about

I took the album title from this song. Originally it was the title of the song, but when Laura Bowman sang that "anything but love" line I made it the title. I'm blown away that I actually wrote this song, and Tony's drums really bring it to a huge place. Sarah and Laura are pretty awesome on it too!

lyrics

If I Woke Up This Morning and Died

Have I spilled out my life like water on the ground?
Not looking back long enough to see it evaporated
Did it mean anything or did it all add up to nothing?

Have I wasted time with everything I thought counted?
Given away everything until there’s nothing left
Was what looked large simply just perspective?

What happened to my life?
If I woke up this morning and died
would I remember anything except love?

Walking around with my hands in my pockets
Afraid to really touch anything
I want to put my hands on everything
so I stare straight ahead and keep walking

What happened to my life?
If I woke up this morning and died
would I remember anything except love?

Our days are numbered and paid for
but we don’t get to see the receipt
we don’t know when they’ll come to take us away
so we do the best we can with too little information

What happened to my life?
If I woke up this morning and died
would I remember anything except love?
