If You Come Back

Alone with me

Almost

turn down the heat
lock all the doors, don’t know if i’ll
come back til the snows gone
driving away
all I can see, put my money on
me watching you leave

it’s not my home when i’m alone, all the echoes in these walls
overthinking and feeling too much

asked if you miss me, out there by the sea
i’m listening to sad songs and you’re drifting from me
can’t let go if you already let go of me
i may be foolish, not too blind to see

it’s not my home when i’m alone, all the echoes in these walls
overthinking and feeling too much

Thought I had to 
leave my home town
every corner reminds me of you
and i hold my head down
low and i’m thinkin’ it’s too soon to lose you
and my home down


its’ nobodies fault, you let me down
it’s all we can do to be here on the ground
can’t stand the sound, of nothing by silence
can’t read your mind, so I leave it to time

it’s not my home when i’m alone, all the echoes in these walls
overthinking and feeling too much

Thought I had to 
leave my home town
every corner reminds me of you
and i hold my head down
low and i’m thinkin’ it’s too soon to lose you
and my home down

Home Town

Foolish

Had a dream last night
pretty sure I was sleepin’
cause it don’t seem like
somethin’ that happens to me
the clouds covered over the moon
and in the candle light there was you 

I could play it cool
I could hold my breath
I could just pretend that 
I am just your friend
I could play it safe
so that no one looses
but what if this time 
I want to be foolish
What if this time 
I want to be foolish

Your hand on my skin
tryin’ to hide my shakin'
but you make me laugh
and I loose track of the minutes
and almost forget my guard
when you hold me close in your arms

I could play it cool
I could hold my breath
I could just pretend that 
I am just your friend
I could play it safe
so that no one looses
but what if this time 
I want to be foolish
What if this time 
I want to be foolish

Foolish

"The Old Ways" by Loreena McKennitt cover by Ellie Moss

So I wanna stay

I can’t sleep without you
tossing and turning
can’t let go of what you said
oh and how 
you said it to me

I can’t go without
can’t quite bring myself
to turn on the car
when the seat sits
cold and empty beside me

stop me now
before I get carried away
Hold me down
you’re making me
crazy so I wanna stay

 I can’t eat without you
food doesn’t taste
as good as you did
on my tongue
and i’’m going hungry without you

stop me now
before I get carried away
Hold me down
you’re making me
crazy so I wanna stay
Have no faith
in what we could be
so I walk away
don’t forget
all that you told me
so I wanna stay
hold me down
you’re making me crazy so I wanna stay

so I wanna stay

mama this one's for you (C. Beth Hart)

i like the way you look at me
your kiss so sweet it carries me
home just like that old familiar dream

underneath the river stones
a secret only we could know
keep it on your lips 'til you have mine

Once I almost couldn’t see
for all the fog in front of me
the shadows on the water
silver twilight holds me still  
and I may know my way around
on my knees here on the ground
though I remain a fraction of
all the stardust from above

the more I think I know my way
I lose myself in all you say
carry me until I see the shore

violet blue my eyes to you
searching deep for something new
let me feel it all 'til I am numb

Once I almost couldn’t see
for all the fog in front of me
the shadows on the water
silver twilight holds me still  
and I may know my way around
on my knees here on the ground
though I remain a fraction of
all the stardust from above

Stardust

Oh you make me wait
in silence in the cold cold waves
come with an empty lifeboat with no rope
your empty promises like a stone pulling me down
I won't be fighting you for air
I will surrender I don't care

you get the trophy
you win this time
you get the last word
I'll give you mine
you can take everything
every last dime
but you'll never have me
that's where I draw the line

Oh you make me sick
to my stomach when I think of it
you a lifeless soul with a black hole
you won't have my mind
the devil's on your tail I lied

you get the trophy
you win this time
you get the last word
I'll give you mine
you can have everything
every last dime
but you'll never have me
that's where I draw the line

Ooh ooooh oohhhh ohh
Ooh ooh ooh ohhhh ohh
the devil's on your tail I lied



Never have me

 Even though

Blood drips to my fingertips
from my knee down to my toes
fell down in the dark alone
I’m the only who knows

I didn’t cry no I’m not lying
I was tough as nails
Can’t decide if the lonely morning
or the still and quiet night hurts more

Even though I wanted all this
don’t know what I’m fighting for
if I catch my breath for one moment
it’s like I’m spinning on the floor

I can’t bare the stillness
why was it me who stayed behind
Trying to live like the clock’s a bomb
still nothing every makes sense

Can’t be free with these heavy boots
I made and tied on tightly too

Even though I wanted all this
don’t know what I’m fighting for
if I catch my breath for one moment
it’s like I’m spinning on the floor

Trying to live like the clock’s a bomb
still nothing every makes sense    
Can’t be free with these heavy boots
I made and tied on tightly too

Even though

One Last Christmas

Frost is on the window panes
I'm wearing two sweaters
Sounds of everything we love
Are all around us
Home is my light in the darkest night
Rhe wind comes through the front door
Like a lonely song

Full moon up in the sky
And all the stars are shining
We said the last one up
keeps the fire burning
Counting the sleeps we still have in my mind
The helpless feeling that
There’s nothing I can do

Please give me one more Christmas morning
Even the birds won’t sing without you
All of the days I took for granted
How do i slow the clock this one time
Just for this one last Christmas

Talk of the sweeter times
When we were happy
Somehow we thought that it would last forever
Late nights and early mornings on the beach
Laughing by the fireside
When everyone asleep

Please give me one more Christmas morning
Even the birds won’t sing without you
All of the days I took for granted
How do i slow the clock this one time
Just for this one last Christmas
