you and me in orbit
turning with the earth
i can feel your heartbeat
underneath the dirt
look at what the universe has done
tell me you will catch me when i come
falling like a star into this love
you and i
particles of light
tiptoe on the earth
fingertip to sky
i could ride this wave all night
you and me in orbit
like the earth and moon
all my deepest oceans
rise and fall to you
these are not the freckles on your thighs
these are all the stars out in the sky
this is where you show me how to fly
you and i
particles of light
tiptoe on the earth
fingertip to sky
i could ride this wave all night

jaded
how you wake up tired
how you wake up wishing for the dark
water on a fire
getting up should never be this hard
ashes on the counter
empty glasses
echoes of the night
wishing for excuses
tell yourself it's really the last time
you too happy to be blue
you too new to be so old
you too blessed to be so broken
too hot to be so cold
you too young to be so jaded
you too young to be so jaded
body of a goddess
wake up with woman of your life
portait of perfection
still you find a reason you should fight
body in the sunlight
hoping maybe she will give you some
rushing through the romance
all you really want to do is come
you too happy to be blue
you too new to be so old
you too blessed to be so broken
too hot to be so cold
you too young to be so jaded
you too young to be so jaded
lover lover
please don't go
i'll be better than before
spirit
spirit
let me live i
i won't forsake
the gifts you give
sad song
melody
you have made a mess of me
one day
i'll look back
wonder why i was so sad
you too happy to be blue
you too new to be so old
you too blessed to be so broken
too hot to be so cold
you too young to be so jaded
you too young to be so jaded
you too happy to be blue
you too new to be so old
you too blessed to be so broken
too hot to be so cold
you too young to be so jaded
you too young to be so jaded

catching up
saw a red bearded boy in the coffeeshop
a boy that i knew i once knew
maybe we were not friends
but we'd shared a moment a
some time ago back in high school
as i stood near the boy in the coffeeshop
something was sad his eyes
we were both much to tired at the
end of the night
we did not wish to be recognized
cuz catching up is so much work
it's hard to hold a smile
as you briefly recall what you have not done with your life
though you grew up with everything you could dream up
in the glow of the cells of a screen
you were blessed
with no shortage of buttons to push
and somehow you have nothing you need
and your parents can't tell if you're brilliant or slow
with no job and no money in hand
they grew up with a war
like their parents before
they know you will never understand
cuz growing up is so much work
it's hard to hold a smile
as you briefly recall what you have not done with your life
now the music you sing is your freedom
the woman you love is your home
and you still have no money, the debts you can't pay
but you know you are never alone
so you smile at the boy in the coffeeshop
you're so different and also the same
he is older and tired and sad at the world
he has grown and he hasn't much changed
you're catching up to what you thought
your someday would be like
as you briefly recall what you have not done with your life

good to me
last night
couldn't get to sleep i felt my
whole life
crushing down on me
i turn to you
you find the energy to turn and
hold me
woke up
fighting through the daylight
cruel and wrekless
you look into my eyes
like you know me
underneath the fire
see i'm hurting
i don't know where you came from
how you came to be
but i know no one's ever been
so good to me
so good to me
that day
the day we really met
i was so afraid
afraid i couldn't let you go
your laughter
you were like
the freshest breath of air
i was so careless
didn't hear you calling oh so
reckless
tell me that you're falling
i was gone
but anytime i called
you were always there
i don't know where you came from
how you came to be
but i know no one's ever been
so good to me
so good to me
now i
pray you stay my greatest friend so
grateful.
never let you go again
your love has
always been so patient
and so true
now i am never
never second guessing
look in your eyes
every second blessing me
i pray to spend the highs and lows
of life with you
i don't know where you came from
how you came to be
but i know no one's ever been
so good to me
so good to me

Song a day: Day 6
Soul go written and produced by be steadwell
Soul go
where does the soul go when it is stolen
shook from the earth in a violent blow
where does the soul go when it is stolen
shook from the earth in a violent blow
where does the soul go when it is stolen
where does the soul
where does the soul go?
does it take to air
in a witch's spell
does it linger there?
from the ship to the field to the prison cell
is it in the dark
in a woman's name
does it burn like rum?
does it move with the wind in the
sugar cane
where does the soul go when it is stolen
shook from the earth in a violent blow
where does the soul go when it is stolen
where does the soul
where does the soul go?
does it cut the air
in the snare drum roll
of a civil war
does it beat in the heart
of the guilty soul?
does it burn the skin
like the southern sun
the a summer fire?
does it rise in the smoke
of the fired gun?
where does the soul go when it is stolen
shook from the earth in a violent blow
where does the soul go when it is stolen
where does the soul
where does the soul go?
I am the voice and the blood of the spirit
i am the voice of the oldest song
sing to the ground and the roots can hear it
sing for the spirits come and gone
I am the soul when the soul is stolen
shook from the earth in a violent blow
I am the soul when the soul is stolen
here where the soul
here where the soul go.
