Two weeks until the album release!! I am SO excited to perform these songs with my amazing band and even more excited that my album will be out for the world to listen to!
Here are two song lyrics that mean so much to me. The first, Stay In Your Lane, was written simply because I have always had a challenge with comparing myself to other people. I have learned, however, that being grateful for your own story and staying true to your own path is the only way to be.
The song For You was the last song that I finished for the album. As I started recording the songs, I noticed that the entire album didn’t contain one love song, which I thought was interesting since I write about my own life experiences and stories. So…since love is what I am still searching for, I decided it was time to write about how I can’t wait to write a beautiful love song. :)
Stay In Your Lane
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Myre
I told myself a story that if you win then I can’t
I told myself a story that there’s only room for one
Can’t keep my blinders on I’m only looking back at what you’re doing
But all it does is rob my faith and slow me down
Gotta keep my eyes on the road ahead
Gotta keep my head looking up instead
I can’t keep moving on like this always looking left always looking right
Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But I do know who I am
And that’s all I need to know to stay in my lane
Stay in your lane
I told myself a story that you deserve it more than me
I told myself a story it’s not enough to simply be
I’m always looking over analyzing everything you’re doing
And all it does is dim my light and slow me down
Gotta keep my eyes on the road ahead
Gotta keep my head looking up instead
I can’t keep moving on like this always looking left always looking right
Cause I don’t know where I’m going
But I do know who I am
But that’s all I need to know, that’s all I need to know
That’s all I need to know
To stay in my lane
Stay in your lane
I’m telling myself a story that this is where I’m meant to be
I’m telling myself a story that there’s enough for everyone
For You
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Myre
I don’t write many love songs
I’ve never had much to say
But I feel things shifting turning,
Something’s about
To change
It’s strange to think about you
When I don’t even know you
But I’m sure that you’re out there somewhere
Waiting, praying
For me
All of these years I’ve been hurting
But I’m grateful for each day
Cause I know that what I’ve been through is
Leading me straight to you
I’m being patient without you
I’m learning how to savor the waiting
Until then I’m learning and laughing
Joyfully living and free
All of this time I had nothing to say
But now I somehow know
I already feel the words I’ll write when you
Walk into my life
I’ll thank you for letting me fully be me
Accepting and loving all that you see
I’ll thank you for loving me just as I am
You’ll help me shine brighter
I know I will find you I already love you
I can’t wait
It’s like I already know you
My spirit’s nudging me in your direction
I have faith I have trust in our story
No matter when it begins
Someone who’s eyes say they love me
At last they’ll finally appear
You smile you know I’m yours
And I’ll sing this song for you
I’ll thank you for letting me fully be me
Accepting and loving all that you see
I’ll thank you for loving me just as I am
I'll help you shine brighter
Thank you for showing me all that you are
We’re imperfectly perfect
I know I will find you I already love you
I can’t wait
