Cliché 04:17
Been missing those sleepless nights When we’d stay up till dawn in each others arms. Dreaming the night away about Days to come, you keep me hanging on. It’s been three months since I last saw your face, Even longer since last that I felt this way. Take it form me this is not a cliché, When I say that I love you. Can’t seem to get enough of that look in your eye It’s still gives me butterflies. Every kiss lasts a lifetime, Every touch sends sparks spinning down my spine It’s been three months since I last saw your face, Even longer since last that I felt this way. Take it from me this is not a cliché, When I say that I love you. Breath new life into my soul. Bring me higher then I’ve ever gone before. Three month since I last saw your face, And when we’re together I wish it could last forever. Take it form me this is not a cliché, When I say It’s been three months since I last say your face, Even longer since last that I felt this way. Take it from me this is not a cliché, When I say that I love you.

One Shot 03:03
He walks the straight and narrow He doesn’t color outside of the lines Blue collared man raised to follow the rules Live a straight life, in a straight line So there’s no chance for him to unwind. One summer day she took him by the hand and said, “This city’s our playground and we’re gonna tear it down. Cuz you only get one shot so make it worth the ride With me by your side you got nothing left to hide.” She’s as free as a summers breeze, She loves the gypsy life and she loves to feel alive. The rush of the high and the shallow sharp lows. She lives to feel it all deep in her bones, And watch that fire grow. One summer day she took him by the hand and said, “This city’s our playground and we’re gonna tear it down. Cuz you only get one shot so make it worth the ride, With me by your side you got nothing left to hide.” Feel your heart beat to the rhythm It’s calling out your name. Don’t deny it, don’t try to fight it It’s getting you to let free “Cuz you only get one shot so make it worth the ride With me by your side you got nothing left to hide.”

So Much More 03:00
We are born to learn Born to love and explore All the struggle and all the pain All the glory and all the pain Was it worth it it the end To be witness to the circle of unconditional love Can we remind ourselves in darker days? The light will shine to show us the way. All is not gone and never forgotten. There is so much more then we Could ever imagine. All I knew before, black and white Day and night. The laws of life began to blur The shadows dance and the grey shone through. I saw it all in the end And was witness to the beauty of everlasting love. Can we remind ourselves in days to come? The light will still shine to show us the way. All is not gone and never forgotten. There is so much more then we Could ever imagine.

Little Girl 03:03
I was just a little girl When you told me about the world And everything I could be. But I could only see the glow That echoed through the fields When you called out my name. I was just a little girl When you taught me how to care For every living soul. But I could onl y see the light That shone from your eyes And the love you gave to me. There so much to life that I still have to see. I’ll carry your lessons everywhere with me. You taught me about love and gave me strength to stand. You’re never really gone You will live on. It wasn’t very long ago When you showed me what strength is In the eye of the storm. But I was still that little girl And you told me about the world And everywhere you’ll be. There’s so much to life that I still have to see. I’ll carry you everywhere with me. No matter where I go, Or how old I’ll be. You’re never really gone You will live on.

I can feel it beating in my soul, Pulling me closer to where I need to go. The rhythms faster as the years go by, And I can’t deny this feeling deep inside. I know that you’re waiting up for me. I can see the light on in the distance between the trees. It may be miles away, But this bond between us goes deeper then the trees. You left the light on for me, To help me see the path I need to be on. You believed in me every step of the way. You held my hand, you watched me cry, You made me feel alive. And you left the light on for me. That open door seems to be a little closer now. I take each step without much caution anymore. Because I know that you’re waiting up for me. Near or far no matter where you are. You left the light on for me, To help me see where my heart needs to be. You didn’t want me to go But you knew it was best for me. You held my hand, you watched me cry, You made me feel alive. And you left the light on for me.

We stood there side by side, Breathing in the cool moon light. Hand in hand, heart in heart, We watched the sky light up in the dark. The night we saw the sky dance I saw myself in you. The wonder the beauty, All wrapped together as one. The night we saw the sky dance. Red and blue, green and white, The colors swam and intertwined. Finally I felt complete And everything was meant to be. The night we saw the sky dance, I saw myself in you. The wonder the beauty, All wrapped together as one. The night we saw the sky dance. Wipe away the dust of yesterday. Bare the shining armour to the stars. I saw the change in your eyes but it came to me as no surprise. The man I knew was always there Appeared to me in the cool moon air. The night we saw the sky dance, I saw myself in you. The wonder the beauty, All wrapped together as one. The night I knew our souls had found each other.

The wind it speaks of change As it drifts across the plains Whispering to the cattails I think of when I was young Spring had just sprung Giving new life to the land This is where my heart resides Pastel watercolours in the sky Will you stay with me as the seasons of my life pass by? I think of you often When I feel a need to soften And remember just who I am The shimmering golden wheat It’s roots run deep Back to my true love This is where my heart resides Pastel watercolours in the sky Will you stay with me as the seasons of my life pass by?

about

Home is Alyssa's debut album featuring songs of love, longing and missing the things dearest to one's heart. Home was created while Alyssa spent the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015 in her home town of Regina Beach, Saskatchewan.
