I was a daydream Quiet and unseen I lived in stories But inside I kept a mystery I was a starling Nobodys darling Flying in perfect circles Just for company And now Im ready And now Im ready And now Im ready to be Extraordinary A midnight airplane A window glowing I know I am another Sparkle in the sky I shine uncovered Still undiscovered But you might see me in the corner of your eye chorus: Waking up to a week of Sundays Ive got my own parade Stopping off at a sidewalk caf Wind is playing in the trees Kicking up confetti leaves Seems as if its all to say chorus:

All good things All good things All good things Not sure where to go Everybody I know Says Im too forgiving And now that Im gone I dont want to move on I just keep reliving chorus: All good things Oh I wish you All good things come to an end All good things Oh I wish you well Lost inside of my head Empty side of the bed I feel this place without you I keep pushing the bruise Cause I dont wanna lose What I loved about you chorus: I can think of a million ways You proved you werent the one So live inside of your shades of grey And never mind the sunshine That Ill find I got so much space now I got a whole house with the wind blowing through I dont need somewhere to hide Ive got this whole world inside I was accustomed to showing you

Im a long way off But Im still around Sitting on the couch Im watching you And if I take my time All the others give in You still feel like youre standing in line I just know that youre worth the wait Its of no concern Its a risk Id gladly take From time to time chorus: Dont worry about yourself at all Ill hang your work up on my wall Hose you down and dress you up real nice With some brand new plans and a fancy car Try to place your superstar Cause you can tell the story of your life Without slummin in paradise I wonder how you feel Or do I? Standing on the corner Hows your view? From the other side Mr. Right Its not a pretty sight alone chorus: You wont often see this letter Handed over right away I know the first time I found you wonderful

Im not ready to confront Id rather cement my words this way This could be the easy road out But Im just not all that happy So Im writing all this down And Ill file it in a drawer someday In lieu of a conversation Wed probably forget to have anyway chorus: I wont hold anything back And I wont hold anything in Feel like I know where this is going And I might know how it ends But Im still Willing to begin You should know my story by now And why Im optimistic cautiously I understand its not your fault But Im not takin anything back You still end up with Most of me chorus I expect you to fly from NY to LA And land on my doorstep And smile at me and say It was worth it to see most of me Do you love most of me? Youre just crossing paths With the way he left me Im not sayin a word But Im watching you quietly Youre gonna have to prove me wrong Before I know this is right We dont have to decide tonight Just wait for me patiently And youll get all of me chorus

Its a take-out weekend Its a fake-out smile and pretend If nobody sees you cry You can say it was raining outside chorus: And all that you want Is a few days down All that you need A little time to drown Its to be expected With all the weight you carry round All that you want is A Few Days Down Its a short vacation To a foreign nation Oh, nothing familiar here Just you and your lonesome heart complaining chorus: Im looking out Ten stories high And like a blanket lifted The quiet night The city finally waking up The morning light chorus:

(M.Moore/L.McKenna)

She likes chocolate in the morning She drinks her coffee late at night You can sense that she is guarded But thats alright Shell fall asleep while your still talking With unfinished books beside her bed Shell cancel all of her appointments And go shopping instead chorus: And in spite of what is right Far beyond what shed expect When the moon begs the question Will you have the answer yet? Cant you just adore her? Cant you just adore her? She loves to watch the sunset But she is partial to the rain With those tears and that umbrella Her allure goes unexplained You made dinner in your apartment You both assume that shell be late She always has the best intentions Her goodness is innate chorus: And in spite of what is right Far beyond what shed expect When the moon begs the question Will you have the answer yet Cant you just adore her? Cant you just adore her? Why cant you just adore her? I like chocolate in the morning I drink my coffee late at night

Drove to your house in the hills Where I wanted to be The lights were all on And I knew you were waiting for me And that road became familiar Like the mystery shape of your heart And I know you loved me in your way Im looking forward to looking back on these days Im fine But Im not okay Im looking forward to looking back on these days The fog in the morning that clouded the world that we knew It was almost enough being lonely and living for you And the rain came to our window And I wish I couldve stayed And I know you loved me in your way chorus: Let it go Let it go sunshine Now you know Now you know its time Its time You were asleep while I gathered my things in the dark The burns on my fingers were all that was left of the spark Didnt want to wake you Cause I knew I couldnt say That I know you loved me in your way

In the crazy world Anything can happen If you will it to Im just a hazy girl Blurring all the edges Only seeing blue chorus: Its a Wild Hope A Wild Hope A Wild Hope Everything will be alright Lost inside A painting of a city on a hotel wall Days goes by Wasting golden hours in the fall chorus: I catch a glimpse of our reflection Beside you I see myself We are the seasons new collection We look like everybody else Walk alone Through the crowded streets into the fading grey Here and gone Like a decoration for the holiday chorus:

Somebody told me They saw you somewhere Somebody hold me Cause suddenly Im in the cold Well I must be mistaken It was somebody else I know you all too well Or do I? chorus: I heard you say We were one and the same Well, wrong again I could never do those things you did to me I will be okay In time youll fade Into the nothing that you are The nothing you are. Somebody sold me The same old story Hadnt you told me You were there the whole time Well I must be mistaken You were somebody else I hope you burn in hell Or do I? chorus And your mistakes will hunt you down Eventually You know that when you hit the ground Your weakness did you in And dealt me out Its ok, I have the truth on my side

There is part of me that wants an answer And part of me that doesnt want to know Part of you that I am in love with And the part that I am willing to let go This is a delicate unraveling Now and then I find pieces on the floor Tiny little bits that tell me Maybe I shouldnt do this Or love you anymore Someones gonna have to fess up I wonder what youll do with it all I have a map in my head Somehow still dont understand Why I always have to miss you Why I have to make the call Someones gonna have to step up Someones gonna have to clean this mess up chorus: Before you drive me away Take a good look at me, baby Picture me not lying on your couch Well, I wish the best for you Everytime you go thru this Before you finally figure it out chorus:

Baby, why would you? chorus: Goodbye, sweetheart Countdown started Words are heavy But Im far from broken hearted Goodbye stranger Ill take the fall Lies were tempting You know you never really threw me off at all Go ahead Waste your time Count me out Take your place at the end of the line Raise a glass No surprise Heres to us at the end of the line (oh) Heres to us at the end of the line Ill miss the version of you Who loved me And all that they dont see You said you could be good Somehow youre guilty And youre not even sorry chorus:

Well, I put so much thought into getting ready Now I know that was the best part Its so easy to get caught up in what Im regretting Forget what I got from a wounded heart chorus: Im the one who likes Gardenia Im the one who likes to make love on the floor I dont want to hang up the phone yet Its been good Getting to know me more Ive been seeing all my old friends in the city Walking alone in Central Park Doing all the things that Ive neglected Traded em all in To be in your arms chorus: Will I hear my own thoughts Sounds so silly Keep on telling my story all around Everything I lost seems so different Well, this is how everybody gets found
