Frail

Someday I’ll be old and frail
And I’ll forget how to spell my name
But I’ll recall the beauty
I saw on all those winter days
One day a song I used to sing
Will bring me back to everything
And when I can’t breathe the inside air
I pray that you’ll bring me to the sea
Oh when I grow old and frail
I hope to be where you’ll be
Oh when I grow old and frail
I hope to be where you’ll be

Please Don't Tell Me
04:20

I’ve been getting along with myself so well
Learning how love would talk and walk and smell
I’ve been looking and seeing and hearing lots
I’ve been learning what you rly meant by love
I’ve been slowing way down so things aren’t blurry
Thinking about how time moves at the same old speed
I’ve been wondering and dreaming, forgetting lots
Remembering sadly the things I have been taught
Why did I sit down beside you
Our arms touched, and we didn’t move
You seem to always be waiting
You start to smile when you hear me laughing
You are so distracting
I wake up tired from dreaming
Love is so very distracting
I think you’re so much like the rest of them
I wonder if you fell, like they always did
One time could I be the one completely enamoured
Oh could I be the one to ask all the questions
Please don’t tell me I’m pretty and you love me
And please don’t kiss me and then tell me you need me
I think that you should just be who you want to be
I don’t know how to be bound up with you, but free
I don't know how to be bound up with you but free
I don't know how to be
I don't know how

Telling The Truth
05:23

I’ve got a friend who says telling the truth makes things easier
I’ve got a friend who says telling the truth makes things easier
Have you seen the way I stand beside you
Like the trees by the ocean
All bent by the wind
And it takes a flood for us to know
That we're slowly sinking
And this is an emergency
I think we're maybe drowning
But I'm afraid to tell you
Cause I don't want things changing
I think I'm the most serious woman to call herself a silly girl
I think I'm the most serious woman to call herself a silly girl
I'm waiting for another word
The two brown hens you keep in your yard
make me feel like I’m home again
My neighbors out on his front porch
listening to your kind of music
That woman’s voice is singing of summer
Reminding me that I’m slowly sinking
And this is an emergency
I think we're maybe drowning
But I'm afraid to tell you
Cause I don't want things changing
And this is an emergency
I think we're maybe drowning
But I'm afraid to tell you
Cause I don't want things changing
I wanna leave my lights on
I wanna drive my car home
I wanna buy some more clothes
I wanna take a long trip
I wanna laugh at your jokes
I wanna see where you go
I wanna take things real slow
I wanna take the long road
Don’t say what you think I want to hear
Don’t say what you think I want to hear
Tell me what you want
I'll tell you
I wanna leave my lights on
I wanna drive my car home
I wanna buy some more clothes
I wanna take a long trip
But we’ll all be underwater someday
I’ll be underwater someday

Leaf In A River
04:41

I always liked how you’d kneel down to tie your shoes up
I’d stand and look at your hair
But I’d get out of there fast, I’d slip my boots on
I never gave you time to stare
I liked the way you’d feel smaller for a second
And I’d stand in silence
Maybe I’ll see you drive by in your car
Maybe you’ll see me walking
I don’t want you knowing anything I'm thinking
I'm just quietly hoping
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I’m not a leaf in a river
I know what I’m here for
I know what I’m here for
I’m not a leaf in a river
I’m a sailboat in a storm
I won’t float along
My brothers always would leave the kitchen table
Before saying thank you
They couldn't see what they had
I don't know when it'll be but I say see you
You say nothing again
I wonder how far I can walk before I tire
I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry
I’m not a leaf in a river
I know what I’m here for
I know what I’m here for
I’m not a leaf in a river
I’m a sailboat in a storm
I won’t float along
Ooh I know what I'm here for
Ooh I'm a sailboat in a storm
Oh I know what I'm here for
Oh I'll sail along in the storm
I know where I’m heading
But I don’t want to wait in line
Unless you’ll be there too
Could I put my hand around your arm
I guess I missed you coming off the highway
You won’t see me and I won’t leave you wondering
I’m not a leaf in a river
I know what I’m here for
I know what I’m here for
I’m not a leaf in a river
I’m a sailboat in a storm
I won’t float along
We had a different kind of worship
You were a different kind of person

I'm sorry to my spider plant
I left you home alone again
And when I returned you were just a skeleton
And your leaves are thin and straggly
Like my hair I keep uncombed
And your soil is begging to feel wet and cold
I left you all alone
I'm sorry to the books that I piled by my bed
I would've loved to read your words
But I just left again
And when I returned the dust covered your skin
I'm sorry to my old guitar
I haven't touched you for a while
I've been waiting for it all to come back easily
My fingers once were tough and strong
But now my body's weak
I don't dare touch your strings
I'm sorry to the food that I left in my fridge
I waited for a special day and it never came
I saved you for a special day but it never came
I just left again
I left you all alone

Everywhere I Go
05:00

Everywhere I go you remember me
I’ll pretend that I’m the same so you don’t see how I’m changing
My voice gets lost and I forget what I mean
I’ll wait for space to speak and you don’t give me anything
Everytime I grow I start ripping at my seams
I don’t remember what I learn and I’ll put new wine in new skins
The forest is thick its roots grow right over me
All the saplings die and the great oaks live
I look up and see you waiting there for me
How’d you get so far ahead, I’m running out of steam
You don’t know living like this life knows me
It gets sweeter and sweeter when you start to sing
A woman told me I was a sure sign of spring
I was skipping down the street
You hold my hand and say everything’s beauty
If you just have eyes to see
Everywhere I go their eyes are staring at me
I just need some room to breathe and I don’t
want you to see
I start to run but I hear you calling after me
You just won’t let me leave, you won’t let me leave
You look at me and say don’t change anything
There’s no space for me you say I’m quiet and sweet
You don’t know this life like this life knows me
Sometimes just hoping will beat the real thing
A woman told me I was a sure sign of spring
I was skipping down the street
You hold my hand and say everything’s beauty
If you just have eyes to see
I love writing love songs
And I love holding fingers
I don’t mind paying
Foods just made for sharing
A woman told me I was a sure sign of spring
I was skipping down the street
You hold my hand and say everything’s beauty
If you just have eyes to see
You don’t know but your words mean
everything
Be careful what you sing be careful what you
Sing
Be careful what u sing be careful what u sing

All My Treasure
05:40
|

I don't know anything that'll happen
There's no end like there is in that movie
And I think it's so silly to call each other baby
But I love how it makes me feel like I'm a part of something
I just want someone who’ll love the things I love and love me too
So show me where to set my eyes
show me what the game is, and tell me what’s the prize
The sparrows all find food
And the flowers look so beautiful
And money isn't really real
And I don't need anything in this world
I’ve got all my treasure I don’t need anymore
I’ve never found happiness when I’ve looked
But I asked you and you gave me everything
How do I forget so fast,
that nothing ever really lasts
But you always finish everything you start
When I look at you I see I’m just a blade of grass
I just want someone who can see me and the future and the past
So show me where to set my eyes
show me what the game is, and tell me what’s the prize
The sparrows all find food
And the flowers look so beautiful
And money isn't really real
And I don't need anything in this world
I’ve got all my treasure I don’t need anymore
I can't fix cars
I can't fix lies
I can't fix hunger or pain
I can't fix the sky when it rains
I can't understand the reasons why the earth gets warmer every day
But with you I know everything is ok
Some things are so easy to remember
Like the feeling of his hands
Like the way the trumpet sounds
Some things I'll always forget
Like the time it takes to feel ok
When you make a mistake
When you make a mess
So show me where to set my eyes
show me what the game is, and tell me what’s the prize
The sparrows all find food
And the flowers look so beautiful
And money isn't really real
And I don't need anything in this world
I’ve got all my treasure I don’t need anymore
