about

This is a song that I co-wrote with friend and fellow artist from Ottawa, Amanda Rheaume. Primarily recorded at the N108 studio in Algonquin College, Ottawa.

lyrics

Summer nights
The stage is set just right
With glasses high
Buzzing off the buzz in the room and now its time
To pick up my guitar, hit the stage be a star tonight

Its midnight and the air is cooling down
You grab your jacket and head on out
Thats fine, I'll sing to you by myself
Leave the spotlight to watch me now

I don't play my heart out for these drinks
But if you only knew
Whats in these words that I sing
You might not leave so soon
I pour my life into every line
But none of this is coming through
I just wish you could know
That I'm playing for you

Where'd you go
I didn't even catch your name
But I'd like to know
Will I ever see you again

Show's done and I'm stepping off the stage
Waiting for the scenery to change

I don't play my heart out for these drinks
But if you only knew
Whats in these words that I sing
You might not leave so soon
I pour my life into every line
But none of this is coming through
I just wish you could know
That I'm playing for you

The city doesn't know you
The moment has lost you
But I'll wade through the doubts
The lights, they aren't on you
But someone will find you
I'm reaching out

I don't play my heart out for these drinks
But if you only knew
Whats in these words that I sing
You might not leave so soon
I pour my life into every line
But none of this is coming through
I just wish you could know
That I'm playing for you
