Lovers In A Dangerous Time

Wishing Well - Emily King cover by Danielle Knibbe Trio

A cover of my FAVOURITE song of all time, which I recorded live off the floor with two of my FAVOURITE people (Bryn Besse - Guitar, Connor Walsh - Bass), for some of my FAVOURITE people. This was the last Kickstarter song we recorded, and we saved all our feelings for the end. Thank you all so much for listening!

Tailor - Anais Mitchell Cover

Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe
Music by Danielle Knibbe & Connor Walsh

I’ve been thinking ’bout us, thinking ’bout love, thinking ’bout falling to pieces
I’ve been thinking that maybe I’ve been wrong all this time
’Cause I’ve been watching you walk, watching you talk, watching you stand hands in pockets
I’ve been wondering how to live if you’re not in my life, if you’re not in my life

Oh don’t mind me, I’m just in agony, I just die a little more each day
Tell me how can I breathe with you looking at me that way?

I’ve been coming undone, biting my tongue, words bubble up without warning
I just might let it slip how quick I’d give you my heart
’Cause I can no longer bear being so aware of the distance there between our fingers
A matter of inches might be miles apart 

Oh don’t mind me, I’m just in agony, I just die a little more each day
Tell me how can I breathe with you looking at me that way?

If you want me just say something ’cause all this nothing is killing me slow, slow, slow
So if you want me just say something ’cause it’s torment every time you don’t mind me
I’m just in agony

Don’t mind me, I’m just in agony, I just die a little more each day
Tell me how can I breathe with you looking at, looking at, looking at, looking at
Don’t mind me, I’m just in agony, I just die a little more each day
Tell me how can I breathe with you looking at me that way?

Agony

Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe, Music by Knibbe/Besse/Walsh

With my hair undone and my too short dress
I am fraying at the edges, a disintegrating mess
As the scent of disinfectant from the airport restroom drifts to where stand

And with your bags packed up and your eyes downcast
My tongue is heavy with a question that I’m too afraid to ask
So I’ll keep tripping over sentences and sipping from the coffee in my hand
Anything to draw attention from the fact that I can’t watch you walk away again

And I get you’ve got to leave me
I’m not stupid, I’m not needy 
Do you have to make it look so easy, look so easy?

With my throat closed tight and my eyes rimmed red
My mouth is full of cotton, the throbbing in my head
Is worsened by the stubborn squeak your suitcase wheel repeats with every step
The tell-tale harbingers of heartache as I watch you walk away again

And I get you’ve got to leave me
I’m not stupid, I’m not needy 
Do you have to make it look so easy, look so easy?

Oh won’t you come kiss my lips and say we’ll be fine
Scan your folded ticket, and take your place in line
I’ll hold tight to your promises, I’ll wait on you to call me when you land
And three months down the road I’ll watch you walk my way again
Way deep down I know I’ll watch you walk my way again

Long Distance

Music & Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe

You’ve got a sweater from your first love tucked in your bottom drawer
I’ve never seen it hug your body or tangled on your floor
And we rarely talk about her, and it’s been seven years or more
But you’ve got a sweater from your first love tucked in your bottom drawer

And I’ve seen pictures of her and they remind me of me
One where she’s laughing with your brother, one where you’re both only nineteen
And you say there’s no resemblance, and in some ways I agree
But I’ve seen pictures of her and they remind me of me

The longer I love you the more it’s on my mind 
What a painfully thin line
Between being the one you love, and being the one you loved once upon a time

’Cause when we talk about her it’s in the past tense
You still smile at inside jokes you had, you praise her poise and intellect
And I know that you’re not bitter, I know there’s no regret
But when we talk about her it’s in the past tense 
And I can’t help but wonder if that’s how this will end
Am I the heroine of your story or a footnote for the girl you love next?

Footnote

Music & Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe

A cabin on a mountainside
Stars light up the snow and I 
Am burning like a firefly when you’re around
Coffee turns to midnight games
Small talk turns to repartee
And every time you turn my way I’m held spellbound

It’s a simple love I’ve found
There’s no fanfare, it don’t make a sound
Yes it’s a simple love I’ve found and I don’t know how to hold you
’Cause I don’t even know you

So come sit down here next to me
On this sofa from the seventies
I’ve never felt to much at ease with anyone, what is that’s begun?

It’s a simple love I’ve found
I’ve still got both my feet on the ground
Yes it’s a simple love I’ve found and I don’t know how to hold you
Damn it, I barely know you

A cabin on a mountainside, 
Stars light up the snow and I 
Am hoping you can’t read my mind 
But oh how I wish you would
