Gold Paper Boxes

I wanna fall down
I wanna build up these walls
I wanna find scattered pieces in my hair
‘Cause I don’t care anymore
Wrap up all the little things he says
Put them in a gold paper box and send it up
To another sky
Chorus:
I said you can’t catch me even if you tried
He said believe it or not I’m not ready for goodbye
Well Baby can you make me feel alive
Don’t listen to those empty lies
Verse: 2
In between the tender echoes of a lullaby
There is something inside that we’re toiling with
Even in the sun
I can’t promise you I won’t run
But I’ll always find my way back to you
Like I always Do x5
Bridge:
I was just thinking the other day
That maybe we should walk away
In a gold paper box you would remain
Safe and guarded
With no risk to tame
Ribbons unravel I’m my only pain

Heart Over Mind

Baby put his hands on top of his heart told me it stopped beating
He said we just want to be so blasé ‘bout it
He don’t know that chasing love is fleeting
These cynical hearts keep crashing for no reason
I’m lingering for some hope, your timing’s treason
Verse 2
If you were a little less guarded maybe we could have a chance at an open ending
Instead you take two steps forward and one step back
So you can dodge real feelings
You will never be free until you open up and let the light in
There’s beauty in the risk on our pendulum
Let it swing
Chorus:
For my sweet love
I’m here to tell you that this feeling in my heart I won’t forget
And if you walk away I know you will remain a crinkle or a crack that’s in my brain
So tell me tell me tell me why a heart refrains
Ho hey ho hey ho hey oooo
Ho hey ho hey ho hey oooo
Chorus:
Like a magic trick in slow motion
Do we want the spell to disappear?
Maybe were not even supposed to know
Coz loving someone means letting go
If you find your heart over mind
When you choose to be undefined
All the reason in the world runs dry
But how do I even know my guy?
But how do I even know my guy?
But how do I even know my guy?
How do I even know my guy?

Wind Chimes

Verse 1
Tell me what do you do in the evening light?
When all that you yearn for won’t ignite
'Cause it still burns inside of me
Like a gust of wind relentlessly
And my heart is not forgiving
It will keep on believing
Chorus
Wind Chimes out of time
I can’t get rid of a heavy mind
In broken echoes of your voice
Distance passes through with no choice
And it feels like I’m getting hollow answers from the street light tonight
When none of the stars up above seem to show any sigh of might

Hourglass

Verse 1:
Oh the hourglass is wearing thin tonight
I can’t even see the sand forming a fight
Don’t you know
Can’t you see
Oh it’s getting easier to be set to sea
Chorus:
Please let me fall down
Letting it all out
Oh we’re changing with the tides
Here on the shoreline with no compass
Oh please save me from myself
Verse 2:
Oh the stars are coming out to be adored
And when it rains they are ignored
And all we know
And what we want
Is shattering
But don’t you let go
Chorus:
Please let me fall down
Letting it all out
Oh we’re changing with the tides
Here on the shoreline with no compass
Oh please save me from myself

Burn Brightly

Verse 1
If you knew that I counted seconds between lighting and thunder
Would you have chased this storm?
And if I told you, from the day I saw you
Your eyes were like a butterfly bite
Its beauty never captured right
Chorus:
Burn brightly in the darkness around the sun
Crinkles of love seep down until they know they’ve won
I know we get a little scared sometimes
When all we want is sometimes hard to find
All I know is that I think of you
When it’s raining and I’m brooding through
Verse 2:
There’s a place that’s too soft spoken
Feeding off my emotion
Wait for me, I’ll take you there
And I’ll cloak your shoulders in my hair
Chorus
I know we get a little scared sometimes
When all we want is sometimes hard to find
And I know we get a little scared sometimes
When all we want is sometimes hard to find
All I know is that I think of you
When it’s raining and I’m brooding through
So burn brightly
So burn brightly
So burn brightly
So burn brightly
When you’re going into the night\
