The wagons set, the Pennysaver's too
Your big sister's got a new paper route
Run, run run Katie run
You're only 8 years old but baby that's okay
It's never too soon to teach you how to earn your way
Run run run Katie run
Oh run run run Katie Run
Run run run run run
Grab your coat and tie your shoes
We don't got another minute on the clock to lose
Run, run run Katie run
The sooner that we leave, the sooner we'll be back
C'mon little girl, now don't give me flak
Run run run Katie run
Oh run run run Katie Run
Run run run run run
Run for your life and feel the breath fill up your lungs
Who told you running’s just for fun?
Run, run, run, run, run
We'll roll them up then you run them down
We only gotta hit 100 houses in this town
Run run run Katie run
House 1 house 2 house 3 and 4
only 96 more until the work is done
Run run run Katie run
Oh run run run Katie Run
Run run run run run
Run for your life and feel the breath fill up your lungs
Who told you running’s just for fun?
Run, run, run, run, run
When we got home I asked for my pay
Mama said "when you get your own job someday"
Run run run Katie run
That's when I learned all by myself
that I never wanna work for someone else
Oh run run run run
Run for your life and feel the breath fill up your lungs
Who told you running’s just for fun?
Run for your life and feel the breath fill up your lungs
Who told you running’s just for fun?
Run for your life- it doesn't matter that you'll never catch up
I'm never running just for fun
But I run, run, run, run, run
Oh, run, run, run, run, run

You're crying cause I've been lying to ya
I'm sorry but I've dying on the
Inside and tryn' to be lively
When really I've been getting high
And barely getting by
There's no reason to trust me babe
But, please, do it anyway.
One year, oh it's been one year my darlin
I'm sorry that you're still crying but I'm
Right here and tryn' to make it clear
That I've soaked my soul in bleach
And that I practice what I preach
There's no reason to lean on me
But, please, do it anyway
Do it anyway.
Do it anyway
You're angry and I don't blame ya honey
I'm sorry I terrify ya but we're
trapped here while passion disappears
You're running from the truth
While we're both drowning in our tears
There's no reason to love me babe
But, please do it anyway
Relax we'll get back on track
I promise I'll always have your back
and that I'll…
please you and never tease you
But I've done all I can do so now our fate is up to you
There's no reason to trust me babe
but, please, do it anyway.
There's no reason to lean on me
but, please, do it anyway
Yeah there's no reason to love me but
I know you're gonna do it anyway
Do it anyway. Do it anyway
Do it anyway. Do it anyway
Do it anyway.

I'm Sorry

I’m sorry for not saying “I’m sorry” before
And I’m sorry that you need an “I’m sorry” for the times I supplied you with a broken heart
I’m sorry that I’m saying “I’m sorry” for the one I missed
And now I’m sorry for saying I’m sorry right now for the “sorry” that you needed before
You yell and scream with all your might
Trying to show your hurt and spite
And we both know this won’t end tonight
But it may if I say you’re right
So…
I’m sorry for not saying “I’m sorry” before
And I’m sorry that you need an “I’m sorry” for the times I supplied you with a broken heart
I’m sorry that I’m saying “I’m sorry” for the one I missed
And now I’m sorry for saying I’m sorry right now for the “sorry” that you needed before
You don’t believe my heart is true
When I move on to something new
I gotta go back, see your point view
And if I don’t we may be through
So...
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
I’m sorry for not saying “I’m sorry” before
And I’m sorry that you need an “I’m sorry” for the times I supplied you with a broken heart
I’m sorry that I’m saying I’m sorry for the one I missed
And now I’m sorry for saying “I’m sorry” right now for the “sorry” that you needed before
Yeah I’m sorry for saying “I’m sorry” right now when you needed an “I’m sorry” before

Why Can't You See?
03:09
|

|
There’s a pain on the opposite side of my heart
Everytime that I play I can feel it start
It moves through my chest and it slides to my gut
Oh, the ache and the sadness
It tears me apart
Whoa why can’t you see what you mean to me?
Oh, how can that be when you’re all that I need?
And why won’t my love or my touch set you free?
Oh, why can’t you see what you mean to me?
I can’t move, I can’t breathe when you’re angry at me
My body will shut down and force me to grieve
I can’t hide, I can’t smile, I just sit down and cry
Oh the fear and the madness
It breaks my heart
Whoa why can’t you see what you mean to me?
Oh, how can that be when you’re all that I need?
And why won’t my love or my touch set you free?
Oh, why can’t you see what you mean to me?
You should know by now
That I’m sticking around
And that I’m scared too
But I’d rather be scared with you
Than scared alone
So why can’t you see what you mean to me?
Oh, how can that be when you’re all that I need?
And why won’t my love or my touch set you free?
Oh, why can’t you see what you mean to me?
Whhhoooaa
And why won’t my love or my touch set you free?
Oh, Why can’t you see what you mean to me?

Learn To Fly
04:21
|

|
I want to keep the grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to fly
You claim I'm brave enough
You say I'm feeling tired
You could be right but who's to know who it's right for?
Let this songbird stay on land to feed my strength and take a stand
Taste the freedom in what I can do and the freedom to choose not to
I want to keep the grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to fly
Shut up, I've heard enough
I know I let you down
You seem to know just what to do so do it yourself
And let this songbird stay on land to feed my strength and take a stand
Taste the freedom in what I can do and the freedom to choose not to
I want to keep the grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to fly
Winter has been too cold
It's worn me out, it's made me old
Feathers were left behind
Along with pieces of my pride
Will I ever find a home?
Or is a home your flesh and bones?
I don't know
I still don't know
So, I want to keep the
Grass between my toes and
Let my feet sink in ground
I hear how crazy that must sound.
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to
Fly, Oh
I don't know, don't ask me why
but gravity has never felt this right.
I'm not ready to learn how to….FLY

Don't
04:20

I don’t wanna call to hear what I did was wrong
I don’t wanna call to laugh and play along
I don’t wanna get myself worked up
Be fooled by a love that self-destructs
I don’t wanna call and hear what I did was wrong
All that I am
All that you see
Is something I’ve done
It’s all I have
It’s all I need
You wanna take some
But there’s not enough
No, you don’t know what’s best and you put my patience to the test
So I hide my cards between my breasts, inside the shirt, underneath my vest
Until I catch my breath
I don’t wanna call to hear what I did was wrong
I don’t wanna call to laugh and play along
I don’t wanna get myself worked up
Be fooled by a love that self-destructs
I don’t wanna call and hear what I did was wrong
You wanna yell
You wanna scream
Teach me a lesson
Toughen me up
And make me bleed
Until I learn one
But I can’t do enough
I don’t need to see your face to know it’s looking at me with disgrace
So the blood freezes in my veins, my heart begins to run a race
Until you’ve made your case
I don’t wanna call to hear what I did was wrong
I don’t wanna call to laugh and play along
I don’t wanna get myself worked up
To be fooled by a love that self-destructs
I don’t wanna call and hear what I did was wrong
I don’t wanna call and hear what I did was wrong
Cause I’m not wrong
Yeah, you’re wrong
Yeah, you’re wrong

Nothing At All
04:44
|
|||
|
I’m alone in this room
Every light is turned on
Leaves are flying past the window
so they can dance on the lawn
I keep jotting down notes
Of all the things that I should do
And replaying my mistakes that I wish weren’t true
Cause I’ve been a slave to my Daddy
Then a slave to my man
Now I’m a slave for myself so I can try to understand
What’s right, what’s wrong
And what it means to be strong
I’ll do it all in one day while doing nothing at all
My guitar’s on the floor
I’ve got the vacuum pulled out
I’ve got bills to pay but I’m sitting on the couch
And reliving old decisions that are littered with doubt
Cause I’ve been a slave to my Daddy
Then a slave to my man
Now I’m a slave for myself
so I can try to understand
What’s right, what’s wrong
And what it means to be strong
I’ll do it all in one day while doing nothing at all
I’ll do it all in one day while doing nothing….
Nothing At All
To-do lists get longer and my mind still wanders
You can’t escape your own past
But it’s a test to get stronger, an opportunity to ponder
But how long will it last?
All I know is...
I’ve been a slave to my Daddy
Then a slave to my man
Now I’m a slave for myself so I can try to understand…
SOMEONE TELL ME
What’s right, what’s wrong
What it really means to be strong
I’ll do it all in one day while doing nothing at all
I’ll do it all in one day while doing nothing at all
I GOTTA do it all in one day while doing nothing...
Nothing At All

Tomorrow
03:48
|

The sun is rising
It's not surprising but you're not ready
for the moon to go away
Your face is swollen
Your mind's still rolling over the pros and cons
of fighting for one more day
Relax and feel your breath
Dry your tears and rest your head
Close your eyes go back to bed, we'll try again
Tomorrow
It's the season
all your reasons, demons, and feelings
dance on bones and through your veins
So I'll bring you coffee
Whisper softly all off the reasons why
you're going to be okay.
Relax and feel your breath
Dry your tears and rest your head
Close your eyes go back to bed, we'll try again
Tomorrow
It's not more than you can take
One day all this pain will break
But for now, feel your breath
Dry your tears and rest your head
Close your eyes go back to bed, we'll try again
Tomorrow
Close your eyes go back to bed, we'll try again
Tomorrow
Close your eyes go back to bed, we'll try again
Tomorrow

Past
03:43

There's a monster on my back
He's large and he's tricky to drag
He holds on by gripping my neck
With hands and arms demanding respect
I gently asked him his name
He said "I am your Past..."
Fear through tears ran down my face
Past laughed and reveled in my pain
His breath sent cold chills down my spine
As he began to tell guilt-ridden rhymes
I tried to plan my escape
He said "I plan to stay..."
If I can build up the strength
Then maybe this won't feel the same
I'll workout and chisel my core
I’ll eat well, ignore the remorse
I swear I'll will you away
He said, "That will not work..."
What can I do? What can I change?
Whether it's inside my head or it's furniture to rearrange this
RAGE
There's a monster on my back
There's a monster on my back
There's a monster on my back
There's a monster on my back…..

What Comes Next?
03:43
|

Have you ever broken a man? 'Cause I have
I took his whole world and ripped it right in half
I can still see his face, his mind lost in space
He began to sway, his eyes formed a glaze....
I should take off these rings, they're too hard to see
They remind me of the honor I decieved
I know I gotta look back, dissect that
But I'm so scared to do that
'Cause what if I destroyed all we had?
When I thought that whiskey and wine
Mixed with biding my time
Would drown my soul to safety
I thought that starting to cheat
Mixed with fighting to leave was the only way to save me
But now I'm stuck holding my breath
Wondering what comes next...
When you've been fighting for 92 days
With a spotlight on all your flaws
Mmmm What comes next
When you hope, beg, and pray that he stays
But you'll feel guilty if he does
This was never the plan, I swear...
I thought that whiskey and wine
Mixed with biding my time
Would drown my soul to safety
I thought that starting to cheat
Mixed with fighting to leave was the only way to save me
But now I'm stuck holding my breath
Wondering what comes next...
