I Am

If you want a song from a girl that does no wrong
May I suggest you journey on
Cause I fall all the time
And I have to sing to stand again
It's the only rock I have
I live for the night
When the stars decide to shine
I'll find my place in that heavenly space
One day I'll go home
Off this lonely rode
I walk across the plains
I crawl through the caves
Searching always for something I can hold
Something I can call my own
How can it be that a girl like me can't find someone to love in the sun
But I'm not alone
The wind lest me know
She plays with my hair and tells me, darling don't frown
Just look all around
I try not to be so melancholy
But people have a way of twisting what you say
So I let them believe what they think of me
Cause in my bones I know what I am
I am a singer, I am a poet
I am going places, I know it
I am a sweetheart, I am a lover
I am my father's youngest daughter
And I'll find a way, I'll sing every day
I'll work my way up from the ground
I'll give the world a show
I'll give the world a show
I'll give you a show

Cobblestone

Did it mean anything when you came to church
And shook hands with my Dad?
How happy was I, but I don't know if it's right
For me to get my hopes up
Did it mean anything when we stayed up all night
Playing cards and singing songs?
I thought I saw sparks but I tend to think too much
And maybe I made it all up
My mind runs away to a cobblestone road
Where we walk hand in hand and I'm wearing your coat
And it's cold and it's clear, whisper in my ear, "we're home"
We're home
Do you feel anything when I sing to you
And pour out myself?
I'm scared sometimes that you'll see too much
But I can't seem to sing for you enough
Do you feel anything when you wake by my side
And I'm still asleep?
Cause in my dreams I'm always with you
Seeing all the things we could do
My mind runs away to a cobblestone road
Where we walk hand in hand and I'm wearing your coat
And it's cold and it's clear, whisper in my ear, "we're home
We're home
And I know I'm young
But I'm not afraid of what this may become
So kiss my face, take my embrace
And I wont run from home
Well I'm scared to look you in the eye
Cause I don't know what look I will find
Now that I've come clean
Tell me, did it mean anything?

I'm Sick
04:45
|
|||
|
I tried to tell you it's alright
To tell you to be fine but you wont let it go
And I tried to please your hungry heart
To take away the shards of broken lies stuck in your bones
But I don't know all the answers
I don't know all the answers
I don't know all the answers
And I need some help myself sometimes
Enough with your accusations
Enough with your imputations
I never wanted to be the villain you made me
But there's two ways we can do this
I'd rather you just left
Or I'll take you out back old yeller style
Cause I'm sick of this sad puppy shit
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of this
If pointing your finger is all you're gonna do
I'm never gonna waste a single breath on you
You're not the person that I thought
You're not the person that I want
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of this
Remember what you said last night?
Remember that bloody fight
Go on and lick your wounds
Bend the truth all you like
But there's two ways we can do this
I'd rather you just left
Or I'll take you our back old yeller style
Cause I'm sick of this sad puppy shit
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of this
And I know you think I'm a cold hearted woman
But all the feelings I had are gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone
The feelings are gone
I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick, I'm sick of this

Breakfast for Two
06:00
|
|||
|
I never used to feel alone
Had my guitar, had my dog
I had a mission, had a cause
I found a home and I've grown so much into what I want to be
Yet I feel so uneasy
Because I wake up and I want to make breakfast for two
When I go to work I want to say goodbye, I love you too
And I'd like to hold somebody's hand that'll hold mine back, but I can't
I've been in love, yes I've been in love
And I never thought I'd believe in monogamy
But I believe, I believe, I believe
Because I wake up and I want to make breakfast for two
When I go to work I want to say goodbye, I love you too
And I'd like to hold somebody's hand that'll hold mine back, but I can't
And maybe I've seen too many movies
And maybe I've read too many books
And maybe I've listened to too many love songs
But I still can't figure out what it is I'm doing wrong
Because I wake up and I want to make breakfast for two
When I go to work I want to say goodbye, I love you too
And I'd like to hold somebody's hand that'll hold mine back, but I can't
And I'll make you eggs and hash browns
And I'll lay out your clothes
And I'll wipe the sleep out of your eyes and tell you everything's alright
And I will hold your hand and I'll kiss your face
And I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away
I'll wipe your tears away

Bike to the Beach
04:58
|

|
I rode my bike to the beach and slept in the sand
I let the sun kiss my face and caress me down
The salt that stood on my skin was blown away
I lay me down
And oh, the breeze that licked me
And oh, the smell of the sea
You never fail to please me
You never fail to please
Opened my eyes to find a seal in the surf
His eyes so wide and bright, catching mine
I think he knew me, I think he knew me
From another time
And oh, the breeze that licked me
And oh, the sight of the sea
You never fail to please me
You never fail to please
I walked out to the water, it took me in
I let it wrap around me and wet my skin
The tide was so strong, it carried me along
And took me around the bend
And oh, the breezed that licked me
And oh, the salt of the sea
You never fail to please me
You never fail to please
And when it's cold I still come by
I know my home even when the sun doesn't shine
And oh, the breeze that licked me
And oh, the sound of the sea
You never fail to please me
You never fail to please

Heart to Tell
03:04
|
|||
|
If I told you that I loved you would you rip my heart apart by saying nothing?
And if I told you that I missed you would you let the moment pass like it was nothing?
Because I can't tell what your heart is feeling
I can't tell if your heart is beating with mine
I know that words are hard for you especially when it's all so brand new
I want to let you take your time but this young beating heart of mine is bursting, it's bursting
Because I can't tell what your heart is feeling
I can't tell if your heart is beating with mine
Your music makes me swoon
But you don't play for me
And your eyes shine bright with delight
But you don't turn that gaze to me
I know the warmth is inside of you
But it feels so far away
All the signs show bleak and gray
And yet you want to stay
I don't know how long I can wait
For your love to grow
For you to learn to let it show
Because it's so hard to tell what your heart is feeling
It's like you don't like the sound of your own hearts beating

Only 21
04:11

If it wasn't so beautiful I think I'd die
I have a hard time finding a reason why, why, why
Why try?
Well I thought it was love but it broke my heart
Then I thought maybe fun but I fell apart
So perhaps achievements but I've got a lot
They just sit in my cabinets and rot
So I thought adventure but I lost my way
Then maybe simplicity but it's just too plan
So perhaps it's books but I've read a few
And there's just too many for me to go through
So what's a girl to do?
Only 21 and feeling so blue
So what's a girl to do
Only 21 and feeling so blue
Well I thought I could win but I lost the race
I got too excited and fell on my face
Now I'm back but I'm not the same
I used to love sunshine but now I love rain
So I decided it was booze and I drank away
I enjoyed the view but I knew I couldn't stay
Then I decided it was money and I worked every day
But I lost all my friends along the way
So I decided it was drugs and I did a lot
They pumped my stomach and told me to stop
Then I decided it was sex and I learned the moves
But I ended up feeling cheap and abused
So what's a girl to do?
Only 21 and feeling so blue
So what's a girl to do?
Only 21 and feeling so blue
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But they all fell through
Well I guess I keep singing and searching for something
Cause it's all I know how to do
Yeah I guess I'll keep singing and searching for something
Cause it's all I know how to do
It's all I know how to do
It's all I know how to do

Hopelessly Optomistic
05:18
|
|||
|
Engrained in my soul like a knot in a tree
You don't know the half of what your love does to me
Burning like the sun, bound to explode
Nothing ever stays the same people just get old
But love can have me
Love can win
I just want to give in
Willing as a mule, clear as a fog
Nothing ever comes easy no, nothing at all
Surrender I say, perspectives can change
The world needn't be so bleak and gray
Walk along with me, tell me what you feel
Staying home and screaming is no way to heal
Yes love can have me
Love can win
I just want to give in
Heartbreaking hero fighting for peace
Isolation doesn't work it tears at your seams
Oh my patience, oh my strength
Never thought I'd see those slip away
But sorrow has brought so much clarity
My only wish is that he knows I'm still on his team
But love can have me
Love can win
I can't help but give in
Hopelessly optimistic, cursed with a pretty vision
If it kills me, if it kills me

Take You Down
03:21
|
|||
|
Don't cry on my shoulder when I reveal what you are
Don't ask forgiveness, you've gone too far
I can't bite my tongue, it's already thick with blood
And I'd love, I'd love to see you hang
I can see why you may think that I wouldn't say a peep
But you, you thought wrong
Call me stubborn, call me young
But I refuse to lose this one
I'm hungry for a fight
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
I've watched you for a time
And I've never seen such slime
Crawl through the cracks
Everyone's repulsed by what you do
But I'm the one that'll see this through
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
I'll take you by the wrist and lead you off the cliff
Where you burned all those bridges
Too bad, so sad
Did it always make you feel like a man
To crush my friends underneath your hand?
How dare you make them small
Just to make yourself feel tall
What a fool you were to try that shit on me
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
I'll take you down
How does it feel now?

Oh Honey
05:49
|

|
Oh Honey I'm lost
I'm lost all alone without reason
I had to flee all the demons from my past
And Honey I'm scared
I'm scared that I made the wrong choices
I'm trying to fight all the voices in my head
Cause they tell me that I'm nothing
That I'm scum beneath their heels
They say forget it, you're worthless
Just writhe in pain for all of your years
But all I need is you, dear
To tell me that they're wrong
Oh Honey I'm weak
I'm weak from searching for days
I'm fighting my way through this maze of my mind
And Honed I'm flogged
I'm flogged by all of the doubts
That our love will never amount to much more
I just need you to hold me and remind me what we have is dear
Now I may fight you and try to smite you just out of sheer fear
But I'll try and be brave
I'll take your hand in mine
And I'll bear myself to you for all to see
And maybe you'll cure me from this disease
And I know it's a lot to ask but Honey
Oh Honey, please

Hold Steady
04:52

Easy, easy little one
Look at all the beautiful things you've done
Calm your mind, everything will be fine
The world wont gain anything from your pain
Take your worries and throw them away
Because you might feel small but I can see your shine from miles and miles away
The storm will rock you just hold steady to your light let it guide you safely to shore
Safely to shore
It's not easy to go your own way
But sometimes that's the only path you can take
I think you'll find, others will be on your side
I think you'll find others will be on your side
Because you might feel small but I can see your shine from miles and miles away
The storm will rock you just hold steady to your light let it guide you safely to shore
Safely to shore
The sea is full of monsters
And the dark wave can take your hope away
But don't let them take your hope away
Because you might feel small but I can see your shine from miles and miles away
The storm will rock you just hold steady to your light let it guide you safely to shore
You might feel small but I can see your shine from miles and miles away
The storm will rock you just hold steady to your light let it guide you safely to shore
Safely to shore
And I know the tide is high and the light is growing dim
But you must find the strength from within
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
Hold steady
