When I'm With You Words and Music by Amber Snider © 2016 Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP Vs 1: I am a statue, frozen inside I have only, one place to hide I am a soul, that's lost its way I am an island, you harbor my bay Chorus: I only feel when I'm with you x2 Vs 2: I am a shadow, the ghost of me I am carrion, my bones picked clean I am shackled, trying to break free I am numb, I have lost all feeling Chorus: I only feel when I'm with you x4 Vs 3: I am a baby helpless yet strong I am not afraid, anymore, to move on I am done hiding from shadows at night I feel the light on my face, I’m alright Chorus: I only feel when I'm with you x4 Outro: When I'm with you x4 I only feel… when I'm with you

Ride The Wave Words & Music by Amber Snider © 2013 Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP Vs: 1 I have wandered too far Throw me a line & reel me in My Soul is covered in scars I see your patience wearing thin I'm trying to learn how to deal That doesn't come so easily I'm trying to explain how I feel My demons get the best of me Chorus: I will learn to ride the wave Until it swells and breaks then dissipates. Ooooh Vs: 2 I'm trying to win a war waged with myself long ago Each battle becomes a scar With so much to lose I am forced to grow I'm trying to stay on track My inner child gets distracted I'm trying to see where it's at Before my dream fades to black Chorus: I will learn to ride the wave Until it swells and breaks then dissipates. Ooooh Vs: 3 You keep trying to fix me I am broken beyond repair I come with no warranty you're as crazy as I am so you don't care We try to explain how we feel Our words are better in writing We sign the new deal It's so much better than fighting Chorus: I will learn to ride the wave Until it swells and breaks then dissipates. Ooooh I will learn to ride the wave Until it swells and breaks then dissipates. Ooooh

How You Love Words & Music by Amber Snider © 2019 Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP Vs1: You’ve been restless since you left home at age 21 Though circumstance wasn’t ideal, it bore you a son The years flew by you still feel like you’re on the run Ya’ got one foot out the door and into the sun Chorus: “Oh how you love, how you love” If angels are watching from above they’re saying “Oh how you love, how you love” Vs 2: When you lost your daughter, you lost a piece of your heart You were just a child, barely had a start Still regret can eat a person alive at their soul You’ll try everything you can to fill the hole Chorus: “Oh how you love, how you love” If angels are watching from above they’re saying “Oh how you love, how you love Ohhhhh how you love" Bridge: You love so hard it breaks you in two Not many’d survive what you have been through Been the giver, the beggar, the lover and the taker No ones as hard and soft as you Chorus: “Oh how you love, how you love” If angels are watching from above they’re saying “Oh how you love, how you love” Those angels are watching from above they’re saying “Oh how you love, how you love"
