WaterWeight 04:05
Are those footsteps that I hear coming? Is this evening still up to something? I can't see much from the floor I just want to feel like I once did before I'm hearing words come out of people many I don't know I'm in a lighthouse overseeing all who walk below But there's one thing that still lingers here in my head I am bound by WaterWeight And I've been told that's OK Even monsters leave a light on And dream of others that they can count on I've learned numbers that don't exist Because I'm counting the minutes that you are missed I'm sitting restless watching the white that winter presents Ignoring all the jokes it's making all at my expense Now I lay here on my bed with no one else nearby Just be sure to say your name before you wave goodbye I am bound by WaterWeight And I've been told that that's OK It's too bright to not see you the moment you walk by (oh) It's too bright to not observe when you walk by When you walk by, because I am bound by WaterWeight Cause I've been told that that's OK If you can capture the heart of man Then darling catch me if you can

When love is hanging by a string By all the warmth that life can bring From all the ships where we set sail Comes all the ink sent in the mail When all the world is turned on high And you're watching all your life go by When your heart and mind just don't agree Meet me at the mango tree When all I have is all you've got You know my love is worth a lot If my voice is soft enough We can watch the moon come up The moon come up When moments turn into a year I wonder how we once got here And when your heart and mind just don't agree Meet me at the mango tree When you laugh and when you cry I always end up so tongue tied And when you lay here in my arms You know that you are out of harm's way When you find a calm amongst the storm Baby I feel like a newborn And when your heart and mind just don't agree Meet me at the mango tree The mango tree The mango tree The mango tree The mango tree

Grow 04:28
I hear your voice, your beautiful call I'm so glad I could touch you again before they let me fall This bed doesn't feel like home to me I can't sense you to my left and I can hardly breathe The car swerved left when ours saw green Those flashing lights oh god they were bright They're the last thing I've seen Everyone goes it's just my turn It's my fire don't let yourself get burned When your body's aching and you can't stop yourself Use me to grow You'll always be my daughter my pride and joy God I can't wait till you graduate and when you meet that boy You can carry me in that little pot of stone Yours to keep yours to release yours to own Everyone goes it's just my turn It's my fire don't let yourself get burned When your body's aching and you can't stop yourself Use me to grow And when the times get rough And you've had enough Listen to the melody I wrote for you And when I leave you at the gate And you want to escape Just remember I'll see you soon Everyone goes it's just my turn It's my fire don't let yourself get burned When your body's aching and you can't stop yourself Use me to grow

Upside 04:41
Past the room door lies a cold war And your eyes send a bold remark And the ghosts sing all the strangest things They're the loudest when in the dark My body's old and my mind is older And the warmest hearts still take their time Do you feel the upside? In reaching to the outside. Do you feel the upside? To know what true love feels like It's been said before That you can't ignore what the future holds And all you know How will you receive what the conscience believes? Well I'm sure birds were scared to look below They're on the wall and I won't read at all And the best of us will all find their way Do you feel the upside? In reaching to the outside. Do you feel the upside? To know what true love feels like (Ooh) Do you feel the upside? In reaching to the outside. Do you feel the upside? To know what true love feels like
