Our Minds 02:37
You know i wouldn`t say it for nothing So when you hear me, baby believe me You`re the softest light in my darkest night And these arms they`re yours for the taking. So let`s not complicate things with our minds The hardest part is knowing what to carry and what to leave behind, No, let`s not complicate things with our minds, We'll set aside some time to walk alone and meet midline Seems fine, it`s fine, it`s fine, it`s fine, it's fine. We've both been working real hard, at building this life together A love that`s made of things simple and true, Well, that makes me think of forever. So let`s not complicate things with our minds The hardest part is knowing what to carry and what to leave behind, No, let`s not complicate things with our minds, We'll set aside some time to walk alone and meet midline Seems fine, it`s fine, it`s fine, it`s fine, it's fine.

I`m a Fool 02:47
I'm never one to ask permission before I tell you how I feel I usually resist what you offer me until I can believe that it's real Courage to say when I'm lying Certainty of knowing where to go Wisdom that blooms from the faintest whispers And the freedom of letting things go Well they say, these things they will grow But I'm a fool for making it hard I'm a fool for wrecking the start I'm a fool for making it hard And I’ll be sitting out back, not getting over it I'm sitting out back, not getting over it I worry that the space you're asking for is the one that’ll keep me out And what if I've gone too far this time and that you can live without? Part of me wants to let you love me, the other part suspects an attack If I had you and half of your strength baby well I can live with that I think I can live with that But I'm a fool for making it hard I'm a fool for wrecking the start I'm a fool for making it hard And I’ll be sitting out back, not getting over it I'm sitting out back, not getting over it

Small town blues gonna wreck my soul Small town blues gonna wreck my soul ‘Cause I told you I'd meet you at the door Ya I promised I'd meet you at the door And now i don't want to go Don't want to see anyone I know Don't want to see anyone I know Cause you talk and you talk and I listen, And you don't see it in my eyes that I don't Want to know It's not like what you say is unimportant It's just that I might like to feel important, too, sometimes, once in a while Tell me tell me is there a time limit? Tell me tell me is there a time limit? ‘Cause if there is then I guess I gotta go and I won't know where that is until I go And we all mess up the same when it's time for a change Sometimes those that should know me best, sometimes those that should know me best, Well they feel like it's too complicated, that my feelings are exaggerated They miss the point, I get upset, and they don't want me to change It's not like what you say is unimportant It's just that I might like to feel important, too, sometimes, once in a while You see me every day, ya you see me every day, And I wonder if you'll ever see me in any different way You see me every day, ya you see me every day, And I wonder if you'll ever see me in any different way (So you see me every day) I shine my light a little bit brighter, one light a little bit brighter. Small town blues gonna wreck my soul.

I went out tonight riding my bike I was hoping I'd find you to be looking there for me too But that wasn't the case, now my heart feels misplaced I'm thinking it's still with you, what's a lonely girl to do? I used to see love as a competition There was always a new game to settle scores and I would win But now that you're gone, I know I was wrong, It's too late you've forgiven me and you want me to move on As free as I felt what I needed the most was to fly To fly, so high, in my way, in my time, in my style Nothing heavy, keep it light, may we both win tonight, tonight. Nothing heavy, keep it light, may we both win tonight, tonight

I took off my ring, yes the one that you gave me I had to feel what it'd be like to lose that part of me Everything is temporary, nothing stays the same Honey if you know that then why do you resist the change? I wanted to punish you for having been so mean It was just a wicked trick to wake us from the dream Yes it was just a wicked trick to wake us from the dream I thank the waker for disrupting me, When I sleep too long you slip away from me I thank the waker for disrupting me When I sleep too long you slip away from me You pawned in your banjo and your fretless bass Was the 24th of December, you got down on your knee You wanted to marry me and have me be your bride Nothing left but to say yes and keep our love alive But you can't build a home until you land on solid ground With a little fire and hope and luck we're gonna turn this ship around Ya, with a little fire and hope and luck we're gonna turn this ship around I thank the waker for disrupting me When I sleep too long you slip away from me I thank the waker for disrupting me When I sleep too long you slip away from me

Nous ne vieillirons pas ensemble Et voilà où l’histoire se termine Il n’y a plus rien à dire Comment d’autre pourrais-je dire? Nous ne vieillirons pas ensemble Je ne suivrai plus tes pas Sauter deux trois escaliers en montant Dans notre appartement tu m’prends plus dans tes bras Non je n’suivrai plus tes pas Je sais dans mon coeur que je dois retrouver le bonheur Mais j’ai peur de l’trouver sans toi Je sais dans mon coeur que j’vais retrouver l’bonheur Mais je n’ai pas envie de l’trouver sans toi Je n’entenderai plus ta voix, Crier chanter d’loin loin loin la-bas J’prends pu d’bain, j’ai pu faim, J’aime pu rien, t’es pu fin Non, je n’entenderai plus ta voix Je sais dans mon coeur que je dois retrouver le bonheur Mais j’ai peur de l’trouver sans toi Je sais dans mon coeur que j’vais retrouver l’bonheur Mais je n’ai pas envie de l’trouver sans toi

Sorry I made you wonder so my love And what I was thinking of that could take me so far away? The living is so easy and the loving is so warm I'm sure I’ll find a dozen ways to make you take that door ‘Cause I think I've got the devil up in my head The words he speaks so cruel, I think he wants me dead I'm pretty sure I've got the devil up in my head By devil I mean that darkest seed, that thought I could never forget Well how often do you weed your garden? Do you make room for new buds? Are you getting the water and the light that it takes to grow tall? How often do you weed your garden? Do you make room for new buds? Are you getting the water and the light that it takes to grow tall? ‘Cause I think I've got the devil up in my head The words he speaks so cruel, I think he wants me dead I'm pretty sure I've got the devil up in my head By devil I mean that darkest seed, that thought I could never forget Well how often do you weed your garden? Do you make room for new buds? It's not like the first time we've ever been in love How often do you weed your garden? Do you make room for new love? This time tell me what you need, I’ll tell you what I need to grow strong This time show me what you need, I’ll show you what I need to grow strong How ‘bout tell me what you need, I’ll tell you what I need to grow strong This time tell me what you need, I’ll tell you what I need to grow strong

Letting Go 02:38
I want to write I want to write the saddest song But I never get it right and you only like the happy ones And I know it could always be worse But look at how fast you moved on Trying to pretend like all your pain is gone I want to be I want to be your only one But that couldn't be and when things get real you run, run, run And I know it could always be worse But everyone else has moved on And I'm the only one here singing this sad song Letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go, Letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go, Letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go, Letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go, Letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go,

Mon amoureux il chante très peu Il miaule, il jappe, il beugle et il craque Il tâte les miettes qui restent des assiettes Des gens qu’il n’aime pas puis qu’il ne connaît pas plus que ça En dedans de moi vit un océan qui pousse, qui tire, finit par aplatir En dedans de moi vit un océan qui cherche, qui trouve, pareil comme Maman Louve Comment aimer quand il faut aimer? Comment aimer quand on a peur d’aimer? Comment aimer quand on n’ose pas trop trop aimer? Comment aimer? Pâles, petites, solitaires et sauvages Le sentier de pensées embellit mon voisinage Pâle, petite, solitaire et sauvage Le sentier de mes pensées n’embellit pas mon entourage Comment aimer quand il faut aimer? Comment aimer quand on a peur d’aimer? Comment aimer quand on n’ose pas trop trop aimer? Comment aimer? En dedans de moi, vit un océan, qui pousse, qui tire, finit par aplatir, En dedans de moi, vit un océan, qui cherche, qui trouve, pareil comme Maman Louve.

I want to reset I want to go slow I want to forgive myself And I need you to know that I know I had to be right I had to know why Couldn't let things just be for a while Wouldn't let down my guard for the night Oh my darling no more trying I have let us down down down It's as though you came to show me how to grow and then you had to go I want to go back And we can just be I’ll give the softest part of me I learned that from loving you I want to press pause Gonna let it sink in True love doesn't have to stay I learned that from hurting you Oh my darling no more crying time has let us down down down Now I see how love can't be I understand just why you had to go
