All Those Things You Say
02:06

Well you brighten up my day
With all those things you say
Sometimes I think I don't treat you the same
But it's hard when I know
That I'm fighting back these feelings
I want to show you
Something more that I can do
To prove my love to you
So far it seems I don't have a clue
But I'm trying to be more like you
Cuz I envy how you're always true
To fall in love with you was not so hard to do
My mind was set that first time I saw you
And I knew then we were meant to be
And I knew then we'd be so happy
With some patience, now I have patience
So it makes sense to use it on you
Cuz you brighten up my day
With all those things you say
And I want to make you feel the same way

Sour Lemons
03:22
|
|||
|
I'm smelling flowers remembering
Those last two hours, so sobering
Oh did you notice, we didn't say a thing
A loss of focus, it shouldn't mean a thing
If you knew just how much I want to stay true to you
Your touch is honey, so sweet to me
But ain't love funny how it can be
Like sour lemons inside my tea
But soak those lemons and they're just sweet
Wish you knew just how much I want to stay true to you
This time I'm ready for love
Four years of running is enough
I'm soaking these bitter sweet memories

Time Can Wait
03:28

|
Well here we go again
Driving down to your place
Got about a quarter tank in my car
But hey don't worry about it
It should get me far enough
And when you open that door
I remember what I came here for
My head gets lost in your smile
Is it ok if I lay next to you for a while?
It's not the first time that I've had you
But it's last time I let you go
Oh don't know, you're gonna be mine for a while
You're my rainy day escape
You're my reason for staying up late
And if I'm away from you
Send you a text or two
Man I'm feeling better already!
It's not the first time that I've had you
But it's the last time I let you go
Oh don't you know, you're gonna be mine for a while
And today is the best day
All I want to do is stay in your arms
Warm me with your charms
And though it's getting late
Today, babe, time can wait

Sound Boy

Sound boy I've got no songs to write
Think I'll be staying in tonight
While I think about the moments
Wonder what the moments are like
And I think about the moments
Wonder what your moments are like
And you go find the action
There's your satisfaction
I'll be downing peace in this empty room
To wise my mind up
Maybe feel love
I've been hiding from all this too soon
While I think about the moments
Wonder what the moments are like
And how was your time there
Was it the kind where memories are made?
Or did you get lonely?
Did you miss home?
Me, I'd rather stay right here
But I'll think about the moments
Wonder what the moments are like
How was your day?
How was your party?
Bet it beat homework Friday night
And while you were mingling
I was in here singing
About how I didn't go that other time
You're probably thinking
"You've got to step outside, you've got to live you life"
Well, I took a ride this morning while you were snoring
But still you say
"You've got to step outside, you've got to live your life"
I saw the sun this morning while you were snoring
And I was singing, la la la la la la la la
Well you said that they said, last night I was missing it
Well you tell them I said, I know I'm not missing shit
Cuz I was singing, la la la la la la la la

Smartest Cookie
03:37
|

|
Ship's going under
Love fly me over the rainbow where I'd rather be
The higher now, the more I'll see
And I'm drawing pictures
I'm writing scriptures for future dreams I will be having
Got to make sure I'm always grabbing those
Higher planes of my mind
Those higher planes of my mind
And if I am the right girl
I hope I make your lips curl
whenever we hang out together
Couldn't imagine it any better
And what am I hooked on?
The phonics that I've worked on are helping
I'm feeling so much better
So we'll make it in our minds
You know we always have such a good time
My tiger may be brown
And I may not live in the hippest town
But I know I'm on the brink of something
Cuz Grandma wouldn't lie
And Grandpa, he's a real smart guy
And they told me, "Rachel you're the smartest cookie"
And I ain't no rookie
I know when a cookie is good
And boy you're tasting really fine
But if I start to drown will you be the one that
Cuz boy I'm sinking in an ocean of your love
Ship's going under
Love fly me over the rainbow where I'd rather be
The higher now, the more I'll see
And I'm drawing pictures
I'm writing scriptures for future dreams I will be having
Got to make sure I'm always grabbing those
Higher planes of my mind
You know I try to read books all the time

See Sea Shells
03:25
|
|||
|
Oh go through the motions dear
You'll see there's nothing clear
Plan your next move while I plan mine too
Is it fair to just walk away
If I run would you beg me to stay
I don't think so
Breath just in and out
You said yourself we'd work it out
With these days fast depleting
I think these words bear some repeating
If it's love that I've thrown away
If it's true it's reborn each day
See, sea shells carry the ocean within themselves
I'm just like you, echoing love from that deep blue
When I close my eyes
Nothing but the moment survives
And I'm happy knowing I'm free
And I'm happy trusting in me
And I'm thankful knowing you're there
And I'm thankful knowing you care
The other shore, is here.

My Canopy
03:14
|

|
This tree is shading my canopy aura vibe
So long as I remain to hide I'll be fine
But how long will we deny to see all this beauty around
And natures remedy gave me songs to sing
And my body calms
And these waves I'm breaking
There's no mistaking I'm part of everything
I am this grassy knoll
Makes me feel so at home
And I'm this running stream tumbling in from of me
And in these fall born leaves
They're falling just for me
And I'm finally finally peace
I'm finally finding this plane I'm on
Seems time is gone
But I'm feeling you boy, I know you're blue
And it's so sad to see
Daily love is breaking cuz this world's so mean
And though I keep on singing
I can tell that no one's listening, really listening
So take me away
Blue skies got more to say then this world of careless people
And If I should return to share what I have learned
Will I still find these careless people?

I Love you
02:46

There ain't a cloud in the sky
I'm laughing and I don't know why
The world seems so much brighter today
Hello, how are you
I'm fine thank you
yeah I'm just peachy keen today
Cuz yesterday we had the guts to say
I love you and
I love you too
I threw my laundry in the trash
I put the milk in the dirty clothes basket
I think I set the spoon in there too
Well I'm such a silly case
That dazed smile across my face
The only chore I can do is want you
I love you
I love you too
It's blissful, this thing
It feels like falling
It's a shared expression
Transmutate my reflection

San Francisco
03:02
|
|||
|
So unsettling, are you doing this to me
Your sad days are turning my mind's eye gray
And I'm seeing in filters
Everything's being filtered and
I'm wondering what's really real
So you say you want to just pick up and leave
Well that's fine by me
And what I wouldn't give to just pick up and leave
But all in good time
So where will we go
How do you feel about San Fransisco
Yeah I know there's a whole world to see
But can we start on the west coast
Boy you say you want to just pick up and leave
Well that's fine by me
And what I wouldn't give to just pick up and leave
But all in good time
Baby you know the living's good there
And maybe you'll find your smile where the
Sun is brighter and the weather's warmer
And the breeze is softer and the people
Well they might be nicer but
Boy you say you want to just pick up and leave
Well that's fine by me
And what I wouldn't give to just pick up and leave
But all in good time

Just One of Those Days
03:17
|
|||
|
What I see on the tv scares me
One movement becomes mass hysteria
Or a copy of, every copy of
But don't think that I escape the system
I'm just as bad as all the rest of them
I'm history, made of history
So what makes me, me
And is there even such a thing as individuality
Cuz I think I found within me
A quiet place, to retreat
There was a time I was searching for constants
Now I know that constants are nonsense
In a world that changes everyday
And I have changed in every way
So what makes me, me
And is there even such a thing as individuality
Cuz I think I found within me
A quiet place, to retreat
So what makes you, me
Cuz aren't we all the same thing
That human nature really is such a contagious reality

Going to College
03:10
|
|||
|
I can see the light trying to break through my window
I might let it in but I had the shades closed
If only the temperature outside agreed with the sun
Maybe then I'd go out there and have a little fun
But I'll be fine in the summer
And I'll just wait right here until the temperature gets warmer
Then I'll be going to college
I'll be away from home
I'll be off at college
Mom I think I'm ready to go
And maybe while I'm there I'll have a run in with fate
I'll find my one true love and we'll go out on a date
And walking in the moon light he will lean in to kiss me
The breeze picks up he pulls me close just like in the movies
