Cold hearts on a Winter day Lament the face of spring Resisting change, what’ere it be And what the sun may bring Unless you rest a bit, my dear You’ll never find your way A mark, a scar, is what you are But never on display Sometimes I wish I’d never known Be it jade, it shatters Be it gold, it breaks Sweet and sighing, warm as rain A pleasant, gentle bird Throughout the night in unseen flight A humble cry is heard Demure, reserved, but never weak A catalyst of care And everyday discovering Just what was hidden there Sometimes I wish I’d never known Be it jade, it shatters
 Be it gold, it breaks Sometimes I wish I’d never known Sometimes I wish I didn’t know You knew I didn’t need to know I don’t wanna know Be it jade, it shatters Be it gold, it breaks

Come Home 04:25
I know it must be unattractive to see me so discomposed But darling I must admit that It hurts to be so alone And I’ve learned so much without you But I didn’t ask to know And I know I’m becoming a bigger person But it’s kind of painful to grow Can’t you come home for a little while? I know adventure is in your soul But while you’re out there living up life All I’m left with is this hole My dear you left me defenseless Against the memories I have stored But they remind me of a purpose And what it is I’m moving toward And in the quiet moments When I wish that you could call Nostalgia keeps me company Keeps me back against the wall Can’t you come home for a little while? I know adventure is in your soul But while you’re out there living up life All I’m left with is this hole They say the best things in life come to those who wait But I am not the type to sit and wait for fate There is a certain fatal beauty in a heart that loves A kind of rare, perfect credence in approval from above Can’t you come home for a little while? I know adventure is in your soul But while you’re out there living up life All I’m left with is a hole

Step Lightly 02:35
You offered up your voice As if it even mattered As if there ever was a choice As if the whole weren’t shattered You helped me again to see And you were on both sides of me Dear, step lightly You only get one shot Please choose wisely This is the only chance you’ve got Ask him when it is we’ll leave And he’ll just shrug his shoulders Ask him what it is he thinks He’ll tell you when you’re older One day you’ll decide you’re through But for now the guts aren’t inside of you Dear, step lightly You only get one shot Please choose wisely This is the only chance you’ve got
