Guard Down (first ukulele original)

Find my band's EP on itunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/bright-the-morning-ep/id446387809

Thanks for watching!

This is the first song I've written on the ukulele. I'm realizing that all my songs tend to sound like lullabies. Anyway. My good friend, Lydia, helped me record this one. She's good luck, because this was the first video where I only had to do ONE take. I'm keeping her around, I decided...


Guard Down

I flipped the switch
of what lit up my eyes
powered down, anesthetized my heart
in hopes it might survive

You gave a gift
much to my surprise
I left their house
and went to bed that night more vulnerable than I'd like

I'm found
guard down
only here
life floods my veins again
I'm found
guard down
only here
and it unnerves me to no end

I hate you
somebody tell me why
I guess it needs to surface
but in the meantime, I hope that you don't mind...

I said I hate you
now somebody tell me why
I guess it needs to surface
but in the meantime, I really hope that you don't mind
