[Verse 1]
It's like you got my man on layaway in your head.
Working overtime to get him to layaway in your bed.
You looking at him like some diesel jeans on sale.
Because you can't afford retail…
If you can take this man.
I ain’t gonna stand in your way…
But are you willing to pay the price?
Because he sell lies
Like a corporate franchise.
Baby you can take him off of my rack.
Just know that you can’t give him back!

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me, when he
Flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Verse 2]
Are you happy now that you
Acquired my dead stock?
I bet you feel special,
After all of that pillow talk.
Do you feel in vogue…
Since you finessed him out of his clothes?
Or did a pick-me get picked,
Just to find out that she picked out a trick?
Now you regret what you stole, and old.
Boy giving you the ick.

[PreChorus]
That’s too bad, Sis.
Should have read the fine print.
If I was you, I’d be mad, Sis.
Got somebody defective, but you locked in.
Can’t take him back, but you can take it on the chin.

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me,
When he flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Bridge]
Yeah, I was invested initially.
Taking a capital loss, but it’s cool
I’m officially,
Done with inflating his value.
Plus his stock went down,
Since he had you.
I don’t buy back.
So it’s gone be a no from me when you try that.

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me,
When he flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me,
When he flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Outro]
If taking him will boost your self-esteem,
Then I'll take one for the team

Final Sale

[Verse 1]
I wanna know what we're doing.
Every fight we make it to the edge.
While I’m just trying to talk you off the ledge.
I don't think that I can wait for you to stop comparing me to your last man.
Girl you know ain't none of this fair and,
It ain’t much more I should be able to stand.

[PreChorus]
I guess you’re not used to being treated right.
Always seeing red like this a bullfight.
Bracing yourself for some non-existent pain.
Got a numb heart like you on novocaine.

[Chorus]
Hanging on to your distrust,
But my honesty is still a must.
And that ain’t a fair exchange. No, that ain't a fair exchange.
Why you still trying to fight me
While I'm talking to you nicely.
That ain’t a fair trade. No, that ain't a fair trade.
You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

[Verse 2]
How do I prove my feelings?
You say you don't see the love and that’s got me reeling.
I ain't never gave you nothing, if it ain’t all that I got.
But you don't wanna give my loyalty a fair shot.

[PreChorus]
I guess you’re not used to being treated good.
So you're trying to let this burn like some firewood.
You stay ready to go on the run.
'Cause you think I'm gonna leave when it's all said and done.

[Chorus]
Hanging on to your distrust,
But my honesty is still a must.
That ain’t a fair exchange. No, that ain't a fair exchange.
Why you trying to fight me.
If I'm talking to you politely.
That ain’t a fair trade. No, that ain't a fair trade.
You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

[Bridge]
So baby answer my question.
What are we doing here?
If my love ain’t strong enough to make it crystal clear,
I guess it’s good enough for you to take it as a souvenir.

[Chorus]
Hanging on to your distrust,
But my honesty is still a must.
That ain’t a fair exchange. No, that ain't a fair exchange.
Tell me why you wanna fight me?
While I'm trying to talk to you politely.
That ain’t a fair trade. No, that ain't a fair trade.
You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

Fair Exchange

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

[Verse 1]
Walked in like you built this bar from the ground up
Looking around for a lady with a half empty cup
We locked eyes and I knew just how this was gonna go
Buy me and drink and now you think I got something that I owe
You're talking like you're a professional nice guy
A high value alpha, yeah your ego's sitting sky-high
And you want me to study you like you're a work of art
Or better yet, a gift from God, oh baby, bless your heart

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Tell me why you're looking so confused
Has the whiskey hit you too hard
Get yourself together, sugar
You 're looking like you're about to fall-apart
I know this must be a shock, cause people treat you like a prize
But I see through the smoke and those designer lies
That you like to tell using that silver tongue
Thinking you can convince me you might be the one

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting

[Bridge]
Giddy up little cowboy,
Move along speed racer
I know you're not used to getting schooled boy
So let me give it to you straight, no chaser

[Verse 1]
Crystal clear, looking in your eyes
Got me questioning the laws of gravity tonight
You looking like a polished diamond,
No rough around the edges
Body smooth as butter
And you walking like Nay-owe-me in those wedges
Are you a masterpiece or mirage,
Are you another way for me to sabotage myself...

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't no fool.
Every laugh sounds a little too melodic
You ain't fooling me.
Every touch feels a little too exotic
So baby, tell me what's the catch
I know you 'bout to pull the rug
Think I'm walking right into your trap
And I'm not trying to back up

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Verse 2]
Now I should be pleased,
Taking you home with me tonight
Watching your body glow
When that moonlight hits you right
Instead I'm wondering how can I make you stay a little longer
It wouldn't be right if you left
The vibe between us is too strong

[Pre-Chorus]
Or maybe you're just fooling me
The chemistry is too harmonic
Are you fooling me.
Or was it all that gin and tonic
Just gone and tell me what's the catch
I know you 'bout to pull the rug
Think I'm walking right into your trap
If I was smart, I'd be backing up

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Bridge]
I’ve got my guard up, high as the ceiling
Baby I’m terrified of what I’m feeling
Cause girl I wanna let you in
When I should be saying stop
You step out of a size seven
While I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Outro]
Yeah, you look like a dream
You feel like the truth
But is it all as good as it seems
I’m still looking for the proof.
Don’t leave me hanging on the edge...
Don’t let me be the only one...
I'm just way too in my head...
Maybe we should just have a little fun

The Other Shoe

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Verse 1]
Somebody I love isn’t doing too well.
Right now they’re lying in a room so cold and sterile.
I’m worried about every breath they expel.
Asking for Your healing hand, to touch every single cell.

[PreChorus]
I know life is fleeting.
But God, please don’t take them yet.
I hope You’re talking to ‘em while they’re sleeping.
But God, I’m begging you to bring ‘em back.
They still got a lot of stories that they haven’t told yet.
And I’ve got so many things that I haven’t yet said.
So I’m crying out to you, Jesus.
Hear my prayer…

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Verse 2]
Oh, Great Physician,
Come and give the doctors wisdom.
Let them take care of my loved one,
With everything that’s in them.
May every single thing that they do,
Be done with the utmost care.
Let your loving Spirit,
Permeate the air.

[PreChorus]
I know life is fleeting.
But God, please don’t take them yet.
I hope You’re talking to ‘em while they’re sleeping.
But God, I’m begging you to bring ‘em back.
They still got a lot of stories that they haven’t told yet.
And I’ve got so many things that I haven’t yet said.
So I’m crying out to you, Jesus.
Hear my prayer…

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Bridge]
God this isn’t easy, but I’m trusting in You.
I know that Your ways are higher,
But I still wanna tell You what to do.
Sometimes the hardest thing to pray,
Is let Your will be done.
If this doesn’t go my way,
Let me still proclaim you as the Sovereign one.

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

Crying Out (A Prayer for Healing)

[Verse]
I walk into rooms and trip on rugs
You give me your hand to shake
While I go in for the hug
Then we switch positions
And get it wrong again
I don't think you're mad
But I still wanna make amends
Yeah I'm the one who
Says sorry for simply existing
Don't make it to the punchline of jokes
'Cause nobody's listening

[Chorus]
If there was an awkward town
Then I would be the mayor
I'll sit in the awkward silence
I'll send up an awkward prayer
Lock the key to the city in city hall
I should try to pick it
But I'll just stand against this wall
Smile at the citizens as they pass by
And enjoy the awkward silence

[Verse 2]
I cry when I
Tell a nice stranger goodbye
I stop watching TV shows when
My favorite characters die
I'll think about something that I did
It was grade school, but I still cringe
There's no method to my madness
And my inner-self is unhinged
Oh

[Chorus]
If there was an awkward town
Then I would be the mayor
I'll sit in the awkward silence
I'll send up an awkward prayer
Lock the key to the city in city hall
I should try to pick it
But I'll just stand against this wall
Smile at the citizens as they pass by
And enjoy the awkward silence

[Bridge]
My social battery is at four percent
And I'm analyzing every text message I've sent
Plus I just waved at someone
Who was waving at the someone behind me
I own it.
There's nobody more awkwarder than me.

[Chorus]
Oh yeah
If there was an awkward town
Then I would be the mayor
I'll sit in the awkward silence
I'll send up an awkward prayer
Lock the key to the city in city hall
I should try to pick it
But I'll just stand against this wall
Smile at the citizens as they pass by
And enjoy the awkward silence

Awkward Silence

[Verse 1]
You say you finally ready to come off the bench.
I wanna see if you can handle my defense.
Baby, the ball been in your court.
But you better watch the clock,
'Cause you coming up short.
You ain't used to going one-on-one.
But that's how it's gotta be,
'Cause I'm a ball hog and
The only center is me.
The clock is ticking now.
Time is running out.

[Chorus]
Look at the shot clock.
Enough with the small talk.
If you trying to make a move,
You better do it, do it, do it.
If you want it,
You gotta prove it, prove it, prove it.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.
Look at the shot clock.
Look at the shot clock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.

[Verse 2]
Ain't no timing out,
You gotta go all in.
Let me find out you a player,
And I'm callin,
Foul.
I gotta know your position before we lay up.
I ain't trying to be just a number in your line up.
No. That's a violation.
Quickest way to lose the game,
And ain't no consolations.
Baby, what you choosing?
The clock is ticking now.
Better hurry up, time is running out!

[Chorus]
Look at the shot clock.
Enough with the small talk.
If you trying to make a move,
You better do it, do it, do it.
Come on shoot your shot,
Baby it ain't nothing to it, to it, to it.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.
Look at the shot clock.
Look at the shot clock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.

[Bridge]
Got the crowd leaning in like, woo!
Everybody trying to see what you gone, do!
Baby the clock is running down.
You gone let a 3 second violation take you out.

[Chorus]
Look at the shot clock.
Enough with the small talk.
If you trying to make a move,
You better do it, do it, do it.
If you want it,
You gotta prove it, prove it, prove it.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.
Look at the shot clock.
Look at the shot clock.
Tick tock, tick tock.
Look at the shot clock.

Shot Clock

[Verse 1]
I'm not really sure if I'm ready for this
But maybe it's a good time to take a chance
Got a notification that I should dismiss
Or should I go ahead and give it a glance
Cause I already seeyou're different
Just by the way that you present yourself
And would it really hurt to just take a moment
And talk to somebody who don't seem like everybody else

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re in my messages
Acting like a bona fide gentleman
I finally got to the place where I don't need a man
But something's telling me this is a part of God's plan

[Chorus]
So I'ma go head and click on this notification
I'm keeping my guard up, I hope that you're patient
Tell me are you ready to talk for a minute
Cause I got some questions, yeah I got some questions

[Verse 2]
like I need to know if you're really about what you say
Do you go to church? Do you take time to pray?
Can you show me how you treat your mama?
Are you cordial with your ex?
Cause I don't need no drama.
Are you able to express your feelings?
Cause I need a man who's been through the healing

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re in my messages
Acting like a bona fide gentleman
I think that I'm ready to meet you
And see if all that you told me is true

[Chorus]
So I'ma go head and click on this notification
I'm keeping my guard up, I hope that you're patient
Tell me are you ready to talk for a minute
Cause I got some questions, yeah I got some questions

[Bridge]
You don’t have to overthink it
Just one word
We’ll start from there
You drop a time
I’ll send you a pin
I’ll be waiting
Yeah I’ll see you there

[Chorus]
I'ma go head and click on this notification
I'm keeping my guard up, I hope that you're patient
Tell me are you ready to talk for a minute
Cause I got some questions, yeah I got some questions

[Chorus]
I'ma go head and click on this notification

Tell me are you ready to talk for a minute

It's like you got my man on layaway in your head.
Working overtime to get him to layaway in your bed.
You looking at him like some diesel jeans on sale.
Because you can't afford retail…
If you can take this man.
I ain’t gonna stand in your way…
But are you willing to pay the price?
Because he sell lies
Like a corporate franchise.
Baby you can take him off of my rack.
Just know that you can’t give him back!

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me, when he
Flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Verse 2]
Are you happy now that you
Acquired my dead stock?
I bet you feel special,
After all of that pillow talk.
Do you feel in vogue…
Since you finessed him out of his clothes?
Or did a pick-me get picked,
Just to find out that she picked out a trick?
Now you regret what you stole, and old.
Boy giving you the ick.

[PreChorus]
That’s too bad, Sis.
Should have read the fine print.
If I was you, I’d be mad, Sis.
Got somebody defective, but you locked in.
Can’t take him back, but you can take it on the chin.

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me,
When he flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Bridge]
Yeah, I was invested initially.
Taking a capital loss, but it’s cool
I’m officially,
Done with inflating his value.
Plus his stock went down,
Since he had you.
I don’t buy back.
So it’s gone be a no from me when you try that.

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me,
When he flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Chorus]
Final sale! No returns or exchanges.
Don’t send him back to me,
When he flips and he changes.
You made that impulse buy,
Now you can’t handle the tax that applies.
Better luck next time.
We don’t do second-hand merchandise.

[Outro]
If taking him will boost your self-esteem,
Then I'll take one for the team

Final Sale

[Verse 1]
I wanna know what we're doing.
Every fight we make it to the edge.
While I’m just trying to talk you off the ledge.
I don't think that I can wait for you to stop comparing me to your last man.
Girl you know ain't none of this fair and,
It ain’t much more I should be able to stand.

[PreChorus]
I guess you’re not used to being treated right.
Always seeing red like this a bullfight.
Bracing yourself for some non-existent pain.
Got a numb heart like you on novocaine.

[Chorus]
Hanging on to your distrust,
But my honesty is still a must.
And that ain’t a fair exchange. No, that ain't a fair exchange.
Why you still trying to fight me
While I'm talking to you nicely.
That ain’t a fair trade. No, that ain't a fair trade.
You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

[Verse 2]
How do I prove my feelings?
You say you don't see the love and that’s got me reeling.
I ain't never gave you nothing, if it ain’t all that I got.
But you don't wanna give my loyalty a fair shot.

[PreChorus]
I guess you’re not used to being treated good.
So you're trying to let this burn like some firewood.
You stay ready to go on the run.
'Cause you think I'm gonna leave when it's all said and done.

[Chorus]
Hanging on to your distrust,
But my honesty is still a must.
That ain’t a fair exchange. No, that ain't a fair exchange.
Why you trying to fight me.
If I'm talking to you politely.
That ain’t a fair trade. No, that ain't a fair trade.
You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

[Bridge]
So baby answer my question.
What are we doing here?
If my love ain’t strong enough to make it crystal clear,
I guess it’s good enough for you to take it as a souvenir.

[Chorus]
Hanging on to your distrust,
But my honesty is still a must.
That ain’t a fair exchange. No, that ain't a fair exchange.
Tell me why you wanna fight me?
While I'm trying to talk to you politely.
That ain’t a fair trade. No, that ain't a fair trade.
You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

You gotta meet me halfway.
Gotta quit being afraid.
‘Cause I can’t keep falling on the blade.
For mistakes another man made.

Fair Exchange

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

[Verse 1]
Walked in like you built this bar from the ground up
Looking around for a lady with a half empty cup
We locked eyes and I knew just how this was gonna go
Buy me and drink and now you think I got something that I owe
You're talking like you're a professional nice guy
A high value alpha, yeah your ego's sitting sky-high
And you want me to study you like you're a work of art
Or better yet, a gift from God, oh baby, bless your heart

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

[Break]

[Verse 2]
Tell me why you're looking so confused
Has the whiskey hit you too hard
Get yourself together, sugar
You 're looking like you're about to fall-apart
I know this must be a shock, cause people treat you like a prize
But I see through the smoke and those designer lies
That you like to tell using that silver tongue
Thinking you can convince me you might be the one

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

[Break]

[Bridge]
Giddy up little cowboy,
Move along speed racer
I know you're not used to getting schooled boy
So let me give it to you straight, no chaser

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

[Chorus]
You might want to slow it down just a little bit
'Cause you're moving like you don't need a permit
Like you've never seen a stop sign
Like you're always the first in line
Are you used to getting in the club without waiting
Taking the ladies home, and it ain't no hesitating
If you never had your advances reimbursed
Well, baby, let me be the first

Be the First

[Verse 1]
Crystal clear, looking in your eyes
Got me questioning the laws of gravity tonight
You looking like a polished diamond,
No rough around the edges
Body smooth as butter
And you walking like Nay-owe-me in those wedges
Are you a masterpiece or mirage,
Are you another way for me to sabotage myself...

[Pre-Chorus]
I ain't no fool.
Every laugh sounds a little too melodic
You ain't fooling me.
Every touch feels a little too exotic
So baby, tell me what's the catch
I know you 'bout to pull the rug
Think I'm walking right into your trap
And I'm not trying to back up

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Verse 2]
Now I should be pleased,
Taking you home with me tonight
Watching your body glow
When that moonlight hits you right
Instead I'm wondering how can I make you stay a little longer
It wouldn't be right if you left
The vibe between us is too strong

[Pre-Chorus]
Or maybe you're just fooling me
The chemistry is too harmonic
Are you fooling me.
Or was it all that gin and tonic
Just gone and tell me what's the catch
I know you 'bout to pull the rug
Think I'm walking right into your trap
If I was smart, I'd be backing up

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Bridge]
I’ve got my guard up, high as the ceiling
Baby I’m terrified of what I’m feeling
Cause girl I wanna let you in
When I should be saying stop
You step out of a size seven
While I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Chorus]
I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop
Sitting here wondering when that damn balloon's gonna pop
Is this a lifetime or are we just here for the moment?
Let me know before you get hold of my heart and you own it.

[Outro]
Yeah, you look like a dream
You feel like the truth
But is it all as good as it seems
I’m still looking for the proof.
Don’t leave me hanging on the edge...
Don’t let me be the only one...
I'm just way too in my head...
Maybe we should just have a little fun

The Other Shoe

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Verse 1]
Somebody I love isn’t doing too well.
Right now they’re lying in a room so cold and sterile.
I’m worried about every breath they expel.
Asking for Your healing hand, to touch every single cell.

[PreChorus]
I know life is fleeting.
But God, please don’t take them yet.
I hope You’re talking to ‘em while they’re sleeping.
But God, I’m begging you to bring ‘em back.
They still got a lot of stories that they haven’t told yet.
And I’ve got so many things that I haven’t yet said.
So I’m crying out to you, Jesus.
Hear my prayer…

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Verse 2]
Oh, Great Physician,
Come and give the doctors wisdom.
Let them take care of my loved one,
With everything that’s in them.
May every single thing that they do,
Be done with the utmost care.
Let your loving Spirit,
Permeate the air.

[PreChorus]
I know life is fleeting.
But God, please don’t take them yet.
I hope You’re talking to ‘em while they’re sleeping.
But God, I’m begging you to bring ‘em back.
They still got a lot of stories that they haven’t told yet.
And I’ve got so many things that I haven’t yet said.
So I’m crying out to you, Jesus.
Hear my prayer…

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Bridge]
God this isn’t easy, but I’m trusting in You.
I know that Your ways are higher,
But I still wanna tell You what to do.
Sometimes the hardest thing to pray,
Is let Your will be done.
If this doesn’t go my way,
Let me still proclaim you as the Sovereign one.

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

[Chorus]
I’m crying out to You. I’m asking for healing.
You said, if I just cry out to You. You will be listening.
I love them so much, but You love them even more.
And we need a miracle like never before.
So I’m crying out to You, Jesus.
Hear my prayer for the broken body.

Crying Out (A Prayer for Healing)

[Verse]
I walk into rooms and trip on rugs
You give me your hand to shake
While I go in for the hug
Then we switch positions
And get it wrong again
I don't think you're mad
But I still wanna make amends
Yeah I'm the one who
Says sorry for simply existing
Don't make it to the punchline of jokes
'Cause nobody's listening

[Chorus]
If there was an awkward town
Then I would be the mayor
I'll sit in the awkward silence
I'll send up an awkward prayer
Lock the key to the city in city hall
I should try to pick it
But I'll just stand against this wall
Smile at the citizens as they pass by
And enjoy the awkward silence

[Verse 2]
I cry when I
Tell a nice stranger goodbye
I stop watching TV shows when
My favorite characters die
I'll think about something that I did
It was grade school, but I still cringe
There's no method to my madness
And my inner-self is unhinged
Oh

[Chorus]
If there was an awkward town
Then I would be the mayor
I'll sit in the awkward silence
I'll send up an awkward prayer
Lock the key to the city in city hall
I should try to pick it
But I'll just stand against this wall
Smile at the citizens as they pass by
And enjoy the awkward silence

[Bridge]
My social battery is at four percent
And I'm analyzing every text message I've sent
Plus I just waved at someone
Who was waving at the someone behind me
I own it.
There's nobody more awkwarder than me.

[Chorus]
Oh yeah
If there was an awkward town
Then I would be the mayor
I'll sit in the awkward silence
I'll send up an awkward prayer
Lock the key to the city in city hall
I should try to pick it
But I'll just stand against this wall
Smile at the citizens as they pass by
And enjoy the awkward silence

Awkward Silence

About Me

Bio

Most songwriters focus only on the melody; I focus on the infrastructure. With a professional background in IT, combined with my passion for storytelling through music, I approach my catalog like a high-level system—every lyric is a deliberate data point, and every hook is engineered for maximum "uptime" in the listener's head.

My creative operating system is built on Indie-Pop and R&B, but my architecture is entirely genre-fluid. This systematic approach has fueled a diverse catalog of 50+ works, from the radio-tested success of "Love University" (featured on 100.3 The Beat in St. Louis, MO) to precision-engineered jingles, stage productions, and personalized children's music.

What I Bring to the Session:

The Vocal Blueprint: I don't just provide lyrics; I design the vocal arrangement. My work includes intricate layering and guide textures designed to help the recording artist shine.

Verified Integrity: In a digital-first industry, I prioritize security. Every song in my master catalog is concepted by me and verified through AuthentiTrack, ensuring 100% transparent IP and clean chain of title for sync and placements.

Bespoke Scalability: Whether you need a 30-second commercial jingle or an expansive narrative for a stage production, I deliver verified, high-impact musical assets on a professional timeline.

Affiliations: BMI | Songbay Verified Artist

I am looking to collaborate with producers, sync agents, and vocalists who value a fusion of lyrical soul and technical precision.

Let’s build a track that doesn't just play—it sticks.
