• Getting Out Of My Own Way

   

  • Lyrics

    Don’t want to go back to where I started.
    Not when I’ve come this far.
    Ya, I was warn down. I had it all wrong;
    sinking deep into you to hide from me.

    The struggle with what I see and what I chose to make of it
    comes down to this one thing; my life can’t change
    if I stay stuck in yesterday.

    So I’m getting out of my own way.
    I remind myself again and again.
    I’m getting out of my own way.
    I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

    Don’t dare drink that bar dry and then lean there
    all messed up like that
    and say there’s nothing wrong.
    I’m done with this game. Find someone else.
    Don’t try to convince me with your warped reality.

    Ya, I’ve had my reasons to believe I could love enough
    for both you and me. Frozen in fantasy.
    The lies keep taunting me and I can barely breathe.

    So I’m getting out of my own way
    I remind myself again and again.
    I’m getting out of my own way.
    I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

    Oh… Oh…

    And now I’m saying exactly what I mean.
    I can’t let fear control me anymore.
    Not anymore. Not anymore, Not anymore…

    Cause I’m getting out of my own way.
    Dumping all baggage down the drain.
    Making room for a brand new day.
    I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

    So I’m getting out of my own way.
    I remind myself again and again.
    I’m getting out of my own way.
    I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

    Cause it’s too late to go back to where I started…

• I Wanna Be Pinocchio

   

  • Lyrics

    When will you find me?
    When will I be able to let go of all these ropes
    I hold onto every day?

    And when will I let someone in
    Instead of letting pretend travel on in,

    Think the problem's solved,
    Then wonder why I'm so unclear.

    I want to be Pinocchio for the day.
    You can be my Geppetto, and move me.

    And wiggle me, wiggle me, wiggle me all day.
    When will you fight for me

    And tell me it's all gonna be ok
    When I'm down to my last ounce of strength

    And want out of here?
    And what part of me should I release,

    So you can come and find me.
    ‘Cause honey I am running low,

    I sure could use the help.
    I want to be Pinocchio for the day.

    You can be my Geppetto and move me.
    And wiggle me, wiggle me, wiggle me all day.

    Ya, it could be so simple.
    You hold the ropes and move any part that rhymes with your soul.

    And I'll put all my trust in you.
    ‘Cause you're my Geppetto, Geppetto...

    Wow, oh, I won't let you down, I'll give you all of me.
    Oh, for once I gotta know that I could let go and be free.

    Be free, oh oh, da, da ,da ,da ,da ,da ,da...

    So, when will you find me?
    When will I be able to let go?

    Oh, I wanna know.
    ‘Cause it could be so simple.

    You hold the ropes and move any part that rhymes with your soul.
    And I'll put all my trust in you.

    Cause you're my Geppetto, Geppetto, Geppetto...

    For the day, for the day, for the day...

• Lone Pine

   

  • Lyrics

    Woke up this morning looking to change my ways
    My head is spinning
    Maybe another day
    ‘Cause it’s raining

    The sun ain’t shining
    Mother Nature is asking me to
    Wait, be patient and take a deep breathe
    And so I’m going up to Lone Pine

    I saw a rainbow...
    I’ve been riding the same old wave
    And when I fall
    I rush back on my feet again

    But it’s crazy
    As I keep on bruising
    Mother Nature is begging me to
    Wait, be patient and take a deep breathe

    Step into silence and out of your life...
    I’m going up to Lone Pine
    I saw a rainbow in the sky
    And Aunt Caroline says, “You’re doing just fine...

    You just gotta to open up, open up your mind.”
    Now I’ve been blind
    Treading water to survive
    Oh, into the abyss I go
