Shattered
04:21
|

I heard
Your words cracking
Like glass
Dropped on the floor
So I swept them up
You
You said you were drowning
I knew
I've seen that look before
Your words in whispers
And your voice
Shattered
Breathe out the water
Sink through
Reach out above you
When you're stuck
With no direction
You start to forget
Who you are
And you look to the stars
No matter what you do
My love is always with you
I heard
Your words cracking
Like glass

A Pane of Glass
04:36
|

It's just a pane of glass
This portrait's always changing
And it goes by way too fast
I can't keep up with daydreams
But it's still green today
Soon the colors will all turn
Like when you went away
Each season will adjourn
And leave us wondering
How do we get them back?
We long for autumn
Because it doesn't last
And our love was the summer
Staring through the glass
On the inside looking out
Just trying to make it last
Bearing witness, so devout
The sky will open up
And paint this scene a blinding white
Like when you said this was
Your dream for our whole life
And I'm stuck here wondering
How can I get it back?
The ground keeps melting
With everything we had
And our love was the winter
It's just a pane of glass
When the night erases
Every blade of grass
And the smiles on our faces
The yard was full of life
Now it's dull and overgrown
Like when you said good-bye
Each season will atone
And teach a lesson
We can never get it back
And I don't know
What to do with that
'Cause our love was forever

Starry Eyes
03:54
|
|||
They're sounding alarms and you're tuning them out
As background noise to forget
Where there's already structure, you're tearing it down
Until there's no more trace of it
You always get me with those starry eyes
It's just as you prophesied
Come on and show me a hint of morning light
And forget all that we left behind
You follow your heart and you speak your truth
In a way I was always hesitant
What you give away comes right back to you
And your love of the whole world is evident
[Chorus]
No reason to doubt when the story is your own
And you're making it up as you go
A wave of your hand, you command the unknown
You raise to the surface what was below
[Chorus]
Let's forget it all, starry eyes

Stay In Your Light
03:04
|
|||
You heed all the signs
You bend and rewind
I know it's making you crazy
The longing in your mind
It burns and subsides
Hold on to the life that you wanted
And may your faith never die
Stay in your light
Back to the start
And the twitch in your heart
Hold on to anything that wakes you up
All that you are
And the way you've come so far
It all leads right to this moment
And may your hope never die
Ignite the spark in your eye
And your love, may it take flight
Stay in your light

New Beginnings
05:34
|
|||
Faded whispers live in the background
I try to drown them out
By just adding to the sound
I ignore these persistent secrets
Still I don't know why
I ask, and no reply
Indecision and second-guessing
I'm going around in circles
I don't know how to stop
New beginnings and resolutions
I always end up the same
What's the use in trying to change?
And it tears me up
But here I am, standing my ground
When I could not get up
Where were you?
And it tears me up

Threads
03:26
|
|||
Measured, tailored
I've become everything that I've always run from
I admit it, I'm curious
The needle swims through every swath
What we make out of string and cloth
Is up to us, it always was
Pull our threads together
Fray all the ends
Try to get it perfect
Nobody can
As long as the stitches don't break
Rearranging what's in our hearts
'Til we become a disjointed collage
Of what is and never was
Here's to starting over
Always begin
The shapes we make will change
Again and again
As long as we don't run away
So many choices but I never looked back
This is just another
Pull our threads together
Fray all the ends
The shapes we make will change
Again and again
As long as we don't run away
So we can sew it back up when we break
Again
