Lyrics
Have you ever been silent for so long
That the spoken word comes out wrong?
And you find yourself a bit tense,
Backed against the fence
And you ride yourself to the floor
When all you gotta do is...Bend a little more to let him in
Bend a little more to let him inAnd you said just maybe it was me and not you
And you said how unfair I could be
How you dizzied me with your feel
Oh baby this can't be real
How you rollercoastered my mind
Oh baby, I think it's time I...Bend a little more to let you in
Bend a little more to let him inAnd now I'm warming up my heart
And I'm tearing down that wall
It's ok this time if I fallBend a little more to let you in
Bend a little more to let you inI'm finding all the words
For once, opening my door
I'm winding up the spool
And rolling into youYes I'm finding all the words
For once, opening my door
I'm winding up the spool
And rolling into youBend a little more... Oh, a little more...
All ya gotta do is... All ya gotta do is... Bend
Bend a little more... Oh, a little more...
All ya gotta do is... All ya gotta do is... Bend

Lyrics
I'm happy, I'm sad, can't make up my mind
But one thing I do know, when I think of you
I start to glow'Cause you're my truth, my dignity
My lost youth I'm reaching to findI'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing, without you, without you, without you...Lost my job today, rock bottom you might say
Never felt so low in my life as I do now
I took me down to ciderville
where I knew that you would be
Not a clue, oh answerless
Still you showed me what you see in me'Cause you're my truth, my dignity
My lost youth I'm reaching to findI'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing without you, without you, without youOh now, you told me to improvise to set myself free
And you said I'm halfway there
And you said, "don't stop yet."
You said, "you'll see, you'll see..."
Oh, I've seen that...I'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing...'Cause you're my truth and my dignity
My lost youth I'm ready to find...I'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing, nothing without you
I'm nothing, without you, without you, without you...© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

Lyrics
Little Maeve was born today.
Early December she made her way.
Right on time, she didn't skip a beat.
Look at those tiny hands and those tiny feet.That was once you and me.
We used to believe in rainbows.
Flying high for us to see
The beauty within our reach,
The beauty of being free.Now, it's 6:26 on that Monday night.
Little Maeve has a smile on her face
She's gonna sleep well tonight.
Mama cries, Daddy don't know what to say.
He's speechless in every way.That was once you and me.
We used to believe in rainbows.
Flying high for us to see
The beauty within our reach,
The beauty of being free.And little Maeve colors and paints the days
Purple, Green and Gray.
And if she ever feels the strain,
She remembers it's all a game.That was once you and me.
We used to believe in rainbows.
Flying high for us to see
The beauty within our reach,
The beauty of being free.© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

he’s like strawberry milk

Lyrics
He's there sleeping while I'm still awake
But I don't get up and leave
Something makes me want to stay.
Unknown territory, how could I feel so safe...
As he's wrapped up next to me, I think it's plain to seeThat what he gave me
When he said goodbye
Was a new way for me to go back in timeHe's like strawberry milk when you were a child
He's like the perfect purple gray sunset
you haven't seen in a long while
And he's how you feel when you're totally at ease...
And he's like what you went through
when you were in love at 16
Ah ah, Ah ah, My Strawberry Milk ManTiming is everything I must say...
'Cause he came into my life
The perfect time on the perfect day
His gentle smile and his soft touch
His simple way of saying just enoughNothing to hide from or behind
Well, he just goes ahead
He says just what's on his mindHe's like strawberry milk when you were a child
He's like the perfect purple gray sunset
you haven't seen in a long while
And he's how you feel when you're totally at ease...
And he's like what you went through
when you were in love at 16Now he's 5000 miles away, oh ya....
My smile still won't fadeStrawberry milk when you were a child
He's like the perfect purple gray sunset
you haven't seen in a long while
And he's how I feel when I'm totally at ease...
And he's like what I went through
when I was in love at 16
Ah ah, Ah ah, My Strawberry Milk Man
Ah ah, Ah ah, My Strawberry Milk Man...

running out of time

Lyrics
How long does it take
How long 'till I break
How much can I fake
Liking what I see in front of meSilly twisted youth
Hidden in the wise
Well, I can't compromise
No, not anymore
You see... I'm running out of time
Oh, I'm running out of timeSo let's layer up the days
And peel the baggage away
A friend for life
Help me solve this strife
And stop me from dancing 'round the truth
Stop me from dancing around the truth...I am what I know
And I am all that I can see
Far away I've gone so I'd, oh I'd come right back here to me
And I dreamt of Miss Hollywood tonight
Oh, she said she'd come for me
As soon as she done twirling around the apple tree
Oh, Miss, Miss Hollywood, she'll come for meSilly twisted youth
Hidden in the wise
Well I can't compromise
No, not anymore
You see... I'm running out of time
Oh, I'm running out of timeSix years back
Felt I knew so much
Stop this now
Oh, I can't take it anymore
You see, I'm running out the door
While I keep running back for moreOh, now I, I swear to you
She went by my door
And I, I swear to you
She told me so much more... Running out of time.......© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

Lyrics
Rain, fall down on me
And cleanse me of all I've seen
Oh, help me believeNow, I'm a traveler on this road,
filled with highs and lows
I chased my dream, lost my car, my house
and now I'm broke
Do I let go...
Hell no...Rain, fall down on me
Well, I just had an epiphany
Oh, now it's all up to meYou see, I'm a lover, not a hater, truth now be known
I wear my heart on my sleeve for all to share with me
It used to bother me...
Not anymore...Rain, fall down on me
The smile once lost, now can be seen
Oh, cause I've made my peaceAnd what I've learned is that life is too short
You gotta ask and you'll receiveRain, fall down on me
Rain, fall down on me
Now, oh I, I do believe
Oh, rain, fall down on me
Oh, now I, I do believe
It's all up to me
Oh, now I've made my peace
Rain, fall down on me
Oh, I've, I've made my peace...© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

Lyrics
Little love notes all around
Under the toaster... in a mug
Under the pillow... waiting for his love...
We know how this one ends...Miranda, I think you should know
Whatever that boy says
Be sure to take it with a mountain of snow
Sweet talk'n love'n man
He takes 'cause he knows he can...I've been here before
An out pour of tears followed by but he's so sincere
Just don't forget to put the toilet seat down
Oh and leave the butter out...
Oh Miranda, Oh I think you should goAnd Miranda, it's time you learn
Enslaved by the concept
Oh girl, you're gonna get burned
'Cause he swept you off your feet
As sure as a shepherd rounds his sheepWell, I've been here before
Question your own name when you walk out his door
Oh, he'll make you think he's a big man
Well, he's a touch of truth
with a whole lot of nothing in his pants
Oh Miranda, girl, you gotta goSo Miranda, one more thing before I go
You see, I didn't answer
But I read your every note, wow
And all those feelings reappeared
What I had gone through during my younger yearsI've been there before
An out pour of tears followed by but he's so sincere
Well, he'll make you think he's a big man
Well, he's a touch of truth
with a whole lot of nothing in his pants
Oh Miranda, girl, oh it's time you goLittle love notes all around...

Lyrics
Let me tell ya 'bout life, Let me tell ya 'bout love
Let me tell ya 'bout the things gone wrong
Let me tell ya 'bout life, Let me tell ya 'bout love
Let me tell ya 'bout the things gone wrong
And the things gone right... Oh I'll tell you tonightI'd sit on my bed, I'd daydream for hours
'Til the image became real
I held him in my arms
River was his name
Oh I have to come clean
I'm no saint
No, I'm no saintLet me tell ya 'bout life, Let me tell ya 'bout love
Let me tell ya 'bout the things gone wrong
Let me tell ya 'bout life, Let me tell ya 'bout love
Let me tell ya 'bout the things gone wrong
And the things gone right... Oh I'll tell you tonight
Ya I tell you tonightNow I know I've done wrong
And I know who's to blame
But I choose not to speak her name
But trust what I say
Oh I've learned the hard way
A violin needs to be played
Oh I'm no saint
Oh I'm no saintLet me tell ya 'bout life, Let me tell ya 'bout love
Let me tell ya 'bout the things gone wrong
Let me tell ya 'bout life, Let me tell ya 'bout love
Let me tell ya 'bout the things gone wrong
And the things gone right... Oh I'll tell you tonight
Ya I tell you tonightNow I was ten
And all alone
Feeling unsolved like a mystery
Crazy maybe to all but me
But now I see
The question no longer standsYou see...I believed... I lost... I forgave... Now I know...
Oh I believed...And I lost...But I forgave... And now I know...Oh I'll tell you tonight, Ya I tell ya tonight
Oh I tell you tonight, Ya I tell you tonight
Ya I tell you tonight...© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

Lyrics
Another endless night
In my bed I lie
Staring at cobwebs that hang from my ceiling
Numb from my head to my toes without feeling
Numb without feelingAll the while I die
But bring myself to smile
'Cause now that it's over I see how you saved me
Somehow you took but somehow you still gave me
Somehow still gave meNow, oh it's clear
Oh, I'm still here
Washed away footprints
Oh, how I've grown
You were just, you were just... my stepping stoneLearned from all the pain
Tears not cried in vain
I've healed from the heartbreak, no longer feel guilty
I'm stronger than ever, you're love didn't kill me
No, your love didn't kill meNow, oh it's clear
Oh, I'm still here
Washed away footprints
Oh, how I've grown
You were just, you were just...Call it bittersweet, serendipity
That you're, oh you're still you,
But I'm a better meOh Ya, well now, oh it's clear
Oh, I'm still here
Washed away footprints
Oh, how I've grown
You were just, you were just...
my stepping stone, my stepping stone,
Now you were just, you were just...

am i a woman

Lyrics
Gonna keep my feet close to the tar
And my hair brown
Gonna put on a suit and tie
Put the man on inside of me for a while
So they know I mean business
They ain't gonna get me downBut am I a woman
You see, I forget sometimes
'Cause I've been running around this town
Trying to make sense of me right nowSo I'm gonna steady my breath
Balance the tears with the smiles
No need to climb that fence
When I could just walk right around
You see, I took another look, I saw another side
It’s been staring me in the face all the whileBut am I a woman
You see, I forget sometimes
'Cause I've been running around in my life
I think I got lost in my own fireAnd oh, I'm tired, I'm so tired
So tell me, Am I? Am I?So won't you empty my pond so I could fill my ocean
And touch me, feel me now
Oh won't you touch me, feel me now
And tell me, Am I? 'Cause I forget sometimes...© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

almost to california

Lyrics
We said we'd take your bed
Our cd's, and pack them in the van
We'd go from New York City, to New Orleans
Canada to Mexico, heading up the coastWell I guess the days grew out longer
When we lost track of time
When we lost track of the road we mapped
Somehow we missed the signsAnd oh we were almost to California in my mind
So close to leaving it all behind
No looking back
Our bags were packed
We were almost to California in my mindAnd isn't it funny how
One plan turns into a life
But it's been a while since we've seen
Beyond the city lightsAnd oh we were almost to California in my mind
So close to leaving it all behind
No looking back
Our bags were packed
We were almost to California in my mindLosing you was the hardest thing
Oh I ever had to do
So close to San Francisco Bay
When I had to walk awayYou see we were almost to California in my mind
So close to leaving it all behind
No looking back
Our bags were packed
We were almost to California in my mind
Oh we were almost to California in my mind
Ya we were almost to California in my mind
Oh we were almost to California in my mindWords & Music: Jennifer Vazquez

Lyrics
Well, you left the key to our tomorrow outside my door
You flew right back to where you'd come from
You said no moreWell, walk on my own, I have done this before
Quickly whisk away my tears
Get back on my feet
Cover up this disease
The days and the nights
And as my strength builds
As the clock passes time
Well I wonder if your heart ever felt mineI don't want to say goodbye
Let's give it one more try
'Cause even in the dark I see your face
It's as clear as the sky on a warm summer's day
I don't want to say goodbye
Don't make me say goodbyeWell, was it my imagination
Was I floating on a dream
Did I force fate on you
Well, I sit back and trace the truth
Me a sculpture and you my clay
Fitting every mold that I make
And as my hand shakes
Not sure of the now
Your forever smile turns downI don't want to say goodbye
Let's give it one more try
'Cause even in the dark I see your face
It's as clear as the sky on a warm summer's day
I don't want to say goodbye
Don't make me say goodbyeWell, you left the key to our tomorrow outside my door
And oh well now you flew right back
to where you'd come from
You said no moreWell I don't want to say goodbye
Don't make me say goodbye...© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

Lyrics
Tell me where you want to go
I'll take you there right now
England, Paris or Rome
Anywhere to take you back... back home, back homeCircles sound in my mind and on my wall
A head with a 1000 portholes
I entered one last night
Oh, I've gotta fight to take you home'Cause in your hands, I found your eyes
And in your eyes, your darkest hour
So I give you my smile until you find yours
And my heart 'till yours finds it's beatI'm right here by your side
I'll take the fall
I don't mind the bumpy ride
Oh, I'll take the pain, ya baby
Heaven will bring angels to heal your name'Cause in your hands, I found your eyes
And in your eyes, your darkest hour
So I give you my smile until you find yours
And my heart 'till yours finds it's beat© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP
