Find Me, I have lost myself again,
And I’m frightened, ‘cause I can’t seem to begin,
Would you help me, I have lost the will to move,
Am I broken, or maybe permanently bruised,
Gently, as to not lose any parts,
Would you hold me, So I can follow your heart,
Run now, carry me please,
Be strong now, carry me please,
I wanna be rescued, I wanna have a hero,
To feel fragile, where is my hero... now
Naked, I refuse to hold my shield,
So Strike me, eventually I’ll heal,
I’m a soldier, but I don’t know how to fight,
Eyes closed, no more marching tonight,
I wanna be rescued, I wanna have a hero,
To feel fragile, where is my hero…now
I’m running blindly, letting thorns tear,
But look behind me, everyone is scared,
So run behind me, I’ll block the thorns that tear,
Say follow behind me, and don’t be scared,
I wanna be rescued, by anyone but me,
To follow and never take the lead,
To be rescued, I wanna have a hero,
To feel fragile, where is my hero…now.

Darlin' don't be afraid, promise not to go away
Darlin' don't stand so far, you'll fall into the dark
And I just can't wait to thaw out your frozen heart
Darlin' don't be afraid, I'm not goin
away, away, away, away
Darlin' just forget before, it's no use to you anymore,
Quit actin like you've grown so old, like there's nothin left to know,
And I just wait, to witness the way you'll grow,
Darlin don't be afraid, I'm not goin
away, away, away, away
Darlin trust me, I won't let ya down
Darlin trust me, I won't let you down,
Darlin trust me, I won't let ya down,
Darlin trust me,

Who Stole the Cookies?

We always want what we can't have, that never stops us from tryin to grab
They tell us no and we scream yes, this tug-a-war is endless,
Like a wave drifts to the shore, as it rolls back leaves us askin for more,
The moment runs and I yell wait, just let it start before it's too late
And I, I can't lie, you seem less than satisfied,
And you, you can't hide what I see in your eyes
Potential shame you can't ignore, it crossed your mind as we lay on the floor,
Your mind says no but you feel yes, which will break who will confess,
Avoid regret and just let go, is missing out worth your comfort zone,
The moment's here will you say yes, nothing to fear no need to stress,
And I, I can't lie, you seem less than satisfied,
And you, you can't hide what I see in your eyes,
Life won't move slow, it won't wait until you know,
Honey I've got places to go, so you've got to let me know,
Can't get my hopes up that I know, but I'm not afraid to give it a go,
Here comes my arch nemesis, he's never late his name is: circumstance,
And I, I can't lie, you seem less than satisfied,
And you, you can't hide what I see in your eyes.

Darlin' You're Peachy
04:10

It starts with a look from across a wide crowded room,
You bat your eyes and to your surprise he’s lookin’ at you,
So you straighten your hair and try not to stare as he walks towards you,
As he inches closer, you’re thinking over what he’ll say to you,
He could say, “Hey there you’re lovely,
ya think you could love me?
Even just for a night or two?
Darlin’ you’re peachy,
Come on kiss me,
Wanna spend the night with you.”
Next there’s a dress and oh what a mess in a new crowded room,
You close your eyes and it’s no surprise he’s thinking of you,
So they pin up your hair and everyone stares when you walk in the room,
As your inching closer he’s thinking over what he said to you,
“Hey there you’re lovely,
Ya think you could love me,
Even just for a night or two,
Darlin’ you’re peachy,
Come on and kiss me,
Wanna spend the night with you,
Hey there you’re lovely,
Ya think you could love me,
Wanna spend every night with you,
Darling you’re peachy,
Come on and kiss me,
Wanna spend my life with you,
Now it’s time to rest and you were the best thing I ever knew,
When you closed your eyes, it’s no surprise I’ll be thinking of you,
The waves in your hair and the way you would stare when I’d walk in a room,
And now that it’s over, I’m thinking over what you said to me,
“Hey there you’re lovely,
So glad you could love me,
I do anything for you,
Darlin’ you’re peachy,
So glad that you kissed me,
Got to spend my life with you,
Hey there you’re lovely,
Ya think you could love me?
Even just for a night or two?
Darlin’ you’re peachy,
Come on kiss me,
Wanna spend the night with you.
He could say, “Hey there you’re lovely,
Ya think you could love me?
Even just for a night or two?
Darlin’ you’re peachy,
Come on kiss me,
Wanna spend the night with you.”

Nothing to Hide
04:13

I used to pride myself, on being an open book for all eyes to read,
No secrets, no nothing to hide ‘cause I was proud of me,
(oooo)
Not one to be constantly aware of what I eat, or what I wear,
No fear or judgmental eyes, or harmful words, I was never scared,
(oooo)
But this hurt gets heavy and hard to push away, and I’m,
Growing weaker with every day, so,
I will hide behind my smile, and
Keep on singin’ my silly songs, and
Walk like I were beautiful so
No one sees or no one cares,
Like a weed grabs for the sun, I yearn for eyes from everyone,
Makes me crazy to feel ignored I start to wilt, I fall to the floor,
(ooooo)
But this winter’s cold and far from gone and
I am starving for the sun, so
I will hide behind my smile, and
Keep on singin’ my silly songs, and
Walk like I were beautiful so
No one sees or no one cares,
I will hide behind my smile, and
Keep on singin’ my silly songs, and
Walk like I were beautiful so
No one sees or no one cares,
Not a wince of pain you’ll see, I’ll
Run away you can’t catch me, in
Every mirror I’ll count my fears and
Sing of how they devoured me,
I will hide behind my smile, and
Keep on singin’ my silly songs, and
Walk like I were beautiful so
No one sees or no one cares,
I will hide behind my smile, and
Keep on singin’ my silly songs, and
Walk like I were beautiful so
No one sees or no one cares,
I will hide behind my smile, and
Keep on singin’ my silly songs, and
Walk like I were beautiful so
No one sees or no one cares,
