about

I originally wrote Holy Again on a piano while in college. The melody was totally stuck in my head, so I had to write it down when I got home. I think it only took me a few hours to write everything instrumentally considering how passionate I was about the song. Vocal-wise, I wanted to explore a wider range to complement the music itself. Around this time, I was listening to a lot of R&B, so that definitely influenced the feel of the track.

It's a love song. Plain and simple :)

lyrics

To the one who shares my Birthday
Has the doctor diagnosed the pain in your chest?
Because it's keeping my dreams away as well
Dearest love, I must confess
That I took your heart after you stole mine from me
Even the x-rays wouldn't tell you that

Oh God, what are you because I can't believe
That someone so beautiful is human
Regardless, please don't leave this earthly realm
I don't know if I'll find you again
I don't know if I'll find you again

Shh
Do you hear the sound of tapping and scraping?
It's the noise of my pen against the spaces
Trying to share my thoughts between the lines
But whatever I write never reflects my sight
Why do you hide away when I'm
Caught in staring at you gorgeous face?
It's so easy to get lost
But so damn hard to look away

Oh God, why do you make me feel this way?
I'm not used to someone caring about me
Regardless please don't ever leave my side
I still have your heart, and you have mine
I still have your heart, and you have mine

If I wasn't concise enough, let me be more clear

If beauty's really only skin-deep then I think
Your soul could make heaven holy again
And show me what it's like to be
In love once more

So I'll tell you again

If beauty's really only skin-deep then I think
Your soul could make heaven holy again
And show me what it's like to be
In love once more

If beauty's really only skin-deep then I think
Your soul could make heaven holy again
And show me what it's like to be
In love once more
