For all of you who have picked up the CD on iTunes (or burned your friend’s copy – naughty!), here are the lyrics you’ve been asking for:

Blue and Green
Monday you wrote such a sweet little note that soon led to 25 more
Tuesday you called but I couldn’t let it all show
Wednesday we spoke for an hour at last
the time’s going by so fast, it feels like I’m standing still

out on the pavement I see your face in every place that I turn to and you
light up this little girl, spin like a tilt-a-whirl round and round and round
I’ve spent so much time falling to pieces
cracks in the mirror but everything’s clearer now that you’re here to release me

I’m caught somewhere between the blue and green
the rush of uncertainty, the calm and the urgency of you

I will admire you and I’ll inspire you, I’ll never tire of the
fire in your eyes when you turn out the light
I’ll be just what I am and I’ll love you for all that you are, you are
the answer to questions I never knew how to ask
and I’ll be patiently waiting, some hesitating, hoping this intoxicating feeling will last

‘cause I’m caught somewhere between the blue and green
the rush of uncertainty, the calm and the urgency

I spend my whole day thinking of pictures you trace on my skin
nearly impossible to contain the state that I’m in
every breath is so uneven, sweet anticipation – too good to believe ‘cause

I’m caught somewhere between the blue and green
the rush of uncertainty, the wanting you here with me
the calm and the urgency of you

Let Him Be
so I’m drivin’ up the freeway, finally on the road and on my way
I’m goin’ 90, 95, and as the city lights fade I start to feel more alive
and he’s sleeping sound in the passenger seat
so I ride the center line, avoid the bumps and let him be

this woman on the radio is singin’ about her long lost love and how she makes it on her own
my mind begins to wander, I wonder if I’ll ever find a place that I can call home
and I want to talk about the future now, but he’s sleepin’ sound
so I ride the line – and let him be

and I don’t know where this long road ends
can’t remember when we crossed that line between lovers and friends
I need some consolation, just give me a conversation
tell me that we took the right turn

the sun is going down over sleepy country towns and he stirs and looks around
I start to say something but it comes out as nothing and he just smiles and goes back down
and the world outside begins to blur
all these things left unsaid make my stomach churn, and I
wonder if I’ll ever have the nerve

but I ride the line
and I let him be

Slow
he’ll find her long hair on the pillow
and she’ll find herself unable to sleep at night
they’ll make their way through the day to day and try to take it slow
try to let it go

she’ll swear it was just a fling, didn’t mean a thing
sometimes we all get a little wild
he’ll come in late from his coffee break trying to shake the tears
he’s been hiding like a child
she’ll pass by and he’ll catch her eye and time will slow
and he’ll turn to go

it was just one night, it was only one dance
like a scene from a movie their whirlwind romance
maybe unwise looking back with clear eyes
but that’s just the way love sometimes wants to go
with a hunger like that, they couldn’t have taken it slow

he’ll do the thing where he dials every digit but the last one and hangs up fast
when he starts to lose his nerve
and she’ll drive the wrong way down a one-way street, and look up saying his name
just in time to swerve

and if anybody asks, they’ll both laugh and say
I nearly forgot about that and
she’ll blush and he’ll turn away, is it over just like that

it was just one night, it was only one dance
like a scene from a movie their whirlwind romance
maybe unwise looking back with clear eyes
but that’s just the way love sometimes wants to go
with a hunger like that, they couldn’t have taken it slow

Stolen
I’m tossing in my sleep trying to
shut him out of fever dreams
it’s only been a week – a half-hearted
fantasy, wondering what he sees in me

in our separate space we are idols from a higher place
the beautiful ones that everyone wants
and I’d be happy to adore him from a distance
but knowing he adores me from a distance makes this

hard, and it’s slow
longing for just one more moment, knowing that he has to go
and it’s false, and it’s weak
nothing to be said now, but in our silence, we’re both aching to speak

this emotion, frustrated confusion
is it all an illusion and will I wake up to a harsh and empty space
his devotion lies in someone else’s arms
and I am just an outsider trying to save face

and it’s hard, and it’s slow
wanting to be all he wants, knowing that’s not how this goes
and it’s false, and it’s weak
nothing to be said now, but in our silence, we’re both aching to speak

and I’m stronger than this, I’ve been through this before
but what’s one more lesson when the stolen moments are worth living for?

and it’s hard, and it’s slow
longing for just one more moment, knowing he has somewhere to go
and it’s false, and I’m so weak
there’s nothing to be said now, but in our silence, we’re both aching to speak

Try
the open road is calling me
and I’m trying to be strong
but as much as I want to stay here tonight,
this isn’t where I belong

it’s hard to look in your eyes tonight
there’s so much I want to confess
like the way I’ll miss the curl of your lip
and waking to watch you dress

it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never asked to watch me go
but I never asked you to try

as days grew shorter and time slipped past
leaving me lost in its wake
I tried to warn you that I never last
while you tried to not let me break

but I drift with the southern wind
and my heart follows the sun
and everything’s beautiful when it begins
and every time, I still run

it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never asked to watch me go
but I never asked you to try

and I’ll be the one to confess
that I can’t go on like this

‘cause it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never asked to watch me go
but I never asked you to try

it’s hard to love me, I know
but it’s harder to tell you goodbye
and you never planned to let me go
but I have to ask you to try
