Wonderment
04:39
|
|||
I had a dream, I was caught in the red
Was floating between
And all around my head
I could not grasp
Take ahold of anything
Seemed like letting go was the only way
And all that I wonder, but I do not know
If it will ever show, ever show
Ever show, ever show
Down West River Parkway
Behind the old boats
There’s a corner just over there
It is hidden low, hidden low
How far is how far?
Would you let this go?
And stand in the dark
Where the lights are low?
And all that I wonder, but I do not know
If it will ever show, ever show
Ever show

Back Seat
03:49
|

Rolling, we were just cruising down the strip
Moving by the click
They were talking ‘bout what they don‘t know
Young, dumb and busted and all of us was trusting
The wings we had would carry us
To something unpredictable
The sun was going
Going down
Got the windows open as we cruise around
The sun was going
Going down
Got the windows open as we cruise around
And you were in the back seat
I was in front and in the middle
All our dreams were probable cause
And probably we didn’t know
What’s ahead of us
Never felt so free
Fast forward I’m up in LA and I’m stuck up in lanes
Barely moving, running late to my own show
The city! Lit like the back roads, where lovers at midnight
Giving what they got hoping that they’ll get some more
The sun was going
Going down
Got the windows open as we cruise around
The sun was going
Going down
Got the windows open as we cruise around
And you were in the back seat
I was in front and in the middle
All our dreams were probable cause
And probably we didn’t know
What’s ahead of us
Never felt so free

Loving the Questions
04:22
|

Loving the questions, hating the fall
Live in the answers, though never they come
When ya want
The body’s just fragments
Yeah, all full of stars
Lighting the way
To wherever you are right now
What could we do here?
What words could we speak?
Language is silence
For the spaces between
So, hold, hold onto me
You can hold, hold onto me
There in the park
Said you’re waiting for me
Under the branches where your feet crush the leaves
To the ground
I kept my distance, observed from afar
Walked away with my patience
Like dragging a wall through the crowd
What could we do here?
What words could we speak?
Language is silence
For the spaces between
So, hold, hold onto me
You can hold, hold onto me

Boston
04:11
|

It was late one eve in mid-September
I remember, I remember
I was flying cross the ocean
You were heading out to Boston
Though we hadn’t been going for that long yet
Still writing little love letters on the phone
Like two lovers in the yard
Is this magic?
Is this the right fit?
‘Cause I believe it, oh, I believe it is
Now I show you love with the flowers
You say morn is your favorite hour
Way all this has got me feeling
I could swear, there’s a higher power
Though we hadn’t been going for that long yet
Still writing little love letters on the phone
Like two lovers in the yard
Is this magic?
Is it the right fit?
‘Cause I believe it, I believe it is
This is magic, magic, oh, magic
This is the right fit

Curiosity
04:33
|
|||
Who am I without those stones you threw?
And who am I when I’m not watching you?
From the corner of my eye,
To see if everything’s alright
Giving you the final say of what I’m doing with my life
It’s real life, I’m never really over you
It’s just time I’ve been combing through
Oh, the space to realize
What was truth and what were lies
What was shadow, what was light?
What was yours and what was mine?
This curiosity is setting into motion
I was a stranger to myself when I knew ya
So, I should say thank you
For loving and leaving me
Yeah, I should say thank you
Now who am I?
Well I stay up till dawn and when I wake
It’s to no alarms
Sometimes I laugh at my own jokes
I know there’s things that I don’t know
And when I think about you now
I’m learning to let go!
This curiosity is setting into motion
I was a stranger to myself when I knew ya
So, I should say thank you
For loving and leaving me
Yeah, I should say thank you
For giving me room to breathe
This curiosity is setting into motion
I was a stranger to myself when I knew ya
So, I should say thank you
For loving and leaving me
Yeah, I should say thank you
For loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Oh, loving and leaving
I’m loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving
Loving and leaving

Golden
04:26
|
|||
Oh, excuse me there while I tell my truth
And it rattles up and rings in you
But you don’t know what to say or do
So, you stare
Got golden drops upon my lips
And golden eyes and golden hips
And there’s glory in the power
Of my name
So, why have I got to be angry?
Why have I got to be angry?
Oh, why have I got to be angry
Up in here?
I’ve got joy, even when I’m a target
If ya think that’s political
Don’t get me started
You know I’m golden and I flaunt it
You know it’s true
Everything I touch is golden
And every time I sing you want to be on it
And all the swag I bring, I bring it’s flawless
You know it’s true
So, why have I got to be angry?
Why have I got to be angry?
Oh, why have I got to be angry
Up in here?
Does this black woman voice have too much power for ya?
Would it go down sweetly if I sang softer?
Does this black woman voice have too much power?
Would it go down sweetly if I sang softer?
So, why have I got to be angry?
Why have I got to be angry?
Oh, why have I got to be angry
Up in here?

Sing to the Walls

I will sing to these walls
I will sing to the stars
And if it lightens you up
I will sing to your heart, I will sing to your heart
I will sing to the moon
I will sing the rain as it’s falling at night
I will sing it for you
Yeah, I’ll be singin’, I’ll be singin’
I will sing to those walls
Hope it gets through
And I will sing to your scars
They need healing too
I will sing to your walls
Hope it gets through, gets through
I’d like to scoop you up
And we could go for a drive
You know how I like my car
You know how I love your eyes
I could sing to those eyes
Yeah, I could sing to those eyes
I will sing to those walls
Hope it gets through
And I will sing to your scars
They need healing too
I will sing to your walls
Hope it gets through, gets through
On the day that you called my name I got up, I got up
On the day that you called my name I got up, I got up
On the day that you called my name I got up, I got up
I will sing to those walls
Hope it gets through
And I will sing to your scars
They need healing too
I will sing to your walls
Hope it gets through, gets through

Like the Sun
04:00
|

Woke up from a crazy dream last night
You were in my arms sleeping
By my side
It pulled me from the dark, cold place in my mind
Yeah, this love the warmest thing to find
Yeah, I would wait for the sun to come up
You’re like the sun
You’re like the sun, yeah
And I would wait for the sun to come up
You’re like the sun
You’re like the sun, yeah
When we hooked up the summer’s heat was full on
And we bike thru the city streets just ‘cause
I kissed you on the lips that night, oh love
And I got home the sun was coming up
And I would wait for the sun to come up
You’re like the sun
You’re like the sun, yeah
And I would wait for the sun to come up
You’re like the sun
You’re like the sun, yeah
And I would wait for the sun to come up
You’re like the sun
You’re like the sun, yeah
And I would wait for the sun to come up
You’re like the sun
You’re like the sun, yeah

Hope
03:59
|

Know I feel for you
Know ya feel it too
Know the magic’s there
In the eyes so blue
But my questions and fears
Got their voices too
And all I know is what I feel for you
But I hold back
In hopes that
What I feel now
Won’t fold like it did in the past
So, I hope
So, I hope
So, I hope
So, I hope
Oh, sitting here
Yeah, the poetry
Yeah, it’s on the table
Right in front of me
He said one songbird
Sent to set him free
I’m waiting here
Oh, sing to me
So, I hold back
In hopes that
What I feel now
Won’t fold like it did in the past
So, I hope
So, I hope
So, I hope
So, I hope
I don’t wanna give up
Don’t wanna give up
I don’t wanna give up
Don’t wanna
Won’t you take my heart and hand?

I wish I was
A summer rose
That marked the spot
Where all the wild things grow
And someone who
Could brave the thorns
Would find me there
And bring me home
The light that shines on us
May bring a shadow for someone else
With all that’s going on
Can we see the beauty that’s all around?
