Lyrics
: Heart in Hand EP (2008) —

 Flash of a second and my eyes are learning,
 She's not one to forget.
 She moves her lips and by a string I'm turning,
 Looking to meet them where they sit.

 A minute passes and she's looking at him,
 Like he isn't real.
 She's trapped inside a sweet attraction,
 Swept up by what he's making her feel.

 Maybe I'm gonna finally see,
 What healthy love's meant to be.

 I just wanna feel something more,
 Wanna know what it is I've been looking for.
 I'll love you, girl, with all I am,
 Just give me your heart and I'll give you my hand.

 Now she's laughing at something he said,
 That wasn't even a joke.
 He takes her hand and as she turnin' her head,
 Looks at her face in hope.

 Thinking,
 Maybe I'm gonna finally see,
 What healthy love's meant to be.

 I just wanna feel something more,
 Wanna know what it is I've been looking for.
 I'll love you, girl, with all I am,
 Just give me your heart and I'll give you my hand.

 But try as I may,
 I'm still alone today,
 Just waitin' for you to call.
 And as my heart beats away,
 It gets harder and harder to say,
 That love's gonna come through it all.

 But someday it'll all go as planned,
 I'll give her my heart and she'll give me her hand.

 I just wanna feel something more,
 Wanna know what it is I've been looking for.
 I'll love you, girl, with all I am,
 Just give me your heart and I'll give you my hand.

 Flash of a second and my eyes are learning,
 She's not one to forget.

: Goodbye/Hello LP (2010) —

 Flash of a second and my eyes are learning,
 You're not one to forget.
 You move your lips and by a string I'm turning,
 Looking to meet them where they sit.

 Now you're laughing at something I said,
 That wasn't even a joke.
 I take your hand and as you're turning your head.
 Look at your face in hope.

 Thinkin',
 Maybe I'm gonna finally see,
 What healthy love's meant to be.

 I just wanna feel something more,
 Wanna know what it is I've been looking for.
 I'll love you, girl, with all I am,
 Just give me your heart and I'll give you my hand.

 You start shiverin' so I wrap you in my arms,
 You know, so we can share some body heat.
 But we lock eyes and in a flash here we are,
 A guy and girl kissing in the street.

 Oh, oh, oh,
 Maybe I'm gonna finally see,
 What healthy love's meant to be.

 I just wanna feel something more,
 Wanna know what it is I've been looking for.
 I'll love you, girl, with all I am,
 Just give me your heart and I'll give you my hand.

 I'm tracing the shape,
 Loving the sound my phone makes,
 As I dial in the digits that lead to you.

 And when you're on the other line,
 I ask to see you one more time,
 You say of course come over now I've been waiting (too) for you.

 Yeah for once everything went as planned,
 I gave you my heart and you gave me your hand.

 I just wanna feel something more,
 Wanna know what it is I've been looking for.
 I'll love you, girl, with all I am,
 Just give me your heart and I'll give you my hand.
