lyrics:
every day i pray
the Lord may taketh you away from me
cuz only when i’m awake
i let every movement sway with what you say

and it’s not good for me
try to chase it before we go farther
than we both know we should
you're just water but i’m turning you into my wine

so lately
i’ve been placing my worth on the way you say my name
and lately
i’ve been sealing my lips with gold so i don’t call you my
baby

i count the hours
and let your sweetness remain until i sour
what once was quiet desire
will silence me as its shouts grow louder

and lately
i’ve been placing my worth on the way you say my name
and lately
i’ve been secretly craving the day you might call me
baby 
give this rose a title and maybe
you will be mine

lately, baby

lyrics:
i’ve been watching these waves crash by myself
ask me why and if i knew i’d tell
i’ve been sifting my way through every sign, every line
and you ask but i don’t know why

you’ve been calming my waves all by yourself
i ask how but you’ll never tell
you’ve been making your home inside my eyes, line by line
and i won’t ask cuz we won’t know why

you’ve built a place
for me to stay
‘til my storm dies down
so i think that now,
i can say that

green looks like brown looks like blue
and darling, they all look like you
sending my thanks to the skies
for all this time when i can call you mine

barefoot standing on the rock but you’re smiling
i can’t see through all this dust but you’re shining
and i know where you go i can’t follow
so before we reach that road
it would be my honor to hold you

green leaves like brown leaves like blue
and darling, soon you’re leaving too
i’ll bottle up all this time
to look back on when you’re no longer mine

if anyone asks,
i've always cared more than you'll ever know

and storms will pass
and feelings tame
but my devotion remains
foundations crumble
and futures shake
but my love for you never changes

and this never will leave my lips
But when i met you then pain kissed bliss
and nothing was the same
and these words will wash out with the rain
but darling know that you were made
to have the world and nothing less

so i’ll plead my case with all these stars
That they’ll find and stay wherever you are		
for the girl who loves you so

(special thanks to Peter Tracy for his incredible cello playing!)
puttin all my faith in paper walls
count how long it takes until they fall
it’s that time of the year again
and we’re almost at our end

and i can feel you thickening the line

in a beat i knew that i love you
though my heart was never one to tell the truth
anyhow but
it doesn’t matter cuz now i know
as soon as i see my cracks when they start to show
and it’s time for me to stop and let it go

and i feel nothing
for now

i’ve always known one day you’d come around
that you’d grow tired of the way i pound
on your walls cuz
i tend to find every single line
see how much i’d need to try
to break each one
and i know you’re tired

and i know that all i am to you
is a breath of fresh air in the night
a brief reprieve to tide you over until morning light
and i could hold on tighter
if i ever thought that i would have a fight
if i thought i could change your mind

but i’ll say nothing
i’ll be nothing to you again
just one day for you to find
your peace of mind
but i will sink underneath
the weight of this torch i carry for you

so go and change this world
cuz i’ll be waiting at home
For the next one

Paper Walls (ft Peter Tracy)

my love
is that too much to say?
is it too much to find warmth in your closeness 
to hold you in the depths of the rain

my love
am i allowed to ask
for just one more moment 
to be yours
to remember how i used to fit in your hands

'cause i might be reaching
but i think i’m steering
my way to you through those hands

they gave us the lines
but we colored beyond
now we’re bleeding past the page

they combed through the sky
yet all they could find
was the thread between our names

'cause darlin
i’ve prayed day and night to hold someone like you
and i know
that time and again that you’d always hold true
and make your way home to me

you were coming home to me
to make your way back in my arms

Day N Night

tell me again how it's worth all that time
let me pretend that i don't see through the lie
show me my heart, direct it where You like
let me pretend that this will satisfy

to go it alone, where else would my fate lie?
they all know what they seek, while i'm still wondering why

my praises are loudest when i cry from the hollows
my knees are bruised from all Your paths i still follow
my prayer sounds clearest when i forget the sound of my name

i know and i see all the good You want me to find
but it's never enough
You can blame it on my pride

and you'll find all my beauty in the outlines of shadows
and i always hang on long past my time to let go
and i don't quite know why You put me here anymore

i may not be free but i'm comfortable
i may not reach the heights but if i strain enough i can still see the sky

so maybe i'm meant to lead them to You while i stay behind
maybe i'm meant to fall for, believe in, buy into that pretty lie

Salt

i scream
i pound
You wave and walk away
a fool to think
that i might have a place
anywhere
i've only learned how to take up spaces
where i'm not meant to go

stream the Escapisms album by The Songwriters Circle !!!!!!!!!!!!!
you drift around
through the old shopping ground
looking for a body in my dream

i'm ghost hunting
like it's 2003
distorted like a broken tv screen

i’m scared about what it means
that i only see you when i sleep
when i open my eyes
someone else is next to me

i talked with your dad
says that he’s in command
when he goes to shake my hand
it falls off

i get so close
to touching a ghost
when you touch me back
i'm surprised

i’m scared about what it means
that i only see you when i sleep
when i open my eyes
someone else is next to me

can't love you no more
can't love you no more
can't love you no more in the way that i want
can't love you no more
can't love you no more
i can't love you the way that i want to

the talk went so bad
you could tell you felt had
by a man
you thought you saw right through

i'm in love with you
i see you when i sleep
when i open my eyes
it's someone else next to me

can't love you no more
can't love you no more
i can't love you in the way that i want to

Ghost Hunter (originally by Liv Victorino)

my love is easy
my love's exciting
my love will roar
but it swears to keep you warm

my love runs on your terms
so come fill me up
but only if you want
and only when it's dark

lean into me baby
it's been too long
since i've learned my body
leaves me in the morn'

lean deeper still baby
i'll calm the storms
you hold in your shoulders
and i'll swallow them whole
