Frequencies
I've never been quite as tough as them
I've been picking up frequencies
Just as long as my little heart could beat me down
Before I run off and drown in the stuff that never happened
The crazy thing about love
Is that it's always good enough
And if you let it grow, then you know for sure
That it could hurt you more
But you've been hurt before
By all of the stuff that never happened
Follow your heart
Til it's easy til it's open
Long enough to feel a little bit broken
Til heaven has spoken
You got ahold of me before I got to be
The kind of person that I dreamed I'd be
The kind of person that would never ever hide away
When there's so much to say about the things that matter
Follow your heart
Til it's easy til it's open
Long enough to feel a little bit broken
Til heaven has spoken
I've been picking up frequencies
Just as long as my little heart could beat me down
Before I run off and drown in the stuff that never happened
The crazy thing about love
Is that it's always good enough
And if you let it grow, then you know for sure
That it could hurt you more
But you've been hurt before
By all of the stuff that never happened
Follow your heart
Til it's easy til it's open
Long enough to feel a little bit broken
Til heaven has spoken
You got ahold of me before I got to be
The kind of person that I dreamed I'd be
The kind of person that would never ever hide away
When there's so much to say about the things that matter
Follow your heart
Til it's easy til it's open
Long enough to feel a little bit broken
Til heaven has spoken
Drug
Oh, you left me with a little of your love, your love
Oh, I'm gonna need some more, I need some more love, some more love
Oh, you left me in the middle of your love
Oh, and now I need some more you're like a drug, a drug
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to meet you
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to meet you
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to
Oh, I'm taking it to everywhere I go, I go
Oh, And now you need to know you need to know, to know
Oh, You kill me when you say you have to go, to go
Oh, Addicted to you baby even though my lord, oh my lord
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to meet you
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to meet you
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to
Oh, I'm gonna need some more, I need some more love, some more love
Oh, you left me in the middle of your love
Oh, and now I need some more you're like a drug, a drug
Heaven must have sent you because I never meant to meet you

Walk Through Walls
How do you know the world is round
When you're blissfully enchanted on the ground
How do you see a world outside
When you're surrounded by a picture in your mind
When I saw your eyes they stole my heart
And they told me I was living in the dark
And now I'm caught in a great divide
And I'm aching to be on the other side
But before you walk through walls
You will leave all this behind
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to say goodbye
If you let your guard down long enough to try
How do you know a flame is real
Out of all the fires this is one I feel
They happen so fast
The moments pass
And we're all waiting for the moments that will last
When I saw your eyes they stole my heart
Before you walk through walls
You will leave all this behind
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to say goodbye
If you let your guard down long enough to try
Before you walk through walls
You will leave all this behind
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to say goodbye
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to let it die
In the moment where the darkness needs the light
When you're blissfully enchanted on the ground
How do you see a world outside
When you're surrounded by a picture in your mind
When I saw your eyes they stole my heart
And they told me I was living in the dark
And now I'm caught in a great divide
And I'm aching to be on the other side
But before you walk through walls
You will leave all this behind
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to say goodbye
If you let your guard down long enough to try
How do you know a flame is real
Out of all the fires this is one I feel
They happen so fast
The moments pass
And we're all waiting for the moments that will last
When I saw your eyes they stole my heart
Before you walk through walls
You will leave all this behind
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to say goodbye
If you let your guard down long enough to try
Before you walk through walls
You will leave all this behind
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to say goodbye
Before you walk through walls
You will look it in the eye
Before you walk through walls
You will learn to let it die
In the moment where the darkness needs the light
Summer
I remember the time you first held your hand in mine
We left our worries behind us
We got lost alright
And there's no way to describe how a moment changes
Maybe the world would define us
But our hands were tied
Don't let go of me
Don't give up on me
We had our feet in the sand
With an ocean waiting
And I was tied to the land of summer fading
Will you lay down with me here
While the waters rise
Or will you follow my fear to the other side
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
We left our worries behind us
We got lost alright
And there's no way to describe how a moment changes
Maybe the world would define us
But our hands were tied
Don't let go of me
Don't give up on me
We had our feet in the sand
With an ocean waiting
And I was tied to the land of summer fading
Will you lay down with me here
While the waters rise
Or will you follow my fear to the other side
Don't give up on me
Don't give up on me
Say It Out Loud
Say it out loud
We're moving the world around
Careful you don't look down
You might be the last one out
We're here to stay
We won't give our lives away
We know there's a better way
The people will have their say
And they'll say it out loud
You think it's fun
Holding a loaded gun
Pointing it at the sun
Not fooling anyone
I'll say it now
We're starting a revolution
Against our own confusion
There will be no illusion
When we say it out loud
Say it out loud
Say it out loud
Say it out loud...
We're moving the world around
Careful you don't look down
You might be the last one out
We're here to stay
We won't give our lives away
We know there's a better way
The people will have their say
And they'll say it out loud
You think it's fun
Holding a loaded gun
Pointing it at the sun
Not fooling anyone
I'll say it now
We're starting a revolution
Against our own confusion
There will be no illusion
When we say it out loud
Say it out loud
Say it out loud
Say it out loud...
Your Side
We felt love so we made it
We felt hope so we braved it
We felt fear so we tamed it
We held on and we waited
From the fire to the fear to the fall
Heaven knows I'm on your side
From the first to the last through it all
Everywhere our worlds collide
Oh, Oh
We can't hide from each other
We can hide from no one
Oh, Oh
Give our hearts to each other
Lift them up like we're young
When we lived in the moment
We forgot all our shame
When we woke in the morning
We knew then we are the same
From the fire to the fear to the fall
Heaven knows I'm on your side
From the first to the last through it all
Everywhere our worlds collide
Oh, Oh
We can't hide from each other
We can hide from no one
Oh, Oh
Give our hearts to each other
Lift them up like we're young
We felt hope so we braved it
We felt fear so we tamed it
We held on and we waited
From the fire to the fear to the fall
Heaven knows I'm on your side
From the first to the last through it all
Everywhere our worlds collide
Oh, Oh
We can't hide from each other
We can hide from no one
Oh, Oh
Give our hearts to each other
Lift them up like we're young
When we lived in the moment
We forgot all our shame
When we woke in the morning
We knew then we are the same
From the fire to the fear to the fall
Heaven knows I'm on your side
From the first to the last through it all
Everywhere our worlds collide
Oh, Oh
We can't hide from each other
We can hide from no one
Oh, Oh
Give our hearts to each other
Lift them up like we're young
Lines
I don't want to hurt you
I just want to be your friend
Even though we draw our lines with very different ends
Do you believe me
Have I even earned your trust
To ask you for it now, would it ever be enough
With all the words to say
Surely we can find
A place to leave our past behind
Oh our worlds collide
When they can't survive
On their own precious lies
Oh we make mistakes
Find what it takes
And make an honest try
Searching for an answer
Searching for a common ground
Searching for a place to stand
That doesn't tear you down
Can you even see me
Would you look me in the eye
Or will it just remind you
We're living in a great divide
Are you looking for a truth
Are you looking for a sign
Or are you looking for your own kind?
Oh our worlds collide
When they can't survive
On their own precious lies
Oh we make mistakes
Find what it takes
And make an honest try
I just want to be your friend
Even though we draw our lines with very different ends
Do you believe me
Have I even earned your trust
To ask you for it now, would it ever be enough
With all the words to say
Surely we can find
A place to leave our past behind
Oh our worlds collide
When they can't survive
On their own precious lies
Oh we make mistakes
Find what it takes
And make an honest try
Searching for an answer
Searching for a common ground
Searching for a place to stand
That doesn't tear you down
Can you even see me
Would you look me in the eye
Or will it just remind you
We're living in a great divide
Are you looking for a truth
Are you looking for a sign
Or are you looking for your own kind?
Oh our worlds collide
When they can't survive
On their own precious lies
Oh we make mistakes
Find what it takes
And make an honest try
Thick as Thieves
Do you feel heaven
When the ache is strong
When the nets are left alone
Wonder what we'll find
As the cast is drifting
My love hold me to your side
My love just like the first time
Hold on, hold me through the mourning
Hold on, harder than I'm falling
Do you feel heaven
In late July
We'll never learn to say goodbye
The sand will dry
Now the sun is lifting
My love hold me to your side
My love just like the first time
Hold on, hold me through the mourning
Hold on, harder than I'm falling
All, all that I long for
All that I look for
All, all that I long for
All that I look for
My love
My love hold me to your side
My love just like the first time
Hold on, hold me through the mourning
Hold on, harder than I'm falling
When the ache is strong
When the nets are left alone
Wonder what we'll find
As the cast is drifting
My love hold me to your side
My love just like the first time
Hold on, hold me through the mourning
Hold on, harder than I'm falling
Do you feel heaven
In late July
We'll never learn to say goodbye
The sand will dry
Now the sun is lifting
My love hold me to your side
My love just like the first time
Hold on, hold me through the mourning
Hold on, harder than I'm falling
All, all that I long for
All that I look for
All, all that I long for
All that I look for
My love
My love hold me to your side
My love just like the first time
Hold on, hold me through the mourning
Hold on, harder than I'm falling
Human Too
Look me in the eye
We've been here before
The start of the future
The end of a war
We lost where we came from
We found who we were
We fell out of space
And landed on earth
Ooh, tell me that you understand
Tell me that you're human too
That all the magic
And all the tragic
Lives inside you too
If we looked up
If we looked in
If we let go
Of the shape that we're in
Start with a stranger
Ask them their name
Forgive them their fortunes
Forgive them their pain
Ooh, tell me that you understand
Tell me that you're human too
That all the magic
And all the tragic
Lives inside you too
We all breathe the same air that we breathe
We all seek the same love that we need
Ooh, tell me that you understand
Tell me that you're human too
That all the magic
And all the tragic
Lives inside you too
We've been here before
The start of the future
The end of a war
We lost where we came from
We found who we were
We fell out of space
And landed on earth
Ooh, tell me that you understand
Tell me that you're human too
That all the magic
And all the tragic
Lives inside you too
If we looked up
If we looked in
If we let go
Of the shape that we're in
Start with a stranger
Ask them their name
Forgive them their fortunes
Forgive them their pain
Ooh, tell me that you understand
Tell me that you're human too
That all the magic
And all the tragic
Lives inside you too
We all breathe the same air that we breathe
We all seek the same love that we need
Ooh, tell me that you understand
Tell me that you're human too
That all the magic
And all the tragic
Lives inside you too
Water Fear
All the weight you left behind you
Hiding in the space in my chest
You're wide awake when I am sleeping
On the other side on the other side
Oh I pray that I will keep you
Got to keep you in my grasp
Because you broke me made me saved me
Never look back never look back never look back
Oh the way you shake my senses
Shaken from the first to the last
In the moments heaven sent us
Why can't all of them last
I am open fallen broken since the moment you passed
I am searching aching taking
Never look back never look back never look back
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
You have broken my heart open
Left me on the edge of the land
It's the furthest I have traveled from the palm of your hand
An unspoken deep devotion heaven and earth understand
Oh the moment I give in and never look back
Never look back never look back
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
Hiding in the space in my chest
You're wide awake when I am sleeping
On the other side on the other side
Oh I pray that I will keep you
Got to keep you in my grasp
Because you broke me made me saved me
Never look back never look back never look back
Oh the way you shake my senses
Shaken from the first to the last
In the moments heaven sent us
Why can't all of them last
I am open fallen broken since the moment you passed
I am searching aching taking
Never look back never look back never look back
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
You have broken my heart open
Left me on the edge of the land
It's the furthest I have traveled from the palm of your hand
An unspoken deep devotion heaven and earth understand
Oh the moment I give in and never look back
Never look back never look back
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
I'm all the way to the water
I'm all the way to the fear
Forgiveness
You were given long enough to move along
You said we're living to forgive what may have come
As you were leaving
As I was grieving
I have loved you all my life
I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness
For our last goodbye
I still need you no matter how much time has passed
I still feel you oh how I long to feel your grasp
Because I love you
Because you love me all my life
I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness
For our last goodbye
You said we're living to forgive what may have come
As you were leaving
As I was grieving
I have loved you all my life
I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness
For our last goodbye
I still need you no matter how much time has passed
I still feel you oh how I long to feel your grasp
Because I love you
Because you love me all my life
I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness I ask forgiveness
For our last goodbye
Proud
We should ask ourselves out loud
Are we really proud
Are we living with our hearts in the open
We should ask ourselves out loud
Are we really proud
Of the lines that we have chosen
Of the words we haven't spoken
To repair what we have broken
We should ask ourselves out loud
Are we really proud
Are we building walls or bridges
Are we sharing our own riches
You couldn't look away...
Are we really proud
Are we living with our hearts in the open
We should ask ourselves out loud
Are we really proud

To repair what we have broken

Are we really proud
Are we building walls or bridges
Are we sharing our own riches

The Waking Sleep
Released September 22, 2011
Free My Mind
My mind is like a heavy hand
Always making more of what really happened
A critical imagination always working overtime
Maybe this is what the world will see
A tiny little version of the tallest tree
An optical illusion of the human mind
Posing as a real life
I never had my mind made up before the bomb dropped
And if I ever do decide to take a chance oh
The part that keeps me holding on
It'll be my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes
Free my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes.
We like to watch the world go by
Paint a pretty picture with the perfect light
Build a happy home to live inside
Working 'til the sunrise
But I haven't such a dream to keep
To spend another day counting sheep
Seven in a row will make a week
Enough to disappoint you
I never had my mind made up before the bomb dropped
And if I ever do decide to take a chance oh
The part that keeps me holding on
It'll be my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes
Free my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes.
Never had my mind made up
No I never had my mind made up
Oh no I never had my mind made up
Never had my mind made up...
It'll be my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes
Free my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes
Be my mind
Awaken my mind
Awaken my mind
Open my eyes

Make A Noise
Katie Herzig and Cason Cooley
Look up you see the sky on fire
Look out the water's getting higher now
Believe that you can change the world
Your dreams have been living in a code of silence
So let them out
Find your voice
Find your voice
Make a noise
You try to find the words you want to say
You might be looking much too far away
To recognize we're all disguised
Find your voice
Find your voice
Make a noise
Oh we all were born before the war
But worlds collide
Look at all the people fighting for the same side
Oh we all were born before the war
But worlds collide
You can't have the peace you're looking for without a fight
Oh we all were born before the war
But worlds collide
If you see the world you want more, then make it right
(you see the sky on fire, the water's getting higher)
Don't run away run away
don't run away
Don't run away run away
don't run away
Look out the water's getting higher now
Believe that you can change the world
Your dreams have been living in a code of silence
So let them out
Find your voice

Way to the Future
Katie Herzig and Cason Cooley
She could be easy to find you see
She writes the songs only for you to sing
She digs the words out of the sky
She leaves them there for you to find
The way that you love dear
The fate of the world you leave behind
A way to the future
Making a moment built to last
You want to love well now's your chance
You hear the beat over the radio
You see the scene
A satellite picture show
You take her words out of the sky
She left them there
For you to find
The way that you love dear
The fate of the world you leave behind
A way to the future
Making a moment built to last
You want to love well now's your chance...

Wasting Time
I didn't know when I met you I'd upset you
I didn't know I was taking both your eyes
Even the best intentions take us by surprise
How do you keep a secret, don't repeat it
How do you push away without a shove
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
Maybe a boat on the ocean will bring good fortune
Maybe a gust of wind will keep us out at sea
I'll be hoping for the wind that sets you free
Fate is just matter choosing sides
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
I didn't know when I met you I'd upset you
I didn't know I was taking both your eyes
How do you live with a secret, don't repeat it
I didn't know I was taking both your eyes
Even the best intentions take us by surprise
I didn't know I was taking both your eyes
Even the best intentions take us by surprise
How do you keep a secret, don't repeat it
How do you push away without a shove
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
Maybe a boat on the ocean will bring good fortune
Maybe a gust of wind will keep us out at sea
I'll be hoping for the wind that sets you free
Fate is just matter choosing sides
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
It's easier wasting time than breaking hearts you love
I didn't know when I met you I'd upset you
I didn't know I was taking both your eyes
How do you live with a secret, don't repeat it
I didn't know I was taking both your eyes
Even the best intentions take us by surprise
Midnight Serenade
Words from a thousand miles away
At a lonely time of day
Leave it up to night to quietly remind us
Time though it mostly slips away
Doesn't seem to mind the wait
It's a midnight serenade
Do you feel the same as I do
Close your eyes
Think of what you have beside you
Even I understand the reasons why you stay
Oh I am stuck in someone else's shoes
An unfamiliar view
But I promise not to do the things they do
I would never make you choose
I have so much less to lose
There's a world between these words and how we use them
Close your eyes
Think of what you have beside you
Even I understand the reasons why you stay
Oh oh oh oh...
I hide behind the waterfall
I wait for you to drink
I sing so you might hear these words
But sadly so might she
She knows you disappear sometimes
But knows that you will stay
And so I end this story with
One last serenade
Close your eyes
Think of what you have beside you
Even I understand the reasons why you'll stay
At a lonely time of day
Leave it up to night to quietly remind us
Time though it mostly slips away
Doesn't seem to mind the wait
It's a midnight serenade
Do you feel the same as I do
Close your eyes
Think of what you have beside you
Even I understand the reasons why you stay
Oh I am stuck in someone else's shoes
An unfamiliar view
But I promise not to do the things they do
I would never make you choose
I have so much less to lose
There's a world between these words and how we use them
Close your eyes
Think of what you have beside you
Even I understand the reasons why you stay
Oh oh oh oh...
I hide behind the waterfall
I wait for you to drink
I sing so you might hear these words
But sadly so might she
She knows you disappear sometimes
But knows that you will stay
And so I end this story with
One last serenade
Close your eyes
Think of what you have beside you
Even I understand the reasons why you'll stay
Oh My Darlin'
Katie Herzig and Trent Dabbs
We used to paint puddles in the sky
Jump around on trampolines and never go inside
We'd wake up in the morning and decide
What we would do for the rest of our lives
But the rest of our lives came quickly
Oh my darlin'
Oh my dear
Times is hard without you here
Oh my darlin'
Oh my babe
How long will it take
To be carried away
To go back to the younger days
I wonder if you're wondering outside
Still chasing with your fingers all the colors in the sky
I'm looking out my window for a clue
Leaving a sign and hoping it finds you
I'll find you
Oh my darlin'
Oh my dear
Times is hard without you here
Oh my darlin'
Oh my babe
How long will it take
To be carried away
To go back to the younger days...
Closest I Get
Katie Herzig and Cason Cooley
What if I wait and you don't show
If I left you half just to keep me whole
What if I held my breath so long
Would you notice the silence had lasted so long
What if the closest I get to the moment is now
I have seen love come and go
Oh I watched it pass with my heart held close
There's no easy way to know
If I'm looking back or I'm getting close
What if the closest I get to the moment is now
Love it has no guarantees
Which muse will lay its hands on me
We said the words we knocked on wood
And I'm still here waiting to see what could be
What if the closest I get to the moment is now
If I left you half just to keep me whole
What if I held my breath so long
Would you notice the silence had lasted so long
What if the closest I get to the moment is now
I have seen love come and go
Oh I watched it pass with my heart held close
There's no easy way to know
If I'm looking back or I'm getting close
What if the closest I get to the moment is now
Love it has no guarantees
Which muse will lay its hands on me
We said the words we knocked on wood
And I'm still here waiting to see what could be
What if the closest I get to the moment is now
The Waking Sleep
For my soul to reach you
Must I always bleed
For my heart to feel you
Must it always beat
Even the waking sleep
I know time's a wasting
It is chasing me
While the ice is melting
Into the sea
Even the waking sleep
I know there's a purpose
I know there's an end
I know you are worth it
Will I rise again
There's a bridge that's burning
And the water's near
I see you hurting
And I watch in fear
Will I watch you burning
You I love so dear
Even the waking sleep
Even the waking sleep
Lost and Found
Katie Herzig and Cason Cooley
I know you left me standing there
Out in the calm of the coldest air
I don't believe the words you said
But I can't find the words I want
Oh I can't find the words I want
If you were gone in another life
I don't believe I would just survive
I could feel you next to me
An escape from the world I'm in
Oh I'm afraid of the world I'm in
One day I will see heaven's reach
I'll find the one who left me sleeping
Every war was another seed
That could feed every soul in need
Oh I'm warn by the war in me
Somebody found me here
Somebody held my breath
Somebody saved me from the world you left
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Somebody found me here
Somebody held my breath
Somebody saved me from the world you left
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Out in the calm of the coldest air
I don't believe the words you said
But I can't find the words I want
Oh I can't find the words I want
If you were gone in another life
I don't believe I would just survive
I could feel you next to me
An escape from the world I'm in
Oh I'm afraid of the world I'm in
One day I will see heaven's reach
I'll find the one who left me sleeping
Every war was another seed
That could feed every soul in need
Oh I'm warn by the war in me
Somebody found me here
Somebody held my breath
Somebody saved me from the world you left
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Somebody found me here
Somebody held my breath
Somebody saved me from the world you left
If you're gonna cry my tears
If you're gonna hold my breath
If you're gonna let me see the sun you set
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Oh I am lost and found
Daisies and Pews
Soon we'll be sitting at the bottom
Making sense of all we've forgotten
My faith lies somewhere between daisies and pews
Making sense of all the good news
I might climb the highest peak
Disappear in another dream
Sit alone on a stone by the sea
Knowing and waiting
We are in love
Fire in my soul
Fire in my soul
When nights are cold
And when you do appear
You are my hope and my fear
Not by the land or the sea
But from the place that I breathe
Knowing and waiting
We are in Love
Making sense of all we've forgotten
My faith lies somewhere between daisies and pews
Making sense of all the good news
I might climb the highest peak
Disappear in another dream
Sit alone on a stone by the sea
Knowing and waiting
We are in love
Fire in my soul
Fire in my soul
When nights are cold
And when you do appear
You are my hope and my fear
Not by the land or the sea
But from the place that I breathe
Knowing and waiting
We are in Love

Songbird
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
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
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
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 pray no one will find you

With a sweet rearrange of the day

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
Gonna toss you around
Gonna make you want everything you haven't found
I'm gonna hold your hand
Then ask you to stand

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
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
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

Cause you showed me how
You show me how
You showed me how
I didn't watch you go

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
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

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
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

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
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
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
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
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
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

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
Forevermore

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

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
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

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...
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...
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
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
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
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
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
You were work of art playing me like a little game

I can see through your eyes
Your fingers crossed by your side

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
The Offer
Katie Herzig (Katie Herzig Music/ASCAP) and Ruby Amanfu (Famous Music Corp./Roobytunes Publishing/ASCAP) 8/15/05
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

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

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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
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
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

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
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
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
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
