Just For Me
02:38
|

|
Green flowers on a tree
Soon to become leaves
But for now they're green/flowers on a tree
Flowers just for me
Blue skies stretching above
Wrapping me with love
Whispering the stories of the cloud
Each one very true - each one just for you
And me
Ahh...
Cold coffee on the window
Birds and wind singing low
It's a beautiful day to move slow
Steady as a branch/swaying in the wind
Butterfly take wind
Ahh..
I'm living in the moment
Not looking behind
Not looking ahead
Just green flowers on a tree
Flowers just for me

Cut My Own Hair
02:42
|
|||
|
I cut my own hair
I tie my own shoes
I pay my own rent
Adulting just you
I'm growing up
Still got much to learn
Can't get enough
Of this big old world
A dreamer by night
A realist by day
Can't give up the fight
Can't get my own way
I'm growing up
And sometimes it hurts
Can't get enough
Of this heartbreaking world
I'll brave it alone
Until I just want to go home
Cutting my own hair
Isn't always fair
I'm growing up
Don't have to be alone
With just a little love
To make a home of this
Big old world

Couch Potato
02:09
|
|||
|
Sitting around on the couch
Watching the sun come in and out
Oh there's nothing to do
But so much to be done
Procrastination runs deep in my blood
Letting everything just pile up
Oh there's no need to stress
But so much to worry about
I want to get up
Want to feel some validation
Want to feel something worthwhile
But I couldn't care less
And I couldn't care more
So I'll keep sitting on the couch
Watch the sun come down
Maybe tomorrow
But just not today

Better Luck
03:19
|

|
I used to think I would love him
I used to think I would love him
And as time would show it
My heart kept growing
But it still wasn't enough
I used to think I would love him
I used to think I would love him
So I tried to make some more room
Let go of faded memories
But still not enough
So I moved a little closer
And he moved a little closer
But these walls between us
Never went away
I used to think I would love him
I used to think I would love him
My heart beat trying to match his
My heart beat broken and bleeding
And still not enough
So I moved a little further
And he followed
But these walls between us
Grew taller
I never felt smaller
So I sat there
On my side of the wall
And I wondered if he could love me
At all

Tired Soul
04:14
|
|||
|
I'm so tired
I cannot rest
The thought of closing my eyes
Just fills me with dread
Time shows no mercy
It's unkind
So uncanny
Tell me why
Do I always end up feeling so
Let down
Over and over again
I am shown
How unreliable life can be
And I just want something steady
Over and over again
I am shown
How heartbreaking life really is
And I just want a good memory
So can we share
A good memory
I am a skeptic
Always have been
And perhaps that's my trouble
I doubt every good thing
Instead of accepting
Perhaps
There's nothing to it
They say
Visualizing the end is a good thing
But I see
A vision of hope
Followed by emptiness
Over and over again
I am shown
How joyful a life can be
But just can't seem to keep it
Over and over again
I am shown
How simple it all really is
So can we simplify
Simplify

Wired
02:53
|
|||
|
Same old view
Same old window
Same old alleyway
Same old car
Same old scar
Same old yesterday
Why
Why
Day after day
Feeling the same
Feeling so tired
Night after night
Feeling the same
Feeling so wired
Why
Why
Break me out
Of the mundane worry
Break me out
Oh won't you please hurry
Same old view
Same old view
Break me out
Of the mundane worry
Break me out
Oh won't you please hurry
Hurry
Hurry

Try Again
02:00
|
|||
|
Time to try again
Flap my arms so hard again
And give into the wind
Finally take off and go
Straight into the sun
Straight into the sun
Time to fall again
Hit the ground so fast again
My tired arms won't give
Healing every wound once more
But still I cannot understand
Why I try again
Holding on to hope
Useless intangible feeling that
Sits inside my gut
Telling me this time it's real
This voice it won't shut up
Maybe I should listen
Maybe I should listen
Time to try again

Bird Song

Lazy day/lazy day/lazy day
What will I do/will I do/will I do
Lazy day/lazy day/lazy day
What will I do
What will I do
I could sleep/I could sleep
Sleep all day
Yes I could sleep/I could sleep/I could sleep
But with my eyes closed I can't see
With my eyes closed I can't see
Maybe today's the day I'll sprout my wings
Maybe today I'll love myself
Lazy day/lazy day/lazy day
I don't want it anymore
Cuz I can't wait/I can't wait/I can't wait
Until my feet don't touch the floor
Maybe I'll be flying
Maybe even soaring
Maybe today I'll love
Myself
Nothing can go wrong
Because this is my song
Even if I fall
I'll still be standing tall
Lazy day
Lazy day

Purple Flowers
03:08
|
|||
|
Wake up
See all the purple flowers
On the ground
Looking up
As if they were towers
Rain drops
Fresh on all of the petals
Reminding me
Everything moves before it setlles
Before it settles
Before it settles
Before it settles
Before it settles
Nothing is meant to last
Forever
Beauty is a fleeting
Endeavor
In the briefness of living
There you can find
The meaning
Joy celebrates the movement
Before it settles
Before it settles
Before it settles
Before it settles
Before it settles
Purple flowers
Floating in the aire
Purple flowers
Hidden everywhere
Before they settle
Before they settle
Before they settle
Before they settle

Waters Edge
04:28
|
|||
|
I still keep you
In the pocket of my jeans
Piece of paper
Soft and gently creased
I've been waiting
At the edge of the water
With my hands tied
And my feet turned to stone
I don't know if I'll ever
Go home
Something secret
Something special
I don't know what it is
I'm looking for
Piece of paper
Faded letters
You're my only hope
I've been waiting
At the edge of the water
With my hands freed
And my feet turned to goo
I don't know
How to make my way back
To you
I've been waiting
At the edge of the water
With my arms out
My feet jumping
I feel the cold water
Pressed
Against my
Skin

Over You
03:54
|
|||
|
I don't want to be that girl
Waiting all day by the phone
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
I don't want to be that girl
Hanging on your every word
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
I've been that girl before
Don't need to visit her
So please don't make me bring her to life
At the end of day
When rain and fog have cleared away
I'll choose me over her
I'll choose me over you
I have trouble letting people in
I have trouble letting love begin
I've been hurt before
Many a times wounded and soar
And I don't want that hurt
Anymore
Know that I don't lie
Know that I expect the truth
Know that I will stand by you
Until you push me
This time I'm walking away
I'm walking away
I've been that girl before
Don't need to visit her
So please don't make me bring her to life
At the end of the day
When rain and fog have cleared away
I'll choose me over her
I'll choose me over you

Hearsay
04:05
|
|||
|
I've always known that people don't
Always like me
I've always known that people say
Terribly mean things about me
But I spend too much time
Not thinking about it
I spend too much time
Not giving two shits about it
But
Every now and then
I get stuck inside my head
Every now and then
I get stuck in their image
But I've got to remember
That these words were probably just said
Because they were
Jealous, or angry, or confused
Jealous, or angry, or confused
I've always known that I'm not one to follow rules
I've always known that I'm not one to fit your views
But I don't want to live inside your social constructs
I don't want to live inside your little, little box
Every now and then
I get stuck inside my head
Every now and then
I get stuck in their image
But I've got to remember
That these words were probably just said
Because they were
Jealous, or angry, or confused
Jealous, or angry, or confused
And every now and then
I get stuck inside my head
Every now and then
I fall in love instead
I fall, I fall, I fall, I fall
I fall, I fall, I fall, I fall
In love
With myself

Goodbye Young Heart
03:19
|

|
Goodbye my young, young heart
Time to grow up
For a new start
The years where we could play have past
But still the memory will last
This is goodbye but not the end
It's funny just how time goes by
Like a windy day, or a still cool night
It's much too fast, it's much too slow
You just can't win, oh that's for sure
So goodbye my young, young heart
You keep the markers on the wall
I'll keep the paintings in the hall
You keep that twinkling gleam
I'll keep the memory
But darling heart we'll share
The dream
Hello you strange, strange world
You're a combination of new and old
I grew up in you but I can't know
All your secrets, all your treasure cove
So hello, you strange, strange world
You keep your ancient history
I'll keep the newfound mystery
You keep the startling sense of awe
I'll keep the curtain falls' applause
Oh young heart
And strange world
We'll share
The dream
The dream
But so long as the sun is burning
And this heart inside keeps beating
And so long as this earth is turning
So will my heart keep on growing
It keeps on growing
And keeps on growing
Growing
So goodbye, my young young heart
Time to grow up for a new start
The years where we could play have past
But still the memory will last
This is goodbye but not the end
Goodbye my young, young heart
Time to grow up for a new start
The years where we could play have past
But still the memory will last
This is goodbye
But not the end
So goodbye, my childhood friend
