Hang On

Cassette rolls back
With the turn of a pencil tip
Alone again
Idle thoughts while I bite my lip
I’m just a girl
Starts playing through the stereo
You dream about
Being heard on the radio too
Dreams are hidden by shadow
Grasp at a future that’s not yet gone
Don a smile that’s just for show
Any day now the time will come
To sing your song
Hang on
Thirty six
Clock is ticking to prove your worth
Got writer's block
Always feeling that creative thirst
Julia
Aired her show at fifty one
It’s not too late
Don’t need anyone’s permission
Dreams are hidden by shadow
Grasp at a future that’s not yet gone
Don a smile that’s just for show
Any day now the time will come
To sing your song
Hang on
Don’t wait for encouraging words
It’s your life, now go and live it
Authenticity is always rewarded
Don’t ever quit
Dreams are hidden by shadow
Grasp at a future that’s not yet gone
Don a smile that’s just for show
Any day now the time will come
To sing your song
Hang on

Forgotten

Barely made it through Buffalo
So many miles yet to go
Eyelids heavy with fatigue and doubt
One more rest stop ‘til I call you out
Maybe if dollars were minutes
If time was infinite
You’d find a way to drive down
And meet me in beantown
Alone for far too long
Fading taste of your kiss
Only comfort is a song
I’ve forgotten what love is
Wrote my goodbye on a valentine
Mixed signals are a strength of mine
That year chocolate tasted bittersweet
Not as sour as feeling obsolete
Alone for far too long
Fading taste of your kiss
Only comfort is a song
I’ve forgotten
This call will disconnect
I’m tired of your disrespect
I’ll keep my frequent flyers
No time for a deadbeat liar
Alone for far too long
Fading taste of your kiss
Only comfort is a song
I’ve forgotten what love is

Mystery of You
03:07

|
I count the lines in your face
As the sun begins to wake
A faded story in your smile
I’ll stay and listen for a while
Until I solve the mystery of you
The mystery of you
Found your heart buried in stone
I chiseled out a little home
I’ll make diamonds from the coal
We’ll be rich as we grow old
By then I’ll solve the mystery of you
The mystery of you
We’ve both got skeletons to hide
Too many secrets trapped inside
The only one with whom I can confide
Is you
The mystery of you
The mystery of you
The mystery of you

Burns and Scars
02:53
|

|
When memories begin to fade
Pins and needles penetrate
The outer layer of my skin
I peel it back and let you in
I can’t feel pain anymore
These burns and scars
They’re all for you
Can’t you see the beauty
In what I do
When lust is all I have to hold
This burning flame feels so cold
Against my callused fingertips
Your love has made me sick
I can’t feel pain anymore
These burns and scars
They’re all for you
Can’t you see the beauty
In what I do

Unravel

Tattered piece of fabric
Once was the family quilt
Held all your secrets
Now they've come tumbling out
Weighed down by the pressure
Your mind burst at the seam
Burn out is so exhausting
I think you’re just like me
Pull a string
Fall apart
Unravel the story of your pattern
Start again
Redesign
Unravel the stitches of who you were
Familiar safety blanket
Folded on a sewing chair
I’ve tried to patch it
This time it can’t be repaired
Every thread tells a story
Times when I was in my head
Caught up in awkward moments
Knotted yarn without an end
Pull a string
Fall apart
Unravel the story of your pattern
Start again
Redesign
Unravel the stitches of who you were
