Bridges and Cars

Boat on the water is drifting
Drifting out to sea
Don't ask me where it's going
It's moving far from me
Water rushing in
It's weighing me down
But there's time between the end
And where we are right now
Bridges and cars, and boats on the water
Bridges get over, boats take us farther
In another life, I was a careless daughter
But I can't watch you go under
Bridges and cars, and boats on the water
Bridges get over, boats take us farther
In another lifetime I tried to leave you behind
But I can't watch you go down this time
I can't watch you go under now
I can't watch you go under now
I can't watch you go under now
I can't watch you go under now

One Step

Reaching up from the pavement
Cold hands cracked face
I could feel the silence below
As I looked, I could finally trace
My way back through the dark
Nobody's around
I felt free as I could be
Just my feet and the ground
It would be one step in the right direction
If I didn't have your protection
Just your respect when I call
I don't know why you treat me like a new invention
Terrified of my ascension
I get back up if I fall
You always held my hand too tight
Walking too fast for my stride
Everything I told you I wanted to be
Was slowly swept aside
Flying up through the sky
It never looked so blue
Everything you told me was a lie
But I know you believed it too
It would be one step in the right direction,
If I didn't have your protection
Just your respect when I call
I don't know why you treat me like a new invention
Terrified of my ascension
I get back up if I fall
I'm burning down the walls and
Smoke is filling up the halls it's
Making it's way to you
I come tumbling down oh
When I finally hit the ground
I'll get up, get up, get out
It would be one step in the right direction
If I didn't have your protection
Just your respect when I call
And I don't know why you treat me like a new invention
Terrified of my ascension
I get back up if I fall
I get back up I get back up
I get back up
I get back up if I fall
I get back up I get back up
I get back up
I get back up if I fall

Freight Train

Couldn't find my way back
Couldn't get myself on track
I was running like a freight train,
Fallin' off the rails I crashed, to the sea
Couldn't find my way home
Gave up all I'd ever owned
I was a sinking stone falling below the horizon
I was falling slow
Da da da da dom da
Da dum da da dum da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da dum da da dum da
Nothing' I could do, no matter how hard I tried
I couldn't keep from falling out of your life
Nothing' I could say, no matter how hard I tried
Day by day, I fell out of your life
Tried to make it right,
Tried to put up a fight,
But the tighter I held on
The farther I slipped way
And you were already gone
So many sleepless nights
Walking icy sidewalks at midnight
With the falling of my feet
And every passing street I guess I was
Leaving you too
Da da da da dom da
Da dum da da dum da
Da da da da da da da da da
Da dum da da dum da
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to see that I was standing here
I wanted you to try and keep me there in your life

The Wake

Please don't try to take me back this time
There is nothing you can do to make it right
You could tell me everything is just like it was
But you know we cannot get ahead of what's got us feeling so raw
When I tried to get back
All these feelings I had lost
In the wake of all these setbacks
I wanted to shake you off
I hear voice it is carried on
This cold dark wind
And I'd look for you there
But I wouldn't know where to begin
Some people think they own
This path I'm walking on
But you know these paths
They don't come with us
When we're gone
When I tried to get back
These thoughts that I miss all the time
And in the back of my mind
I hear you saying you're doing just fine
I wanted to curl up and die
When you told me you were saying goodbye
All I could do then was cry
Now I don't need you or any of your time
You took a walk
To help you clear your head
Said I wanted to talk
You told me to listen instead
You talked the night away
You talked me right away
You talked me into feeling
I was doing okay
Everything you said
Went right to my head
Your words weaved through my heart
Like a needle and thread

A Storm Came Through
06:28

Coffee and tea
Folded napkins and plastic cutlery
Feels like the end of something
I'll have cake, or cookies, or nothing
The radio's on
I wish I could remember the song
The one that used to remind me
Of what went wrong
When the storm came through
It carried me to you
And when I looked back
There was nothing I could do
Nothing I could
It was late in the winter
The sun hung low
The air was so bitter
Despite that orange glow
I knew you when
I thought we could be friends
But I wish you could see me now
Like I saw you then cause
When the storm came through
It carried me to you
And when I looked back
There was nothing I could do
When the storm came through
It carried me to you
When I looked back
There was nothing I could do
Nothing I
Nothing I
Nothing I...
