Honeysuckle

You are my honeysuckle, I'm your honey bee
'Cause I kiss your mouth and you taste so sweet
Yeah, the sun comes out when you're next to me
The sky goes to gold from grey in winter
Your smile just slows my busy heart
Your shine feels like a Sunday in September
Lazy days & golden rays like dusk and dawn
You shape the clouds I'm dancing on
You are my honeysuckle, I'm your honey bee
'Cause I kiss your mouth and you taste so sweet
Yeah, the sun comes out when you're next to me
Birds ain't got nothing on you in spring time
You blossom into melody so beautifully
And if there's one thing I can't get out of my mind,
It's your song, I sing along whenever you're around
Together we're a savory sound
You are my honeysuckle, I'm your honey bee
'Cause I kiss your mouth and you taste so sweet
Yeah, the sun comes out when you're next to me
Upside down & inside out,
I've fallen in love, but still somehow,
You've got me high above the clouds
You taste so fine, you taste so sweet,
You bring me easily to me knees
Honey, you are the one that I adore
You are my honeysuckle, I'm your honey bee
'Cause I kiss your mouth and you taste so sweet
Yeah, the sun comes out when you're next to me

Echoed Love
04:17
|
|||
|
Wish I'd met you years ago
Good people are so hard to find
Missed out on you, didn't even know you
Even know
You were right here all this time
Why does life go the way that it goes?
Why does one feel more than the other one shows?
Why do I still feel all alone,
Holding on to an echo...?
Why'd you have to be what I needed?
Captivated heart, then you freed it
Fading out, but I can still feel it
Echoed love, echoed love
Wish that you weren't leaving now
Well, if I'm really wishing true...
Wish I knew you first somehow
Somehow
Before they would all be taken with you
Your kindness is a magnet
And no, I don't mistake it for weakness
In you, but for me it's an Achilles
Heel, pull my reigns, need to leave it
You've got your own life, you'll go live it
I'll be here with fortuitous feelings
How did I find it hiding in plain sight?
And now it's gone
Why'd you have to be what I needed?
Captivated heart, then you freed it
Fading out, but I can still feel it
Echoed love, echoed love
Echoed love, echoed love
Feeling your echo
Feeling your echo
Why does life go the way that it goes?
Why does one feel more than the other one shows?
Why do I still feel all alone,
Holding on to an echo...?
Why'd you have to be what I needed?
Captivated heart, then you freed it
Fading out, but I can still feel it
Echoed love, echoed love
And I wish I could be cool,
But I don't know how
Can't pick up the phone,
But I can't forget you now
Feeling your echo
Feeling your echo
Feeling your echo
Don't wanna let go
Holding on to an echo

Silent Conversations
03:49
|

Hey you, hi, how are you doing?
Oh, I'm fine, yeah it's been a minute
Isn't it nice outside?
Where you working now?
How's the family?
Glad to hear, yeah, you sound happy
Well, isn't that alright
Is it torture seeing my name on the screen?
Do you ever wish you'd never met me?
Ain't that what I want to say?
Ain't that what I need to say?
What's new? I hear you've been moving
And shaking things up
Can't wait to see what's next in store for you
Gotta make it out to the next show
My window of time is small
But I will try my best
Do you know right now how hard it is to speak?
Do you know the many nights I’ve cried myself to sleep?
Ain't that what you want to say?
Ain't that what you need to say?
Well I hope that all is fine...
Do you ever think of me?
Oh, the pleasure's been all mine...
I wish you a million apologies
Let me know if you have time to get together...
Oh, my mind & all these
Silent conversations
Getting deeper to nowhere
And ain't that what I want to say?
Ain't that what you need to say?
Ain't this what we want to say?
Ain't that what we need to say,
Need to say, need to say
All these silent conversations
Getting deeper to nowhere
Ain't this what we want to say
Ain't this what we need to say
Ain’t that what I want to…
Ain’t that what you need to...

Interlude: Mirror
01:27
|
|||
|
We met in good faith,
her eyes a mirror to everything
I could not face,
I wonder: where do you go to hide?
That place where respite waits—
asks nothing of you
but tenderness. A space to let fall
your most anxious & sacred armor.
You call your eyes reborn
but they’re broken & clouded.
I thought this place restored
but it’s shrouded in scorn.
The moment a baby is born,
they see only with an open
heart. Look in that mirror,
try to see a bit clearer.
Not the fear you used
to twist truths and harm me.
I was armed with nothing
but these open arms and all
this love inside me. I’d held
so much so close inside.
It never even crossed
my mind to check my blindside.

Blindside
03:52
|
|||
|
You wouldn't understand now, would you?
It'd be like the clouds trying to see the air
We've all got a little bit in us now, don't we?
Too filthy & high up on ourselves
To see just a little bit clearer
To see just a little bit clearer, oh
To see just a little bit clearer
To see just a little bit clearer, oh
To see like we're looking in the mirror
To see like bigger than the picture
Eyes without out blindside
Go back to the very beginning now, won't you
Their ghosts are within us when we're born
Before calling that one a sinner, I warn you,
Remember the grave is where you came from
To see just a little bit clearer
To see just a little bit clearer, oh
To see just a little bit clearer
To see just a little bit clearer, oh
To see like we're looking in the mirror
To see like bigger than the picture
Eyes without out blindside
To see just a little bit clearer
To see just a little bit clearer, oh
To see just a little bit clearer
To see just a little bit clearer, oh
To see like we're looking in the mirror
To see like bigger than the picture
Eyes without out blindside

Courageous
04:36
|
|||
|
Distance is your truth,
But you're too polite to say it
My heart, now in your hands—
Sometimes I wish you'd break it
I'll take off my armor,
Surrender to your final blow
Just tell me that's worth it;
That it will help you let me go
You can't have your heart broken
If you don't put your whole heart in
At least you know mine was open
And I'd do it all again
Hearts of gold are made on the battlefield
(Hearts of gold are always revealed)
Wounded hearts take more than time to heal
(Wounded hearts unveil what is real)
If love's the sword, then I'll lay down my shield
(I'll lay down my shield)
I'll be the sacrifice for you to feel
Courageous
This isn't at all
The way that I had planned it
Never thought, on this hallowed ground,
We would be standing
Still hear its last breath:
The miracle that came to die
Laid to rest what was left
For this last goodbye
But you can't have your heart broken
If you don't put your whole heart in
At least you know mine was open
And I'd do it all again
Hearts of gold are made on the battlefield
(Hearts of gold are always revealed)
Wounded hearts take more than time to heal
(Wounded hearts unveil what is real)
If love's the sword, then I'll lay down my shield
(I'll lay down my shield)
I'll be the sacrifice for you to feel
Courageous
You think I have it all
But I don't have you
I'll take the fall, take the fall...
Hearts of gold are made on the battlefield
(Hearts of gold are always revealed)
Wounded hearts take more than time to heal
(Wounded hearts unveil what is real)
If love's the sword, then I'll lay down my shield
(I'll lay down my shield)
I'll be the sacrifice for you to feel
Courageous,
In love, in love
Courageous
Courageous

This Road
04:14
|
|||
|
From the first time that I saw you,
I knew I was in for something on this road
From a quick exchange of glances
To a love that I had never thought I'd know,
Now I know
No one tells you when you start out
That this life may journey where you don't expect
And I know we've climbed to mountain tops of joy
And fallen deep in the ocean depths
But I don't regret it
Oooo I could go with you for a lifetime
We could travel through the South and
Drive the Western coast on Highway 1 'til it ends
We could stay right here forever
Or explore some place exotic we've never been
Then do it all again
Oooo I could go with you for a lifetime
Oh, to grow old & know this road with you...
For a lifetime
Oooo for a lifetime
Oooo I could go with you for a lifetime

A Mi Lado
05:04
|
|||
|
It's vintage-warm, but far from home
Nostalgic & unfamiliar
We said goodbye in early morn
These golden hours make it feel like forever
Te quiero, mi querida, aquí
En mi corazón
Con sólo amor
I thought I saw you in the clouds;
Your laughter pouring out like rays of sunlight
And all the colors wrap me around
Reminding me of what your love feels like
If home is where the heart is
But I don't know where my heart is
Then how am I supposed to
Find my way back home to you?
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
A mi lado, ven a mi lado
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
A mi lado, ven a mi lado
If I can feel you, dear,
I carry home right here with me
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
Love can take you to a place,
Test your measure of full devotion
But I have found that when I cannot find your face,
You always guide me back to what is certain:
That home is where the heart is
Now I know where my whole heart is
I've seen the way to go to
Find my way back home to you
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
A mi lado, ven a mi lado
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
A mi lado, ven a mi lado
'Cause I can feel you, dear
I carry home right here with me
Can you feel me now?
Can you feel me now?
Si tengo tu corazón a mi lado,
Siempre estaré enamorada
Si tengo tu corazón a mi lado,
Siempre estaré enamorada
Si tengo tu corazón a mi lado,
Siempre estaré enamorada de ti...

The World In Its Song
05:34
|
|||
|
Spending time, just me and Clyde
Speckled clouds, colored grey & white
Simple stroll turned into an enterprise
I started writing when the rain came down
I heard the lyrics in the pouring sound
I found the melody in the cryptic skies
More beautiful than my soul can take...
Times like these
Write the poetry
To our lives, like a dream,
Bring us hope & give us peace
They're singing like,
"Don't forget, don't forget to look around
And see the world in its song"
Let the whole world sing along
Singing like, "La la la la la la..."
River & a wet guitar
Gentle breeze & an old train car
Sweatin' more than ever, but I don't care
Common sailors on the river wide,
Wooden shadows on the other side,
Neither deeper than the history buried there
The sun still rose from his bed today
It might rain again, but I'll still sing the same
Times like these
Write the poetry
To our lives, like a dream,
Bring us hope & give us peace
They're singing like,
"Don't forget, don't forget to look around
And see the world in its song"
Let the whole world sing along
Singing like, "La la la la la la..."
The sun still rose from its bed today
It might rain again, but I'll still sing the same
Singing like, "La la la la la la..."
Times like these
Write the poetry
To our lives, like a dream,
Bring us hope & give us peace
They're singing like,
"Don't forget, don't forget to look around
And see the world in its song"
Let the whole world sing along
Singing like, "La la la la la la..."

Flattering Affliction
04:00
|
|||
|
The most flattering affliction,
The sweetest shattering,
Was the sound of something breaking—
From walls to familiarity
There was nothing I could do
Oh, the vulnerability
We found the best of the worst
In our lonely humanity
Call it love, call it fiction,
Call it honorable addiction
It hurts to hold on, hurts to let go
The most flattering affliction
Thoughts of you are simultaneous:
Butterflies & pain
It's uncomfortable to sit in tension
Knowing I still want to feel the same
I wouldn't listen to those songs
They made me think of you
Now they are the only way
I ever hear from you
Call it love, call it fiction,
Call it honorable addiction
It hurts to hold on, hurts to let go
The most flattering affliction
While you're forgetting me,
I'm still trying to remember
Bittersweet contains us
Like a fire in the winter
Everything that's worth it hurts some of the time…

Lost
04:08
|

|
Open my eyes and see
No sense of certainty
Open my eyes and see
Running like fear from freedom
Wondering is this a dream,
Wondering how this could be?
And I'm drifting out of sight
From my whole life now
As we crash & burn
And find we're lost by sea
SOS
I'm lost
Can you find me?
Can you find me?
Who I was is gone
Stuck on this island
Sunken inside me
Everyone's scared to be
Buried in history
Everyone’s scared to leave
How can we honestly
Live in this honesty
Knowing that death will sting?
And I'm drifting out of sight
From my whole life now
As we crash & burn
And find we're lost by sea
SOS
I'm lost
Can you find me?
Can you find me?
Who I was is gone
Stuck on this island
Sunken inside me
SOS
I'm lost
Can you find me?
Who I was is gone
On this island
Sunken inside me
I'm lost, can you find me?
Can you find me?

See You Through
05:03
|
|||
|
I don't know where to start
Frozen in loneliness—
Not the kind where there's no one around,
Wishing to be surrounded by
Talk, talk
Talking don't mean a thing
If it's safe in its emptiness
I need promise of
Truth & intention;
The taste of connection to fill me
What if we're all searching for a meaning
For it all to explain the feeling
That we should belong?
I can't be the only one...
All I need
Is someone to stay here with me
And say, "I'll see you though,
I'll see you through,
I'll see you through."
Oh, I've been in the garden
At least where I thought I was
They all pretended to pray
While my life slipped away
From true love, love
Love is the only truth
It's the only thing fireproof
It has power to free & to change
To redeem & to save us from ourselves
What if we're all searching for a meaning
For it all to explain the feeling
That we should belong?
I can't be the only one...
All I need
Is someone to stay here with me
And say, "I'll see you though,
I'll see you through,
I'll see you through."
Oh see you through
Oh see you through
Oh see you through
Love will see you through
Love will see you through
Love will see you through
What if we're all searching for a meaning
For it all to explain the feeling
That we should belong?
I can't be the only one...
I don't know how it ends,
But I know we're all searching for
Love to see us for who we are, truly,
And see us through to
Who we could be
