Your Flowers

I tried to plant you flowers, but they wouldn’t grow.
I think I overwatered, now they’re hanging low.
I wish I had a green thumb like the folks I know,
But I don’t so

My words will be the flowers, this is your bouquet.
My mind will be the bow that wraps them up this way.
My heart will be the place the otters flowers stay,
And day by day

I’ll pluck a piece of me for you, dear.
Our love will grow and grow with you near.
I know that the storms are sure to come,
And I’m still here.

You’re Mine

You’re mine. You’re every song that I hear.
You’re every note that I sing. You’re everything that I wanted.
It’s you. You give me reasons to dream.
You make me yearn for my sleep.  I close my eyes and I’m haunted.

Why did you come along?
Why did you steal my heart away?
Why is it you?
I waited all my life,
Promise you’ll never go away.
How could I say goodbye?

I don’t want to live without you.
I could never live without you.
You’re mine, what would life be without you?

You’re mine, you taught me how to believe.
Your presence brought me to see the world in all of it’s splendor.
I knew the moment your eyes met mine
It was a matter of time before this heart I’d surrender.

How did you find me here?
You came when I was all alone.
How did you know?
And though I know you’re mine,
I’m still breathless everyday I wake
With you in my arms.

I Will Wait Forever

She’s not the one who sets your heart afire,
And yes, I know it.
No, she’s not the one who makes your time stand still,
And yes, you show it.
You look in my eyes,
I see the world as it should be in the end,
And if this is how I’ll win, all I can do is wait.

And I will wait forever, if you’re mine in the end.
If in the end, I come home to you.
And if it takes forever for this love to begin,
That’s just what my heart will do.

I’ll be the one who lives her life
To keep you satisfied.
Yes, I’ll be the one who’s filled with joy
To stand there by your side.
You tell me you need me, and that’s all I need to hear.
And though someday you’ll be near,
I know I have to wait.

Here

Stay here.
Play here.
Dance here.
Live here in the moment.
This moment is your hand to hold.

And the days will grow cold
When the sun doesn’t shine,
But you’ll shine on your own,
And the world will be fine.

Tomorrow’s sorrow belongs where it lies.

Love

So this is what they talked about,
So this is what they told me of,
So this is what they wanted me to see:
Love.

I tried to make it with my hands,
I worked my fingers to the bone,
But in the end it never came to be
Love.

Love is everything I dreamed.
Love is everything I wanted.
Love’s the only thing I see
Since the day I saw you.

Truth be told, it’s worth the wait,
Since waiting’s wanting turned around.
I turned around and finally found
Love.

A Thousand Nights

I don’t need a thousand nights as much as I would love them.
I don’t need a thousand hours, as much as I would love them.
I don’t need a thousand wishes on a thousand stars,
‘Cause this night is enough to keep me smiling forever.

I don’t need a thousand dances, darling, but I’ll take them.
I don’t need a thousand of your kisses, but who am I to waste them?
I don’t need to wake beside you; that would be a dream.
And this night is enough to keep me dreaming forever.

Wonderful, this is wonderful.
Floating, I am floating.
How I will dream of this moment forever.

He Finds Me Beautiful

He finds me beautiful,
He finds me lovely.
He thinks I’m special;
I’m everything he needs, everything he needs.
And when he kisses me,
All the stars begin to dance.
I, too, am dancing in the palm of his hand.

And I think he’s magical.
I think he’s whole.
I find that his is the twin to my soul.
And if he’ll take me, I will never run away,
‘Cause he finds me beautiful every day.
Yes, he finds me beautiful every day.

The Water

They found you in the water,
They pulled you from the water,
They say you didn’t feel a thing this time.

You tried before to leave me,
I didn’t want to hold you.
Everyone knows there’s no way to make one love.

You stepped up to the water,
You crawled under the water.
Decided you would leave it all behind.

I tried before to love you,
You didn’t want to hurt me.
God only knows what was dancing in your mind.

The day we met, I had a nightmare.
The day you left, I had a nightmare.
They say that drowning can be peaceful
As soon as you embrace the water.

Placebo Effect

Decided to believe in you.
Devoured all your sugar pills.
Yes, I get carried away sometimes.

Simulated love songs.
Captivating, and soon the love song’s over.
Silence.

If I didn’t believe in you,
I never would have met my truth.
The truth is setting me free.

You’re So High (You’re So Low)

The setting sun will tell you secrets of mine,
Don’t believe him.
The aging moon will you drink her time,
Don’t deceive her.

I know you want me, but I don’t know why.
You say you need me, but I cannot fly.
If I could fly, I’d fly to you,
I’d pass the sun and the drunk moon too.

But you’re so high, you’re so high,
Where you belong, loving the sky
And I’m down here, alone down here,
Don’t come down here; there’s nothin’ for you.

The wind she told me how you love deep and true,
I need to see it.
The trees keep telling me that I’m meant for you,
I won’t believe it.

I thought I wanted you, then saw your ways,
Know I can’t trust you or the games you play.
If I let go, I’d lose it all.
You’d drop my hand, laugh and watch me fall,

‘Cause you’re so low, oh, so low,
Too low for me, so low it shows.
And I’m up here, I shine up here,
Don’t come up here, there’s nothing’ for you.

I Am Not Afraid

I am not afraid.
I’ve had years to dream about us.
I am not alone;
My dreams keep me company.
I am not afraid.

I am not afraid.
I’ve had years to dream about us.
Years to write our songs.
Years to grow into the person that you need.

I am not afraid.

Standing Still

You say all the right things at the right time,
But do you mean them?
I can only feel you want me
When I stand up to walk away.

I should know the difference,
but it seems like you’re living in two worlds.
Just choose one; moving forward
Is so much better than standing still.

I want you, still I love you.
Still, I love me more.

Remember in the spring time
When you counted every lock of my hair?
I drank in every moment,
But when the rain fell you weren’t there.

Be with me, be without me,
But you won’t be someone who breaks my heart.
This life is full of choices,
And they’re all better than standing still.

I love you, still I want you.
Still, I want me more.

Still I want you,
Still I need you,
Still I need me more.

Still I need you,
Still I love you,
Still, I love me more.

Never You Mind 

Never You Mind.

Know that fear’s what fueled the fire of courage that lead us here.

Never You Mind.

You Matter.

You Two

But I’ll sing for you. I’ll sing to you.

‘Cause I made you and I love you.

‘Cause I made you and I love you.

Scorpion

When you needed me.  You needed me to get there.

What made it worse was knowing that feeling was my last.

I’m going home due to your nature.

Secrets
Hold now, slow down, turn around baby your secret’s showing.

Do I even know your name?

Then you say their name and all’s lost.

Do I even know your name?

Boxed Wine

 

Let it meet with mine forever.

The taste of you is bright

 

Flying

 

And closed her eyes, gave in to flight

Just close your eyes and sing your song

And the world loves every word
