SIDE BY SIDE DUETS VOL. 1
LYRICS

New Road
Duet with AM and Meiko

I walk
Back through what I have known
Seams sewn but they still show
Now we are slowly finding our way

And this
New road that we have made
Let it help us to mean what we say
Stand by you I will
Stand by you I will

Let the old house burn
To stem and stern
We love
Sometimes we learn
But we re just living now
Yeah we re just living now

I know
We all must move from our side
You re all that I wanted to find
Stand by you I will
Stand by you I will

Let the old house burn
To stem and stern
We love
Sometimes we learn
But we re just living now
Yeah we re just living now

Temporary One
Duet with AM and Susie Suh

I’m not sure what I’m doing here
I’m wondering what this day will bring
You’re far away but you’re still near
But I think that’ll be ok with me

I’d settle things but I’m headstrong
Now it’s just easier to fake my way
It’s not that I can’t resolve
It’s just that I don’t have much to say

Looking at those photographs
I cant’ see who’s right or wrong
I was your second hand
And you were just my temporary one

I'll Be Your Mirror
Duet with Julianna Raye and AM

Ill be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don’t know
Ill be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you’re home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don’t know
The beauty that you are
But if you don’t let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you wont be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you’re twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
cause I see you

Hear Me Sing
Duet With AM and Buddy

I thought you might unfold
Its me you could not hold
To love is to give in
The question is when

Sometimes timings all you have
Most things wont come on your demand
Now I know you dont agree
But I hope you can see
That I tried

So hear me sing now
Hey
Hear me sing now
Hey

Who you are is what you hide
I was yours, but you werent mine
So now youve drawn your line
But I hope it will fade
In time

So hear me sing now
Hey
Hear me sing now
Hey

Despite what we ve been told
We are living alone
So let us sing now
Hey
Let us sing now
Hey

Despite what we have been told
We are living alone
So let it all go
Let it all go
Let it all go
Let it all go
Let it all go

While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Duet with AM and Tina Dico
Cover of George Harrison's song

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it need sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
how to unfold you love
I don't know how someone controlled you
they bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
you were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
no one alerted you

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps

A Part of Something Missing

Have you noticed that I'm standing back on my feet
It doesn't matter if you don't feel like talking to me
Now I realize that everything was in my head
It doesn't matter what you're thinking if it cannot be said

Yeah you are always a part of something missing
Yeah you are always a part of something missing

I once believed in the words that you used to say
I was always moving closer now I'm moving away
I'm gonna move far away, far from it all
Nothings ever what it seems till you rise from your fall

Yeah you
You're always a part of something missing
Yeah you
You're always a part of something missing

Yeah you
You're always a part of something missing
Yeah you
You're always a part of something missing
Always a part of something missing
Always a part of something missing
