Verse:
I count 7 days
since last Saturday
I’ve been keepin’ them
like they’re my sobriety chips
I count 7 days
wish I could skip away
it’d be better than
waitin’, wonderin’, how I lost you
Pre-Chorus
you’re so bright
I’m so blue
you’re so tough
and i’m still breakin’ for you
Chorus
my heart won’t quit
though the Man has played His cards
my head loses wit
when I start to care at all
I’m a weak old girl
losing myself to you
but I’ll still try my luck
at the next round of fools
Verse:
I count 7 days
Like they’ll just drift away
If I can’t care for them
Then what’s the point of holding onto you
Pre-Chorus
you’re so bright
I’m so blue
you’re so tough
and i’m still breakin’ for you
Chorus
my heart won’t quit
though the Man has played His cards
my head loses wit
when I start to care at all
I’m a weak old girl
losing myself to you
but I’ll still try my luck
at the next round of fools

Catch You

Verse
You say you’re thinking of moving, well I’m thinking of moving too
you’re an inch short of a fair warning and I know the market’s never been this good
there’s a clear break for healing, it’s a blue sky for a ceiling
if I could catch the rays, teach the sun how to behave
Chorus
maybe I could catch you
Verse
You say you’re thinking of quitting , well I’m thinking of quitting too
It’s some hard times for a girl waiting and I’m growing older lyin’ next to you
I’m a free bird in motion, you’re a prayin’ man with no devotion
If I could rewrite the word, show your God I know my worth
Chorus
maybe I could catch you
Bridge
Think of me sweetly, I’m countin’ my dreams about you
I’ll write one more song though they all turn out so wrong and about you
‘cuz I reaped all the benefits of loving
mastered my defence to hide all my blushing
caught up in the lies we always kept on telling, like anything was ever gonna happen
I only know your body as a weapon
taking no time to try and rip me open
how to know?
there’s no hope
that I could catch you

Don't Be a Stranger

Verse:
Don’t be a stranger
When you take me to bed
Baby I’m here so we must’ve
Known each other outside this den
don’t play the man
Who knows better
We both know you’re just made of sand
Fall through my hands
Verse:
Don’t be a victim
When I ask for your help
Baby I’ll need you and need to
Know if you’re gonna be around
I’m only a human you’re using
I hope it’s ok if I tell
All about my doubts
Bridge:
Down I go
No man to hold me
Try to maintain my pride
Among your lies
Sold on the art
no mind for the heart
Meet me round by your tools
I’ll fit into the mould of something

Verse
Do you think about those things we said we’d do?
Back when my skirts were long, and stares felt shorter too
I’ve grown an inch since then, or maybe five at short
I hope you’re singing still, Ma always loved your sort
Did you move out fast? Just like you spoke about
I’m sure your hair grew long, but your jeans are still cut short
I see your sister ‘round, she’s got a laugh like yours
I hope you sing about, our summer, after course
Chorus
Well I’m a long long ways, away from home
And I’m not sure if I still belong
I’ll try to look back to what we both would say
But I think I might just go back
To Kempenfelt Bay
Verse
I’ve got a job downtown, not much to brag about.
I spend my nights alone, oh just tryin’ to catch my thoughts
I saw a man like you, stood tall with shoulders taut
I like to wonder ‘bout, the girl whose heart you caught
Chorus
Well I’m a long long ways, away from home
And I’m not sure if I still belong
I’ll try to look back to what we both would say
But I think I might just go back
To Kempenfelt Bay
Bridge
the moon is dimming, and I’m tired of swimming
Through my pools of linen, regrets of careful women
I’ll just close my window, so the night seems thinner
Through my room of feverless sighs
Chorus
Well I’m a long long ways, away from home
And I’m not sure if I still belong
I’ll try to look back to what we both would say
But I think I might just go back
To Kempenfelt Bay
