baby fingers 03:21
baby fingers wander everywhere fearless and free baby lovers ponder everything under the trees and I wish I could be a baby once again wondering why in lullabye my baby my love don't you hear me call your name why don't you let me see your fear come around again too, I remember how it used to be but if you don't let those feelings go i don't know what I will do and i wish i could be a baby once again fearless and free

Goodbyes 03:52
CHORUS: what i had already let go what i thought i'd said goodbye to what i had already let go what i thought i'd said goodbye to what i had already let go what i thought i'd said goodbye to what i had already let go what i thought i'd said goodbye to VERSE 1: seeing you again was like a dream good or bad, i cannot tell it's easy to believe that you're not real with all my senses on the ground and i'm way down here and you're way up there reaching out to lift me up but I cannot reach back at you **CHORUS** maybe if we had another chance i could make it be alright take away all of the broken pieces we'd all achieve your dreams no matter what they seem show the world just who you are **CHORUS** how much of what we see is all inside our heads and how do we know what to trust as real how much of what we feel is just a memory of something that we need **CHORUS** goodbye i don't wanna say goodbye goodbye i don't wanna say goodbye goodbye i don't wanna say goodbye goodbye etc......

If I let go 03:06
if i let go of looking down on myself then what would i have to hold on to if all i saw looking back at myself was beauty maybe someday i'd believe in what i see baby, you're my light standing there with open arms telling me that i'm just fine the way I am shouldn't it be so easy to learn how to be kind to someone just like me how did i take all the love i had to give and turn it away? if i let go of looking down on myself then what would i have to hold onto if all i saw looking back at myself was beauty maybe someday i'd believe in what i see

you see me riding round my bicycle through town and i don't know what you are thinking i don't know what you been saying but i can agree that way deep down there we are the same well you don't like my hair and i don't like your car but that don't matter, honey baby we can take it just as far and further down the road somehow even, we can be friends so show me what you need and tell me who you love and I will call it family and you can call it god above i really think that things are getting better with time and maybe someday i can help you out sister, and i'll show you what that rainbow's all about brother, and then maybe you won't think that i'm so strange honey, and we'll find out all the ways that we can change well we must seem real funny to you now sister, but i promise that will fade away somehow and then when you look a little closer you will see brother, all the good things that we share, you and me well i'm not one to tell nobody i just wanna love everybody i don't wanna start no fight with you but if you ever need some milk or extra nails or two strong arms i'll be waiting right across the street from you and maybe someday i can help you out sister, and i'll show you what that rainbow's all about brother, and then maybe you won't think that i'm so strange honey, and we'll find out all the ways we can change

What if 02:48
what if i lie again what if i lie and cheat and throw it all away i feel that that's a possibility one that cannot be ignored and i love you so maybe i should kiss you babe and let you go i bet your heart would be safer there far away from all my words i don't wanna tell you when to leave me, baby but i don't think i will something's different this time and you love me still i know that i can always look to you and never doubt what's in your eyes and we used to be we were really something, an anomaly but all the things we love don't disappear and there's more here to be found but i don't wanna tell you when to love me, baby i don't know why you stayed i thought just one word would drive a man away i feel that this one is my last and i don't wanna let you down and i will try to be as good to you as you have always been to me there are so many things i could not be if not for you and all i wanna say is thank you, baby

hermit crabs 01:55
armload of wonderful warm happiness and two bowls full of cheeks just for me to caress and i see myself in every gaze at all the bugs outside and that plane in the air with engines open wide we fit together a hermit crab in his shell but someday you'll be too big and find another that fits you well if only everyone would think how you see new views on old things treat all others equally there's so much to teach you so much i hope you don't learn from those who've forgotten all they knew when born abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
15.
standing in the kitchen talking about all the good times we had it's hard to believe that this could be so bad sometimes i wish that that reality would not be true cause when i look into your eyes i don't ever want to leave you CHORUS: ******** but it's too late for second chances it's too late for me and you but i think i've already fallen in love with you ******** so i try to keep my distance something inside me keeps drawing me to you all i wanna know, is your love for me through? oh, your love for me **CHORUS** what if i change my mind and you're gone forever you brighten up my life and your smile is like sunny weather i don't know what to think and i don't know what to say but maybe oh maybe maybe it's better that way **CHORUS** is it too late for second chances? is it too late for me and you? think i've already fallen in love with you love with you fallen in love with you
