BEST DAY EVER
Written by Levi Kreis
Today is the perfect day for you to fall in love with me
I’ll be the one to say it, you and I were meant to be
If only I could make you notice
If only I could make you see
The sun would shine a little brighter
Just to have you singing with me
Sha na na
I just sing a little la la la
This is gonna be the best day ever
Best day ever, best day ever
You’re so fine
I can’t wait to make you mine all mine
This is gonna be the best day ever
Best day ever, best day ever
This is the moment I've been waiting for
For oh so long
I got your attention, baby
Now I wanna be your song
If only I had my piano
If only I could find the key
It’s not that I’m a Pollyanna
I just want you singing with me
Sha na na
I just sing a little la la la
This is gonna be the best day ever
Best day ever, best day ever
You’re so fine
I can’t wait to make you mine all mine
This is gonna be the best day ever
Best day ever, best day ever
(la la la la la...)
If only I could make you notice
If only I could make you see
The sun would shine a little brighter
Just to have you singing with me
Sha na na
I just sing a little la la la
This is gonna be the best day ever
Best day ever, best day ever
You’re so fine
I can’t wait to make you mine all mine
This is gonna be the best day ever
Best day ever, best day ever

SUMMER RAIN
Written by Levi Kreis
Come away with me
The sunset’s never been quite as inviting
And I’ve never seen a smile that’s so enticing
You must of cast a spell on me
There’s a gentle breeze
Kissing you like fragrance from a flower
As it carries in the softness of a shower
Just let it reign down on me
While you...
Place your hands upon me honey
I will feel no shame
And use your lips to tell me that your
Feelings are the same
And lay with me
Beneath the summer rain
Well I wonder how
The earth could know what’s going on between us
As it’s lying there in stillness underneath us
Love is such a mystery
And I wonder if
The sky is gonna keep our little secret
Or it’s just so sweet the angels cannot keep it
As we become the words they sing
While you...
Place your hands upon me honey
I will feel no shame
And use your lips to tell me that your
Feelings are the same
And lay with me
Beneath the summer rain

TOO DEEP TO GO DOWN
Written by Levi Kreis
There’s a river that runs from your heart to mine
Shorter than long, more narrow than wide
Yet I stay to the bank of this humble divide
It's too deep to go down
It’s too deep to go down
I stood at the edge of this water before
You were the yearning I prayed to ignore
And while I believe that there could be something more
It’s too deep to go down
It’s too deep to go down
I would lose myself
I would surely go under
Drowned in desire
In the indelible wonder of you
What would I do
So I tell myself that you're not for real
Cause I’m so afraid of how you make me feel
You could crash all my castles, you would break all my deals
You would make me confront what it is that I need to conceal
So please tell my heart to stop spinning it’s wheels
It’s too deep to go down
It’s too deep to go down
It’s too deep to go down
It’s too deep to go down

WORLDS APART (ft. Jason Antone)
Written by Levi Kreis, José Cancela and Michael Reola
You have every right to build a thousand walls
You needed me to try to give you love to break your fall
But I became the one who left you in the dark
And I wanna say I’m sorry for the way I broke your heart
Looking back at all that we have been through
I need you to know I finally see you
We are worlds apart, but somewhere in between
We’re just broken hearts making good of broken things
No one said it would be easy, but I wanna try
So please don’t hide
I’m alright if you’re by my side
How could I have known what I couldn’t see
Careless and consumed by how it all affected me
If I could take it back and do it all again
I would hold you through the heartache
And help you understand
I know that trust is never easy
I’ll stay right here until you’re ready
We are worlds apart, but somewhere in between
We’re just broken hearts making good of broken things
No one said it would be easy, but I wanna try
So please don’t hide
I’m alright if you’re by my side
If you’re by my side
Looking back at all that we have been through
I don’t wanna another day without you
We are worlds apart, but somewhere in between
We’re just broken hearts making good of broken things
No one said it would be easy, but I wanna try
So please don’t hide
I’m alright if you’re by my side

STRANGER IN MY HOUSE
Written by Mike Reid
There’s a silence here between us
I’ve never heard before
And I can’t find the love
In your eyes anymore
There’s some changes going on
I’m beginning to understand
While I’m holding her I swear I feel
The presence of another man
There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
A stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me
She sits staring out the window
A million miles away
And when I ask if she’s alright
She never has too much to say
Is it somebody we both know
Or somebody she just met
Is she loving him in her mind
While she’s lying here in my bed
There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
A stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away and I know
Suspicions lead to questions
And questions to alibis
Is it just my imagination
Or has a love turned into lies
There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
A stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me
There’s a stranger in my house
Somebody here that I can’t see
A stranger in my house
Somebody here trying to take her away from me

WALLS
Written by Levi Kreis
Say what’s on your mind
Something isn’t right
You don’t have to hide away from me
It’s me you’re talking to
You know what I’ve been through
I’m not gonna bruise your dignity
Don’t tell me nobody understands you
You know as well as I do
I’ll be the one see beneath it all
But I can’t walk through walls
(Can you hear me)
Baby I can’t walk through walls
(Can you hear me)
I can help you love again
But you have to let me in
I can’t walk through walls
I am not a ghost
A shadow unexposed
Just another secret in the dark
When others only want one thing
To satisfy their need
You can take my body
But it’s not without my heart
So don’t tell me nobody ever loved you
You know as well as I do
I’ll be the one to be there when you fall
But I can’t walk through walls
(Can you hear me)
Baby I can’t walk through walls
(Can you hear me)
I can help you love again
But you have to let me in
I can’t walk through walls
Paralyzed by the pain
Let it go, you’re not to blame
I am here, and I will wait
But the move is your’s to make
But I can’t walk through walls
(Can you hear me)
Baby I can’t walk through walls
(Can you hear me)
I can help you love again
But you have to let me in
I can’t walk through walls

UNAFRAID
Written by Levi Kreis
Come lay down your head
No emotion spared no confession left unsaid
It’s all out in the open
Baby all of us are broken
Did you think that I would leave
That I would turn and walk away
No, I am unafraid
Let it fall like rain
Let a thousand tears wash away the years of pain
Trust is never easy
And I need you to hear me
This doesn’t change the way I feel
A love is real if it is brave
And I am unafraid
La, la la la, la la la, la la
Try me, trouble me
Demons cannot frighten me, my love
For I am unafraid
So fall asleep in my arms
And curl up close to my heart
And maybe when the morning comes
The dawn will drive your doubt away
For I am unafraid
La, la la la, la la la, la la
Try me, trouble me
Demons cannot frighten me, my love
For I am unafraid

NOBODY IN HIS RIGHT MIND (ft Kelli Owens Hutton)
Written by Dean Dillon
I burn with desire
Each time my heart fans the fire
Of that old flame that burns inside of me
She cried when I left her
And now I cry to forget her
Oh how foolish I was
To ever wanna leave
Nobody in his right mind would have left her
I had to be crazy to say goodbye
Nobody in his right mind would have left her
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind
I still carry her picture
I wish her well with a new love
I know she’s found by now
Each night finds me dreaming
Each day I spent thinking
How much I wish she was still around
Nobody in his right mind would have left her
I had to be crazy to say goodbye
Nobody in his right mind would have left her
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind
Nobody in his right mind would have left her
I had to be crazy to say goodbye
Nobody in his right mind would have left her
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind

LIBERATE YOU
Written by Levi Kreis
Just the mention of your name
I get a sudden rush of pain
And add up all the things I blame you for
I bet if I could count the ways
I’ve let this hatred have it’s way
I’d wonder what the hell I’ve been living for
And it’s no good
Holding on to a world of wrong
No it ain’t no good
It’s eating me alive
What if I liberate you
Maybe I’d be liberated too
If I forgive you
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
If I could liberate you
In this life we’re all the same
We fall until we find our way
And I ain’t no exception to the rule
I want the grace to let you go
But when the rubber meets the road
This rambling man still has a point to prove
And it’s no good
To keep you barred in these prison walls
No it ain’t no good
I gotta let you go
What if I liberate you
Maybe I’d be liberated too
If I forgive you
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
If I could liberate you
You ain’t losing no sleep
Lying there thinking about me
When am I gonna believe
That peace is mine to choose
What if I...
What if I...
You see, if I forgive
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
What if I liberate you
Maybe I’d be liberated too
If I forgive you
Forgetting would be a lot easier to do
If I could liberate you
If I could liberate you

WANTED
Written by Levi Kreis
Take another drink
Do another line
Laugh with all with boys
Have them if you like
You can say it’s cool
Tell them I don’t mind and I’ll
Drink until I’m numb
And try to be polite
Silent, but I’m going under
I’m silent, but I’m screaming your name
I wanna be wanted
I wanna be enough
I wanna be wanted
I wanna be enough for you
Lead them to believe
A storybook romance
You can play the part
And I will do the dance
An inconvenient truth
Buried in the sand, we are
Rotting from denial
But the show is pretty grand
Remember you all over my body
I remember how you needed me so
Where did it go
I wanna be wanted
I wanna be enough
I wanna be wanted
I wanna be enough for you
Is it me
Am I too ordinary for you
Is it all too familiar to you
Is it gone when it’s no longer new
Tell me how do I get through to you baby
I wanna be wanted
I wanna be enough
I wanna be wanted
I wanna be enough for you

STILL AROUND (ft Kelli Owens Hutton)
Written by Levi Kreis
I didn’t mean to call you
It was just the whiskey talking
You know how sentimental I can be
I hear you’ve gotten stronger
And that you and him are perfect
My friends still say the same thing about you and me
But six years in this city
Still holds too many memories
I know by now I’ll never let you go
Until I pack a suitcase and load the truck
And move on down the road
Austin sounds better everyday
Maybe Tennessee is telling me
To come on home to stay
Cause baby you’re the last good thing
About this crazy town
If it’s over, then why am I still around
The skyline may appear to
Be fading in the rearview
But you won’t be as easy to leave behind
I always thought that I’d be
The man to make you happy
It’s killing me to think you may be
In his bed tonight
If out of sight is out of mind
Then I may drive all night
Austin sounds better everyday
Maybe Tennessee is telling me
To come on home to stay
Cause baby you’re the last good thing
About this crazy town
If it’s over, then why am I still around
Oh, if it’s over, then why am I still around
Oh darling, can’t you see
You’re still my everything
If it takes a thousand miles to do
I gotta get over you
Gotta get over you.
God, I wanna get over you
Austin sounds better everyday
Maybe Tennessee is telling me
To come on home to stay
Cause baby you’re the last good thing
About this crazy town
If it’s over, then why am I still around
Oh, if it’s over, then why am I still around

DAWN OF A NEW DAY
Written by Levi Kreis
Another morning cold and grey
But above the clouds it’s a sunny day
And cabin fever’s had it’s way for way too long
A winter wasted in my bed
Covers thrown over my head
Tried my damnedest to forget
A love that’s dead & gone
But I’m ready
To get on the bright side
I’m ready
To walk on the light side again
Put my blue jeans on
Play my favorite song
Take a deep breath and wish away
It’s the dawn of a new day
Brave this world in style
Maybe flash my smile
Thinking I’m gonna be okay
It’s the dawn of a new day
Dawn of a new day
A broken heart can take your fight
And you knew how to break mine right
But every burn can lose it’s bite
With a little time to heal
It don’t feel good to hit the ground
But you laugh and buy another round
Cause this ol ball ain’t slowing down
No matter how you feel
And I feel ready
To get on the bright side
I’m ready
To walk on the light side again
Put my blue jeans on
Play my favorite song
Take a deep breath and wish away
It’s the dawn of a new day
Brave this world in style
Maybe flash my smile
Thinking I’m gonna be okay
It’s the dawn of a new day
Dawn of a new day
I may dream of being in your arms again
And I don’t think I’ll soon forget your kiss
But getting stuck inside a maze of might have beens
No life’s too short to carry on like this
Put my blue jeans on
Play my favorite song
Take a deep breath and wish away
Dawn of a new day
Brave this world in style
Maybe flash my smile
Thinking I’m gonna be okay
It’s the dawn of a new day
Dawn of a new day
Dawn of a new day
Dawn of a new day

I"m a singer and songwriter from East Tenessee. Since my debut album in 2005, I've explored a myriad of genres from piano pop to rock to Americana soul. I'm most at home when it feels a bit gospel, a bit country and a bit poppy. You'll usually find my lyrics explore personal growth and I'm not afraid to be vulnerable with you. Thanks for being here. It's good to meet you. ... more
