Tell me off in a letter. Completely ignore me. Gettin' high off of saying. Why you don't adore me?. Baby, please. . I'm well versed. In how I might be cursed.
Let's make a new one Mama, what do you say?. I love you when you let me pick out the name. Sugar and butter and flour and mother.... . I think today we'll start with strawberry cream.
We met on a rainy evening in the summertime. Don't think I need to tell you more. I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine. Still I got nothing to show for it..
Head under water. And they tell me. to breathe easy for a while. . The breathing gets harder,. even I know that. Made room for me. . but it's too soon to see.
Okay, I can see it now it's all the same thing. Just different wrapping around it. No need to soften your words, they're still gonna hurt. So don't pull punches.
I don't care if the house is packed. Or the strings of light are broken. I don't care if the gifts are wrapped. Or there's nothing here to open. . Love is not a toy.
I wish I were pretty. I wish I were brave. If I owned this city. Then I'd make it behave. . And if I were fearless. Then I'd speak my truth. And the world would hear this.
He was a good man he had a good heart with a good soul. A good thing we had so I thought but I was wrong. He let me down by never letting on. He was as good as gone..
All the colors. Of the rainbow. Hidden 'neath my skin. . Hearts have colors. Don't we all know?. Red runs through our veins. . Feel the fire burning up.
Oh (oh oh oh). Oh (oh oh oh). Oh (oh oh oh). Oh (oh oh oh). . Keep drinkin' coffee. Stare me down across the table. While I look outside. . So many things I'd say if only I were able.
Waiting for the bus stop. Waiting for the concrete black top to settle down. Long enough for me to get off and get a little ground. I'm ready for the sea change.
I've been winding. Down the same road for days. I've seen the coastline. Going both ways. Some days are perfect. And some simply could not get worse. Some days it's all worth it.
Oh. . What if I wanna be the one who. Never looks like anybody?. What if I wanna be the one who. Goes her own way?. . Would you still believe in someone like me?.
Let the bough break, let it come down crashing. Let the sun fade out to a dark sky. I can't say I'd even notice it was absent. Cause I could live by the light in your eyes.
Go ahead. Throw your rocks at me. From your little glass house. And then take off running. You're no better than me. We've both made mistakes intentionally.
I miss the days my mind would just rest quiet. My imagination hadn't turned on me yet. I used to let my words wax poetic. But it melted a puddle at my feet now.
I never meant to be the one to let you down. If anything, I thought I saw myself going first. I didn't know how to stick around. How to see anybody but me be getting hurt.
When are you gonna come down?. When are you going to land?. I should have stayed on the farm. I should have listened to my old man. You know you can't hold me forever.
Something always brings me back to you. It never takes too long. No matter what I say or do. I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone. . You hold me without touch.
Goodbye. Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn't I?. Laying down a law that I live by. Well, maybe next time. . I've got a thick tongue. Brimming with the words that go unsung.
