I'm Drew. Lyrically, I'm influenced mostly by Derek Webb, and musically, I'm influenced by Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Nickel Creek and literally about 20 o

Hey, I'm Drew Miller. I'm 13, and I've been playing guitar since I was in the 3rd grade. I started writing songs in 6th grade, and now I'm in 8th. I listen to John Mayer, Dave Matthews Band, David Gray, Nickel Creek, Cold War Kids, John Butler Trio, and Jeff Buckley to name a few. I like to think about lots of stuff, and usually it ends up spilling out onto paper as song lyrics. And I think about good quality stuff, to assure you. My melodies are catchy but not too over the top happy or anything. I try to keep a good balance. Please listen and feel free to download some of the songs to your iTunes or whatever. It will please me if you do.

Lyrics

She tries as hard as she can
To keep the smile on her face
But nothing she buys can ever win back
The joy she can't replace
She doesn't know for sure
Where that joy is found anymore
'Cause everything she has ever known
Was knocking on her door

How long will it be before
She knows what this is about?
How much time will it take
For her to find her way out?
Her way of thinking is only
Gonna bring her back around

So after all of this searching and searching
For something she can't seem to find
She wants to live for more
Than what is held in space and time
"If all this won't exist to us when we are dead and gone," she says,
"Let's live for what we can't achieve under the sun."

She thinks
How long will it be before
We know what this is about?
How much time will it take
For us to find our way out?
Our way of thinking is only
Gonna bring us back around

If we were put here for the perfect life
What use is all the living?
If everything we had was just right
Then how would we know?
But we keep on hopping boxcars
Knowing that the train won't stop

Takes us back around
