FOLLOW ME
I’ll walk away
I never wanted to be
Someone to keep it together, keep it together indefinitely.
I’ll go ahead,
That’s what I want you to see,
I don’t mind if you follow, I don’t mind if you follow, follow me.
I feel restless, tempting, breathless,
Come closer.
I’ll tell you all my secrets, it won’t take very long,
I’ve always been a lonely girl,
I’ve known that all along.
Give me time to unwind.
I’ll lead the way,
That’s what you want me to do.
Every road that I travel, every step that I’m taking is leading to you.
I feel restless, tempting, breathless,
Come closer.
I’ll give you all my loving, this is just where you belong,
I’ve always been a lonely girl,
I’ve known that all along.
Let me show you how to unwind.
Ohhh----
At the end of the day
I know where I want you to be,
Baby I want you together,
I need you together, together with me.
Baby I want you together, I need you together
I’ll give you all my loving, this is just where you belong.
I’ve always been a lonely girl,
I’ve know that all along,
Let me show you how to,
Give me time to
Let me show you how to unwind.

BLOOM
Tall as grass, narrow as a tree
This has always been a part of me.
Blue as summer sky,
Doesn’t take a lot to get a girl like me to cry.
I’ve been under stress,
And I have found that folding in has been what feels the best.
Bound up at the root,
Tired of telling lies when I can’t bear to tell the truth.
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
Waiting to bloom.
I went underground
I was sure I’d be found
Dried out as the dust,
Desiccated from the energy it takes to trust
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
Waiting to bloom.
At night, my voice rises up like water, oh
That’s how I know it’s time to grow.
I’ve been underground
You thought that you had buried me,
You couldn’t hear me make a sound.
I’ve been spreading roots,
And though I can’t yet see the sun,
I can hear her say ‘come’
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
I’ve been waiting, waiting to bloom,
Waiting to bloom.

IF YOU LOVE ME
I look for signs in the mirror
I look for signs on the wind
I couldn’t be any clearer
I get what I want in the end
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, love me
I need to set myself in motion
But I know better than to try
Put on my shea butter lotion
Settle down to cry
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, love me
Go to the woods, take a moment alone
Get lost, but i forgot my phone
Tell time from the shadows in the grass
This too shall pass
Will I be here when it’s done?
Where will I be when it’s done?
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, let me go
If you love me, love me.

BUT I DO
The way you look at me
Makes me want to tell you who I am
But I don’t know how it goes.
Give me one good reason why
I should tell the truth tonight
When we both know how this ends.
Everything I learn about you makes me doubt myself,
And I’m going for the gold.
I shouldn’t be loving you this way
But I do
The way you wear your hair
The way you act like you don’t notice that I stare
Has me tangled up inside.
I hold myself through the night,
I feel my edges stretching wide
And I don’t know where I end.
I see myself as the starry sky,
And I see myself as the moon
You’re hidden in the dark of my night.
I shouldn’t be loving you this way
But I do.
I shouldn’t be loving you this way
But I do.
~~~
My dreams have paid the cost,
Empty rooms of ambition lost,
Oh, mm.
You’ve given me a reason why I should let myself forget
Let it wash into the ocean.
I shouldn’t be loving you this way
I shouldn’t be loving you this way
I shouldn’t be loving you,
But I do.

NO WAY NO HOW
Friday night and it feels so slow
I’m feeling low, I’m feeling low.
You say there’s nothing to talk about,
But you don’t know I’ve got you figured out.
Cause I’d never trust you,
No way, no how, no way, no how now
I’d never trust you,
No way, no how, no way, no how now.
Friday night and nowhere to go
I’ve given you a chance to grow
But seems there’s always something to shout about
You’ll never know why I won’t come out
Cause I’d never trust you,
No way, no how, no way, no how now
I’d never trust you,
No way, no how, no way, no how now.
Ohh, I miss the love we used to share,
But there’s none of that now,
No way, no how,
Not now.
Honey, when you call I hang up the phone
Just for you, I’ll be cold as ice.
There’s too many times that you let me down,
And I won’t let you fool me twice.
Cause I’d never trust you,
No way, no how, no way, no how now
I’d never trust you,
No way, no how, no way, no how now.

CRAZY
Maybe I’m crazy to want you
I hoped you wanted me too
But lately there’s been something strange about you
Baby is there something I should know?
Cause every time I call you, you won’t pick up the phone
And when I come to see you, she says that you’re not home,
I’m just a fool to care for you, or maybe I’m crazy after all.
I know she’s been treating you bad,
What’s happened to you?
Where’s all the fire that you had
You’ve gone so cold.
The friends I ask about you, they say you’re doing fine
But baby when I see you, I know that you’ve been crying
I’m just a fool to care for you, or maybe I’m crazy after all--
--ohh,
I thought I’d changed, oh
But it’s never enough,
No it’s never enough.
I know I’m crazy to want you,
I know you’d never want me too,
And even as the hopes I had are fading
Still somehow I hope you’d pity me.
Cause every time I fall asleep, my dreams are still of you
I know that you’re with her now, but i don’t know what to do
I’m just a fool to care for you, or maybe I’m crazy after all.

I HAFTA TRY
Find me, lying underneath my bed
Forget the things I said, and come in, too.
Remind me, in the way you often do
That the only thing that’s true is I’m undone.
And I hafta try
I hafta try to make you mine
I hafta try
I hafta try to make you mine.
Lately, I’ve forgotten who I am
And when I try to stand, I hit the ground.
Stake me against any lucky streak
You’ll be losing for a week, but that’s alright.
And I hafta try
I hafta try to make you mine
I hafta try
I hafta try to make you mine.
These days, my own heart can make me weak,
I find it hard to speak, or leave the floor
But somehow, time and time again,
You come back to me, you come back to me
And I hafta try
I hafta try to make you mine
I hafta try
I hafta try to make you mine.

TRUE EYES
You're up already, stretching your legs,
Into eternity, they've got something to say.
Somebody's waiting, they won't wait too long,
in my periphery, they keep holding on.
‘Cause I know you don’t want to stick around,
You’ve got everyone ‘round here all but figured out,
And I know you want to roam, you want to roam.
Take me, pull me, show me your true eyes, your true eyes.
All I wanna know is where truth lies, your truth lies.
Take me, pull me, show me your true eyes.
It aint no secret, you're growing up fast.
You can't fit your pictures, you can't fit your past.
And it ain't news to me, your roots have grown thick,
You've grown up and out of it, can’t make you stick.
I know you don't want to stick around,
And I know you want to roam, you want to roam.
Take me, pull me, show me your true eyes, your true eyes.
All I wanna know is where your truth lies, your truth lies.
Take the Luna, bring me to your blue skies, your blue skies.
Take me, pull me, show me your true eyes.

LETTING GO
Birds fly, red eye
Twice shy, sideline.
A memory of venom in my arm and heart
I've made a big mistake.
Cold tide, a fire with you at my side
Awaiting your voice in my mind.
All we need for all we know
Is practice in letting go.
We're undone,
Disappointed the sun is gone
I never meant to run
I don't need a mother,
Thought that I had you
Expired, bone tired, hardwired,
There is nothing left for me.
All we need, for all we know
Is practice in letting go.
We are the waves on this empty shore,
What's left to be seen?
And far beyond us,
Who knows what we mean?
All we need, for all we know
Is practice in letting go.

I THOUGHT YOU’D CHOOSE ME
Nine years old,
Dreaming of the sky
I could see it, clear as day
In my mind’s eye
Pure as gold,
Not afraid to try
Player in it, bright and shy
Do or die.
My mouth, a bruise
I’m nobody’s child to lose.
I thought you’d choose me.
Burning hotter,
Than I thought I’d be
I can taste, through my tears
You spoke to me.
Not what you said,
But what I’ve been left to scream
I thought you’d choose me.

RAINBOW
Cold, getting so cold
Where did you go?
Control, I’m out of control
Hit the ground and I’ll get right up again now.
Bright, I’m walking a line
Between glowing brighter, burning, and changing my mind
Oh, I just need some time.
I’ll go, you’ll go
Take a minute, i’ll be waiting
The sound, so low
I feel my voice start breaking
Trust me, like a knife
That I’ll find you by your glow,
You are my sky, I’m your rainbow.
You, you’re making me laugh
You’re good as can be
For me, and you can the way I know
You want me to go,
Hit the road and I won’t be back again now.
Bright,
You’re walking a line
You are glowing brighter, burning, and changing my mind.
I’ll be watching you for a long time now.
I’ll go, you’ll go
Take a minute, i’ll be waiting
The sound, so low
I feel my voice start breaking
Trust me, like a knife
That I’ll find you by your glow,
You are my sky, I’m your rainbow.
