I know I’m not the only one
Who’s tried hard
But isn’t as far down the road
As I thought I would be by now
I’ve got a desired outcome deficiency
I’m time sensitive
How many days go by in knots -
Overlooking a realized dream?
How much has my tight fist missed
What was coming?
I’m time sensitive
An urgent sense of the end of this
Has me feeling this way...
Losing sleep over what I can’t change
Throw out the dead bouquet
Let go of the dream decay
I am fresh water in an empty vase
Bring me the new
Throw out the dead bouquet
Let go of the dream decay
I am fresh water in an empty vase

Stormy At The Top
V1
We had another fall, broke like a vase
We had to glue it back together
We’re not like those other people, nothing out of place
With us so much bad weather
V2
You’re a cannon ball, I’m a spinning plate
Any minute someone could come crashing
But there’s something better when we do
We never stay the same
With you I wanna get into the action
Pre
When there’s choppy water at the top of the waves
Looks like we might need saving
But far below there’s an anchor buried
Never gets too scary
Chorus
It might be
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
I’d rather it’s that than the other way around
V3
Sometimes I’m the runner, then I’m on the chase
We get centrifugal, we push the edges
But the pulling always brings me back to look you in the face
You are my home, it passes
Pre
When there’s choppy water at the top of the waves
Looks like we might need saving
But far below there’s an anchor buried
Never gets too scary
Chorus
It might be
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
Stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
I’d rather it’s that than the other way
Bridge
Nothing to hide
Not saying lines
Just us here
The brighter side
Has dark nights
Just be here
(There’s an anchor
You are safe here
You are safe, dear)
I will hear you when no one else is listening
Bring on the storm
It’s better than pretending
That it’s not
Stormy at the top
Stormy at the top
Chorus
It might be stormy at the top
But it’s steady deep down
I’d rather it’s that than the other way around

W.B.M.B.
My baby is the sound of spring -
Birds out the window
My baby is the smell of dinner getting ready in the evening...
Wanna be my baby?
My baby is first thing when your eyes are open in the morning
My baby is a whole day off with nothing on the calendar
Wanna be my baby?
Oh do you wanna be my baby?
You’re making something of yourself
While you’re at it
Wanna make yourself my baby?
Wanna be my baby?
My baby is the feeling after a long hard run
Knowing you’ve done something good
Wanna be my baby?
My baby is the key turning at 6pm in the front door
Wanna be my baby?
You’re making something of yourself
Something of yourself
While you’re at it
Wanna make yourself my baby?
Wanna be my baby?
Oh do you wanna be my baby?

March
V1
March 15, I didn’t expect to see myself
Be let down by this
I lost something I didn’t know I wanted
People say this is an unlucky day
Maybe I felt charmed,
Thought I was bullet proof
Thought I was immune
Chorus
Til March
Toward something new
Trying to find you
March
March to the beat of my own wanting
March
I can’t board up a heart that’s hoping
March
I’ll let it keep time
It knows where I’m going
V2
Once you start to want anything
You’ve opened up
You’ve let your guard down
You’re a bullseye now
You aren’t safe anymore
Which makes you wonder if you ever were
All you can do
Is put your feet to the ground and let your pulse move you
Chorus
Til March
Toward something new
Trying to find you
March
March to the beat of my own wanting
March
I can’t board up a heart that’s hoping
March
I’ll let it keep time
It knows where I’m going
Bridge
Making friends with waiting
Holding hands with disappointment
Kissing all that’s aching
Making love in every empty moment
Forgiving all this time that’s passed
Since
Chorus
Til March
Toward something new
Trying to find you
March
March to the beat of my own wanting
March
I can’t board up a heart that’s hoping
March
I’ll let it keep time
It knows where I’m going

The Road Home
V1
I can turn off the maps
It’s so strange I’m even saying it like that
They should have to be put away
Folded and forgotten in the glove box like the old days
Pre1
I wanna drive way out
Back down 205 South
I used to go the other way
To hear what the city might say
But I’m headed back
To ask some questions
See if I’m on the right track
Chorus 1
The road home, it rewinds me
The road home feels like age 16
The road home
If I’d seen how good things are now
Would I have tried to get out
A little sooner?
V2
Who is that girl?
It’s so strange to know my eyes and hands were hers
Since then I’ve seen many worlds
But I know this one
I know this one
Pre 2
I wanna drive way out
Back down 205 South
I still know the way
I’m here to hear what the old haunts say
Yeah I’m headed back
To ask some questions
See if I’m on the right track
Chorus 2
The road home, it rewinds me
The road home feels like age 16
The road home
If I can’t forgive all that was
Can I be free of the bonds
Of regret and anger?
Bridge
Bless that little child
Bless that little child
God within
Bless that little child
Forgive the best she did
Bless that little child
Bless that little child
Mother within
Bless that little child
Forgive the best she did
Chorus 3
The road home, it rewinds me
The road home feels like age 16
The road home
That girl there, so open hearted
No we’re never apart
So I’m here to hold her

Universe Inside A Girl
V1
Where does a soul come from?
Did yours already start and end?
Or are the soul-stuffers looking for a different cell collection
Will you come to me another time?
V2
Do they pour you in with the blood?
Or is your soul already inside me?
Way down deeper than I can dive
In a place I can’t see with my eyes?
Chorus
Half of me
Half of him
A part of everyone that came before
A universe inside a world
V3
I’m a whole world of people
Are they waiting to be called to the stage?
Or if it’s what I can remember
I never asked to come here
Neither did you, unless you know something I don’t
V4
Why does it feel like I lost you
If you were never more than a poppyseed
It would have been nice to meet you
Just think of everything we... together
Chorus
Half of me
Half of him
A part of everyone that came before
A universe inside a girl
Bridge
151,782 of you
Are there 151,782 of you?
Where does a soul come from?
Did yours already start and end?

Hold Me To Your Heart
It was a dark night
And I wanted nothing but the darkness
Light didn’t feel right
I wanted nothing but aloneness
My thoughts weren’t polite
You came into the room
You didn’t ask me what you should do
You just sat and held me tighter
Than you had before
I could tell you knew the thoughts behind my mind’s door
Sleep was coming for me
It pulled down with its claws
And I wasn’t gonna stop it
Til you busted down the door
Hold me to your heart
Hold me til mine restarts
Sometimes when I get this far away
I can’t find the words to say
The right thing to myself
I need help
Hold me to your heart
Hold me to your heart

Modelo
I don't even like Modelo, Modelo, Modelo
But it's the way you look at me -
Makes it taste salty and sweet
I'll call it gold instead of yellow, yellow, yellow
Cause with your head here in my lap
It's a hot summer day with a tingle going down my back
.
I wanna have your baby
And everything that comes with that
I wanna get old with you,
Have one or two or three of them
But I'm also scared
Since we all won't be here for the whole thing
How can I be so excited for time to pass by
When I'll lose everything in the process?
.
I don't even like Modelo, Modelo, Modelo
But it's the way you look at me -
Makes it taste salty and sweet
I'll call it gold instead of yellow, yellow, yellow
Cause with your head here in my lap
It's a hot summer day with a tingle going down my back
