about

I confessed a lot on this EP, and I shared a lot of painful truths. I wanted the final song to be hopeful and as sincere and simple as can be. I wanted a listener to go through the EP, and, at the end, feel some sense of positivity. Like that feeling after a good cry; when you let it all out, and you feel some serenity. Stylistically, I know it's different, it's an acoustic song, but I felt like if I was being vulnerable, this would be as honest as I can be. It's a song I can sing with just a guitar and voice, and that is huge for me, as I've relied on anger and volume for most of my career-in the past, I was too scared to be soft and gentle.

lyrics

“Oh Lord, Give Me Time”

Look out/on the ocean
To the ocean/take me

Drown my demons/ in the water
Hope to lay/ these burdens free

So tired/my hands are shaking
Peace/ finally

Heartbroken but ready
Lost at sea


Chorus: Give me time, give me time, Oh Lord, give me time
It’s not my time, it’s not my time, Oh Lord, give me time


I know/ I don’t know you
But I hold you/ dearly

Lost faith in/understanding
Understanding/who I’m supposed to be

I’m praying on/ a bent knee
O heaven/hear my plea

Look up/an eagle is soaring
Man, I wish it was me

Chorus: Give me time, give me time, Oh Lord, give me time
It’s not my time, it’s not my time, Oh Lord, give me time
