Fly little bird
Fly away from here
Fly little bird
Far away from here
The sky is blue and clear
The sky is blue and clear
Feathers are light
So please take flight
You're young and free
Oh, later you will see
(Chorus)
There's and empty feeling in your chest
It's hard to leave a feathered nest
But you can sing and you can try...
It's your time to learn to fly
The wind will blow
This way and so
You choose your path
And you'll have no map
(Chorus)
Sparrow
Eagle
Meadow lark fly
(Chorus)
It's your time to learn to fly
It's your time to learn to fly

Evermore

I keep peering around corners (do do do)
Checking to see (do do do)
Is danger there lurking
Coming after me?
I can't get to sleep tonight (do do do)
Did I lock the door? (do do do)
Can't stop myself from checking
Think I'll check once more
(Chorus)
Scared of what's around the corner
Scared of what's behind the door
Even if the threat is gone
I'll be afraid evermore, evermore
Pull the sheets to my face (do do do)
My eyes strain in the dark (do do do)
Every sound gives me chills
Even the sound of your heart
(Chorus)
Evermore, evermore
(do do do)
(do do do)
(do do do)
(do do do)

Nobody

I just tripped over your shoes
In the floor where you left them
When I think I can't take it anymore
I remember that I love you
When you leave the cap off the toothpaste
Don't you know you can be replaced?
I remember that I love you
But it's hard for me sometimes
(Chorus)
Nobody, nobody helps me remember like you do
(Repeat)
When you leave me the last cookie
I know you're thinking about me
That's sweet and I can tell
You remember that you love me
Running late and there's a frost on the ground
I find my care is warm and toasty
That's when you make it really easy
To remember that I love you
(Chorus)

Real

I made my bed I sleep in it
Every single night
When I sleep I dream of you
And wish I could hold you tight
Tight...
Tight...
When I walk, I walk alone
Down these lonely roads
How I wish you would walk with me
And carry some of my load
Load...
Load...
(Chorus)
Take your love and hold him tight
Tell him how you feel
If you don't he'll never know
If your love is real
If your love is real...
Real...
I guess I should have thought of that
Before I did you wrong
Now my heart beats out of time
Feels like it don't belong
Belong...
Belong...
(Chorus)
If your love is real

My Darlin'
03:59
|
|||
|
You carved my heart out of coal
You struck a match to watch it glow
Love on fire, lungs full of soot
One little storm was all it took
The light is all burnt out
Now all that's left is the doubt
I put my heart in a box
You'll never manage to break these locks
(Chorus)
My darlin', no battle is ever major, oh
When you know you have love in your favor, oh oh
My darlin'
My darlin', oh oh
The sun shines bright on a sunny day
But we will always have our shades of gray
We keep waiting to feel something profound
But we can't keep our feet on the ground
(Chorus)
My darlin', you gotta learn to cut your losses
My darlin', can't catch every throw life tosses
My darlin'
My darlin', oh
(Chorus)
Oh, oh...

A Past
03:27
|
|||
|
I have lead in my veins
It's weighing my heart down
I can't get up off the floor
And I can't love you anymore
My hands are made of concrete
They're weighing my arms down
Unclenching my fist is a chore
I can't reach for you anymore
(Chorus)
I'll take my life and make it my own
I'm not afraid to be alone
I have suffered and you have conquered
Now all we have is a past
My body is a vessel
Shipwrecked somewhere at sea
I'll never make it to shore
And I won't come to you anymore
(Chorus)
Ooo ooo ooo...
