White Skies 04:33
I drew a maze inside my sentiment Confused myself and all those hearing it But I ran the message to the ends of the Earth It was the newest place I’d ever been A stranger’s eyes that I had never seen The point was made without me making it first Can we survive the cold alone And rest our heads beside a weary phone When the springtime that’s coming feels like a year in reverse? Is the winter ever going to end To let me see your summer-colored skin That you’ve worn with grace since the day of your birth? I could never run, I could never run fast enough It’s in my bones, the nature of the beast To hold alone and never seem complete The world can sit and never stay the same You, of all, should know I can never change I’ve wrestled with the days, love I don’t want to wait, love I want to dream, don’t want to wake up I don’t want to wake up Can I get you in my face, love? Would you put me in a state, love, To never leave without a trace of Something when I wake up? There’s something in the air, love I can’t help, but stare, love I want to be, I want to stop the run I just want to stop the run

It’s better now, I can stay up late With the image of a woman in the best way Tequila breath and spotted eyes I was yours before you asked me out for drinks that night Happiness is hidden in a box inside a box Where dreams that we were given slowly drew themselves in chalk When the rope became unraveled, it was there I saw you stay Where we were in love and pain You’re sleeping in, I lie awake While the universe reminds me of a better place I’m running fast, I’m on your heels I’m driving east just to see how it feels Happiness is hidden in a box inside a box Where dreams that we were given slowly drew themselves in chalk When the rope became unraveled, it was there I saw you stay Where we were in love and pain Give me back all my sleep I do not feel way It’s not yours for the keeps But you could never tell Come lay at my side Give me words to say You are in my eyes Like I am in your way

Dawning 02:38
Poetry unfolding Eloquent in style It was buried in her dress It was right behind her eyes I was standing as a mess She was standing as a light And turned simply to ask me One final time Are we golden? Are we golden here?
4.
I can hear you through the moonlight My night heron Underneath a burning porchlight I saw you coming I know the difference in your footsteps Like when you’re walking on a cloud As if the rain falls around you And leaves a shadow on the ground I see a silhouette in darkness That comes and goes when it wants I tell myself this is harmless And just a ghost that likes to haunt In the best case, who is it I’m lying to? I try to tell myself I don’t need a taste of you Making sense of a thing so black and white Some kind of witchcraft put me underneath a spell I’ve got a secret and a mouth that would never tell Where you go when you’re stepping out at night These dreams don’t tell the half of it You were a conduit for breaking the rules My eyes have now become the instrument They are the instrument to see how to lose In the best case, who is it I’m lying to? I try to tell myself I don’t need a taste of you Making sense of a thing so black and white Some kind of witchcraft put me underneath a spell I’ve got a secret and a mouth that would never tell Where you go when you’re stepping out at night

Orion's Belt 04:18
We all want a name But I climbed a mountain to get closer to the rain Painted the sky until it all looked the same Thinking that I did it for you But I know now I made my bed just to lay on the ground I said your name just to hear how it sounds Bouncing around my empty room But when desire hits my lips, I say too much I thought I wanted the world, but it wasn’t enough Then you change with a secret to tell How could you change when I knew you so well? I collected the stars Put em in a place, but then I took it too far If Orion has a belt, maybe I’ve got the bar Where the lighting always seems too low If I cash in I’ll be in debt more than I’ll be in the win So, what was it like when my journey began And I didn’t even know where to go? If I change my mind, would it be too late? Or have I sold my soul to the devil for a hall of fame? When desire hits my lips, I say too much But I want the words, I want the sound, and I want the touch Then you change with a secret to tell How could you change when I knew you so well? I knew you so damn well

Took every penny made, that you saved Put it all in a dress You wore it like a badge of honor And a way to confess If you want to get me on the inside You gotta go through the mess I told you I’d be waiting baited For you to give me the test But I’ve been here before And waited too long You’re walking through the world Like the wind at your back is on fire And the smile that you wear on your face Is like a gun for hire You said make no mistake Here I’m just a girl on a wire And I’ve been here too long So, you’re standing at the edge looking down Hoping you’ll get higher
7.
I could see the water on my street Climbing up above both of my knees The weather’s been bad, but I think I’m gonna stick around We can make some mistakes and see how it all plays out You left a note, put it on my front door It said the words, same words I’d always heard before You’re praising that it’s summer, you hate that you miss the fall You in love with a thing, a season you never knew at all But we all want to be in the sun Dancing like we’re never gonna get burned once When reality hits, we’re jumping the gun too soon You want to walk on the clouds But you’re holding everything that keeps dragging you down If you want to see the sky don’t build your house with a roof You’re praising that it’s summer, you hate that you miss the fall You in love with a thing, a season you never knew at all Cos we all want to be in the sun Dancing like we’re never gonna get burned once When reality hits, we’re jumping the gun too soon You want to walk on the clouds But you’re holding everything that keeps dragging you down If you want to see the sky don’t build your house with a roof

Wishing Well 03:06
Are you ever gonna settle down? Turn a house into a home? Give up on the cigarettes? Try to make it on your own? You gave it everything you got To get played on local radio You’re going on at ten o’clock And hoping for a better show They all say show me what you’re made of You don’t impress me just a little bit Give me all your rock n roll Just enough that I forget Is there something you should tell yourself? A stone you should’ve left unturned? Did you listen for the closing bell? Or a lesson that you never learned? Because they said show me what you’re made of Wrap it up and walk away Give me everything you’ve got Tell me what you need to say Are you ever gonna settle down? Another dime in the wishing well Keep your head up in the clouds And always keep it to yourself
9.
Open Highway 02:42
Free your spirit on this open highway Much like doors you’re walking out This, the one-way ticket out to nowhere Filled with what you’ve dreamed about Take your life and all your ways of living Throw the whole mess to the ground This, the one-chance game you’ve been given And you can hardly make a sound So, free your spirit on this open highway Much like doors you’re walking out
10.
Born Lucky 02:21
I was born lucky enough to know Sometimes you never win Sometimes you can’t let go Of something you can’t live with The years will pass The shadows cast Will cover every wall We made the peace And said the words But never said them all But I was born lucky I could see color in the clouds And promise in the rain Faith inside of doubt And pleasure in the pain The days were trapped As time was passed Rediscovered in the fall The dust settled The years of fights I never could recall But I was born lucky
