Stay

It’s sort of like a book you can’t put down
It’s kind of like sharing a secret place you’ve found
Colors brighten when it comes around
Comes around, ooh, ooh
The hardest part is when it disappears
The greatest love can spark the greatest fear
Hoping to God that soon the fog will clear
Please reappear
How do you make, how do you make love stay?
How do you breathe when your breath’s been taken away?
How do you watch something like that start to fade?
How do you chase without scaring it all away?
I try to grasp I try to understand
But it’s kinda like catching a shadow with your hand
Love is wild it’s no one’s to demand
Please understand, yeah, yeah
How do you make, how do you make love stay?
How do you breathe when your breath’s been taken away?
How do you watch something like that start to fade?
How do you chase without scaring it all away?
Oh such an imperfectly perfect love
Crazy how the thing I crave is the thing I’m most scared of
Imperfectly perfect love
How do you make, how do you make love stay?
How do you breathe when your breath’s been taken away?
How do you watch something like that start to fade?
Oh how do you chase without scaring it all away?
How do you make, how do you make love stay?
How do you breathe when your breath’s been taken away?
How do you watch something like that start to fade?
How do you chase without scaring it all away?

Shallow

Their shadows creep around you
At every turn
Their purpose pulls against you
As you have learned
There will always be those eyes
That wait for you to fall
Know that it comes as no surprise
That they aren’t worth it at all
No, shallow isn’t worth it at all
And no one ever tells you
How much it hurts
Life won’t always prepare you
For when things get worse
You have always been the type to
Take what you’ve endured
And turn it into something bright
You create your own allure
Yeah you create your own allure
If you show them something they can’t do
They’ll try to put a hole through you
Can’t stand the light that’s in your eyes
But you are passionate and strong
So you don’t have to play along
No point in bleeding from their lies
‘Cause you are loved, you are you, loved for you
Just take a look around you
People change
But the ones who truly love you
Won’t ever fade
So hold ‘em tightly as they are and
They’ll do the same for you
This shouldn’t come as a surprise
‘Cause this is what the good ones do
Yeah this is what the good ones do
If you show them something they can’t do
They’ll try to put a hole through you
Can’t stand the light that’s in your eyes
But you are passionate and strong
And you don’t have to play along
No point in bleeding from their lies
‘Cause you are loved, you are you, loved for you
Shallow isn’t worth it at all

Silhouette

I was wondering where you’d go
Into the light the air or the snow
The only thing that I know is it’s too soon to leave
So please, come back to me
Wherever you go, come back to me
But a friendly glow
Welcomed you home
Happily you followed
Ran towards it faster than most
If there had been a chance
That you could’ve stayed
I’d have chased it ‘till the sun rose
Such an art to letting someone go
Gotta trust and know that you’re forever home
Stuck here wondering where you’ll be
A part of the sky or the air that we breathe
But wherever you are, I can’t help but believe
That you are here with me
Wherever you are, you’re still here with me
But a friendly glow
Welcomed you home
Happily you followed
Ran towards it faster than most
If there had been a chance
That you could’ve stayed
I’d have chased it ‘till the sun rose
Such an art to letting someone go
Gotta trust and know that you’re forever home
Skyward silhouettes, heaven delights in you (No ear has heard, no eye has seen)
Skyward silhouettes, we’re all just passing through (No ear has heard, no mind has conceived)
But a friendly glow
Welcomed you home
Happily you followed
Ran towards it faster than most
If there had been a chance
That you could’ve stayed
I’d have chased it ‘till the sun rose
Such an art to letting someone go
Gotta trust and know that you’re forever home

Catacomb
03:20

Staring out my window
It’s pouring rain outside
The whole world looks alive
An isolated lullaby
I’m the one shut in
I let nothing in
How I miss the rain upon my skin
As we’d cry sky we’d cry sky cry
Oh but I can’t complain it was all my mistake
I ran away to a world less habituated to love
Yet this hole, it will never be home
My personal catacomb
And I’m locked in from the inside
Yeah I’m locked in from the inside
Why do I hide from sunshine?
It’s never done me wrong
Been in the shade too long
It reaches for me anyways
Asks me to unlearn
The fear of getting burned
How I miss the rays upon my skin
We would rise high we’d rise high rise
Oh but I can’t complain it was all my mistake
I ran away to a world less habituated to love
Yet this hole, it will never be home
My personal catacomb
And I’m locked in from the inside
Yeah I’m locked in from the inside
A feeling deep inside my core
Says I can’t stay here anymore
Oh but I can’t complain it was all my mistake
I ran away to a world less habituated to love
Yet this hole, it will never be home
My personal catacomb
And I’m locked in from the inside
Yeah I’m locked in from the inside
Yeah I’m locked in from the inside
I gotta unlock from the inside

Be Alright

Footsteps of promising colour
Vow not to let them turn grey
Like a paintbrush treading water
Leaving colourful swirling bouquets
Who am I to doubt the others
When they promise that I’ll be okay?
Guess I’m just afraid of thriving in an undesirable way
Hey, hey, hey, I’ll be okay
Gazing into a sea surging
With choices left to be made
So easy to bet each dime on
A gamble with guaranteed pay
Well I looked into my reflection and she
Said pretty please take a chance on me
Guess it’s time I start believing
In the curious mess within me
Hey, hey, hey, I’ll be okay, ooh
Hey, hey, hey, I’ll be okay
Tricky to embrace the unknown
But I try to enjoy the ride
The journey slowly becomes my home
So much safer it is not to hide
Who am I to judge the milestones
For where they want to reside?
Each one meets me with belonging
As they build me from the inside
I, I, I, I’ll be alright, ooh
I, I, I, I’ll be alright
Trust your path
You’re not delicate glass, glass, glass
Savour it make it last, last, last
Fearless of future and past, past
Fearless of future and past
