Inspired by a love letter, written many years ago....and yes, i did mention When Harry Met Sally in it! I wrote this as I was getting ready to release this album, and i was forced to clear mailbox space...and I found the email I wrote with hope of loving out loud. "I don't love you anymore" is a direct reference to the song "Anymore" by Travis Tritt - one of my all-time favorite love songs - tired of pretending....

Lyrics
love out loud
i guess i'm just a hopeless dreamer
blame the movies, they shaped my demeanor
like when harry met sally or far and away
where love starts with a fight
but ends up holdin' tight, being right
i keep waiting for one of us to say
what we've known for years
holding onto our hearts,
like precious souvenirs,
so they didn't break
this ain't the script i wanted to write
but here i am, wide awake, late tonight
typing out the truth i've been hiding
my heart appearing on the screen,
can't keep fighting
why deny it?
yeah, i'm in love with you
i guess i just made the first move
said the words i always wanted to
i just want a chance to see
if maybe, now
you're ready to
love out loud
love out loud
love out loud
when we met,
i didn't think twice
thought you were just another guy
someone cute, who all the ladies knew
didn't expect i'd fall in love with you too
but the more i knew you, the more i saw
you weren't like them, you had no facade
you made me rethink what love could be
and what it could mean for me
every date i've had since then
makes me think of back when
(yea, so long ago)
they didn't feel like you beside me
couldn't fake what you ignite in me
(still, to this day)
yeah, i'm in love with you
i guess i just made the first move
said the words i always wanted to
i just want a chance to see
if maybe, now
you're ready to
love out loud
love out loud
love out loud
yea, i'm tired of pretending
we can have a happy ending
its not how you start,
it's how you finish
we can still win this
yeah, i'm in love with you
i guess i just made the first move
said the words i always wanted to
i just want a chance to see
if maybe, now
you're ready to
love out loud
love out loud
love out loud
i just want to shout
i'm in love with you
i guess i just made the first move
said the words i always wanted to
i just want a chance to see
if maybe, now
you're ready to
love out loud
ready to love me
yea, i'm tired of pretending
i don't love you anymore
i don't want to waste more time
we can have a happy ending
just let me love you out loud
yeah, just let me love you out loud
love out loud
love out loud
i just want to shout
i'm in love with you
