SECRET:
Don’t you ever wonder
How it can be so easy?
Birdies under cover
We fly so lovely
Now you’re looking back at me
Smiling like I’ve got a secret
I usually do
And you already know it’s always about you
Count the freckles on your cheek
Everyone says I’m distracted
It’s usually true
And you already know it’s always about you
Baby don’t you see it
We fit in so seamlessly
Starting to believe it
You’re more than a fantasy
Now you’re looking back at me
Smiling like I’ve got a secret
I usually do
And you already know it’s always about you
Count the freckles on your cheek
Everyone says I’m distracted
It’s usually true
And you already know it’s always about you
Smiling like I’ve got a secret
And you already know it’s always about you
ASTRONAUT LOVE
He is a rebel without a cause
She is a socialite without a party
They met at a watering hole
Her glass was half empty and now it’s full
After a year or so
They went to see the snow
Turned ski suits into space suits and
Catapulted into the unknown
We are invented sign language
We are inverted equations
We are upside down astronauts
Looking at earth from above
Thats how we fell in love
He is a jester without a hat
She is a worrier without a problem
Flying with oxygen masks
She’ll never run out of breath when he makes her laugh
We are invented sign language
We are inverted equations
We are upside down astronauts
Looking at earth from above
Thats how we fell in love
You never have to have a solution
You never have to carry the key
As long as you’ve got the punch line
The laugh is always on me
We are upside down astronauts
Looking at earth from above
Thats how we fell in love
That’s how we fell in love
LADY LIGHT
Who is the woman in speckled light
Hiding plans behind her eyes
Along with hope and danger and delight
She is wisdom in a bottle
She is mischief on her own
And she is all I ever want to know
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Where does the lioness lay at night
Early sleep and early rise
Alone, she’s armed and ready for the fight
She’s a mirror, she’s a spotlight
She’s the ocean in your hand
And she is color
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Lady light
Do not mistake eyes for hands
Or windows or mirrors
Let them see what a woman looks like
They may have never seen one before
Who is the woman in speckled light
Hiding plans behind her eyes
Along with hope and danger and delight
I LOVED YOU FIRST
I don’t
Wanna lose you
To the love I know you’re going through
But it’s okay
Footsteps
In the backyard
Sneaking conversations in your palms
Beside me
I know that there’s a time and place but I can’t take
The way you keep his secrets and say everything’s okay
You’ll never stay, or so you say
See it in your eyes, he’s not going away
Oooooh
I just want the best for you
Oooooh
But you’re settling for less than you deserve
I know your worth
And that’s why it hurts
Cuz I loved you first
Trust me like you used to
Before the story starts to split in two and fall apart
I won’t give up easy
You’re the only thing I have to lose so I’ll fight hard
I know that there’s a time and place
For us to stay laughing with each other on the phone every day
I know that we will find a way
To make that space, I see it in your eyes that we’re not going away
Oooooh
I just want the best for you
Oooooh
But you’re settling for less than you deserve
I know your worth
And that’s why it hurts
Cuz I loved you first
