Parallel lines
The story of you and I
At least they stay close for as long as they go
Close, but they never cross, they never touch
Right there, yet out of reach
You’re out of my reach
Another patient love
Only slightly cracked
Getting tired of
Another patient love
Another patient love
Look at this mess
We made it ourselves
Did you mean what you said, the time that we talked?
Thought those three words were reality
Pretty lies, just out of reach
Love’s out of my reach
Another patient love
Only slightly cracked
Getting tired of
Another patient love
Another patient love
The sidewalk outside crumbling
Death like dust crashes
Darkly though the pane
I hear you say you say
You say you say
Another patient love
Only slightly cracked
You and I must trust
Another patient love
Another patient love
Another patient love

I wrote you a letter
I wrote you a letter
My writing’s got better
To tell you you’re my girl
I think you’re so special
And in my confessional
And in my confessional
I wrote this song for you
She lives in a tent under the stars
Her eyes are hearts/ she’s in my heart
She’s behind bars
But she sets me free
I wrote you a letter
I wrote you a letter
To make you feel better
To say I believe in you
And if I go missing
And if I go missing
Or if I am dead
I don’t have any regrets
She lives in a tent under the stars
Her eyes are hearts/ she’s in my heart
She’s behind bars
But she sets me free
But why are you so far away?
Why are you so far away?
Why are you so far away from me?

Under the sun/ under the morning sun
Year one/ all that glitters
All that glitters
Starry night/ the big dark sky
Land beyond the river/ all that glitters
All that glitters/ all that glitters/ all that glitters
There’s a sparrow in the house at the end of the world
The last one home
Love letters in the land beyond the river
Home free/ in the heart
Of the sea/ a river for the living
For the living
Never alone/ the color of rain
In the midst of faith, hope and love
Faith hope and love
There’s a sparrow in the house at the end of the world
The last one home
Love letters in the land beyond the river
Thanks to you
There’s a sparrow in the house at the end of the world

You saw somethin’ in me, and I saw somethin’ in you
Somehow I knew, it had to be you
Into the blue; Into the blue
All it took was a spark, somehow you ignited my heart
I knew we’d be together
Somewhere into the blue
Saw you up on the stage, singing so fine
Someday in time, I knew you’d be mine.
Into the blue; Into the blue
All it took was a spark, somehow you ignited my heart
I knew we’d be together
Somewhere into the blue
Somewhere / into the blue
Something in the way he moved
Something in the way she moved me
All it took was a spark, somehow you ignited my heart
I knew we’d be together
Somewhere into the blue
Somewhere into the blue
Somewhere into the blue

The boy next door says that we have never met before
We were never friends when we were younger
But I remember in the summer watching movies on my projector
And in the fall I used to think I had it all
And then the winter came, we hung out in the snow
If I only had known
The boy next door, doesn’t live here anymore
But lately I’ve been walking by his door
Wondering where he’s gone
The boy next door doesn’t recognize me anymore
And I’m starting to feel the same
The other day he said some things that I can’t quite believe he would ever say about me
I changed myself for you, such a stupid thing to do
You can’t keep up with someone who’s moving away from you
The boy next door, doesn’t live here anymore
But lately I’ve been walking by his door
Wondering where he’s gone
And if you see him, tell him I’m sad, but I’m fine, I’ll be fine, I’m not fine
And if you see him, tell him that I’m still here, but I’m not waiting
So don’t start a fire if you don’t wanna burn
I guess that I will never learn
You’re not the boy that I thought you were before
So who do I keep waiting for?
He doesn’t live here anymore
But lately I’ve been walking by his door
Wondering where he’s gone (doesn’t mean that I feel the same way that I did before)
The boy next door, he doesn’t live here anymore
But lately I’ve been walking by his door
Wondering where he’s gone

Eclipse/ the wide-mouthed frog/ a force of nature/ left behind
The eighth day/ the evening and the morning/ the woman in the window/ a river runs through it
It…it…it…
Anything for Billy/ Anything for Billy/ Anything for Billy/ Anything at all
Anything for Billy/ Anything for Billy/ Anything for Billy/ Anything
Sweet tomorrows/ the long walk home/ lady midnight/ waiting to exhale
Little Dorrit/ Gwendy’s button box/ duck on a bike/ into the storm
The hostage/ the hostage/ The hostage/ the hostage
The hostage/ the hostage/ The hostage/ the hostage
The hostage/ the hostage/ The hostage/ the hostage
The hostage/ the hostage/ The hostage/ the hostage

My best friend, my best friend, you’re the best
Moon-dance where the wild things are
All kinds of kids go out and play
And the Lorax protects the trees
My best friend, you’re the best
The tooth book, a cuddle for little duck
My new friend so fun
The look book, and Oscar loves
Oscar loves you too
My best friend
You’re lost in the woods, like a blue chicken
You’re lost in the woods but you can do it
You can do it!!!!!
Cuz you’re my best friend, my best friend—you’re the best
You’re my best friend, my best friend, my best friend—you’re the best

Where'd You Go - A.I.

Where’d you go/ behind closed doors
Silver star/ troubled blood
Kill me if you can/ any dream will do
Desert star/ wait for what will come
The consequences of fear
Someone to watch
Over me-----
Into the fire/ But all we want
Somewhere safe with somebody good
The people on the hill/ the lucky ones
Feel the same/ wait for what will come
The consequences of fear
Someone to watch
Over me-----
Here you are/ open door
Silver star
Shining bright again

Things are altered in a shadow
You don’t see the full picture
And when that color’s black and white
You may not wanna fix her
Kind eyes are blind without a light
You only see the side view
And once the night is primed and right
You may not wanna see it through
And if I’m ever wrong
I don’t think any of this was planned
Were just palm trees on the beach
Droppin our leaves onto the sand
And if I’m wrong
Then honesty is my stand
Count the stars in the sky
What do you think will happen?
When the world is drained of all
Fun and ever-loving…
Crazy eyes and crazy cries
When you are down to nothing
Crazy lies hypnotize
And leave you wondering
I lie in my bed wide awake my mind repeating every mistake
The one thing I’m left with are all these questions
Like who or what or why
And if I’m ever wrong
I don’t think any of this was planned
Were just palm trees on the beach
Droppin our leaves onto the sand
And if I’m wrong
Then honesty is my stand
And if I’m ever wrong
I don’t think any of this was planned
Were just palm trees on the beach
Droppin our leaves onto the sand
And if I’m wrong
Then honesty is my stand

Walking in a canopy of trees
In the light that is broken by the leaves
I can see your face in the window of the train
As it leaves me
Standing on the platform all alone
Wondering if you’re ever coming home
Got your guitar and your book of chords and poems
That we wrote when we were bored
You said, you said you’d always be right by my side
Holding onto my hand while I cried
Now I’m walking home alone
Past the room you used to call your own
Mom gave me the letter that you wrote
Said you haven’t been this happy in soooo long
Told me all about your friends and the time you lost your coat
In the storm
And if you’re not coming back
Oh you know that I’ll be sad
But I’m not gonna hold you back back back
You said you’d always come back to my side
Holding onto to my hand ‘til we died
Now I’m waking up alone
In the house that used to be your home

How they wish to stumble when they feel
So many dreams have led them there
How they wish to stumble when they feel
So many dreams have led them there------------
Lost in the woods
The endless path
How many dead
That we may follow
Where they’ve led
Everything that lives learns to love
Memory makes everything call us
Everything that lives learns to love
Memory makes everything call us-------------
Searching for the light
Tangled in the night
Charms that possess
Beautiful stories
They find the end
Found our way we found our way we found way we found our way
We thought that we were led astray; we thought that we were led astray
But now are thoughts are here to stay, now are thoughts are here to stay
All together/ all together/ all together now (x 1million)

Midnight firefly
All the light, all the light, all the light
We cannot see, we cannot, we cannot see
Lost light/ the dark on the other side
Sparing partners/ killing time
We cannot see, we cannot, we cannot see
The dark half; the world we knew
A flicker in the dark, east of the mountains
It starts with us/ it starts with us
We’re the light/ we’re the light
That we cannot see, we cannot, we cannot see
That we cannot see, we cannot, we cannot see

We so tired, we so tired, we so tired, so tired
First yawn, nursery rhymes/ good night my angel
Bed time stories on stone/ why’d the chicken cross the road?
To get to his bed
Cuz he so tired, we so tired, we so tired, so tired
Close your eyes/ a silly lullaby/ all aboard/ we all go to sleep
Stay out of the basement/ something’s waiting in the dark/ bodies from the ash/ shadow and bone---
But we so tired, we so tired, we so tired, so tired
We so tired, we so tired, we so tired, we so-------------------------
Awake!!!!!!!!!

Lost in a crowd of painted smiles
Searching for something that’s worthwhile
Caught up in a world that’s moving fast
So honey, let’s make this moment last
Mirrors whisper secrets in your ear
But they can’t show you what is real, my dear
Don’t let the voices steal your light
You’re shining bright, let’s take flight
We’re dancing through the night
In our own spotlight
Embrace who you are
You’re a shining star
Filters try to change your hue
But your true colors are what’s true
Perfection’s just a fleeting dream
You’re beautiful, don’t you see?
Gotta drown out the noise that’s loud
Stand tall, make your own crowd
You’re a masterpiece, a work of art
Let that love shine from your heart
We’re dancing through the night
In our own spotlight
Embrace who you are
You’re a shining star
You’re a shining star
You’re a shining star
You’re a shining star
You’re the melody that’s never old
It’s your story let it be told
You’re the rhythm of your own song
Loving yourself, that’s where you belong
We’re dancing through the night
In our own spotlight
Embrace who you are
We’re dancing through the night
In our own spotlight
Embrace who you are/ you’re a shining star x4

Pour my soul in your hands
Let me rest / let me rest
I was talking to God last night
I was asking him
To hear my side
While convincing myself I was right
But why am I acting so defensive
When all you’re trying to do is point me in the right direction
All you’re trying to do is offer me protection
From myself
How am I supposed to change
If I’m fighting to stay the same
The world all around me in flames
Am I the water or the match?
When I’m burning down
Am I burning out
Or am I rising from the ashes?
Why am I acting so defensive
When all you’re trying to do is point me in the right direction
All you’re trying to do is offer me protection
From myself…
Myself
I don’t to hurt myself
Pour my soul in your hands
Let me rest/ let me rest
I know you, I can trust, even when
I’m not listenin’
I’m not making sense
I still know that you’re my friend
So why am I acting so defensive
When all you’re trying to do is point me in the right direction
All you’re trying to do is offer me protection
From myself

Undone - Hannah Coffin

Been thinking about the difference
Between joy and happiness
And the day I realized you and I
Were never meant to last
Been thinking about the last time
You and I were in the sunshine
On the porch swing in the mist of May
Waiting for a summer day
Waiting for a summer day
You’re sweet anger, and bitter kindness
Left me thinking I was selfish
But reality hits like blindness
Staring at the sun, oh it had to be undone
I had to look away cuz the goods ones never stay
We weren’t meant to spend our lives this way
We’re still undone, and that’s what keeps us
Going on
Undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone, we’re still undone
Your calm distress, your furious regret
Kept me wondering if I held you back
Oh my mind, my mind draws blank
Every time I ask what went wrong
I had to look away cuz the goods ones never stay
We weren’t meant to spend our lives this way
We’re still undone, and that’s what keeps us
Going on
We are never done
Falling in love
We are never done
Coming undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone, we’re still undone
Undone, undone, undone
Undone, undone, we are never done

Summer beginning
With bursts of life
Sunshine growing familiar
With leaves on trees
Hope floods my heart
Maybe everything will be okay
Watching before eyes
Stars draw forth
Twin eyes watching
My too blue dusk
Hope floods my heart
Maybe everything will be okay
Heart
Heart
Heart
Heart
Hope floods my heart
Maybe everything will be okay
