Doing anything I can to get away
Running as fast as I can to escape
It's close behind and my lead is shrinking
I'm doing whatever I can to put it off
Holding onto what I have left
I'm shoving anything heavy in front of the door to keep it out
I'm trying my hard...
The feeling of sadness
The feeling of quiet
The emptiness that accompanies it
As it slowly creeps up on me

I'm still figuring things out
Heartbreaks and stran...
You there

I want to tell you that you look beautiful
Don't look down at your feet
I can't see the gems in your eyes
I want to tell you about your hair
It's so shiny I might go blind
Don't tie it up, let it be free
I want to tell you ab...

we are the leaves
Some of us are green
Some of us are red
Some of uschange colors
Others just stay the same all year
We gather on branches enjoying each other
Some are alone cause everyone blew away
Some are at the top and can see everything
Others are lower and...
I'm from a place everyone knows
Where there is nothing to do on a saturday night
I'm from a place everyone sees
where everyone knows everyone
I'm from a place everyone feels
where the trails are overgrown and rocky
I'm from a place everyone hears
Where the food marke...
