LYRICS

I Could Have Made a Child

I could have made a child
I have the body for it
I could have made a child
And it would be grown by now
I’ve got the hips, the womb
The loving heart
I could have made a child

I could have made a child
And I could’ve fed it peaches
I could have made a child
And taught it to rise each day
To stay close to its own heart
Find strength in vulnerability
I could have made a child

But all this time I have spent
Making myself a happier person
All this time I have spent
‘Cause I needed more time
For me

I could have made a child
And written songs about it
I could have made a child
And hear how it sings
Could’ve caressed it and blessed it
With all my creativity
Yes, I could have made a child

But all this time I have spent
Making myself a happier person
All this time I have spent
‘Cause I needed more time
For me

I could have made a child

I Will Start Over

The letting go is easy
But only if you’re into that specific sort of thing
Like tidying your junk from your trunk

It can definitely be quite easy
If you’re into really sad goodbyes
Like a tree in the fall, letting go of the leaves

Leave me alone, I will start over
Leave me alone, I will take a new breath
Leave me alone, I will start over
Leave me alone, I will take a new breath

Letting go, sure it’s easy
Particularly if a clean slate gives you thrills
Like an empty counter top on which to chop

Letting go is easy
But only if you’re into the bittersweet
It’s a bit like faith
You can choose whatever you want to believe

Leave me alone, I will start over
Leave me alone, I will take a new breath
Leave me alone, I will start over
Leave me alone, I will take a new breath

Sharp Corners

Oh the corner’s sharp
We don’t want you to
We don’t want you to
Hurt yourself

Oh the monsters are
Pretty big up there
Pretty big up there
They might swallow you

Oh the water’s deep
We don’t want you to
‘Cause you never learned
To swim

Oh the people are
They’re all wearing masks
Wearing masks
You should probably wear yours too

We’ve taken care of you
Held you when no-one would
We’re keeping you safe
We’ve taken care of you
Held you when no-one would
We’re keeping you safe

Oh it’s all too much
And the air’s to heavy
The air’s too heavy
How could you carry that

Oh the sky is dark
It’s all pouring down
Pouring down
And you didn’t bring a coat

We’ve taken care of you
Held you when no-one would
We’re keeping you safe
We’ve taken care of you
Held you when no-one would
We’re keeping you safe

Oh the corner’s sharp
We don’t want you to
We don’t want you to
Hurt yourself

My Roots

It started from a little pot
The smallest seed was growing
Was given water, given shade
And sunlight overflowing

But roots they grow and take up space
As they are growing stronger
They need more depth, more nourishment
Can’t stay here any longer
This spot is too restrictive

You gave me the world
Just so I could grow
I never imagined it possible
You taught me that soil
Takes care of it all
And now I can feel myself growing
Now I can feel myself growing

Give a little time, give a little hope
Give a little time, give a little hope
Give a little me, give a little me to you

It started from a little pot
The smallest seed was growing
Was given water, given shade
And sunlight overflowing

All Of This Nothingness

A thousand tiny holes makes the love disappear
A thousand tiny holes make it seem like it was never here

How is it to pour our everything, in, and see it all gets lost
How is it to give our everything, in, and see it disappear

A thousand tiny holes makes the love disappear
A thousand tiny holes make it seem like it was never here

But you come again and fill me up with all the love
And some is lost on me and some will be safely stored
In my heart forever
But baby can you cope
Baby all of this, nothingness

When we pour our love and everything, in, will it ever be enough
When we give our heart and everything, in, will we feel eternal love

A thousand tiny holes makes the love disappear
A thousand tiny holes make it seem like it was never here

But you come again and fill me up with all the love
And some is lost on me and some will be safely stored
In my heart forever
But baby can you cope
Baby all of this, nothingness

Another Person

Oh friend, what happened
In our heart, what happened
And in our mind, what changed
In our heart, what changed

I got scared there
I got scared there

But how does one lose another person
How does one lose another person

Oh friend, I’ve lost you
I couldn’t find my way back
Too much was about to change
A lot of things got rearranged

And I got scared there
I was scared there

How does one lose another person
How does one lose another person

You Broke It And Returned It

I wrapped it in soft linen
And I placed it on the table
I made sure the table’s sturdy
I made sure it wouldn’t fall

I watched it as you picked it up
Carressed it and held it in your arms
And I closed my eyes a moment to let it sink in

And every so often
I would pick it up to check it
It looked perfect like it did
when I put it there

Then I saw you hold it with a frown
And quickly after you put it down
And we watched as it fell to the floor

You said you didn’t care for it at this time
And you want to return what is rightfully mine
And you broke it before you returned it

You said it doesn’t do it for my anymore
So I don’t know what I would be doing it for
So I broke it and I’m returning it

Said you can have it back
‘Cause it’s broken anyway

Humming Gently

I hear you humming gently
As you walk into the hall
You’re making us some dinner
And you’re taking care of it all

How beautiful this image
And how good it made me feel
How sad it’s just an image
No longer real

My brain is now forgetting
The softness of your touch
And my heart is slowly letting go
Of how I loved you so much

Go where the birds go
With their lonely song
We’ll go where the birds go
We did no wrong

Lover we tried, lover we did
Lover I loved you
But go where the birds go

This Kinda Fun

One minute I’m happy, one minute I’m sad
I am thinking of the things that, I will never have
One minute I’m down and the next I’m up
I am gluing all the pieces of this broken cup

Drink it up, drink it up
There are no more tears to cry
Drink it up, drink it up
In the end we all will die

And I wanna live a little, before I do
And I wanna have this kinda fun with you

One minute I’m horny, then the next I’m not
I am thinking of the things I should have done but I forgot
I’m talking to my boo, he says he’ll soon be mine
Makes me feel a whole lot better and it work all the time

He’ll be mine, he’ll be mine
There are no more tears to cry
He’ll be mine, he’ll be mine
In the end we all will die

And I wanna live a little, before I do
And I wanna have this kinda fun with you
And I wanna live a little, before I do
And I wanna have this kinda fun with you

Boo could be just anyone, anyone I please
Maybe I am shallow, I just need release
Come on boo, come over here, I’ll sit on your knee
You can tell me all the things, you wanna do to me

Do to me, do to me
There are no more tears to cry
Do to me, do to me
In the end we all will die

And I wanna live a little, before I do
And I wanna have this kinda fun with you
And I wanna live a little, before I do
And I wanna have this kinda fun with you

A Little Longer

The first thing on my mind in the morning
When you are sleeping softly in my bed
Is how I long to touch and hold on to you
Even if this kind of longing makes me sad

Is it a dream, we have to get up and do the things
But in my dream, I lay with you until the of time

Baby let us sleep a little longer
Just a little longer than before
And baby if we sleep a little longer
I know when I wake up, I’ll want you more

The second thought that comes in the morning
Is how I never want to let you go
And how I want to make us both so happy
Take us from that dreaded undertow

Is it a dream, we have to get up and do the things
But in my dream, I lay with you until the of time

Baby let us sleep a little longer
Just a little longer than before
And baby if we sleep a little longer
I know when I wake up, I’ll want you more
