Don’t Want to Get Stuck Here

Saying goodbye to friends and bonfire nights

sneaking kisses ‘neath a harvest moon

But it’s not so much “farewell,” as “guys, I’ll see you later”

There’s just something that I need to do

 

Got a fire in my belly to take on the world

So leaving here is going to have to be

But as I shape my future, where ever it leads

I’ll always know how these hills shaped me

 

I need a new sound and a new direction

Pack my bags up, maybe go to Berlin

This town’s been kind, been a wonderful place to grow up

Just don’t want to get stuck here, like my mama did (like our mamas did)

 

Why don’t you come see me when I’m all settled in

When I’m street wise and have it all figured out

I admit my palms feel a little sweaty

Not knowing what it’s gonna be about

 

But I’ve got my guitar and a story to tell

A heart that breaks a little easier than it mends

May be a cliché – country girl going to the big city

But I’ll be living it up there before the summer ends

 

Something’s gonna have to give

For me to learn how to live

 

I Need a new sound and a new direction

Pack my bags up, maybe go to Berlin

This town’s been kind, been a wonderful place to grow up

Just don’t want to get stuck here

I need a new sound and a new direction

Pack my bags up, maybe go to Berlin

This town’s been kind, been a wonderful place to grow up

Just don’t want to get stuck here

Just don’t want to get stuck here

Just don’t want to get stuck here, like my mama did

 

 

 

Will It Ever Be?

 I woke up

In the middle of

All my friends were getting new ID’s

 

And they lost their names

Just to change the frame

So that it would fit a baby too

 

Love is in the air

And they’re all prepared

To announce this is the rest of their lives

 

How I wish I, knew what to think

They look so happy, wrapped up in pink

It’s not right now, when will it come?

Will it ever be, true love?

 

So now I pretend

That it’s not the end

But I know theese friends are bound to change

 

It’s the different talk

And the stroller walk

You’ve got a new grown glow inside your eyes

 

While I smiled and laughed

Looking at the past

Thinking we will never get it back

 

How I wish I, knew what to think

They look so happy, wrapped up in pink

It’s not right now, when will it come?

Will it ever be, true love?

 

Do I need some rules

Maybe I’m the fool

Taking every next step way too slow

It’s a different world

Will I be that girl

Who got beaten by the job she loved

 

When I meet that guy

Will I bear in mind

That the folks I know they didn’t last

 

How I wish I, knew what to think

They look so happy, wrapped up in pink

It’s not right now, when will it come?

Will it ever be, true love?

 

 

My last farewell

 

Going up this hill there’s a long way back

I really hope that this is my track

Leaving here, got a few things to fear

 

But I chose to quit that old thick haze

Could it be written in my faith

Leaving here, the future is near

 

This will be my last farewell

My last farewell

 

I’m prepared to meet all that might come

It’s a part of life when moving on

Now I’m here, with you my dear

 

And I know that I can be that one

Climbing all the way to get it done

Now I’m here, I see it all clear

 

This will be my last farewell

My last farewell

 

To you…

I always, always knew

 

I’m so sure that I’ve done this right

Never will I be left outside

I’ll stay here, for so many years

 

This will be my last farewell

My last farewell

 

Let Them Come

You’ve got yours and I’ve got mine

Different futures different lives

We will go, go

 

Nothing starts where nothing ends

Drop your life to spare your friends

When you leave, leave

 

We will

Raise the flag to show we’re here

Clear the way and be prepared

Let them come

Cause we got lots of space

and love for those

Who fell along the deep dark roads

Let them come, to the sound of the drum

 

Be a man and throw yourself

For your country, pray it helps

When you fall, fall

 

Say you’ve concurred say you’ve won

Will you recognize your son

When you come, come home

 

We will

Raise the flag to show we’re here

Clear the way and be prepared

Let them come

Cause we got lots of space

and love for those

Who fell along the deep dark roads

Let them come, to the sound of the drum

 

Someone has to go

Fight for tomorrow

Hero or a fool

I just wish it wasn’t you

 

We will

Raise the flag to show we’re here

Clear the way and be prepared

Let them come

Cause we got lots of space

and love for those

Who fell along the deep dark roads

Let them come, to the sound of the drum

 

Sing

Every word I heard was true
The radio reminded me of you
Singing me a love song with a voice so sweet I’m not alone
Now and then they bring bad news
Then someone will wash away my blues
Singing me a love song with a voice so sweet I’m not alone

When we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Hearts give in to everything
Love will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Dreams begin when we sing

Words can be a helping hand
But sometimes you do not understand
Come sing me a love song with a voice that sweet
Then I’ll get home

When we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Hearts give in to everything
Love will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Dreams begin when we sing

Won’t give you up now
Won’t try to fight feelings in my heart
Won’t try to fight now
Won’t try to hide memories of love
So let them sing of you
Tonight, I pray
When the echo of love cries your name
The song won’t have no meaning, if it ain’t ‘bout you
So here beneath the stars I pray

When we sing
Sing, sing, sing
Hearts give in to everything
Love will sing
Sing, sing, sing
Dreams begin when we sing

Another Rose

If I am a rose
Beautiful and free
Then you got to let me grow
Don’t cut me down for keeps

Do you remember sunny days in the
past? Swaying with the daisies in the
newly cut grass? I grew on you and
turned out to be something at last
So please remember

Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready
Let me be free out in the light
And you won’t have to find yourself
another rose

Don’t dig me a hole
The sun can’t find me
Boy you got to let me grow
So beautiful and free

Do you remember sunny days in the
past? Swaying with the daisies in the
newly cut grass? I grew and grew and
turned out to be something so fast
So please remember

Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready
Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready.
Let me be free out in the light
And you won’t have to find yourself
another rose

We used to be a perfect summer
But now we’re only clouds of thunder
Don’t keep me down I’m going under now
Don’t keep me down

Stay here with me, just for the night
Tomorrow I’ll be ready
Let me be free out in the light
And you won’t have to find yourself
another
Find another rose…
You won’t have to find yourself another
rose

The Frozen Lake

I went down to the lake today
To see the snowflakes, make their way down
To a common ground

It carried all of my thoughts away
Into the icing cold of the fairway
Going round and round

Quietly beauty to embrace
The old crumbled tree is giving everything for free
So quietly beauty to embrace
It’s all around if you search to find

Everything was standing still
Birds who try to comfort me in this cold
Want me to let go

Giving in to a higher ground
Show me signs so I won’t waste more time
I am alive

Quietly beauty to embrace
The old crumbled tree is giving everything for free
So quietly beauty to embrace
It’s all around if you search to find

Let me show you
How to control this crazy world
Let me teach you
How to invest in peace and calm
Let me take you
To this amazing country field
I don’t want you to lose your faith

Quietly beauty to embrace
The old crumbled tree is giving everything for free
So quietly beauty to embrace
It’s all around if you search to find

In my blood

I have always trusted you, to find the secret way through yourself
I have always taught you not to listen to what they say
And I have always felt you through the layers you have made
I have always loved you, since the day you were brought home to me

Let me take you to the place, where my heart’s beating
Let me show you what it’s like to have these feelings
I don’t know if it’s useful in any way
But you should see what’s in my blood, in my mind

You have always heard me on the darkest of days
You have always fought for me that’s the loyalty you gave
And you have always kept me, though we went different ways
You have always loved me, you’re the one I won’t loose

Let me take you to the place, where my heart’s beating
Let me show you what it’s like to have these feelings
I don’t know if it’s useful in any way
But you should see what’s in my blood in my mind

solo

Let me take you to the place, where my heart’s beating
Let me show you what it’s like to have these feelings
I don’t know if it’s useful in any way
But you should see what’s in my blood in my mind

Let me take you to the place, where my heart’s beating
Let me show you what it’s like to have these feelings
I don’t know if it’s useful in any way
But you should see what’s in my blood in my mind

Unite

Everybody’s trying to control us
Every place we turn is a distraction
The world has never been better at reaching us
Forcing constant confusion
It’s a tough place, to feel truly safe
When everyone has a chance to destroy
Buildings, cities they choose their place
What can we do to avoid this pain?

If we try
We can stand together in this war
If we try
We can bring back the world to before

Feeling helpless as one in a billion
How to help and where to start
We can’t fear that million of people
Without a beating heart
As soon as we give in on their war
They have won the battle for real
Our daily life must be lived as before
No one will tell how we should feel

If we try
We can stand together in this war
If we try
We can bring back the world to before

Let us all unite so we can win this fight
Let us all unite we will stand strong tonight
Let us all unite so we can win this fight

If we try
We can stand together in this war
If we try
We can bring back the world to before

Nightmares

Sitting on a light blue sky
Watching all the peeps saying goodbye
Sure that I won’t be one
To catch and run

I am watching all day long
Everybody is singing my song
They have hope but no one
To be their one

It’s all the nightmares that I have had
They seem to get in the way they seem to lead the way
To all my answers though I’ll never get
How love can disappear when it’s not really there

I’m not drunk but realistic
I won’t let this clock control my ticks
Even if it could be
I would not see

It’s all the nightmares that I have had
They seem to get in the way they seem to lead the way
To all my answers though I’ll never get
How love can disappear when it’s not really there

No cause it never really was there

It’s all the nightmares that I have had
They seem to get in the way they seem to lead the way
To all my answers though I’ll never get
How love can disappear

It’s all the nightmares that I have had
They seem to get in the way they seem to be the way

Impulses

Will I ever find the love of my life?
I don’t get the point about being a wife
Personally I think it’s better to find yourself
Before trying to fill others needs

If you get up and take a step
One breath no need to stress
I’m sure the way will just make itself

What is it about us and thinking?
It’s like we waste our time trying to find the thing
That can make sure you will succeed no matter what
But how many see what they miss

They just get up and take the steps
No breath cause they’re too stressed
I’m sure the way will just make itself

So when you see trees growing wild that’s when you should remember their time
Their past the years without wondering why they rise the way they do
Just take day after day after day after day based on impulses
You’ll find your way

We’re all human literally all the same
How is it possible to get out of that frame?
By taking charge, vary from the norm, take what’s coming
Trust you can be the latest craze

If you get up and take a step
One breath no need to stress
I’m sure the way will just make itself

So when you see trees growing wild that’s when you should remember their time
Their past the years without wondering why they rise the way they do
Just take day after day after day after day based on impulses

You’ll find your way when you see trees remembering how happiness seems
To be the key stick to your dreams
Remember their past the years without wondering why they rise the way they do
Just take day after day after day after day
Based on impulses you’ll find your way

What It Used to Be

I’m not trying to find an excuse
I’m just trying to control my abuse
Cause I can’t figure out whether it makes me stronger or tears me down
I don’t hear a sound

I can feel the beating of my heart
It’s because I know we’re apart
Every breath I take without you I’m afraid that I will forget
Maybe I need a little help

Please, won’t you help me find a way
To get through all this mess I’m living in
Can’t you see, what I’m dealing with right now
What’s circling around
I just want to make this life feel right
To make this life feel right

So what I’m saying is that I’ve tried
I actually found the sun and the light
And I did try to make a way with the light but the sun went down
Mentally I ran out of time

While standing in the dark
I can only try to keep my head high
Cause I’m used to many solutions and I’m used to getting conclusions
I’m used to getting them fast
Cause I don’t want to live like in the past

Please, won’t you help me find a way
To get through all this mess I’m living in
Can’t you see, what I’m dealing with right now
What’s circling around
I just want to make this life feel right
To make this life feel right

I’m trying to find a way without you everyday
It’s not easy it’s not easy to find that way
But I’m trying yes I’m trying hard

But I’m not trying to find an excuse
I just want to be with you
Love you and feel you
Like I used to

Moments in Silence

Every moment in silence is trying to bring me down
But I know now that I can’t keep this, it’s too noisy and about
To break me – to shake me, I don’t even want to try
Cause I’ve felt this before so this is my goodbye

Sometimes I try too hard with obvious things that won’t last
My feelings are running free, telling me it won’t be no blast
I won’t listen – I might be twisting, words to my own defense
I feel careful every time still something must be wrong

If you don’t want to love me then don’t
If you don’t want to hold me just go
If you feel like I’m pushing you down
I know just what that’s like

If you don’t want to feel me then don’t
If you don’t want me closer just go
If you feel like I’m tearing you down
I know just what that’s like

I should probably learn from all the mistakes I’ve made
But patience isn’t my invention I wish that I could just fade
Into something – just somewhere, my thoughts are killing me now
They’ll be there tomorrow and time will take me somehow

If you don’t want to love me then don’t
If you don’t want to hold me just go
If you feel like I’m pushing you down
I know just what that’s like

If you don’t want to feel me then don’t
If you don’t want me closer just go
If you feel like I’m tearing you down
I know just what that’s like

Just Not Good Enough

It’s early in the morning I’m still wide awake
I’m lying in my closet watching what you’ve made
Pictures keep coming back, I don’t know where you’re at
No, I don’t know where you’re at

Cause you left me here crying I only watched your back
Reconsidering isn’t lying we just lost track
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what I want

Cause I just wasn’t good enough for you
And you just wasn’t good enough for me
Suddenly you see won’t you open up my eyes for me
Now you see, now you see
Won’t you open up my eyes for me

I guess I was too happy to see what this was
Everything was a mess but I believed in happiness
You did not try to fight you did not try to make it right
Now I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what I want

Cause I just wasn’t good enough for you
And you just wasn’t good enough for me
Suddenly you see won’t you open up my eyes for me
Now you see, now you see
Won’t you open up my eyes for me

You would take my hand
Show me what you called the right way
Now it’s gone and I don’t
Want anybody else to stay

Cause I just wasn’t good enough for you
And you just weren’t good enough for me
Suddenly you see won’t you open up my eyes for me
Now you see, now you see
Won’t you open up my eyes for me

It’s early in the morning I’m still wide awake
Nothing here is warming, cause no one took your place

A Journey

Someone told me life isn’t gonna be easy
Then I told her about my road
She said darling don’t let it show

I was praying to God, today wouldn’t tear me apart
Though the rain was pouring down
I kept listening to the sound
Of the voice inside my heart singing

I’m here ’till the end
and I pray to God that’s not today
I’m keeping up to make you strong
please say your journey here will last long

I expected nothing like this I thought that we were okay
Though the words never explained it
I felt all of your pain

I remember saying to myself,”mama please wake up”
Take her out of this hell
But please don’t make it stop

I’m here ’till the end
and I pray to God that’s not today
I’m keeping up to make you strong
please say your journey here will last long

This world is not a place without you
I wouldn’t know how to move on
I just pray, I just pray, I just pray
That some day – we will be okay

Taking Care

It’s hard for me to explain what I feel when you call my name
Cause I know you want to play some stupid game
And if I told you, you wouldn’t understand
Cause you’re not really that man
You want everyone to think you are

Should I laugh, should I cry?
Tell me now, please don’t lie
The man you’re supposed to be
You hide him, no one can see
You’re taking care of me

I need to think of myself and I don’t really need your help
Think I’m better without you, can you see it too?
It isn’t my job to take care of this house
I’m ready to sacrifice everything
I want you out of my life

Should I laugh, should I cry?
Tell me now, please don’t lie
The man you’re supposed to be
You hide him, no one can see
You’re taking care of me

It’s not that I don’t care, I just can’t go anywhere
Without having you there
You’re my dad if I should love you ‘till I die
Please tell me why

Cause I don’t know…
Should I laugh, should I cry?
Tell me now, please don’t lie
The man you’re supposed to be
You hide him, no one can see
You’re taking care of me
