Buttercup Lake
03:55
|

We took a dip into buttercup lake
Nestled in the mountains of angel food cake
I am a maiden with daisies for hair
You are a woodsman and will take me anywhere
Higher we’re climbing on honeycomb hill
Over the clouds where the air starts to chill
We sit together as sprinkle stars come out
You say you love me there will never be a doubt
But I loved the sun dear
And you loved the rain
When you said goodbye dear
Hearts were built to break
We took a picnic by buttercup lake
I brought blueberries and you brought rum cake
Wind shaped the clouds into sculptures in the sky
You held my hand tight, said you’d love me till you die
But I loved the sun dear
And you loved the rain
When you said goodbye dear
Hearts were built to break
Too soon we grew older so a trip we did take
Over the mountains to buttercup lake
Your head in my lap dear as the sun goes to bed
You say you love me with your final sweet breath
Oh I love the sun dear
And you loved the rain
When you said goodbye dear
Hearts were built to break
I like to go back to buttercup lake
Nestled in the mountains of angel food cake
I’m an old maiden with lilies for hair
You are the warm wind and will take me anywhere

Love Let Me In
03:37
|

I want to be the one that you run to
And I want to see all of your tears, and wipe
them away
Cause I know you despair
I’ll always be there
I want to know all of your fears and kiss them
clean
Because when I share all of my own you let me
lean
On your shoulders and you hold me
In your arms mmmmmm
Love let me in
I give him my burdens he carries them all
And the relief feels like a sin
Love let me in
I want to go where you go and be where you
are
And I want to know all of your soul and hold
your heart
In my chest
Beside my own
Till we’re old
Oh
Love let me in
I give him my burdens he carries them all
And the relief feels like a sin
Love let me in
I’m holdin on fast I will shelter him all
Through the rain and the snow and the wind
Love let me in
I want to stand by your side in front of all our
friends
And I want to bind all of our love till the end
Of my life, cause I’m yours
Please be mine, forever Amen

3:20 on a Monday I’m
Done my to do list
He’s working and my friends are out
How will I get through this?
Roommate busy, making money
That’s what I should be doing
I gotta get out, gotta go out
Been bored for 30 seconds now
3:20 on a Monday I
Could paint my toenails
3:20 on a Monday I
Could read a book
People busy, making money
That’s what I should be doing
I gotta get out, gotta go out
Been bored for one whole minute now
I hate being alone with nothing to do
I hate that I can’t slow down
I got a busy mind and empty hands
3:20 on a Monday I I
Already ate lunch
3:20 on a Monday I I
Will not watch more Netflix
People busy, making money
That’s what I should be doing
I gotta get out, gotta go out
Been bored for two whole minutes now
I hate being alone with nothing to do
I hate that I can’t slow down
I got a busy mind and empty hands
3:20 on a Monday I’m done my to do list
He’s working and my friends are out
How will I get through this
I’m usually busy making money
That’s what I should be doing
I gotta get out gotta go out
Been bored for two and a half minutes now
I hate being alone with nothing to do
I hate that I can’t slow down
I got a busy mind and empty hands
3:20 on a Monday I
Just wrote a little song

Honey turn out the light
The baby is finally sleeping
Honey look at the night
Lay by my side mm
Sometimes life gets real blue
But you come and turn it all pink and yellow
My days were feeling grey
Now they’re bright
When you hold me
I know I’m not one for words but I will
Give you all that I can muster
But when it comes to writing love songs
I get so tongue tied
You make me tongue tied
But I will try
Try to find the words
Darling you shape my life
Into bends and swirls and circles
I’ve been delighted such a long time
Wrap me up mmm
In your arms
Wrap me in your arms
I know I’m not one for words but I will
Give you all that I can muster
But when it comes to writing love songs
I get so tongue tied
You make me tongue tied
Now I’m tripping on my own feet
Cause you make me feel so weightless
I want to show the things I can’t speak
Oh and I will I will
I know I’m not one for words but I will
Give you all that I can muster
But when it comes to writing love songs
I get so tongue tied
You make me tongue tied
In your arms
Tongue tied in your arms
Honey turn out the light
The baby is finally sleeping

So Far Away
04:07
|
|||
When you went away I knew I’d be getting lonely
When you went away I was getting scared already
Then the skies were grey, the day you went away
And I went home
Leaves were fallin down, but only sunshine where you were
Hid my heart in the ground, but only till it froze over
And the skies remained, when you went away
But I’m alone
While you were away I was growing older
While you were away I was trying to see my own Seoul
And he came one day, while you were away
And we went home
Oceans blocked the way, I could not contain it
I am so ashamed, should’ve rearranged it
And my tears were hurricanes, when I went away
And you’re alone
Got a lot to say, not a lot to know
Should’ve walked away but I was feeling so
Far away, so far away
So long ago
Everything we’d say, everything we’d know
All got washed away, for something that was so
Close to take, so far away
So long ago

Right Here
03:57
|

This was your piano
I learned all the white keys
Don't need to know the names to know what they mean
The world starts off with melody
Close your eyes close your eyes
I would wait forever
But you don’t have that kind of time
Hush my darling
Hush my dear
Hush my darling I’ll be right here waiting
Time goes on, you build a life of your own
Three little ones, two generations more
You brought all the sunshine
You are warm and you are bright
Hush my darling
Hush my dear
Hush my darling I’ll be right here waiting
The seasons pass, close your eyes close your
Colours flow to snow and shade
The body is a garden where memories grow and memories fade
Hush my darling
Hush my dear
Hush my darling I’ll be right here waiting
This is my piano
I know all the white keys
I will play them softly while you sleep
