My Own Mountain

You were my mountain. Solid, steady, constant
I could hold onto you, unlike anyone I knew
How strong you stood there, as I blossomed around you
I held so close to you, I knew I could depend on you
You were my mountain
I gave my heart to you
Until the hard rainfall came crashing down on you
You were my mountain
Though cracks were coming through
No matter how I tried I couldn't help you
And so I learn to be my own mountain
You are not helpless, you're an amazing piece
Of this wide landscape, you are the eyes that see
And when they earth shakes as it is prone to do
Why do you blame the sky for what it does to you
You were my mountain
I gave my heart to you
Until the hard rainfall came crashing down on you
You were my mountain
Though cracks were coming through
No matter how I tried I couldn't help you
And so I learn to be my own mountain
You were my mountain
I gave my heart to you
Until the hard rainfall came crashing down on you
You were my mountain
Though cracks were coming through
No matter how I tried I couldn't help you
And so I learn to be my own mountain

Love Me Lightly
02:51

I really wanna talk to you
But there’s nothing I can say to you
Everything’s been said
Drilled into my head
I really wanna be with you
But sometimes I don’t want to do
The things you want me to
and then I’m feeling blue
I just want somebody who loves me
Not somebody who always has to hold me so tightly.
Love me, but lightly
I love that I connect with you
The music that we make is true
I think that we could be
Together faithfully
But then you have to criticize
All the things I do beside
The things I do with you
You want all my time too
I just want somebody who loves me
Not somebody who always has to hold me so tightly.
Love me, but lightly
You told me I was cold to you
but I just feel so strong for you
that I get overwhelmed
When you hurt me I shut down
I just want somebody who loves me
Not somebody who always has to hold me so tightly.
Love me, but lightly

Hunger
02:37

How do I say it, I need to be real
The love you give me is so much to feel
Anticipating without complaining
I love this waiting, always creating
And then I see you, we cram the night in
All my confiding, to your inviting
It’s no conventional way of living, but it’s the way of our generation
I have a hunger, deep down was hiding
While these distractions were overtaking
I have a hunger and it is raging
No satisfaction without engaging
So calm and quiet, my sanctuary
The music playing, the hunger fading
The music playing, my hunger fading

Here

I want to be myself
Though It doesn’t fit with anyone else
I want to be with you
But I’m so tired of being misunderstood
And I do love you
But I don’t know how to be who I am
Without making you feel like
I’m not really yours
I don't belong here
But still I have a place here
Here, here, here, here, here.
I don’t belong here
But still I have a place here
Here, here, here, here, here.
I want to be happy
It doesn’t always happen I know
To everybody
But I’m comfortable with being alone
My love is bigger
Bigger than it seems to be
But the expression of my love
Gets stuck in my brain
At least in my head
I always have a place here
Here, here, here, here

See Me Still
02:55
|

|
Even though you took away, two years
Every song and every friend you gave
And I freely held what you gave me until I caused you pain
You told your friends that you’d never see me again
but you did anyway
Funny it worked out that way
Started like a fantasy, serendipity
But I couldn’t get what I needed and you couldn’t get what you needed
And now you’re afraid to tell them that you see me still
You’re afraid to tell them that you see me still
You see me still
Strange it is to hide away
Held so close in secrecy
You were so proud to be carrying my torch
It was so hard for you not to show your heart
As much as you could to everyone
Now you’re afraid to tell them that you see me still
You’re afraid to tell them that you see me still
You see me still

Loneliness
02:38

My home is dark within my windows
Outside the moon is covered by a silvery pillow
It’s calm and peaceful
Maybe I can stay forever in my head
I want you to know
loneliness is only an illusion
It’s no stronger than me
I want you to stay
Occupy this space with me together
Alone, alone with me
We could be something, But we don’t have to be, We can just enjoy the silence We can let it breathe
Strangely we are never more apart than when we are together…
I want you to know
loneliness is only an illusion
It’s no stronger than me
I want you to stay
Occupy this space with me together
Alone, alone with me
Alone, alone
