Sara

Sara’s lying on the floor and she’s crying
What a hard hard lesson to learn when you’re only nine
And she’s scared so scared so scared of everything
That she’d break her own back just to never put a toe out of line
Tell her you need her and she’s wrapped around your finger
Feed her a line and she will beg for more
She knows that she’s not worth the time you give her
But she can’t stand the thought of you walking out the door
But she smiles when she’s sad
Just so you won’t feel uncomfortable
And she laughs when it hurts
When the words won’t come and the world’s caught in her throat
And she’s beautiful
She don’t know it
But she is
Sara’s lying on her back and she’s lying
This isn’t what love feels like - it’s just a way to save herself
Cause she’s scared still scared so scared of everything
That she’s got her heart, her hopes, her dreams tucked away on a shelf
Tell you you love her and she’s putty in your fingers
Feed her some guilt and she will beg for more
She knows that she’s not worth the time you give her
But she can’t stand the thought of you not loving her anymore
And still - there’s a small spark of hope in her eyes
And still - there’s a piece of her heart deep inside
Yes a piece of her heart that she hides
Fighting its way to the light

With Apologies
04:56

Your words are honey, but they hide something bitter
A turn of phrase, your words a maze, but at least you’d never hit her
And I’m walking on eggshells, ‘cause I don’t want this to end
But the more you’re mean, the more I cling, and I’ve said goodbye to all my friends
And I’m walking on eggshells. I’m walking on eggshells
And I’m sorry I said “I love you” too many times today
And I’m sorry for the way my face fell when you said it wasn’t ok
I swear I’m trying to be anyone but me
Cause I know how it makes you uneasy
To watch me fall apart
So you can take my soul and shake it
You can take who I am and change it
Take my love and hate it
But please, don’t break my heart
Don’t break my heart
You’re bright and I’m foolish. At least that’s what you say
You’ve no faith in me, it’s all just dreams - didn’t wanna be an artist anyway
And I’m walking on eggshells, ‘cause where would I be without you?
I’m naïve and the world is mean; it’s not fair out there it’s true.
And I’ll keep walking on eggshells - walking on eggshells

Trace
04:01
|
|||
As she wakes from a dream that feels like memories
She could swear there’s smoke in the air
And the heat from his skin should burn her alive
But somehow they’re just lying there
He’s fragile as dust and could crumble with a touch
But he reaches out for her
And he’ll trace the tattoo on her shoulder
But he won’t stay inside of the lines
‘Cause it’s hard to see in the dark dear,
And darling it’s fine
Darling it’s fine
He says he’s fine, but he smells of smoke
And his skin is ash
The flames on his tongue, on his lips, in his eyes
Speak the truth and she can’t relax
His touch burns like ice - she’ll be consumed
But oh what a way to go
Just close your eyes - let the world melt away
Just close your eyes - let the world melt away
Just close your eyes - let the world melt away
Just close your eyes

Talk All Night
04:22
|
|||
Hey, just saw you walk into the room and say
Absolutely nothing, and baby,
I’d just like to hear your voice
So do you know somewhere we could go?
I think that we should just take it slow
Cause I just wanna know what’s going on in your head
I just wanna know what you’re thinking
I just wanna know if you’re feeling what I’m feeling
Could we just talk all night
Till the sun gets low and the moon gets high
Baby don’t be shy
Tell me everything - all your hopes, all your dreams all right
In the starlight, when the neon’s bright
Tell me everything - baby please can we just talk all night?
Ya know, small talk's overrated so
Do you think that we could just go straight
To where you tell me about your first kiss
I'll try to keep it light - I don't mean to pry
But honey could you please tell me why
I feel like I recognize your soul?
Cause I just wanna know what's going on in your head
I just wanna know what you're thinking
I just wanna know if you could see me like I see you
Hey, I just saw you walk into the room and say
Absolutely nothing at all

Everywhere I Go
03:05
|

Everywhere I go, I feel you in my bones
And somehow I know that I am never alone
Even when I sleep somehow you haunt my dreams
Yeah it always seems that I am never alone
You’re stuck inside my head
And I just can’t get you out
Every word you ever said
Still bouncing ‘round my head somehow
Somehow and I am never alone
People walking by - I see you every time
Out the corner of my eye and I am never alone
Every now and then when I’m alone again
I hear your voice in the wind and I am never alone
Might as well invite you in; I can sense you anyway
I feel your stare as cold as ice and I just can’t get away
You’re stuck inside my head
And I just can’t get you out
Every word you ever said
Still bouncing ‘round my head somehow
Somehow and I am never alone
Everywhere I go - I am never alone (I am never, never alone)
Even when I sleep - I am never alone (I am never, never alone)
People walking by - I am never alone (I am never, never alone)
I hear your voice in the wind - I am never alone (I am never, never alone)
Everywhere I go - I am never alone (I am never, never alone)

Cold Coffee
05:04
|
|||
After crying on your shoulder I said that I was sorry
Didn’t mean to put that on you
You just wrapped your arms around me and said,
“Honey, that’s just what I do.
I’ve got broad shoulders - You can lay it all on me”
Few years later drinking coffee and I’ve got you laughing
Can’t remember what was so damn funny
And when I left I didn’t know it’d be the last time that I would see you
But you said you loved me
Oh those broad shoulders and cold coffee
And I’ll never remember every word you said to me
But how you made me feel, well that sticks
Like wood smoke from campfires
Like sewing machines and wildflowers
And a safe place away from everything
That old kitchen table overheard a lot of stories
It was the one place where we could just be
Cause the way that something seems isn’t always the way it really is
That much is clear to see
With kind eyes over cold coffee
And sometimes when I’m lost and can’t remember who I am
I just close my eyes and picture you sitting there
With coffee cups and blue jeans
Kind eyes and sewing machines
And nothing that we couldn’t share
You were wood smoke from campfires
You were sewing machines and wildflowers
And a safe place away from everything
Do you remember that Conway Twitty song about girls in tight-fitting jeans?
You said you loved it and you didn’t quite know why
And all those starry nights and country songs were making memories
Like cold coffee, broad shoulders, and faded jeans
Cold coffee, broad shoulders, and faded jeans
Cold coffee, broad shoulders, and faded jeans

Crazy
04:32
|
|||
Maybe I should be committed
Thinking you’d give me a second look
But you touched my arm, you said my name
And honey, it’s got me shook
Don’t think I could do without it,
It’s like a drug running through my veins.
It’s sweet and sharp and it kicks my heart
And it sounds just like your name
And maybe, I’m crazy and it won’t work out
This hope is a threadbare rope and it’s about to give out
And I’m pretty sure I lose my mind
Every time you’re standing next to me
And I think I might sell my soul
Just to hear you call me baby
I should be so lucky just to be your crazy
Trying not to think about it,
But I can’t get you out of my mind
Oh is it just me? These neuroses -
Delusions to hide behind
And darlin you’ve got me manic
In a way I just can’t describe
When you glance at me with those soulful eyes -
Ain’t there a drug that can be prescribed
Cause maybe, I’m crazy, and it won’t work out
This hope is a threadbare rope and it’s about to give out

Take me down a notch or two
I am incomplete without you
What the hell was I thinking?
How long have I been dreaming?
I am nothing outside you
I am nothing outside you
I didn’t mean to stand so tall
I didn’t mean to laugh so loud
You’re right, you’re right - I’m wrong
The world is cold, the world is dark
And I don’t stand a chance
Unless I’m standing in your shadow
But you say that's not what you said
I live with this gas light in my head
So won’t you please ….
Take me down a notch or two
I am incomplete without you
What the hell was I thinking?
How long have I been dreaming?
I am nothing outside you
I am nothing outside you
I didn’t mean to come on strong; I should’ve seen it all along
You’re right - I tried too hard
What’s done is done and all that’s left are remnants running through my head
I’m lurking in your shadow
But you say that’s not what you said
I live with a dim light in my chest
So won’t you please …..

Unraveling
01:01
|
|||
Don’t look at me like that
Don’t tell me who I am - I already know
Don’t tie me up in words
They can change just like the tides
There’s an ebb and there’s a flow
I’m all stitched together with just two strands of hope
And if these seams start unraveling
Then where else can I go
With just two strands of hope

Sometimes It's Time
05:11
|
|||
Sometimes it’s a setting sun
Sometimes it’s a knock on the door
Sometimes it’s a quiet whisper
That says “There’s more”
Sometimes it’s a feeling deep inside
A feeling you just can’t explain
But you know if someone said it
You’d recognize its name
And sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, it’s just time to move on
As you stand on the edge of something great
And it looks like a long way down
Please know it’s only when we lose ourselves
That we are truly found
An adventure lies before you
Listen to its call
Cause a thousand arms are waiting
To catch you if you fall
Cause sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, it’s just time to move on
You could stay, but at what price to your soul?
You could stay, but I think you know
That it’s time to go, oh it’s time to go
Sometimes you can want so badly
That you just hold on too tight
All along not understanding
If you’d just let go, it’d be alright
Everything will be ok
It’s gonna be alright
Everything will be ok
It’s gonna be alright
You’re gonna be alright

Fallout
03:44
|
|||
Once upon a time, the sky
Came crashing down
And you didn’t even have to ask
I let you into the shelter
As it turns out, you were the fallout
Never saw it coming, now I’m running
Soul as old as mountains, some days
Or am I brand new, naïve,
Looking for an easier way
Now everything we did in the dark
Will come to light
Cause I won’t let you be the chapter
I don’t read out loud
‘Cause as it turns out, I am a loud-mouth
Never one to put it down and just leave it
Soul as bright as fire, some days
Or am I small and weak, and cold
Waiting for the light of day
Now the sky’s no longer falling
And the air is clear
Though our lungs still burn with poison
We don’t live in fear
Cause as it turns out, it all works out
Can’t dwell on disaster, just run faster
Soul in search of peace, always
Standing in the sun, so tall
Taking it day by day
Taking it day by day

Get Lost
03:58
|
|||
I think I’m done wishing for the way things were
I think I’m through dreaming that you’ll change
This is me, this is me now and there’s no going back
I think you should do the same
No more “shoulds” stealing our joy -
All that shit is in the past
Forget the roads that we’ve been walking on
Let’s find a new one and never look back
Let’s get lost, let’s get lost, let’s get lost - And maybe start over again
Let’s get lost let’s get lost - And maybe start over again
Let’s get lost - And maybe start over again
Let’s get lost - And maybe start over
I think I’m finished waiting for you to change your mind
We’ve got to get up and move if we’re gonna go
Can’t sit and worry and plan it all out
Life’s a river, let’s go with the flow
I need to find some peace of mind
Let the past be in the past
The only thing holding you back is you
Get up, get going, and let’s never look back
