Kissed by the dew of the morning, Ready for anything. Running alive through the fields I designed, Just don't forget me I'm here From me flows A greater fountain than you've ever known Oh, you can feel Our love grow As we run together towards the sun I bring you life, I bring you joy Familiar and safe are my arms And I won't go, so say you won't Say you won't go My eyes are searching for you to come draw near You hear my calling, my love, incline your ear." - Written by: Taylor Reed Copyright 2018 Taylor Reed Inc. </video> <video> Baby Love (Ft. Kyle Knudsen) [Audio] Description: "It's not a secret anymore, Got a lot happening in the war of your mind But I know it all; I've been there. Thinkin' 'bout that narrow road, Say you wanna go out on your own. but you're mine And baby I am yours, You can go on and take a walk on the edge See the world; is the grass really greener over there? I know that's what you're thinking, love. It's what you're thinking, love. I won't stop you now Even I know just what it's like to feel like you're looking in From the outside But you're not alone You still know my voice You still know my voice And you'll come back again Baby love, you're not lost Baby love, you're not lost, yeah I thought I saw myself in loving you I thought I felt those highs I was running to, every time Enough to get by Bruise me like you do, I'll take it I rely on you to fake it Copying a face, a greener place, enough to get by." - Written by: Taylor Reed, Kyle Knudsen Copyright 2018 Taylor Reed Inc.

Far and foreign is kindness When I mourn all that I lack Then from you I hear "What if You could lose your firm grip on all this?" Why've you been so near while I Went and gave us all grief? I ask but I know what's really happening here Rest in the measure given And come alive In the evening there's time for Reminiscing and pining In the morning I ponder Why we ever even started this mess. Heard you had a better idea On how to draw me way What's that over the hill? New seasons rising Rest in the measure given And come alive Will you let me go? Oh no, you won't let me go." - Written by: Taylor Reed Copyright 2018 Taylor Reed Inc. </video> <video> Think About It (Ft. Kristopher James) [Audio] Description: "You're not what I thought But I never would've imagined That you would be the one to pull me so apart It's your loss, my love 'Cause the ones who really see me Know I'm more than a diamond hidden in the rough Yeah I'm gonna miss you But not the way you think I'm gonna Now that I think about it I'm not gonna miss you, not gonna miss you Think about it, now that I think about it Somewhere I went wrong Thought the words on the page were enough to sustain Being caught in the middle, caught up in the pain Of where I got lost It was the lesser of two lonely's in the way that you would hold me, But I won't come apart Yeah I'm gonna miss you But not the way you think I'm gonna Now that I think about it I'm not gonna miss you, not gonna miss you Think about it, now that I think about it You're gone now The match is lit, our bridge is burned And I have learned that I am stronger now." - Written by: Taylor Reed, Kristopher James Copyright 2018 Taylor Reed Inc.

Life has changed on my end quite a bit since my last post (two kids now and we're homeowners!) but I've been fortunate enough to keep gigging and performing for a steady 8 years now. Feels SO surreal. Thanks for sticking around while the world has kept on turning. I'm looking forward to sharing some more songs with you lovely humans!

No? That's okay, I'll make it through I will dwell on the things that do push me through Yeah I feel a little wiser Running down this avenue Holding onto what is true This game has wore me out, Finding all the faults inside my maze My flame was almost out, but it's stirring up again in a new way Can I get a little help? No? That's okay, I'll make it through I will dwell on the things that do push me through Yeah I feel a little wiser Running down this avenue Holding onto what is true In the time that it takes me to breathe again One door closes and the others open It's alright if I clear my head and take it; I know it's fine, and I know I'm still moving Can I get a little help? No? Can I get a little help? No? Yeah I feel a little wiser, running down this avenue Holding onto what is true." - Written by: Taylor Reed Copyright 2018 Taylor Reed Inc.
