Let It Go

I put my wishes in a piggy bank
I’ve hoped too hard for this to simply be handed away
I knew six months ago something wasn’t right
But I was captured by the thought of what might be
I’ve never been patient and I chose not to wait
Casting you in a superficial role, I led my way
I taunted You when I feigned humility
You said that you want all of me
Let it go
Let it go
That’s how we grow
I stare at dreams that have been taken away
Superimpose myself in pictures where I have no place
If I could go back now and do it again
Would I trade what I had for what could have been?
Let it go
Let it go
That’s how we grow
I heard you call and so I turned around
You know what’s best for me, so why would I settle down here?
Tired of manipulating, all that I want is peace
It takes a while to see the beauty in release

I can't get you off of my hands
Like a stain I wear the blood of a man
who knew too much of what I am
Can't get you off of my hands
I can't get you out of my mind
and I search the desert only to find
I taste you like a bitter wine
Can't get you out of my mind
I can't get you off of my tongue
when they ask if I say you are the one
and I cannot hide, but still I run
Can't get you off of my tongue
Run on, run on as though he's gone
You cannot know
how much more you'll take
'til the binding breaks
tell me, how far do you think you can go
I can't get you under my feet
and I walk like I have fallen asleep
while I give away what you would keep
Can't get you under my feet
I can't stop the pain in my chest
but I push the ground and draw in my breath
'til I lose whatever strength is left
The pain is burning my chest

Still Motion

You’ve got a rhythm in your movement and it’s moving me
You tell me that you don’t dance but your eyes say differently
Music without words
Motion when you’re still
I’ve got a feeling that you’re more than what you’ll let me see
Oh, when it’s only you that’s holding you back I hope you’ll set it free
You’ve had a lot of time to wonder where you’re going next
You tell me that you don’t think there’s a road to happiness
Walk a jagged line
Looking at both sides
I’ve got a feeling that you’re tired of so much restlessness
Oh, when there’s nothing that is holding you back then where will you be
Are you scared of living a lie
Or losing that much time
Are you waiting for a sign

The Trouble

When she busted in the room and said to get out
and the fire in her eyes was flickering
Didn't hesitate to lock the door behind me
I don't envy him the trouble that he's in
She was well past pacifying with excuses
and was not about to hear him out again
Well it seems he's got himself a situation
I don't envy him the trouble that he's in
You've got a lot of explaining to do in the wrong place, at the wrong time
All that was ever expected of you was to keep yourself in line
You know that the problem is not mine
I am not the kind to usher in division
And the accusations crawl under my skin
Now I can't shake off the bad association
I don't envy him the trouble that he's in
You've got a lot of explaining to do in the wrong place, at the wrong time
All that was ever expected of you was to keep yourself in line
You know that the problem is not mine
I was long gone before a word was spoken
Understanding was impossible by then
If a promise he had made was somehow broken
I don't envy him the trouble that he's in

Why’d you have to go
down the river alone
leaving me
I miss you, love
On the shore I stay
I know no other way
than a ring weighing more than I can hold
solid gold
Take me with you into waters deep for pardon
Where I find your breath is where you'll find my heart
My finest dress is on
You didn't see it before you'd gone
Oh, but I still wait
Even if you're late
Here, the sun is set
My mouth is dry and my feet are wet
How close can I get to where you are
It's just a little too far
Take me with you into waters deep for pardon
Where I find your breath is where you'll find my heart
They tell me you have gone away
and I have learned to live with that
But I can't bear to hear them say
that you're not coming back

I have been waiting for you
to look at me
the way you look
when
You talk about how your mind lit up
and breath drew in
with hers
and I can wait
I spent my time in the arms
of those who offered nothing
more than
faded illusions of answers
to the question that is you
and I can wait
When I fall asleep, you say
you have been waiting for me
and I can wait
for a long time
When I fall asleep, you say
you have been waiting,
and I smile,
unweighted,
at finding something like relief

To Know
03:15
|

|
I want you to know
I meant every word that I said to you
I want you to feel a place without eloquence
I want you to know that I was wrong
Wrong
Oh, I was wrong
You’re not one for words
I’m not one to wait here for very long
Some call silence faith
I call it no evidence
I want you to know that I was wrong
Wrong
Oh, I was wrong
I want you to know that I don’t feel anything when you’re gone

Gigi and Ninja

Gigi the Penguin and Ninja the Turtle were different as they could be
But Gigi the Penguin asked Ninja the Turtle, "will you be friends with me?"
Penguins like group hugs
Turtles like to hide
But Gigi knows that Ninja
is special deep inside
Penguins wear a tux
Turtles wear a shell
But Gigi and Ninja still go together well
Penguins cannot fly
Turtles cannot run
But Gigi and Ninja
still have lots of fun!
