Fragile Skin
The water drizzles down, surrounding my outstretched hand
Over and over, strumming on my shoulders
Rolling, rolling
My edges cannot be breached...there's no one else in here but me
Over and over, I am coming closer to me, closer to me
I could never be you, even though I really wanted to
The only thing that can help is to make peace with myself
With myself, with myself
I cannot make you happy and I cannot make you sad
If I like it, if I like it, that's enough
I cannot make you happy and I cannot make you sad
If I like it, if I like it, that's enough
The water drizzles down, surrounding my outstretched hand
I fill up this fragile skin, all the way to the ends
I fill up this fragile skin, all the way to the ends
To the ends of me, to the ends of me
At the End of the Day
At the end of the day I got nothing to say but I love you, I’ll always love you
Whether your working in the yard, or smoking your cigar hey I love you, I’ll always love you
I finally understood to take the win when life treats me good, smiling like I knew I should, whenever I'm with you
At the end of the summer, when you’re brewing your hard cider, I love you, I’ll always love you
When you turn your hat backwards and kiss me like I’m all that matters, I love you, I’ll always love you
I finally understood to take the win when life treats me good, and sends me a man who always looks for what’s beautiful and true
When I wake up in the morning, and you’re already hard at working hey I love you, I’ll always love you
When your strong arms are lifting all these problems that needed fixing well I love you, I’ll always love you
I finally understood to take the win when life treats me good, laughing like I knew I could, whenever I’m with you
At the end of the day I got nothing to say but I love you, I’ll always love you
Whether you’re working in the yard, or smoking that cigar hey I love you, I’ll always love you
I finally understood to take the win when life treats me good, I’ll just sit back and enjoy the view, Long as I’m with you
Finally talk to you
Wish I could find the time to finish what I started
Wish I could do what I really want to do
Wish I could go to bed knowing this work was over
Wish I could find the words and finally talk to you
Wish I could tell you everything that I’m thinking
Wish you would listen to what I have to say
Wish that these fences and these doors would be closed to me no more
Wish I could find the words and finally walk away
Oh the eagle in the sky is soaring
And I am jealous of how far she gets to fly
If I could spread my wings and untangle your strings
I’d go, I’d just go
Oh the memory of your scorn still haunts me
And it wakes me from the sleep I need to find
Oh my heart is so tied up and troubled and tired
Wish I could finish this and have some peace of mind
Why should I even have to tell you
What I really think you already ought to know
You were there when you did it
You were there when you said it
Don’t you remember the path you chose
I wish I could find the time to finish what I started
Wish I could do what I really want to do
Wish I could go to bed knowing this work was over
I wish I could find the words and finally talk to you
We're All…
We’re all trapped in our bubbles
We don’t listen to each other
I gather all my evidence, filtered by allegiances
But does it make a difference
We all came wanting connection
Side by side and hand to hand
We are driven to understand until we’re convinced That the other’s just too different
I start drawing my lines
Find a hill where I’ll die
Magnify the grievances
Well I don’t think that we can be friends anymore
We’re all trapped in our bubbles
We don’t listen to each other
Scandalized by common sense
Monuments to loneliness
We sacrifice ‘til there’s nothing left
We all came wanting connection
Needing smiles and human touch
Now we choose the anonymous, qualify for judgement
And make enemies of all of us
I can't take any more
I never wanted a war
I miss happiness and when I used to believe that people tried their best
Home
Walking down this dirty road alone
I walked for miles, I walked for days
Wondering if you could see past what I’ve done
The choice I made, oh the choices I’ve made
And all I want is just to come home
All I want is just to be safe, to belong
They said that you would never forgive me
They said that you would never accept me
Not for who I am, not for what I am
But you run towards me
And you run with your arms open wide
You run, you run towards me
And I feel like I’ve got nothing to hide
“Oh, I’ve missed you” Is all you have to say
“It’s been so long, I've missed you for so long
I’ve waited and dreamed about this day
When love would be stronger than pain “
And all the shame they told me to feel
All the shame they told me to feel
It’s gone
It’s finally gone
As you run towards me
You run with your arms open wide
You run, you run towards me
And I feel like I’ve got nothing to hide
