Story Behind The Song
Written during our engagement, this song is dedicated to my beautiful wife, Meghan.
Song Description
"Do What Dreams Come True" contrasts the busy-ness of modern life with the timelessness of true love. A driving up-tempo beat complements a soaring vocal line and provides a frenetic background that is punctuated by a dreamy half-time chorus. The momentum builds gradually from understated intro to thrilling finish.

Lyrics
I've got a long list
Of things to do before I die
It's pointless,
But I check each one off that I try.
Every time I achieve a new trick up my sleeve
There's another button coming undone.
then you, you come outta nowhere
and now I share what once was mine
and less is more infinite time
to dream what we can do
and do what dreams come true
It's endless
The amount of junk I got on my desk.
And I'm restless
So I wrestle with the meaninglessness
There's no way to relate. I feel like a fake,
And I can't afford to make a mistake.
chorus
I've got a long list
Of things to do before I die
I raise a tight fist
And beat a rhythm into the sky
The rain starts to fall and I hear the call
Of music coming out of the air.
