Official “The Lead” Lyrics

You walk through the door;
my walls go out the window.
Your magnetic force…
it’s undeniable.
 
I think we know what I do to you…
I think you wanna pull me in, too…
a drink or two & I’m lost in you.

You throw a million pick up lines—
I don’t buy it; no, I don’t buy it.
Hit me up a million times—
I don’t buy in; no, I don’t buy in.
And you should have no effect,
but you always get the best of me,
‘cause we get to 2am, 
and my heart takes the lead.

Last call comes and goes,
and I know I can’t pretend 
we don’t already know
this isn’t where it ends.

I think we know what I do to you…
I think you wanna pull me in, too…
a drink or two & I’m lost in you.

You throw a million pick up lines—
I don’t buy it; no, I don’t buy it.
Hit me up a million times—
I don’t buy in; no, I don’t buy in.
And you should have no effect,
but you always get the best of me,
‘cause we get to 2am, 
and my heart takes the lead.

lovely listeners…in honor of mental health awareness month, repose & i created a song that truly means so much to me. “up from here” is all about hope. it’s about seeing the smallest shred of light that pulls you through, even when you’re at rock bottom. it’s about this inner-knowing that things won’t always be as painful as they might feel in that moment. when i went through the darkest parts of my depression, hope truly saved me & kept me holding on. i’m so grateful that it did. if you’re struggling, please know that you’re not alone & that things really can get better if you keep fighting to save yourself. xo, r.

Official “Up From Here” Lyrics

Living on the edge of broken,
hitting every dead end hopeless;
streak of promises ending in nothing
far too many times.
Ventured out, but walked on aimless,
but somehow, the kick-downs couldn’t tame this
flame that indicated dark was on the verge
of light.

Something said you’re halfway there,
torn, but never past repair,
all the ways you’ve crashed,
all the shattered glass…
yeah, it’s only up from here.
Something said you’re halfway there,
torn, but never past repair,
yeah, you’ve hit the lowest lows, but highs follow,
it’s only up from here.

The storms will clear
the atmosphere;
it’s up from here…
up from here.

Tried & failed to find some purpose;
found betrayal under each surface.
When’s it gonna end? Always wondering 
far too many times.
Held up all the heavy burdens,
but through it all, the falls— they kept me learning.
Gonna take the hurt, & someday make it worth 
the fight.

Something said you’re halfway there,
torn, but never past repair,
all the ways you’ve crashed,
all the shattered glass…
yeah, it’s only up from here.
Something said you’re halfway there,
torn, but never past repair,
yeah, you’ve hit the lowest lows, but highs follow,
it’s only up from here.

The storms will clear
the atmosphere;
it’s up from here…
up from here.

The storms will clear
the atmosphere;
it’s up from here.

The storms will clear
the atmosphere;
it’s up from here…
up from here.

Official “Fate” Lyrics

If you read the lines in my hands,
could you see what I can? 
Would they lead to yours?

Yeah, I know there’s paths we can’t plan,
‘cause fate will deal its own hand, 
but I want mine in yours.

And if fate let me, 
the second that we met, we’d 
never once forget each 
moment that we had. 

And if fate let me, 
I’d never stop collecting 
each second that you kept me
closer than the last…
if fate could hand me that.

If this were another lifetime, 
would your soul still find mine?
could I still be yours? 

Yeah, I know they say that love’s blind,
and fate will make our timelines,
but I want mine with yours.

And if fate let me, 
the second that we met, we’d 
never once forget each 
moment that we had. 

And if fate let me, 
I’d never stop collecting 
each second that you kept me
closer than the last…
if fate could hand me that.

If fate let me…

In Honor of Kristoff St. John & Dedicated to Lola St. John

Rachel wrote “Warrior” the day after her friend, Kristoff’s, sudden passing. Her profound grief was a driving force behind what drew her to the piano that day, & the lyrics were woven together as Rachel reflected upon a collection of Kristoff’s last words to her. They crossed paths while battling their own mental health struggles & found tranquility in one another’s support & kindness. Rachel recorded “Warrior” as a gift to Kristoff’s daughter, & the experience sparked her desire to advocate for other areas of mental health through songwriting.
.
Official “Warrior” Lyrics
Written by Rachel Leycroft

The brightest light touched on everything you crossed 
despite the fight you battled into the dark.
You gave your soul with little left for you behind 
and held your hope with such little left to find.

And in a moment, nothing’s the same.
And we are left to endure the pain
of all that’s missing, starting today.
And it’s the greatest feat.
Your passion, love and peace...made the world change.

Chorus
You said life holds magic, even if brief.
You said we establish our own journey.
You told me I’m a warrior, as long as I believe. 
You said you’re here if I need. I wish it were that easy. 
‘Cause not a soul was ready for you to leave... 
And I know you weren’t ready to leave.

We’re luckiest if we feel an empty space; 
the silence, the void that only you’d erase. 
Because with this, we had the gift of having you. 
We’ll try to live the way you tried your best to do.

And in a moment, nothing makes sense,
and we are left to make sense of it.
And all that’s missing is forever missed.
And it’s the greatest feat,
but when we dream, we’ll meet...and you’ll be your happiest.

Chorus

Bridge
I know your girls are desperately missing you; 
and all the world, too, but maybe Julian needed you. 
And just like him, you left us all too soon...
but it’s impossible to forget you.

Chorus
(But you’re a warrior on your new journey.)

"Alive" is a metaphorical view of the wish to escape social anxiety. In the song, Rachel relates social anxiety to the feeling of being weighted down & asks to give up aspects of herself that are not being represented with authenticity. Ultimately, she asks to give enough away to free herself & escape the burdensome fear of others’ judgments. “Falling into the horizon” represents the weights of our insecurities being lifted; it’s a moment that lights our souls alive, reminding us that our authentic selves are timeless. They have always been within us, but are often masked by our fears & our desire to be accepted. Rachel hopes to encourage others to reconnect with their true selves again, no matter how many years they have been hidden.

Lyrics: 

Here’s my heavy heart, 
and here’s my heavy soul.  Can I give enough 
til’ I am whole, til’ I am whole, til’ I am whole?

Here’s my heavy shoes; 
they always tied me down.
Can I give them up, 
and leave the ground, and leave the ground, and leave the ground?

Pre-Chorus
I’m falling right into the horizon.
It’s calling and renewed, but timeless.
I just need a moment that’s amplified,
where I’m weightless, yet I’m fully lit alive.

Chorus
Can I be weightless, just for tonight,
so I can leave the tide behind?
It’s rarity, I get to be 
so fully lit alive.

Here’s my heavy wings; 
they only went so far.
Can I give them up, 
and ride a star, and ride a star, and ride a star?

Pre-Chorus

And while at empty, I’m freely whole.
The stars I envied, they fill my soul.

The “you” in this song refers to our own soul. The narrator is speaking to their inner-self. They ask to escape the shadows of shame & judgment, & instead, to live their truth courageously. The lyrics speak of seeking our inner-most truths & escaping from the barriers we often constrict ourselves within. Sometimes, we can become lost & misguided when we are influenced by outside sources rather than trusting in our own intuition to lead us. However, when we live authentically, our inner selves can be our most trustworthy compass. 
.
Official “Within” Lyrics
Written by Rachel Leycroft

Take me away from this place.
Wake me from this conscious state.
Save me from shadows and space,
and replace me with my truest fate. 

Pre-Chorus
I’m caught in a whirlwind,
but my heart lights the way.
and given the unknown, I’m driven to fully let go 
and trust it leads to you one day.

Chorus
So meet me on Saturn’s rings, 
and I will wait in endless space for you.
And keep me in your galaxy,
‘cause it’s the only way I know which way to go 
it’s all engulfed in you.
It’s all within you.

It’s a dream world with nothing to hide.
I’m a dream girl with nothing defined.
So break me from boundaries confined,
and you’ll find me on the other side.

Sometimes, trusting in the unknown is the best decision we can ever make. Sometimes, our happiness stems from the most unexpected places...places (or people) that we might not have intentionally looked for. Even if you’ve been significantly hurt in the past, try not to close your heart to the possibility of trusting in someone again.
.
Official “Falling” Lyrics
Written by Rachel Leycroft

There are far and few in between 
That measure up to you, darling
And your eyes are the only ones I see 
This crowded room might as well be empty 

Because I only have eyes for you
My heartstrings are tied to you
And when you string me along
It’s only to your arms 
And then I fall into you 

And I’d give it all 
Just to fall for you
Forever’s never so long 
When I spend it falling, falling for you
Falling for you

You are so very effortlessly 
All that I never knew I would need 
You stole my heart, plus I gave you the key
You’re every day’s silver lining 

Because I only have eyes for you
My heartstrings are tied to you
And when you string me along
It’s only to your arms 
And then I fall into you 

You turn mundane to honeymoon 
Like only you know how to do

And I’d give it all 
Just to fall for you
Forever’s never so long 
When I spend it falling, falling for you
Falling for you

Official "Story" Lyrics
Written by Rachel Leycroft

There is a story, it was written for each
Of us, and it’s yet to be told
This is the last one, it’s always the best one
But first you must rid of the old
At first it’s on repeat, a march to the same beat
Around and around like we do
They proceed to tell us darling keep your head up
Go on march along like you do

And then, all the sudden
You face the final spin
You know, what’s comin’
And you want it again and again

‘Cause baby, is this a dream
Or maybe, I can hardly sleep
‘Cause baby, you’re what was missing
The final piece to my story

There is a pathway, not always the right way
But always the one that we go
This is the one to get through so it’s done
So we leave all behind that we know
And it’s a masquerade, it keeps us in a daze
The concealing ways that we do
We pull strings of corsets, taking away our breath
The way we progress like we do

And then, all the sudden
The mask is ripped to shreds
You know, what’s coming next
And never will you need to look back

‘Cause baby, is this a dream
Or maybe, I can hardly sleep
‘Cause baby, you’re what was missing
The final piece to my story

The carousel, we want it to end
The wishing well, we want to dive in
We’re wishing well to stories broken
So now, we can begin

Now baby, this isn’t a dream
And I can hardly sleep
‘Cause baby, you’re the missing piece
Fit perfectly in my story

‘Cause once we reach the final page
We forget about yesterday’s
And I don’t know how I ever lived
Without you in every minute
And we are only at the start of it

And it’s a masquerade, it keeps us in a daze
The concealing ways that we do
We pull strings of corsets, taking away our breath
The way we progress like we do

And then, all the sudden
The mask is ripped to shreds
You know, what’s coming next
And never will you need to look back

‘Cause baby, is this a dream
Or maybe, I can hardly sleep
‘Cause baby, you’re what was missing
The final piece to my story

The carousel, we want it to end
The wishing well, we want to dive in
We’re wishing well to stories broken
So now, we can begin

Now baby, this isn’t a dream
And I can hardly sleep
‘Cause baby, you’re the missing piece
Fit perfectly in my story

‘Cause once we reach the final page
We forget about yesterday’s
And I don’t know how I ever lived
Without you in every minute
And we are only at the start of it
