Cover of The Way I Am - Ingrid Michaelson

Lucky Ones 

I was rolling down a dirt road, blowing like a tumbleweed
With a long list of what I wanted, no idea what I really need
She came from out of nowhere, smiled and she took my hand
She said if you let me in, I’m gonna do anything I can

Chorus
It’s a long, long road, maybe you’ll find someone
You’ll be one of the lucky ones, lucky ones, lucky ones

I was headed for destruction, yeah I’m gonna make a mess
Got a two ton chip on my shoulder, putting me to the test
She wrapped her lovin arms round me, I could feel her beating heart
She said I do and I did too, we never ever been apart

Chorus

I wonder where the time goes, it’s slipping and slide away
I’m digging up all my secrets, and throwing em all away

Now there’s flowers on the table, and black coffee in my cup
She’s standing right here beside me, we’re never ever giving up

Chorus

Lucky Ones

Start Over Again

I’m thinking bout us holding hands, walking thru the neighborhood
Laughing and joking bout all the things we could do
When we live together, happily ever after
Stay up late, singing songs, til the morning comes along
Over time something changed, nothing ever stays the same
If 6 was 9, up was down, you might still be around

Chorus
I wish we could go back in time, I was yours and you were mine
Wish that you were here right now, we could give it one more try
Wish you had a change of heart, you came back and we could 
Start over again

On the day you said goodbye, all the tears I can’t deny
Like a bell you made it clear, still ringing in my ears
Tables turning, bridges burning, lights went out and I got lost
Oh I know it’s over now but I keep my fingers crossed 
Should’ve said what I was thinking, not sit there like a stone
Couldn’t find the words but now they won’t leave me alone

Chorus

If you don’t come back, don’t know what I’m gonna do
If you read between the lines, turn the page, start something new
Had a dream, I’m home alone, there’s a knock on the door
You’re standing there telling me I’m the one you adore
We should give it one more try, you can’t remember why
We screwed it up and broke it up but now I’m waking up

Chorus

Start Over Again

Whenever we come to face any change in life, we always have to decide how we want to fight. This song's about just deciding to fight.

The coming winds

The road we walk is not always easy to travel or find, what you see along the way is not always pretty and is often ugly. Give yourself some grace when you take a wrong turn along the way.

From grace

"Lips" is about the fire you feel when you first start really getting to experience someone else.
