Beautiful View
PRE-VERSE:
My heart is in a sad song
Nothing's going right
Minor is my major key tonight
These words are hard to form
And my soul is bleeding through
Let the melody, carry me to you
1st VERSE:
It’s funny how
The blackest cloud can fade back into the blue
They only disappear when I'm with you
On my darkest days
When I'm seeing gray
You know just what to do
You take off my shades reveal sunny days
Ohhhhh
CHORUS:
What a beautiful view(x3)
Oh you’re beautiful
Yes you’re beautiful
Oh it’s beautiful
Light, light
This light flowing from your eyes
Oh it's beautiful
It’s a beautiful view
(instrumental)
2ND VERSE:
You flipped my wild world upside down
Perspective’s turning new
Now down is up and you and me equals two
Getting lost inside, your big brown eyes
There’s nothing I'd rather do
I'm so hypnotized and mesmerized
Ohhhhh
CHORUS:
What a beautiful view(x2)
Honey looking at you
Oh you’re beautiful
Yes, you’re beautiful
Oh it’s beautiful
Light, light
This light flowing from your eyes
Oh it's beautiful
It’s a beautiful view

Ruby Red Shoes
Verse 1:
Dancin’ with fireflies
Under the starlit sky
Up up, away it's true
Just two clicks of my shiny shoes
Pre chorus:
I'm soarin’ higher,
Just past cloud 9
Chorus:
Get up, get out, get away
Come on, fly with me
Jump up, what's your fantasy?
Sha--shake that sugar tree
Do just what you wanna do,
Just take a walk in my ruby red shoes
Verse 2:
Zoomed past the moon and stars
Greetings from Jupiter and Mars
Look for my “Land of Oz”
Don’t care ‘bout that curtain cause
The…..

Day breaks like thunder
Bright rainbows under me

Get up, get out, get away
Come on, fly with me

Just take a walk in my ruby red shoes.

Get up, get out, get away

Up in the Air
(1st verse)
It was hard to breathe
Life was moving faster
Trying to find my way
Only finding after
My feet had left the ground
Now I’m soaring past
All these old directions
And I’m trying to see
Beyond familiar action
Don’t know where I’m going now...
(pre-chorus)
I’m excitedly scared
All these changes, getting me prepared
(Chorus)
I’m all up in the air, from here
Don’t know where this wind is gonna blow me
Holding on to my prayers and tears
Cause I know that in time, they’re gonna grow me
Think I’m half way there
Don’t know where there is
I’m all up in the air…
(Verse 2)
Think it’s all control
You got it figured out
Maybe I need some change
I need a turn around
Could it be that I’m holdin’ me down
Cause l’m beginning to find
No matter how hard I try
I’m not my journey’s master
Let go of the timeline
Learn to trust in the now
(pre-chorus)
I’m decidedly scared
I’m hopeful, I’m getting somewhere
(Chorus)
Cause I’m all up in the air, from here
Don’t know where this wind is gonna blow me
Holding on to my prayers and tears
Cause I know that in time, they’re gonna grow me
Think I’m half way there
Don’t know where there is
I’m all up in the air.
(Bridge)
Just breath
Free flyin now
Letting go seems right somehow
(Chorus)
I’m all up in the air from here
Don’t know where this wind is gonna blow me
Holding onto my prayers and tears
Cause I know that in time they’re gonna grow me
Think I’m half way there
Cause I’m all up in the air
Think I’m almost there
I’m all up in the air

Falling
Verse 1
Wish I may, and wish I might
Have this star I see tonight
Laughing with me
Feels like I’m dreaming
Falling in his eyes
Could this be the very start
As something lovely captures my heart
I’m drowning in this, beautiful bliss
Under the night lit sky
Chorus
Falling in you
Time moves slowly
All that you do
Draws me deeper down
Caught in the rush
Dreams are dancing
All around us
Life is changing now
Don’t care if I trip
Cause honey I’m slipping
Just don’t catch me falling down
Verse 2
Breathing in and breathing out
This wonderful lift within me now
No words exist to explain this
Sweet love I’ve found inside
And swaying to my strumming heart
As music slowly begins to start
Notes form a song, I’m singing along
A romance lullaby
Chorus
Falling in you
Time moves slowly
All that you do
Draws me deeper down
Caught in the rush
Dreams are dancing
All around us
Life is changing now
Don’t care if I trip
Cause honey I’m slipping
Just don’t catch me falling
(Bridge)
Down in this wonderful spiral I never knew
You’re the star that I wished on, my dream that is coming true
Wish I may, wish I might, have this star I see tonight
Chorus
Caught in the rush
Dreams are dancing
All around us
Life is changing now
Don’t care if I trip
Cause honey I’m slipping
Just don’t catch me falling
Just don’t catch me falling down

Don’t Write a Song About Me
Verse 1
Things were good, Things looked right
Never saw the sun set before it was night
Guess I was taken by surprise
How could you do this to me?
You led me on like a dog to a bone
But in the end, I was really alone
The whole time I thought you would be mine
But I guess I was wrong
Pre-chorus
Can’t believe I could be this naïve
You seemed so sweet, but were merely a tease
Opened my heart, left it fully exposed
And so the storyline goes….
Chorus
I took your lies
And your silly little games
Mixed in a beat I could tap my feet to
Threw in my heart and a couple of strings
Now take a look at what we got
You played me good,
You played me really well
Now it’s time you danced to my new sound
In the end I guess you should never say
Just don’t write a song about me
Verse 2
Should’ a known you’d get scared
Like a bird that was startled you took to the air
Fear was seared within your eyes
Nesting was never your thing
Guess it was clear, all along
That with you the word “future” don’t measure so long
Now it’s time to say goodbye
Bye, bye, bye…..Go fly
Pre-chorus
Can’t believe I could be this naïve
You seemed so sweet and troublesome free
Opened my heart, left it fully exposed
And so the storyline goes….
Chorus
I took your lies
And your silly little games
Mixed in a beat I could tap my feet to
Threw in my heart and a couple of strings
Now take a look at what we got
You played me good,
You played me really well
Now it’s time you danced to my new sound
In the end, I guess I you should never say
Just don’t write a song about…..
Bridge/Rap
Listen
Listen closely
Do you hear that sound?
It’s pounding slowly
It’s my heart beat
And it’s breaking
But would you ever know
How much it’s aching
Cause you smashed what love I had for you
Because your heart
It proved untrue
And now I’m lost with words for you
My thoughts are merely dust because they burned down too
With us, our walls came tumbling
And now I’m left here fumbling
Around…..but I got news for you
Your words won’t go unheard
This song’s a tribute….
Chorus
I took your lies
And your silly little games
Mixed in a beat I could tap my feet to
Threw in my heart and a couple of strings
Now take a look at what we got
You played me good,
You played me really well
Now it’s time you danced to my new sound
Cause in the end, I guess I you should never say….
In the end, I guess you should never say….
(tag)
Don’t write a song about my cheating heart
Don’t write a song about my wicked games
Don’t write a song about my bad romance
Don’t write a song that makes the whole world sing

Naive
1 verse
My heart is waiting for the break
I knew this day would come
But I never fully pictured myself
When all was said and done
From months of time and energy
I put toward me and you
You took that hope
And you took that trust
And you went for something new
Pre-chorus
Oh….What can I say
Why did you do me that way?
Chorus
And now…
Why did I ever trust you
Your words were just a lure
To hook my naïve heart
And how…
Could you just easily turn away
Without an ounce of apology
I guess I really had you wrong
So long, so long
2nd verse
My world was finally making sense
My heart was moving on
The pain had slowly melted away
I thought I had you gone
But then I saw the two of you
Your hands were intertwined
I wrote my heart, then ripped up the page
And the hurt was underlined
Pre-chorus
Oh….What can I say
Why did you do me that way?
Chorus
And now…
Why did I ever trust you
Your words were just a lure
To hook my naive heart
And how….
Could you just easily turn away
Without an ounce of apology
I guess I really had you wrong
So long, so long
Bridge
You took my heart and you threw it away
Just like a sorry in a bad cliché
I try to fight it, but my thoughts always betray me
I try to go to a sunnier place, and get a little bit of inner space,
But then, you got me crying again….crying, crying…
Chorus
And now…
Why did I ever trust you
Your words were just a lure
To hook my naive heart
And how…
Could you just easily turn away
Without an ounce of apology
I guess I really had you wrong

When Pigs Fly
Verse 1
So I’d dream about me and you
Coming back and starting a new
You saying, “I was dishonest and wrong,
Sorry baby you were right all along.”
Hoping for some change in your soul
Promising not to let me go
Perfect, like a princess
Hey, hey
Pre-chorus
The clock ticked on
My patience had gone
I’m thinking to myself…..
Chorus
You’re like trying to teach a pig to fly
Up in that ba-loo-loo sky
You’re never gonna happen, but hey
Why not try?
You’re like waiting for the sunshine
In the darkest time of night
Twelve o’clock to be exact
You’re never gonna happen
It’s just fact
Just a fact(2x)
Oh, oh, but I still keep on dreamin’
Verse 2
So I’m guessing it’s all over and done
Although running back to me would be fun
So I’m gonna have to let you go,
But my heart is saying no, no, no
Why is this so hard to do?
Cause all I’d get is the same old you
Erasing all your dumb ol’ games
Yay, yay
Pre-chorus
Time moves on
I’m glad you’re gone
Fixing you is like
Chorus
Trying to teach a pig to fly
Up in that ba-loo-loo sky
You’re never gonna happen, but hey
Why not try?
You’re like waiting for the sunshine
In the darkest time of night
Twelve o’clock to be exact
You’re never gonna happen
It’s just fact
Just a fact(2x)
But I still keep on dreamin’
Bridge
Now I never said, that dreams didn’t come true
Because they do, just not with you
And fantasy can become reality
It’s all about what prince you chose and the shoes you use
(Chorus)
I’m trying to teach a pig to fly
In the blue sky….Oh, oh
It’s like waiting for the sunshine
In the darkest time of night
Twelve o’clock to be exact…
It’s just a fact, just a fact…Oh, oh…
You’re never coming back (2x)
Oh, oh
Boy you’re never coming back

Talking to the Sky
(Chorus)
Show me something to lift me
Out of this empty atmosphere
Take me somewhere that frees me
So all this doubt can disappear
Give me a sign
(1st verse)
Talking to the sky
Searching for an answer
Silence in my life
Are you even there?
Waiting for a sign
Help with second guessing
Feeling unaligned
Do you even care?
(Chorus)
Show me something to lift me
Out of this empty atmosphere
Take me somewhere that frees me
So all this doubt can disappear
Give me a sign
I’m not talking to the sky
Can you hear me?
(2nd Verse)
Tell me what I see
Questioning this beating
Heart inside of me
Does it bleed the truth?
Please help me to believe
Sinking but still breathing
Gotta hold on me
And I'm dying to break free, break free…..
(Chorus)
Show me something to lift me
Out of this empty atmosphere
Take me somewhere that frees me
So all this doubt can disappear
Give me a sign
I'm not talking to the sky
(Bridge)
Got a feeling, there’s another side
Close to empty
(Chorus)
Show me something to lift me
Out of this empty atmosphere
Take me somewhere that frees me
So all this doubt can disappear
Give me a sign
I’m not talking to the sky
Can you hear me?

Calendar- Written by Kelsey Lewis
(1st verse)
You got me sitting here thinking about
What could be on your mind
Then of course I’m wondering to myself
Why you gotta be so stuck to mine
My heart has never been
One to jump or skip from its steady line
So I guess it’s obvious to everyone else
How knee deep I am this time
(pre-chorus)
Well it’s new and true
I finally found someone to walk with
And it’s you, yes it’s you
Darling
(Chorus)
I miss those brown eyes
The way they talk
And whisper into mine
I miss those starlit skies
Where we spin our dreams
And secrets, side by side
ooooooOoooOoooo
I miss your laugh and your smile
Why couldn’t you stay for a while?
You got me counting off the days
(2nd verse)
So I guess this is how it works
The waiting game becomes your new best friend
And finally you find yourself
Daydreaming about
How everything will hopefully end
These memories keep floodin back
Replaying themselves
As if a cinema is in my head
I’m hanging on your every word
Like lines to a script
Because this movie is no longer pretend
(pre-chorus)
Well it’s new and true
Finally found someone to laugh with
And it’s you, yes it’s you
Darling
(Chorus)
I miss those brown eyes
The way they talk
And whisper into mine
I miss those starlit skies
Where we spin our dreams
And secrets, side by side
ooooooOoooOoooo
I miss your laugh and your smile
Why couldn’t you stay for a while?
You got me counting off the days
*….instrumental….*
(bridge)
I’m livin’ in lullabies
As you sing me to sleep
Over phone calls
Late at night
My heart stops when I hear you sigh
And say “I miss you too
Hope things are alright”
OooooOooooOooo
I miss your laugh and your smile
Why couldn’t you stay for a while
Why must you be so far away
You got me counting off the days(3x)

Catch a Falling Star
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
And just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day
For love may come and tap you on the shoulder
Some starless night
And just in case you feel you wanna hold her
You’ll have a pocketful of starlight
Pocketful of starlight,
HmmmmHmmHmmHmmHmmmHmmm
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day,
Rainy, rainy, rainy day
For when your troubles start multiplying
And they just might
It’s easy to forget them without tryin’
With just a pocketful of starlight
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Never let it fade away
Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket
Save it for a rainy day,
Save it for a rainy day(2x)
