Sigh of Relief

Rile me up, ruffle my feathers / Remind me what it’s like to feel / Don’t let me give up / Cut the tether and you’ll hear that sigh of *Sigh of relief, sigh of relief / No more shadows hanging over me / Sigh of relief, such a sweet release / You’ll know what it’s like to feel as free as me / Raise me up, up from the ashes / Convince me that it’s time to heal / Walk beside me, do this together ‘til we hear that sigh of (Chorus) Listen, sometimes you just gotta let it go / (Chorus 2x)

GET WHERE YOU’RE GOING

All bets are in, all eyes on you / I’ve been working so hard for something that’s only making me blue / Head first, falling towards the brink / Sometimes in order to rise, you gotta know what it’s like to sink / *But I don’t wanna leave you baby / Please know that it ain’t you / I’ve been working so hard for something / I just can’t afford, just can’t afford to lose / Get it while you can / People will talk but why give a damn? / Time may be a manmade construct but a plan is a plan / You gotta give into the clues / If you never stop to listen then you’ll always pay for the blues / Sometimes to win, you gotta know what it’s like to lose (Chorus) So, I best be getting where I’m going / There’s no way around it, baby / The road is a long and lonely one / This ain’t easy, this ain’t easy

STUBBORN LOVERS

I remember when we first met / We had so much in common / People had their opinions baby / None of that could stop us / We could go all night / Well into the daylight/ Now we pass in the hall / How did things get so volatile? / *We’re such stubborn lovers on the edge of paradise / Throw me a rope and I’ll show you some sunlight / ‘Cause we’re so broken but we can’t say goodbye / Going on a decade / There’s a bittersweetness baby / We each have our reasons honey / Neither one of us face it / I’m breaking you down / You’re breaking me down / Another drink now / forget what we’re even fighting about (Chorus 2x) We can’t say goodbye / maybe that’s something / Shut up and lay with me tonight / We can’t say goodbye 2x / We’re just stubborn lovers

VANITY

I remember momma’s vanity Was just a mirror and embroidered seat / She would sit there trying to look like a model on a magazine / The smell of that Chanel perfume / I’d sit and watch her every move and her painted face / Wonder how it ever got to be that way / Well, there’s more than meets the eye / I always knew that I was more than just the way I look / Not just a cover of the book / Open it wide / Make sure you read every line / Just ‘cause it’s always been that way don’t mean that it’s okay / It’s so hard to be a woman in a world of vanity / I remember my grandma’s eyes / There was something so deep inside / Yeah, she knew her worth / Man, I wanted to be just like her / Well, she’d look me in the eyes / She said beauty fades with time / (Chorus) / Oh my darlin, it may be hard to understand that mirror just can’t see the heart in you the way I can / (Chorus) / I remember when vanity was just a mirror and embroidered seat
