"Smolder" Live @ House Concert

Singing my original "Smolder" at a living room concert in Manchester, MD - Friday, August 7, 2009.

LYRICS (copyright 2009 Maura Jensen):

Never really been the sociable type
Tend to stick to myself on the quiet side
Sometimes its by choice
Oh, a little independence is well and good you know
But sometimes I just long to be a little less misunderstood

If I could just be me
If I could rest my soul on your shoulder
Would you take me in
Or would you leave my heart to smolder

Just last week I met a guy on the road
He really fell for me hard, as far as I know
He thinks I'm pretty and he likes how I sing
For all I know, that's everything

Well I don't think I really like him that much
But he says he loves me
So I guess I could stay a while and see

If I could just be me
If I could rest my soul on your shoulder
Would you take me in
Or would you leave my heart to smolder

Can you please help me
I'm slowly drowning
In my insecurities
Someone set me free
'Cause I am in need of rescuing

Oh God, where are you?
And why'd You have to make me this way
Gotta tell You right now, I don't like you that much
But You say you love me
So I guess I could stay a while and see

If I could just be me
If I could rest my soul on your shoulder
Would you take me in
Or would you leave my heart to smolder

Yes, the lyrics! I wrote wrong!

Sorry! Hahahahaha.

Beautiful song! This and the "What you had to lose" are my favorites!

And thanks for answer me.

@SwitNiar Ok, posted the lyrics for ya!

[SwitNiar]

Hi Maura!

I was watching your videos and this song is the one I liked most, I loved the melody!

How do I get the letter?

[maurajensen]

@SwitNiar Thanks for watching SwitNiar! Not sure what you mean by letter... maybe the lyrics?

I see this song was the inspiration for thinking about naming your album "smolder". However, I think the word alone is misleading. I get why you used the word in the song. It makes sense. But ppl are not going to get that on the 1st impression. They're gonna' see ur face on the cover & "Smolder "& think all sorts of other things. lol. Just my opinion b/c I love you & I want you to put your best foot forward. Anyway, I like this song, I LOVE your voice in this song, but it is not my fave. :)
