Nobody I love sleeps alone I am the only one who sleeps alone I'll hold you close And let you grow So we can grow And build a home

My Chickadee 00:54
My chickadee My chickadee My chickadee I'm sorry I can't seem to set you free I'll leave you be And go to sleep And when I wake Will you be there singing next to me?
3.
Humming 02:31
Really wish I could call you today My heart is aching and the sky is turning grey A week has passed since I last kissed your face And I'm wondering if we'll be okay Cause I don't wanna be your friend I wanna be the one you tuck into bed And in the morning bake you bread And hum all your songs stuck in my head Wish you'd believe me when I tell you you're brave That nothing you say could scare me away Wish you'd believe me when I tell you you're great That nothing you say could scare me away

To the Woods 01:51
And if I die will no one care? And if I go tomorrow? For I am just a creature A wild thing at most My mother told me to be scared Of the ones with the careless minds With their lost eyes And their withered hearts From them I shall run To the woods I will run To the woods I will run In my den In my nest In my home To the woods I will hide In the woods I will not die
5.
It's two in the morning and I can't sleep Awoke from a bad dream and I can't see Your body next to my body You are not next to me If I was stronger I could hold back A little braver I wouldn't feel so bad But I'm lonely and I'm tired Won't you hold me and inspire Me to do All those things I've been meaning to do
6.
I fall in love with everyone I meet I am inspired by everything I see So why can't I fall asleep at night And why can't I see the beauty in myself
7.
I know that you can't follow me tonight I'll repeat the words, count each breath to five Or maybe a little longer I said it was fine how alone I feel here I'll soften my brow, I'll tilt my gaze down Away from the others I would rather be tucked away beneath the trees Below an open sky There I can be brave Here I am everywhere but here
8.
Once again I am doing more harm than good I'm trying this time to not mess it all up But it's cold out and I'm tired Shut the shades I'm hiding again I will hope for rain, a thunderstorm at best Because that's when I'll feel better If I face my fears will they disappear? Do things ever change just on their own? Well I'm not going to wait for that No I'm not going to wait for that
9.
Wake Me Up 01:41
Wake me up I must be dreaming In a fog I thought I lost my way The cold shook through all my bones And all I wanted was to find my way back home For a glimpse I thought you were gone But I don't think I could make it Without you by my side You took me by the hand and said Hypothetically speaking if we begin again... Wake me up I must be dreaming

Blue sky dragonfly Falling leaves and lullabies The reason I survive Is to find the truth in this life Beyond the clouds Beyond the sky Every living thing There's a reason why The reason why is in the lullaby Do you understand at all Do you understand this life It was like a tornado Where'd my mind go Swept away, Swept away once more Lost that feeling This is real I could use just a little more Where'd my mind go Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha-ha-ha Beyond the clouds Beyond the sky Every living thing There's a reason why The reason why is in the lullaby Do you understand at all Do you understand this life Blue sky dragonfly Falling leaves and lullabies The reason I survive Is to find the truth in this life It was like a tornado Where'd my mind go Swept away, Swept away once more Lost that feeling This is real I could use just a little more Where'd my mind go Ah-ha-ah-ha-ah-ha-ha-ha
