Erin McCarley Album

You hold your head up to the sky
You say what kind of blue are you? Are you?
Then you ride your pony 'round and 'round
It’s diggin’ a hole, right through, right through

You stumble down a yellow brick road,
Spinning your shoes in the air, the air.

Then you, hold your breath, and count to nine,
Hoping that soon somebody will find you, find you,

Go on, go on, go on, the stars are watching,
Just say, just say, just say, what you’re feeling,
You know, you know, you know, you gotta take a bow and do it your way,
It’s okay-ay, ladadadadadadadada, it’s okay-ay, ladadadadadadadada

You’re 15 miles over the speed,
You’re going fast as you can after your daydream
Ohh

I might get sad, hurried away
Or have a serious talk with your, champaigne.

Go on, go on, go on, the stars are watching,
Just say, just say, just say, what you’re feeling,
You know, you know, you know, you gotta take a bow and do it your way,
It’s okay-ay, ladadadadadadadada, it’s okay-ay, ladadadadadadadada

It’s time for you to prove,
Within your ruby shoes
You deserve a smile with no regret,
Look at you,
Kicking off your shoes,
Dancing for the world to see,
You got the power to believe,
Open up and see,
And I’ll be free and fly away-aaayyy,

Go on, go on, go on, the stars are watching,
Just say, just say, just say, what you’re feeling,
You know, you know, you know, you gotta take a bow and do it your way,
It’s okay-aaaayyy, ladadadadadadadada, it’s okay-aaaayyy, ladadadadadadadada
It’s okay-aaaayyy, ladada ladada, it’s okay-aaaayyy, ladadadadadadadada

Oh, wise one
If you knew the answer
Why'd you ask the question?
Oh, wise one
If you're such a someone
Why do you give nothing to anyone?
You've wiggled your way into me time and again
You love to speak your mind
But now it's fair to say
I'm not open to today to have my heart twisted up

Your blue suitcase is empty
Hey, what's your wait?
Your blue suitcase is empty
Hey, what's your wait?

Oh, wise man
How do you get high man?
You must be self-absorbing
Oh, wise man
Save me from your high man
I can't afford another of your stuck up drug
My confidence says "I am worth it today"
So try and change its mind
Kiss your sweet girl away
You've found your fate
Now you will know what lonely pays

Your blue suitcase is empty
Hey, what's your wait?
Your blue suitcase is empty
Hey what's your wait

na na na na na na
na na na na na na na...

Tell me how does it feel to be so high above the clouds?
So tell me how does it feel to be so high above the clouds?
And tell me how will it feel when no one cares that you're not around?

Your blue suitcase is empty
Hey, what's your wait?
Your blue suitcase is empty
Hey, what's your wait?
Your blue suitcase is empty
What's your wait?
Your blue suitcase is empty
What's your wait?

Tell me how does it feel?
Tell me how does it feel?

Here's to who you are to me
No wishing well could ever bring
You celebrate my smile
You color my depressive mood
From grey to the most brilliant blue
Shape every tear into a candy sky

Take me home to your secret
Take me home to your wild sanctuary
I don't wanna hold off
Because you're sticky, sticky sweet on me
I don't wanna hold off
Cause I'm inspired
By your offbeat dreams
You make me never forget how it feels to be
that fortunate someone
I dont wanna , no I don't wanna,
I don't wanna hold off
You're gettin to me

There's music in my head
Of heart-shaped melodies of red
If this is just the start
I can't wait to hear the end
The hours come and go
As we lay wrapped up tight in your silver glow
I've never been this content to “be”

Take me home to your secret
Take me home to your wild sanctuary
I don't wanna hold off
Because you're sticky,sticky sweet on me
I don't wanna hold off
Cause I'm inspired
By your offbeat dreams
You make me never forget
How it feels to be that fortunate someone
I don't wanna , no I don't wanna,
I don't wanna hold off
You're gettin to me

Can you hear the angels singing?
while you lay your hands on me...
Can you feel the bells are ringing?
I surrender all of me, all of me.

I don't wanna hold off
Because you're sticky, sticky sweet on me
I don't wanna hold off
Cause I'm inspired
By your offbeat dreams
You make me never forget
How it feels to be that fortunate someone
I don't wanna, no i don't wanna,
I don't wanna hold off
You're gettin to me

I don't wanna, no i don't wanna,
I don't wanna hold off
You're gettin to me

I don't wanna hold off
You're sticky sweet

Oh dear, what can i say?
I'm high here, up and spinning away
From a kiss of a thrill to be filled;
Can someone hear me?

Love, what do you say?
Your mystery winds me up to be playful.
Oh here goes that curious sinner within...
Is somebody listening?
Hope no one is listening.

How do I slow down?
Cause I can't relate to my heart now
Thrown what I know is enough for me out
I'm running on empty.
I've gotta find someway
To fumble right through this new heartache,
It's torn me apart
Oh Lovesick Mistake
Turn me away.

Time says, “it's the end of the day.”
My inside says for your lips to forget what time says.
Why can't I let go of the feel
when you steal the logic around me?
God save me I'm trying...

How do I slow down?
Cause I can't relate to my heart now,
Thrown what I know is enough for me out.
I'm running on empty.
I've gotta find someway
To fumble right through this new heartache,
Its torn me apart.
Oh Lovesick Mistake
Turn me away

I think I'll disappear
Leave my head in the air for a chance to feel
Far far away from here
I know I can't stay too long
Cause I dont belong here

I've gotta find someway
To fumble right through this new heartache,
it's torn me apart
Oh Lovesick Mistake
Turn me away,
Turn me away. . .

Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.
Mama didn't teach me.
Little boys don't know how to treat little girls.
Daddy didn't show me.

Face down, on top of your bed.
Oh why did I give it up to you?
Is this how I shoot myself up high,
Just high enough to get through?

Again, the false affection.
Again, we break down inside.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty, and save me.

Sad boy, you stare up at the sky
When no one's looking back at you.
You wear your every last disguise;
You're flying, then you fall through.

Again, the false attention.
Again, you're breaking inside.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty, save me.
Love save the empty.
Love save the empty.

Stars feel like knives,
They tell us why we're fighting.
Storm, wait outside.
Oh, love, hold us together.

Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty, and save me.
And save me.

You want me to be the God up in your sky
You want me to be that apple of your eye
So sweet to think you could make you mine
Well...it's not so easy

You want me to feel revival in your touch
You want me to feel everything you're dreaming of
But darling, I'm tired, I'm all used up
It's not so easy (2x)

My love, this is more than I can give
This is more than I can take
My love, don't wanna let you in to be another mess of me
I don't trust me with loving you

I wish I could be that diamond you've waited for
I do believe when you say you won't take what isn't yours
But if I were you I would walk right out that back door
It's not that easy, I'm not so easy

My love, this is more than I can give
This is more than I can take
My love, don't wanna let you in to be another mess of me
I don't trust me with loving you

Don't wanna pull the fog over your eyes
Don't wanna string you up and out to dry
Don't wanna pull the fog over your eyes
Don't wanna string you up and out to dry
Don't let me lock you up in this circle of my mind

My love, this is more than I can give
This is more than I can take
My love, don't wanna let you in to be another mess of me
I don't trust me with loving you

I don't trust me with loving...you

Hello, goodbye
good day, goodnight
you love, you hide
Why?
You spring, you fall
turned on, turned off
what's wrong, what's wrong, love?

you say
you don't know, you don't know
you don't know.
you say you don't know
you don't know, you don't know what's on your mind

I'd love to hear you say
anything but silence
you're unaware that I'm so tired
And I've tried to understand
am I the only one cares here?
I can't let you, let you disappear

Oh oh oh oh

You seem at ease
then climb your trees
you're different colors
On the age I hope
Inside I choke
I'm falling under, oh

What am I, what am I to do?
What am I, what am I to do?
When you fly too high

I'd love to hear you say
anything but silence
You're unaware that I'm so tired
And I've tried to understand
am I the only one who cares here?
I can't let you, let you disappear

Oh, oh oh oh

I'd love to hear you say
anything but silence
You're unaware that I'm so tired
And I've tried to understand
am I the only one who cares here?
I can't let you, let you disappear
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, I've tried to understand
am I the only one who cares here?
I can't let you, let you disappear

Dug the moon into the ground,
Turn this bedroom upside-down tonight.
I took my faith and I breathed it out,
Walked right through a cloud of flashing lights,
Bright light.

Pain takes my heart's place.
The love we made, we can't erase it.
Don't want to face it.

Pitterpat, the angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.

I've lost my sense of right and wrong,
When justified, my soul to carry on.
I feel so damn good to write off the rules,
but when a new day breaks, I'm left a fool.
I'm such a fool.

Pain takes my heart's place,
Your sweet, sweet love,
I can taste it,
But still can't face it.

Pitterpat, the angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.
The angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.

The sun is coming down on me;
Could fate be so unkind?

Pain takes my heart's place.
The love we made remains.

Pitterpat, the angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.
The angel on my shoulder is haunting me tonight.
Tick-tock, the clock is getting louder, ready for me to decide.

Turn the corner to familiar
Turn around into your past
Hide then seek the same addictions
Hope you find the better, one up the last

Sleepwalking through your big bed of lies
Wish on up a star every night,
Oh, Yeah

I see, you're at it again,
Sittin on your hands
Waiting around for the wind to change direction
Well there you go again,
stuck in your head
Having a ball,
in your phony optimistic way
Off with your masquerade

All the people look so happy
Safe beneath their plastic skin
They get a rise from another's tradgedy
But tip toe so nobody can get in

Sweet talking through a big bed of lies
Wish on up a new star every night
Oh Yeah

I see, you're at it again,
sittin on your hands
Waiting around for the wind to change direction
Well there you go again,
stuck in your head
Having a ball,
in your phony optimistic way

Oh darlin you
You suffocate in your fantasy
You twist inside your hollow eyes
When the mirror speaks

I see, you're at it again,
sittin on your hands
Waiting around for the wind to change direction
Well there you go again,
stuck in your head
Having a ball,
with your phony optimistic way

I see, you're at it again,
sittin on your hands
Waiting around for the wind to change direction
Well there you go again,
stuck in your head
Having a ball,
in your phony optimistic way
It's a beautiful day,
So off with your masquerade

I just heard a plane
Fly over my place
Say that magic word
And Take me far away
Maybe somewhere with rain
And an easier pace
A place with nothing due
Just me and you

Hey hey
C'mon you know ya gotta let go
Hey hey
I wanna ride high
Come out and play
Don't stop until we blow the world away
Hold on tight baby
lets fly to the moon tonight
Hey hey

The bobblehead on my dash
He's only doing half his dance
In these city streets
Where we can barely breathe
We need a winding road
And no, we shouldn't take it slow
Turn up the radio
DJ won't you play my song
So we can sing along

Hey hey
C'mon you know ya gotta let go
Hey hey
I wanna ride high
Come out and play
Don't stop until we blow the world away
Hold on tight baby
Let's fly to the moon tonight

Let's drive away in the dark
We can let it all out
Trade the lights for the stars
And leave behind this city

C'mon you know ya gotta let go
Hey hey
I wanna ride high
Come out and play
Don't stop until we blow the world away
Hold on tight baby
Let's fly to the moon tonight

Don't stop until we blow the world away
Hold on tight baby

I separated my heart from my head
To feel out what's inside
I don't like what I see, so I say good night

Don't wake me 'cause I'm dreaming in color
Black and white is not my friend
Candy coated figures hold me in my bed

I've never been so deep inside a shadow
I've never been so insecure of what I know

I've gotta figure it out, I need a story to tell
Where's the feeling I long for?
I've gotta figure it out before I lose you, love

Big city streets are calling me loud
The busy keeps me high
Well, this quiet town is wearing me down tonight

I know that I should stay here for a while
Listen to the sound of my shaky heart
Looking for gold in the ground

I've never been so deep inside a shadow
I've never been so insecure of what I know

I've gotta figure it out, I need a story to tell
Where's the feeling I long for?
I've gotta figure it out before I lose you
Before I lose you, love

It's not okay to make you wait
To make you wonder why I
Can't hold you close or give you hope
That this will be all right, I wanna make it right

I've gotta figure this out, I need a story to tell
Where's the feeling I long for?
I've gotta figure it out

I've gotta figure this out, I need a story to tell
Where's the feeling I long for?
I've gotta figure it out before I lose you
Before I lose you, before I lose you, love
