Elizabeth Moen EP Lyrics

Songbird

I wish I could swoop you into my wings but I’m just a songbird outside your window

I wish I could come inside and sit on your table, just spend the morning talking and laughing

I’m singing at the top of my lungs trying to get through, but you never understand so I sit here and sit songs for you

Oooh ahhh, oooh ahhh

I wish you would climb up this old maple tree, I wouldn’t fly away like the other birds would do

I wish you’d sit here among the branches and leaves, just spend the morning talking and laughing

I’m singing at the top of my lungs trying to get through, but you never understand so I sit here and sit songs for you

Oooh ahhh, oooh ahhh

I wish I could swoop you into my wings but I’m just a songbird outside your window

I wish I could speak in whatever language you do, just spend the morning talking and laughing

I’m singing at the top of my lungs trying to get through, but you never understand so I sit here and sit songs for you

Oooh ahhh, oooh ahhh

I’ll sing all the oohs and ahhh that you’d like me to. Cuz the oohs and ahhh are the only way that I can say I love you

Oooh ahhh, oooh ahhh

Valencia

I haven’t heard from you cause you won’t pick up your phone

I know I should stop and leave it alone

You still on the west coast? Did you change your mind?

Oh I wish you’d leave it all behind

Pick it back on up and turn around and come home to me

Betcha moved onto new girls new bars

Betcha moving on up wherever you are

Put it back on down, turn around and come home to me

I don’t care how far you are

Pick it back on up, turn around come home to me

Pick it back on up, turn around come home to me

Come home to me

Keep Your Love

I know you don’t care but you really should

Just be prepared it’ll do you good

Listen to what I say don’t them lead those fools lead you astray

They’re out for blood but your heart ain’t what they’re thinking of

So let innocence remain and keep your love, keep your love, keep your love

Out of this game

Ain’t no hearts in this deck these players have been played

We couldn’t stop so we just stayed

So put your cards down thought you’ve been dealt a good hand

Get while you can hope you understand

Listen to what I say fools like me lead fools like you astray

We’re out for blood but your heart ain’t what they’re thinking of

So I’ll take the blame for the many, for the many, for the many before me

Who played this game

No one ever wins chips piled high over all of our sings

So let innocence remain and keep your love, keep your love, keep your love

Out of this game

So let innocence remain and keep your love, keep your love, keep your love

Out of this game

Lyin’ Here

You are always hurting always hurting mmmmm

I’m lyin’ here hurting for you

You feel too much, too much

I’m just lyin’ wanting to feel you mmmmm

It’s unexpected, it’s unrequited I know that our love could never exist

It don’t matter no no how much I love you if you can’t love me too

You don’t wanna be here, don’t wanna be here

I’m just lyin’ here wanting to be with you

You are thinking bad things, thinking bad things

I’m just lyin’ about the bad things I want to do with you

It’s unexpected, it’s unrequited I know that our love could never exist

It don’t matter no no how much I love you if you can’t love you too

Don’t matter what I’m thinking, don’t matter what I’m wanting, don’t matter how I’m feeling

If you’re always hurting

312 E Market

City lights overwhelm me, vacant stares pass byDo people wonder about what others are wondering about as much as I do?

I doubt anyone wonders about anyone half as much as I wonder about you

I’m walking down Market on the sidewalks and slip through the cracks

I’m looking up through the pavement like a window wishing I’d see you

But I’m watching people making memories just like we used to do

This street’s got a piece of me whether I want it to or not

Oh well these steps help make a memory but the memories are all that I’ve got

In a deep red, brick building there’s a dark and dusty bar

I’m watching people sit in our places and they don’t even got a clue

They’re making the same jokes and singing along to the same songs we’d listen to

I’m looking at the ice swirling around in my drink

Do people wish to leave this place as much as I do?

I doubt anyone wishes to forget anyone half as much I wish to forget you

I’m stuck in our past whether I want to be or not

Oh well each drink helps me lose a memory but the memories are that I’ve got

Oh well each drink helps me lose a memory but the memories are that I’ve got

Easier Said Than Done

I could love anyone if the timing was right

Sometimes it’s been but with someone who’s wrong

But I play along cuz thinking you’re love feels good

Feels good, good as it should

If I think hard enough maybe that’s how you fall in love

Convince to the edge of reason and slip on down

Because to love is easier said than done

I’ve been pretending for you so I’m thinking I’m not the one

I could stop this right now dead in its’ tracks

And if I did there’d be no turning back

Cause once you stop the smoke and lights fade away

Fade away, the emptiness is here to stay

If we’d have fought hard enough maybe we woulda fallen in love

Convinced ourselves to the edge of reason and slipped on down

Because to love is easier said than done

I’ve been pretending for you so I’m thinking I’m not the one

If I forget to think maybe that’s how you fall in love

Lose sight of what’s right at the edge of reason and slip on down

Because to love is easier said than done

I’ve been pretending for you so I’m thinking I’m not the one

Maybe if I’d have stopped all this thinking I would stopped wasting all your time

Cuz time is everything now ain’t it honey but right time’s been hard to find

Tangled Strings

I love you but you love her

But I’m still happy to be twirling round you on a string

I’m sure she loves someone else too

But whatcha gonna do? We’re all just spinning round

With each other confused afraid to lose loose ends

We all say we’re just friends dancing round just like puppets

But our strings are gonna get tangled

You told me you were gonna leave

Her for me so I’ve been waiting behind the curtain

To dance with you under stage light

But whatcha gonna do we’re all just playing around

With each other confused afraid to lose loose ends

We all say we’re just friends dancing round just like puppets

But our strings are gonna get tangled

SO I am done waiting for you

I’ve found someone who ain’t afraid to love me

Funny how that made you change your tune

But whatcha gonna do? We’re all just dancing round

With each other confused afraid to lose loose ends

We all say we’re just friends dancing round just like puppets

But our strings are gonna get tangled

Lost It

How’d I end up in here in this little one-bedroom?

Got a few chairs, a couch, a guitar, and a small window

How’d end up in there in that little room?

Got a chair, a hole at the bottom of your door, and a small window

You got lost in your own mind

So you lost it, lost it, lost like you lost me

Lately I’ve been getting lost in my own mind

I’m losing it, losing, losing it, losing it over you

I’m still in this small town I said I’d leave

Seeing you in Paris was that worthwhile thing I’ve done

Last time we spoke you were playing New York City

Next day you took the subway, threw out your phone, disappeared for days

We were searching, we were searching

You got lost in your own mind

So you lost it, lost it, lost like you lost me

Lately I’ve been getting lost in my own mind

I’m losing it, losing, losing it, losing it over you

How’d I end up here staring at these pictures on my walls?

Of us playing guitar and laughing along the Sienne

And how’d you end in there drawing picture on your walls?

My love and the drugs were never enough for you at all

You’re searching, you’re searching

You got lost in your own mind

So you lost it, lost it, lost like you lost me

Lately I’ve been getting lost in my own mind

I’m losing it, losing, losing it, losing it over you

Will I lose it, will I lose it, will I lose it like I lost you?
