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"

I Always Do
Words and Music by Amber Snider
© 2018 | Puddle Siren Records, ASCAP
Vs. 1:
We met in a coffee shop
We were young and carefree
You held my hand through the years
You love me for me
Now we’re a family
I can’t believe I can’t believe
How lucky I turned out to be
To have you here with me
Chorus:
When time has come and gone
When life‘s moving on
I’ll still be loving you
Like I always do
I always do, I always do
Vs 2:
Sometimes we fight
Making up feels so right
We never stay mad for long
That’s kept us strong
I’m looking back at the years
At our laughter and our tears
The mirror changes on the wall yet
I feel no change at all
Chorus:
When time has come and gone
When life‘s moving on
I’ll still be loving you
Like I always do
I always do, I always do
I always do I always do
Vs 3:
When I’m old and gray
Too tired to dye my hair
I know you’ll say
“It’s OK, I don’t care”
You always know what to say
To make me feel beautiful
Like when we met that day
At the coffee shop so long-ago
Chorus (x2):
When time has come and gone
When life‘s moving on
I’ll still be loving you
Like I always do
I always do, I always doa
I always do, I always do

Air That I Breathe
Words & Music by Amber Snider © 2012
Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs 1:
Like a wave that comes crashing down
All around, I feel you
Like the sound that breaks
The noise silence makes
All around, I feel you
Chorus:
I feel you surround me
Like the air that I breathe
I feel you around me
In everything
Vs 2:
Like the song that sings through birds in trees
All around, I hear you
Like the voice in my ear
That whispers so near
All around, I hear you
Chorus:
I feel you surround me
Like the air that I breathe
I feel you around me
In everything
Vs 3:
Like the smile of a child with love in their eyes
All around, I see you
Like the sun that sets a colored silhouette
All around, I see you
Chorus:
I feel you surround me
Like the air that I breathe
I feel you around me
In everything
Outro:
Ooooooooh Ooooooooh

Lonely Teardrops
Words & Music by Amber Snider © August 9, 2018
Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs 1:
Lonely teardrops aren't so lonely anymore. Lonely beer drops leave a mess on my floor. I'd like to tell you a story about a time not long ago. Two hearts beat as one.
Vs 2:
Lonely feardrops falling from my face. Save your worries for tomorrow, today seems out of place. Looking for love that will weather the storm. Lonely teardrops aren't lonely anymore.
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Vs 3:
Lonely teardrops falling from your eyes. All the hurt, the anger when I criticize. Looking for a love that'll just leave you alone.
OUTRO:
Lonely teardrops aren't so lonely anymore. Lonely teardrops aren’t so lonely anymore. Lonely teardrops aren't so lonely... anymore.

Banjo Bender
Words & Music Amber Snider © 2019
Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs 1:
Up all night on a bender
Crying my eyes out to you
I put my heart in a blender
Telling you how my love is true
Telling you how-ow my love is true
Vs 2:
Up all night on a bender
I shouldn’t have had those last 10 drinks
You’ve always been my great defender
You’d love me through anything
You’d love me through-ough anything
Instrumental
Bridge:
And the next day always goes the same way
You telling me what I did
The highs, the lows, the soft, the hard
Me running naked screaming to the ya-a-ard
Up all night (x2)
Chorus:
Up all night on a bender
What a fool I’ve been and
Lord if you get me through this
I’ll never do it again
I’ll never do-oo it again
I’ll never do-oo-oo it again

Under Construction
Words and Music by Amber Snider
© 2013, Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs 1:
When you called I came running
You said jump, I said how high?
I complied without question
Without every asking why
Now you're looking for answers
That you can only find within
Am I supposed to just stand here?
And wait for you so that we can begin?
Chorus:
This heart is closed, under construction
Temporarily shut down for remodeling
So thank you for your patience, your kind understanding
Things will be much better at the “Grand Opening”
Vs 2:
I'm taking time for me
It's been a long time comin'
I'm not gonna worry about your facebook status
Am I your love or just a friend?
You can never make up your mind
I've been here the whole time
One day you'll open your eyes
It'll be too late and you'll realize
Chorus:
This heart is closed, under construction
Temporarily shut down for remodeling
So thank you for your patience, your kind understanding
Things will be much better at the “Grand Opening”
Bridge:
I know you are use to having things your way
But I don't have the strength anymore
Don't worry, when I'm ready
You'll be the first to know
Just look for the sign on the door
Instrumental
Chorus (x3):
This heart is closed, under construction
Temporarily shut down for remodeling
So thank you for your patience, your kind understanding
Things will be much better at the “Grand Opening”

The Honest Kind
Words & Music by Amber Snider © 2004
Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs 1:
You say you’re my eternal flame, my uncrushable, unbreakable frame
I hope to God that what you say is true because I only want one flame and I want it to be you.
I want it to be you.
Vs 2:
You look at me with those all knowing eyes.
You talk about what you want to do tonight.
You were never one to hold back what was on your mind and I guess I’m attracted to...
Chorus:
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
Vs 3:
If I fall, would you be there to pick me up?
I’ve never had good balance and I always get stuck.
I need to take a moment to figure out what’s on my mind.
I need to think about if you’re indeed...
Chorus:
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
Bridge:
I’m not saying that I don’t know how to trust.
Just want to make it clear up front yes I must.
I want to believe you when you say that it’s true and
I guess I kind of do think that you are.
Chorus (x2):
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind
The Honest Kind, The Honest Kind

You are an angel, sent from above
You show me how to live
You teach me how to love

You're more than I could hope for
You’re everything I need

I would walk a million miles
Just to be by your side
I would wade through a million smiles
Just to see your perfect one
V3:
You are an angel sent from above
You show me how to live

Go Away, So I Can Miss You
Words and Music Amber Snider © 2019
Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs 1:
First off let me say
You mean the world to me
I use to not get enough of you
Now there’s not enough of me
You expect things, so do I
We get busy with our lives
When I forget about loving you
I need reminding once in a while
Chorus:
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Vs 2:
I’m a mother, I’m a wife
Before that I was just me
Now endless worry clouds my mind
All I wanna do is break free
I need me some "me time"
To listen to my heart
So take the baby somewhere fun
I'll miss ya' while we’re apart
Chorus:
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Bridge:
Gurus say I need a change
Gotta stop the chatter in my brain
Took a bath, wrote a song, listened to the wind
Found some peace inside my mind
Found a place to begin
But sometimes I need you to understand and...
Chorus:
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Go away, go away so I can miss you
Go away, go away and I will kiss you… I promise

Waited So Long
Words and Music by Amber Snider © 2012
Puddle Siren Music, ASCAP
Vs1:
The soldier came back from the war
His girlfriend married the boy next store
She said I never heard from you
I really didn’t know what to do
I waited so long
Vs 2:
They use to feel so right
How did they turn out so wrong?
They use to hold each other tight
Until the moonlight was gone
He’s waited so long
Vs 3:
He looked at her picture a thousand times
He told everyone, see this girl? She’s all mine
Waiting for me to cross the sea
Her smile would warm his heart while his body would freeze
Oh he’s waited so long, he’s waited so long.
Bridge:
She gave him no number to call
She gave him no email at all
Only a napkin with a lipstick kiss
And an address of where she lived
She said don’t forget to write…
Instrumental
Vs 4:
He wrote words of love to her constantly
but his letters were received down the street
By a lonely old woman he would never meet
who’s happy to hear from her husband she’d
lost long ago in a war. She’s waited so long.

Vs 1:
I have loved you long as I remember
All our years, they felt like days
It’s you I hold dear now and forever
You were so near than you went away
Chorus:
I always felt safe in your arms
I always had your love to keep me warm
I had a dream you were in it
I tried to save you but you died anyway
Vs 2:
When you took the life God gave you
You took the love you gave to me
I was angry, so damn angry
I stopped caring ‘bout anything
Chorus:
I always felt safe in your arms
I always had your love to keep me warm
I had a dream you were in it
I tried to save you but you died anyway
Vs 3:
I was nine when you died
I still remember your Christmas pies
We tried to love you to make you better
You died on a Friday right before Easter time
Chorus:
I always felt safe in your arms
I always had your love to keep me warm
I had a dream you were in it
I tried to save you but you died anyway
Instrumental
Outro:
I have loved you long as I remember
All our years they felt like days
