Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
[CHORUS]
Set me free, leave me be. I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.
You loved me ’cause I’m fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
[CHORUS]
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you’re everything I think I need here on
The ground.
But you’re neither friend nor foe though I can’t seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down

Cinderella’s on her bedroom floor
She’s got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don’t come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty’s in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, i’m tired today
I’d rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming
Cause i don’t care for you fairytales
You’re so worried bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if i knew men could climb hair
I’ll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows
Cause i don’t care for you fairytales
You’re so worried bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that i should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he’s handsome in hindsight
But i don’t want the next best thing
So i sing and hold my head down and i break these walls round me
Can’t take no more of your fairytale love
Cause i don’t care for you fairytales
You’re so worried bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting on the next best thing
I don’t care
I don’t care
Worry bout the maiden though you know
She’s only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb
Appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause i don’t want the next best thing
No no i don’t want the next best thing

There’s too many things that i haven’t done yet
Too many sunsets
I haven’t seen
You can’t waste the day wishing it’d slow down
You would’ve thought by now
I’d have learned something
I made up my mind when i was a young girl
I’ve been given this one world
I won’t worry it away
But now and again i lose sight of the good life
I get stuck in a low light
But then Love comes in
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and i’ll be happy to follow you Love
I do what i can wherever i end up
To keep giving my good love
And spreading it around
Cause i’ve had my fiar share of take care and goodbyes
I’ve learned how to cry
And i’m better for that
Sing how far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Send me the miles and i’ll be happy to
Follow you Love
Red letter day and i’m in a blue mood
Wishing that blue would just carry me away
I’ve been talking to God don’t know
If it’s helping or not
But surely something has got to got to got to give
Cause i can’t keep waiting to live
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
But send me the miles and i’ll be happy to yeah
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Been talking to God don’t know if it’s helping or not
Many the miles
Many the miles
How far do i have to go to get to you
Many the miles
Many the miles
Oh send me the miles and i’ll be happy to
Follow you Love
There’s too many things i haven’t done yet
Too many sunsets i haven’t seen

There’s a harvest each saturday night
At the bars filled with perfume and hitching a ride
A place you can stand for one night and get gone
It’s clear this conversation ain’t’ doing a thing
Cause these boys only listen to me when i sing
And i don’t feel like singing tonight
All the same songs
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
Nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?
The situation’s always the same
You got your wolves in their clothes whispering Hollywood’s name
Stealing gold from the silver they see
But it’s not me
Here in these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
There’s nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold you?
Calling out somebody save me i feel like i’m fading away
Am i gone?
Calling out somebody save me i feel like i’m fading
In these deep city lights
Girl could get lost tonight
I’m finding every reason to be gone
There’s nothing here to hold on to
Could i hold on to you?

We met on a rainy evening in the summertime
Don’t think I need to tell you more
I needed a raise I worked so hard for this love of mine
Still I got nothing to show for it.
Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.
Here’s a simplification of everything we’re going though
You plus me is bad news
But you’re a lovely creation and I like to think that I am too
But my friend said I look better without you.
Tongue tied and twisted, go on baby and go to my head.
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy
Okay we’ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.
You love the chase but hate me for the runaround
We both just tired of the whole thing.
You tell me what you want you need you know you have to have
And I just pretend I’m listening
Too tired this time to deal with old suits you wear with your ties that won’t bind.
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy
Okay we’ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.
Hot as hell cold as ice sip it slow cause it’s so nice
Dulls my senses drives my pain but I do it again
Burns a bit to the touch dangerous if it’s too much
If this bottle could talk
Love on the rocks
Babe, baby believe me
If I stay it ain’t gonna be easy
Okay we’ll do it your way
But this is the last time
You’ll hear the beautiful sound of love coming down
Love on the rocks.

· Filed under Little Voice ·Tagged Between, Lines, memory, Sara Bareilles, unopened, unspoken, You and me
Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause i cant continue pretending to choose
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times
My memory is cruel
Im queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn i’d heard him say it ten thousand times
If only i had been listening
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
I thought i thought i was ready to bleed
That we’d move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He’d already left with the other
So i’ve learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me be
You and me always be
I tell myself all the words he surely meant to say
I’ll talk until the conversation doesn’t stay on
Wait for me i’m almost ready
When he meant let go
Leave unsaid unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines

· Filed under Little Voice ·Tagged distance, Keep, morningside, No use, seem
I’m not scared of you now
Or so i say
There’s no reason to run
Although i may
I’m not as sure as i seem
This much i know
What does it mean you leave and i follow
I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain i desire
Til you get to me on my morningside
Keep my distance i tried
No use
But no matter the miles
I’m back to you
I could try to forget what you do when i let you get
Through to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain i desire
Til you get to me on my morningside
Let me down you say never baby blues don’t you ever
I’m used to being one with the misfortune to find
Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
What it looks like here on my morningside
Look back don’t you dare let me start to do that
I don’t care if the things that i have
Only make me afraid to lose i
Need to let go
Need to want to keep letting you know
That we both have a reason to follow
Long as we let this lead i’m barely breathing
I try to forget what you do to me but then you do it over again
I could rage like a fire and you’d bring rain
Til you get to me on my morningside
Let me down you say never baby blues don’t you ever
I’m used to being one with the misfortune to find
Afternoons run for cover and full moons just wonder
What it looks like here on my morningside

I could use another cigarette
But don’t worry daddy, I’m not addicted yet
One too many drinks tonight and I miss you
Like you were mine
All your stormy words have barely broken
And you sound like thunder though
You’ve barely spoken
Oh, it looks like rain tonight and thank God
‘Cause a clear sky just wouldn’t feel right.
[CHORUS]
He’s taken and leaving
But I keep believing
That he’s gonna come round soon
(He’ll come round soon I know)
You may be my final match
‘Cause I chase everything when you play
Throw and I play catch
It never took much to keep me satisfied
But all the bullshit you feed me you miss me
You need me
This hungry heart will not subside
[CHORUS]
He’s taken and leaving
But I keep believing
That he’s gonna come round soon
Until I see him again
I’m staying believing
That it won’t be deceiving
When he’s gonna come round
Well I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
Like I’m just one more tortured heart
These cracks that I show as I’m watching
You go aren’t tearing me apart
I may seem naive if I cry as you leave
Like I’m just one more tortured heart
These cracks that I show as I’m watching
You go aren’t tearing me apart

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they’re gone
A heart I’d swear I’d recognize is made out of
My own devices….
Could I be wrong?
[CHORUS]
The time that I’ve taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I’ll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I’ll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon
[CHORUS]
The time that I’ve taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don’t look don’t touch don’t do anything
But hope that there is a you.
The earth that is the space between,
I’d banish it from under me…to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary’s
Suicide…oh I wish I knew
[CHORUS]
The time that I’ve taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

There’ll be girls across the nation
That will eat this up babe
I know that it’s your soul but could you bottle it up and
Get down to the heart of it,
No it’s my heart you’re shit out of your luck
Don’t make me tell you again my love love love love.
Love love love love.
I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts
With her delicate soul
I don’t claim to know much except soon as you start
To make room for the parts
That aren’t you it gets harder to bloom in a garden of
Love love love love
Love Love love love
Only thing I ever could need, only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it’s
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love
We can understand the sentiment you’re saying to us
Oh,
But sensible sells so could you kindly shut up
And get started
At keeping your part of the bargain aw please
Little darlin’
You’re killing me sweetly with love love love love
Love love love love
Only thing I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for Love
Love
Love
Love
Started as a flicker meant to be a flame
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall
Baby’s getting next to nowhere with her back
Against the wall.
You meant to make me happy make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year
There is only one solution I can see here.
Love you’re all I ever could need only one good thing
Worth trying to be and it’s
Love
Love
Love
Love
I do it for love, love, love, love
Oh, only gonna get get what you give away,
So give love, love
Only gonna get get what you give away
Love.
