Relationship Parts
Am I just being cautious
or am I being closed off?
Am I being careful
or scared of getting cast off?
It's a little unlike me
not to just blast off
I'm a lead foot kind of lover
it's all go, go, go, open road
I think that I'm afraid to feel
something for you that's not casual
cause every guy before when I have
that's when I started to feel him pull
I don't want somebody to heal me
I can get whole all on my own
but I can admit that I miss the closeness
of having someone feel like home
It gets a little...

Rise, Survive, Repeat
I've got dogs at my throat
but even without I'd still choke
down the memories I'd be leaving
in the spot my body lies
I'm an unraveled doll
barely traveled at all
and if I know one thing
I am still too young to die
So if the sun rises
so do I, no surprises
I've always been a scrappy girl
and when the moon takes the stage
I'll dance the night away
I've always been a dancing girl
I rise, survive and move my feet
it's all rise, survive, and repeat
He said, I tasted like pie
and I saw maps in his eyes
leading...
but even without I'd still choke
down the memories I'd be leaving
in the spot my body lies
I'm an unraveled doll
barely traveled at all
and if I know one thing
I am still too young to die
So if the sun rises
so do I, no surprises
I've always been a scrappy girl
and when the moon takes the stage
I'll dance the night away
I've always been a dancing girl

The Connection
He makes me feel sexy like Monroe
but says that I'm classy like Hepburn.
Tells me I move like Grace Kelly
even when I'm being clumsy.
Opened my eyes back in the bedroom,
he tied me up and I was set free.
With his hands up against my neck
you could say that I caught a thief.
We don't ask and we don't tell,
do what we want cause what the hell.
Young and pretty in the city,
dirty minds and dirty dresses
dark corners, shady confessions.
Two people from different directions
coming together, the connection.
...
but says that I'm classy like Hepburn.

Ego
She left her jacket in the rain
she dropped it and ran right away
She's not the one you wanted
but she's the one who showed up.
You're just another sad boy
you've got a laundry list for why.
You think that you're sensitive
Because that one time you cried.
I think your head is spinning off
I think your ego is too big.
I don't know why you're asking me
what I think but since you did
you can hide in as many hearts as you can
you're still as alone as you've ever been.
She left her earrings on your floor
so...
she dropped it and ran right away
She's not the one you wanted
but she's the one who showed up.
You're just another sad boy
you've got a laundry list for why.
You think that you're sensitive
Because that one time you cried.
I think your head is spinning off
I think your ego is too big.
I don't know why you're asking me
what I think but since you did
you can hide in as many hearts as you can
you're still as alone as you've ever been.

Damage Proof
Well I'm looking at my life
and I don't know when it happened
but I stopped crying over you
and I started laughing.
Faking it started to feel real,
you started to feel far away,
and I know it's a good thing
but babe it's still hard to say.
I love with reckless abandon
and you know that I loved you
I'm glad you cut the ropes though
some things are meant to fall through.
I feel a little wiser
now that I'm feeling less pain,
thanks for keeping your distance
and not calling me again.
I...

Wandering Hands
I am more than this moment
more than what I'm feeling now.
I know I'm not clear headed
I can't see through the let down.
I wake up and I start to ache
I tell myself it's not that bad
because if he doesn't want me
then I am not his to be had.
In a way I'm glad I'm older
because if I were still twenty
all these things that I'm feeling
might have damn near killed me.
I know that you need your space
so I'm saying this to my wall.
I would have done anything for you
and this is the hardest of all.
All the things that you...
more than what I'm feeling now.
I know I'm not clear headed
I can't see through the let down.
I wake up and I start to ache
I tell myself it's not that bad
because if he doesn't want me
then I am not his to be had.

One Man Island (Clue)
I've never been too good at games,
I used to cheat while playing clue,
but I've always been honest in love
and I've always been honest with you.
I never really caught on to math,
Or solving problems in my head,
but I can understand you,
and the things you've never said.
I don’t want you to worry,
or to feel all alone.
You’re not on a one man island,
I wish you’d speak in happy tones.
It hurts me to see you hurting,
when I love you this damn much.
It makes me feel like crying
because I wonder if I’m enough.
We went...
I used to cheat while playing clue,

I don’t want you to worry,
or to feel all alone.

Twenty-One
I still think that I made it up,
one day you'll just drive on up.
Tell me I've been so dramatic,
and that maybe while I'm at it,
to loosen up, take it easy,
so I don't drive myself crazy.
It was good advice,
and I've been doing fine
but I've been missing you lately.
Every year like clock work,
this time you would have been twenty-one.
You used to wear pink, and now you wear white,
I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight.
God knows, you would have been so much fun,
this time you would have been twenty-one.
I have a drink...
one day you'll just drive on up.
Tell me I've been so dramatic,
and that maybe while I'm at it,
to loosen up, take it easy,
so I don't drive myself crazy.
It was good advice,

Personally
I'm staring up at my ceiling fan,
biting my lip, trying to understand,
what you're saying, where you're coming from
and fighting my instinct to run.
Just because things have gotten hard,
doesn't mean I want to drop my cards.
I'm a fighter, I was built for wars,
and you are the one worth fighting for.
I'll try not to take it personally,
have a little faith that it's not me.
Wanting to give me what you don't have,
when all I want's for you not to be sad.
Fighting the darkess, holding on tight
loving me so much, but not...
biting my lip, trying to understand,
what you're saying, where you're coming from

What That Means
Tell me that's not what you're thinking,
please let it be anything but that.
Never before did I understand,
the phrase at the drop of a hat.
So you had better leave my dog,
no, I'm not gonna help you pack
and just so you know, once you go,
there's no such thing as coming back.
and I'd say a few more words
but I think I left the oven on.
I know you see right through that,
but now I just want you gone.
So don't try to drag it out,
or make it some big scene.
If you don't love me, you don't love me,
and baby, I know what that...
please let it be anything but that.
Never before did I understand,

So you had better leave my dog,

The Cavalry
I need higher ground,
too long I've been too far down.
I need peace of mind,
too long side stepping land mines.
I'm not right, right now
too much has been taken down,
and I'm not myself
but the issue is on the shelf.
I am not wound up,
but I sort of feel ground up.
What is safe and sound?
but the promise of a let down?
So don't say it now,
I don't need that kind of talk.
Save it for the innocent,
I'm too far down the walk.
I'm not asking for too much,
and I don't care what kind it is,
but...
too long I've been too far down.
I need peace of mind,
too long side stepping land mines.
I'm not right, right now
too much has been taken down,
and I'm not myself
but the issue is on the shelf.
I am not wound up,
but I sort of feel ground up.
What is safe and sound?
but the promise of a let down?
So don't say it now,
I don't need that kind of talk.
Save it for the innocent,
I'm too far down the walk.

Trip & Fall
Take a piece of me,
and dress it up nice on a plate.
Take a bite of me,
tell em' it's the best you've ever ate.
Don't you lie to me,
I want to trust all that you say.
Please be kind to me,
don't use me and throw me away.
In the name of being open
and stripped down to my soul.
I'll hold my breath and count down
and then let go of control
of these words I've kept close
but no longer want to hold.
I just want to fall in love with you
do the trip and fall and skip the bruise.
I'm ready to light it up, spark...
and dress it up nice on a plate.
Take a bite of me,
tell em' it's the best you've ever ate.
Don't you lie to me,
I want to trust all that you say.
Please be kind to me,
don't use me and throw me away.
In the name of being open
and stripped down to my soul.
I'll hold my breath and count down
and then let go of control
of these words I've kept close
but no longer want to hold.
I just want to fall in love with you
do the trip and fall and skip the bruise.
I'm ready to light it up, spark...
