The Earth Is Much Like You and Me OCT 2014
01. Star Sailor
Wish I was a sailor travel the skies see all the stars on my way to the moon I’m just waiting waiting for something it’s passed me by I just need to jump right out there you’ve never heard me cry you’ve never heard me cry And someday I’ll write a song that’s filled with everything and all the things I feel and have ever wanted to be I’ve got a mystery building up inside of me it’s banging at my head and pouring from my eyes It makes me shiver I’m so afraid Wish I was a blue bird travel the skies be on my own and not need to know why .03 California All it takes is a right and a left and a right again but this lonely valley has a way of keeping us trapped in But we'll fight our way through the break of day and we won't lose sight till we reach the light our way Our way All it takes is the will to fight and get up again when you're knocked down and beaten in Cause I am me and you are you and there's not a damn thing that you can do to keep me here And it's a cruel cruel life when your happiness is taken away But I'm going out to find it again I was a shaken wayward daughter just looking for some sun So I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run To California And I see a light At the top of the mountain But it's just out of reach And it's a cruel cruel life when your happiness is taken away But I'm going out to find it again I was a shaken wayward daughter just looking for some sun So I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run To California 05. Lightning Take to the forest I will go with you What's here before us is all bright and new Take to the forest I will stand by you Nothing between us it's just me and you But your fire is different than all the rest It started as embers now it has the forest This mascarade of hungry red Set a blaze above our heads Lightning strikes the earth from far What we want is always miles from Where we are Now don't get lost in the smoke I love you too much to let you go Lightning strikes the earth from far What we want is always miles from Where we are 07. Bar Graphs Memories are fading every time the day is new but I haven't forgotten you didn't forget you now when the moon starts rising and the sun goes down I could never forget you now 'cause you mean so much more to me now When the sea is rising and the tides are low you always know you always know but I'm drifting away now half lost half found trying to fight off the ground but my heart's beating my heart's beating too loud Keep your head up darling when you keep your head up in the dark you can see the stars ohhh When the wolves start howling you'll run right into their arms yeah you'll run right to their arms Building lights are bar graphs measuring the sky those bright city lights that bright skyline but they're heavy stranded strung on the ground they're weighted down they're weighted down Keep your head up darling when you keep your head up in the dark you can see the stars When the wolves start howling you'll run right into their arms yeah you'll run right to their arms We'll go running we'll go running let's go running with the wolves Keep your head up darling when you keep your head up in the dark you can see the stars When the wolves start howling you'll run right into their arms yeah you'll run right to their arms 09. Siren Song There’s a crooked little shadow dangling from these feet trying to find a place where you and I can meet It’s trembling and it’s nervous cause it knows it’s had it’s chance went out into the night and froze to death and never made it’s way back home again Dropped a pebble into a river waves came up and knocked me over and layers of rock melt into water at the bottom of the earth where I will soon slumber There will be somebody out there much kinder than me and when you ask her where do you want to be and when you ask her oh what do you believe she’ll be the one for you not me Dropped a pebble into a river waves came up and knocked me over layers of rock melt into water at the bottom of the earth where I will soon slumber Wish this song could make you love me but I’m no siren and you’re not drawn to the sea Dropped a pebble into a river waves came up and knocked me over layers of rock melt into water at the bottom of the earth where I will soon slumber Wish this song could make you love me But I’m no siren and you’re now drawn to the sea 11. Like a Loon The ocean is salty just like tears green like your eyes and full of fear the tides are alive just like my heart pulling in and out and keeping us apart The waves won't let me get to where I need to be for they are much stronger than me I wish I was a loon so I could laugh all day glide above the water and live in my own way and swim along the moonlit path that follows me to shore lead me through the night straight to where you are But I'm just me and I'm lost out at sea The waves won't let me get to where I need to be for they are much stranger than me for they are much stronger than I'll ever be for they are much stronger than me |
02. Valley Take Me Away
Ice on the ground wrapping up the trees freezing pine sap so cold and your lonely heart of dusty gold But the sky is so warm orange and pink and rippling blue its hard for me too I’m just trying to be somebody too And you’ll find I know the way And you’ll find I know the way Cause we are just the same, you and me in the way we breathe What a beautiful day when blood of the apples flood this valley so we can float away but the ground gets colder every day and the wind is blowing my breath away So come on valley, come come on and take me away And you’ll find I know the way And you’ll find I know the way Cause we are just the same, you and me in the way we breathe And you’ll never feel the same way again And I am so wounded by time so come on valley, come come on and take me away cause we are just the same you and me in the way we breathe 04. Cigarettes and Stars Freeze frame mind, this happens every time I’m not that girl at your house the other night the other part of me is fine Take a breath I’m having trouble with mine I’m not so young, I’m not so kind 'Cause we are tired of sleeping, seeing through the scars the ghost of nothing but cigarettes and stars and brake lights on cars 'Cause all we want is somebody to help us through the day someone to hold us, make us feel okay make the scratches fade Freeze frame mind, this happens every time what do you do when you’re hiding from the sky somewhere near by one more word, just say it I’ll go these walls will shield me from nothing but snow out the fire escape I’ll go 'Cause we are tired of sleeping, seeing through the scars the ghost of nothing but cigarettes and stars and brake lights on cars 'Cause all we want is somebody to help us through the day someone to hold us, make us feel okay make the scratches fade 06. Somewhere Oh take me somewhere under water so every time I cry you can’t see me tears Or take me somewhere in the sky so every time I laugh it echoes through the air Cause I think too much about when we would draw on maps and plan the places we want to go and then I think about you But I hope if this is a cloud that the birds will catch me before I hit the ground before I hit the ground Oh take me somewhere where the only thing I could fall in love with is a song Cause sometimes I just think that I want to be alone and walk all on my own and then I think about you But I hope if this is the sea that the tide will save me before it drowns me before it drowns me Turn the music up so its all around me like I’m swimming in the deep blue sea and all the waves are singing to me But I hope if this is a cloud that the birds will catch me before I hit the ground But I hope if this is the sea that the tide will save me before it drowns me 08. I Can Barely Breathe I am trying to find the places deep in the woods that we once explored Cause the air’s been burnt out that we once shared and I wonder if you miss me anymore And all I want is for my mind to be free But somehow you make it rain on me And it pulls me down And if you tie weights to your feet and jump into the endless sea you will find my dreams for this is where I sleep and I’m so alone Winter has a way of building up walls and you have a way of hiding too long I have learned I am not so strong I am not so loud but maybe I can reach you with a song What happens now when I cross your mind do you think you’ll find someone to leave me behind So just blow me away And if you tie weights to your feet and jump into the endless sea you will find me dreams for this is where I sleep And I’m so alone And I know you never meant to hurt me but darling I can barely breathe 10. The Earth Is Much Like You and Me We don’t go to the sky cause there’s no surface We don’t go underground cause theres too much So we’ll never be happy So we’ll never be at peace The earth is much like you and me there's a burning fire you can’t see deep on the inside Even in the saddest places where pavement covers the ground and scars cover our skin Weeds still peek through the cracks growing from the light the light within If we spread our love from the mountain tops sing our lives through the wind in the trees There will be no earth no sky we will be one When the fire breaks through and the surface bursts There will be no earth no sky we will be one 12. Every Sea Roots grow deeper than leaves grow high but you'll never know what's inside till you open your heart wide And I don't hide behind my shame or try to cover up the pain that's eaten me for so long And I am strong and I am free and there is nothing I can't be if you'd let me go and set me wild Cause I was born like a bird with wings to fly Born with a soul that has to live before it dies And how will I ever know if I never try I wont be judged and I haven't sinned for I am living the life I was given for myself and for all the world And I learn a lot from my mistakes and I will do whatever it takes to become better from them I am me and you are you and there is nothing I wont do to change the world and live my dreams Cause I was born like a bird with wings to fly Born with a soul that has to live before it dies And how will I ever know if I never try So let me go now break the chains I want to see the western plains the mountains and every sea I used to think I'd wait forever in summer and cold weather till the stars died and new ones were born But the day has come to me my friend to pack my bags and see the end of the life that I have had here And who are you to say you have to live this way when it's a great big world out there |

Red Dawn
Red dawn rising up she'll take everything from me red dawn rising up she'll take my ship but won't take me rising up she'll take something but she never will take me never will take me Red dawn in the morning will you toss me on the sea red dawn in the morning will you bring me to my knees will you toss me under will you bring me to my knees bring me to my knees Bar Graphs
Memories are fading every time the day is new but I haven't forgotten you didn't forget you now when the moon starts rising and the sun goes down I could never forget you now 'cause you mean so much more to me now When the sea is rising and the tides are low you always know you always know but I'm drifting away now half lost half found trying to fight off the ground but my heart's beating my heart's beating too loud Keep your head up darling when you keep your head up in the dark you can see the stars When the wolves start howling you'll run right into their arms yeah you'll run right to their arms Building lights are bar graphs measuring the sky those bright city lights that bright skyline but they're heavy stranded strung on the ground they're weighted down they're weighted down Keep your head up darling when you keep your head up in the dark you can see the stars When the wolves start howling you'll run right into their arms yeah you'll run right to their arms We'll go running we'll go running let's go running with the wolves Keep your head up darling when you keep your head up in the dark you can see the stars When the wolves start howling you'll run right into their arms yeah you'll run right to their arms Nameless Song
If I were to write your name a thousand times and sing it plain it wouldn't change my past mistakes so now I sing and say no names If I were to stand up tall and let you swing to break my walls there still would be no nameless song that i could write to break my fall Now I'm waiting for something that can never be a thousand songs a thousand days go by slowly I am waiting for you to wander by and see that all these songs with no names are for you and me Let's write our names and sing them plain our walls will break and we will change let's write our names and sing them plain but with no names everything will stay the same |
Come and Go
I don't want to be someone else so why's it so hard to see myself and in my crowded mind all I see is you and all the space around your face is what I want to forget And one of these days I'll kiss you goodbye and we will forget the smallest moments we had together and one of these days the world will forget me but go ahead I won't show you that I mind I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't cried that night and I like who I am right now even though there's sadness inside and it comes and it goes and we'll grow and grow But I love you know and I don't want to leave you but my mind is up on stilts and so far away But I'll love and I'll cry and become who I am inside and maybe that's just part of me and not something to hide and I'll come and I'll go and I'll grow and grow Paths
Can you feel me here I'm the salty air we are the sea drifting apart when you walk out your door souls left wandering through the night smoked out through burning minds Don't let those dreams fall out of your crippling mind victorious battles in your eyes you have fallen in to the oceans deep and sinking further into it's depths to sleep As sure as the tides will change the rains will come and go again and as far and wide as the salty spray our paths will come to cross again The gulls sang their call flew out past it all into the night out of sight but you're still stranded there tossed on the ocean and all you have of land is sky and sand As sure as the tides will change the rains will come and go again and as far and wide as the salty spray our paths will come to cross again |
