What it is you want from me I just can’t give And the things that you believe I just can’t live When you say I feel like home I don’t know how I have lived my life alone and I still am now But if you get it, I want it too And if you get it, I want it with you If you get it I want it Something’s got to get me off this ride And something’s got to fill me up inside And you don’t give up on me I wish you were right If what you’re saying is the truth It might save my life So we leave the world outside now Just you and me But you’ve got something on your side That’s bigger than I can be And if you get it, I want it too If you get it, I want it with you If you get it, I want it Something’s got to get me off this ride Something’s got to fill me up inside

Run Away 03:00
Well I miss your face and I can’t erase this emptiness Would you meet me where we said we would if it came to this? ‘Cause I gave my word and I swear that we’ll get through this Yes I know I ran, but I’m back again – let’s do this Baby I've got a plan, run away with me fast as you can Like a train on a track, once we go there is no turning back Knowing that we belong together, we will find our way When it’s the truth it does not matter what they say Knowing this love can’t be surrendered, we will find our way When it is real it does not matter what they say You’re the only one when I come undone who’s still holding on And it won’t be long ‘till there’s nothing wrong, where we belong Baby I've got a plan, run away with me fast as you can Like a train on a track, once we go there is no turning back Knowing that we belong together, we will find our way When it’s the truth it does not matter what they say Knowing this love can’t be surrendered, we will find our way When it is real it does not matter what they say Baby I've got a plan, run away with me fast as you can

So innocent and very small You’re hardly up to there at all And I’m here to take care of you But there is so much else to do I fear you’re growing up too fast What’s happened in the time that’s passed? You seem so old beyond your years I guess all parents have these fears It’s not enough to love, I must protect It’s not enough to love, I must notice ‘Cause time goes by and it’s too late My deep regrets won’t compensate It’s not enough to love Nowhere I could run, but thirty-two floors I could fall And when I looked down at the cars below It made me feel so small And just like that – the speed of sound It felt like I had hit the ground I wish that I can talked to you But there was so much else to do It’s not enough to love, you must protect It’s not enough to love, you must notice ‘Cause time goes by and it’s too late Your deep regrets won’t compensate It’s not enough to love It’s not enough to love Tell me why You keep your secrets locked inside you and time goes by Tell me why You keep your secrets locked inside you and time goes by Oooh time goes by It’s not enough to love, we must protect It’s not enough to love, we must notice ‘Cause time goes by and it’s too late Our deep regrets won’t compensate It’s not enough to love

Time is making a fool of me Oh but I helped it, I helped it along I’m tired of trying to free myself What good is crying when you’re lying when it counts? Lord, I need Grace to unfold and remember The heart of a child when there’s no one looking over your shoulder Shake off the doubt; it’s like concrete around my feet And I need some help now to be strong Time to move on, got nothing to hold me down But I need to hold on, hold on to You now Lord I need Grace to unfold and remember The heart of a child when there’s no one looking over your shoulder And there comes a point where it has to change ‘Cause too many times it’s turned out the same The break in your heart for what life should be And you know you’re running out of …. Time It’s making a fool of me Oh but I helped it, I helped it along Lord, I need Grace to unfold and remember The heart of a child when there’s no one looking over your shoulder Lord I need Grace to unfold and remember The heart of a child when there’s no one looking over your shoulder

Tonight I thought only of you When there were stars above my belly And the night ate blue velvet from black forever I felt something. Did you? Did you? Or has it been too long, too long for you to take it all back? Tonight I, I thought only only only of you Even when the spider clung mid-air And the shadows were breathing I whispered your name in the darkness Did you hear? Did you hear? Did you hear? Did you hear? Or has it been too long, too long for you to take it all back? Or has it been too long, too long for you to take it all back?

Quietly 03:12
Well we talked about the way our time was passing It’s like we flipped a coin and lost life everlasting And it’s a moment I do not care to repeat That kind of sadness that just kicks you off your feet And leaves you quietly Well if I had another day what would I do? I’d probably spend the hours arguing with you I’d cut you down and I’d be crying at your feet You’d have the kindness not to judge my self-defeat But then you left me quietly Quietly Quietly Quietly If I allow myself to long for you to hold me I need to hear all of the things you never told me And there’s a comfort when the sadness keeps you near But then I wake, and like a dream you've disappeared You left me quietly Quietly Quietly Quietly

Parabola West New Zealand

Mostly I write songs about our shared emotions, fears, and hiding places. Sometimes, just about rabbits. I hope you enjoy listening to the music as much as I enjoy creating it. If you find a piece of your story in here, sing it with me.
