Anywhere But Here

Anywhere but here it could be summer,
There could be a brighter warmer sun
Anywhere but here the grass could be greener
The air might taste sweeter in my lungs
Cause all there is is dust and smoke
Rising from the earth I’ve sown
It’s time to give it up and go
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here,
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here the clouds might grow heavy
And rain might just free me of this thirst
Anywhere but here the ground might be forgiving
And something might start living in this dirt
Cause all there is is dust and smoke
Choking all I’ve tried to grow and
It’s time to give it up and go
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Where the skies are clear, anywhere but here
Anywhere but here I might just find my worth in brand new earth that
Sacred ground might come and save me now
Anywhere but here I might just find a light to guide me right
I’m going down, going down
But anywhere but here, it could be summer
And I might not wonder where you’ve gone
Anywhere but here, with nothing to remind me
I might just finally move on
It’s time to give it up and go

Love Me Most
03:14

You tend to look right through me as you would a ghost
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
Here I am on center stage, willing to throw my heart away
But you don’t want me anyway, I guess I’ll go
See I’ve been trying for sometime to be the first thing on your mind
I’ve done my best but still I find I don’t come close
You tend to look right through me as you would a ghost
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
Touch my hand and feel my skin, the flesh and bones I’ve always been
Why can’t you see the heart within is real, is raw, is yours
You’re what I’m waiting for and yet you always tend to
Look right through me as you would a ghost
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
But you won’t, but you won’t
You tend to look right through me as you would a ghost
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most
I want you to love me most, I want you to love me most

Oak-A-Lea

Oh the wind and the water so mild
Pull me to your shores
And I first fell for you as a child
Now I find I’m falling once more
The loons are calling, their song so sweet
Their voices fill this place
And I might let them lull me to sleep
Feel the sand’s warm embrace
And the water is so inviting
And this place might be leading me on
Maybe I could slip right in
Feel the water kiss my skin
Maybe I could let my worries float to see
Maybe I would hold my breath
Feel in this weightlessness
That I am who I used to be

How Many Miles
03:27

How many miles apart do we stand?
How many oceans, how many acres of dry land?
How many hours in a day do you spend
Thinking of me
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
How many loves have you had since?
How many kisses have touched your lips?
And do you find that when they leave
Your mind comes wandering to me
I wish I knew, I wish I knew
A lifetime of shooting stars
My wishes are always the same
Even when I’m old and gray
I’ll tell each one your name
How many years have passed since we spoke?
How many more will pass before you know?
How many nights I’ve lain awake praying to
Dream of your face
I wish you knew, I wish you knew
A lifetime of shooting stars
My wishes are always the same
Even when I’m old and gray
I’ll tell each one your name
In every wishing well
I’ll tell this sad, sad tune
Even when I’m old and gray I’d gladly waste
Every last wish on you
I wonder what you’re doing
I’m imagining your hands are holding mine
And it would all be worth it
If you looked into my eyes, into my eyes
A lifetime of shooting stars
My wishes are always the same
Even when I’m old and gray
I’ll tell each one your name
In every wishing well
I’ll tell this sad, sad tune
Even when I’m old and gray I’d gladly waste
Every last wish on you

The Storm
03:06
|

The storm came through on a Wednesday night
To lick my city clean
I was woken by flashes of light
And a thunder deafening
I lay awake to hear the rain as it pounded on the roof
I heard you
A light shone underneath the door
From the den across the hall
I stood silent on carpeted floor
And pressed my ear against the wall
I heard the strains of a theme song playing from the 1970’s
I didn’t know you were lonely
I didn’t know you were sad
All the things nobody told me
I found out at four AM
Stretching, pulling upwards before my time
Questions without answers and I
The storm came through on a Wednesday night
To lick my city clean
I stayed up with the TV’s dull light
To keep you company
And no one knows cause you don’t show it
But at twelve years old I see
You’re lonely, and you’re sad
And no one would have told me
If it weren’t for four AM
It’s a sad and bitter story
That I found out at four AM

Brand New
02:45

Well here comes young love, shiny and new
And I wish I could tell you but I don’t know how to
So I’ll just sit tight and watch the sun go down
Well you’ve got a smile and I’ve got a secret
The night’s running wild, air thick with excitement
The show’s going to start in a moment or two
Light up the sky with fireworks and
I’ll sit tight and believe in you
Light up the sky with fireworks
Tonight I’ll find myself brand new
Well I can’t believe there was ever a time
When I didn’t know you, when you were not mine
Cause your hand fits my hand and right here is where I should be
Out on this hill the grass cooling with dew
I’ll push back my worries I’ll focus on you
And start burning this night into my memory
Light up the sky with fireworks and
I’ll sit tight and believe in you
Light up the sky with fireworks
Tonight I’ll find myself brand new
And all of the questions and all of the maybe’s
Are pushed to the side, tonight is for dancing
And I can believe that you won’t be leaving
Cause tonight is the night that I start believing
Light up the sky with fireworks and
I’ll sit tight and believe in you
Light up the sky with fireworks
Tonight I’ll find myself brand new
