You probably
Don’t even care about
Where I am
Or what I’m doing now
But I’ve been thinking of the time
We spent together
And all the things I wish
That I’d done better
I’m not dwelling in the past
I’m just saying
If I could ever take it back
It’d be di fferent
Cause when you choose between
A lover and a friend
Chances are that you will lose
Both of them
I’m reminded by
The shitty things I’ve done
Over time, good friends that I’ve lost
It never turned out right
I should have known this
Yeah, I still think about that
Meredith
The laugh we shared
Still echoes through these walls
It’s a cold and it’s a bitter
Place to start
No matter how I try
To leave it all behind
I’m just living someone else’s life
It reminds me of
The shitty things I’ve done
Over time, good friends that I’ve lost It never turned out right
I should have known this
Yeah I still think about that
Meredith
If went back today
Spent the afternoon away
No one, no one
Is gonna make me laugh
The way you did
But somethings can’t be unbroken
Some beds can’t be unmade
Some bridges can’t be built again

What's Important

What’s Important
I wanna get better
Sitting here in silence
I wanna get older
Moving through this old world
Knowing what’s important
Knowing what’s important
My desires are like the sea
Rushing and rushing and rushing over me
They pull away from the shore
Always leaving me wanting more
Show me what it means
To live a life this way
Rooted as a pine tree
While the seasons change
With its branches bent
Knowing what’s important
Cause my desires are like the wind
Blowing and blowing and blowing on everything
If all I want is to be true
Tell me where does that leave you?

Cold Hearted Woman

Cold Hearted Woman
I can turn my life around
In a second
I can cut you out
Just like that
I don’t owe you anything
Nor will I give you
An explanation
I stopped counting all the times
You fell out of line with me
And I don’t wanna talk about it
Why don't you just let me be
I’m a cold hearted woman
The world is on fire
We are dying
Past the point of
No returning
Still you’re calling me a liar
And you turn your gaze
The other way
To watch the fury of our anger
Instead of cleaning up the mess you made
Oh but you can’t tame the tiger
Or the lion in a cage
And I’m a cold hearted woman

The Abyss of Despair

The Abyss of Despair
I still see her in the front room
Where they put her bed
It’s one of the only
Memories I have
Hidden behind the curtains
Is a world you can’t understand
So take my hand and walk with me
To the abyss of despair
We’ll spend our days eating ice cream
And smoking cigarettes
We’ll think of all the places
We haven’t seen yet
And you’d be around
To ask me again
And I wouldn’t be so scared
To look at the softness
Of your shavenly head
I’d take your hand
And walk with you
Through the abyss of despair
The abyss of despair

Interlude

Interlude
Tired and heavy
Lost in the haze
You waited and waited
But she never came
Flowers of lilies
Filled out the room
The echoing silence
Of the unanswered prayers
And the meaning of life
As the morning sun rises
Is it already time?

Que Tu Reviennes

Que Tu Reviennes
Avant de partir
J’aimerais pouvoir dire
Que j’ai aimé
Le meilleur et le pire
Sans vouloir te changer
Ni te retenir
Les hommes font la guerre
Moi je passerais l’hiver
À tes côtés
Dis-moi, combien de fois
Devrait-on recommencer
Et refaire les mêmes erreurs?
Je rêve de toi, je chante ton nom
Et j’attends que tu reviennes...
La promesse sous l’emprise
D’un monde en devenir
Je n’y crois pas
Fatiguée de courir
Que le temps est futile
Sans toi
Si on laissait derrière
Tout ce qui nous retient
L’illusion qui nous sépare
Et qu’on réalisait ce dont on a besoin
Avant qu’il soit trop tard

My Joy
Come, show yourself to me
I have carried you around
But I’m ready for you now
Cause I don’t want to live in fear
Just think of what this life would be
If I decided it was worthy
In a world that wants you dead
I will give my love a chance
And let no man take away
My joy, my joy
What to make of all of this
Another year around the sun
And still so much to be done
Nat King Cole used to sing
The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
You are worthy, you are worthy
You are worthy, you are worthy
You are worthy, you are worthy
You are worthy, you are worthy
In a world that wants you dead
I will give my love a chance
And let no man take away
My joy, my joy
And let no man take away
My joy, my joy

Nothing to Prove (You Are Enough, You Are Loved)
Hands in my back pockets
Walking the wild forest
Heart open like a flower
This is my life
Follow the path of questions
Seeking to find the answers
I stumble upon in wonder
Taking my time
Cause there’s no finish line to get to
So what am I trying to prove?
Somewhere along the river
I stopped in my tracks to listen
The sound of the silence whisper
The wind moving through the branches
The birds and their many songs
Remind me that I belong
The moon and the stars that shone
The road that leads me home
They say
Your are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are loved, you are enough
You are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are loved
You are enough, you are enough, you are enough
Hands in my back pockets
Walking the wild forest
Heart open like a flower
This is my life
My life
My life

To Hold it All

To Hold it All
I was walking by the water
Played it over in my head
No matter how I thought about it
Still it don’t make any sense
I was thinking of your children
And this world we’re giving them
I know they will miss their mother
The same way I’ve been missing mine
When the grief takes over
I try to remember
That love is greater
Than anything
When the light gets darker
And I can’t find my way
I go walking by water
To watch the sun sets on the lake
I was taken by the beauty
Of the colors in the sky
And the birds they flew above me
Disappeared into the light
As if there for me to see
Something to be recognized
We are here for just a moment
There is so much to this life
When the grief takes over
I try to remember
That love is greater
Than anything
When the light gets darker
And I can’t find my way
I go walking by water
To watch the sun sets on the lake
I wish I could tell you dear
That it gets easier with time
Truth is I am only learning
How to hold it all at once
How to hold it all...
