  1. 1Music In Me

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    Always had the music in me
    Like it was the only way for my mind to be free
    Always quick to write a lyric, never hard for me to hear it
    I've got a melody inside of me
    And I can get lost up in a song, got it running through my head all day long
    I write it down like I'm supposed to, and I don't hear it the way most do
    I've got a melody that could go on and on

    Music in me
    My melody goes high and low and in between
    I got the music in me

    I remember the first time in my life, singing standards in the background every night
    Got 100 bucks and a couple of drinks, we're talking humble beginnings
    Always dreaming I'll be on a big stage under lights
    And that was enough to keep me going
    Steady writing down these words, never knowing
    At the age of 29, I'd be on the Billboard chart, so high
    That was the moment I knew music saved my life

    Chorus

    Yeah, I got the music
    Knowin' it hit me every time, time
    Yeah, I've got the music
    Gonna free my soul, my spirit and my mind

    Yeah, I got the music
    Gonna free my state of mind
    Yeah, I got the music

  2. 2Time On You feat. Keyon Harrold

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    Now you got my heart and we're all in it
    And from the get-go, baby, from the beginning
    I knew it was true, the only man I wanted
    He was so fine, I'd have to make him mine
    But you know patience really isn't in my nature
    I find it so hard, so difficult
    But when it comes to love, guess I'll just have to wait
    And gotta promise myself

    I'm gonna take my time on you
    Really take my time on you
    Maybe I'll be your dream come true
    So I'm gonna take my time on you

    Well he's so strong, super fit
    And can't forget to mention 'bout his big desire to make me smile
    And baby all the while
    Got a love so good
    (Keeps me comin')
    It keeps me comin' around
    (Keeps me comin')
    I think I'm ready for the big league
    Ain't too proud, babe, so here I am, down on my knees
    And then he said to me, "Baby, I aim to please
    Just wait and see"

    Chorus

    (Time on you)
    (Time on you)
    (Dream come true)
    (Time on you)

    Chorus

  3. 3Simple (Make Love)

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    I like the way you love me, love the way you touch me
    No, it's never too much, babe, that's why I always come around

    I like the way you hold me, the way your arms console me
    Boy, you simply control me, it's like I'm lost under a spell

    So tonight, I'll do my makeup and put on a dress
    The one you're always telling me that I look best in, baby
    And when you wanna go, boy, I'll say let's
    Now you've got a night set for success, wouldn't you say?
    And I think that, baby, you ought to stay

    Because I wanna make love to you
    It's never too much, yeah, I know exactly what I wanna do
    I wanna make love to you
    No, it's never too much, yeah, I know exactly what I wanna do
    I wanna make love

    It's the way you make me feel, it's your love that's so surreal
    Now I'm high on cloud nine all the time, and baby, you blow my mind
    That a girl like me could be so lucky to find you

    Chorus

    I wanna make, I wanna make love
    I wanna make, wanna make love
    I wanna make love
    Oh, it's just that simple

    Chorus ×3

    So could be the floor, maybe the bed
    And if you wanted to try the kitchen, I guess
    You want a new position? Baby, say less
    And baby, I know you're down and you're thinking ahead
    A little foreplay in the foyer, now we made it to the floor again
    Baby, I'm trying to say is I wanna make love

    Oh, it's just that simple

  4. 4Serenity Prayer

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    Better with or better off without him?
    (Yeah)
    Whenever we stop, I know we'll just restart it
    (Uh oh)
    Every turn brings me right back to you
    (Said it'll bring me right back to you)
    Every time I bet I'll just regret it
    (Bet I'll regret)
    Turnin' around and sayin' I'll forget him
    (Sayin' that I'll forget)
    Every chance you play me like your fool
    (While you play me like a fool)
    Yeah!

    Tried to find a reason why I should leave him
    Weighed the pros and cons and it turns out after all
    If you lie to yourself long enough, you'll believe it
    See rose-colored and before you know it, you fall
    But why do I?

    Because I love him and I won't leave him
    (I love)
    Easy to find a reason
    (Easy to find)
    Better to say, I am willing to stay
    While all the while wondering if I'm

    Chorus

    How can it be you really can't see
    That the person you thought he was is really not him?
    Ego may play a big role in the game
    I'll bet it's easy to see if you were not me
    That the path I've been walking really isn't that clear
    Mirror may show you what you wanna know
    Oh, and he knows

    'Cause he knows that where he goes I'll follow
    (I'll follow)
    Knows that I'll be here tomorrow
    I'll be by his side for the rest of my life
    All the while wondering if I

    Chorus

    So please grant me the serenity
    To accept the things I cannot change
    And will I have the clarity
    To be wise and know we are not one and the same

    Chorus

    While you play me like a fool, yeah
    My baby, oh my love, but you play me
    Yeah you play me like a fool, yeah
    Oh, oh oooooh
    Yeah, yeah

    So I ask myself, why don't you leave him?
    After all of his lies, I believe him
    Yes, I still love you after all that you do
    'Cause he knows that where he goes I'll follow
    Knows that I'll be there tomorrow
    Baby you got me, forever your fool

  5. 5Homewrecker

    Written byLindsey Webster · Lorenzo Johnson · Christian Wright

    Where do I begin? It was human nature
    Purely innocent, he was no more than a friend
    Surely did not intend to have my head on his chest
    His lips kissing my neck, and I did not expect
    All the chemistry, and like a chain reaction
    Sooner or later, I knew that I had to mention
    'Bout the girl he had, and how the time that we'd spent
    Was something he left unsaid in a deleted text

    I know you know that I would never
    Be the kind of girl you see whenever
    You must know that I would never
    Ever, be a homewrecker

    I know you know that I would never
    Be the kind of girl you see whenever
    You must know that I would never
    Ever, be a homewrecker

    Funny thing is honestly
    I see a picture perfect of you and me
    (See a picture perfect)
    But you know that I will never be
    (I will never, I will never, no)
    The one to make you choose between her or me

    Now let me take it back, tell it how it started
    'Cause he wasn't mine to have even if I wanted
    Was a surprise to me when he told me it was he
    Being told that he should sleep lonely down by the TV
    So the tables turned, and I knew that in the moment
    The boy was all mine to have him if I wanted
    But you gotta see I wouldn't take him if he
    Was taken happily, because I'll never be

    Chorus

    But you gotta understand
    Though I'd really like to have you for my man
    (Like to have you for my)
    Is it worth the price that I would pay
    (Is it worth it? It isn't worth it, no)
    To be the reason you would choose to go or stay?

    Chorus

  6. 6Ode To Mary Jane

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    You make me wanna lay it back, kick up my feet
    Take a minute, maybe two, to breathe
    (Just breathe)
    From the moment when I'm waking up till I go to sleep
    Yeah, you lift me up to a higher place
    And yeah, you always pick me up, make me feel at peace
    When I'm feeling stressed and I need release
    (I need release)
    No, there ain't a better medicine, takes away the pain
    Makes my love for you easy to explain
    So right now we're gonna light it up
    (Light it up)
    Enjoy the taste while we listen to
    An ode to Mary Jane
    (While we listen to Mary)

    Mary, Mary Jane
    (This is an ode to Mary Jane)
    Mary, Mary Jane
    (This is an ode to Mary Jane)

    From the moment I'm waking up till I go to sleep
    (This is an ode to Mary Jane)
    You're always helping to lift me up to a higher plane
    (This is an ode to Mary Jane)
    From the moment when I'm waking up, lift my spirits up
    (This is an ode to Mary Jane)
    Right now we're gonna enjoy the taste
    While we listen to Mary Jane
    (This is an ode to Mary Jane)
    Ode to Mary Jane

    Chorus

    Ode to Mary Jane

  7. 7The Truth Is Never Told feat. Isaiah Sharkey

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    Baby, was it easy for you to tell me
    "You gotta leave?"
    That the girl in your dreams really wasn't me
    You figured it out, I wasn't the one
    Oh, but little did I know
    And it's a heartbreak I just can't take
    But you seem to be moving on

    I've been thinking a lot thinking about better days
    (Oh the better days)
    The memory of all we had back when you were still here
    (Oh it lingers)
    Forgetting about all of the ways
    You really never measured up for me
    But the thing about it, I can't take
    Is when I lay at night, I see your face

    I'm trying, but it ain't that easy for me to just let it go
    Put it all in the past, just act like I'm a girl you don't know
    Baby, tell me was I just supposed to move along?
    And was the house we built just not a home?
    I put the blame on you, the blame on me
    But that gets so old
    And the truth is never told

    I realize the truth is sometimes you and I
    Cannot always expect to see eye to eye
    But, I open up, you push me away
    And then you say you don't have the time of day
    To even think about or contemplate
    And that this is the only way

    So I've been drinking a lot, thinking about our wedding day
    (We were gonna get married in February)
    And the ring you put on my finger and then took away
    (You promised)
    You promised forever, I was in love
    (I was in love)
    And then the script was flipped and we were done
    But the thing that I just can't escape
    Is that there's no one here to take your place

    Chorus ×3

    No, it is never told
    No, it is never told

    If I'd had known you'd be such a letdown
    Would never have bet all my love on you
    Gonna maybe take me a minute to get it all down
    Because I feel betrayed by a man that I loved
    And I thought I knew
    But you know that there's still a part of me
    Thinks that you could change
    And that we could save the love that remains
    Just didn't think you'd be such a letdown
    A letdown, a letdown

    Back in love, baby
    Like where we started's where I really wanna be

  8. 8Eternal Angel

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli · Omar Viramontes

    It was a beautiful day when we learned you were on the way
    A little scared, a little unprepared, but we would not let that get in the way
    I couldn't wait to see the parts of him and you and the little parts of me
    Oh, little did we know we would never get the chance to meet

    Our eternal angel
    You are my son in the sky
    Wherever I go, I will know
    You will always be by my side

    I may never know your smile
    (No, I'll never know your smile)
    Though I may never know
    I'll wonder all the while
    And always think about…

    Chorus

    Oh, didn't wanna let go
    No, I did not, I didn't wanna let go
    Oh, didn't want to say goodbye
    Didn't want to say goodbye

    And though we may not know where it is we go
    When our spirit's free
    I will believe that you're always here with me

    I know everything will be all right
    And I know because you will always be my guiding light
    For the rest of my life

    Chorus ×2

  9. 9What Is Meant To Be

    Written byLindsey Webster · Keith Slattery · Rob Chiarelli

    All the people you'll meet, all the places you'll see
    In this whole wide world, you'll be bound to meet those who disagree

    Who's to say at the end of the day
    Whether all the shit you've weathered was worth it or in vain?
    If you listen to the doubts you got, get stuck in your head
    You will lose it in the moment if you forget
    What is meant to be will be

    When I'm out on the road, every place that I go
    Do my best to take in all the different people and the ways that they live

    Chorus

    Solos

    What is meant to be will be, oh yeah, but oh yeah

    Chorus ×3

    Solos

    Oh, what is meant to be
    Oh, what is meant to be will be, be

  10. 10Cali feat. Kev Choice

    Written byLindsey Webster · Lorenzo Johnson · Kev Choice

    I'm going to Cali where the sunshine shines
    Yeah, I'm going to Cali where they live life fine
    'Cause I heard that in Cali you can make your dreams come true
    And so that's what I'm gonna do
    Go to Cali where it's all good

    I don't wanna wait, I've been thinking and I know it's time
    I need an escape from living this small-town vibe
    And I'm thinking a change, yeah, change could really do me good
    And I'm California dreaming, so I gotta do what I gotta do

    Chorus

    Living in LA, that's a lot of people's dream come true
    Go out on the freeway, everybody's got a place to get to
    And if I get feeling like I could use a little small-town vibe
    I just go back to New York
    Though I'm going back to Cali every time

    Chorus

    Kev Choice

    Yeah, yeah, come to Cali, that's where I'm from
    Sun is golden, stay beamin', four seasons
    Walking by the ocean, California dreaming
    Redwoods to beaches, if you want a change of scenery
    This what you need, ride down the coast, hair blowin' in the breeze
    Go to Hollywood, how you shine, I know you'd be a star
    Come up to the Bay, how you work, you know you'd be a boss
    All across the state the mind state, just be who you are
    Write songs under palms all night long
    There's a difference between where you was born and where you belong
    This beautiful weather gonna make everything feel better
    Let us free your mind, sip some Napa Valley wine as I drop these rhymes, hot as the desert
    I heard it never rains in Southern Cali, but it snows up north
    Run away to San Francisco, many left their hearts
    Peace and love, what you seek, while
    Come chasing sunsets, riding waves
    Warmer nights, brighter days
    I'm going to Cali

    You meet me at the front door, wrap your arms around me

    You take my hand, best I ever had
    Happy you're my man
