If blankets are blessings That hold back the sea Then stay close and tell me Wherever you will be Until the clouds run and hide And cower in fear At the brightest beginnings That we've both held so dear And nothing so precious Could ever pull me away From the safety and sweetness And all that you say When you imagine the future Yet more precious still Are the hopes sleeping softly On your windowsill Until the clouds run and hide And cower in fear At the brightest beginnings That we've both held so dear

I'm so jealous of you I'm not proud of this feeling And counting all you friends I wonder who you're feeding Holding hands I'm so angry with you It's such a base emotion Imagine wrecking it all Such misplaced devotion Holding Hands I need alcohol drinks To get over seeing you I have to calm myself down Too excited, too long, too new Holding hands A long, long way from here

Waiting 03:53
I'm not trying to make things hard for you I just wish i knew the best things and the right things to say To make all the hurt go away And i'm waiting I'm still waiting Lines on my face get deeper each year And after everything what are we still doing here It's never seemed any less clear And i'm waiting I'm still waiting For all your...

Breathe 04:12
And look I know just how you feel Wait, please don't say Anything today To keep everyone safe Just the slightest look Gives it all away The blankest stakes Keep me safe Stay close by Watch me fly Breathe anew It's all because of you

Blue Skies 03:15
If I tell myself It's OK If i take it all Just day by day This coat of pain Might fade away Don't know how To live this way To watch your life before my eyes And see your grey turn into blue skies You'll never know how much i tried For you, for me, for all we let slide And you're so in love And i can see You're happy now That's how it should be To watch your life before my eyes And see your grey turn into blue skies You'll never know how much i tried For you, for me, for all we let slide

If there's a mountain of thoughts each day to climb through So cold and confusing I'd dress up for you And cover the silence in buttons and dials While the delicate leaves on your tree of denial Disguise all the meanings behind your cellophane words Wrapped in a blanket of hope I can't preserve As the promises empty out of your lungs And into the insides of our eardrums And I'll stay Well you know there's a line that's been drawn in the sand And the tide's coming in though we've got nothing planned And I'd run for my life if i just knew the way But tomorrow just tells me to trust yesterday And I'll stay And all your cellophane words hide near the ceiling The softest amber glow lights what you're feeling inside If I'm not content then just take my hands The carpet is worn but my heart understands And the tangle that binds us could build a whole city From the grass on the ground to the skyline so pretty And I'll stay

On a night like this Nothing else existed Only you and me And what we wanted to be Everything else can just fade from view I knew you so well And at least for some little while I was yours and you were mine Wrapped up in the sound Words are on the ground I know we will stop I'll breathe but just not With feeling that anything could happen Everything else can just fade from view I knew you so well And at least for some little while I was yours and you were mine

Today I'm wondering how you are The distance seems so far But you're just steps away Today a million things I've said And your words in my head Can't get me through I know there's no point talking more We both know the score It's all just circles now Round, and all around again If you were just my friend This would be easier It's not simple at all in my head It's not simple Hiding underneath the skin The surface is so thin It could be broken With all with of just one word And everything I've heard About you It's not simple at all in my head It's not simple Foolish old girl In your arms you held the world but You didn't know what to do with it If it all turns out this way I will just stay And get on with things Like Ive done for so long I know it seems so wrong I should just get a life It's not simple at all in my head It's not simple
