Say that you love me

don’t let me slip away

break through illusion

and take a leap today.

Here at the crossroads

we’re suspended in our minds

waiting and hoping

we will not be left behind.

Cause I want to be with you

but I need a place to start

I’m surrounded and captured

by the armies of your heart

And I feel so alive when I sing,

and I hope you’ve realized:

Higher and higher

and higher as we climb

birds on a wire

we’re frozen in the sky

Paint me a doorway

and I’ll magic you a key

tell me a story

where the hero sets me free…

Cause I want to be with you

but I need a place to start

I’m surrounded and captured

by the armies of your heart

And I feel so alive - so I sing

and I hope you’ve realized:

I will stay here

safe and sheltered in your palm

till it’s time to wing towards the sun.

Tiger, tiger burning bright

running swiftly through the night

Hunted down and caught in flight;

who will save you now?

..cause I want to be with you

and I knew it from the start

I’m surrounded and captured

by the armies of your heart

And I feel so alive

When I sing and I follow

as the melody takes flight

Yeah, I feel so alive

when the song disappears into the sky

it is time.

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives, not looking for flaws, but for potential.

I think a lot of overweight girls are hypocrites. I’m naturally tall and skinny, I eat what I want, I don’t starve myself and I am beautiful. So why are you allowed to love your ‘curves’ but it’s wrong for me to love my ‘bones’? Why is it okay to call me anorexic, but horrible for me to call you fat? If you can tell me to ‘gain weight’, why cant I tell you to lose weight? If you can feel beautiful being big, I can feel beautiful being small.

“Fix You”

When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I…

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I…

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Having troubles telling how I feel
But I can dance, dance and dance
Couldn’t possibly tell you how I mean
But I can dance, dance, dance
So when I trip on my feet
Look at the beat
The words are, written in the sand
When I’m shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are, written in the air
Dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
Easy conversations, there’s no such thing
No I’m shy, shy, shy
My hips they lie ‘cause in reality I’m shy, shy, shy
But when I trip on my feet
Look at the ground
The words are, written in the dust
When I’m shaking my hips
Look for the swing
The words are written in the air
Dance
I was a dancer all along
Dance, dance, dance
Words can never make up for what you do
Dance, dance, dance

Nothing is sexier to your soulmate than being yourself
