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

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

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
