All That You Are

We walk in straight lines so we don’t veer off course
And make more mistakes that might break us or worse
But where do we go, I’m not liking this show that we’re feigning on one another
The snow starts to stick and begins again the war
Why can’t I be free of all that you are?
Happiness is a choice tell me that’s where you went
When you said we weren’t working, is that what you meant?
There’s something about this place
Baby you left a trace
Of our love and I don’t know why but I know this has to be goodbye
The grass grew there, you know
The park where we used to go
And I don’t know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye
Sitting on that park bench, scanning everything we’ve seen
I wish that you believed me, I wasn’t trying to be mean
Afraid the hurt would burst out- so I had to go away
I’m sorry I can’t bring myself to say
There’s something about this place
Baby you left a trace
Of our love and I don’t know why but I know this has to be goodbye
The grass grew there, you know
The park where we used to go
And I don’t know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye
You left me thinking that I blew it
But I wonder if you knew it
That we were never matched and our hearts still slashed at the thought of it being over
over, over.....
There’s something about this place
Baby you left a trace
Of our love and I don’t know why but I know this has to be goodbye
The grass grew there, you know
The park where we used to go
And I don’t know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye
And I don't know why but I know this has to be, this has to be goodbye

I Don't

I don’t want you to hate me
I don’t want you to love me
I just want you to leave me
First time we met at a birthday party and we talked for hours
Didn’t drink a thing but now I know all of your super powers
That night you made me feel so intriguing
You walked me home and said that you were sad that I was leaving
I don’t want you to hate me
I don’t want you to love me
I just want you to need me, for now
You started calling me almost every single day
Wanted to see me but I didn’t know what to say
Pulling you back and forth, don’t wanna string you along
But to shut you out, ignore your calls well I know it feels so wrong
I don’t want you to hate me
I don’t want you to love me
I just want you to leave me, alone
Baby you know the lines are so unclear
But this whole time my heart it holds you near
Worried that we’d lose each other between the miles
That stood between us, so I latched onto what was close by
What was close by
I don’t want you to hate me
I don’t want you to love me
I just want you to leave me
I just want you to leave me

Home

The lights outside my house
They’re brighter when you’re around
You pull up to the door
And I don’t care anymore
Sprinkles of snow are on the ground
It finally feels like winter now
Made a surprise visit tonight
Now my heart it feels so light
The happiness I feel
When it’s cold outside but it’s warm in here
The taste of chocolate on your mouth
Love feels cozy this time of year
Love feels cozy this time of year

Forward Motion
03:21
|

This morning walked out the door
The sun hadn’t even risen but I got on the train and rode it right into the city
The streets were ready for me to begin
and I walked down ready to win
Fresh cool air, a brand new start and it’s my time
You give me some forward motion
Let me outta this standstill ocean
The waves are finally moving toward the middle of the sea, and I think I like it
You set me free toward that, toward that forward motion
Keep giving me that forward motion
What gets me outta bed
Not letting anyone else get ahead, spinning around and never falling to the ground
The kind of feeling that makes you wonder
When is everything else going under?
So much happy, I don’t know how
But this is here, not then but now
You give me some forward motion
Let me outta this standstill ocean
The waves are finally moving toward the middle of the sea, and I think I like it
You set me free toward that, toward that forward motion
Keep giving me that forward motion
Trying to keep my eyes ahead
Happiness doesn’t go well with dread
Is this the quiet before the storm?
If I let it be then maybe,
It’s meant to be and plainly,
I can see that lately,
I’ve got my new start
You give me some forward motion
Let me outta this standstill ocean
The waves are finally moving toward the middle of the sea, and I think I like it
You set me free toward that, toward that forward motion
Keep giving me that forward motion

Hey Girl
03:40

Hey girl, you showed me a good time, showed me a good time
You made me come up with all these stupid rhymes
'Cos I've written more songs in a month than I've written in my whole life
Hey girl, you showed me a good time, you showed me a good time
Well it isn't hard to remember the fun we had
But baby it's hard to place the times that you were truly glad
'Cos you pushed one foot out the door the second that it was good
You never let me in but well somehow, there I still stood
Hey girl, what happened to the good times? What happened to the good times?
I knew that the end was imminent. so I let it be your decision
Hiding behind all your measured thoughts and your logical inquisitions
But it's just another cop out, you're too afraid to try and that's the truth
So don't you dare go and tell me that you feel like I knew you
Hey girl, I miss the good times, I miss the good times
The hardest part is I never got to know you and I never will
It makes me cry to realize all the time I spent climbing uphill
I gave you little pieces of my heart that I'll never get back
And that's okay, I just wish that you had given me something back
Hey girl. you missed out on a good time, you missed out on a good time
Hey girl was this a bad time? Was this a bad time?

Hold Onto

Stopped at the corner of fall and the park
We come back to this place in the middle of Brooklyn to mark
Everywhere we’ve been and where we will go
Each road has a memory but new seeds we will sew
ba ba da ba
Standing on the tree stumps, fresh autumn leaves on the ground
Gathering up our loneliness from each year that surrounds
So I’ll bring the mulled wine, if you promise to let me in
‘Cos as soon as that wind blows, our season begins
ba ba da ba
So hold my hand as the seasons change
Finally have it figured out, got our lives rearranged
Pull me close, our hearts we once knew
Believe in the love, we gotta hold on to
ba ba da ba
The changing of the colours fill us with hope and pain
It’s times like these I sure wish it would pour rain
You pull at my heart with your sorrow deep inside
And I wanna help you but I can’t look for you, I’ll never find you
I’ve tried I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried....
So hold my hand as the season change
Finally have it figured out, got our lives rearranged
Pull me close, our hearts we once knew
Believe in the love, we gotta hold on to
ba ba da ba

Sick of Feeling
04:03

Bent and Broken, twisted over back and forth a million times
Happy to run for the bus ‘cos it’s my chance to throw a tantrum on the pavement like I’m a child
I feel like a child
‘Cos I’m sick of feeling
and I’m sick of dreaming
and I’m sick of hoping, never knowing where I’m going
And I wanna please you
Don’t wanna leave you
I wanna end up tired and happy, free and easy
Ba ba da ba da ba da ba da ba da ba
The days are so long
I think I’m starting to hate every person going by
I never used to be this way, ya I agree with The Beatles, “All you need is love,”
But It’s exhausting
‘Cos I’m sick of feeling
and I’m sick of dreaming
and I’m sick of hoping, never knowing where I’m going
And I wanna please you
Don’t wanna leave you
I wanna end up tired and happy, free and easy
