All You Ever Needed
03:55
|
|||
|
You thought you'd found your truest love.
She broke your heard and left you messed up.
And then you feared that no one else would come again.
You froze yourself off from your family and friends.
But there was nothing I could say or do to
help you make it through those bitter years.
All it really took to get you out of bed...
All it really took to get you out of your head...
For so long, it felt so wrong...
But all you ever needed was...
I never doubted you'd find your way.
Though for a time you took every escape.
And I know the pain, the fear, the loneliness you felt...
Because I've been through the same struggles myself.
In the knick of time you found your freedom
and the answers you were seeking.
All it really took to get you out of bed...
All it really took to get you out of your head...
For so long, it felt so wrong...
But all you ever needed was...
You found divine love just before your fall.
You found inner strength when you were up against the wall.
You learned that you never go without.
When you learn to look for love within.
All it really took to get you out of bed...
All it really took to get you out of your head...
For so long, it felt so wrong...
But all you ever needed was love.

So Well Loved
04:17
|
|||
|
When this old heart was younger
it was raised on neglect.
With a guarded affection
it's hard to connect.
So I rushed into romance--
a few sordid affairs.
Thought I'd find it in marriage,
but it wasn't there.
I'd never been so...
well loved.
Jeanne you are the reason
now the opposite is true.
You give more than I've needed
when you give me you.
Now we've been together
for several years.
Every day I am grateful
that you are still here.
I've never been so...
well loved.
Alright, now I believe the stories.
Alright, now I know why they sing
all those songs about
how when you find it love changes everything...
'cause that's what you have done for me.
I've never been so...
well loved.

Already
03:56

Waking up next to you
I'm tangled in our sheets and blanket.
I reach and feel your skin
warm like the sunlight, you're electric.
Sensory overload especially when I see your smile.
After all we went through
last winter and we're both still breathing.
The ties that bind us now
are woven tighter from life's weaving.
The dark and lighter threads, the warp and weft of you and I.
Tomorrow if things change
and grey clouds start to form.
Take comfort in knowing
we've weathered tougher storms...
Already.
Looking back I can see
I've kept most people at a distance.
Even the ones I love
I build a wall and call that wisdom.
'Cause who can hurt you when your 2 steps out and 1 ahead?
I've always felt that I
could be completely myself with you.
Yet still I fear that some-
how something here will make you leave too.
You know our melody sounds better when it's a duet.
Tonight I'll tell my partner
no need to reassure.
You have proven your love
is real and will endure...
Already.
One day there'll be a ring on your finger.
And you'll put one on mine.
Everyone who knows us and loves us...
will say a'int it 'bout time...
Already.

Another Side
03:37
|
|||
|
The day is coming when this all could change.
I've never felt such excitement, and terror.
I'd all but abandoned myself for ten years.
You've awakened what was slumbering.
You've got me believing
that it's worth a try...
that there are new pages...
there is another side.
To do what I have to do
I know I'll need someone like you.
Don't mean to put this kind of pressure on you
but I wanted you to know that I need you.
I've been feeling all this anxiety
I don't want you to see that side of me.
No man is an island
although I have tried.
I built a fortress
in which I almost died.
To do what I have to do
I know I'll need someone like you.
You've got me believing
that it's worth a try...
that there are new pages...
there is another side.

You and I, we move in darkness
bumping up against the truth.
Every wound and bruise enlarges
til I've completely broken you.
Oh the wildness,
Oh the deepness,
all of that is gone.
I don't recognize myself anymore
Now that the curtain's drawn.
I poured myself into your costume
fitted to the old actor.
You wore a familiar perfume--
a lilac laced with notes of her.
No more blindness,
No more secrets,
No more false love songs.
I don't want to be here anymore
Now that the curtain's drawn.
I will move into the spare room.
You can keep the furniture.
Your memory becomes an heirloom
though family we are no more.

Homesick
04:03
|
|||
|
Never found a place where I was understood.
I searched for a welcoming new neighborhood.
You kept your lights on in those windows to your soul.
So effortlessly you filled that hole.
In a matter of months you had me
thinking of putting roots down.
Deep in the soul,
I'm anchored now.
Your body has become my home...
and I'm homesick.
Now I'm just a homebody never want to leave.
Just want to stay inside--let me be.
In your love there's a safety
I never knew existed.
When we're apart
I'm so harshly reminded.
Your body has become my home...
and I'm homesick.

Vulnerary Love
03:44
|
|||
|
Call off the searching.
End all the hurting.
I've found a vulnerary love.
To mend all the heartbreak
reframe the mistakes
nurture my soul.
Though I've said it before
I've never meant it more.
I've got no cause to lie to you.
With a nakedness and
an unwavering hand
I'll protect it, and in return
I'll love you.
You've mesmerized me.
Your smile's exciting.
You give a vulnerary love.
So unexpected,
how we've connected--
How we belong.
Though I've said it before
I've never meant it more.
I've got no cause to lie to you.
With a nakedness and
an unwavering hand
I'll protect it, and in return
I'll love you.
Sometimes love destroys,
but you give me the deepest joy.
Sometimes love kills,
but your love has rebuilt me.
I'll love you...
I'll protect you.
I'll rebuild you.
I'll make love to you, I will.
With a vulnerary love I will.

Jump Alone
03:28
|
|||
|
You in pursuit of your childhood dreams.
You got trapped in the shadow of responsibilities.
Everything you wanted to hear but nobody told you the words.
Everything you're dying to be but nobody showed you you could.
You could fly all along.
You must take the final leap on your own.
Everyone must jump alone.
Try as you might you just could not see.
You thought you were forgotten that your voice had atrophied.
Can't find the contentment and this work-a-day life won't fit.
Before you can uncover yourself you've got to find the courage.
You could fly all along.
You must take the final leap on your own.
Everyone must jump alone.
There's no such thing as fearless.
Just feel it and move on.
And in just a little while
you'll find you're stronger than you knew
and that you can fly...

So Now What?
03:59
|
|||
|
I've made the bold move,
so now what?
I took the tough choice,
so now what?
I've been planting all these seeds
but there is no growth.
I've been watering my dream
but it's a slow go.
I'm losing my faith,
so now what?
My money's dwindling,
so now what?
I've been listening for your voice
but it's so quiet.
Been told to tune out all the noise
you know I've tried it.
Here I am
trying to hold on with both my hands.
Want to believe
it's my manifest destiny.
What if I've waited too long to try?
What if this isn't my time?
You've my attention,
so now what?
I'm out of ideas,
so now what?
Should I pack it all away
and just move on now?
Sell the tools of my trade
and just lay down?
Here I am
trying to hold on with both my hands.
Want to believe
it's my manifest destiny.
What if I've waited too long to try?
What if there's not enough time?
We all have momentary doubts,
I know.
We all have temporary insecurities.
We all forget what it's about,
I know.
I'm not alone in having these darker days.
I'm not alone in having these darker days.
Am I alone?

To Be Yours
03:53
|
|||
|
Wasn't quite what I thought I needed,
but then there you were.
Sitting across from me,
it felt like we'd met before.
You and that dazzling smile and those
penetrating eyes.
I guess that's when I decided.
That's when I realized.
I would not look any further.
Isn't life so strange?
Just when I thought I had figured it...
it all got rearranged.
All I want is to be yours.
You and I won't grow old together
if the truth be told.
I guess it is that one thing
that makes this love so bold.
You did not want matrimony.
Been burned by that before.
Yeah, at first I wanted convention,
but now I'm not so sure.
All I want is to be yours.
In another lifetime
maybe we could have had
fifty years or more...
But it's only in the here and now
that anyone is sure.
I've no regrets this love has met
every single want and need.
Promise you'll take care of yourself.
And I will do the same.
I want to have you as long as possible,
come what may.
All I want is to be yours.

Jesse Correll Nashville, Tennessee
Inner Shibori is Jesse's fourth record. The 13-song release is an album oozing luxury and longing. The production approach; sophisticated and tastefully sentimental songs; and the smooth musicianship recalls Frank Sinatra and Chet Baker's lonely balladeering, and the type of recordings made at Capital Studios in Hollywood during the 1950s and 1960s. ... more
