Dying To Live (acoustic)

With the help of my great friend Robin Giannattasio behind the camera, Paul and I shot an acoustic version of my new single “Dying To Live.” Shot exclusively using an iPhone4, it came out pretty decently considering the low lighting in my cozy front room.

For those of you coming out this weekend in Ohio, think of this as a sneak preview.  For those of you who don’t already have a copy of this track… tsk tsk. Click above and grab one for FREE. Then share it with your friends.

Lyrics:

Beep beep, 6 AM
It’s the same old song and dance
By the time you get to 9
All your dreams don’t stand a chance

One more day and you’re feeling locked in
Your heart clocked out before you even clocked in

CHORUS:
Oh, you tell me that you’re trying just to live
But you’re dying to live a little more
Oh, oh
Oh, you can be anything, you can be everything
So what you waiting for
Oh, oh
You’re Dying to Live

Lonely girl in the world
With her mouth around a silver spoon
Mom and Dad and all they had
A little love could not come too soon

18 candles she can make her
Great escape, if they don’t break her

CHORUS

Doesn’t it tear you up inside?
Doesn’t it leave you wanting more?
You never know until you try
What’s behind that open door.

CHORUS
