In Between 02:53
In Between I can tell by looking at you that you’re almost gone I can tell by looking at you that it won’t be long take a moment, take a minute, stick with it, see if you can find all of the places in me that you’ll leave behind cuz you got that look like you’re leaving and I feel stuck in between again in between the version of us that I wanna be and the version that is sitting right in front of me cuz I like your appetite and the way you taste and I’d hate for that to go to waste and I like the way you were and the way you are I’m just scared that it’s all gone too far cuz you got that look like you’re dealing with something that you never thought you’d have to again and I feel stuck in between again in between the way it was and the way it is before it all came down to this in between the way we are and the way we were before this all came down to her cuz you got that look like you’re feeling something that you never thought you’d feel again and I feel stuck in between again I can tell by looking at us that we’re almost done

Love Me Anyway There’s somethings stuck between my guts and my chest I’ve had no luck though I’ve tried my best to work it out or let it move on its own all i know is that i can’t be its home cuz I can’t change the way I want me to and I cant play by all my broken rules so I’ll just wait and give myself a break and in the meantime I’ll love me anyway Theres something here between my chest and my throat and all it takes is to sing the right note and it flows out just like the honey i make from all these B’s and C’s and D’s and E’s but I can’t change the way I want me to and I cant play by all my broken rules so I’ll just wait and give myself a break and in the meantime I’ll love me anyway and it aint always easy to look in the mirror and see the truth sometimes I wish I had the answers I believed in in my youth so I guess I’ll change the ways I’m meant to and I think I’ll try to forget all the rules so I’ll just wait and enjoy my fate and all the while I’ll love me anyway and I think I’ll try to love me anyway and I think it’s time to love me anyway

Country Sugar I used to think that the city was calling me with all its lights and its pretty things I used to think that the only way to make it was to fake it in the Big Apple so let me take this opportunity to redefine what “make it” means to me It means: tall grass and crickets and a nice big garden out back it means sunrise and apple pies and most of all piece of mind well, sure some money’d be nice but im rich in a way you city folk don’t understand so sit with me on this piece of land and we’ll see if we can get you to forget your plans so keep your noises and your dirty streets cuz ive got that country sugar to keep me sweet and it took a while to come to this I had to knock that pedestal down and I’d just rather be myself in this tiny Southern town so turn me up and tune me in to the station of country living turn me up and tune me in to the station that i reside in the only lights i care to see are fireflies sayin hi to me I used to think that the city was calling me but now I know the country’s all I need

Ashes 03:54
Ashes i think its about the time i was over this phase its taken me much too long to put out the blaze that burned so long in me and turned so dull in you and in spite of everything you remain so cool so i walk through the ashes of what we have been and i’m blackened with stories up to my chin and i’m charred from head to toe but onwards, alone I’ll go and as i make my way out of the haze still might take some time to wash off the days that i keep so close to me that grew so dull in you and as they swirl down the drain you do too so i scrub off the ashes and old memories and the water is dirty up to my knees and i’m soaked from head to toe but onwards, alone i’ll go and i’ll lay in the sun to dry and maybe, if i want to i’ll cry just a little for you and and a little for me and a little for us but i know in the end its not worth all the fuss now that i’m standing on my own two feet ill admit to one small hope that someday we’ll meet and you will bring your matches along with a smile and then maybe we could make sparks for a while but of course this is only a dream that is smoldering at its seam

Short & Sassy I knew it’d happen at some point you’d turn around and you would think you could be my friend well, I have got news for you, boy I’m past the point of letting you back in I bet you thought I’d be willing to sit and listen to you brag about the shit you do but for your information my life’s become a party and no one invited you so good luck out there I hope you find what you’re looking for I guess I used to care but not so much anymore

The Way 02:22
The Way they say money dont come easy they say its all a game once i think i got this *ish!* figured out turns out it’s all just the same can somebody help a sister out I just wanna know how to play I know I got the moves in here somewhere I just need help seeing the way they say money dont grow on no damn trees well, I could have told you that been workin in the garden of my soul but I dont see no green leaves yet can somebody help a sister out I just wanna know how to play I know I got the moves in here somewhere I just need help seeing the way and I can trust all i want to that it’ll all work out but still sometimes i get worried when I look at my bank account can somebody help a sister out I just wanna know how to play I know I got the moves in here somewhere I just need help seeing the way

Memory Lane 04:24
Memory Lane today I tripped on Memory Lane and as I fell I reached out and called your name but I skinned my knee cuz I hoped you be there like you used to be but you never came so I sat on the ground and I looked around the little town that we’d built with its golden streets all old and sweet and all the little places that we used to meet but it was not the same and no one’s to blame so I’ll walk back home and I’ll lay my head to rest and I’ll be alone but I’ll trust that it’s all for the best tonight I’ll dream of what I’ll say next time I see you on Memory Lane I’ll say, “Come with me cuz I know of a place that you and I would rather be” and you will sing my name and I’ll say, “Come here, babe to the present day take a walk with me and I swear I’ll be here for you if you ever skin your knee”

Where I Am 03:22
Where I Am So I’ll run on faith until I’ve run through but 99% of the time it just feels like I’m running on fumes I tried to fool the mystics with all my logistics but it didn’t take long to see that i was just a pretender with a crazy agenda i made myself believe so then i put all this trust all up inside my guts and inside of my chest and then i mustered the gumption to quit making assumptions and give my soul a rest i had to slow down i had such certainty in my young 20’s about who I was gonna be come to find out I was just finding my way don’t hold on to something that don’t fit you because it just wasnt meant to I feel no certainty in these late 20’s about where I’m gonna land so I guess I’ll just be where I am

November 04:19
November you know that soap that i used? the morning after and that afternoon how it stuck in my memory like velcro now that soap's at my job and youre being replaced with diapers and strollers and crayons and marbles in a house that's neither mine nor yours and certainly not ours you know that song that i wrote? the one you told me you loved note for note how it flowed from my fingers like honey now that song's in my head and it can't find its place in a mind that's neither mine nor yours and certainly not ours and they say that these things take time they say that. they say that these things take time i just hope it wont take long. you know those things that i said the night before you left? just you and me in my bed i'd say them over and over again in a time that will be mine and yours and hopefully ours

One of the Ones I checked the headlines yesterday to see if there was any good news that might come my way I saw your picture in the center of the page your smile just made me stop and start to sway you might not be the one but I think you’re one of the ones I tried to read the story but I couldn’t find the words so I stopped and laughed and cuz I knew that’s just for the birds I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re on the front page tomorrow too kinda wonder what your paper looks like but I hope it’s me and you you might not be the one but I think you’re one of the ones
