You're Gonna Leave
03:24

I don’t care who’s wrong or who’s right
It doesn’t matter who’s by your side
As long as I’m on your mind
But you’re gonna leave tonight
I paint the walls red with wine
In yesterday’s clothes with no sleep all night
Never tried to figure it out
We didn’t make it count
You’re gonna leave gonna leave gonna leave
Just like everyone else, everyone else x 2
Should have known where this was going
Middle finger up in the air
Cursed your name and 3 years wasted
Still “I love you” is all I want to hear
You’re gonna leave gonna leave gonna leave
Just like everyone else, everyone else x 4
It was impossible to know where your mind was at
I closed my eyes to forget that we’re never going back
I’m just a joke, simply broke, out of love and out of luck
I don’t believe in fate and my karma it sucks
You’re gonna leave gonna leave gonna leave
Just like everyone else, everyone else x 4

Pink Skies
03:06

Pink skies surround the sun
Windmills standing still
Green as far as the eye can see
With you by my side
We’re making room for the dream
Rolling with our windows down
One state, one state at the time
Illinois, Indiana passes by
Blinding blue neon signs
Swinging down Broadway in a haze
Found Robert’s Western World
I’ll never be the same
We’re making room for the dream
Rolling with our windows down
One state, one state at the time
Tennessee, Kentucky passes by
Played pool with some real cool strangers
Never got their names
Went drinking with a Texas Ranger
Stole his hat and then I ran, then I ran
Black skies full of burning flies
A jar full of curly dollar bills
New songs and shiny new boots
And pearls in different colors from the street dancing
We’re making room for the dream
Rolling with our windows down
One state, one state at the time
Louisiana, Mississippi passes by

Annabeth

Annabeth and I travelled to the south
Across the big blue ocean with a mind full of doubt
Only 18 years old, finally free
But all I could remember was my daddy’s tears
From the window at the airport he stood and waved
As it was one of our last days
As I was leaving this place for good
I had to promise to be careful
And behave like a good girl should
Like a good girl I found a handsome guy
And I never told my family all the things I tried
All the late night crawls, hanging with the boys
All the times I forgot
There were more days to destroy
Like two peas in a pod we started out
We knew everything and what the world was about
We grew apart and back together again
We grew up and had no one else to blame
I was lonelier than Annabeth I suppose
She learned the language, fit in and found her role
When I told her I was leaving it was my ultimate low
But I only came as far as the door for show
After my breakdown, we packed our bags
Took a tattoo cause we could and met some English lads
Fell in love one by one
We all know how this story goes
Like two peas in a pod we started out
We knew everything and what the world was about
We grew apart and back together again
We grew up and had no one else to blame
We went into the desert with bags packed with wine
Got lost in translation in a big coalmine
Our biggest adventure of all time
Like two peas in a pod we started out
We knew everything and what the world was about
Like two peas in a pod we started out
We knew everything and what the world was about
We grew apart and back together again
We grew up and had no one else to blame

Never Seen You So Clear
04:00
|
|||
|
You stand with your back against the sun
Just a silhouette that brightens my day
You can talk or say nothing at all
I know you’re average height but to me you’re tall
You lost someone dear
You lost someone dear
Never seen you so clear x 2
I’ve only seen you cry twice
I didn’t know what to say - had no advice
Normally I think out loud and burst into tears
But all I did was freeze. Couldn’t speak
You lost someone dear
You lost someone dear
Never seen you so clear x 2
You lost someone dear
You lost someone dear
Never seen you so clear x 2

Lost Another
04:28

Oh how the golden fields are swaying in the summer breeze
The wind strokes me gentle by my cheek
It’s the summer of good intentions
And my intentions they are clear
I went too far there goes another year
Oh no I did it again
The key won’t fit and I lost another friend
How did things seem so right?
Then turn out so wrong
Oh what a beautiful mess we’ve created
We have no direction for our love
No jar to fill with quarters
When we’ve done each other wrong
No more to be said or to be done
Oh no I did it again
The key won’t fit and I lost another friend
How did things seem so right?
Then turn out so wrong

Begun to Quake
03:39
|
|||
|
It fell upon me without a warning
Your words never burned this much
I can’t even stand your touch
I cry alone at the grocery store
There aren’t enough back doors to hide
From the flood off despair and my dark side
I never meant it this much
I never felt it this much
The ground beneath me has only begun to quake x 2
No amount of love can save me now
That’s how it feels at the bottom of the sea
Only darkness surrounds me
I never meant it this much
I never felt it this much
The ground beneath me has only begun to quake x 2
I’m high and I'm low and I'm in between
I’m in love, filled with hate and a fleeing dream
I need your steady touch and your warm embrace
and your softest kiss and endless bliss
I never meant it this much
I never felt it this much
The ground beneath me has only begun to quake x 2

Say It Like It Is
04:56
|

Say it like it is.
I’ve heard it a thousand times before, but not nearly too much.
But my mama taught me well,
And my daddy held me tight even when I was angry as hell.
He tucked me in and cooled me off.
He understood my burdens better than I.
‘cause my mama was the same. It was easy to cry.
She was just like I.
This time you’re wrong.
I can stand on my own.
Say it like it is, like you should
Say it like you say it alone
Say it like it’s over the phone.
Say it like it is, like it is
On a bad day it was my worst,
So I got drunk and forced on the fun.
But too much fun led to tears
And my daddy’s shoulder again
I know my friends whispered in-between
That money would wash me clean
And marry rich was my only choice.
That’s probably why we don’t talk anymore.
This time you’re wrong.
I can stand on my own.
Say it like it is, like you should
Say it like you say it alone
Say it like it’s over the phone.
Say it like it is, like it is

What I've Heard
03:02
|
|||
|
I made up my mind I won’t go back
No more cold shoulders and afraid of getting sacked
I’m the best you ever had
Here’s my middle finger in, stop staring at my rack
I know I’m a woman, man I’ve learned that
Too pretty for my own good, in bed I’m a wildcat
Sharp claws, but it’s not too sharp what’s under my hat
At least that’s what I heard, I’ve heard ever word, yeah it’s absurd
You think you know me, and you got me figured out
You know how to read people, you know what they’re about
Well good luck with reading me you little shit
You’ll never last a day in my shoes, they’ll never fit
I know I’m a woman, man I’ve learned that
Too pretty for my own good, in bed I’m a wildcat
Sharp claws, but it’s not too sharp what’s under my hat
At least that’s what I heard, I’ve heard ever word
Go get some glasses and see the world with new eyes
Changes been made, now get with the times
I wear the clothes that I like, I date whoever I want
I’m not afraid of changes and they are bound to come
So I made up my mind I won’t go back
I’m sick and tired of being told all that I lack
I never asked for your advice
I can write my own songs without
I know I’m a woman, man I’ve learned that
Too pretty for my own good, in bed I’m a wildcat
Sharp claws, but it’s not too sharp what’s under my hat
At least that’s what I heard, I’ve heard ever word
Yeah it’s absurd, I’ve heard ever word

Line of Women
03:32
|
|||
|
I come from a line of women that I adore
Who speak their minds and want more,
They’ll never leave you bored
Nothing can keep them down
They’ve hit the ground before
I've learned the hard way
Mold your clay
You have nothing to say
Let me grow
Feel their love flow
Learn how to know
How to take it slow
Learn how to breathe
See what they’ve seen
Believe what they believe in
Find my voice and speak free
And my father, grandfather, raised me right, gave me the will to fight
I’ve learned to work for a future that’s bright
Shine on me, my northern lights
Nothing can keep me down
I’ve hit the ground before
I’ve learned the hard way
Mold your own clay
You have nothing to say
Let me grow
Feel their love flow
Learn how to know
How to take it slow
Learn how to breathe
See what they’ve seen
Believe what they believe in
Find my voice and speak free
