C’mon Get Higher…

I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence
As you breathe out and I breathe in

If I could walk on water
If i could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water
If I could tell you whats next
Make you believe
Make you forget

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

I feel the pull of your heart
I taste the sparks on your tongue
I see angels and devils and god when you come on
Hold on

Hold on, hold on, hold on….

Come on get higher
Loosen my lips
Faith and desire
And the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love

It’s all wrong
It’s all wrong
It’s all wrong, its so right

Come on get higher
Come on and get higher
Because everything works love
Because everything works in your heart

Silence Speaks

The day hangs on, the sun soft in the sky and casting narrow shadows on the porch; the air smells of leaves and cinnamon. I watch the kitten stretch his legs out behind him, the breeze ruffling his stripy orange fur. No words are spoken, there are none. Just knowing you are there means more than conversation can. I want to lay down in the soft grass and wrap this day around me like a well-loved quilt.

Ordinary by Grand Avenue

Ten spiders crawl
on my walls
I guess that’s all
It’s just an ordinary day

I don’t know when
we’ll meet again
I guess it’ll be
an ordinary place

If my heart breaks
will you pick it up
and put it in a plastic box

If my heart fails
will you set it straight
will you be there if I call

Still got you on speed dial
So beautiful the lines you draw,
and the lines that makes our ordinary face
Through the day into the night……………..

Thank You

For all the lonely nights,
All the tears I’ve cried
All the things you said
All the times you lied
Thank you, Thank you

For the crack in my heart
That took forever to heal
Now there’s no scar,
No pain left to feel
Thank you, Thank you

You left me with no choice but moving on

Had to pick myself up
When you knocked my heart down
Took all of my strength
To get up off the ground
I never thought I could
But now I know I can

It’s a mountain I climbed
A page that I turned
A battle I won
A hard lesson learned
I never thought I’d be
The woman that I am

So thank you

For the way that he looks
When he looks in my eyes
A kiss on my lips
The love of my life
Thank you, Thank you

For letting me see
How good love can be
Because of the way
You didn’t love me
Thank you, Thank you

Now I wouldn’t want it any other way

Had to pick myself up
When you knocked my heart down
Took all of my strength
To get up off the ground
I never thought I could
But now I know I can

It’s a mountain I climbed
A page that I turned
A battle I won
A hard lesson learned
I never thought I’d be
The woman that I am

So thank you

For broken dreams
For swallowed pride
For closing doors
The blessings in disguise

It’s a mountain I climbed
A page that I turned
A battle I won
A hard lesson learned
I never thought I’d be
The woman that I am

Oh yeah it made me baby
The woman that I am
So thank you
