Song #8 Somedays - Music by Regina Spektor and Lyrics by Regina Spektor and Drew Sorrells
Somedays aren't yours at all
they come and go as if they're someone else's days
they come and leave you behind someone else's face
and it's harsher than yours
and colder than yours.
They come in all quiet sweep up and then they leave,
and you don't hear a single floorboard creak.
They're so much stronger than the friends you try to keep
by your side.
Drowning, drowning
I can't help
Not anymore, don't fall don't go away from sight, don't hide
You are just like my father,
I wanna have your baby
I think I'll love you forever
So can I please.
I'm drowning, drowning
I can't help
Not anymore don't go I love you don't run don't hide
I love myself please stay by my side
Don't fall, don't fall, don't run, don't hide
Don't hide, don't hide, don't hide, don't hide
Somedays aren't yours at all,
they come and go as if they're someone else's days.
They come and leave you behind someone else's face
And it's harsher than yours.
Song #13 True Blue - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
Is it so, you took my on a flight
that left your emotions furled
Is it so, you flew me like you flew no other girl
you held me tight
kissed my lips so light.
Is it so, I opened my wings
let time stand still for you.
Is it so, I fell in love with you
in hardly any time
Our body's entwined
Our kisses so divine.
Our love it was like the sky
never falling down.
Never turns to say goodbye
True Blue - like your eyes
Is is so, the weather grew worse
as our flight continued on.
And is it so, you kept me in the air
even though your heart was gone
But you held me tight
kissed my lips so light.
Is it so, you left me like you left Telluride.
And is it so you wouldn't pay the landing fee to save your life.
You won't go back to save your life.
True Blue, like your eyes
I trust you in the sky
You never wanted my spirit to die
instead you said goodbye.
Our love it was like the sky
never falling down.
And never turns to say goodbye
I thought your blue eyes could fly.
Song #6 Our Home - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
You spun a picture of your dream
that wrapped around my feelings
the things you said were the most
incredible to me.
Though it may be just the way I
interpreted it.
It seemed you were describing
The house you want to live in
But what I heard had a space for me
in your soul and in your heart.
Color your room then color mine, then color ours through time.
I walked into the house
that you had described.
You said it had a secret room
only ever you had seen,
the room where you fully
blossom your soul.
Next I knew we were walking
thru a glass breezeway.
You took my hand and you held it tight
opening up the secret room.
Color your room, then color mine, then color ours through time.
Hold me
I'm falling
I'm scared
to show myself to you.
Trust me girl
I will catch you and
We'll find...and we'll find
Shelter without a roof
structure without walls
a floor we can stand on
and call our home.
Song #10 Mirror of Fear - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
My heart's sliced open
its blood you suck.
You get a temporary feeling
the love of which you lust.
But you intend to leave it idle
waiting for its death.
The fear you have of living
takes life's precious breath.
But I see you
you hide in your fear.
Can tears of ice
make the past disappear.
Come to me
let yourself be seen.
Come to me
let yourself be free
Now, do I know that this is your fear
or is it really mine.
Because if life is just a mirror
the truth will shine...
on me, oh on me...
painfully on me.
The truth will shi-i-i-ne on me,
shine on me.
But I see you
you hide in your fear.
Can tears of ice
make the past disappear.
Come to me
let yourself be seen.
Come to me
let yourself be free.
Song #11 Letting Go - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
How do you know
when to let go.
Are there signs or are there messages from above?
Do I hear you out
or do I tell you
it's time for me to go,
but you're acting like there's something I should know.
In the breezy calming nature of this wind,
I feel my senses driving me within.
I still see you, I still touch you
oh-oo-oh you're so divine,
but I'm crazy in the making of my lines.
To let go, let go, I want you to let goo-o-o
I watched you from a distance
happily strolling by.
You had an effervescent lightness to your gait.
But then you saw me looking out my window,
and your happiness seemed to fade away.
Let go, let go, I want to let you go-o-o.
Sometimes I fail,
to know the scale,
of the steps I need to take for happiness.
Let go, let go, I've let you go-o-o.
Song #7 By Your Side - Music and Lyrics by Drew Sorrells
Been driving that old car for 32 years,
you were ready to find a new home.
So you drove to that oh so familiar place
where you're cared for, loved, and warmed.
To meet an old familiar friend,
who you see every now and then.
I saw your sweet face across the terrace way
your eyes looked like windows to my heart.
Our secret conversation,
was some rare from of art.
And my thoughts became yours,
and your love wrapped around my core.
I was dreaming, we were married,
traveling far away, finding new ways,
new ways.
We met at your familiar place,
had wine and a bite to eat.
Our words were like a magic dance
and philosophy was deep.
Mm, mm it's those eyes.
Your eyes look like mine.
You were dreaming of making love,
your arms around me,
holding our love, though eternity.
A week went by we walked on the creek,
you told me you left your wife.
My heart leaped out in disbelief
and I told you not to cry.
I'll be by your side,
I know I'll be by your side,
always by your side,
you know I'll be by your side.
