Your Heart 04:15
Oh well you sit and wait with empty bags Oh well you pray and you whisper maybe some day Oh as the years pass you by you settle in To the work and the worries of the changing seasons But your heart, it don't feel right. Oh now your soul well it's frozen with winter winds And oh now you try to move forward but your feet wont give And oh as the years pass you by you forget your dreams For the work and the worries of everyday things But your heart, it don't feel right At the bottom of your heart you know That you can't find your way without your soul Yea at the bottom of your heart you know That you can't find your way without your soul Oh well you sit and wait, you wait Oh well you say with conviction, maybe some day Oh as the fear and the lies they settle in To the work and the worries of everyday things To the work and the worries of the changing seasons To the work and the worries of everything.

Sun Burns On 04:02
Well I want it But I'm running away from it I'm keeping my distance I'm turning my back Because I've had it And it lives in my memories Of holding you tenderly My lips on your neck Now it's gone, gone gone But the sun it burns on Midwest winters We fought them together And talked of adventures We drew up our plans For the summer When we'd swim in the river And laugh at the winter Me holding your hand Now it's gone, gone, gone But the sun it burns on.

Pigeons drop from rooftops The flock catches my eye I wish that I could fly I wish that I could fly, away Where the fuck did the sun go And who the hell invited the snow Where the fuck did my love go, I know. I know it weighs on your soul And it weighs down your shoulders We getting older, time growing shorter You packed your patience, swallowed your angst and You see those dreams damn they're close you can taste it. Cloudy day in California Coffee staining my tongue I wish that I could run I wish that I could run, home I'm missing my Mississippi I'm missing dying Maple leaves I packed my bags and left for the city Yea I went chasing my dreams, well I know. I know it weighs on your soul And it weighs down your shoulders We getting older, time getting shorter You packed your patience, swallowed your angst and You see those dreams damn they're close you can taste it. Cuz times like these, baby, damn they're hard The lives we lead, darlin', I know, I know I know.

Girl you gotta keep your head up When you hurt, when you're sitting in the shadows of your dreams Girl you gotta keep your head up When your world aint spinning on the axis that you please But I can see the daylight breaking I can see the colors in the sky I can see the daylight breaking On the ocean side And I gotta keep my head up Cuz I know that our road is splitting at our feet And I gotta keep my head up Cuz I've seen this goddamn distance, split our seams But I can see the daylight breaking I can see the colors in the sky I can see the daylight breaking On the ocean side If you fall down, I am here now, If you call out, I am here now.

My heart, beating, up late dreaming Drinking this gin, your skin on my skin Your legs, they're shakin, rain taps my ceiling Head back, eyes closed, you come so close, to me. Fingers, dig in, your hips, your skin Breathing your sins, my lips are learnin' Your soul it's shaking, rain taps my ceiling Head back, eyes closed, you come so close, to me. This late night rain, it's falling softly Our lips exchange, our souls briefly

about

Nick Shattuck Los Angeles, California

Born and raised near the muddy banks of Western Wisconsin’s Mississippi River, Nick Shattuck adapted a bare bones, blues influenced honesty in his songwriting from the beginning. Relocating to Southern California with a bag full of indie folk songs and a gravely voice that liken him to a pleasant combination of Ray LaMontagne and John Mayer, Nick has been quickly leaving a mark in the LA scene. ... more
