Their first CD, the self-titled 'Wilshire', was released in 1998. The couple left Rocketown soon after, and began working on an independently produced CD 'Second Story', which they released in 2000.
The pair signed on Columbia Records in 2002 and Wilshire released 'New Universe'. The new album continued the couple's abandoning of the CCM genre, choosing instead to move more towards pop-rock. The album had a minor hit with the song 'Special'.
Wilshire released another independent EP, entitled 'Already Home', in 2005.

Wilshire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words are just words
And you've heard them before
You feel you can't go on this way
It's hard to recognize the stranger
In your mirror
And you've come undone
Waiting for the sun, oh yeah
And when a friend cannot be found
When the world just wants to drag you down
Like a slow weight tumbling to the ground, hold on
Oh, it's too much to bear
Look around, look around, tears are falling everywhere
At the end of the day we all feel the same, oh yeah
And when a friend cannot be found
When the world just wants to drag you down
Like a slow weight tumbling to the ground, hold on
When you're sure you've had all you can take
When you feel your heart begin to break
When it's easier to throw it all away, hold on
Oh yeah, and when a friend cannot be found
When the world just wants to drag you down
Like a slow weight tumbling to the ground, hold on
When you're sure you've had all you can take
When you feel your heart begin to break
When it's easier to throw it all away, hold on, oh yeah, oh

@hussainhhhh5571
[Intro]
Ahem, fuck, yeah
[Verse 1]
Met you on a Saturday, knew it was somethin' soon as you spoke it
Eye fuckin' across the table, don't think anybody noticed
You asked me if I was comin' the city you from
Maybe we should kick it, I was interested, that would be dumb
If I denied long legs, good ears, great taste
Smell good, sense of humor, obvious a good face
And we clicked, we was at each other's hips
I ain't even wanna fuck 'cause your presence was enough
You and I make sense, you stayed back at my telly
We was chattin' 'til mornin', the vibrations was heavy
I wasn't drownin' or yawnin', that's when I told you my feelings
You told me you felt the same, but you got homie you dealin' with
Damn, I didn't know, that's a bit unexpected
But I get it, it's whatever, least I can do is respect it
We still gon' kick it and check-in like nothin' could ever stop it
The problem is he my friend, but if I'm honest, I'm really hopin' you drop him
It's morals I really have, it's lines I could never cross
But you got somethin' that make all them good intentions get lost
I try to keep it together, never felt this way
We spent 'bout two weeks together, only skipped one day
And they say, "Bros over hoes," I'm like, "Mm, nah, hey"
I would rather hold your hand than have a cool handshake
But whatever, we still could be friends, it could still be chance
I'ma play it cool, we got somethin', we cannot pretend, uh, uh
[Interlude]
It's, it's like starting a race
And then when you take off, they like, "No, no, it's not a end," ha
It was too late and shit
[Verse 2]
FaceTimin', it ain't 'bout nothin', you laughin', packin' your luggage
It's nothin' incriminatin', but please delete our discussions
You hit me with a look and replied like, "Duh, bitch"
Don't want your man to think that we creepin' behind his back
Crossed the line, crossed the line, crossed the— nah, we never did that
Though I haven't seen him in months, shit, it's rare he never hit back
Anyway, convince him to bring you to me so we could kick it
Right in front of his lenses, nothing here is malicious
You sat by me in that movie, we went outside for them doobies
We walkin' off when we talk, man, that nigga not fuckin' stupid
He see it, he know it's somethin' we frontin' like, "Ha-ha-ha"
Whenever we "Ha-ha-ha," we subtly press his buttons
Not on purpose, but, man, I found my purpose
If I fuck our friendship up for you, I think it's worth it
But, nah, I can't do that, that nigga don't deserve it
And plus y'all got depth, I'm just the nigga on the surface, for real
Surface
[Interlude]
I said surface, like, 'cause they got roots
Like, I'm the new nigga
But you know, they be fuckin', haha
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
Didn't see you a couple weeks, think he want you away from me
Know y'all argue 'bout if you mad, you met him before you met me
I feel guilty, but not as much as I should
I tried to have that self-control, but not as much as I could
I been down for days, you in my city and I can't see your face
I can't eat knowin' you with him and not at my place
I never been jealous of another man
Especially when I have everything I want at hand
Except you, you
[Interlude]
You know, I got every damn car, multiple cribs
But it's like, "No, I want that," ha
[Verse 4]
He left for some days, I cleared out my sched', I cleared out my head
You dropped off at mine, I say that we fled, "No, you pick a place"
Week in Tulum, a week in Capri, or die right here
As long as you with me, I'll be at peace, huh
You was supposed to go back home to see your bestie
I told you I can't hit that zone, too busy next week
You was like, "Hmm, I'll stay a week, she'll get over that"
Seven days with me, your nigga like, "Where the fuck you at?"
Dirtyin' my bakin' pots, tennis at my mama's spot
Chauffeured in the Rolls, the back entrance for them restaurants
Parks playin' chess games, givin' wigs pet names
Manicures, night swims, Gerard providin' methane
Shoppin' 'til we droppin', what you coppin'?
See, the price is not a option
It's investments 'cause your smile is the profit to me
I know around him, you gotta act like you not into me
I know your answer, but you gotta keep it honest with me
Said you can't fully be into me 'cause you with him
Then why the fuck when we link it's like he doesn't exist?
And y'all know that we friends, but we both aware that it's more
Everything I got, if you say the word, then it's yours
The only thing I'm missin' in life, I know you could be it
And everyone around me that care about me can see it
I could fuck a trillion bitches every country I done been in
Men or women, it don't matter, if I seen 'em, then I had 'em
But with you, it's a feeling 'cause we twinnin' and we matchin'
You stayed in the car when I went on date with that actress
Whole time I'm eatin', I couldn't wait to get back
In the back of the car with you and talk about who we are
You told me when you with me, it's like heroin
Told me that your confidence went up since we befriended, and
Told me that you didn't wanna hurt him while we doin' this
Told me this a awkward situation and you just wanna be through with it
Told me every time you not with him, it started problems, and
Told me every time you not with me, you always ponder
What type of sweater I'm wearin', what music have I been finding
Girl, you know that I'ma play it whenever, that's what we bonded over
You said you told him the truth and you never lied
Now he lookin' at you with them eyes
We never crossed the line, but he got every right to be a lil' pissed off
He picked you up, y'all got an argument, he got his shit off
My energy like, "Get lost," your energy just want peace
I couldn't even tell you his energy 'cause he don't speak
He ain't even call you his bitch
Until he see me make you smile, that nigga threatened as shit
I'm in the wrong, though
I picked you up, your energy off
Your lips really dry, something is off
You ask if I gotta, I ask if you gotta
We trip on our words, nobody is lyin', hakuna matata
We sat in the car and cried for a hour
My shirt look like a showerhead got it, we called it off
I'll skip the details but that night I seen hell
You was in a room I was payin' for, I took three Ls
No, I didn't sleep well, woke up and my knees fell
They buckled to the ground, I cannot walk, shit, I need 'Vil
Next day I'm drivin' 'round the city with no destination back-up
Water in my eyes kept falling like Niagara
Vill right beside me makin' sure I didn't crash or
Do something heinous 'cause I'm emotionally jabbed up
You checked every box, I thought it was it
Felt like I got led on and pushed off a cliff
No, I'm in the wrong, that was a friend
No, fuck that, the energy we had, never again will find it
You in the wrong, gotta remind you 'bout the times that you stepped
Gotta rewind it— aw, fuck
We talkin' 'bout our kinks, real cautious with the links
You don't do that type of shit when you in relationship
And you a hundred with your mate, so don't go actin' like no saint
'Cause it's a two-way street, and shit, you knew what I was on
And while that nigga out and gone, shit, you was loungin' in my home
Shit, I even let you meet my mama and y'all got along
But shit, I take my L, though, it's not fun
You still got your nigga and still had your fun
Shit, I can't even look at you and think about bad words
That's why I called and said we couldn't end this on bad terms
We straight like a bad perm, we'll always be good friends
And laugh about it on a sandy beach while our back burns, huh
This my perspective, this how I feel
I ain't fabricate nothin', I kept it real
I told you I love you and always will
And if he ever put his hands on you, promise I'll get him killed, true
True, true, true, yeah
@LPSAllyawesome
if anyone else has been in this situation, you can perfectly relate to tyler here. i've been the home wrecker and lost my love and best friend in the process. it was and still is the hardest shit i’ve ever gone through. the overbearing ego, infatuation, and guilt is so real. you like to think you're excused cus you have this amazing connection, but it doesn't even matter cus he still picked her.
my advice: if you fall in love with your best friend's ex, just take at least a month away from both of them. These are the closest people to you, and you’re constantly surrounded. Respectfully leave and take a personal vacation to sort out your mind. Maybe when you come back, they would have split or at least mentally separate you from being part of “a trio”. The key is to separate the relationships as much as you can, but still maintain both. and if you still love your bff’s bf, just let your actions do the talking. Hangout, and bond, like friends, like you’re supposed to. Chances are things can meld naturally into a romantic relationship. And for your best friend, hangout with them too. They’re prob heart broken. Don’t offer any breakup advice, because you have no fucking right when your head is where its at. Just. Be their friend. Distract them. Live like how life was before they even had a bf. Help them.
if things are cooled down enough, tell them you’re seeing their ex. It probably won’t go over well. If your best friend hates you, fine. They have every right to. And if they’re “fine” with it, they’re probably not. They’re going to hold this against you. forever. But at least you can be honest with your best friend.
it’s tricky. but you’re allowed to love whoever you want. Your bff don’t own her ex. jus know that you can do whatever you want, but there will still be consequences and you gotta be fully prepared for them.
This is what I wish I did, and I tried. I tried my fucking best to keep both, but I ended up losing them. And it sucks because they was my closest friends. I cut off everyone else because it was all one sided. Now I am completely alone, for now.
I don’t think any of it would’ve worked out anyway. But that’s just my story.
