I like the way you move
Further and further
It keeps my heart yearning
I like the way you do
It little by little
It keeps my heart burning
I like the way you groove like the sea
You don’t touch not too much
But your eyes are on me
It takes a bigger man
To know the value
In all these games
To look at me and say
I know how to play
I like the way you move
Your body’s a breeze and
It keeps me off balance
I like the way you prove
That gettin’ it easy
Only feels good for fools
It takes a bigger man to know the value in all these games
To know that it takes me losing to want to play
So keep on pulling those strings I’ll stay aflame
‘Cause baby it’s just a game just a game just a game
Yeah I know it’s just a game just a game just a game
I said I know it’s just a game just a game just a game
So why do I feel so strange?

Broken - Live

Is it worth it to feel love?
When you know the pain will come?
Is it worth it to feel pain?
When you know the music comes from the same place?
I’m still broken
Yes I’m still broken
But I don’t need you or you or you or you to fix me
I’m still broken
I’m still broken
But I don’t need you or you or any of you to fix me
The moon feels like a cruel spotlight
On my life as it crumbles around me
You’d think I’d see things more clearly
But it’s too bright to make out shapes
And I still wander blindly
I’m still broken
Yes I’m still broken
I don’t need you or you or you or you to fix me
I’m still broken
I'm still broken
But I don’t need you or you or any of you to fix me
I’m tired of all the wrong and right
I’m tired of all these futile fights
Is there a place that i can find
Away from all this?
I’m tired of wrong and tired of right
I’m tired of dark and tired of light
Is there a place that I can find
Where I don't have to win?
'Cause I’m still broken
Yes I’m still broken
I don’t need you or you to fix me
I’m still broken but I'm not hopeless
These cracks mean light shines through
With my light I'll create something new

Take Me - Live

Tell me what you know about love
And I will tell you all the things that I don't know
I am just a beacon from above
Shining bright before I run you into a wall
But maybe you can teach me
How to love and to love freely
I am hopeful I am waiting
Come and take me take me take me
Tell me where your road is gonna go
And I will tell you all the circles I've been around
I know that I've gotta let it go
Let love in before I turn myself into stone
So maybe you can teach me
How to love and to love freely
I am hopeful I am waiting
Come and take me take me take me
It's hard to drop a part of you you know
A dose of darkness is what makes me enticing
But cynicism's funny 'til it's not
The dark is healthy 'til you use it to not see
So maybe you can teach me
How to love and to love freely
I am hopeful I am waiting
Come and take me take me take me
Maybe you can teach me
How to love and to love freely
I am hopeful I am waiting
Come and take me take me take me

I am lost without you
I am lost without you
I've been looking for the answers but I think I'd rather find them in you
I've been looking for the answers but I think I'd rather find them in you
I am small without you
I am small without you
I've been working on my courage but I think I'd rather grow beside you
I've been working on my courage but I think I'd rather grow beside you
I am gone without you
I am gone without you
I’ve forgotten what it feels like to know what I’m supposed to do
I’ve forgotten what it feels like to know what I’m supposed to do
I’ve been following your footsteps
Been trying not to fall back
I think I need a new map to use

I don't own you
You are free to do whatever you please
But will you stay with me?
I can't force you
To be the kind of love I want you to be
But will you stay with me?
Every time I find my mind wandering down a dangerous place
I want your heart I want your time but I also hate this space
'Cause I don't trust you
Or know you
I want to
I might paint you
Into someone that is fooling me
So I can pity me
Make it easier
To pull away and keep my dignity
Cause I'm falling and
Every time I find my mind wandering down a dangerous place
I want your heart I want your time but I also hate this space
I don't trust you
Or know you
But I want to
I can't say that
I will give you answers that you need
There's no guarantees but
I will say that
It could be fun to see where it leads
If you stay with me
'Cause sometimes when I find my mind wandering down a dangerous place
I want your heart I want your time I don't care about the stakes
I may not trust you
Or know you
But I want to
I may not trust you
Or know you
Can I learn to?
I may not trust you
Or know you
I want to

Slow - Live

Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Like my body's
The first you ever touched
Can we take it slow
Like we did in our basements
Clothes on lights out
Breathing on the rug
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Let the wings flutter
Let the heart pump
Once upon a time
Romance was alive
We didn't have rules
So we carved new grooves
No expectations
All exploration
What you give is welcome
What you don't, forgot
Now love is flustered
All rushed and cluttered
Grabbing what's familiar
We are all too eager
I just met you
Don't want to kiss you
Let's make our own rules
Treat me like I'm new
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Like my body's
The first you ever touched
Can we take it slow
Like we did in our basements
Clothes on lights out
Breathing on the rug
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Let the wings flutter
Let the heart pump
Now it's like we're all afraid
What's under getting laid
I'll take my layers off
But my skin is tough
Feeling like a puppet
Eat it grab it suck it
Let's try something new
Let me look at you
Take our layers in
Eyes and breath and skin
One finger at a time
There is no finish line
We can be more than bodies
More than getting lucky
More than always rushing
Just look at me
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Like my body's
The first you ever touched
Can we take it slow
Like we did in our basements
Clothes on lights out
Breathing on the rug
Can we take it slow
Like we did back in high school
Let the wings flutter
Let the heart pump

Zoo - Live
01:50

Every passing day I feel a little
Worse about zoos
I was good for a while, filled my schedule with classes
Got dressed did my makeup even curled my eyelashes
But a slump is so close it might be here already
I watched 10 episodes of Community last night
And my screenwriting class is a great group of people
But I don’t think I’m a writer, I’m more of a sleeper
In my dreams I can float I don’t feel any pressure
I am light as the weather
Is it morning already?
Where is the sun?
I lost my marbles somewhere in the bathroom
I can feel all my atoms are shaking with what can’t be done
It’s hard to feel lucky without feeling guilty
A soundtrack of sirens haunts and connects me
The future feels heavy
And I miss my mom
I’ve got no room to pace
So my mind is what’s running
But it’s more of a stumble
With no distance, I’m covering
I know Now Is The Time To Create
But I’m hungry again
Is it morning already?
Where is the sun?
I lost my marbles somewhere in the bathroom
I can feel all my atoms are shaking with what can’t be done
I know that something has ended
And something’s begun
I just wish someone could give me more answers
Or tell me “just close your eyes and then open when I get to one”

Chamomile - Live

It tastes like you
And our apartment too
The yellow walls
Our dying basil
It sounds like you
Boiling water to brew
Lunch is ready
Set it for two
I'm not saying that I want it
Because I don't want it back
But I can't tell myself it's over
'Cause I'm still not over it
It's a weird and painful in-between
To be in love with what has been
But at a place where you and I don't fit quite in
But the songs and the dreams and the chamomile tea
Will always bring me back to bright walls and cities
Where you and me were 'we'
It feels odd
Not to ask how you are
All these unspoken rules to obey
I am told to keep my distance
So as not to confuse this
As our history falls wordlessly away
And I'm not saying that I want it
Because I don't want it back
But nostalgia is a wrecking ball
And I'm a wall of glass
It's a weird and painful in-between
To be in love with what has been
But at a place where you and I don't fit quite in
But the songs and the dreams and the chamomile tea
Will always bring me back to bright walls and cities
Where you and me were 'we'
