Two feet of snow fell last night Tucked us in close, with a blanket of white You’re sitting there reading or writing And all I want is a bit of fresh air At night, round here, all you hear is sirens They fill the air, singing stories of violence Right now, it’s calm, and I can hear you breathing near me I used to hear the birds so clearly Far from the city lights Far from those sleepless nights Far from the sirens call You calm it all You calm it all It’s raining now, and the last seven days A constant mist that hides from my gaze The stars above and their ever sweet light, I used to see them every night Far from the city lights Far from those sleepless nights Far from the sirens call You calm it all You calm it all You calm it all

Thinking 05:04
I've been thinking about The lies you've spun to gold with your mouth How they fall How they fall I've been thinking of the prints that you've left Between the thighs of other girls, between their breasts While I've been gone Trying still to hold on I’ve been trying far to long to know If I could do it, if I could let you go Go away There's nothing left for you to say That could ever make this okay I've been thinking of the secrets I've kept And there's somebody I don't know who's laying where you slept He looks like you With eyes of green or eyes of blue

Running 03:59
All I can hear is the rain on my roof And the light from the street lamps is barely slipping through The cracks in my curtains and the tint of the car It's a new kind of home I'm a new kind of far I followed Orion for three nights at least And the moon keeps on summoning me further east And the worst part is waking up alone each night But somehow I'm certain what I'm doing is right Say what you want to but I’m not running I’m not running away This morning when I woke up, I wrote my name in the dew And wondered, in this city, would I say I love you To a stranger or a lover, to someone that I could hold There’s no history, no past here, and I’m feeling bold Say what you want to but I’m not running I’m not running away

Naked 04:12
Take off my clothes, take off my makeup too Until you see my eyes, my uncloaked size The curves, the freckles, the bruises, the lies Take down my walls and look around the room Until you see the faces and all of the places Iloved, I lost, I dreamed, I tried Well I am standing here naked My dreams and my heartache laid out on the floor And all my mistakes are painted And perfectly hung by the door I’ve given you everything I have to give and more Now Ill give you my music, naked and sore Take back my words I never meant them that way I can’t express just how much I love feeling the touch Of your eyes, of your soul, of your pain, of your pride Take my time Tell me your story too I will give you my ears Take your joys and your tears This is one quick way of Giving you giving love Well I am standing here naked My dreams and my heartache laid out on the floor And all my mistakes are painted And perfectly hung by the door I’ve given you everything I have to give and more Now Ill give you my music, naked and sore 

Take one last look Hold on to all that you find Cause I’m here for tonight In the dark or the light But the moonbeams hold my dreams And it seems time to take flight

Aurora 03:39
Seems too good to be true The way the light is hitting you And the sun through the trees Casts the shadows of leaves On too good to be true, you Seems too right to be wrong Matching you to the lyrics of every love song And your laugh on the breeze Smells of lilacs to me Seems too right to be loving you Reaching out my hand, Mine freckled, yours tanned Take hold of me too Oh the things that we’ll do You loving me loving you Seems a moment lasts a day When you look at me that way And the light in your eyes Borealis of skies You put aurora to shame Reaching out my hand, Mine freckled, yours tanned Take hold of me too Oh the things that we’ll do You loving me loving you Someone out there far or near Wants to hold their lover near And as long as I can Next to you I will stand You loving me loving you And as long as I can Next to you I will stand You loving me loving you

The View 04:45
I did a dumb thing But I have no regrets Picked up my whole life And left behind my friends And my family too For a little French town Where I didn't know anybody So I could find my sound Well I did a new thing And it was fine for a while It was a new kind of life That brought a new kind of smile And a new kind of tears Cause when it rains there, it pours But the road is familiar Because I’ve been here before I may be headed home, chasing the sun But don't go thinking that I'm done It's another curve, around another bend And I can't tell where the road will end But I can tell you I really like the view Well I did a bold thing Not all people would do And as hard as it was There were good things there too I found a new love For myself and for art And I met a new person Very dear to my heart I may be headed home, chasing the sun But don't go thinking that I'm done It's another curve, around another bend And I can't tell where the road will end But I can tell you I really like the view I did a hard thing And I learned quite a lot About the things I don't need And the things I forgot I got lost on the way And I felt so alone And I know it's cliche But I think that I've grown I may be headed home, chasing the sun But don't go thinking that I'm done It's another curve, around another bend And I can't tell where the road will end But I can tell you But I can tell you But I can tell you I really love the view

Outside 04:09
I've been standing outside your window I've been knocking at your door I've been wondering if you can hear me But I can't stay wondering anymore I went dancing with Aurora Cried with lovers, howled at the moon I was dreaming, I was happy Pretending I was close to you I'm a full moon beauty baby I spin daydreams through the stars And I've been reaching out to hold you But you always seem so far You were so close, steadfast silent I was hiding in my wine Barefoot whispers on the night wind And I too scared to ask you to be mine I'm a full moon beauty baby I spin daydreams through the stars And I've been reaching out to hold you But you always seemed so far I've been reaching out to hold you Let me hold you in my heart

We stood beneath the blackest night With a half drunk bottle of red wine Skipping stones across the water Before we danced the night away And we wished upon a million dreams For all the things we would achieve Oh how the light does change When the stars look the other way I couldn’t breathe for the frosty air Though the laughter did do it’s fair share When the ice beneath our feet cracked And we ran slipping back for shore And I shared with you favourite view Where the colours stole a breath from you Oh how the light does change When the seasons slip away How I love the warmth of sunrise And the coolness of the moon The golden hour of evening And watching stars come into view How I love the glow of firelight And I know you loved it too But how the light does change When it can’t be shared with you It’s the time of year where the colours turn And the leaves of green begin to burn I can’t control the feelings So I’ll let them run away But I’ll hold tight to the mountain light And a winter lake and a stormy night Oh how the light does change When the seasons slip away Away
