How can I ever thank you for waking my soul from its deep slumber
You lit a fire within my heart, one that I thought was lost forever
When you look at me, I can’t remember how to breathe
Being around you is like
Dancing on the moon or bathing in the sun
Am I the only one who sees it
Being around you is like floating in the sea
And I just need to know, do you ever think of me
What else can I really say-- you are the best part of my day
Your light leaves me full of wonder, and I’ve never felt so damn inspired
When you look at me, I can’t remember how to breathe
Being around you is like
Dancing on the moon or bathing in the sun
Am I the only one who sees it
Being around you is like floating in the sea
And I just need to know, do you ever think of me
Is it just a fantasy
Am I only dreaming
Being around you is like floating in the sea
And I just need to know, do you ever think of me

Only Me & the Moon

Only me and the moon
On the open road
I’ll be on my own in the desert soon
I’m looking back at the past
Dreaming of a different path
But now that I’m here, I see clearly, ooo
This highway’s the one that I am meant to be on
It’s only me and the moon
And I know you don’t believe in God
But if you don’t mind
I’m going to pray to mine
Turns out I don’t even have to fight
No matter what you say I know I’ll be alright
Turns out I am free to just let go
of all the pain and agony I needlessly held onto before
Only me and the moon
Gazing at the stars
Waiting on a late summer-time monsoon
The desert nightscape beckons closure
And paints a picture
Of who you are inside, and suddenly, ooo
Every cosmic connection hits a chord within
It’s only me and the moon
And I know you don’t believe in God
But if you don’t mind
I’m going to pray to mine
Turns out I don’t even have to fight
No matter what you say I know I’ll be alright
Turns out I am free to just let go
of all the pain and agony I needlessly held onto before
And doesn’t this feel good
Not as lonely as I could be
And doesn’t this feel strange
Not as afraid as I should be
Turns out I don’t even have to fight
No matter what you say I know I’ll be alright
Turns out I am free to just let go
of all the pain and agony I needlessly held onto before
It’s only me and the moon

Everywhere I Go

Wasted so much time
Wishing for a different life
Moving to greener grass
Never stopping to ask
Who or what I’m running to or from
I don’t have any of these answers
But it’s in my bones to ache for change
While yearning for it all to stay the same
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
If I’m brave enough
To leave, then I must be
Brave enough to stay
And to say all the things
That I’ve kept to myself for far too long
Maybe I’ll even learn a thing or two
But it’s in my bones to ache for change
While yearning for it all to stay the same
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Time to stop fleeing
Time to start being
I feel like I can breathe again
Like I am me again
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
Everywhere I go, there I am, there I am
This time I’ll stay right here

Night Sky

Now I know why, when in a daze
I would cry out I wanna go home
Right from my kitchen floor
Memories of the day you left
They are still vivid in my mind
There were a million stars in the night sky as I clung to you
No I couldn’t say goodbye
(Ooo)
Now I know why (I-iii)
Now I know why (I-iii)
I found the missing piece
It was always within me
And now I know why (I-iii)
Protected you; spared him too
Took care of it all but what about me
You never left my heart
Tried to leave the pain behind me
Bury it, bury it, bury it deep
But the million stars in the night sky
Shining down on the driveway
Remind me that one day I’ll be fine
(Ooo)
Now I know why (I-iii)
Now I know why (I-iii)
I found the missing piece
It was always within me
And now I know why (I-iii)
None of them know the real me
How can I still love you when you’ve become a stranger
Now I know why (I-iii)
Now I know why (I-iii)
I found the missing piece
It was always within me
And now I know why (I-iii)

Melodramatic

I still remember the snowy drive
Upstate heading downtown to your place
No need to speak as we floated by
Withered trees and lonely houses underneath a milky sky
We hummed along to Bon Iver and I thought
I could live in this moment forever
Always knew I’d see you again
Just didn’t realize how soon (ooo)
Honestly I was such a romantic
Maybe even melodramatic (ooo)
But so were you
My heart used to sink at the thought of
Seeing your face and when you talked up
The pit in your stomach that deepened each time you heard my name
Now that chapter of my life feels so far away
We hummed along to Bon Iver and I thought
I could live in this moment forever
Always knew I’d see you again
Just didn’t realize how soon (ooo)
Honestly I was such a romantic
Maybe even melodramatic (ooo)
But so were you
To think of all the songs I wrote about you
Now I’m laughing at those silly lovestruck tunes
To think of all the tears I cried over you
Now I’m hoping you’ve found happiness too
Always knew I’d see you again
Just didn’t realize how soon (ooo)
Honestly I was such a romantic
Maybe even melodramatic (ooo)
But so were you

Wait for You

They say you need to live it to learn it
But I barely I lived through
The night I lost you
They say it wasn’t meant to be
But they don’t know
This feeling in my bones
I’ll wait for you
I’d wait forever for you
I’m not the first or only woman
To have her spirit
Completely broken
My heart will bounce back, I know
But it’s hard to stay strong
When I feel so alone
I’ll wait for you
I’d wait forever for you
