A Good Story
03:02
|

I’ve been awake all morning
It’s raining, it’s pouring
Old man, you’re snoring
You’re a nursery rhyme
A sweet lullaby, a good story
But I wouldn’t’ wake you up
Much as I’m cravin’ that human touch
And I never say this stuff
But you’re a sweet dream of mine
At the scene of the crime, I’m not sorry
I’m not sorry
It’s a good story
I’ve been on fire all evening
I’m hooked on the sound of your breathing
The smoke in your lungs don’t need a reason
But you’re my kind of wine
A dry glass of white
A tall drink of water
Lookin’ so fine
Nursin’ your wine like all we got is time in this story
I’m not sorry- I love a good story
Been trainin’ my dragons and chasin’ my demons
Playing with angels, fighting for freedom
Tasting the danger, lovin’ the feeling
I guess it’s a sign of times
That I’m going in blind

Give Me a Chance
03:46
|

You are red, red wine
I’ve been drinking white
And if I could bottle the time
I would drink it all night
‘Cause you look at me with something in your eyes
It’s a comfortable truth that I don’t recognize
You look at me with something in your eyes
Please, I’ve never loved like this
Give me a chance, yeah
I never loved like this
Hold my hand
You are just in time
You’ve been on my mind
And if there were a name for this high
I would scream it all night
‘Cause I’ve always wondered if I could fly
But I can’t risk the fall if it’s not worth the climb
I’ve always wondered if I could fly
You look at me with something in your eyes
It’s a comfortable truth that I don’t recognize
You look at me at something in your eyes
I’ve always wondered if I could fly
But I can’t risk the fall if it’s not worth the climb
I’ve always wondered if I could fly
You are red, red wine
I’ve been drinking white
If I could bottle the time
I would drink it all night

Storm
03:52
|

All these words of wisdom pouring in
I’ve been sheltered safe and warm
I’m afraid you’re a fair weather friend, my love
And I’ve been asking for a storm
Honey, you loved me
Like it was goin’ out of style (honey, honey)
But honey, you can’t trust me
Could you forgive this reckless child (honey, honey)
Throw me in the ocean
Take me out on the tide
I wanna fight for something
I wanna fight for my life
I wanna be someone
I wanna be terrified
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel alive
Alive
I’m afraid you’re a fair weather friend, my love
And I’ve been asking for a storm
Honey, you loved me like it was growing on the trees (honey)
But honey, you can’t trust me, it’s blowing in the trees (honey)
So take me to the country
Take me into the wild
Oh, get me lost in the woods
I wanna run for my life
I wanna be someone
I wanna be terrified
I wanna feel something
I wanna feel alive

Sand
03:00
|

I guess I shouldn’t blame it all on you
It takes two to break through
I guess I had to learn somehow
The missing pieces can’t be found inside of you
I guess I shouldn’t ask
If I’m so afraid to know
I’m drawing circles on a map
Round all the places I could go
I’m drawing circles on a map
I guess you shouldn’t ask if you don’t want to know
I’m writing your name in the sand
On all the beaches where I go
I’m writing your name in the sand
I guess I shouldn’t ask
‘Cause I don’t need to know
I’m running barefoot on the sand
You’re standing in the snow
I’m running barefoot on the sand
I guess I should speak now
Or forever hold my piece
I guess I should leave now
Before the wind catches me
I guess I should reach out
Before the rain comes down on me
I think I am free now
I think I am free now
I think I am free now
I think I am free now

Calm in a Crisis
03:20
|

You’re calm in a crisis, you go where the fire is
It’s all about timing wiith thunder and lighting
Praying on a shooting star, breaking into my car
I pray you stay just who you are
And you are good for some feeing, but feelings are fleeting
So as words lose their meaning, remember this evening
You’re calm in a crisis, I’m rolling the dice and
It’s all about timing when committing a crime
Praying on a shooting star, breaking into my car
I pray you stay just who you are
And you are good for a weekend, but weekends are fleeting
So as time loses meaning, remember this season
Does my absence make your heart grow fonder
Should I stay away a little bit longer
Can we fight this fire with water
Burn bridges rebuild them stronger

Drawn to You
03:31
|

I was drawn to you
I am flawed like you
You have to chase after my train of thought
You have to take me with a grain of salt
And I know you won’t be mine, yeah
But can’t blame a girl for trying
Can’t blame a girl for trying
Feels so good when the sun is shining
But can’t blame those rainy skies, yeah
Can’t blame those rainy skies, yeah
Don’t say that it’s not in the cards
You’ve been hiding them up your sleeve
All evening
Don’t say it isn’t written in the stars
I’ve been reading your heart
All evening
You were drawn to me
You are strong like me
Do I mistake you for the hope that I’ve found?
I tried to chase you but I’m slowing down
We’re so good at denying
So don’t shame a girl for crying
Don’t shame a girl for crying
Feels so good when the sun is shining
Don’t forget that silver lining
That silver lining
Don’t say that it’s not in the cards
You’ve been hiding them up your sleeve

Written in the Stars
02:55

I went out for a walk on a cold winter night
I did not see Saturn return, but the moon sure did look fine
No jupiter either, but Venus and Mars were bright
Been reading what’s written in the stars for quite some time
I don’t trust my memory, I don’t trust my mind
I don’t trust my tongue to speak the right words after all this wine
Wouldn’t trust a feeling, couldn’t trust this heart of mine
Been trying not to say “I love you” for quite some time
Someday, baby, you’ll leave me, leave me lonely and cryin’
It won’t matter how hard that I try, it’s only a matter of time
‘Cause if you don’t then I’ll leave you at the scene of the crime
Been daring you to break my heart for quite some time
I went out for a walk on a cold winter day
Mercury’s retrograde again and I don’t know what to say
Must be this moon in Pisces, I can’t rationalize
Been praying you might send me a sign for quite some time
Must be this moon in Pisces, I can’t rationalize
Been praying you might send me a sign for quite some time

Tree Story
03:04
|

You can’t build a house with a cactus tree
You can’t build a house with me
I’m hollow in the middle, thick skinned, a little brittle
More than I wanted to be
You saddle up and say you wanna settle down among the trees
But I will leave you wondering
You tie a tight rope on those high hopes
You find yourself climbing
Though I will leave you by the spring
You can’t build a house from this evergreen
This cedar means too much to me
Don’t cut me down, I won’t stick around
I am not yours to keep
You sail in from the city, say you’ll settle down with me, among the trees
But I will leave you on your knees
That silver lining you just can’t stop seeing
Has lost some meaning for me
You can’t build a house from this evergreen
My freedom means too much to me
Don’t let me fall, let me stand tall
Be all that I want to be
I am not yours to keep
