Easier to Leave

Verse 1
It’s 3:35 in the morning
I’m lying here awake.
We had a tent up in the backyard.
It’s folded in the rain.
It held our sun-soaked conversations
For two weeks, or maybe one.
It’s broken down just like our love.
We’re both sprawled out on the ground.
Chorus:
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When the floor holds my breathing.
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When you’re so easily sleeping.
Verse 2:
It’s 4:39 in the morning,
The sun is soon to rise.
I’ve been losing sleep and hours,
Letting anger waste my time.
My arms stretched out across the carpet.
Holding memories of when we started.
What used to feel like overwhelm,
Is starting to feel numb.
Chorus:
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When the floor holds my breathing.
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When you’re so easily sleeping.
When you’re so easily sleeping.
Bridge:
There’s a picture hanging on the wall
Of the trip we never took last fall.
The plant we potted years ago,
Is laughing now.
Chorus:
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When the floor holds my breathing.
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When you’re so easily sleeping.
Verse 3: (Half verse.)
It’s 5:43 in the morning
And the sun is through the blinds.
The daylight brings a compromise
That we couldn’t find at night.
Chorus:
When it was easier to think of leaving,
When the floor held my breathing.
It’s easier to think of leaving,
When you’re so easily sleeping.
When you’re so easily sleeping.
Outro:
Sleeping

Annie's Daughter
03:11

Annie’s daughter is a red head
Dreaming everywhere but in her bed
She’s level headed
Hates wearing dresses
Avoids the crowd who tries to tell her where her mess is.
Annie’s daughter isn’t broken
Somebody oughtta tell that to her first-grade class
Cuz they’ve been walking over her like
She’s been shattered into pieces that won’t fall back
She’s doing alright
While Annie is losing sleep every night
And she’s not giving up
Without a fight
Annie’s daughter is unwinding
Dancing with the chains that each new age brings unaware,
no time to spare
She’s skipping stones at all the miles tangling up her hair
She’s doing alright
While Annie is losing sleep every night
And she’s not giving up
Without a fight
Keep talking out x’s 8
She’s doing alright
While Annie, is losing sleep every night
And she’s not giving up
Without a fight.

Pent up energy in the form of a hot mess
In the form of a blinding light
Double-taking my perfect sight
Enter my ego into every moment (ohh oh)
Pander to my feelings forget any reason (ooh oh)
I guess I better let this one go
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh I’m not human on principle
Oh oh oh I got superhuman strength and sheer will
I feel it so strongly but it’s just strong chaos
Is that how I come across da da da da da
It’s fizzling out but I can’t seem to stop
It’s in my head but I can’t articulate
I guess I better let this one go
[Chorus]
Stubborn as an ox, ya I’ve heard it
Stubborn to the core, I apologize
I’m sorry, you say that too much
I’m sorry, you say that too much
[Chorus]
I want you to notice me without stepping on your toes
Without causing any big stir
Without pissing anyone off
[acapella]
Flow with my waterfall, turn with my moon
Rise with my tide and go out again soon
You’ll learn pretty quick I don’t got it figured out
The floor’s full of eggshells blocking your way out
[Chorus x2]

Find Our Way
03:29

Verse 1:
We called it out too soon.
The love.
It pushed me running afraid, from you.
Oh the love.
We called it out too soon.
Chorus:
When will we find our way?
When will we find our way?
Verse 2:
You asked me from the beginning
To open up my heart and let you in it.
I pretended honest feelings.
Your arms wrapped around me in all the right ways
Oh but I
Felt trapped in you not knowing how to behave
Bridge:
You asked for it
Even longed for it
When it comes for you
You let it all go.
You asked for it
Even longed for it
When it comes for you
You let it all go.
Chorus:
When will we find our way?
When will we find our way?
Outro:
When will we find our way?
Find our way
Find our way
Find our way
Oooo
Oooo

Sunday to Tuesday

Let me know when you’ve got time to be
A little closer than we have been lately
I would kick off my shoes and lie in the grass with you
From Sunday to Tuesday
Sunday to Tuesday
Sunday to Tuesday
Let me know when you would like to see me
Spend some time the way we used to baby
We’re just passing ships in the hallway
While you go walking your way and I’ll go mine
It doesn’t always go the way you want
It doesn’t always go the way you want
Let me know when we can talk about it
Forgive forget and make the most out of it
So we can get ourselves back to doing the things we love to
From Sunday to Tuesday
Sunday to Tuesday
Sunday to Tuesday
If I tried to let it all go
Maybe you, you wouldn’t even notice
that we’ve been through this before
And it’ll come around again
From Sunday to Tuesday

[verse 1]
I really want to matter
And I really want to care
I want to build something with my bare hands
And I want you all to stare
[verse 2]
I forget that I made a promise
I forget that I hold the key
I forget that I’ve been here before
And I forget that it hurts when I bleed
[chorus]
The morning hours creep
Pen touches paper and I’m in the sheets
Ya the morning hours creep
The sun is high, so are you, and I’m still asleep
[verse 3]
The alarm’s gone off for hours
The wailing sounds so far away
You’re half way done your life’s work
And it’s not even half through the day
[verse 4]
My dreams keep me from waking
The bleary eyed wishing for more
I can hear you calling my name
But my bed’s so far from the door
[chorus]
[verse 5]
Now it’s hard to see you succeeding
And that doesn’t feel good to say
You’ve said it before and you’ll say it again
It’s just me getting in my own way
[bridge]
Oh don’t pass me by
It’s just the season, the weather
Or the lack of sunshine
I’ll fall back in line
I’ll be fine
Just please, wait up for me
[verse 6]
The moss is starting to cover
This stone hasn’t been rolling in days
It’s a stumbling ground for my groundless dreams
As I try to rub clear this haze
[final chorus]
The morning hours creep
Pen touches paper and I’m in the sheets
Ya the morning hours creep
The sun is high, so are you,
The sun is high, so are you,
The sun is high and I’m still asleep
Oooooooh, ooooooh, hmm
