I'd run the risk of losing everything
Sell all my things, become nomadic
I'd run the risk, and just in case, I might
Sell all my things and become the night
Oh, it's hard to believe
It's even irrational for me
I'm cynical, a mess
I'm touch starved and shameless
Mm-hmm
But I'd rather be alone than a stranger
You'd come visit me late at night
I'd rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time
I'd run the risk of losing everyone
I'd sail and say my phone was overboard
I'd run the risk, and just in case, I might
Take a ship around the world to find
Oh, where you hid the key?
It's even irrational for me
It's chemical, obsessed
I'll blame you for locking me in
Mm-hmm, ah
But I'd rather be alone than a stranger
You'd come visit me late at night
I'd rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time
It's always the same
Always the same
Every time I see someone new
I just think of you, nothing I do
Can help it now
Guess I'll have to find
That I'd rather be alone than a stranger
You'd come visit me late at night
I'd rather wake up alone than be reminded
Of how it was a dream this time
It was a dream this time
It was a dream this time

Sexy To Someone
Sexy to someone is all I really want
Sometimes sexy to someone is all I really want
Nothing more, nothing less of thought walking through the park
Sexy to someone, I think about it all
Checking out of the hotel or moments at a bar
Ask if I'm in a movie, no, I didn't get the part
Sexy to somebody, it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it's just a little thing I can't live without
Sexy to something, I see in everything
Honey stickin' to your hands, sugar on the rim
Nothing more, nothing less of thought
Take it all to heart
I want afterglowing and when I call a car
Send me eyes with the knowing that I could pull it off
Ask if I'm doing TV, no, I didn't get the job
Sexy to somebody, it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it's just a little thing I can't live without
I want to be sexy to someone (is it too much to ask?)
I want to be sexy to someone (then what's holding you back?)
I want to be sexy to someone (it's not too much to ask)
Sexy to someone
Sexy to somebody, it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it's just a little thing I can't live without
Sexy to somebody, it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it's just a little thing I can't live without
Sometimes sexy to someone is all I really want
Nothing more, nothing less of thought walking through the park
Sexy to someone, I think about it all
Checking out of the hotel or moments at a bar
Ask if I'm in a movie, no, I didn't get the part
Sexy to somebody, it would help me out
Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house
And it's just a little thing I can't live without
Sexy to something, I see in everything
Honey stickin' to your hands, sugar on the rim
Nothing more, nothing less of thought
Take it all to heart
I want afterglowing and when I call a car
Send me eyes with the knowing that I could pull it off
Ask if I'm doing TV, no, I didn't get the job

Oh, I need a reason to get out of the house

Second Nature
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-dum-dum-dum
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum-dum
It's when you're close enough to touch
I've forgotten the point
My train of thought destroyed
It's when you're loud enough to cut
In and through all the noise
My train of thought destroyed
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
It's when you're close enough to love
I move without a void
My train of thought destroyed
And when I tell you, "It's because
I've known you well before"
My train of thought destroyed
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
Soon you'll realize too
How it, it aligns you
Ought to know, know the
Know the truth
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-dum-dum-dum
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum-dum
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
Da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-da-da-dum-dum
It's when you're close enough to touch
I've forgotten the point
My train of thought destroyed
It's when you're loud enough to cut
In and through all the noise
My train of thought destroyed
And once you get in my ear
I see kismet sinking in
It's second nature
Like the sap from a cedar
Rolling down to be near her
It's second nature
It's when you're close enough to love
I move without a void
My train of thought destroyed
And when I tell you, "It's because

Slow Dance
Da-dum, da-dum, da-dum, da-dum
When the moon begins to hide
It's not over
And the window turnin' white
Does not mean goodbye
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
What is it that's keeping one foot out
And the other crawling in bed?
And what is it that's keeping you alone
And leaving after we slow dance?
Then we fall back in routine
It can't be over
And I remember everything
You used to know her
But I could trace it all the way back
I could trace it all the way back
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
What is it that's keeping one foot out
And the other crawling in bed?
And what is it that's keeping you alone
And leaving after we slow dance?
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
When the moon begins to hide
It's not over
And the window turnin' white
Does not mean goodbye
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
What is it that's keeping one foot out
And the other crawling in bed?
And what is it that's keeping you alone
And leaving after we slow dance?
Then we fall back in routine
It can't be over
And I remember everything
You used to know her
But I could trace it all the way back
I could trace it all the way back
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down
I know you've got people to turn to
What is it that's keeping one foot out
And the other crawling in bed?
And what is it that's keeping you alone
And leaving after we slow dance?
And too, when candles burn out and the record is faded down

Thank You
Sometimes I wonder if you were the one
When you opened the door, cracked me wide open
Somethin' about it doesn't sit right with me
And how could it be?
When I walk away, it always comes in threes
We don't get on, can't make you laugh, personality
But I don't invest the way I'd prefer
Someone doin' me
I really hate to admit it
I put my pride on the line
'Cause when I met you, I knew it
I'd thank you for your time
I'd thank you for your time
Thank you for the time
Sometimes I want somebody to see me
How you opened my doors and left them wide open
Why doesn't this happen more naturally?
If I tried, maybe
When you're lonely, you'll just do anything
To drink it all up, the feeling is the memory
That's when it all aligns, I can really see
But you're meant to me
I really hate to admit it
I put my pride on the line
'Cause when I met you, I knew it
I'd thank you for your time
I'd thank you for your time
Thank you for the time
All because of you
All because of you
I really hate to admit it
I put my pride on the line
'Cause when I met you, I knew it
I'd thank you for your time
I'd thank you for your time
Thank you for the time
When you opened the door, cracked me wide open
Somethin' about it doesn't sit right with me
And how could it be?

Terrapin
We can go wherever we want
The plains, the sand, the salt, the dust
You can say whatever you want
I don't care, I'm already gone
We could drive a mile down the road
To get a drink or two, you know
Simple thing, I don't need much to like, I find
And I, and I guess I don't cry
It's a simple thing we're all afraid and shy away
Now I find
I guess I don't shy
I guess I don't shy
I guess that I don't cry
I guess that I don't shy
The plains, the sand, the salt, the dust
You can say whatever you want
I don't care, I'm already gone
We could drive a mile down the road
To get a drink or two, you know
Simple thing, I don't need much to like, I find
And I, and I guess I don't cry
It's a simple thing we're all afraid and shy away
Now I find
I guess I don't shy
I guess I don't shy
I guess that I don't cry
I guess that I don't shy

Juna
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Come to me slowly
It's when you talk close enough
That I feel it on my skin, breathing it in
Most of these days (most of these days)
I don't get too intimate
Why would I let you in? (Why would I let you in?)
But I think again
I don't even try
I don't have to think
With you, there's no pretending
You know me, you know me
And I just might know you too, know you
Come to me ready
You make me wanna go dancing
You make me wanna try on feminine
You make me wanna go buy a new dress
You make me wanna slip off a new dress
Don't even try
I don't have to think
With you, there's no pretending
You know me, you know me
And I just might know you too, ooh
Come to me slowly
Come to me slowly
It's when you talk close enough
That I feel it on my skin, breathing it in
Most of these days (most of these days)
I don't get too intimate
Why would I let you in? (Why would I let you in?)
But I think again
I don't even try
I don't have to think
With you, there's no pretending
You know me, you know me
And I just might know you too, know you
Come to me ready
You make me wanna go dancing
You make me wanna try on feminine
You make me wanna go buy a new dress
You make me wanna slip off a new dress
Don't even try
I don't have to think
With you, there's no pretending
You know me, you know me

Add Up My Love
If I could wait for a time to be sad about it, sad about it
I'd choose a day when you'd gone away
And dine all alone upstate, all the way upstate
Do you miss my hand swingin' on the back of your neck?
It's just somethin' I'm into
Do you miss my name sittin' in between your breath?
I remember when I see the moon
Add up my love (ooh)
Add up my love
Honey, was it enough? (ooh)
Is it ever enough?
If I could wait for a time to be mad about it, mad about it
I'd choose a day when you're on the way
And I can say it to your face, say it to your face
Do you miss my love? You're comin' back from the rain
It's just somethin' I miss too
Do you miss all the ways I put you in your place?
Is it you? I go with my attitude
Add up my love (ooh)
Add up my love
Honey, was it enough? (ooh)
Is it ever enough?
Add up my love (ooh)
Add up my love
Honey, was it enough? (ooh)
Is it ever enough?
Add up my love (ooh)

Echo
There is something that I need from you
And you're the only one that knows
And if I told the world I needed you
Would you hear your name echo? (Echo)
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh
Our love is meant to be shared
While our love goes nowhere
There's a secret I can't keep from you
And I think you already know
It's in the things I see in you
And what you notice, I echo (echo)

Glory of the Snow
I can feel there's something in the between
For a moment, I heard you talking to me
When I drive, I always check over the seat
I could see you right there waving at me
I pull on the string that burns me to memories of the way I loved you
I push on the door, the one I've ignore, the one that leads me to you
Glory of the snow
I'm waking up and now I know
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
Mm, mm, mm
I can see there's someone looking for me
For a moment, I heard the rustling leaves
When I cry, I wanna give you a ring
I can breathe with you right there, hold onto me
I dust the windows, the shutters that channels, is it paper and pen?
Sweeping under rugs, the one I always knock on, go on dance on again
Glory of the snow
I'm waking up and now I know
For a moment, I heard you talking to me
When I drive, I always check over the seat
I could see you right there waving at me
I pull on the string that burns me to memories of the way I loved you
I push on the door, the one I've ignore, the one that leads me to you

Pier 4
And if you need to disappear
You'll have no reason to be sad at all
You'll strike your own matches to walls
We catch an eye while you play sad and soft
And if you're walking home alone
You'll find a reason, you'll just chalk it up
To being different, being young
And wonder why no one knew you at all
Oh, you're just playin' dumb
What's the cost of it? Of being loved?
When close is not close enough
Where's your line? When do you draw?
When close is not close enough
And when you find you're at the pier
Playing out moments when there was a touch
With strangers touching everywhere
You wonder if he knows she's gonna run
Oh, it's somethin' you've done
Open my hands and I know I've shed some
When close is not close enough (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Where's the fun in it?
And now I'm too tough (ooh, ooh, ooh)
From close being just too much
You'll have no reason to be sad at all
You'll strike your own matches to walls
We catch an eye while you play sad and soft
And if you're walking home alone
You'll find a reason, you'll just chalk it up
To being different, being young
And wonder why no one knew you at all
Oh, you're just playin' dumb
What's the cost of it? Of being loved?
When close is not close enough
Where's your line? When do you draw?
When close is not close enough
And when you find you're at the pier
Playing out moments when there was a touch
With strangers touching everywhere
You wonder if he knows she's gonna run
Oh, it's somethin' you've done
Open my hands and I know I've shed some
When close is not close enough (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Where's the fun in it?
And now I'm too tough (ooh, ooh, ooh)
From close being just too much
