Ready for the Storm

Camp a little while

Lyrics

E
Old glass on the window sill 
		   A
	playin tricks with the light
E
Blue refractions dance brilliantly,
		  A
	once toxic bromite

E
Analgesics, tranquilizers,
	A
	poured with a cup of tea
E
A century has passed and now 
		     A
	they’re where they should be

E			      A
My heart is open now
E			      F#m
My heart is open now
E			      A
My heart is open now
E
Do what you will to me

A					    [weird B?]    B

Lyrics

C				     Em 
I miss the days when I’d drive over on a whim 
C			  Em
I feel the most present in your presence
G				     C	
And you knew every ordinary detail 
          G		     	     C
of my life and I knew yours

F7				 Em			       F7			       Em
How come no one warned me I’d be lonely most of the time
F7			  Em			    F7					         Em
Here I am just begging you to stay awhile and make me feel alive
  F7				 		       Em
I want you, to know inside your heart and mind
F7					      Em
         Lemme dive into the depths of where our worlds collide
F7							Em
	  I’ll be your goddamn inspiration
F7
If you’ll just let me
       F7		  Em
For one time a week


C				     			     Em 
Now we live in different states and we squeeze in phone calls
C 			   Em
Longing to feel seen
G						     C
No one talks about the hole a friend can leave inside you
G							   C
Off to make their dreams come true

goddamn inspiration

Lyrics

Take me to that secret island
Where no one knows how to find us
Let’s run away and leave everything behind
Take me to that secret island


I want adventure — with you and me
Of doing something — risky
Of being on the — edge between
Falling and — ecstasy
I’ll try — to challenge you
So you’ll challenge me like I want you to


I wanna tresspass — and break the rules
Stay out late — have you think I’m cool
I wanna feel the thrill — of sneaking out
Go someplace quiet — just to stop and shout
the words of my favorite song
You jump in — and sing along

Secret Island

Lyrics

I’m so tired of wandering in circles
I’m so tired of gasping for air
I’m so tired of hiding from no one
Afraid that you’ll leave me bare

    | Chorus:
    | Here I am dreaming
    | Asleep but awake
    | Thinking bout all but what’s right here
    | So don’t wake me up, I wanna stay
    | Stay right here, with you

I’m in the front seat going 90
The gas is locked to the floor
And I am going no where
Just driving longing for more

Chorus / Bridge / Chorus
