Paper Walls

Sitting in this room
In my house of cards
Looking in the mirror
Wondering where you are
Am I still a pearl
Are you still a stone
Are you in this place
Or am I all alone
Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Do you know
They fall?
Don't keep me from the storm
Sheltered from your whims
I want my hair a mess
I want to know the wind
And I don't have the heart
To see through all of this
Would you be so kind
And tear it all to bits
Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Do you know they fall?
Paper Walls
Paper Walls
Do you know they fall?

Secret Star

Be still my heart you're beating too loud
Someone might hear you in this very close crowd
Don't touch, don't laugh, don't say anything more
The ocean in his eyes is starting to roar
Secret Star
I know where you are
In the evening sky
You're a million miles far
And by the time I see your light it's gone
Secret Star
I will wish upon, wish upon you
Be still my heart, don't make a scene
Just because he's taken doesn't mean he wears a ring
But I've seen the fortune in the gypsy's eye
It'll come to no good, he and I
Secret Star
I know where you are
In the evening sky
You're a million miles far
And by the time I see your light it's gone
Secret Star
I will wish upon, wish upon you

Treehouse

Standing in the door of the treehouse
Sunday slippers on
She had her hands on her hips
She's the same year that I was
The same year that I was
She had a crush on Tommy
He was the boy next door
He drove a big black Mustang
It was older than he was
He was older than she was
Tommy he said Hey there girl
Come up here with me
I got something in the treehouse
I think you'd like to see
I think you'd like to see
He gave her the nectar
He kissed her on the cheek
She flew like an airplane
When it hits that old jetstream
Hits that old jetstream
Hey you lose all your dreams
When you fly with heroin wings
You feel you're above everything
But you're falling
You're falling
On her eighteenth birthday
She had a baby named Joe
Cute as a blue-eyed kitten
But he cried too much you know
He cried too much you know
Her mama took the baby
She took to the streets
Sleeping in dark doorways
And between dirty sheets
Between dirty sheets
Hey you lose all your dreams
When you fly with heroin wings
You feel you're above everything
But you're falling
You're falling
Joe has a couple of kids now
Joe has a beautiful wife
He never built them a treehouse
He never told them why
He never told them why
Hey you lose all your dreams
When you fly with heroin wings
You feel you're above everything
But you're falling
You're falling

Nothin' But A Thing
03:49

Dear Heart,
Do back where you came
From inside my chest
Get out of this place
You put your hopes up
And got shot down
The big guns came out
And truth fired a round
He was just a dream
Nothin' but a thing
That made my heart bump
He was a song unsung
The rain that never comes to
Fill the sea
Nothin' But A Thing
In the light of day
Float in reverie
But don't lose your head
When the night waxes mean
It feels so unstrong
To cry yourself awake
Stare at the ceiling
And see only his face
He was just a dream
Nothin' but a thing
That made my heart bump
He was a song unsung
The rain that never comes to
Fill the sea
Nothin' But A Thing
And what does it take
To find someone
Brave enough
And attached to no one
'Cause it's no good
To be alone all the time
Like I am in this room
Full of heart beats and rhyme
He was just a dream
Nothin' but a thing
That made my heart bump
He was a song unsung
The rain that never comes to
Fill the sea
Nothin' But A Thing

Cheyenne

Someone say a prayer for me tonight
I'm wild as a horse beneath the starlight
Gotta make it to Cheyenne by daylight
'Cause time won't wait
For our mistakes
I was wrong
I was wrong
You're already gone
By the grace of the fates we met in that old town
Built a solid life and I just tore it down
You were moving too fast I had to slow it down
But time won't wait
For my mistake
I was wrong
I was wrong
You're already gone
Keeper of the stars I want to make it right
With a raven-haired, broken-hearted man tonight
Can you get me to Cheyenne by daylight
'Cause he won't wait
It was my mistake
I was wrong
i was wrong
You're already gone

Kiss Goodnight
02:55
|

|
I'm too wired
To fall asleep
The candles are burning down
The way you burn down me
And it's not a bad thing
To melt like this
Ice to water
And lonliness to bliss
And you just left
A million years ago
But I can still feel
Your lips soft on mine like snow
It was not a dream
It was just the twilight
And I am only reeling
From your sweet kiss goodnight
It was not a dream
It was just the twilight
And I am only reeling
From your sweet kiss goodnight
