Anonymous asked: can we download your sherri christmas cover?

I will make it available asap and post the link! Thank you for the support!

I’ve heard it said that nothing ever comes too easy-
Its worth it for a knockout just like you.
(I’m thinking always of you too.)
My hand vibrates-
I’m drooling just to dial your number.
Neuroses as buxom as mine get misconstrued

If I wait will it pass me by?
I’m already on your doorstep now.
(It’s in the fetching way you flirt.)
Tugging on my hair, smoothing my brow-
It’s alright now.

What would you say?
What would you do
If I asked you?
Letting this bloom-
Take me home soon-
I’m attached to you.
Swear I won’t lie-
Clumsy and shy-
But, I’ll dance with you.
What would you say?
What would you do
If I asked you?

I mumble lines that Dangerfield would scoff at
While I try to remain contact with your skin.
(Love the way you tremble and you quake.)
I hope you see the greater man that I’m pregnant with
‘Cause as of right now, I’m not so masculine.

I would love to wander with you-
Take me where the trees grow up side down.
(It’s in your beaming big blue eyes.)
We found it where there is no up or down.
You’re mine now.

What would you say?
What would you do
If I asked you?
Letting this bloom-
Take me home soon-
I’m attached to you.
Swear I won’t lie-
Clumsy and shy-
But, I’ll dance with you.

What would you do
If I asked you?

What’s your favorite way too spoon?
(Any way is the perfect way with you.)
Will you let me in your room?
(Kiss me quick-my dad will be home soon.)
Should I keep or lose the beard?
(You could go bald and not look weird.)

 I’m already on your doorstep now.
(So, now, I’m finally feeling brave.)
Tugging on my hair, smoothing my brow-
It’s alright now.

I am not sure if these are 100% correct but, this is what I hear.
Too cute. :)

I want to make my life beautiful. Not good, or honorable, or even flawless. Beautiful.

Flawed in its perfection and unhurried in its urgency. I want to have a purpose-a driving force. 

I want to taste the breeze of every great city.-Say Anything, “Admit It!!!”

I want to go places, do things and be content. I need to work out who I am. I want to know my own meaning. My strengths and my many,many flaws. 

I want to share in a love that will make us better, even if only for a while. I want to leave my mark on someone, a comforting scar that will stay with them long after I leave,like a worry stone.

I don’t know. I want to make something beautiful happen and I don’t know how. 

That is infinitely frustrating to me right now.

I love it.
Truly my OTP forever.

feeling pretty damn good about myself.

Your whisper eats my ear,
Your voice shall be the only song I long to hear…”

“you’re what keeps me believing the world’s not long dead. strength in my bones put the words in my head. when they pour out to paper, it’s all for you…”

But it’s alright.
