about me
music and lyrics: a. witt
isn't it funny
i was so right about you all along
mmm hmmm
isn't it crazy
how much i wanted you to prove me wrong
la da da da
i wanna grind you into the floor
but you're not worth the scuff on my shoe
i wanna make you take a look in the mirror
but hey- enough about you
what about me
this is my voice now
spent too long letting you say it all
and i don't care how many ways you take down
everyone else cuz i'm standing tall
put it away cuz i'm done with your game
it's time for a new set of rules
you can't live without me? well this one's about me
and baby i'm over you
i bet you never once looked back at all the shit i took from you
i bet you never saw this comin wonder what you're gonna do
so sick of talkin bout your stupid life
so sick of hearin you got so little time
you're as deep as a sock and as true as a lie
yeah fuck your shit are you ready for mine?
(chor)
this one is not about a boy
this is about the void i left wide open
this one is almost like a gift
feels like a weight has lifted off my shoulders
and i don't want you missin me
don't need your sympathy
dont care how many things you left unspoken
go try your tricks out on some other bitch
not here to be your fix
cuz i'm not broken
what about me
this is my voice now
spent too long sayin nothin at all
and i won't shut up, no i like the sound
say what you want but i'm not gonna fall
put it away cuz i'm done with your game
from now on we play by my rules
you can't live without me? well this one's about me
and baby i'm over you
already gone
written by alicia witt & mike bradford - 2012
i'm not looking for
what you think i am
i should let you down gently
nothing i can do to lose my mind
you're too close to reaching
what i never want to find
you can look but you won't find me i'm
already gone
you can't tell i hide it well and i
keep moving on
i'm already gone
can't sit still and i
can't run fast enough
nothing's ever come easy
hard to hold the dam from breaking free
and all the lies i've left behind
come pouring out of me
you can look but you won't find me i'm
already gone
you can't tell i hide it well and i
keep moving on
i'm already gone
didn't know what we were getting into
no one ever does until it ends
anyway
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt and Matt Beckley
i’m bruised again i wear it well the self inflicted tale they telli singed my hair i broke my nails you’d love me then if all else failed the night was long and dark and just another dagger to my trusti thrust it in until i bleed i wiped my point for you to see
and anyway it’s over now - nothing left to sayi don’t know why i don’t care how
it’s over anyway
its broken in pieces
you got the space you needed
too late to try just say goodbye its over anyway
i fell so far i felt so small i shrank to not exist at alli beat me up till i was sure you gave me just what i deservedi woke up every day afraid my so called faith went up in flames still i believed in all your lies for the life of me i don’t know why
they got you wrong youre not that strong i don’t belong here
and anyway it’s over now - nothing left to sayi don’t know why i don’t care how
it’s over anyway
its broken in pieces
you got the space you needed
too late to try just say goodbye its over anyway
you’ll say i’m self destructive - i constructed all this tragedy
go tell them all it’s all my fault - you’ll tell them i was crazy
blind
written by alicia witt, jeff fiorello and matt beckley - 2009
you keep waiting for me to come to my senses
waiting for the other shoe to fall
how can i walk, walk away from what we had
like it never never happened at all...
...this time gone by and i keep waiting for the words to say
but nothing's changed
nothing that a little living won't heal
nothing but a little love i don't feel
take it or leave it it's all i can say
made up my mind and i'm walking away
you keep waiting for me to see the light
but i've gone blind to you
i've gone blind to you, blind
you keep wonderin' what i've done to make this die
waiting for the other man to call
i could never break your heart and leave that way
like i never, never loved you at all...
....i know is i can see forever and it's come and gone
but nothing's wrong
nothing that a little living won't heal
nothing but a little love i don't feel
take it or leave it it's all i can say
made up my mind and i'm walking away
you keep waiting for me to see the light
but i've gone blind to you
i've gone blind to you, blind
saw the writing on the wall
before it was written
i knew it all felt wrong
even when it didn't
you don't know why i'm not cryin
as you're standing there about to leave
so sorry baby but i'm already free
blinkers
blinkers on wear em just the perfect size
so you're halfway gone but you never lose your mind
ride this out no coincidence at all
cuz it's all too loud no matter what it's called
hold on tight all you have to stay is cool
you can fold in five cuz the house is yours to lose
don't need sleep when you're feeding on a flame
and a smile so deep that it doesn't know its name
go on you got this one life to live
you gotta take up your hook and sail
let go you know the letdown
give it a chance why don't you to fail
laugh out loud in the face of the absurd
at the shape of sound that you never knew you heard
which came first the poem or the pen
yeah it all goes blurred when you're falling down again
go on you got this one life to live
you gotta take up your hook and sail
let go you know the letdown
give it a chance why don't you to fail
what if for once you see all you could've been is all that you're gonna be
why can't you stay this spellbound
give it a chance why don't you
to lead
christmas miracle
sleigh bells and snowflakes
and magic in the air
warm nights and cold days
and laughter everywhere
mistletoe i hang alone
and stockings filled with faith
turn my eyes to winter skies
and search them for a sleigh
cuz if i wish with all my heart
this time of year it might come true
hope with all i’ve got
that this will get to you
i don’t want gifts i’ve made my list
theres just one thing i need
a christmas miracle
to bring you home to me
i’ll tell you i love you
not only in my dreams
we’ll fall asleep beneath the tree
like kids on christmas eve
i grew up so long ago
but truly i believe
santa knows the things we don’t
and so i’m asking please
cuz if i wish with all my heart
this time of year it might come true
hope with all i’ve got
that this will get to you
i don’t want gifts i’ve made my list
theres just one thing i need
a christmas miracle
to bring you home to me
it isn’t peace on earth i know
but i’m still asking please
a christmas miracle
to bring you home to me
consolation prize
music and lyrics: alicia witt – 2013
every now and then
i wonder how you’ve been in all this time
i wonder if you ever came around to
what went down and
once in awhile i think of all the life we spent together
and i don’t even know your number anymore
looking back at all your quiet desperation
in retrospect now aren’t you glad i let you go
isn’t it nice to know that you’re not my consolation prize
doesn’t it feel like freedom breathin in and out now
isn’t it good to see all the love in someone else’s eyes
doesn’t it all make sense that you’re better off without me
oh, oh, whoa
oh, oh… whoa
i wonder if you kept the painting that i gave you
pretty sure she made you throw it out
that sucks i would have loved to have it back
i only brought it home for you because i loved it
all revisionary history aside i loved you too
so why am i the bad guy in your estimation
for being brave enough to say what we we both knew
isn’t it nice to know that you’re not my consolation prize
doesn’t it feel like freedom breathin in and out now
isn’t it good to see all the love in someone else’s eyes
doesn’t it all make sense that you’re better off without me
oh, oh, whoa
oh, oh… whoa
no grand intention
no pain to mention
just too many days that fade to blue
and look how it came out perfect
for better would have been for worse if
i’d have been the one to settle down that walk with you
down (feat. T.O.N.E.-z)
music by alicia witt, lyrics by alicia witt & T.O.N.E-z
Sick of the game and living in pain emotionally drained
The shame in our name breaking the chains
A life full of money and devious ways
The love in our heart is family bound
We all have grown up made a mark in this town
Promises made to keep us together
Material wealth enduring the weather
Been bustin' our guns stacking them funds
Bodies laid out decay in the sun
Enemies shook they're scared to approach
We ran the game never needed a coach
The time has come to break all the shackles
Blood is blood we're forever attached to
Tired of living this lawless life
Forever we're crows time to take flight
down with the guns and gutters
down with the clear blue sea
down where you call my number
no you won't ever find me
Doing this for myself no help when I move
Look into the mirror got something to prove
Nothing to lose I gave all I could
Beef a drama surrounding my hood
My siblings are crazy I love'm to death
But we're playing a game and pain is the ref
I'm changing the rules paid all my dues
Load up the whip and bounce on you fools
Ha been a dreamer since the cradle
Cooking some plans setting the table
Time for a feast get ready to grub
Wave to my fam throw them some love
I'm not really trying to hurt nobody
Clear out my path but don't try to stop me
down with the guns and gutters
down with the clear blue sea
down where you call my number
no you won't ever find me
down with the shame and shutters
down with the bloodstained stream
down with the bones and bluster
boy, you won't ever find me
Like I said before
Forever we're crows but we never dose or
Sleep on our toes cause poverty chose
To tackle our lives but we keep it G
Protecting our pride why
Cause this is the world that we live (in)
Never submit (in) times that we get in trouble
We flip the game reversing the pain
Never do it for fame
We do what we do it is what it is
But I have a life that I'm trying to live
Bask in the sun take a deep breath
There's happiness out there I want what's left
down with the guns and gutters
down with the clear blue sea
down where you call my number
no you won't ever find me
earful
lie awake
my mistakes playing back in my head
every word that i wish i had said
if you were here you’d get an earful tonight
your fingers on my shoulder
did you mean it that way
is it my imagination are you feeling the same
if you were here you’d get an earful tonight
yeah if you were here you'd get an earful tonight
i would ask you if i’m on your mind
did the whole world stop when your eyes met mine
like a twenty second life time
it was a twenty second life time
did you feel the same deja vu
like a memory you never knew you knew
did you see it as it all flashed by
if you were here you’d get an earful (tonight)
Caught in thoughts
Getting lost
If you’re not on my page
Then i’m obsessed it’s a mess in my brain
Words on a phone, can’t read your tone, can’t decide
And I can’t unsee the secrets between the lines
Yeah if you were here you’d get an earful tonight
I would ask you if I’m on your mind
Did the whole world stop when your eyes met mine?
For a 20 second lifetime
a 20 second lifetime
Did you feel the same déjà vu?
like a memory you never knew you knew
Did you see it as it all flashed by
Yeah if you were here you’d get an earful
maybe I'm crazy making this up alone
but I just need to know if I'm right
what if the reason why i can’t let you go
is cuz you’re supposed to be in my life
I wanna tell you you’ve been on my mind
That the whole world stopped when your eyes met mine
For a 20 second lifetime
A 20 second lifetime
Did you feel the same déjà vu?
Feel your heart beat faster than you ever knew
Did you see it as it all flashed by
Yeah if you were here you'd get an earful tonight
fighting for crumbs
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt and Alex Solowitz, 2011
damn my intuition here it goes
wish i didn’t know the things i know
youre backing off from me
i saw it happening
the moment she came back to you
you never said so didn’t have to
that sinking feeling always knew
and i don’t understand
you’re trying to hide it but you can’t
no need to tell me that its true
looks like it’s time to walk away
looks like my moment here is done
your heart is broken in too many pieces
and i’m not fighting for crumbs
did you really think i wouldn’t notice
it hurts the most that you don’t know this
i hear what you don’t say
i see it on your face
leaving out the truth is still a lie
you want me here in case she breaks your heart again
you keep your second place i only came to win
i hope it's me
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt – 2011
your life is like a movie your heart’s a thing of beauty
you spread your beats all over town
i don’t know how you do it you make em all so stupidthey love you when you're not around
i've been seeing something thru the cracks
will i catch you looking back
when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely
when the traffic at your door is growing old
when you need a place to lay down your story when the only thing you wanna be is home
when you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding
the day the freedom stops feeling freewhen you're ready to give all of you to someonei hope its mei hope its me
i’ll never let you see this i’ll keep your dirty secretsi’ll help you sweep the mess you make
but i can barely breathe some times i wonder if you see the kind
of everything i wanna say
and yeah you're chasing what you feel right now
but someday you may turn around
when the crowd around you starts to make you lonely when the traffic at your door is growing old when you need a place to lay down your story when the only thing you wanna be is homewhen you wanna wake up knowing who you're holding
the day the freedom stops feeling freewhen you're ready to give all of you to someonei hope its mei hope its me
you could make me something no one else has done
but someone just like you has never come
i'm not ready for christmas
music and lyrics: alicia witt - 2012
another summer's gone
don't know where it went
i can't believe it's that time of year again
winter's closing in
some kind of messed up time
the calendar begins its race to
december 25
i'm not ready for christmas
don't need a gift list
don't give a shit
how many shopping days are left
this holiday season
give me one reason
i should believe it's ever gonna change and
why should i be merry
when every january
i come back so very broken hearted
i'm not ready for christmas
i think i'll skip this one and
santa i will see you next year
got my blue jeans on
no need for red and green
go rock your light up hat
i'm not tryna make a scene
it just occurs to me
the grinch was not so mean
he had a point or two
i think he'd've liked me
i'm not ready for christmas
not gonna listen
don't even ask me cuz i'm tellin you i'm not
unpackin my tinsel
puttin up mistle-
toe this year i'm gonna kiss it goodbye
and i don't wanna tree or
any company it's
never how i dream it
white or otherwise
i'm not ready for christmas
won't even miss this yule tide
peace on earth i'll see you next time
i'm done with wrapping boxes
buying things that no one wanted
trying on my own to save the day
while dad plays cards and bro reads verses
mom's in tears between the curses
i need a fucking holiday
i'm not ready for christmas
don't need a gift list
give me your stockings and i'll stuff em for ya
i'm not ready for sleigh bells
two months of carols
playing from galway bay to california
and i'm not makin nog
or dressing up the dog
you can keep your yule log
i'm still burned out
i'm not ready for christmas
i think i'll sit this out and
maybe i will see you next year
is this what you meant
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt, 2011
rushin through the world in your unmade bed
with your head on fire and your heart undressed
you can always tell when youre in my dreams
nothing but the clothes that you left remain
in a paper bag with a faded stain
you can always tell when i wipe you clean
aint no surprise you’d call me up today
aint no surprise i’m still the same
is this what you meant is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong
isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind
Don't u think I know I'm a joke these days
with a broken track and a laugh I've saved
From the time I almost gave a damn
Guess i built u up til u tumbled down
And u tried so hard just to stay around
U tried to love me the way I am
i never heard a word u had to say
so mad i couldn't have my way
is this what you meant is this what you said
that some day i might miss you when youre gone
is this what you saw is this what you want
just to hear me say that i was wrong
isn’t this right where i belong
here on the floor imploring you to change your mind
is this what you meant is this what you meant
still no less the mess you left behind
still no less alone without your hand in mine
waiting by the phone after all this time
wishing i had one more chance to never let you go
wishing you’d come say i told you so
judgment day
Alicia Witt, 2010
take this book of lies and burn it down
break your bank of rules
scrape your knees and bleed the fire out
flame to fight the fuel
hold your head up high to face the past
stare it in the teeth
question everything you never ask
the earth shall drink the meek
is there lighting in your veins
is there something that remains
nothings ever gonna change
so take yourself out in the rain
life is bleedin while you wait
waitin for your judgment day
hypocrites and fools to line your towr
proof you might belong
justified and cruel the velvet hour
drowns out all your wrong
is there lighting in your veins
is there something that remains
nothings ever gonna change
so take yourself out in the rain
life is bleedin while you wait
waitin for your judgment day
you woke up dead
you filled your head
with all this shit to crowd the pain
your promised land
slips thru your hands
the soul you sacrificed to save
letting you go
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt, 2011
This is the part where i walk away
Fade to darkness start this back off where u found me
This is the day i say i'm busy when i'm not
And watch u try to bring me back before i'm really gone
This is where i start letting you go
thÍs is where it all comes down
This is when i first begin getting over u
this is where it all comes down
This is where u start to scare me
Weaving me between your threads of fables gold and blue
dark as plunder smooth like heroin
i fly away on what you see in all ive never been
This is where i start letting you go
thÍs is where it all comes down
This is when i first begin getting over u
this is where it all comes down
you could wrap me up
In boystained sheets and midday morn
until the sun goes out
tie me down til all these days gone by
give up the ghost and fill me til i drown
i’m falling i’m falling
theres no way out
i’ll break you i’ll break you now
love anyway
written by Alicia Witt and Jeff Cohen, 2016
wrote the happy end
before the story ever started
but you chose a different book
used to be so free with me
now suddenly you're guarded
I've lost you now, I know that look
and everything that you're not sayin
I've heard it all before
so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
keep my heart wide open
I'm gonna keep my head up
like I know where I'm going
I'm gonna look you in the eye
stare down faith and all the signs
that say
nothing's gonna change
and love anyway
I can't change my heart's refrain
when i know what I feel
and you won't tell me what you're needing
I'd do anything and everything to make this real
but once again I've just been dreaming
words are gonna fail me
there's too much left to say
so I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
keep my heart wide open
I'm gonna keep my head up
like I know where I'm going
I'm gonna look you in the eye
stare down faith and all the signs
that say
nothing's gonna change
and love anyway
even when they say you can’t go on, go on…
friend
me or new york
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt and Jeff Fiorello, 2010
all of these faces look just the same
lookin for someone in me
all of em wanting to see how i’ve changed
i don’t know who’s to blame… me or new york
they keep on askin where are you goin
i don’t have the answer in me
they keep on bein so sure without knowin
there aint no place like home it’s me or new york
me and new york never sleep any more
we just keep movin on without goin nowhere
leavin before i could take it or go
now i’m tired and nobody’s going to care
what are we waitin here for it’s me or new york
outta these windows they keep on movin
i just wanna fall back asleep
all of their eyes on me faintly accusing
who you tryin to be…
me and new york never sleep any more
we just keep movin on without goin nowhere
leavin before i could take it or go
now i’m tired and nobody’s going to care
what are we waitin here for it’s me or new york
late nights fade into day light wired and
weary we dream all alonethe trains and my mind losin track of the timeone or the other must go
friend
how do i put this well
you rip me down and fell
the branches i've been building up around me
til i think i'm gonna cry
not because it hurts it's just been so damn long
since i could see the sky
and here's the part where i'm
supposed to play it cool
won't be the first time i'm accused of sayin way too much
but i don't wanna be your burden
i don't wanna weigh you down
i don't wanna make you hurt
i just wanna stay around
i don't wanna turn you on
this aint no start but it aint no end
i don't wanna be your promise
i just wanna be your friend
you've split me spine to page
i smile so wide the strangest ways
i can't believe you'd open up your complicated life to me
but lately i've been so afraid you'll change your mind
and wake up one day thinking i've become too close for comfort
(chor)
you're a road i never cleared a path for
it's safe to say you made your own way over
you're a gift i'd never dare to ask for
i'm just asking you to stay
cuz i don't wanna be your burden
i don't wanna weigh you down
i don't wanna make you hurt
i just wanna stay around
i don't wanna turn you on
this aint no start no happy end
i don't wanna be your promise
i just wanna be your friend
new word
music and lyrics: alicia witt - 2011
i wish i never said i love you
i wish i had a new hand
i wish i knew the thing i used to think it was
was nothing less than everything i planned
you walked in and lit my shadows
for once i’m not afraid to lose
clear as day i see the frame beneath this steel
the empty spaces in the shape of you
it’s all been said it’s all been done
it’s all been wasted on the ones
who came before and fade to grey
they all look more or less the same
and here you are i’m swept away
you make it hard for me to say
a simple line they’ve all been used
i’ll have to find a new word for you
i could tell you you amaze me
but you’d still have no idea
feels so good to know i really wasn’t crazy
so good to find you standing here
right now
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt and Jeff Fiorello
RIGHT NOW
i always think of you at the wrong times
she’s close enough to kiss
i thought i wanted this
but when i think of you i change my mind
tonight i laughed so hard it ached
put a silly movie on
then we talked until the dawn
but you’re the reason why i’m still awake
i want to be holding you right now
i want to fall asleep in your arms
i want to feel your breath in my hair
i want to be wherever you are
tonight i stayed out late and i drank a few
she called at half past three
and i smiled in my sleep
but i still wished it were you
tonight we watched the moon til the sun came out
i took his hand in mine
and i went all warm inside
but then i thought of you and it all fell down
you said i mess with your mind
i chose to hear a compliment
you were only real when you looked in my eyes
i saw everything you meant
satellite
wasting my time
following you
falling behind
the flight that you choose
you say you need space
lost in your sky
I couldn't see
chasin the high
of your galaxy
as you spin away
Ive tried to break this orbit
I'm tired of waiting for it
the bright side
to come back around
you don't see me now
I won't shine til I come down
I'm just another satellite in your sky
I'm just another satellite in your sky
you let me in
closer than most
then once you did
you let me go
almost but not quite
I'm still out here
reaching for you
invisible mirror
just like the moon
waiting for the night
Ive tried to break this orbit
I'm tired of waiting for it
the bright side
to come back around
you don't see me now
I won't shine til I come down
I'm just another satellite in your sky
I'm just another satellite in your sky
still sorry
someone asked me yesterday
was there ever one who got away
and I been thinkin bout you since
wonderin all that might've been
if I wasn't so afraid
and I got all these rules I never break
I tend to mean the things I never say
and i never told you how I felt
for the sake of someone else
and I let you slip away
if I could take back that time
if I could wake up and find myself back where I had a road to choose
I'd follow you
I should have made up my mind
I should have left him behind
instead of fighting
for something so wrong
now you're gone and I'm still sorry
lookin back I see you watchin me
tryin to figure out if I would leave
I stood there proud on sinkin sand
talkin bout my best laid plans
til you gave up on me
if I could take back that time
if I could wake up and find myself back where I had a road to choose
I'd follow you
I should have made up my mind
I should have left him behind
instead of fighting
for something so wrong
now you're gone and I'm still sorry
taken
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt, 2008
and so i sit here thinking
you’re really sinking in
i can taste you in my mouth
i can feel you on my skin
i walk outside it’s raining
what sense in feigning sleep
cuz all i’d do is see your eyes
what have you done to me
and all around
i see these faces finding mine
i hear the sound
of something pulling me aside
my heart glows small and still and strong
nothing makes me feel this gone
and this real
i’m taken
wakin up i stay in bed
i press my head to yours
you’re still not here but there you are
it doesn’t matter any more
the clock insists it’s 3 am
i have no when but now
something is missing in me
what have you taken out
and all around
i see these faces wasting time
i laugh aloud
and none of them can tell me why
the crowded hallways of my dreams
are drowning out the miles between
and i know
i’m taken
you’re breakin me
and takin all the pieces for your own
stranger things
have happened i believe but i don’t know
cause here i am
standing by myself and not alone
(verse)
your face the way i left you
is burned into my screen
i stare until the light goes out
i can almost hear you breathe
the room has turned to darkness
i try and start this song
and sit here in another plane
while the night outside goes on
the conduit
Alicia Witt, 2017
oh god i get it now
the pieces fall dreamless to dust
in this moment i know you'd laugh at me so hard
what was i thinking of
and so it never was
still it was all meant to be
i waited so long for you to be fearless
but you knew one day i'd see
you're not the earth or the sky or my
constellation
you're not the one for all time or my
destination
you're not the love of my life
you're the love that set me free
i'm finally on to it
you are the conduit
and all that time i spent
too hung up on you to see straight
you stayed and waited
oh is this the ending
you didn't wanna give away
and you're inscrutable
but it was mutual
the usual which came first
still i went tumbling down your tunnel
and you remained on solid earth
the other girl
Alicia Witt , 2010
i wanna be the girl who dances
the one whos called and never answers
i wanna take you down like a tidal wave
i wanna live inside your freedom
go home late and leave you needin
i wanna ride your fever til it breaks
and you’re the boy they all adore
you always get your way
they go in and out your door
and then you walk away
i wanna be the other girl
i wanna be the one you never leave
i wanna be the other girl
i wanna be your sweetest mystery
i wanna stay and rock your world
in a way that no one else can do
they’ll come and go you know i wont
i wanna be the other girl to you
don’t get me wrong you drive me crazy
its getting hard to keep behaving
but i can be good when i got so much to lose
haven’t we both got toys enough thru
all of the girls and boys i love you
so many ways i don’t wanna choose
and there’s nothing we cant talk about
i think my heart would break
if you ever started treating me
like just another game
theme from 'pasadena' (you can go home) feat. ben folds
music by ben folds, lyrics by alicia witt - 2013
and for the falling stars
the broken hearts
mansions in your mind
and all the roads that were lost
the signs you missed
turns that passed you by
maybe it's not too late
to find your way
it's not your place to say
what if you can-
you can go home again
what if the cards you thought
were stacked against you
never knew your name
what if you're seeing it wrong
and nothing was lost
we all have to make mistakes
you can retrace the steps
you took that led
you back to where you came
what if you can
you can go home again
you can go home - again
you can go home - again
you can go home - again
and tho you lost your way
it's not too late
god knows you damn well tried
and all the stones you tossed
they're ripples now
waves you left behind
they're leading you back
you can go home again
you can go home again
you can go home again
there is no someday
music and lyrics by Alicia Witt, 2012
Fairy tales are made for children
no one cares if london's burnin
Down around you rainin pots of gold
even rainbows end and move along
The knight in shining armor strong
Goes weak and drops you in the road
And here you come again
To reach beneath my pillow
Save your penny I already know
There is no someday
There is no once upon a time
There is no one day
There is no when the stars align
There is no wait and see
No maybe we can try another way
Our happy end will never come
There is no someday
Make believe is fine and well when
all you need are lies you tell yourself
to make it easier to breathe
Windows don't go flyin open
Every time a doors been closed and
toads arent (really princes at your feet) princes just you wait and see
Wishes won't come true
Shooting stars don't give a damn
Just like you they're never gonna change
There is no someday
There is no once upon a time
There is no one day
There is no when the stars align
There is no wait and see
No maybe we can try another way
Our happy end will never come
There is no someday
The storm will sleep
far out at sea
the mermaids will be swimming in the sky
You'll take me in your arms and set me free
when horses grow a silver horn and fly
younger
written by Alicia Witt, Catt Gravitt and Tofer Brown
these eyes are closin in around us
these walls are holding you hostage
you're so afraid but let's be honest
it's not too late
to fade away
and disappear into the stars
above the noise
and rise the silence like a wave
you have the choice to
reveal the quiet that you're hiding in your voice
let's take the world and discover
all we used to know.... I
wanna find a way to the wonder,like
when we were younger
let's run where it says there's no running
let's break our hearts open wide
turn down the static and the buzzing
let's leave this cage
and lose our chains
and disappear into the stars
above the noise
and rise the silence like a wave
you have the choice to
reveal the quiet that you're hiding in your voice
let's take the world and discover
all we used to know.... i
wanna find a way to the wonder,like
when we were younger
(when we were...)
free to color way outside of the lines (when we were...)
seeking everything with nothing to hide (when we were...)
making up the rules we knew we could fly
let's find our way tonight
and disappear into the stars
above the noise
and rise the silence like a wave
you have the choice to
reveal the quiet that you're hiding in your voice
let's take the world and discover all we used to know.... I
wanna find a way to the wonder,like
when we were younger
