Here’s a video of my song “Home” being performed by Philip Phillips on American Idol last night. I wrote this with LA writer Drew Pearson (@drewwpearson) a few months back, and it was picked to be the winners single for this talented lad, providing he wins. How crazy.
Two of you
I’m just trying to figure out what it is i think i like about you
you seem so perfect when i’m standing there with you
but the second you leave is when i get confused
Because i think i make up someone in the distance
and i’m very unfairly comparing the two
because who you are in my mind
and who you are all the time
they are separate things, it’s true
so I’m just trying to figure out what it is i think i like about you
See i know when you laugh it seems like you mean it
and there’s a chance you might even get what i’m feeling
but when i’m talking to you more often than not
your eyes look everywhere but at me
always daring around me, behind me and through me
and i wonder if you hear anything at all?
so i’m just trying to figure out what it is i think i like about you
There are moments that come every once in a while
you grab my hand tight and i get lost in your smile
what is it about you? what is it about you?
what is it about you that i can’t let go?
maybe i should tell you? maybe i should give it up now?
i beg for a sign that you get me somehow
I hate to go first but all these unsaid words have made me a stranger
and it’s starting to hurt
Because who you are in my mind
and who you are all the time
they shouldn’t be separate things, you know?
so I’m just trying to figure out what it is i think i like about you
I’m just trying to figure out what the hell i’m gonna do about you.

and although you’re the only home i know
as if by magic thoughts of you are gone
and i now i’m keeping my head in the clouds
and it’s not so tragic if i don’t look down
i never wanted you to go. but i’d be the last to let you know.

last night I dreamt you thought of me. But in the morning it proved untrue. because it was just me, yet again, thinking of you.
