Dance Away

VERSE
Freedom tastes just as good on my lips
as you once did
Freedom breathes just as sweetly
or perhaps moreso
As it rains inside
I can see all the light
It sparkles down and trickles in
I just can’t leave you without a fight
But at least I see without film
CHORUS
Bend then hold then dance away
They say it makes me stronger
Fold my heart and lock it away
I’ll be damned to hurt longer
Bend then hold then dance away
They say it makes me stronger
Fold my heart and lock it away
I’ll be damned to hurt longer
Give her a new page and she’ll write all over it
but I’ll never ask her to stay
Cord is stripped I stand alone
Your prizes won, your gains acquired
But do you really have what you desire?
INTERLUDE
Bend, don’t break
Love with your ears, your arms, your mouth
Live for you
And never stray
Bend, don’t break
Love with your ears, your arms, your mouth
Live for you
And never sway

VERSE 1
Lead: Cards fall in shades of three
Backup: Like strands of your hair, wound through my fingertips
Lead: With all of your stolen parts
Backup: You’d think they’d be able to find you
Lead: But they can’t
Backup: So I will
Lead: Knowing you is half of what
Backup: Makes my hands move in time
Lead: If you were only able to see
Backup: Through your inconsistency
Lead: But you can’t
CHORUS
push and pull
lips eyes wait stop
and fall to me
I know you’ll see
apart from me
there is no one
that sees what you’ll be
and then you say
wait for me
lips eyes wait stop
and fall to me
VERSE 2
Lead: I know I can never be
Backup: The girl you want or what you need
Lead: stopping before you even start
Backup: what’s the point, you’ll never see
Lead: so you can’t
Backup: but I will
Lead: it doesn’t matter anyway
Backup: you’ll fall again, again my prey
Lead: I’m too kind to let you go
Backup: or perhaps not enough to let you know

VERSE
I wait, watch, and see
the stones fall from the sky.
I think you ought to feel
more pearls than I can breathe.
Time can’t take my eyes from me;
my heart stays the same.
Blur the world into a thousand raindrops--
I see you clearly.
Listen to the words melt into small time capsules;
sync your tongue to mine.
Show me the kindness of your careless glance--
you pull me so brightly.
CHORUS
Collapse our thoughts into one wordless look
to see you always beside me.
Hooks that spell our days until all we can see is timelessness;
I dream best with you.
BRIDGE
Impossible all I know is you
We have never met
But I’ve known you before
Unbelievable all I need is you
When you move it’s like
I feel you in my skin
Uncontrollable all I want is you
Dreamt you into life
we’ve done this a thousand times
Unstoppable all I see is you
We’re not ready yet
but (together) the story has started now

Words to Seduce You
05:10
|
|||
VERSE 1
always two to choose but seven choices to make
write the wrongs of it in your book
I’ll always be just a novel to you
you only want what is too late
CHORUS
you asked me to use words to seduce you
and music is my voice and pen
my weapon the place I look when I have fallen and the time I see when I wake up
VERSE 2
break in three can’t seem to find
what exactly is in a mind
felt since birth but clear at last
million shards of her falling past
VERSE 3
face and lip to see the truth in me
you only make what you can't need

Not Close Enough
03:14
|

VERSE 1
I can’t turn you off
and you’re not here to turn on
I can’t lift my head
and not know you’re there
in the corner around the bend of my thoughts
staring at me in the dark
(but) not thinking of me near enough
CHORUS
Give me half a thought
You’ll never go back
Give me half a thought
You’ll never go back
VERSE 2
I can’t let you go
when you want nothing but to come
I can’t kiss on her
when I feel you there
in the corner around the bend of my thoughts
reaching for me in the dark
(but) not nearly close enough
BRIDGE
See me, know me, breathe me, breathe me
See me, know me, breathe me
