Track Name: Favorite Tree
Found a nozzle at the base of our favorite tree
Convinced somebody put it there just for me
To blow, to blow, my air in

And in the morning oftentimes you’ll find me
Lying at the base of our favorite tree
Breathing in and breathing out so fervently
In hopes, in hope, it needs me

No matter the weather or
Dirt on my sweater
I huff, I puff, I huff, I puff
Like it’s enough

CHORUS:
Darling I didn’t know
I’d be borrowing so much trouble
So much trouble
And darling I'd like to see
It changing drastically (inside of me)
For the trouble
For the trouble
Time and trouble

Starting to think maybe our favorite tree
Just might be getting the best of me
Its branches sway, its leaves they wave
So merrily
I swear that there tree is mocking me.
I know
I know
It is.

No matter the season
The rhyme or the reason
I huff, I puff, I huff, I puff
And that’s enough

CHORUS

I found a nozzle at the base of our favorite tree
I swear somebody put it there just for me
Track Name: Run Sarah Run
She believes it
She believes what she’s saying
She believes it
She doesn’t make any sense at all

She believes it
She believes in the praying
She’s gonna need it
She’s gonna need it
Come the fall

Bubble gum dreams
And candy wishes
She always wants way too much
Someday
She might get it
Someday
She just might.
La la la , run, Sarah, run
La la la , run, Sarah, run

I don’t believe it
I don’t believe what she’s saying
I don’t believe it
She doesn’t make any sense at all

I don’t believe it
I don’t believe in the praying
But I may need it
I might need it
After all

Bubble gum dreams
And candy wishes
She always wants way too much
Someday
She might get it
Someday
She just might.

Ooh la la
La la la , run, Sarah, run
La la la , run, Sarah, run
(repeat)
Track Name: Loaf of Bread
Loaf of bread,
Quart of milk,
Stick of butter...

I see you in your chair
I try to catch your stare
Let’s both get outta here
And remember

I think of things to say
Something in my day
You look at me and say
The food tastes better
The food tastes better
In the city

What do I say to you?
To shine it up real new?
Let’s both get outta here
And remember
Remember
Remember
Track Name: Dreaming
When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what’s my pleasure
A movie or a measure
A cup of tea
And tell you of my dreaming

I don’t want to live on charity (nothing’s free)
Pleasure’s real or is it fantasy (you tell me)
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me
Walk on by (goodbye)
We just keep on dreaming

Dream dream, for a little while
Dream dream, eat up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own
Something you can have and hold
A road in gold for dreaming

Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming is free
Dreaming
Dreaming’s still free
Track Name: Snow Globe
You say I wear a
Stunned expression
That doesn’t surprise
Me at all
You say I didn’t learn my lesson
Still waiting for
The other shoe to fall

CHORUS:
I was born in a snow globe
Already turned upside down
I’m In a outfit that’s not my own
Stuck standing by a plastic house
And it’d be fine
It’d be fine with me
If I could only move my feet
if I could only move my feet.

I’ve been looking
on the bright side
For as long as I can recall
you shook me harder & harder
Til I couldn’t see you at all.

CHORUS

If you look a little closer
You'll see a sign that says
Wish you were here
And if you look a little closer
You’ll feel bigger
Than you are my dear

CHORUS
Track Name: Better
What can I do?
To chase it away?
I thought you knew
I always would stay
It’s funny to think
When we got started
We never thought
Of broken hearted

CHORUS:
It might not be better
It might not be better
It might not be better
But it might be alright

Why are you blue?
Did your bird fliy away?
What did he do?
Leave you cleaning the cage?
Gather your things
Sweep up the floor
Go back to the way
You were living before

CHORUS

How many hours
Could we sit perfectly still
Let the world trip over us
It most likely will
How many minutes
To to take you apart
We’ll hang out your skin to dry
And bleed your heart

What can I do?
To chase it away
I thought you knew
I always would stay
Let’s put all our beans together
Stack ‘em up
Get through the weather

CHORUS
Track Name: Crazy Eyebrows
I love the boy with the crazy eyebrows
I love the boy with the crazy eyes now
I love the boy with the crazy eyebrows, ooooh.
(Repeat)

I do. I do. Love you.
I do. I do. I do.
Track Name: Comfort Me
Kiss me good
Kiss me good
Kiss me alright
Hold me good
Hold me good
All through the night

If I let you
If I let you
If I let you
Comfort me

I’ll be good
I’ll be good
I’ll be just fine
If you’re true
If you’re good
If you’ll be mine

If you let me
If you let me
If you let me
Comfort you

La La La La….

We’ll be good
We’ll be good
We’ll be alright
We’ll grow old
Like we should
Softly goodnight

If you let me
If you let me
If you let me
Comfort you

If I let you
If I let you
If I let you
Comfort me
Comfort me
Comfort me
Please come for me.
Track Name: Leave It Alone
Why don’t you leave it
Why don’t you leave it
Alone

Why don’t you leave it
Why don’t you leave it
Alone

That scab’s been picked
Many times before

Those rocks in your pocket
Weigh you down
Those ducks made a pond
From a puddle on the ground

Why don’t you leave it
Why don’t you leave it
Alone

Why don’t you leave it
Why don’t you leave it
Alone

There are lotions & potions
To make you young
And a rabbit’s foot
Will keep you safe from harm

But, just a little sun & water will make your roots take hold.

Leave it alone
Leave it alone
