What Now? (Live)
03:25
|

Driving north up the coast
Speeding all the way
Passenger seat full of notes
With nothing new to say
Chasing the song
I’m always chasing the sound
What now?
Traveling with my ghosts
Questioning choices I’ve made
Can taste it I’m so close
But something always gets in my way
Should be hitting the pavement
But I keep slamming into the ground
What now?
There’s only forward
I’m not giving myself an out
Make a break in the clouds
But I’m prone to wander
Riddled with fears and doubts
So, what now?
What now?

Moondust (Live)
03:16
|

I’m in a rocketship
Blasting off homebase
Watching you get smaller from space
Floating in the stratosphere
Untethered and unmoored
A pregnant longing for something real
What went wrong with us?
We set out to touch moondust
Now we sleep on opposite ends of the bed
I’m right on the edge
Right on the edge
Peering through your telescope
Grounded and fettered
Flattened and weathered
Wondering whether I’ll come home
What went wrong with us?
We set out to touch moondust
Now you’re stuck with the words you never said
You’re right on the edge
Right on the edge
Take my hand we’ll land on the moon
Plant a seed and grow something new
Let’s go out on a ledge
We’re right on the edge
Right on the edge

Sitting at the bar in some no name town
Drinking whiskey on the rocks
Strike a match, let it char me down
Take another one out of the box
Wish I hadn’t burned every picture of you
Wish I had known sooner what you already knew
Want to take back my words and unshut the door
But I’m not your girl anymore
Always drew on napkins and went on about Sarte
Black glasses made you look smart
Carved me in a tree behind the schoolyard wall
They took a wrecking ball to it last Fall
They took a wrecking ball to it last Fall
Wish I hadn’t torn up every portrait you drew
Wish I had known better than to let you slip through
Want to take back my words and unshut the door
But I’m not your girl anymore
No. I’m not your girl anymore

Shadows (Live)
03:11
|
|||
Why does it hurt when the rain falls down
And mixes with my tears?
Why does it burn when the leaves turn brown
And the sun disappears?
All these years that I have loved you fade away
Into the shadows
Shadows, shadows of us
All of the words that we never said
Are buried in the ground
Six feet of dirt on what could’ve been
And it doesn’t make a sound
All these dreams and what I hoped for fall away
Into the shadows
Shadows, shadows of us

Shame On Us (Live)
03:16
|
|||
I’ve seen it end, seen it start
Seen it break my heart
Seen these troubles, they come from far
They break my heart
But if you would give a little bit
I would stay
Make my mind change
Quiet man, sitting down and making bags
No words, no sounds come out of his mouth
He speaks with his hands
I speak with my tongue
I breathe with my lungs
The heart is a sponge
Dry without love, drowns with too much
Shame on us
Shame on us

Open (Live)
03:35
|

Sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room
He wanted to know a lot about me and you
Asked if we were open
We’re anything but open anymore
What do I say?
That the love I have is dying?
Words get in the way
And I’m quietly justifying
I don’t want to speak it
Don’t even want to think it
Sweat and tequila
Lime and salt in the wound
Kissed a woman doing cocaine in the bathroom
Trying to be open
Needing to feel something
What can I say?
The love I have is dying
I carry this pain everywhere
It’s crucifying
I don’t want to hold it anymore
I can’t hold us anymore

My Own Way Home (Live)
03:42
|
|||
Even though now I know that I am your daughter
Nothing feels farther from the truth
Fully grown and standing on your front porch with flowers
I waited for hours and you watched from the living room
There’s nothing here to hang my hat on
Nothing to build upon or to look forward to
So leave me on this road, I’ll find my own way
Leave me on this road, I’ll find my own way
I was young when I became a mother
You were young too
Demanded proof, the heartbreak that you put me through
I am the place he lays his head on
A place he can build upon and always come back to
I’m holding steady, ready to catch myself
The paint is peeling, this house is caving in on itself
But I am rising
Tired of trying to be somebody else
Tired of trying to be somebody else
So leave me on this road, I’ll find my own way
I’ll find my own way home
