Lyrics
Nothing Less
Where Lovers Go
If you’re on the road to lonely street
Looking for a train
Searching for a love that’s sweet
Right past all the pain
When you you’re tired of the rain
Waiting for a change
Tired of the rain waiting for a change
Follow me where lovers go
Deep inside the heart
Without words your soul will know
Wether near or far
When you you’re tired of the rain
Waiting for a change
Tired of the rain waiting for a change
Love somebody well
But don’t love too much
Love somebody still
Right down to the touch you’ll know it’s real
If you’re on the road to lonely street
Looking for a train
Searching for a love that’s sweet
Right past all the pain
When you you’re tired of the rain
Waiting for a change
Never mind the rain
Sun’ll come again
Until Then
Until Then
(written by Jenni Alpert and David Oliver Willis)
I’ve been waiting for love to come
All my life to meet the one
And I know it wont be long
Until then I’m on my own
Eyes so sweet and a heart so warm
Honesty in all your charm
Yes I know it wont be long
Until then I’m on my own
So many times
I’ve been sad and blue
So wrong about so many of you
See love is kind and not untrue
Fine to wait right
Until the lovin’s good
I have opened up my soul
So I when i find you I’ll be sure
And I know it wont be long
Until then, I’m on my own
One of These Days
Want you to feel wanted all the time
Show you good lovin so you know you’re mine
One of these days and it wont be long
All of these shadows, oh they’ll be gone
Want you to see deep in my heart
Show you the truth in love from the start
One of these days and it wont be long
My love won’t be hidden in a love song
Don’t you cry for me I know not what I do
Don’t you lie for me cuz I will lie for you
You pick me up as I swallow my pride
You teach me to love when love abides
One of these days and it wont be long
All of these feelings, they won’t be wrong
One of these days and it wont be long
My love wont be hidden in a love song
Hurricane
Love you shuck me up like a hurricane
With no novocain, to ease the pain
Love, you took me down and with no refrain
Driving me insane, will you go or will you stay
The places you hide, the faces you’ve been
You’re a disguise and your under my skin
Can we survive this mess we’re in
When realize that we’re just strangers
You’re a disguise and your under my skin
Will we survive this mess we’re in
When realize that we’re just strangers
Love, a book of unspoken words
Oh, the letters blur as the pages turn
Love, sometimes you win and sometimes you hurt
Little things become absurd so what is worth?
Big Man
You think you might be tough enough
Well tough ain’t all it takes
Cause if I’m gonna open up
Wanna do it face to face
Been around enough to know
Just how it can taste
Cause if you’re gonna be w me
I wanna feel you quake
Cause it takes a big man
It takes a big man
It takes a big big man
baby to catch me when I fall
Oooh
If you’re going to hold my heart
Safely in your hands.
You’re gonna have to be real smart
You’ve got to understand
You been breakin hearts I know
You got no wedding band
But if you stake your claim on me
You’re gonna have to land
Oh and I fall so hard sometimes
and I need a man to trust and to hold
someone I can call my very own
So are you gonna step on up
Or will you just pretend
Cause if you do I’ll just say stop
Wont take you to the end
I need a man who knows my needs
One who won’t run when I say please
Cause baby if you want my love
You’re gonna have to see
It takes a big man
It takes a big big man
baby to catch me when I fall
For the Journey You’re On
Don’t be afraid my dear life is long
You can do with it what you want
Maybe a windy road you’re on
Come what may
Don’t look to far cuz where you are
Could be the brightest shining star
To lead you through the dark
And show you the way
They say that love is give and take
Make no make mistake
She don’t keep score
She may give what she wants
Take then she’s gone
Leave you her song for the journey you’re on
You may find when you believe
That nothin’s what it seems
And you can awaken all your dreams
If you dare
Don’t run away when you don’t know
Which way you should go
Oh the heart will know for sure
And show you the way
Cuz love is give and take
Make no make mistake
She don’t keep score
She may give what she wants
Take then she’s gone
Leave you her song
For the journey you’re on
When your heart is breakin
And you’re sinking like a stone
You’re whole body aching
Never been this quite alone
Maybe it’s the perfect pain
To show what love really means
Cuz love is give and take
Make no make mistake
She don’t keep score
She may give what she want
Take then she’s gone
Leave you her song
For the journey you’re on
Don’t be afraid my dear life is long
You can do with it what you want
Up In The Air
I’m right where I belong
Playin guitar and singing songs
These words are all I own
I’ll keep going but I’m not gone
People think that I just don’t care
Bout making sense and brushing my hair
Pulled up my roots, they ain’t grown anywhere
People say I’m up in the air
Folks they pass on by
Straight ahead and keeping time
This road is all I know
Speaking prose and singing rhyme
People think that I just don’t care
Cuz I don’t drive truck and I don’t drink beer
Pennies in this cup wont make a million air
Guess you could say that I’m up in the air
Up in the air where feet don’t need no shoes
Up in the air wether skies are gray or blue
Up in the air there’s nothing to loose
They don’t know but I do
People think that I just don’t care
But they don’t know what’s goin on in here
Got a head a head full of dreams that could go anywhere
Guess you could say i’m up in the air
Miscellaneous Lyrics
Gamble Everything for Love
In the dark she runs, runnin all she can
Hiding from love, the love of a man
Not enough to stay, something always in the way
But just as she strays, ooh she hears him say
With a broken heart of trust
Do what you must but whatever you dream of
Gamble everything for love
Towards the light she sways, to roll the dice hard ways
As the elders say, to win you’ve got to play
Not enough to stay, something always in the way
But just as she strays, again she hears him say
with a broken heart of trust
Do what you must
But whatever you dream of
Gamble everything for love
Gamblers or lovers, either one they are the same
The truth will be discovered
When you play the game
Don’t Wait
Don’t wait for the dream to come know when it’s just begun
Don’t wait for the dream to come know when it has begun
In a time when the world is so cold
In a time when you feel so all alone
Just don’t wait for the dream to come, know when it has begun
With your heart give all that you can give
With your heart live all that you can live …. listen
Just don’t wait for the dream to come, know when it has begun
There might be doubt it your way
There might be clouds in your day
Hold on to now, for tomorrow there’ll be sunshine again
Be Your Baby
I wanna love you each and every day
I wanna know you in every kind of way
Cuz lovin you makes me feel whole inside
And when lovin is this real there is nothing I can hide
I wanna be your babe tonight
I wanna hold you each and every night
I wanna show you every thing’s alright
Sometimes it’s true that i am a bit unsure
But when i’m with you there’s nothin I want more
Reason
Give me a reason to believe you
When you say not to leave you
In hopes my feelings haven’t changed
I need a simple sign that tells me
That what we have is how it should be
A love that’s not in vain
Darling I’ll tell you that i love you
I wont let go
Darlin i’ll tell you that my faith inside hasn’t died
So believe me when I say
Don’t let the little things get in the way
There’s nothing more I really need
Other then loving you
I give you all the time you need
So you won’t wonder what you mean to me
And if I loved you all the way
I go along with the games you play
And listen to thew things you say
And baby I still feel the same
Darling I’ll tell you that I love you
I wont let go
Darlin I’ll tell you that my faith inside hasn’t died
So believe me when I say
Don’t let the little things get in the way
There’s nothing more i really need
Other then loving you
There’s somethin you should know
How sad I would be if you were ever to go
But I’d rather you love me and leave me alone
Then to cheat me and lie to yourself
Take it All
Listen To Your Heart
(written by Jenni Alpert, Phil Brooks, Cristi Vaughan)
Your boss is telling you to say
Your wife is telling you to leave
Your brother’s telling you to move
And no one’s listening
You’ve got no words left to say
You don’t know what to do
The feeling is the same
Cuz they’re not hearing you
They think they all know
How you’re story goes
But you’re the dreamer of your own dream
So, listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
It’s where to start
So listen to your heart
Your friends tell you what to think
Your mind wants to be free
All you can do is scream
Cuz no one’s listening
They think they all know
How you’re story goes
But you’re the dreamer of your own dream
No one can tell you what is wrong or what is right
It’s never black or white
Nothin ever stays the same
No No nothin ever stays the same
Don’t be afraid to pave the way
To carve your name in some new place
To make that change…….
Who We Are
(written by Jenni Alpert and Mikal Blue)
I hear your voice in my head
and i know something’s wrong
you made a choice is what you said
now you’re barely holding on
we all make mistakes but i know you don’t belong
somewhere where inside your heart is breaking
who we are what we were doesn’t matter when we’re gone
i want you to know for what it’s worth my love for you is strong
and you’re not alone
this time it’s all out of your hands but i know the truth
and for you I will stand til the end I will see you through
no matter what it takes there’s nothing I won’t do
to get there, and spare your heart from aching
cuz who we are what we were doesn’t matter when we’re gone
i want you to know for what it’s worth my love for you is strong
and you’re not alone
When it’s hard and you try but you can’t fight it
I’ll be there, I’m on your side, and I will right
it cuz who we are what we were doesn’t matter when we’re gone
i want you to know for what it’s worth my love for you is strong
cuz who we are what we were doesn’t matter when we’re gone
i want you to know for what it’s worth my love for you is strong
and you’re not alone
The One
(written by Jenni Alpert and Justin Andres)
The best of me has yet to come
The rest of me has shed it’s skin
I am open now awake and alive
and my heart is breathing you
open now and a little wiser (cuz)
The best of you here all along
Showing truth and what went wrong
I am open now awake and alive
and my heart is beating true
open now just a little wiser (cuz)
you are the one
the one for me
the one who helps me see
that the one who believes
is the one that’s meant to be the one
With or without you in my life
Always you’ll be in my mind
A love like this hard to fight
The reminder of you is enough to know why
you are the one
the one for me
the one who helps me see
that the one who believes
is the one that’s is meant to be the one
Sweet Talk
(written by Jenni Alpert)
All the things I wanted
Were right here in front of me
To many times I walked the line
Hopin, but things don’t come so easily
You …..you ground me
No matter what’s goin on
And you, you found me
Now all my bad days are gone
Sweet talk to me
And tell me things
Like you love me
And you’re never gonna let me down
And I’ll sweet talk to you
And tell you true
I need you
Cuz your love is why my is love is all around
So now I’m givin you my permission
To bring fire to my ice and make it melt
Cuz I realize it was really my omission
That I don’t need anybody else
I’m so glad you found me… oh oh oh
So sweet talk to me
And tell me things
Like you love me
And you’re never gonna let me down
And I’ll sweet talk to you
And tell you true
I need you
Cuz your love is why my is love is all around
Heaven
(written by Jenni Alpert)
sitting in my car
trying to remember
all the things you said to me
sitting next to me
spending our whole lives making up for what our parents
try to get over it
embrace the taste in my mouth so bitter
heaven is a place I’m running from
don’t know what’s real don’t think I’ll heal
don’t want to do what I should
heaven is a place I’m running from
don’t know what’s real don’t think I’ll heal
don’t want to be good for you
embrace the silence
but I want you there empty and screaming
never know what it feels to love while receiving
traces of wasted on my face,
drunk and I’m drowning in your wisdom
why didn’t I listen now I’m caught in memories of you
heaven is a place I’m running from
don’t know what’s real don’t think I’ll heal
don’t want to do what i should
heaven is a place I’m running from
don’t know what’s real don’t think I’ll heal
don’t want to be good for you
Real Thing
(written by Jenni Alpert)
i don’t want your anything
you’re in between
your maybe, your unspoken dreams
all i want is honest
to know what to believe
a love that i can feel and i can touch and i can see
don’t wanna be a fantasy
holdin on to make believe
livin on a string, of silent memories
all i want is to be free
to give you everything
so we can be
the real thing babe
show me the real thing babe
i want the real thing
show me the real thing
it’s never too late
to give what you take
what you don’t say tells the truth
you made me realize
the part inside that wants to hide
is ready to settle up the score
i just cant fight it anymore
cuz i want the real thing babe
so show me the real thing
i want the real thing
show me the real thing
cuz i am real thing babe
show me the real thing
i want the real thing
show me the real thing
ahhhhh
yeah I am real thing babe
show me the real thing
i’ll give you the real thing
i want the me real thing
Nobody Knows
(written by Jenni Alpert and Sarah Hethcoat)
Years go by
Tears we cry
Open up our eyes
Lessons learned
Whoo they burn
How we yearn
to come out on the other side
Who won’t run
Who will hold on
Who will see beyond the fight
Who will hear
Who won’t fear
Who will steer when we can’t drive
Changing tides coming around
Changing tides it all comes crashing down
Changing tides never made a sound
and now you scream out loud
All It Takes
(written by Jenni Alpert and Nick Bearden)
all it takes is a little love
and a moment of trust
and a little time to see
all it takes is a little touch
a vow not to give up
and a little faith in me
as the seasons drifts
and the tides they change
open up and give
cuz nothing stays the same
all it takes is little heart
a will to start
and a way to let things go
all it takes is a little smile
so wont you please stay a while
and soon enough you’ll know
as the seasons drifts
and the tides they change
open up and give
cuz nothing stays the same
i know things get tough
you wanna give up
just open up your eyes
though everything seems to hard
so bleak and so dark
just forget the reasons why
all it takes is a little love
and a moment of trust
and a little time to see
all it takes is a little touch
a vow not to give up
and a little faith in me
a little faith you’ll see
a little faith in me
I Will Love You
(written by Jenni Alpert and Jeff Babko)
In the dark I see your face
I don’t know how you’ve been
Time moves by without a trace
of where your life’s been spent
inside the lies, i know you’ve tried
to realize what went wrong
but now it’s best to let it rest
and let it go to move on
There may be those who see
only what they can
so when you need reminding
that you are a great man
inside the lies, i will try
to realize what went wrong
and when it’s best to let it rest
i will keep you strong
i’m ready for you babe
ready and i’m waiting
ready for you babe
for the time to love you right
and i will love you right
when they’ve got you down
when they’re holdin out
and you can’t breathe
just look my way
come what may
you’ve got me
i’m ready for you babe
ready and i’m waiting
ready for you babe
for the time to love you right
and i will love you right
Shining Light
(written by Jenni Alpert, Erik Florez, and Jomar Jay)
To get them through the day
Everybody wants somethin
To get them through the day
When everybody’s got nothin
To help with all the weight
I know it’s easier runnin
So you run as fast as you can
Well when you’re tired of running
You know where I am
If you’re willing to risk it all
And leave the fear behind
No matter how hard you fall
I’ll be your shining light
And love will be our guide
Everybody needs someone
to hold them through the night
A little strength to rely on
Add brightness to their life
I know it’s easier runnin
So you run as fast as you can
Well when you’re tired of running
You know where I am
If you’re willing to risk it all
And leave the fear behind
No matter how hard you fall
I’ll be your shining light
And love will be our guide
Take a chance on me
Take a chance you’ll see
Anything can be
What we want it to be
What we want it to be
so If you’re willing to risk it all
And leave the fear behind
No matter how hard you fall
I’ll be your shining light
And love will be our guide
All We Need is Love
(written by Jenni Alpert)
I don’t know why the world is spinning
the world is spinning in her own web
Think I’ll cry from all these images
swimming in my head
You know it’s time to make a change
for all the change we left to chance instead
So take a step now forward to the side now
and don’t you mind how to get ahead
All we need is love La la a ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
Don’t you know we’re just people
floatin in the same boats
Siftin through the same notes
to sing our songs
Yeah we’re all just people
wearin the same coats
Lookin for the same roads
to move along
Becomin our own tvs
livin like war movies
Hopes and dreams
just pages in magazines
Believin that we’re happy
finger tips from real things
Thinking that this is all we need
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
It’s a shame we’re all the same but we just don’t know it
Looking for familiar things to afraid to let go and
Oh I know that there is pain when you look a bit deeper
When you reach on down to the deep of it, the core of it,
You’ll notice this is what to live for
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
All we need is love La la la ah ah Love
Even When It Rains
(written by Jenni Alpert and Ian Tepper)
There is more to it than you think there is
There always more than meets the eye
As you try to make a new, do it for you and be mine
You thought you grew with everything you knew
But you’re still standing all alone
Well, I’ve been behind you
just to be right there beside you all along
Even when it rains
Sunshine will still remain
I’ll be the raincoat that you wear
When you’re umbrella isn’t there
To keep you dry and safe and warm inside my arms
It might seem a bit impossible
To think that my love is this strong
Just close your eyes dear,
take my hand and I’ll remind you to hold on
Cuz… even when it rains
Sunshine will still remain
I’ll be the raincoat that you wear
When you’re umbrella isn’t there
To keep you dry and safe and warm inside my arms
To keep you dry and safe and warm inside my arms
Cuz… even when it rains
Sunshine will still remain
I’ll be the raincoat that you wear
When you’re umbrella isn’t there
To keep you dry and safe and warm inside my arms
Underneath the Surface
You Will Come Back
(written by Jenni Alpert)
you will come back
through those tears I see your eyes
and all the beauty you have inside
but its days like these you can’t remember
cuz the pain you keep wont let you love her
but I know, you will come back you will come back to me
i know, you will come back you will come back to me
i know, I know, for you it won’t be easy
but you will come back, you will come back you will come back to me
little child locked outside no one to hold her when she cried
now you’d rather run instead of feel
so now you’re gone and I’m left here
i can’t breath without you can’t you see
cuz I can’t be without you you belong with me
Stupid
(written by Jenni Alpert)
you think you’re smart you’re so smart
you think you’re smart, you’re so smart
you think you’re smart, you’re so smart
stupid
holdin on to what he’s got
thinkin that he knows the lot of it
then he realizes he don’t know shit
the truth is relative the truth is relative
then why not give it all away
never mind what you’ll pay for it
come on now have a little faith
everybody’s playin games playin games
without shame yeah
everybody’s got their way
the truth is relative the truth is relative
everybody’s got their pain
shining through the needless gain of it
but it’s all right, it’s all right is it alright with you
you never know when the match’ll burn out
you’ll never know when you’ll learn how
just leap across because you yearn for it
it’s all an open book book no words inside
it’s all an open book book to rewrite
each time you take a look
look you forget why
so you look to someone else
instead of lookin at your self
Now You Know
(written by Jenni Alpert)
the hand of god at your finger tips
oh the glory of what you thought you knew
now you know that what you’ve learned,
you learned the hard way
the hand of god at your savoy lips
oh what you thought you would do
but now you know that what you’ve learned
you learned the hard way
you cross the line a thousand times
then made up your mind
you chose to decide and now you’re cryin
for all you never thought you’d choose
for all you never thought you’d loose
the hand of god inside your dreams
oh the mess of what you’ve seen
but now you know what you’ve learned
you learned the hard way
you think you know what’s best
until you see the mess you’ve created
and understated, just to get by
you cross the line a thousand times
then made up your mind
you chose to decide
and now you’re cryin
for all you never thought you’d choose
for all you never thought you’d loose
I’ll Be Gone
(written by Jenni Alpert)
you say that you love me but you gotta play dirty
you say that you want me but words are only skin deep baby
you say you’ll move mountains but there oceans between us
you say that you counting the ways to teach me how to swim
well babe, I got my vest on

another reason why so now you got me thinking
and it may be complicated but it’s not me that’s sinkin
cuz I got my vest on (babe)
and baby I’m not wrong

Simple Mood
(written by Jenni Alpert)
it’s like finding a simple mood
when I feel a melody capture the inside of me
the feeling that I belong in a different time of day
i’ll follow the hours as they pass by
suddenly I’m caught in the middle of nowhere
where the sun don’t shine and the moon don’t glow at all
it’s between the break of day and new September dawn
i’ll watch the seasons change even when I don’t belong
there’s more of me to be apart of this
cycle of evening rains and spinning stars in the sky
i want to loose control to fuel and feed it
but the dawns to weak and I’m to strong to cry
suddenly I’m caught in the middle of nowhere
where the sun don’t shine and the moon don’t glow at all
it’s between the break of day and new September dawn
i’ll watch the seasons change even when I don’t belong
suddenly I’m caught in the middle of nowhere
where the sun don’t shine and the moon don’t glow at all
it’s between the break of day and new September dawn
i’ll watch the seasons change even when I don’t belong
Untied
(written by Jenni Alpert)
when spring turns to summer I’m fallin to the ground
i miss my lover but he says needs time to come around
say you’ve got it all figured out you’ll return with style
as I pass the time your sweet caress haunts me all the while
i can’t resist you babe your touch does me just right
and I insist that babe you take me for a ride
you’ve got me untied
there’s nothin stoppin me, or what I wouldn’t do
you’re always so difficult and you play me for a fool
something between us I know you feel it too
in a flood of wine I’m dancing my river runs for you
i can’t resist you babe your touch does me just right
and I insist that babe you take me for a ride
you’ve got me untied

Tragedy
(written by Jenni Alpert and Marshall Altman)
you say you’re sober i say it’s over
it’s nobody’s fault but mine
the cash and the credit are overextended
but at least we’ve got our own piece of mind
oh the revolution
oh my guillotine
i’m just a tragedy
i’m on a losing streak
no one can save me from myself
i’ve gotten in to deep
exhausted but i can’t sleep
no one can save me from this hell
echo’s of promises drift through the curtains
like sun in the afternoon
all of them shadows of time that was wasted
on dreams that were not meant for you
oh the revolution oh my guillotine
i’m just a tragedy i’m on a losing streak
no one can save me from myself
i’ve gotten in to deep
exhausted but i can’t sleep
no one can save me from this hell
little birdy on the window
little birdy on the window sing me your song
little birdy on the window
winter is coming and it’s time to move along
i’m just a tragedy i’m on a losing streak
no one can save me from myself
i’ve gotten in to deep exhausted but i can’t sleep
no one can save me from this hell
no one can save me from myself
please save me from myself
Breathe In
(written by Jenni Alpert)
call me at eight in the morning until I will rise
see that I cannot believe it it’s all in your mind
you talk your head off till I see you, inside
we argue and argue and fuss and we fight till I know you’ll come home
so now it is time for a talk and a walk
and you just don’t know if you can handle at all what I’m saying to you
what I’m saying to you
breathe light inside and and love your self
calling and calling and screaming and wallow
inside what you are cuz you don’t know the farthest thing from you
all you can do is decide and rewind
to the place that wont harm you so no one can hear
what all the shouting is about
as we let it all out
breathe light inside and and love your self
Release Me
(written by Jenni Alpert)
all the things I gave to you and lost a long the way
we’re just light-years behind a dimming sky
all the things I waited for just to hear you say
you’re not leaving her and we must say goodbye
growing older is hard to do but it’s painful not to try
i’m as open as you wanted me but to empty now to cry
release me release me release me
maybe I’ll find home
release me release me release me
you never know until you try alone
all the things you asked of me I did without defense
i wanted to be better than before
the sky grew darker, and my mind farther from when it made sense
don’t want to wait to loose you anymore
growing older is hard to do but it’s painful not to try
i’m as open as you wanted me but to empty now to cry
release me release me release me
maybe I’ll find home
release me release me release me
you never know until you try alone
i might end up where I started from
don’t mind it’s worth the journey home
i’ve waited for so long its time you choose
you say you think we’re meant to be
but it you still love her then set me free
just give me something more to hold on to
release me release me release me
maybe I’ll come home
release me release me release me
you never know until you try alone
Say It Ain’t Over
(written by Jenni Alpert)
i don’t know why you’re on my mind
another night of sleepless calculations
feel oh so high then things don’t work out right
in times like these all love needs is a little restoration
when I feel I’ve had enough
when I feel like giving up
i close my eyes and reach for you
when I feel like times are tough
when I’m out of my good luck
i tell myself, there’s nothing time can’t do
so say it ain’t over
say it ain’t true
i’ll always be your lover
cuz my heart can’t live without you
say it ain’t over
say it ain’t true
i wont have no other
there’s nothin time (i) can’t do
to make you see, how good (my) (our) love can be
you put up a good fight
by blurin all the lines
hold yourself up high
burdened by empty consolations
so you say goodbye that you’re not a friend of time
cuz the pain inside binds your love
to resignation
when I feel I’ve had enough
when I feel like giving up
i close my eyes and reach for you
when I feel like times are tough
when I’m out of my good luck
i tell myself, there’s nothing time can’t do
With One Breath
(written by Jenni Alpert)
you think you know but then you don’t
you think you see but then you wont
you’ve read between the lines a thousand times
you think sure but then your not
you think its time but then you stop
cuz what you need might not be what you find
till you look inside yourself
and listen to the things that tell you
how to trust the feelings that you fear
it takes some time to recognize
the truth so clear that lies inside
with one breath you’ll know which one to hear
you think you love but then you give
you think you thought but then you live
the way to change is simply just to do
you think you’re lost but then you breathe
you take your time effortlessly
to learn the things that are best for you
so you look inside yourself
and listen to the things that tell you
how to trust the feelings that you fear
it takes some time to recognize
the truth so clear that lies inside
with one breath you’ll know which one to hear
time to open time to let go
let yourself trust
let your self know
you have all the love within that you’ll ever need
the mystery of life is so
to trust yourself you must let go
open up to all the things you fear
it takes some time to recognize
the truth so clear that lies inside
with one breath you’ll know which one to hear
Damage Done
(written by Jenni Alpert)
here I am familiar face a voice that is me
too proud to see the rocks are too heavy
feeling like boulders push away, pull me close
lay me down teach me to fly
the lonely divide
here’s my shell hammer away
i’m not afraid
reflections polished and clean not at all true, not at all me
child stay wise forget your self keep it all in and do it again
lay me down teach me to fly the lonely divide
here’s my shell hammer away
i’m not afraid
love is how we heal the damage that is done

Breakin Down
(written by Jenni Alpert)
i’m gonna shower you with goodness
i’m gonna give my love away
cuz you teach me forgiveness
and I love your ways
why complain about what we decide
life goes by to fast
loosing myself finding my face again
in the years that pass
i’m gonna shower you with goodness
i’m gonna give my love away
cuz you teach me forgiveness
and I love your ways
making a difference in loving those around
you making it right for those who hurt
letting things go don’t let them get the best of you
knowing what your worth
i’m gonna shower you with goodness
i’m gonna give my love away
cuz you teach me forgiveness
and I love your ways
and I’m breaking down breaking down
finally breaking down
i’m gonna shower you with goodness
i’m gonna give my love away
cuz you teach me forgiveness
and I love your ways
Something Beautiful
(written by Jenni Alpert and Ben Peeler)
cloudy eyes and silence
holds the secrets that bind us
seems the memories wont go away
but you try and try anyway
to sing something beautiful
to make you whole
sing something beautiful
to heal your soul
as we get older
hold on tighter to things we can’t see
but as I reach out
i hope you hold on to me
and sing something beautiful
that makes you whole
and I’ll sing something beautiful
to heal your soul
and sing something beautiful
to make you whole
i’ll sing something beautiful
to heal your, heal your soul
waits for the muse to sing him through days like these
wake in the morn drive in your car in the traffic
while everyone else is screaming, screaming
wish you were sleeping, sleeping
and the memories that we try to forget
as we regret we re-awake
and we’re reborn into something new
and we sing something beautiful to make us whole
i will, I will sing something beautiful to heal, heal your soul, your soul
Pieces
Baltimore
(written by Jenni Alpert)
old man river running dry pebble of desire
come kiss my eye
give me reason tell me why
so many people deny
the night grows thin the night grows cold
pack my bags back on the road
some people come some people go
leaving me with there bitter taste of gold
and i hope god is watching
i hope that he can see what we have done
built binary cities to keep from sinking
it’s as if the whole country is on the run
yeah old river you can’t reply to all my questions
but old river you can rely upon my face
cuz inside these eyes you’ll read their stories
a collection of each person’s simple grace
and each town seems to push me farther
far from myself I see a different view
and loss of child makes it much harder
people’s past makes my future blue
Fallin
(written by Jenni Alpert)
don’t need to see you
don’t need to feel you something’s on to us
the power to give is the power to loose
and I’ll be receiving
but you say bye to love hello farewell
wake me up cuz I’m fallin down down down
on borrowed time let me shine
let me fade how can you sit there
amongst my parade
laughing laughing it’s the luck of the draw
that I should love you away
but you say bye to love hello farewell
wake me up cuz I’m fallin down down down
All the Nothings
(written by Jenni Alpert)
suddenly I’m naked again
in the very same room as my child pen
only now I’m sitting beside the edge
cage blankets innocent wild
only now I’m not so far from that little child
i should believe in something
but something’s out of reach
i want to believe in something
more than the nothings we’re meant to believe
branded by fear that blinds me to see
that happiness is alll I’m supposed to need
but I’ll lie to myself to keep myself free
wondering what’s really happening
collecting all the pieces that bring me
back to this place besides this child’s cage
and I’m tired of wasting away in this ageless life
the cycles keep spinning me back
to the wrong from the right
and I’m desperately seeking
the moments of breathing
where everything might seem clearly again
i should believe in something
but something’s out of reach
I want to believe in something
more than the nothings
we’re meant to believe
Below Sea
(written by Jenni Alpert)
october moon and I’m settling down
waiting for things to come through to me
mind rests in June world moving in round
below sea
and I’m swimming, floating for you
feet dragging the ground
i fear I might drown
in the love that you give
hope that you bring
love that you give
that dances with string
december skies drying my eyes
away from the cries of yearning for you
september sun
how it begin burning with fumes that keep running out
and I’m swimming
floating for you
feet dragging the ground
i fear I might drown
in the love that you give
hope that you bring
love that you give
that dances with string
will forever be imbedded in the words
that we say to each other
Black Crow
(written by Jenni Alpert)
black crow in the corner of my sky
silently perching there seemingly unaware
that you’re my humor
black crow in the corner of my mind
protecting me from protecting myself
revealing your wings of steel
see me standing near
I can taste your tears
though you hide them
and your beside yourself
don’t you know I hear
all the words you want
to say timing gets in the way
it’s better if far you stay
so I won’t arm you with fuel to fly away
black crow in the corner of my eye
painting paper planes onto the sky
to fly me where my arms can’t reach
where freedom lies beneath
if you soar above it
Seasons
(written by Jenni Alpert)
summer days winter is calling again
i wish you well
feel the air beneath the trees
cool summer breeze
just a careless as you can tell
can you feel how careless we can be
can you sense it in the moonlight
can you sense it in the sun
another day of growing older
another season has just begun
Moonshine
(written by Jenni Alpert)
moonshine
your eyes don’t seem to know
the love that I’ve been shaded by
moonshine
your tone speaks soft like those left behind
moonshine
everything you are bleeds right into me
moonshine
my body shivers
I’m left with a calm let’s dance in acid rain
pour water in me deep
wet my sorrow
pour water in me deep
rain on my walls and I’ll come showering down to you
moonshine
memory glistens my pocket with holes
i’m lost in my mind
moonshine
my heart aches of confusion inside,
whisk me away
i can only feel you calling me calling me
i can only feel what’s real
i can only feel you calling me
i’ve got you underneath my skin
Lonely Bottles
(writtten by Jenni Alpert)
this time you’re really going strong
take to this road all out on your own
from the sidelines I watch you write the rules
never mind those who taught you well
so used to riding alone in your hell
but it’s amazing what exceptions can do
cuz with me there’s no holding back
stop thinking about all the things you might lack
it’s all in your mind and I don’t have the time
to ignore it
life is short but I’m here for the ride
the door is wide open so sweep out your pride
the journey is rough i’ll be by your side
just explore it
lonely you’ll find moments in time
where you’ll be left with no rhythm or rhyme
but I’ll reason you back to where you belong
don’t give up cause it’s safe for you
the bottle is empty but your heart is too
can’t keep on running like a fool
cuz in the end there’ll be no one left to break your rules
