The hearts you've stolen
Are in cages they've set
And the words you say
Don't mean a thing
God knows your words
Yes, He knows just what you've done
Once you knew that you had lost your head,
It was all downhill from there
It was all downhill
The words you say
Don't mean a thing
And the words you mean
Are all misread
The diary entries have heard your words
Yes it knows just what you've done
Once you knew that you had lost your head,
It was all downhill from there
It was all downhill (2x)
And it feels like the first time
And it feels like the first year(2x)
Like the first time we met eyes

Lately I've been thinking
Of ways I know you're taking
You're taking me out
You're taking me out
Lately I've been feeling
Like all you're ever doing
Is bringing me down
I'm going down, down, down
When we grow older will you be the girl you used to be?
When we fall further and our boat has drifted out to sea,
Will you abandon ship on our way back home?
Will you be my sail in the raging storm?
Will you guide home away from all this doubt?
Come pull me out
La da da da
And just like that,
I knew this love would last
I only hope to see this heart would cast
A shadow on you
I'm going somewhere far away
Take me to the place where I belong
Ahh yeah
And only the sailor knows his bride

And once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the line
And you were waking
And day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
Heralding a summer's early sway
And all the bulbs all coming in,
To begin
The thrushes bleating battle with the wrens
Disrupts my reverie again
Pegging clothing on the line
Training jasmine how to vine
Up the arbor to your door,
And more
You're standing on the landing with the war
You shouldered all the night before
And once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the line
And you were waking
And day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
A barony of ivy in the trees
Expanding out it's empire by degrees
And all the branches burst a' bloom
Into bloom
Heaven sent this cardinal, maroon
To decorate our living room
And once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the line
And you were waking
And day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill
And years from now
When this old light isn't ambling anymore
Will I bring myself to write
"I give my best to Springville Hill"
And once upon it
The yellow bonnets
Garland all the line
And you were waking
And day was breaking
A panoply of song
And summer comes to Springville Hill

Surrender

Here we go
I'm on my own, scared to know
Just what to show of my heart
I just let go
Of all my pride, set me aside
And I'll go back to the start
As I fall apart
You catch me before I hit the floor
Before I walk right out that door,
You embrace me, You embrace me
Walking alone on an empty street
You take my hand, it's where we meet
It's a sweet surrender
Take me back
To my home town, I hit the ground
And I fall in head first
Break the tide
I swim for land, You take my hand
Your grace is all I thirst
As I fall apart
You catch me before I hit the floor
Before I walk right out that door,
You embrace me, You embrace me
Oh 'cause I'm walking alone on an empty street
You take my hand, it's where we meet
It's a sweet surrender
Now I know that these times are so hard
But I see a light in front of the storm
As I wait for you to come back home
Sometimes I just miss your voice
I surrender (6x)

This structured voice leads me back and forth
With no way of telling what's up
And my heart can't ever decide
What I really need
With my hands stretched towards
My faith in you restored
And I know I won't ever find
What I want
If I stray from the narrowed path
Don't be fooled by my unwillingness
My humility lies beside me
Someday I meet hope to meet it
With my body in the way of my soul
I need to find you
With my hands stretched towards
My faith in you restored
And I know my heart can't ever find
What I want
If I stray from the narrowed path
Don't be fooled by my unwillingness
I'll find my way(x8)
This part I know to be true to you

Jesus, Jesus, could you tell me what the problem is
With the world and all the people in it?
Because I’ve been hearing stories about the end of the world
But I’m in love with a girl and I don’t wanna leave her
And the television screams such hideous things
They’re talking about the war on the radio
They say the whole thing’s gonna blow
And we will all be left alone
No we’ll be dead and we won’t know what hit us
Jesus, Jesus, if you’re up there won’t you hear me
‘Cause I’ve been wondering if you’re listening for quite a while
And Jesus, Jesus, it’s such a pretty place we live in
And I know we fucked it up, please be kind
Don’t let us go out like the dinosaurs
Or blown to bits in a third world war
There are a hundred different things I’d still like to do
I’d like to climb to the top of the Eiffel Tower
Look up from the ground at a meteor shower
And maybe even raise a family
Jesus, Jesus, there are those that say they love you
But they have treated me so damn mean
And I know you said ‘forgive them for they know not what they do’
But sometimes I think they do
And I think about you
If all the heathens burn in hell, do all their children burn as well?
What about the Muslims and the gays and the unwed mothers?
What about me and all my friends?
Are we all sinners if we sin?
Does it even matter in the end if we’re unhappy?
Jesus, Jesus, I’m still looking for answers
Though I know that I won’t find them here tonight
But Jesus, Jesus, could you call me if you have the time?
And maybe we could meet for coffee and work it out
And maybe then I’ll understand what it’s all about

Now i am faced, faced to face the face of Time
And shes counting down
I'm so scared, terrified to return on home
Return home without you
And if i do , I will walk the leather right off my shoes
So i can be face to face with my baby
Take a breathe and hold You
Now shes adrift, in an open field that the world has put out
With flowers blooming around her
Like a ship at sea, up and over the waves she'll be while
I'm back on land bidding farewell with the wave of a hand
As tears come down, oh they'll come down
and as they do, its off with the shoes and into the blue
So i can be face to face with my baby
Take a breathe and hold you/ have you
Don't worry girl
Over the mountains and through the world
Nothing can stop you
Take a chance
Follow your heart and that is that
Otherwise you'll lose yourself in facing the times, I
Render you free now
Get through the hills
Enter the world you're meant to be
Take a breathe and hold / have
ME!
