Musically, What Can I Do For You? came to me fully formed by Brad. So great to have half of the songwriting puzzle already in place and I just happened to have had a set of lyrics that slipped right in. It’s as close to a love song as I get and it speaks to how easy and human it is to look for what another person can do for you. But when you’re partners, sometimes what you do for that other person is good for you both.

I really like the way this one turned out. I wrote this several years back but the bridge is new since Mac and I began working on it. Actually, the arrangement got a complete overhaul on some of the verse and chorus sections just before release. Hopefully it contributes to this beautifully crafted and touching lyric.
I should know better but sometimes I don’t
I wrote you a letter but it’s still in my coat
It said all the things I should’ve said
See sometimes love gets rusty not all roses are red
Who knows where the wind comes from or which way its gonna blow
But we’re traveling together and I go where you go
What Can I do for you That no one else before me could do?
What can I tell you that you never knew To make you feel love What Can I Do?
You don’t believe in magic well I got nothin up my sleeve
I know that you’ve been left before but I ain’t gonna leave
I’ll be the voice at the end of the line
See baby I got your number
so call anytime
(chorus)
Days turn in to years
And if times the test whatever’s left I swear
I’ll still be here
You looked like an angel so I thought I’d let you sleep
It’s been ages now but I made a vow that I intend to keep
Forever doesn’t feel as far as it did yesterday
We cannot change a thing and I wouldn’t anyway
And who knows where the wind comes from or which way its gonna blow
But we’re traveling together
and I go where you go
What Can I do for you that no one else before me could do?
What can I tell you that you never knew To make you feel love
What Can I Do?
Who knows where the wind comes from or which way its gonna blow
But we’re traveling together
and I go where you go
