Let Go

are we or are we not
hanging like icicles from the rooftops
we are growing in the cold
taking shape and taking hold
because this is our time now

I know that things are so
different than you imagined
but you imagined
so donʼt stop now
because weʻre gonna see the dream
before we drop drop drop drop down drop drop drop drop down

oh oh
let go let go let go
itʼs gonna be ok ok I know
weʼre gonna fall fast yeah but then real slow
youʼre gonna find your wings have finally grown (let go let go let go)

I swear I swear sometimes youʼre just so serious
itʼs like youʼd crack your face with a smile
If you forget yourself for a while
the world might crumble in

let go let go let go
itʼs gonna be ok ok I know
weʼre gonna fall fast yeah but then real slow
youʼre gonna find your wings have finally grown (let go let go let go)
are we or are we not
hanging like icicles from the rooftops
we are growing in the cold
taking shape and taking hold
because this is our time now

Colorful

you are radiant with color
and you are a symphony of light
wherever you go the the sun will surely follow
you take the darkest parts of my heart
and you make them shine

from the deepest shades of crimson
to the brightest green
I donʼt know why you make me so crazy
I donʼt know why but you make me so crazy

Life is Rosy

flowers start to bloom in every different hue from violet to pink and blue
I can feel a change no I am not the same Iʼm lucky to be here with you

this feels right feels so bright bright
all the world somehow starts to shine shine
with you by my side life is rosy

shades of green melt into tangerine I watch the sun itʼs setting in your eyes
can you tell Iʼm wrapped up in your spell yeah itʼs all good and well I think I realize

this feels right feels so bright bright
all the world somehow starts to shine shine
with you by my side life is rosy

beautiful yeah itʼs so wonderful oh darlinʼ donʼt you know that life is rosy beautiful
yeah itʼs so wonderful oh darlinʼ donʼt you know that life is rosy

hey look at my heart I think itʼs the start of something new
hey I finally see that life is rosy

Everywhere I Go

youʼre flying away in a cloud of thunder
with tears on my face I can only wonder
how long itʼll take to forget what Iʼm feeling
am I ever gonna see you again
the words on my lips that were never spoken
the dreams of the kiss that could leave me broken
they shadow and haunt me they keep me awake
I should have never let you get away

oh everywhere I go
all I see is you
and I hope you see me too

I sang you a song from the deepest place
you spun me around and my heart it raced
I stood on the edge and I wanted to jump
but I was afraid of it all
under the stars in the darkest dark
you opened the hands of your beating heart
you stood on the edge I told you to jump
then I just let you fall

I am climbing to the top of the world tonight
and Iʼm reaching through the clouds but thereʼs no way to pull you down
ohhh if I had wings
Iʼd fly up there to you and I would sing
the sweetest words this beating heart could bring mmmm

under the stars in the darkest dark
you opened the hands of your beating heart
under the stars in the darkest dark
you opened the hands of your beating heart

I will never forget you I will never forget
I will never let you go
I will sing to the stars until it reaches your heart
until all of the angels know

oh everywhere I go
all I see is you
and I hope you see me too

Blue Bird

blue bird blue bird sitting on my window sill
singing sweetly out into the morning chill
pouring your heart out like words on a page
yeah the notes float away to the sky
blue bird blue bird tell me what youʼre dreaming of
lovely weather I donʼt know could it be love
shine your feathers fly up and find her
I really hope you do

thereʼs a song in your heart
thereʼs a spring in your step
while youʼre sending for the dreams you have
that havenʼt happened yet

keep on sending those wishes
keep on sending those words
fly away to places where your little song can be heard
and while youʼre perched on empty branches
darling donʼt lose heart
youʼre gonna get there
youʼre gonna find your start

big white clouds sit proudly in the amber sky
spinning thoughts all tangled up in lullabies
shake the sleep off open up your tired eyes
whatʼs a girl to do

Iʼm so tired of hearing darling whatʼs the fuss about
youʼre still young youʼve got the time to figure these things out
oh oh is that so

Fly Away

weʼre sitting on these yellow diner chairs
enjoying rootbeer floats and quiet stares
I bend my soda straw into a heart
it makes the pointy edges kinda sharp
Itʼs something that I do when I get nervous
when I canʼt find the words I want to say
so catch the little clues that seem to dance in your direction
no I donʼt have the strength to hold them down

oh I could fly (I could just fly away)
up into the sky (I could just fly away)
I could chase the sun like a shooting star Iʼd run
across the darkest night (I could just fly away)

Iʼve spent my whole life searching for the key
for someone who could solve my mysteries
whoʼd open up the doors that I keep locked
now truthfully I feel a little shocked
the thought of you inside it makes me nervous
but I canʼt seem to shut you out at all
and all these little clues they seem to dance in my direction and
I donʼt have the strength to tie them down

oh I could fly, (I could just fly away)
up into the sky, (I could just fly away)
I could chase the sun like a shooting star and run
across the darkest night
over every sea (I could just fly away)
can you catch me (I could just fly away)
we could chase the sun be like shooting stars weʼll run
across the darkest night

maybe weʼd play hide and seek behind the rings of Saturn
maybe weʼd get lost out there in space
wouldnʼt that be great

maybe we should fly up into the sky
we could chase the sun
like shooting stars and run
over every sea (we could just fly away)
will you follow me (we could just fly away)
baby I would never tie you down

Paradise

hey you whyʼd you take so long
canʼt you see that Iʼve been waiting patiently
and Iʼve been saving all my love
itʼs been a long day
and Iʼve dreaming of the moment when I would slip away
into the safety of your arms
into the comfort of your calm
into your sweet embrace

take me to paradise
I know youʼre going
we donʼt have to go far
no wherever you are is where I want to be
youʼre my paradise baby

we can take our time
yeah weʼll go real slow
somewhere hard to find
somewhere no one else knows
where the warmest waves
meet the softest breeze
gonna leave this place
so youʼd better get ready

take me to paradise
I know youʼre going.
we donʼt have to go far
no wherever you are is where I want to be
youʼre my paradise baby

Oh can you feel it now
oh we got lost in time somehow
watch the sun setting
feel myself letting go

I Won't Change

you pick up the pieces
and you put them away
in cozy little boxes
save them for another day
you cleaned up the messes
and you glued down the strays
ooh now youʼre ready for love

I donʼt do the dishes
and I wonʼt pay the bills
and I like to keep the laundry piled up in little hills
you can take me or leave me
ʻcause Iʼll do what I will
ooh but Iʼm ready for love

I wonʼt change if Iʼm too much girl for you
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
no itʼs a shame but Iʼm telling you the truth
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
no I donʼt no I donʼt

Iʼm sick of pretending
no I donʼt understand
all the time that we spend playing games
we never want to land
so Iʼll make this one easy
yeah if you want to please me
than youʼll take me as I am

want to run around in circles
I get dizzy my legs get tired
you tried you started with a purpose
but all the things that you denied
are growing taller in the dark
and twisting tight around you heart
they haunt you while you try to sleep
come bubbling back up from the deep
you wrestle and you try to fight
but youʼve been swallowed by this night
and now youʼre wanting to be free
you never should have changed for me

I wonʼt change if Iʼm too much girl for you
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
itʼs a shame now youʼre telling me the truth
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
I wonʼt change cause I donʼt want to
no I donʼt no I donʼt.

Bring Me The Sunshine

you sent me a card from paradise
with coconut trees and a turquoise sea
a nice little note that closed with Xʼs and Oʼs
a sweet little tease from you to me

you bring me the sunshine
you bring me the sun
bringing the sunshine to everyone

itʼs been a cold grey winter
and youʼve been away so long
youʼre sent me a smile from the clouds
blew a kiss into a crowd
I almost forget how perfect life could be

you bring me the sunshine
you bring me the sun
bringing the sunshine to everyone

so wonʼt you come come closer
and share with me the light youʼve found
this place it grows sparkles and glows
when you bring your little heart around
oh Iʼve been wishing on a wish
that you would find your way back home to me
and all the love youʼve missed because

you bring me the sunshine
you bring me the sun
bringing the sunshine to everyone

Built To Break

whereʼd you get that sweater
itʼs so not your color
and whereʼd you get those shoes
theyʼre too gangsta for you
you shouldʼve asked me
I wouldʼve told you straight away
and when was your last dinner
youʼre looking so much thinner
and whatʼs up with those eyes
theyʼre losing all their light
no they donʼt sparkle quite like they did before

you could be mine
you could be mine all mine
or you could be hers
whatever
but I could do you so much better
and I could be yours I could be yours I could be yours all yours
but maybe thatʼs too much
more than you can take
maybe youʼre just built to break

Iʼd like to do your laundry
bake you some nice cookies or knit you a new cap
could you deal with that
or does that scare you
because I think it might

I think maybe you need reasons
give yourself an out
pick the girls who keep you wild
donʼt know what loveʼs about
I wonʼt give you one more reason not to settle down
and I think that scares you

you could be mine you could be mine all mine
or you could be hers
whatever
but I could do you so much better
and I could be yours I could be yours I could be yours all yours
but maybe Iʼm too much
more than you can take
maybe youʼre just built to break

The Lucky One

we go spinning through the dark
like fireflies our burning hearts
they light up the night
whisper something in my ear
your breath falls hot like summer air
the words come out right

youʼre getting warmer
youʼre almost there
feel myself floating
into in the air

Iʼm the lucky one
Iʼm the lucky lucky one
just to be with you
just to be with you
Iʼm the lucky one
Iʼm the lucky lucky one
just to be with you

we get lost among the leaves
and share our secrets with the trees
they promise not to tell
golden stars and sliver bark
that glitter softly in the dark
Iʼm under your spell

Youʼre getting closer
too close to miss
and if you catch me
Iʼll have my wish

Iʼm the lucky one
Iʼm the lucky lucky one
just to be with you
just to be with you
Iʼm the lucky one
Iʼm the lucky lucky one
just to be with you

maybe we could live forever this way if we try
outrun the sun we could stay under cover of night
I donʼt need anything more when youʼre here by my side

White Light

rushing rushing around
pulsing flashing red and blue on a cold hard ground
I look in to the deepest sky
I swear right now somehow Iʼve finally found the answers

white light down on me
white light surrounds me
white light leads me away
no fear no darkness in here so far
and I think Iʼd like to stay

all these years
all my wrong and rights
it seems as if they disappear when I close my eyes
but this one moment
I swear it lingers on and on for days

white light down on me
white light surrounds me
white light leads me away
no fear no darkness in here so far
and I think Iʼd like to stay

Oh so beautiful
theres nothing in the world
that shines so brightly
I can see the light in you
