The Mending

I saw you there with dark hair
All alone on a windowsill
All alone with a distance
With some surprise
Swear I'd seen those eyes
Somewhere down my storyline
Somewhere in the distance
Well it didn't take much
To call my bluff
When I said, "I don't wanna be kind"
You made your way into an open space
In the corners of my mind
Gone away was the distance
A friend in me was all you'd need
In a time of brokenness
In a time of mending
Oh just like you
My heart was broken in two
Finding my own way back
Finding the mending
Well it didn't take much
To call your bluff
When you said, "I'll be alone for the rest of my life"
I made my way into a quiet space
In the forefront of your life
Together in the mending

Do You Wanna Know

Do you wanna know
What my love is
What my love is
Do you wanna know
Where my soul lives
What my soul gives when we're alone
I can feel the start of somethin
As we're passin by the afternoon
I can feel the start of somethin
As we're holding hands in crowded rooms
Baby won't you show
What your love is
What your love is
Baby won't you show
Where your heart lives
Under those ribs I'm dyin to go
Can you feel the start of somethin
As we kiss under the starry sky
Can you feel the start of somethin
When we find it hard to say goodnight
Oh don't be surprised
If I'm silent for a minute
Just takin in the thought of you
The thought of lyin next to you
Doing what we want
Inside your bedroom
Do you wanna know
Where my heart is
It's where your heart is

Ready for Your Love
03:06
|

Holding onto every word
And wearing my heart on my sleeve just like you like it
All those lessons I learned
Fade away baby in the hood of your jacket
You can take me anywhere
All the lies fall behind when I look into your eyes
Come on baby don't be scared
I, I, I'm ready for your love
Wasn't all that long ago
I was so new didn't know what to think and
The little that I knew of love
Had me wrapped up in more dreamin' and wishin'
Baby you came by surprise
I was caught up in a cycle repeatin'
You showed me to come alive
I, I, I'm ready for your love
We had been waiting
Just give it distance
Your heart was broken
My mind resistant
But what came over me
Was spoken from above
Let go baby
I'm ready for your love
I'm ready for your love
Your love, your love, your love, your love
I'm ready for your love
I'm ready for your love

Tapestry

I didn't know what it was
That drew me in
Drew a line to the sky
From your heart right through my ribs
Bound together and pulled apart
What a beautiful mess we make
I didn't know what it was
And then I saw your face
Bundled up against the sea
First words are spoken
Words of quiet harmony
That left us broken
Fingertips upon my lips
What a beautiful mess we make
I didn't know what it was
And then you kissed my face
You kissed my face
Woven in each passing day
Creating patterns
Pieces torn and ripped away
Old stitches tattered
On our knees in tapestry
What a beautiful mess we make
I didn't know what it was
And then you let me trace
Our bodies in the place
Hold me still
Hold me long
Hold me closer
Hold me till we're dead and gone
Draw me in
Draw me with the dawn
Draw me closer
Draw me till we're dead and gone
Dead and gone
I didn't know what it was
That drew me in
Drew a line to the sky
From your heart right through my ribs

This Is Home
02:30
|

You steal into my room
Into my heart and find your place
Are we taking our time dear?
You open up the door
Lay on the rug and count the panes
Are we making a home here?
Those days we were unsure
We were undone in our ways
Are we ready to let go?
Don't even recognize
Another life and yet the same
Are we making a new home?
I know you baby
I know you love me
Why not settle down and make this last forever?
You see it baby
You see what I see
Let's just settle down and build this home together
You want me baby
So why not ask me
Will you settle down and make this life forever
I love you baby
I love you baby, oh
I love you baby when you tell me that
This is home

All Our Tomorrows
03:44
|
|||
|
So much is different now
You share your name, I share my bed
We have no shame anymore
Knowing is deeper now
I see your dreams, you see my fears
We cannot hide anymore
I told you I would keep you
You promised me the same
We've had a taste of the poor and sickness
We've had a glimpse of grace
Kindred we found
The truest of starts
Hold me with all our tomorrows
Sometimes it's hard to see
You make demands, I turn away
We still don't know how to fight
But you always return to me
I hold your face, you hold my tears
We know it's just for the night
I told you I would keep you
You promised me the same
We've had a taste of the poor and sickness
We've had a glimpse of grace
Kindred we found
The truest of starts
Hold me with all our tomorrows
Darling, I want you
Darling, I need you
Oh darling, I love you
Hold me with all our tomorrows

Flooded
03:35

Breathin in just to let it out
Don't know what we're doin here
I can't pretend I don't have my doubts
About what we're doin here
I lose myself when I'm afraid
What the hell am I doin here
Sometimes I need to walk away
Walk away
It was a bad cover up
That left this whole place flooded
And I ain't stayin to clean it up
I am better than that
It was a bad cover up
That left this whole place flooded
Left this whole place flooded
Left this hole, left this
Why you go and do these things
That leave us broken down
Not prepared for that intensity
When you're broken down
You lose yourself when you're afraid
And there's too much broken down
I know you need to walk away
Walk away
It was a bad cover up
That left this whole place flooded
And I ain't stayin to clean it up
I am better than that
It was a bad cover up
That left this whole place flooded
Left this whole place
Left this hole, left this
It was a bad cover up
That left this whole place flooded
And I'm not stayin to clean it up
I am better
It was bad cover up
That left this whole place flooded
Left this whole place flooded
Left this hole, left this

All The Time
04:36
|

I don't want to talk to you
I don't want to look at you
Don't want to know how you got on last night
When we slept in separate rooms
Taking the time we needed to slow down and breathe
I know you love me and I love you
But it's hard to apologize
When we both know we're right
Why's it the hardest thing to admit our faults
I know you see through the lies
And into the greater picture of this love we make
Every shape we take is getting better
All the time
It's getting better, getting better
All the time
It's getting better, getting better
All the time, ooo ooo
All the time,
It's getting better, getting better
I don't want to see your face
When I'm having the worst of days
'Cause it's too damn easy for me to blame it on you
But there's nowhere to run and hide
I made a promise to keep you come the rain or shine
When we're broken when we're getting better
All the time
It's getting better, getting better
All the time
It's getting better, getting better
All the time, ooo ooo
All the time,
It's getting better, getting better
I don't want to stay this way
I know that I need to change
Thank you for loving me when I do you wrong
I need to look in your eyes
And offer you something honest from my sympathies
Baby, forgive me
Baby, forgive me
Baby, forgive me

We Are One
02:57

Please don't forget
Please don't forget these days I've loved you
The hurt we've seen
The pain I bring
Please don't forget
To hold just to hold
And then find
We are one
To grow
To wade into depths unknown
Oh I stand beside you
Take my hand
Please take my hand and know I've loved you
Let me see
That honesty that says, "I love you"
And hold just to hold
And then find
We are one
To grow
To wade into depths unknown
Oh I stand beside you
Take all of this heart and mold it to your heart
Take all of this heart and mold it to your heart

Our Room
02:47
|

|
It's quiet in our room
We're lazy on this Sunday afternoon
I don't mind
Your hands on my chest, your head on my breast
Find peace
There's trusting in our gaze
Still learning each other's ways
You don't mind
The messes I make, the tears and the aches
Hold me
