FAVORITE ? SHARE ? RINSE & REPEAT ? Hello everyone! So here's a song I wrote last month called "See The Stars." I originally wanted one harmony but when I found out that both Matt and Ernie would be able to meet up on one fine Wednesday (2.22.12), I was not only thrilled to spend time with them but also decided to make this song a TRIO and record a video! I've collaborated with these guys on separate occasions before and it felt great to be in one room with the both of them! I called it my "talent overdose" session. :) Hope you enjoy the song and I'm absolutely blessed to have your love and support. Special thanks to Jordan Laessig for recording/editing this!
