Katie Herzig Album

She wore that dress like it was a Saturday
Pretty as a summer rose picked in the morning
And he held her hand like it was a mystery
One he couldn’t quite believe
Just walking with him
They were high up on a hill
Something to say, and daylight to kill
Time slipped away, the way that it will

Around and around
LyricsDancing ‘round the question
Flip a coin and watch it go down
Into the wishing will
Two steps unset there goes another day,
Another chance to give away the secrets
To keep to themselves.

They were high up on a hill
Something to say, daylight to kill.
Time slipped away, the way that it will.

Darkness falls without a sound
They come tumbling down,
Tumbling after, tumbling after

She wore that dress like it was a Saturday
Pretty as a summer rose picked in the morning
And he held her hand like it was a mystery
One he couldn’t quite believe
Just walking with him
They were high up on a hill
Something to say, and daylight to kill
Time ticked away, the way that it will

Life is boxes in back of our car,
Driving around with the dreams in a jar
And it's all right here
I'll feed you ramen and you'll braid my hair
Anything goes when you don't even care,
When you're this far in love

If it gets any sweeter than this,
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
Lyrics
I want a garden and you want a coke,
Living is simple when love isn't broke
You can fix anything, with a kiss

If it gets any sweeter than this,
I don't wanna know
If it gets any sweeter than this,
I don't wanna know

You read your book, baby I'll float away
Taking a nap on your lap in the shade,
I could hold your hand all day

If it gets any sweeter than this,
I don't wanna know
If it gets any sweeter than this,
I don't wanna know
If it gets any sweeter than this,
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

You said it the perfect way
On your own and out loud
You said the perfect way
You were strong and resound
They didn’t want to hear it, but it’s time

You’re living in your high hopes
And I know that you’re scared
Cause there is a hell below, anytime you go there
And even the perfect rhyme, is a hell of a find
Lyrics
And you won’t know until you try
And you won’t know until you try

You will be looking back on the days that we’re happy
And it will be hard to see why you’ve chosen to leave
Never forget the feeling, when I drive

And you won’t know until you try
And you won’t know until you try

What have they done to the birds and the bees?
Cradle was dropped, the nest make believe
And they’re selling their souls for the purpose of losing it all.

What have they done to the cracks in the walls?
The world has been painted to cover it all
And everyone’s afraid to admit that they’re getting old.

Oh my Lord, I’m told

LyricsWhat have they done to the revolution?
They call it a war and claimed it was useless
The voice of the ages will never be heard quite the same.

What have the done to the innocent mind?
They spoiled and twisted the truth into lies
And all of the peace lovers are having to draw up their swords.

Oh my Lord, I’m torn

If I’m going crazy, then crazy is just that I’m born

What have they done to Jesus’ life?
They’re making it cruel, say it’s a lie.
They still ask for His peace cause they feel inside.

What have they done with the 2000 years?
Made history into a faithful fear
The cracks don’t expire just ‘cause the surface is dry.

Oh my Lord, I’m tired

If I’m going crazy, then crazy is just my desire
If I’m going crazy, then crazy is just what I’ve seen
If I’m going crazy, then crazy is just in between

From the time you said “Hello” and “What’s your name?”
You were a work of art, play me like a little game
Now you can break my heart, and I will love you just the same
I can see it through your eyes,
Your fingers crossed by your side
But I need your little shiny lies

You promised the world and opened up your door
And the words you fed me left me wanting more
And now I’m left here locked out looking for a key to score
LyricsI can see it through your eyes,
Your fingers crossed by your side
But I need your little shiny lies

Fools gold shining
Fools gold shining
Fools gold shining
Fools gold shining

You can break my heart and I will want you just the same
I can see it through your eyes
Your fingers crossed by your side
But I need your little shiny lies

You can break my heart and I will love you just the same
I can see through your eyes
Your fingers crossed by your side
But I need your little shiny lies

I have a proposal, a deal we could make
Read it over slowly and see what’s at stake
The resume puffed up or full of accolades is what I have none of

I’m not good at soap boxing matters of heart
And I don’t have a life that’s a great work of art
And though I am not trained I think I know enough
I can offer love

So choose and make sure you know what you’re getting into
LyricsThis won’t be one of those love and leave experiments
That might not work for you

Do you know what happens when hearts are afraid?
They don’t see when true love is right in their face
But you don’t have to worry you don’t have to wait to take my offer up

So choose, and make sure you know what you’re getting into
This wont be one of those love and leave experiments
That might not work for you.

So choose, and make sure you know what you’re getting into
This won’t be one of those love and leave experiments
That might not work so
Choose, and make sure you know what you’re getting into
This won’t be one of those love and leave experiments
That might not work for you

We are entertainers living in a scene where nobody slows down
Busy making little pieces into things that dare to make a sound
Fall like an angel, try like a fool and dare to walk away
Each of us has got a little Charlie Chaplin inside us

Sayin’
“Hey fellas why don’t we go
Where movies are silent
And life is as big as the stage.”

LyricsWaitin’ on a clocker, waitin’ on a view and hopin’ that it’s new
We all got to find something to do
Well I say we take on the strange and insane
Come on let’s pick up our hats and our canes

And say,
“Hey fellas why don’t we go
Where the movies are silent
And life is as big as the stage.”

Waddle your way to the sunset today
Waddle your way to the sunset today
Oh, waddle your way to the sunset today
And oh anything, for a laugh
Oh, anything for a laugh

“Hey fellas why don’t we go where the movies are silent and life is as big as the stage.”

I am a butterfly I sleep so silent
I land upon the light
So I can see the color of my wings
Always fly away to find another
All that to make me stay put on my wings the color always stays

No matter where I fly
No matter who I land on
Can I expect to change when I was born this way?
What do I expect to lose, when I land on you?
Lyrics
You’re much to bright for me I cannot take it
I’ll stay indefinitely until I feel my wings begin to burn
You don’t belong with me,
But I am taking this piece of revelry until I feel ever wide awake

No matter where I fly
No matter who I land on,
Can I expect to change when I was born this way?
What do I expect to lose, when I land on you?

I will never change for you
I will never change for you

I’m not the same without you

I am a butterfly I sleep so silent
I land upon the light
So I can see the color of my wings

I have a dream of living a life that’s easier said than done.
Stare in the mirror I’m unfascinated with everything I have done
I’m faking my way, living it down
Oh my God I’m lazy and I’m frenzied
Licking my wounds, and moving ahead
But I can’t take this wine and bread

I’m not even close to where I want to be

And all of the people, as small as we are
LyricsAre crying out with our hands
Feeding the poor, feasting on sunsets
Take it away my friend
All of the hands are having their way
Licking their palms for a taste of grace
I’m saving myself for all the moments that I’ll never have

I’m not even close to where I want to be

And all of the people, as small as we are
Climb out with our hands
I’m unfascinated as small as I am
Nothing else here is grand
So take me away, and move me ahead
So I can take a taste of wine and bread
I’m living it down, it’s all that I have
This is about the things I’ll have
Mercy

Cause I’m not even close to where I want to be

I’m unfascinated by everything else
And me

Green, color of trees that grow
Well, I am barely breathing
A tangle of hate and love
I can’t tell if I am numb or feeling

Cause I am brokenhearted
And you are beautiful
I am undecided
And you are weightless

LyricsSun, behind the blinds
I can’t open what I can’t find
And lies that taste so sweet
I’m not cravin’ anything I need

Well I am brokenhearted
And you are beautiful
I am undecided
And you are weightless

All the ones your city crumbles like Babylon
Leaving the gardens you’ve been hangin’ on
Disappear before your eyes
Take your time, let the words sink in before you say your mind
Heaven knows we all get lost sometimes
You will find your way back

Wounded, you let your guard down and feel stupid
You wish you never would have trusted
Your heart in someone else’s hands
LyricsBut it’s all ok
I think you may have made the best mistake
I think we’re made to give ourselves away
Cause there’s no other way to live

Jenny Lynn, I wish that I had your thin skin
I wish that I could let the love right in
Maybe I’d rather feel the pain
Cause freedom is a naked heart that always dares to give
A willingness to let the tenderness be taken as it may

Spotlight on a golden night from a bird’s eye
It’s the perfect place to be queen
So they believe
An old song with a long story
And make a way for his new glory to be
You couldn’t wait for the scene

Papa, don’t buy me a diamond ring
cause I ain’t got time for what you’re thinking
I’m a one man band with a late night show
LyricsYou gotta let me go

Bone dry in the naked light
I’ve got my closed eyes
So I can’t see what you mean
When you give ‘em to me
Bomb drop from the flower shop
and the nice guy steals the air from my wings
He should’ve thrown ‘em to me

Papa, don’t buy me a diamond ring
cause I ain’t got time for what you’re thinking
I’m a one man band with a late night show
You gotta let me go

Spotlight on a golden night from my bird’s eye
it’s the perfect place to be queen
And they will believe

Papa don’t buy me a diamond ring
cause I ain’t got time for what you’re thinking
I’m a one man band with a late night show
You gotta let me go
You gotta let me go

Don’t cry, child I can see ya
You’re too scared to come home
Just leave all of your worries
Out there where they belong
What dream keeps you running
From New York to LA?
You must be oh so hungry
For some place you can stay

Oh I can see ya
LyricsYou’re almost there
Oh I can see ya
You’re almost there

And I hope that you know I love you
Even when you are gone
And I hope someday you’ll see that
All these roads lead to one

Oh I can see ya
You’re almost there
Oh I can see ya
You’re almost there
You’re almost there

I live in the valleys
I live under your bed
I dwell in the silence that you keep from your head

Oh I can see ya
You’re almost there
Oh I can see ya
You’re almost there

Split yourself down the middle
Take one half away
Make one seem the best so the least can have its way
Split yourself down the middle
Make one side the past
You’re left with the future and maybe it will last

Sell all of your burdens
Keep all of your prayers
And then say goodbye to the life that got you here
It isn’t as easy as I thought it’d be
Choosing the side that is everything I need

Split yourself down the middle
Take one half away
Make one seem the best so the least can have its way
Split yourself down the middle
Make one side the past
And now it’s the future and baby it’ll last
