What a Day
Written by Amanda Sullivan
Every minute hour day is a circle inside itself
An everlasting record you’ll hear spinning round
Make it stop before it skips
Put your hands over my ears, I can’t handle it
What a day, what a day, what a day I have been through…
Just to get away, away, away with you would be freedom
How the needle fits perfectly inside the record’s groove
How everything fits perfectly in life as it moves
From time to time the song would skip, put you put it all in line
Now everything I hear sounds oh so fine
What a day, what a day, what a day I have been through…
Just to get away, away, away with you would be freedom

Indecision

I’ve been living in the future
And I’ve been living in the past
I’m not sure what I’ve lost
I’m not sure what will last
And I’m thinking ‘bout a new direction
I’m thinking that it is time to leave
I’m not sure what to lose
I’m not sure what to keep
And I’m drowning in this indecision
I’m lost in miscommunication
I think you’re everything that I can’t live with
Or without
I packed my suitcase yesterday
I wasn’t sure if I should stop
I packed my suitcase anyway
I put your photo on the top
I imagine that I’m in my car
I see you in the rear view mirror
I’m not sure what I’ve lost
I’m not sure if I’ll be back
I’m not sure what I’ve lost
I’m not sure if I’ll be back
I’m not sure what I’ve lost
I'm nost sure if I'll be back
I’m not sure what I’ve lost
And I’m not sure if I’ll be back

Yellow Flashing Lights

Now I won’t sway like a tree in the wind
Whispering lovely things to draw me in like
nothing, Ah, Ah, nothing really happened
And I won’t feel the way that I did
I won’t welcome you back inside my heart
was broken, Ah, Ah, broken in half
And when I think about all the years we shared
All the signs were there hiding behind their disguises
Little white lies and butterflies rising
It don’t surprise me, that the first warning keeps happening
You warned me
You warned me
But I didn’t listen
You said there’d be days
You’d treat me this way
Days when the good parts gone missin’
Should I stay when the sky gets rough
Cause I’ve been looking up but holding on
To this love, this love, Ah, Ah, love…. Oh love
Yellow flashing lights inside me
Thunder crashing all around me
Ah, Ah, Ah….
Now I won’t wait like the morning sun
Waiting for love to grow, cause the rain will come
Oh the rain, oh the rain...it will come
Yellow flashing lights inside me
Thunder crashing all around me
You warned me

Textile Town

My man and I are gonna move up north
towards the falls and the border and the frozen sun
Oh…Oh…
Gonna move on up to where the land is vast,
the forest is thick, and the lakes are clear like glass
Oh…Oh…
I love you all but I have to leave,
this old textile town can’t hold me
Oh…Oh…
Cause I’m going far away
The day after today
Cause I’m a fish out of water
Want to go where it all matters
Cause I'm going far away
The day after today
Cause I'm a songbird heading northwards
Where her voice can be heard
So we get on up to where we need to be
but it all just looks the same to me
Oh…Oh…
Now I don't know what I thought I'd see
it’s the same old story with everyone I meet.
I love you all but I have to leave,
this old textile town can’t hold me
Oh…Oh….
My man and I, we are no more,
that door is closed, my heart is torn
Oh…Oh…
I moved on up to where the grass is greener
and the songs are sweeter, but they were neither
Oh…Oh…
I love you all but I have to leave, my old textile town is calling me
It is calling me…it is calling me…

Pretty Words

And it’s good to hear you’re pretty words
And it’s good to hear you’re sorry
I don’t wanna remember that I’ve heard this before
I want who you are now; I want who you are now
And it’s good to hear you love me
Oh it’s good to feel that I’m loved
I don’t wanna remember that your love can hurt
I want who you are now; I want who you are now
And I’m falling, I’m falling, In circles
Oh I’m falling, I’m falling, In circles
Cause when I’m up, You bring me down
And when I’m down, You say your pretty words
And it’s good to hear you want me
So good to feel wanted
I don’t want to remember that your touch was cold
I want who you are now; I want who you are now
And it’s good to hear you’re gonna change
That's things will be different this time
And I don’t want to remember all your promises
I want who you are now, I want who you are now
I'm falling
Oh I’m falling
For your pretty words

We Both Know

Don't look at me now
Don't look at me now
I can tell what you're thinking
Don't look at me know
Don't look at me now
Cause then you'll see what I'm feeling
It's a bad idea
and we both have fears
So we just keep quiet
And everyday
it eats us away
And soon our song may not be silent
Cause You and I both know
It's bound to happen
So we keep our mouths closed
Even though we want them open
We're one in the same
So I guess I can't blame
These feeling I have of torture
We're moths drawn to the flame
We're a runaway train
We're cold cascading waters
And how can we hold
Something that's out of control
Why do we even bother?
Yeah, she's a nice a girl
But I could give you the world
But instead I will just stand here and smile
Cause You and I both know
It's bound to happen
So we keep our mouths closed
Even though we want them open
Cause one day we'll "be"
We will have to wait and see
Cause one day w'ell "be"
We will have to wait and see
