1.	Missing You 02:21	lyrics	buy track
It’s a feeling in my chest That I’ve never felt before Glad for what we’ve got Still wanting more Wishing you would just show up right now At our front door I’m missing you It’s okay that I’m missing you It’s a knowing in my gut That you’re good for me And I’m good for you Without even trying to be And for once I am just fine With let’s just wait and see Still I’m missing you It’s okay that I’m missing you Try not to blame Try not to claim that there’s a reason But just the same Listen to the changing seasons It’s a trust in all of this The pleasure and the pain Storms and fog Sun and rain You’ll take me there And we will know what we became While I was missing you So many days missing you It’s okay that I’m missing you But I’m still missing you
2.	Leaves 02:26	lyrics	buy track
No matter what happens next I know None of us is a dead end dangling From a sprawling treetop canopy None of us is a dead end dangling Fleshy fruit or brittle twig in the breeze We all fall down eventually Care for the soil and the little seeds Immeasurable mulching of our leaves Oooh ooooh No matter how dark it gets I know I can see the violet in the rainbow Piercing through the haze in the winter I can see the violet in the rainbow Set my anchor let my kite soar Intertwining roots on the forest floor Take a little, give a little more No one can tell you what your love is for Just care for the soil and the seeds ...oooooh Brittle twig in the breeze ...oooooh Mulching over our leaves ...oooooh Mulching over our leaves ...oooooh
3.	Surviving 04:36	lyrics	buy track
Now that I’m sturdier, I can try To put it into words and answer why Those countless hours I wasted, day and night To make myself feel empty inside Empty and clean, surviving, unseen He got away with it in the dark How many more still carry his mark And we push it down, we wash it away As if we could lose invisible weight Empty and clean, surviving unseen And I started to wound myself When I was too confused to ask for help Looking for control, to find the crossed line To take back my body as if it wasn’t mine Just a little girl on a trundle bed When he took something from me because he could But finally I know there’s a boundary And I know the difference between bad and good Between can’t and should and wish you would So many moments misunderstood Empty and clean, surviving unseen Empty and clean, I’m surviving, I am seen
4.	Moving On 03:45	lyrics	buy track
Morning light at the lagoon Looking for some clarity Letting go of what I’ll lose When I find a brighter me Something gained, another gone Nothing comes for free Moving on Slowing down and eating well Being who I wanna be No compartments on the job Boundaries or niceties The perfect sun will pass on by Nothing stays the same Moving on Living someone else’s life To take a break from my own Opens up a peace of mind A home away from home Take the dogs out on a hike Watch the birds communicate See the chaparral in bloom In its native natural state Not sure why it took me so long Moving on Moving on Moving on
5.	One More Dinner Alone 02:35	lyrics	buy track
One more dinner alone Waitin for my baby to come back home Oh I made him a plate but his train’s runnin late So tonight I’m eatin one more dinner alone Sun’s hangin low in the sky Watchin the fog as the birds fly by Oh my days have been long without my love’s morning song So tonight the sun’s hangin low in the sky You could say I’ve got a weakness for comfort and You could say I’m just a homebody love junkie But I know this is the feeling that I was lookin for One more evening to myself Takin it easy for my heart and my health When my baby comes back can we let this longing last Oh tonight I’ve got one more evening all to myself
6.	Old Companion 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Six months from now Will I be free From this conflicted part of me After a year Will I have a new way To relax my mind at the end of the day Without my dear old companion Who soothed me all these years I had a feeling That started to grow Til I pushed it down too far below But while I still can I just have to try Before all my chances pass me by Without my dear old companion Who soothed me all these years Before the show, and after too To pass the time, to start a new To make it feel magic, to make it feel true To turn off my mind, to just make it through To just make it through Without my dear old companion Who soothed me all these years Who soothed me all these years Who soothed me all these years
7.	In Another Time 02:11	lyrics	buy track
You’ve been looking at the Pictures on the screen Everything you’ve seen Happening before our eyes And someone far away has Memories to share An apple and a pear From trees they planted in another Time when setting roots Was the bravest thing Anyone could do Now we’re turning into Something we don’t know On and on with the show Play it again, press rewind And distance is a wound that needs A remedy to heal A hearty home cooked meal From seeds we planted in another Time when growing Was the bravest thing When knowing Was the strongest thing When trusting Was the kindest thing Anyone could do
8.	Amateur 04:45	lyrics	buy track
I wanna be an amateur forever Wanna do it all for fun But simple living is expensive And without money I might come undone I wanna make my songs for the love of it And never burn out And still be treated as a professional And stand behind my work without any doubt Oh nobody else can tell you How to make the most of it Ooh nobody else can tell you How your puzzle pieces will begin to fit Amateur (Do it for love) Amateur (Gettin just enough) Amateur (Make the gig pay) Amateur (Don’t forget how to play) I wanna be the old lady at the coffee shop Playin songs about her past With a glimmer in the corner of her eye Cus she figured out how to make the magic last Amateur (Do it for love) Amateur (Gettin just enough) Amateur (Make the gig pay) Amateur (Don’t forget how to play) Oh nobody else can tell you How to make the most of it Ooh nobody else can tell you How your puzzle pieces will begin to fit Amateur (Do it for love) Amateur (Gettin just enough) Amateur (Make the gig pay) Amateur (Don’t forget how to play)
