Fever In My Eye

It’s all the same, except for me I’ve changed
I’m looking for a way to eat up a new landscape
Take me for a ride, I want to get out what’s inside
There’s never been a better time, to lean into the wind
And start again
Fever in my eye for you
Fever in my eye for you
I sleep but never come to
Fever in my eye for you
Dig up the old signs, maybe there’s something left to find
If my memories pass as patterns, then I’m riddled with design
I could be wrong I’ve been wrong, many times at that
But I keep my count, my heart and my hands
Hid behind my back
Fever in my eye for you
Fever in my eye for you
I sleep but never come to
Fever in my eye for you
You can’t trust yourself when you’re in love
Fever in my eye for you
Fever in my eye for you
I sleep but never come to
Fever in my eye for you

When I Want To

When I want to I can touch the moon
Pull it’s lighting from a room
When I want to I can change my mind
I think about it all the time
When I want to I can lose control
You won’t see it but I’ll know
When I want to I hold it together
Smile nod never better
I work as hard as I can like it could mean something
Tell myself that that’s who I am
What do you do when you don’t want to anymore
I ask myself if this is living than what am I living for
I am nothing if not on the run
Jack of all, master of none
Never slow down, never grow old
Someone else can rule the world
If I had to, could I move in stride?
Take a breath and let it ride
Content to see the ocean for the shore
Never leaving, never more
I work as hard as I can like it could mean something
Tell myself that that’s who I am but I feel nothing
What do you want to shed these days?
What do you do when you don’t want to anymore
I ask myself if this is living than what am I living for
I keep on moving looking for some kind of source
But I don’t want to anymore
What do you even want to do?
What do you think that you can do?

Hibiscus

Oh to bloom and die in a day, ain’t that a feeling
Fresh faced but in vain, the sun sets and I’m spinning
I keep reaching, stretching out
To wrap my arms around myself
I’ve been a woman on fire
I’ve been a woman on fire
I found a match no one could light, they didn’t need it
I’m not sure they ever tried, I couldn’t believe it
I striked it like a pose
“The Birth of Venus” as a still life, in repose
Tell yourself “I’m a liar, we both know I was a bird on the wire
I know I should have stood by her, we both know I was a woman on fire
We both know I am a woman on fire
There are spiders everywhere
You’re the only one who had me scared (2x)
Tell yourself “I’m a liar”, we both know I was a woman on fire
You can tell I’m a liar, we both know I was a bird on wire
Tell yourself “I’m a liar”, we both know I was a woman on fire
We both know I am a woman on fire

Nothing Grows in August

Nothing grows in August but I’m trying anyway
A scarecrow in my mind to keep my past at bay
A warning not to poke and prod the feeling as I may
Never perfect never sure but I’m not looking back today
Soil like a sandbox or a dune upon the coast
I planted seeds to reinforce a time I felt the most
In the wind and swirling like a dervish on a boat
In a “sea of anarchy” scream singing Sheryl Crow
I can be good, I’m good I’m good
I can be good to you
Do you love me like I love you now
‘Cause I can’t tell the difference and the distance is killing me
I used to think that running was the only way to move
I barreled like a freight train but my tracks weren’t true
I yelled around the corner screaming “I’m coming for you”
No one listens, no one cares but it’s all I do
I can be good, I’m good I’m good
I can be good to you
Do you love me like I love you now
‘Cause I can’t tell the difference and the distance is killing me
Is the distance killing you? The distance is killing me
I can be good, I’m good I’m good
I can be good to you
Do you love me like I love you now
‘Cause I can’t tell the difference and the distance is killing me

Dotted Line

How can it be? I feel alive but I’m just hovering?
I was above it all, thought I was above it all
The joke’s on me I played it cool for too long you see
Thought I was above it all, I was above it all
I don’t check all the boxes but I signed the dotted line
I don’t check all the boxes but you signed the dotted line
Jealousy it’s not you it’s not even me
Thought I could shake it off, can’t seem to shake it off
I don’t check all the boxes but I signed the dotted line
I don’t check all the boxes but you signed the dotted line
Leave it to my shadow
To my shadow
Nothing to lose except my own one cool remove
But I can let it go, I think I’ll let it go

Wind in the Door

After the gold rush I flew to the sun
Burning for you like the West could be won
Now I’m stuck with this feeling
Staring at the ceiling
Fan the flames of all those years I thought we had it made
I was a bird in a cage, heart on my sleeve
I feel so lived in and loving him was lonely
If you met me in this house you don’t know me anymore
You left me in this house you don’t know me anymore
A wind in the door, a ghost down the hall
I hear your voice on the line but nobody’s calling
It’s only me
If you met me in this house you don’t know me anymore
You left me in this house and I don’t know you anymore
If you’re reaching out to me I don’t feel you
I was such a small thing sitting at my window
You don’t know me anymore
