Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) Here I am again Singing the same old tune Holding everything as close as I can to you If love is anywhere Mine still belongs with you But I’m holding it in my hand She lays her head Upon your shoulder But all I see is the way that you hold her You live in your house With a beautiful view And I live in an your apple tree I am a songbird Singing out your window Telling stories in the shade And I can’t fly away I can’t fly away Imagine me Flying around the world Or Italy on a terraced hill No matter where life’s taking me I may still be up in your apple tree I am a songbird Singing out your window Telling stories in the shade And I can’t fly away I can’t fly away No I can’t fly away I can’t fly away I’ll follow wherever you go ‘Cause I can’t fly away 2. I Want To Belong To You Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Kim Richey (Red Equals Luck/Crossfire 3/BMI) Have I ever seen such kindness Such resigned delight all in one glance Right when you pass me I watch, you see You smile, I breathe Air in my chest I’m trying my best The sun left me so quickly I am stuck under the moon I want to belong to you I pray no one will find you I’ll stay right where I am ‘Til you come back Don’t let me lose you Before there’s a chance to begin Suddenly light on my feet With a sweet rearrange of the day Everything’s changed now One quick exchange It’s not the same Kind of goodbye Gone with a sigh The sun left me so quickly I am stuck under the moon I want to belong to you I pray no one will find you I’ll stay right where I am ‘Til you come back Don’t let me lose you Before there’s a chance to begin I wanna belong to you I pray no one will find you I’ll stay right where I am ‘Til you come back Don’t let me lose you Before there’s a chance to begin 3. Hologram Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) I’m gonna let you down Gonna toss you around Gonna make you want everything you haven’t found I’m gonna hold your hand Then ask you to stand Ten feet away Oh it’s just like you said I live in my head I’m saving up all that I have ‘til I’m dead It’s always the same And never the same way But oh if you don’t want me though I’ll only want you more I fall in love with hard to get You know you’re just like me A mystery with nothing more to see A virtual reality I’m in a love affair without a love song I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want I’m just a hologram You can see but don’t touch me baby Oh I bet you want me I am taking up space I’m right out of place I’m holding a half-hearted smile to your face It’s pretty enough but watch out it fades away Time is ticking so fast Does anything last Soon I will be just apart of your past I’ll leave you with this You hold on in blissful memories Oh if you don’t want me though I’ll only want you more I fall in love with hard to get You know you’re just like me A mystery with nothing more to see A virtual reality I’m in a love affair without a love song I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want I’m just a hologram You can see but don’t touch me baby Oh I bet you want me now Now that you can see I’m not, not what you make of me I’m in a love affair without a love song I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want I’m just a hologram You can see but don’t touch me baby Oh I bet you want me now 4. How the West Was Won Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) I don’t know how the west was won How the ocean let all the sailors come They came over one by one if only just to see I don’t know how happiness gets hidden in the wilderness I’m leaving in the morning with my paddle and my lime I don’t know how to find you when All I’ve been is a lighted window Waiting for the dark to make it’s way back into light And you will hold me in your arms And you will hold me in your arms Maybe I’m just a pilgrim who is trying to make sense of you now Pray the wind will take me where the space meets up with time Where you will hold me in your arms 5. Wish You Well Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) I, I want to wish you well I didn’t watch you go Cause I suppose I don’t know how I, I will remember you Not the way you left but how you lived And what you knew I, I want to feel your hands I want to feel your fire burning Right from where I stand I’ll find my way Cause you showed me how I, I want toknow it’s you When I hear your voice inside my head Inside my room I, want to touch the sky I want to see the stars twinkle Like they were your eyes I’ll find my way You showed me I’ll find my way Cause you showed me how I, I want to smell your scent I want to breathe the air I did before Before you left I, I want to wish you well The only reason my heart beats Is cause you showed it how I’ll find my way You show me I’ll find my way You show me I’ll find my way Cause you showed me how You show me how You showed me how 6. Sumatra Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) Everyone needs someone to touch them Everyone needs someone to hold So why’s it so damn hard to love when we’re alone I’ve lived a lifetime telling stories About the way we live and die When love was born it was a mystery I’m yet to find And when I wake up in the morning There is a twinkle in my eye That maybe someday you will meet me In the light I’ll let you whisper I’ll let you hold me Do what you came to You are the only I will not cry out I will not fight you I’ll let you have me All that you want to I’ll give you sunsets I’ll give you kisses I’ll give you songs that That no one else hears It’s not enough love Until you know me Until you touch me Until you hold me 7. I Will Follow Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Kim Richey (Red Equals Luck/Crossfire 3/BMI) You were in a dream I had Doing dishes at the laundry mat And then you smiled at me You said lets hide and seek I’m gonna count to three Where did you go One step forward two steps back So funny I forgot to laugh You lead me down the garden path And I will follow I will follow I saw you on a downtown street Eating peaches in an apple tree You said take my hand We’ll be a marching band They’ll love us in Japan Where did you go? One step forward two steps back So funny I forgot to laugh You lead me down the garden path And I will follow I will follow 8. I Hurt Too Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) When you’re weary And haunted And your life is not what you wanted When you’re trying so hard to find it When the lies speak the loudest When your friends are starting to leave When you’re broken by people like me I hurt too, I hurt too When an ocean sits right between us There is no sign that we’ll ever cross You should know now that I feel the loss I hurt too, I hurt too Even though you are drowning in valley’s of echoes I believe there is peace in those hills up ahead You will climb ‘til you find places you’ll never let go And I will also be here praying just like I said I hurt too, I hurt too 9. Gypsy Girl Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) Audrey baby Where’s your tambourine Gypsy girl around the world your sailing Cardboard waves Moving left and right Catch the breeze that moves you to the sunlight Do your best Get here soon Listen for the clouds that I have sent you And you will hear them You will hear them cry You will hear them You will hear them cry I’ve been sleeping Harder than a stone Trying not to wake up ‘til you get home 10. Shovel Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) Hearts bend ‘cause they can’t break When they can’t take All that is given to them Glass eyes on your sad face It’s a sad story somebody’s written on you Love in my heart, right from the start So please take me with you Birds sing out the window Sing out the window sing Do you hear those birds sing out the window Sing out the window sing Take me with your shovel We’ll burry all your troubles All your troubles Oh the light is always on you Always in the light The light is always on you Always on you Always in the light 11. Forevermore Written by Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Tim Lauer (Sister Bee Music/ASCAP) You could be my white night And I could be your fairy tale And you could come and save me But that is not the end I will wear will wear a white dress You will paint a sunset Life will be a love fest That’s how it all begins Say say, oh playmate Come out and play with me And bring your dollies three Climb up my apple tree Slide down my rainbow Into my cellar door And we’ll be jolly friends Forever more But the world can spin so madly And love can hurt so badly And stories end so sadly But this is not the end You still have my heartache I still have your sweater Things they will get better Oh, but not today Say say oh playmate I cannot play with you My dolly’s got the flue Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo Aint got no rainbow Aint got no cellar door But we’ll be jolly friends Forever more Say say, oh playmate Come out and play with me And bring your dollies three Climb up my apple tree Slide down my rainbow Into my cellar door And we’ll be jolly friends Forever more Weightless (2006) 1. Jack and Jill Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Kim Richey (Red Equals Luck/BMI) 8/12/05 She wore that dress like it was a Saturday Pretty as a summer rose picked in the morning He held her had like she was a mystery One he couldn’t quite believe Was walking with him They were High up on a hill With something to say And daylight to kill Time slips away The way that it will Round and around dancing round the question posed Flip a coin and watch it go down into the wishing well Two-step sunset there goes another day Another chance to give away secrets they keep to themselves They were High up on a hill With something to say And daylight to kill Time slips away The way that it will Darkness falls without a sound They come tumbling Tumbling after 2. Sweeter Than This Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Lisa Carver (Sony/ATV Cross Keys Publishing/Big Alpha Writer’s Group/ASCAP) 8/15/2005 Life is in boxes in back of our car Driving around with our dreams in a jar And it’s all right here I’ll feed you ramen and you’ll braid my hair Anything goes when you don’t even care When you’re this far in love If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know I don’t want to know I want a garden and you want a coke Living is simple when lovers are broke You can fix anything with a kiss If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know You read your book baby I’ll float away Taking a nap on your lap in the shade I could hold your hand all day If it gets any sweeter than this I don’t want to know… 3. Until You Try Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) 7/28/2005 You said it the perfect way On your own and out loud You said it the perfect way You were strong and resound They didn’t want to hear it But it’s time You’re living in your high hopes And I know that you’re scared Cause there is a hell below Anytime you go there And even the perfect rhyme is a hell of a find You won’t know until you try You won’t know until you try You will be looking back On the days that were happy It’ll be hard to see Why you’d chosen to leave But never forget the feeling When it’s right And you won’t know until you try You won’t know until you try You won’t know until you try You won’t know until you try 4. Crazy Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) 10/2005 What have they done to the birds and the bees The cradle was robbed the nest make believe And they’re selling their souls for the purpose of losing it all What have they done to the cracks in the walls The world has been painted to cover it all Now everyone’s afraid to admit that they’re getting old Oh my lord I’m told What have they done to the revolution They call it a war and claimed it was useless The voice of the ages will never be heard quite the same What have they done to the innocent mind Spoiled it and twisted the truth into lies Now all of the peace lovers are having to draw up their swords Oh my Lord I’m torn If I’m going crazy then crazy is just that I’m born What have they done to Jesus’ life They’re making it cruel, say it’s a lie But they still ask for his peace ‘cause they feel it inside And what have they done with the two thousand years Made history in to a faithful fear But the cracks don’t expire just ‘cause the surface is dry Oh my Lord I’m tired If I’m going crazy, then crazy is just my desire If I’m going crazy, crazy is just what I’ve seen If I’m going crazy then crazy is just in between 5. Fools Gold Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP), Jeremy Lister Music (Jeremy Lister Music/Warner Chappell) and Kate York (Blue Water/BMI) 8/17/05 From the time you said hello and what’s your name You were work of art playing me like a little game Now you can break my heart and I will love you just the same I can see through your eyes Your fingers crossed by your side But I need your little shiny lies You promised the world and opened up your door And the words you fed left me wanting more Now I’m left here locked out looking for a key to score I can see through your eyes Your fingers crossed by your side But I need your little shiny lies Fools gold shining… You can break my heart and I will want you just the same I can see through your eyes Your fingers crossed by your side But I need your little shiny lies You can break my heart and I will love you just the same I can see through your eyes Your fingers crossed by your side But I need your little shiny lies 6. The Offer Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Ruby Amanfu (Famous Music Corp./Roobytunes Publishing/ASCAP) 8/15/0 I have a proposal a deal we could make Read it over slowly and see what’s at stake A resume puffed up or full of accolades It’s what I have none of I’m not good at soap boxing matters of heart I don’t have a life that’s a great work of art Though I am not trained I think I know enough I can offer love So choose And make sure you know what you’re getting into This won’t be one of those love and leave experiments That might not work for you Do you know what happens when hearts are afraid They don’t see when true love is right in their face But you don’t have to worry you don’t have to wait To take my offer up So choose And make sure you know what you’re getting into This won’t be one of those love and leave experiments That might not work for you 7. Charlie Chaplin Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP and Music Guru Publishing/ASCAP) We are entertainers living in a scene where nobody slows down Busy making little pieces into things that dare to make a sound Fall like an angel, try like a fool and dare to walk away Each of us has got a little Charlie Chaplin inside us Saying, hey fellas why don’t we go where the movies are silent and life is as big as a stage Waiting on clock or waiting on a view and hoping it’s new We all got to find something to do Well I say we take on the strange and insane Come on and pick up our hats and our canes And say, hey fellas why don’t we go where the movies are silent and life is as big as a stage, life is as big as a stage, life is as big as a stage, life is as big as a stage Waddle your way to the sunset today Waddle your way to the sunset today Waddle your way to the sunset today Anything for a laugh Anything for a laugh Hey fellas why don’t we go where the movies are silent and life is as big as a stage 8. Butterfly Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP and Music Guru Publishing/ASCAP) I am a butterfly I sweep so silent I land upon the light so I can see the color of my wings I’ll always fly away to find another Old light to make me stay But on my wings, the color always stays No matter where I fly no matter who I land on Can I expect to change when I was born this way What do I expect to lose when I land on you You’re much too bright for me I cannot take it I’ll stay indefinitely Until I feel my wings begin to burn You don’t belong with me but I am taking This piece of revelry Until feel ever wide awake No matter where I fly no matter who I land on Can I expect to change when I was born this way What do I expect to lose when I land on you I will never change for you I will never change for you But I’m not the same without you I am a butterfly I sweep to silent I land upon the light So I can see the color of my wings 9. Not Even Close Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP and Music Guru Publishing/ASCAP) 2005 I have a dream of living a life that’s easier said than done Stare in the mirror, I’m unfascinated with everything I have done I’m faking my way, living it down Oh my god I’m lazy and I’m frenzied Licking my wounds and moving ahead But I can’t take this wine and bread I’m not even close to where I want to be (x 2) All of the people, as small as we are, we’re crying out with our hands Feeding the poor and feasting on sunsets Take it away my friend All of the hands are having their way, licking their palms for a taste of grace I’m saving myself for all of the moments that I’ll never have I’m not even close to where I want to be (x 4) All of the people, as small as we are, we’re crying out with our hands I’m unfascinated, as small as I am, nothing else here is grand So take me away and move me ahead so I can take a taste of wine and bread I’m living it down, it’s all that I have This is about the things I’ll ever see I’m not even close to where I want to be (x 4) And I’m unfascinated by everything else and me 10. Weightless Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP and Music Guru Publishing/ASCAP) 3/2006 Green, the color of the trees that grow while I am barely breathing Entangled in hate and love I can’t tell if I am numb or feeling ‘Cause I am broken hearted and you are beautiful I am undecided and you are weightless Sun, behind the blinds but I can’t open what I can’t find Lies that taste so sweet I’m not craving anything I need I am broken hearted and you are beautiful I am undecided and you are weightless 11. Jenny Lynn Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP and Music Guru Publishing/ASCAP) 2005 All at once your city crumbles like Babylon Even the gardens you’ve been hanging on Disappear before your eyes Take your time, let the words sink in Before you say your mind Heaven knows we all get lost sometimes And you will find your way back Wounded, you let your guard down and feel stupid You wish you never would have trusted Your heart in someone else’s hands But it’s all okay I think you may have made the best mistake I think we’re made to give ourselves away ‘Cause there’s no other way to live Jenny Lynn, I wish I had your thin skin I wish that I could let the love right in Maybe I’d rather feel the pain ‘Cause freedom is A naked heart that always dares to give A willingness to let the tenderness Be taken as it may 12. Diamond Ring Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP and Music Guru Publishing/ASCAP) 5/2005 Spot light on a golden night from a birds eye it’s the perfect place to be queen Or so they believe An old song with a long story but make way for his new glory to be You couldn’t wait for the scene But Papa don’t buy me a diamond ring ‘Cause I ain’t got time for what you’re thinking I’m a one man band with a late night show You gotta let me go Bone dry in the naked light I got my closed eyes so I can’t see what you mean When you give them to me Bomb drop from the flower shop and the nice guy steals the air from my wings You should have thrown them at me But Papa don’t buy me a diamond ring ‘Cause I ain’t got time for what you’re thinking I’m a one man band with a late night show You gotta let me go Spot light on a golden night from a birds eye it’s the perfect place to be queen And they will believe But Papa don’t buy me a diamond ring ‘Cause I ain’t got time for what you’re thinking I’m a one-man band with a late night show You gotta let me go 13. Child I Can See Ya Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) 8/2005 Don’t hide child I can see ya You’re too scared to come home Just leave all of your worries out there Where they belong What dream keeps you running From New York to LA You must be so hungry For some place you can stay Oh I can see ya You’re almost there Oh I can see ya You’re almost there I hope you know I love you Even when are gone I hope someday you’ll see that All these roads lead to one Oh I can see ya You’re almost there Oh I can see ya You’re almost there You’re almost there I live in the valleys I live under your bed I dwell in the silence That you keep from your head Oh I can see ya You’re almost there Oh I can see ya You’re almost there 14. Middle Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) 6/2005 Split yourself down the middle Take one half away Make one seem the best so the least can have its way Split yourself down the middle Make one side the past You’re left with the future and maybe it will last Sell all of your burdens Keep all of your prayers And then say goodbye to the life that got you here It isn’t as easy as I thought it’d be Choosing the side that is everything I need Split yourself down the middle Take one half away Make one seem the best so the least can have its way Split yourself down the middle Make one side the past And now it’s the future and baby it’ll last Watch Them Fall (2004) 1. Say Goodbye lyrics available soon! 2. Chase Me lyrics available soon! 3. Over and Over lyrics available soon! 4. Wonderful World
