Wandering high Wandering low Some people fly Some people don't I waited by the river For you to come I wanted to put all of myself Where you had gone I pulled off my stockings And waded through the shallow pools Watched tiny bumps creep over my limbs And wondered if I'd lost or won I rolled around inside your skin Then looked at what I'd done A little angel all pressed in She's left behind her soul and run Wandering high Wandering low Some people fly Some people won't

I have a home where you sleep I know it's one I'll always keep Where you've waited Watched as I grow Knowing one day you would watch as I go You've heard it all on my end You've patiently loved all that I've been And you've waited for me to know All of the things that you just couldn't show Long nights in the car when I hated the dark You held me till the sound of the first morning lark And when everything fades I still have your face Through the best and the worst of the days Yeah when everything fades I still have your face Through the best and the worst of the days And when you're old one day Slow in your step Withered and grey You'll have a home where I've slept Laughter was shared, secrets were kept Where you've waited, watched as I grow Watched as I learned all the things I now know Those long nights in the car when I hated the dark Now I'll hold you till the sound of the last morning lark And when everything fades You'll still have my face Through the best and the worst of the days Yeah when everything fades You'll still have my face Through the best and the worst of your days

Oh Cindy Lou I've got a chore for you Go and turn this world upside down Don't let them say It's too strong for you 'Cause I've seen you holding your ground Oh Cindy Lou With those socks of blue You're the smallest one in this town But there ain't nothin' That you can't do With those two small feet on the ground You lay the land And you sure as hell weren't planned You understand All those tiny, tied-up hands Oh Cindy Lou They've got a job for you And I hope you won't turn it down You fixed your town Now fix our planet too 'Cause there's not much left here but sound

In the day When I wake To the sound of your voice In the night When we fight Over corners of a quilt Right then I know That you're the only pea for me And we will live our lives In wholesome greenery In our tiny pod down by the sea Until some farmer sets us free Though we'll be snug On our rug With little pea-pod tassels From pea-pod castles We'll always have the stars above To make us feel like all the world's at our feet And though the day will come When you and I will be Tucked into our corner Of sweet security Only to have the ground shift Under our feet No way, no how will that be No way, no how will that be No way will that be our defeat Ba da da da... So let the farmer come And pick us from Our perch up in a tree Somewhere by the sea 'Cause he don't know The rules of ancient love That's binding you to me Organic chemistry So let them wash and toss us And juggle us around 'Cause there is no erasing This love that we have found And in the end we both will ultimately Be swallowed simultaneous... Be swallowed simultaneous... Be swallowed simultaneously Ooo... So let the farmer come And pick us from Our perch up in a tree Somewhere by the sea 'Cause he don't know The stuff of ancient love That's binding me to you In ways they can't undo So let them wash and toss us And juggle us around 'Cause there is no erasing This love that we have found And in the end we both will ultimately Be swallowed simultaneous... Be swallowed simultaneous... Be swallowed simultaneously

Have you heard them Ringing the bells It's hiding time And you know it well See their feet From under the couch Don't make a sound And you won't be found But look I think they're turning away Let's make a break A clean getaway And just keep Running and running And running and running Till I can't feel it Running and running And running and running Don't let them steal it now Splash the paint All over the walls It's high time They knew us as well Tip the jars And dance on the scales Leave muddy footprints On clean windowsills But oh, they will get there too late The storm in their eyes will be all in vain 'Cause we'll be Running and running And running and running Till I can feel it Running and running And running and running They'll never steal it now Running and running And running and running Till I can feel it I'm running and running And running and running They'll never steal it now

Oh, Elyse You sit there every night Wishing away your whole short life Don't you know That the stars will lose their light So it's on you To get this one right Hold your breath, close your eyes Jump right to the other side Don't look back, don't think twice 'Cause you'll feel it when you fly Ba dum, ba dum... So it's cold But the wind can feel so nice Give it a chance I know you want to try Go be bold Take the whiplash in your stride Write your own story And pick the end you like Just hold your breath, close your eyes Jump right to the other side Don't look back, don't think twice 'Cause you'll feel it when you fly Ba dum, ba dum... You tiptoe on eggshells and wrap up your heart Then watch things fall apart So stamp all those eggshells and toss in your heart 'Cause this is where we start Hold your breath, close your eyes Jump right to the other side Don't look back, don't think twice 'Cause you'll feel it when you fly Hold your breath, close your eyes Jump right to the other side Don't look back, don't think twice 'Cause you'll feel it when you fly Ba dum, ba dum... You'll fly...
