Lead Me Right lyrics - Katie Costello
Riding the Sunday tide
Feeling the heavy sigh
Of another week past
Without a photo to keep
My memories bleed to ink
And I’m feeling like a ghost
And I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I know my dreaming will always lead me right
And I’ve got nothing to show
For all the days gone so slow
My dreams are feeling far away
Drinking in the light
Pouring through the sky
I’m holding on to what feels right
And I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I know my dreaming will always lead me right
And I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I see where my heart was leading me all along
I’ll trust you
Follow your every beat
No you’ve never led me
No you’ve never led me
Away from the things I’ve tried to keep
I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I know my dreaming will always lead me right
I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I see where my heart was leading me all along
Feeling the heavy sigh
Of another week past
Without a photo to keep
My memories bleed to ink
And I’m feeling like a ghost
And I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I know my dreaming will always lead me right
And I’ve got nothing to show
For all the days gone so slow
My dreams are feeling far away
Drinking in the light
Pouring through the sky
I’m holding on to what feels right
And I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I know my dreaming will always lead me right
And I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I see where my heart was leading me all along
I’ll trust you
Follow your every beat
No you’ve never led me
No you’ve never led me
Away from the things I’ve tried to keep
I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I know my dreaming will always lead me right
I’m not going to wake up now
I’m not going to wake up now
I don’t want to give up now
I don’t need to give up now
I see where my heart was leading me all along
How Long lyrics - Katie Costello
I see you wondering these empty halls
Looking for something you never found inside at all
I see you running looking for fights
You’re always hunting your own shadow in the light
How long
Will it take to find your way back home
Tell me you’ll be somewhere
Tell me you’ll be something tonight
I know you’re hurting from years by yourself
Take this or leave it, everyone needs their something else
How long
Will it take to find your way back home
Tell me you’ll be somewhere
You’ll be something tonight
Tell me you’ll be something tonight
You’ll find your way back
How long
Will it take to find your way back home
Tell me you’ll be somewhere
You’ll be something tonight
Tell me you’ll be somewhere tonight
Tell me you’ll be somewhere tonight
Tell me you’ll be something tonight
Looking for something you never found inside at all
I see you running looking for fights
You’re always hunting your own shadow in the light
How long
Will it take to find your way back home
Tell me you’ll be somewhere
Tell me you’ll be something tonight
I know you’re hurting from years by yourself
Take this or leave it, everyone needs their something else
How long
Will it take to find your way back home
Tell me you’ll be somewhere
You’ll be something tonight
Tell me you’ll be something tonight
You’ll find your way back
How long
Will it take to find your way back home
Tell me you’ll be somewhere
You’ll be something tonight
Tell me you’ll be somewhere tonight
Tell me you’ll be somewhere tonight
Tell me you’ll be something tonight
Lay Low lyrics - Katie Costello
She looked at her life and it wasn’t perfect
She looked at her strife and it wasn’t worth it
Wasted the days away
Sitting from up above, she began to smile
Little green and brown squares for miles and miles
For miles and miles
She has always been away, somewhere sleepwalking
Lay low and find the truth far below the surface
Lay low and search for gold amidst the worst of it
Lay low, lay low
She ran through her life and the rush felt perfect
She ran through the years and the pain was worth it
Wasted all her fears, she has disappeared
She has always been away, some where sleepwalking
Lay low and find the truth far below the surface
Lay low and search for gold amidst the worst of it
Lay low, lay low
She looked at her strife and it wasn’t worth it
Wasted the days away
Sitting from up above, she began to smile
Little green and brown squares for miles and miles
For miles and miles
She has always been away, somewhere sleepwalking
Lay low and find the truth far below the surface
Lay low and search for gold amidst the worst of it
Lay low, lay low
She ran through her life and the rush felt perfect
She ran through the years and the pain was worth it
Wasted all her fears, she has disappeared
She has always been away, some where sleepwalking
Lay low and find the truth far below the surface
Lay low and search for gold amidst the worst of it
Lay low, lay low
Fireflies lyrics - Katie Costello
Didn’t think I’d be the last one
Didn’t know I’d see the story end
Didn’t think the earth was made of paper
But now I’m standing in a mess of shreds
How can I keep on
When everything is so far gone
When there’s nothing left to find or figure out
Planets float in space like fireflies in doubt
Now the tides are turning
And I’m the only one at sea
Didn’t think the rumors could be something
Didn’t know the earth would be scorched to the bone
Didn’t think my life was worth living
But now I’m fighting for one last moment to hold
How can I keep on
When everyone is so far gone
When there’s nothing left to find or figure out
Planets float in space like fireflies in doubt
When there’s nothing left to find or figure out
Planets float in space like fireflies in doubt
Now the tides are turning
And I’m the only one at sea
It’s just me
Everything Has Its Way lyrics
Looking for the line that divides the earth in two
The seam is in the ground, it goes down to the roots
We all come from the same place but that’s not the way it ends
Looking for the thread that started in our heads
Everything has its way my friend
Everything has its way again
Finding missing stones that will ease the river bed
The weight is in your hands, there’s weight in what is said
Take away the glass and there’s a window to the wind
Take away the night and there’s a day without an end
Everything has its way my friend
Everything has its way again
Everything has its way my friend
Everything has its way again
And we’re going and we’re moving with the wind
There’s no stopping once the world takes its spin
And we’re going and we’re moving with the wind
There’s no stopping once the world takes its spin
Everything has its way my friend
Everything has its way again
Take away the moon and the sun won’t seem to shine
Take away the beat and the heart can’t be defined
Cassette Tape lyrics - Katie Costello
I hate talking and I hate walking next to someone I don't know
Someone I don't know
I hate pretending to keep up this friend thing
When I have enough friends and I'd rather be at home
Things would be much easier
And it would really save some time
If you knew my favorite color
And my favorite kind of pie
I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
I hate been picky but right now you don't get me
But in time I think you will and I know you won't until
You listen very closely to the tape and mostly
You will see how I've become someone I hope you'll know and love
Things would be much easier
And it would really save some time
If you knew my favorite color
And my favorite kind of pie
I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
My good friends know that I've never tried a boysenberry
My good friends know that in the wintertime my legs are hairy
My good friends know that I never understood chemistry
My good friends know that I never date people who know less than me
But you don't know and we're not getting any younger
But you don't know and telling you would just take longer
I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
Someone I don't know
I hate pretending to keep up this friend thing
When I have enough friends and I'd rather be at home
Things would be much easier
And it would really save some time
If you knew my favorite color
And my favorite kind of pie
I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
I hate been picky but right now you don't get me
But in time I think you will and I know you won't until
You listen very closely to the tape and mostly
You will see how I've become someone I hope you'll know and love
Things would be much easier
And it would really save some time
If you knew my favorite color
And my favorite kind of pie
I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
My good friends know that I've never tried a boysenberry
My good friends know that in the wintertime my legs are hairy
My good friends know that I never understood chemistry
My good friends know that I never date people who know less than me
But you don't know and we're not getting any younger
But you don't know and telling you would just take longer
I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
Ashes Ashes lyrics - Katie Costello
The sun is bleeding and the ash is snowing
In the distance the fire is growing
The trees are shrinking and your heart is sinking
Yet you've never felt more alive
Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear
And when I didn't know I could be the very same person I want to be
With the sun as red as it wants to be
The smoke is all consuming, the air of sadness looming
Orange and red lick up the sky
Your footprints pick up dust mites and you might not always feel right
Yet you know you're alive
Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear
And when I didn't know I could be the very same person I want to be
With the sun as red as it wants to be
Ashes, ashes we fall and float away
Ashes, ashes come take my fears away
Ashes, ashes we fall and float away
Ashes, ashes come take my fears away
Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear
And when I didn't know I could be the very same person I want to be
With the sun as red as it wants to be
Ashes, ashes we fall and float away
Ashes, ashes you've taken my fears away
Ashes, Ashes you're but a memory
Of that not-so-gray day
In the distance the fire is growing
The trees are shrinking and your heart is sinking
Yet you've never felt more alive
Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear
And when I didn't know I could be the very same person I want to be
With the sun as red as it wants to be
The smoke is all consuming, the air of sadness looming
Orange and red lick up the sky
Your footprints pick up dust mites and you might not always feel right
Yet you know you're alive
Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear
And when I didn't know I could be the very same person I want to be
With the sun as red as it wants to be
Ashes, ashes we fall and float away
Ashes, ashes come take my fears away
Ashes, ashes we fall and float away
Ashes, ashes come take my fears away
Bloody sunset you remind me of when the clouds hung in fear
And when I didn't know I could be the very same person I want to be
With the sun as red as it wants to be
Ashes, ashes we fall and float away
Ashes, ashes you've taken my fears away
Ashes, Ashes you're but a memory
Of that not-so-gray day
After Dark lyrics - Katie Costello
Writing a letter to you like you're a foreign pen pal
Talking to you like I've never not known you
Smiling at you with my heart nailed shut
Time-induced-healing has not been enough
I swear you'd always need me
I swear you'd always see me
As the same blood that runs through your veins
Don't come looking for me after dark
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Roots of the ancient tree have changed
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same
Hanging photo examples of golden moments
Your memory left in pages I wrote things down
Fizzy telephone calls generous to silence
Empty spaces and forgotten traces of you
I swear you'd always need me
I swear you'd always see me
As the same blood that runs through your veins
Don't come looking for me after dark
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Roots of the ancient tree have changed
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same
You're not dead to me because you'll never be
You're as close to gone as distance will allow
Though that might seem fine, you're gone all the time
Don't come looking for me after dark
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Roots of the family tree are gone
It seems so wrong but I can't force someone to change
Don't come looking for me after dark
Don't come looking for me after dark
Don't come looking for me after dark
Talking to you like I've never not known you
Smiling at you with my heart nailed shut
Time-induced-healing has not been enough
I swear you'd always need me
I swear you'd always see me
As the same blood that runs through your veins
Don't come looking for me after dark
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Roots of the ancient tree have changed
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same
Hanging photo examples of golden moments
Your memory left in pages I wrote things down
Fizzy telephone calls generous to silence
Empty spaces and forgotten traces of you
I swear you'd always need me
I swear you'd always see me
As the same blood that runs through your veins
Don't come looking for me after dark
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Roots of the ancient tree have changed
I can't make out your face and what you're saying sounds the same
You're not dead to me because you'll never be
You're as close to gone as distance will allow
Though that might seem fine, you're gone all the time
Don't come looking for me after dark
I cannot bear to see your footsteps leading nowhere
Roots of the family tree are gone
It seems so wrong but I can't force someone to change
Don't come looking for me after dark
Don't come looking for me after dark
Don't come looking for me after dark
No Shelter lyrics - Katie Costello
Where do we lose ourselves in the winter months?
Where do we find ourselves when there's no shelter for us?
How can we cry when there's no way to make amends?
How can we fight when there's no lesson in the end?
You just tell yourself there's something to be found
Beneath that molten rock buried deep underground
When the cold is coming, you're stuck in the shade
And there's no one left to blame
Where do we go when all the birds have gone north?
Where do we stay when the snow has taken over us?
How can we scream when there's no way to make amends?
How can we lie when there's no lesson in the end?
You just tell yourself there's something to be found
Beneath that molten rock buried deep underground
When the cold is coming, you're stuck in the shade
And there's no one left to blame
I'm going somewhere where I know I can stay
I'm going somewhere where I feel a better, a better change
You just tell yourself there's something to be found
Beneath that molten rock buried deep underground
When the cold is coming, you're stuck in the shade
Though there's no one else around
Though there's no one else around
Though there's no one else around
Where do we find ourselves when there's no shelter for us?
How can we cry when there's no way to make amends?
How can we fight when there's no lesson in the end?
You just tell yourself there's something to be found
Beneath that molten rock buried deep underground
When the cold is coming, you're stuck in the shade
And there's no one left to blame
Where do we go when all the birds have gone north?
Where do we stay when the snow has taken over us?
How can we scream when there's no way to make amends?
How can we lie when there's no lesson in the end?
You just tell yourself there's something to be found
Beneath that molten rock buried deep underground
When the cold is coming, you're stuck in the shade
And there's no one left to blame
I'm going somewhere where I know I can stay
I'm going somewhere where I feel a better, a better change
You just tell yourself there's something to be found
Beneath that molten rock buried deep underground
When the cold is coming, you're stuck in the shade
Though there's no one else around
Though there's no one else around
Though there's no one else around
Despite Time lyrics - Katie Costello
Will we ever really reach the moon?
Will we ever really march to the seashore?
Will we ever really break down walls that feel wrong?
Will we ever really come to terms with those bombs?
It's hard to say
Our past might have never come
The way it seems today, the way it seems today
Everything seems so far away when
Nothing appears the way it did then
Discover a photo of the night sky
Thankfully the stars do align
Despite time
Will we ever really befriend our demons?
Will we ever really pick apart the Milky Way?
Will we ever really sky-scrape toward heaven?
Will we ever really fight to forbid fear?
It's hard to say
Our past might have never come
The way it seems today, the way it seems today
Everything seems so far away when
Nothing appears the way it did then
Discover a photo of the night sky
Thankfully the stars do align
Despite time
Climbing through the ocean
Nothing can be held on to
Navigating skywards
Stars do not hold anchors
Nothing left to conquer
We are all that can see blue
We are all that can feel blue
Will we ever really leave the earth and reach the moon?
Will we ever really march to the seashore?
Will we ever really break down walls that feel wrong?
Will we ever really come to terms with those bombs?
It's hard to say
Our past might have never come
The way it seems today, the way it seems today
Everything seems so far away when
Nothing appears the way it did then
Discover a photo of the night sky
Thankfully the stars do align
Despite time
Will we ever really befriend our demons?
Will we ever really pick apart the Milky Way?
Will we ever really sky-scrape toward heaven?
Will we ever really fight to forbid fear?
It's hard to say
Our past might have never come
The way it seems today, the way it seems today
Everything seems so far away when
Nothing appears the way it did then
Discover a photo of the night sky
Thankfully the stars do align
Despite time
Climbing through the ocean
Nothing can be held on to
Navigating skywards
Stars do not hold anchors
Nothing left to conquer
We are all that can see blue
We are all that can feel blue
Will we ever really leave the earth and reach the moon?
Out Of Our Minds lyrics - Katie Costello
I can't go to sleep tonight
Because the thought of darkness makes me feel alive
I can't find a way to dream
When I'm thinking about everything
I think I'll be happier if I turn my brain off
Until the morning stirs
I think I will find a day
When all this noise will help me sink away
My mind is running away with my sleep tonight
My mind is running away with my sleep tonight
Let's get out of our minds today
And take a little time to look at the stars and the moon above
Wishing someone like you
Was staring at them too
I can see my shadowed mirrors
Reflecting all my deepest darkest fears
I think home will fix this mess
A bed of my own makes it worth the stress
My mind is running away with my sleep tonight
My mind is running away with my sleep tonight
Let's get out of our minds today
And take a little time to look at the stars and the moon above
Wishing someone like you
Was staring at them too
It's a long shot to not think that we're alone
But it's not far off to know someone else is here and there and home
It's a long shot to not think that we're alone
But it's not far off to know someone else is here and there and home
Let's get out of our minds today
And take a little time to look at the stars and the moon above
Wishing someone like you
Was staring at them too
Fading Lately lyrics - Katie Costello
I've been finding reasons
To tell myself that I'm not really here or there much
I've been making scrapbooks
Of all the places I would like to go when I'm home
And I've got ways to disappear
And now I can't find my way out of here
Am I really here?
I don't know where I've been lately
All I see is myself fading
I don't know who I've been lately
All I see is this place fading
I've been playing dress up
Trying to find a sweater that makes sense, given the climate
I've been wearing glasses
To let myself see the blurry mess, that I've yet to relate with
And I've got ways to disappear
And now I can't find my way out of here
Am I really here?
I don't know where I've been lately
All I see is myself fading
I don't know who I've been lately
All I see is this place fading
I just need to watch some TV
To get a better sense of what I shouldn't be
I didn't use breadcrumbs and now I'm stuck in this place
I left my compass at home and now I can't find my way
I just didn't, I just need, and now I can't find my way
I don't know where I've been lately
Everything has changed vaguely
I don't know who I've been lately
All I see is this place fading
I don't know where I've been lately
All I see is myself fading
To tell myself that I'm not really here or there much
I've been making scrapbooks
Of all the places I would like to go when I'm home
And I've got ways to disappear
And now I can't find my way out of here
Am I really here?
I don't know where I've been lately
All I see is myself fading
I don't know who I've been lately
All I see is this place fading
I've been playing dress up
Trying to find a sweater that makes sense, given the climate
I've been wearing glasses
To let myself see the blurry mess, that I've yet to relate with
And I've got ways to disappear
And now I can't find my way out of here
Am I really here?
I don't know where I've been lately
All I see is myself fading
I don't know who I've been lately
All I see is this place fading
I just need to watch some TV
To get a better sense of what I shouldn't be
I didn't use breadcrumbs and now I'm stuck in this place
I left my compass at home and now I can't find my way
I just didn't, I just need, and now I can't find my way
I don't know where I've been lately
Everything has changed vaguely
I don't know who I've been lately
All I see is this place fading
I don't know where I've been lately
All I see is myself fading
Dig A Hole lyrics - Katie Costello
I'm beginning to feel like an empty shell
With nothing to embrace and nothing to expel
I'm beginning to feel like a very crumbly street
With nowhere to go and no place for you feet
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know
Isn't this house really a box?
Isn't this life really a hole?
In this day to day feeling of static-fearful-thinking,
Am I really alone?
So let's dig a hole where we can build a home,
Where the previous feeling of static-fearful-thinking
Can leave us all alone
I'm beginning to feel like a very wounded heart
Not because of lost love but because it's career has yet to start
I'm beginning to feel like a paralyzed pendulum
Hanging like a body with no momentum
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know
Isn't this house really a box?
Isn't this life really a hole?
In this day to day feeling of static-fearful-thinking,
Am I really alone?
So let's dig a hole where we can build a home,
Where the previous feeling of static-fearful-thinking
Can leave us all alone
I will sleep tonight
I'll lay my head down and tell myself goodnight
I will be alright
Because even nightmares can't keep me up all night
Isn't this house really a box?
Isn't this life really a hole?
In this day to day feeling of static-fearful-thinking,
Am I really alone?
So let's dig a hole where we can build a home,
Where the previous feeling of static-fearful-thinking
Can leave us all alone
I'm beginning to feel like
I just don't know anymore
With nothing to embrace and nothing to expel
I'm beginning to feel like a very crumbly street
With nowhere to go and no place for you feet
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know
Isn't this house really a box?
Isn't this life really a hole?
In this day to day feeling of static-fearful-thinking,
Am I really alone?
So let's dig a hole where we can build a home,
Where the previous feeling of static-fearful-thinking
Can leave us all alone
I'm beginning to feel like a very wounded heart
Not because of lost love but because it's career has yet to start
I'm beginning to feel like a paralyzed pendulum
Hanging like a body with no momentum
I just don't know anymore
I just don't know
Isn't this house really a box?
Isn't this life really a hole?
In this day to day feeling of static-fearful-thinking,
Am I really alone?
So let's dig a hole where we can build a home,
Where the previous feeling of static-fearful-thinking
Can leave us all alone
I will sleep tonight
I'll lay my head down and tell myself goodnight
I will be alright
Because even nightmares can't keep me up all night
Isn't this house really a box?
Isn't this life really a hole?
In this day to day feeling of static-fearful-thinking,
Am I really alone?
So let's dig a hole where we can build a home,
Where the previous feeling of static-fearful-thinking
Can leave us all alone
I'm beginning to feel like
I just don't know anymore
Old Owl lyrics - Katie Costello
You are one hundred thousand years old
You know everything ever been told
You can map the globe in a millisecond, can't you?
You are five thousand leagues under the sea
You see everything in sight
You don't need binoculars; you have your eyes
If you had hope would you feel stronger?
If you knew how would you sleep longer?
If you did not fear what you fear most,
Would you feel anything at all?
Would you see anything all?
Would you feel anything at all?
You are an old owl sitting in the treetops
Looking at the housetops, you are in the know
Watching newcomers come and go, come and go
You are all alone, cooped up inside
Cold by the fireplace's haunting gold size
You are dwarfed by your own self-loathing, ambitious tendencies
If you had hope would you feel stronger?
If you knew how would you sleep longer?
If you did not fear what you fear most,
Would you feel anything at all?
Would you see anything all?
Would you feel anything at all?
We all hide from our minds
When the lamplight goes out and dims
We all try to de-rust the hinges squeaking deep inside
Rest now while you're still alive
You will rest more in the afterlife
I can't catch you, and you don't want me to
You read those books all alone
Looking for the home you never owned
You can be whatever you need to be
Don't let that bomb explode, like in the Twilight Zone
Your glasses are still intact, you know
You know everything ever been told
You can map the globe in a millisecond, can't you?
You are five thousand leagues under the sea
You see everything in sight
You don't need binoculars; you have your eyes
If you had hope would you feel stronger?
If you knew how would you sleep longer?
If you did not fear what you fear most,
Would you feel anything at all?
Would you see anything all?
Would you feel anything at all?
You are an old owl sitting in the treetops
Looking at the housetops, you are in the know
Watching newcomers come and go, come and go
You are all alone, cooped up inside
Cold by the fireplace's haunting gold size
You are dwarfed by your own self-loathing, ambitious tendencies
If you had hope would you feel stronger?
If you knew how would you sleep longer?
If you did not fear what you fear most,
Would you feel anything at all?
Would you see anything all?
Would you feel anything at all?
We all hide from our minds
When the lamplight goes out and dims
We all try to de-rust the hinges squeaking deep inside
Rest now while you're still alive
You will rest more in the afterlife
I can't catch you, and you don't want me to
You read those books all alone
Looking for the home you never owned
You can be whatever you need to be
Don't let that bomb explode, like in the Twilight Zone
Your glasses are still intact, you know
People: A Theory lyrics - Katie Costello
People can be mean and people can be nice
People can be any single way you'd like
People can be meaner, people can be greener
Than you'd ever thought you'd know
Paris or London or New York or Mars
People can be any single way they are
Wherever you go you just have know
People can be mean or nice
Float far away from all the lights and the paint
Makeup and curtain and stage
Away from what you think you are
Away from who you think you are
Away from all the burnt down sights
Away from all the sunken kites
People can be big and people can be small
People can be any single shape at all
People can be richer, people can be slicker
Than you'd ever thought you'd know
Dumpsters or mansions or boxes or barns
Everybody lives underneath the stars
Wherever you go you just have know
People can be real or molds of steel
Float far away from all the lights and the paint
Makeup and curtain and stage
Away from what you think you are
Away from who you think you are
Away from all the burnt down sights
Away from all the sunken kites
Float like a cloud in the stratosphere
Float like a bubble in the mesosphere
Float like a seahorse in the troposphere
Float like whatever you are
As long as you're in the atmosphere
People can be any single way you'd like
People can be meaner, people can be greener
Than you'd ever thought you'd know
Paris or London or New York or Mars
People can be any single way they are
Wherever you go you just have know
People can be mean or nice
Float far away from all the lights and the paint
Makeup and curtain and stage
Away from what you think you are
Away from who you think you are
Away from all the burnt down sights
Away from all the sunken kites
People can be big and people can be small
People can be any single shape at all
People can be richer, people can be slicker
Than you'd ever thought you'd know
Dumpsters or mansions or boxes or barns
Everybody lives underneath the stars
Wherever you go you just have know
People can be real or molds of steel
Float far away from all the lights and the paint
Makeup and curtain and stage
Away from what you think you are
Away from who you think you are
Away from all the burnt down sights
Away from all the sunken kites
Float like a cloud in the stratosphere
Float like a bubble in the mesosphere
Float like a seahorse in the troposphere
Float like whatever you are
As long as you're in the atmosphere
The Weirds lyrics - Katie Costello
Tiny raindrops salute gravity
The pavement smells like the taste of blood
I need to get out of here - even the trees are gilded
Smiles ooze of depression with no creative perks
I've overstayed my welcome in this life
And it seems as though time won't tell you exactly what you'd like
I've given up on waving off the flies that have blackened my mind -
My sugarcoated mind
Why can't I whistle? And why can't I cry?
Why can't I be the way I wish I liked?
I guess I have The Weirds
Which truth is true? And which real is real?
Why must we whistle to what we cannot feel?
I guess I have The Weirds, oh I have them bad, and it's so sad
Starring contests with eggshell-tinted walls
It's all that seems productive - you'd be surprised
Procrastination Nation is where I've learned to live
Turn on the tube, romanticized until you can't move
I've overstayed my welcome in this life
And it seems as though time won't tell you exactly what you'd like
I've given up on waving off the flies that have blackened my mind -
My sugarcoated mind
Why can't I whistle? And why can't I cry?
Why can't I love you the way I wish I liked?
I guess I have The Weirds
Which truth is true? And which real is real?
Why must we whistle to what we cannot feel?
I guess I have The Weirds, oh I have them bad, and it's so sad
Why can't I whistle? And why can't I cry?
Why can't I love you more than what I'd like?
I guess I have The Weirds, oh I have them bad, and it's so sad
Prisoner of the mind, trapped within the confines
Of self expectation, of obligation -
I guess I'll be just fine
Stranger lyrics - Katie Costello
Stranger I've known you for so long
I found you lost with a compass in the fog
Stranger you know me too much
Illusionary-self had not be touched, until you
Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Stranger you've followed me so far
Until the roads converged, as did the stars
Stranger the moon looks blue tonight
Your photo framed, raw within my mind, but not tonight
Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall
Hallelujah
I found you lost with a compass in the fog
Stranger you know me too much
Illusionary-self had not be touched, until you
Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Stranger you've followed me so far
Until the roads converged, as did the stars
Stranger the moon looks blue tonight
Your photo framed, raw within my mind, but not tonight
Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Humming Hallelujah in the dark
Whispered poems leave you to be
Humming Hallelujah in the night
The sun might rise, as sometimes does it fall
Hallelujah
We Are The Way We Are lyrics - Katie Costello
We are gray like the sidewalks, old like the sidewalks, wiser now
We are tall like the buildings, strong like the buildings, skyward bound
Who am I to be?
Anything other than the city in me?
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
We ran away from where we couldn't stay
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
Who would I be without this city beneath my feet?
We grow green like the tree's here, we'll always be here
With or without leaves
Let's travel deep like the subway, far like the subway,
Far away from what we know
Who am I to be?
Anything other than the city in me?
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
We ran away from where we couldn't stay
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
Who would I be without this city beneath my feet?
Come here, towards all the bright lights, I'll be your night light, trust me
Don't go, don't let yourself down, know that right now, this is all yours
We are tall like the buildings, strong like the buildings, skyward bound
Who am I to be?
Anything other than the city in me?
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
We ran away from where we couldn't stay
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
Who would I be without this city beneath my feet?
We grow green like the tree's here, we'll always be here
With or without leaves
Let's travel deep like the subway, far like the subway,
Far away from what we know
Who am I to be?
Anything other than the city in me?
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
We ran away from where we couldn't stay
We are the way we are
We are the way we are
Who would I be without this city beneath my feet?
Come here, towards all the bright lights, I'll be your night light, trust me
Don't go, don't let yourself down, know that right now, this is all yours
Lost & Far From Home lyrics - Katie Costello
With her head on her pillow and her pain tucked under the sheets
Music playing softly without a steady beat
The TV flickers flames of color; it ignites the room
A black and white face, the colors escape, her heartache
She ran away, so far away
That the streets were no longer paved with lines
The soles of her feet weren't as tough as she claimed them to be
She wiped her eyes, it was no surprise
That she was lost and far from home, strange unfamiliar signs
Little to coincide, however she packed her bags and made her way
Anywhere her feet could take her
With her arm around her keepsakes and her mind on her mistakes
She climbed a hill - one of a kind, numb to her step, she had to accept
Changed scenery, it was now clear to see torn petals on a flower of her past
Memories she hoped wouldn't last
She ran away, so far away
That the streets were no longer paved with lines
The sole of her feet weren't as tough as she claimed them to be
She wiped her eyes, it was no surprise
That she was lost and far from home, strange unfamiliar signs
Little to coincide, however she packed her bags and made her way
Anywhere her feet could take her
With her head on her pillow and her pain tucked under the sheets
Music playing softly without a steady beat, without a steady beat
Music playing softly without a steady beat
The TV flickers flames of color; it ignites the room
A black and white face, the colors escape, her heartache
She ran away, so far away
That the streets were no longer paved with lines
The soles of her feet weren't as tough as she claimed them to be
She wiped her eyes, it was no surprise
That she was lost and far from home, strange unfamiliar signs
Little to coincide, however she packed her bags and made her way
Anywhere her feet could take her
With her arm around her keepsakes and her mind on her mistakes
She climbed a hill - one of a kind, numb to her step, she had to accept
Changed scenery, it was now clear to see torn petals on a flower of her past
Memories she hoped wouldn't last
She ran away, so far away
That the streets were no longer paved with lines
The sole of her feet weren't as tough as she claimed them to be
She wiped her eyes, it was no surprise
That she was lost and far from home, strange unfamiliar signs
Little to coincide, however she packed her bags and made her way
Anywhere her feet could take her
With her head on her pillow and her pain tucked under the sheets
Music playing softly without a steady beat, without a steady beat
Cityscapes lyrics - Katie Costello
Cityscape, I want to escape, take me to the root of your light
Cityscape, forever engraved, stuck in time, stuck inside my mind
And how, did you ever get so bright?
And how, did you soar so very high?
When did I not love you?
When did I not know you?
You make me better than I could be
I'm bursting at my seams
Cityscape, I know I'm home when I see your skyline in the night
Cityscape, you've let me see, that I'm my home wherever I shall be
And how, have you taken all my fears?
And how, have you made everything seem clear?
When did I not love you?
When did I not know you?
You make me better than I could be
I'm bursting at my seams
Cityscape, you're more than a place, you're part of everything that I am
Cityscape, you make me chase, you make me follow everything I can
Cityscape, forever engraved, stuck in time, stuck inside my mind
And how, did you ever get so bright?
And how, did you soar so very high?
When did I not love you?
When did I not know you?
You make me better than I could be
I'm bursting at my seams
Cityscape, I know I'm home when I see your skyline in the night
Cityscape, you've let me see, that I'm my home wherever I shall be
And how, have you taken all my fears?
And how, have you made everything seem clear?
When did I not love you?
When did I not know you?
You make me better than I could be
I'm bursting at my seams
Cityscape, you're more than a place, you're part of everything that I am
Cityscape, you make me chase, you make me follow everything I can
Ships In The Night lyrics - Katie Costello
I'm finding farewell is the word I won't say, at the risk of being what it is
I'm finding so long is what took so long to finally utter with strength
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
You're so far away, I don't know what that means; It's finally dawned upon me
I couldn't hold on to what's moving on; We've passed like ships in the night
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
I will haunt you, haunt you
I will never feel you gone
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
I'm finding so long is what took so long to finally utter with strength
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
You're so far away, I don't know what that means; It's finally dawned upon me
I couldn't hold on to what's moving on; We've passed like ships in the night
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
I will haunt you, haunt you
I will never feel you gone
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
I can't be what I need
And I can't treat you right
Nothing lasts forever
But this, my friend, won't pass in the night
And this, my friend, is still a goodbye
How Do We Know lyrics - Katie Costello
I want to make this concrete
I want to make this firm
I want to decide something
But I'm scared of what I'll learn
I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself
I might as well get out of town or hire someone else
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
I want it all right now
All the answers at my door
I know it's wishful thinking
But I still want more
I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself
I might as well get out of town or hire someone else
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
We can't go back in time
That's why we think about it day and night
That's why we think about it day and night
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
I will decide something
Another lesson learned
I will write it down
So the memory doesn't burn
I want to make this firm
I want to decide something
But I'm scared of what I'll learn
I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself
I might as well get out of town or hire someone else
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
I want it all right now
All the answers at my door
I know it's wishful thinking
But I still want more
I don't know that I've been the best boss of myself
I might as well get out of town or hire someone else
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
We can't go back in time
That's why we think about it day and night
That's why we think about it day and night
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
How do we know when it's all going to work
How do we know when being away from home
Makes us stronger, yet I will not stay a moment longer
I will decide something
Another lesson learned
I will write it down
So the memory doesn't burn
Anywhere Place lyrics - Katie Costello
Tell me a story that consists of more than once upon a time the end
Staring that same familiar friend
Sing me a song that I can hum upstairs and back
That can live in my mind, maybe for all time
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place
Walk with me somewhere where I can run until no end
Hands held tight and no one is looking for me this night
Look with me someplace where the sky is as endless as the rhythm of the sea,
It rhymes in ecstasy
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place
Now that the trees are gone and the water is cool
I'll go back where I can find what's true
Where it isn't grey, where I can stay
An anywhere place
Tell me a story that consists of more than once upon a time the end
Staring that same familiar friend
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place, oh
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place
Oh no
Staring that same familiar friend
Sing me a song that I can hum upstairs and back
That can live in my mind, maybe for all time
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place
Walk with me somewhere where I can run until no end
Hands held tight and no one is looking for me this night
Look with me someplace where the sky is as endless as the rhythm of the sea,
It rhymes in ecstasy
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place
Now that the trees are gone and the water is cool
I'll go back where I can find what's true
Where it isn't grey, where I can stay
An anywhere place
Tell me a story that consists of more than once upon a time the end
Staring that same familiar friend
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place, oh
I don't need a wall or face
I just need a place
I can call and name my own
My anywhere place
My anywhere place
Oh no
Songbird lyrics - Katie Costello
I've been told by many books and things
That I can read minds and I agree, at least in my dreams
I've been yelled at by many road-ragers
Making love to their coffee and pagers now, heading down south
The lark was humming and softly I kept drumming
And the world was in rhyme and it made sense for a short time
In this little tune about the old kazoo
Songbird, Songbird, whatever bird you are
Give me your voice and your flight
Songbird I don't care if you're an old kazoo
Sing to me and I will sing to you
I've been seen to be heartbroken
Not so much a heartbreaker but an "I love you,"
And "I think you do too"
I've been known to be confused
By the colors and the shapes of our round little sphere,
On which we appeared
The lark was humming and softly I kept drumming
And the world was in rhyme and it made sense for a short time
In this little tune about the old kazoo
Songbird, Songbird, whatever bird you are
Give me your voice and your flight
Songbird I don't care if you're an old kazoo
Sing to me and I will sing to you
And then the Greek Muses and the sirens on the rocks
Told me they liked my song
And then the Greek Muses told the sirens on the rocks
Don't you dare touch those folks near those rocks
Don't you touch those folks near those rocks
Orpheus told me so
Songbird, Songbird, whatever bird you are
Give me your voice and your flight
Songbird I don't care if you're an old kazoo
Sing to me and I will sing to you
Sing to me and I will sing to you
Sing to me and I will sing to you
That I can read minds and I agree, at least in my dreams
I've been yelled at by many road-ragers
Making love to their coffee and pagers now, heading down south
The lark was humming and softly I kept drumming
And the world was in rhyme and it made sense for a short time
In this little tune about the old kazoo
Songbird, Songbird, whatever bird you are
Give me your voice and your flight
Songbird I don't care if you're an old kazoo
Sing to me and I will sing to you
I've been seen to be heartbroken
Not so much a heartbreaker but an "I love you,"
And "I think you do too"
I've been known to be confused
By the colors and the shapes of our round little sphere,
On which we appeared
The lark was humming and softly I kept drumming
And the world was in rhyme and it made sense for a short time
In this little tune about the old kazoo
Songbird, Songbird, whatever bird you are
Give me your voice and your flight
Songbird I don't care if you're an old kazoo
Sing to me and I will sing to you
And then the Greek Muses and the sirens on the rocks
Told me they liked my song
And then the Greek Muses told the sirens on the rocks
Don't you dare touch those folks near those rocks
Don't you touch those folks near those rocks
Orpheus told me so
Songbird, Songbird, whatever bird you are
Give me your voice and your flight
Songbird I don't care if you're an old kazoo
Sing to me and I will sing to you
Sing to me and I will sing to you
Sing to me and I will sing to you
Isn't It Lovely lyrics - Katie Costello
Isn't it lovely: the rhythm of the sea
That deep black blue whispers gentle melodies
Isn't it lovely: the pitter-patter of the rain
The drops fall upon your face each with it's own domain
The sky is vast with stars and it seems impossible
To find a place where there is endless amounts of time and space
But somehow...that beauty's lost in the need to -
Need to be just another symphony
Another weak beat in a worn out tune but never
Of who we are, who we need to be,
What we could do with our own simple melody
Isn't it lovely: the disposition of the trees
So peaceful as they dismiss their falling leaves
Isn't it lovely: that foggy morning rusty sun
Perched on your window sill revealing shades and hues
The sky is vast with stars and it seems impossible
To find a place where there is endless amounts of time and space
But somehow...that beauty's lost in the need to -
Need to be just another symphony
Another weak beat in a worn out tune but never
Of who we are, who we need to be,
What we could do with our own simple melody
That deep black blue whispers gentle melodies
Isn't it lovely: the pitter-patter of the rain
The drops fall upon your face each with it's own domain
The sky is vast with stars and it seems impossible
To find a place where there is endless amounts of time and space
But somehow...that beauty's lost in the need to -
Need to be just another symphony
Another weak beat in a worn out tune but never
Of who we are, who we need to be,
What we could do with our own simple melody
Isn't it lovely: the disposition of the trees
So peaceful as they dismiss their falling leaves
Isn't it lovely: that foggy morning rusty sun
Perched on your window sill revealing shades and hues
The sky is vast with stars and it seems impossible
To find a place where there is endless amounts of time and space
But somehow...that beauty's lost in the need to -
Need to be just another symphony
Another weak beat in a worn out tune but never
Of who we are, who we need to be,
What we could do with our own simple melody
Kaleidoscope Machine lyrics - Katie Costello
When the tears begin to flow
Or I stub my pinky toe
I will somehow never be alone
If I'm bitten by a dog
Or kissed by a charming frog
This will someway make it all okay
I've got something strange about me
But somehow I know
There's a song in my mind and a poem in my eyes
My Kaleidoscope Machine knows what's real
There's a beat in my heart that sets me apart
From the man in the hat who lives down the street
When my night-light starts to fail
Or the wind attacks my sails
This little thing makes it worth my while
When there's zombies at my door
I'll sing out like never before
Oh a happy melody is all I'll ever need
I've got something strange about me
But somehow I know
There's a song in my mind and a poem in my eyes
My Kaleidoscope Machine knows what's real
There's a beat in my heart that sets me apart
From the man in the hat who lives down the street
There's a song in my mind and a poem in my eyes
My Kaleidoscope Machine knows what's real
There's a beat in my heart that sets me apart
From the man in the hat who lives down the street
Or I stub my pinky toe
I will somehow never be alone
If I'm bitten by a dog
Or kissed by a charming frog
This will someway make it all okay
I've got something strange about me
But somehow I know
There's a song in my mind and a poem in my eyes
My Kaleidoscope Machine knows what's real
There's a beat in my heart that sets me apart
From the man in the hat who lives down the street
When my night-light starts to fail
Or the wind attacks my sails
This little thing makes it worth my while
When there's zombies at my door
I'll sing out like never before
Oh a happy melody is all I'll ever need
I've got something strange about me
But somehow I know
There's a song in my mind and a poem in my eyes
My Kaleidoscope Machine knows what's real
There's a beat in my heart that sets me apart
From the man in the hat who lives down the street
There's a song in my mind and a poem in my eyes
My Kaleidoscope Machine knows what's real
There's a beat in my heart that sets me apart
From the man in the hat who lives down the street
I Can't Fix Us Two lyrics - Katie Costello
Left you by the phone at half past three
Now it's quarter ‘til and you're not to be seen
Last I saw your face was ten hours gone
And suddenly you're sorry; it's my fault for giving in
You will never love the way you know
You would never love the way you show
Yet I go back to you every chance I get
No matter how soft my skin is from last time you dug real deep
My bones are shaking; I can't do this anymore
I need to stop missing you; I can't fix us two
Left you by my heart, now it's raw and red
I should've said how mad I really was
Told you how I felt, but now it's done
I go to sleep upset; I didn't tell you what I meant
You will never love the way you know
You would never love the way you show
Yet I go back to you every chance I get
No matter how soft my skin is from last time you dug real deep
My bones are shaking; I can't do this anymore
I need to stop missing you; I can't fix us two
Will we part our ways, it's hard to say
We've come too far to say we just can't stay
It seems we'll always be two
And I'll never quite get you
Yet I go back to you every chance I get
No matter how soft my skin is from last time you dug real deep
My bones are shaking; I can't do this anymore
I need to stop missing you; I can't fix us two
You will never love the way you know
You would never love the way you show
Left you by my heart, now it's raw and red
I should've said how mad I really was
Now it's quarter ‘til and you're not to be seen
Last I saw your face was ten hours gone
And suddenly you're sorry; it's my fault for giving in
You will never love the way you know
You would never love the way you show
Yet I go back to you every chance I get
No matter how soft my skin is from last time you dug real deep
My bones are shaking; I can't do this anymore
I need to stop missing you; I can't fix us two
Left you by my heart, now it's raw and red
I should've said how mad I really was
Told you how I felt, but now it's done
I go to sleep upset; I didn't tell you what I meant
You will never love the way you know
You would never love the way you show
Yet I go back to you every chance I get
No matter how soft my skin is from last time you dug real deep
My bones are shaking; I can't do this anymore
I need to stop missing you; I can't fix us two
Will we part our ways, it's hard to say
We've come too far to say we just can't stay
It seems we'll always be two
And I'll never quite get you
Yet I go back to you every chance I get
No matter how soft my skin is from last time you dug real deep
My bones are shaking; I can't do this anymore
I need to stop missing you; I can't fix us two
You will never love the way you know
You would never love the way you show
Left you by my heart, now it's raw and red
I should've said how mad I really was
Time Left Room lyrics - Katie Costello
It was just a cold day, no day for laying in the field
It was just one star, far too far that made him turn away
Bland boy, no toy to a man like yourself
He was just no one, someone who needed something else
Time left room for me to reconsider
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Time left room for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
And where that boy did go
First kiss: neither hit nor miss; it blurs from the quickness it keeps
First love: too much at once for that troubled boy to take
Blue lake, for sanity's sake he swam and dove too deep
Grey skies, green eyes - they change with the growing grass
Time left room for me to reconsider
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Time left room for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
And where that boy did go
Loss of what is so precious
Confused with the scenery
A face with no name, a place without space
It's useless, boy don't you see
Time left room for me to reconsider
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Time left room for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
And where that boy did go
No chance, no turning back, that lake is but a stream
One wish, one day for that kiss to return to those wanting lips
It was just one star, far too far that made him turn away
Bland boy, no toy to a man like yourself
He was just no one, someone who needed something else
Time left room for me to reconsider
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Time left room for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
And where that boy did go
First kiss: neither hit nor miss; it blurs from the quickness it keeps
First love: too much at once for that troubled boy to take
Blue lake, for sanity's sake he swam and dove too deep
Grey skies, green eyes - they change with the growing grass
Time left room for me to reconsider
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Time left room for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
And where that boy did go
Loss of what is so precious
Confused with the scenery
A face with no name, a place without space
It's useless, boy don't you see
Time left room for me to reconsider
What had been winter and where the grass did grow
Time left room for me to reconsider, who and what I knew
And where that boy did go
No chance, no turning back, that lake is but a stream
One wish, one day for that kiss to return to those wanting lips
Ever Since The Stork Came lyrics - Katie Costello
Ever since the stork came
We've heard of scholarly pride
And passionate drive
Every since the stork came
We've held the flag at highest highs
Looked at by dishonest eyes
And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest
We preach of good ethics and the grade A - what success
Our shells are painted gold
And our minds are rendered full
Though we have not a thought of well-being
Or what is desperately the truth
Ever since the stork came
We've known to work hard all along
Then happiness comes
Ever since the stork came
No one's seen the ways we are blind
To the walls built inside
And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest
We preach of good ethics and the grade A - what success
Our shells are painted gold
And our minds are rendered full
Though we have not a thought of well-being
Or what is desperately the truth
Far away someplace where the streets lead to both fear and love
It's okay to fail and fall, there's no formula to uphold
Laws of the unruly and standards of the seemingly wise
Dissolve beneath a stereotype's demise
Our shells are painted gold
And our minds are rendered full
Though we have not a thought of well-being
Or what is desperately the truth
We've heard of scholarly pride
And passionate drive
Every since the stork came
We've held the flag at highest highs
Looked at by dishonest eyes
And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest
We preach of good ethics and the grade A - what success
Our shells are painted gold
And our minds are rendered full
Though we have not a thought of well-being
Or what is desperately the truth
Ever since the stork came
We've known to work hard all along
Then happiness comes
Ever since the stork came
No one's seen the ways we are blind
To the walls built inside
And now that we're vacant, with a badge on our chest
We preach of good ethics and the grade A - what success
Our shells are painted gold
And our minds are rendered full
Though we have not a thought of well-being
Or what is desperately the truth
Far away someplace where the streets lead to both fear and love
It's okay to fail and fall, there's no formula to uphold
Laws of the unruly and standards of the seemingly wise
Dissolve beneath a stereotype's demise
Our shells are painted gold
And our minds are rendered full
Though we have not a thought of well-being
Or what is desperately the truth
Nobody's Perfect lyrics - Katie Costello
Nobody's perfect
Thank you for reminding me again, my friend
When we would lay with my face in your neck
I would confess there's no place I'd rather be
And I can't convince you to not make me cry
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
The moon is ripe, the stars tonight are telling me
That goodbye is the only way to say
Thank you for the memories, I guess
The trip around the clock has been real nice
When we would dance you would put my cheek next to yours
No matter the height difference
We used to say, "I love forever and I'm yours"
I wonder how much of that is true now
And I can't convince you to not make me cry
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
The moon is ripe, the stars tonight are telling me
That goodbye is the only way to say
Thank you for the memories, I guess
The trip around the clock has been real nice
And I can't convince you to not make me cry
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
Sometimes in the dead of night
When the quiet makes me forget our fights
I see your love and smile your smile
But the you I knew no longer makes me happy, sadly
The moon is ripe, the stars tonight are telling me
That goodbye is the only way to say
Thank you for the memories, I guess
The trip around the clock has been real nice
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, etc.
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
Thank you for reminding me again, my friend
When we would lay with my face in your neck
I would confess there's no place I'd rather be
And I can't convince you to not make me cry
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
The moon is ripe, the stars tonight are telling me
That goodbye is the only way to say
Thank you for the memories, I guess
The trip around the clock has been real nice
When we would dance you would put my cheek next to yours
No matter the height difference
We used to say, "I love forever and I'm yours"
I wonder how much of that is true now
And I can't convince you to not make me cry
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
The moon is ripe, the stars tonight are telling me
That goodbye is the only way to say
Thank you for the memories, I guess
The trip around the clock has been real nice
And I can't convince you to not make me cry
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
Sometimes in the dead of night
When the quiet makes me forget our fights
I see your love and smile your smile
But the you I knew no longer makes me happy, sadly
The moon is ripe, the stars tonight are telling me
That goodbye is the only way to say
Thank you for the memories, I guess
The trip around the clock has been real nice
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, etc.
And I can't convince you that I'm your guy
It's time to realize
Congratulations lyrics - Katie Costello
The boy in the gown today became a man
His future's oh-so-bright, at least it looks like
The pretty girl holds her picture in hand
Gives it to the man as she recites her lines
Why does there exist a need to be somebody do something
Whose origins are from that box we all know too well?
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
The man in the green wears a name tag
Out of fear they'll mispronounce "Larry"
The woman in the fur coat wears her lipstick strong
Mascara stained eyes hidden
Why does there exist a need to be somebody do something
Whose origins are from that box we all know too well?
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
Being happy doesn't mean being somebody
Take away the impulse to have our portrait framed
Might as well just sign me up for a fancy tomb
With my name engraved, my name engraved
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
His future's oh-so-bright, at least it looks like
The pretty girl holds her picture in hand
Gives it to the man as she recites her lines
Why does there exist a need to be somebody do something
Whose origins are from that box we all know too well?
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
The man in the green wears a name tag
Out of fear they'll mispronounce "Larry"
The woman in the fur coat wears her lipstick strong
Mascara stained eyes hidden
Why does there exist a need to be somebody do something
Whose origins are from that box we all know too well?
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
Being happy doesn't mean being somebody
Take away the impulse to have our portrait framed
Might as well just sign me up for a fancy tomb
With my name engraved, my name engraved
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
What I need is to be okay with being nobody knowing it'd be alright
What made us think that being happy came from a piece of paper that said Congratulations, Congratulations
Inside Out lyrics - Katie Costello
Just the other day as I was walking
I felt someone mimicking my steps
I jumped and fled yet however later
I found it was just a lonely silhouette
I should've stayed a little later
And cut my hair a hair more short
Made my lips real red and worn the yellow dress
Fight when all I did was turn
We're scared of the strangest things
Yet we regret them with more shame, blame, fame, we're insane
When all we need is to think, try, reach, love, live die
And is it so hard to just let go and know you're better off
Living inside out
Just the other day as I was swimming
I felt a wave rush up and take my breath
Before I could resign and drown - a mermaid
With green eyes suggested that I dive
I should've stayed a little later
And cut my hair a hair more short
Made my lips real red and worn the yellow dress
Fight when all I did was turn
We're scared of the strangest things
Yet we regret them with more shame, blame, fame, we're insane
When all we need is to think, try, reach, love, live die
And is it so hard to just let go and know you're better off
Living inside out
Break the promises and the words that surrender you to this trend
Basing what you know on your own outer skin
Try living inside out; defeat what you know
For the sake of a better mind, no outside in
We're scared of the strangest things
Yet we regret them with more shame, blame, fame, we're insane
When all we need is to think, try, reach, love, live die
And is it so hard to just let go and know you're better off
Living inside out
Living inside out
Living inside out
Living inside out
I felt someone mimicking my steps
I jumped and fled yet however later
I found it was just a lonely silhouette
I should've stayed a little later
And cut my hair a hair more short
Made my lips real red and worn the yellow dress
Fight when all I did was turn
We're scared of the strangest things
Yet we regret them with more shame, blame, fame, we're insane
When all we need is to think, try, reach, love, live die
And is it so hard to just let go and know you're better off
Living inside out
Just the other day as I was swimming
I felt a wave rush up and take my breath
Before I could resign and drown - a mermaid
With green eyes suggested that I dive
I should've stayed a little later
And cut my hair a hair more short
Made my lips real red and worn the yellow dress
Fight when all I did was turn
We're scared of the strangest things
Yet we regret them with more shame, blame, fame, we're insane
When all we need is to think, try, reach, love, live die
And is it so hard to just let go and know you're better off
Living inside out
Break the promises and the words that surrender you to this trend
Basing what you know on your own outer skin
Try living inside out; defeat what you know
For the sake of a better mind, no outside in
We're scared of the strangest things
Yet we regret them with more shame, blame, fame, we're insane
When all we need is to think, try, reach, love, live die
And is it so hard to just let go and know you're better off
Living inside out
Living inside out
Living inside out
Living inside out
Shadow Love lyrics - Katie Costello
Single wishing flower on my lawn
New freckle on the moon's face
Closed eyes saw new grace
Go to sleep blue eyes and wake me when I'm dreaming
Close your lips real tight
Let me kiss them while you're sleeping
It's fool's gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It's your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can't find your love
Let us just lay here until the record can't go ‘round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don't know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery
Something in the way you kiss me goodnight
The warm night air wraps around me tight
Something in the way the quiet room speaks
I find the music loud, that precious sound
It's fool's gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It's your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can't find your love
Let us just lay here until the record can't go ‘round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don't know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery
The streets are ours to dance in
The waves are ours to dive
The sky is for our wishing stars
Dreams so that kiss will survive
But the shadows still blind your eyes
From the love outside the lines
Of the shadowy prize
It's fool's gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It's your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can't find your love
Let us just lay here until the record can't go ‘round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don't know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery
New freckle on the moon's face
Closed eyes saw new grace
Go to sleep blue eyes and wake me when I'm dreaming
Close your lips real tight
Let me kiss them while you're sleeping
It's fool's gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It's your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can't find your love
Let us just lay here until the record can't go ‘round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don't know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery
Something in the way you kiss me goodnight
The warm night air wraps around me tight
Something in the way the quiet room speaks
I find the music loud, that precious sound
It's fool's gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It's your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can't find your love
Let us just lay here until the record can't go ‘round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don't know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery
The streets are ours to dance in
The waves are ours to dive
The sky is for our wishing stars
Dreams so that kiss will survive
But the shadows still blind your eyes
From the love outside the lines
Of the shadowy prize
It's fool's gold when you realize
Your love was a shadowy bear
It's your child, your baby, your safety
You love them when you can't find your love
Let us just lay here until the record can't go ‘round no more,
Even if the room is all but dark, those blue eyes light my own
I don't know how I know, but I need to run away from your shadow love
I forgot what was dear to me, your shadow love is treachery
City Lights lyrics - Katie Costello
City lights awake
City lights awake
City lights don't you see them
Laying here straight cold
Wondering if this is getting old
My head is far too soft for this pillow
The lights stream through the seems
Of my painted room, the beams
They don't seem to blind me
No stars or moon in my reach
I guess I'll have to keep hope
For those city lights
They're the only thing that's bright
The power behind what so quickly removes dark
We sit below it, we don't even know it
It's not just stars
Oh it's all so much to take
But for my eyes sake
I'll let them shine bright
No stars or moon in my reach
I guess I'll have to keep hope
For those city lights
They're the only thing that's bright
This is where my room will stay
So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights
This is where my room will stay
So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights awake
The stars above are bright, but not like those city lights
Your heart drops like a stone, but you seem to feel indifferent
City lights, city lights, city lights awake
City lights awake
City lights don't you see them
Laying here straight cold
Wondering if this is getting old
My head is far too soft for this pillow
The lights stream through the seems
Of my painted room, the beams
They don't seem to blind me
No stars or moon in my reach
I guess I'll have to keep hope
For those city lights
They're the only thing that's bright
The power behind what so quickly removes dark
We sit below it, we don't even know it
It's not just stars
Oh it's all so much to take
But for my eyes sake
I'll let them shine bright
No stars or moon in my reach
I guess I'll have to keep hope
For those city lights
They're the only thing that's bright
This is where my room will stay
So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights
This is where my room will stay
So I'll have to learn to pray to those city lights, city lights awake
The stars above are bright, but not like those city lights
Your heart drops like a stone, but you seem to feel indifferent
City lights, city lights, city lights awake
