Kina Grannis Album

Hear your breath beside me in my bed
All the sheets are tangled in my legs
And as I stretch
The sun falls on me
A gentle way to say
It's time to wake up
It's time to wake up

CHORUS:
To the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me

Start your day with coffee, mine with tea
Humming with my guitar as you read
I write a song
The words all find me
Assembling into this picture of things
With all that they bring

CHORUS

(2x)
It's the world in front of me
Watch as it unfolds so beautifully
Fitting all the pieces perfectly
It's the world in front of me

It's the world in front of me

Hush now
Let's go quiet to the park where it first started
Cold night, us lying in the dark
I felt my heart was trying to find a place for you to stay
A place where I'd feel safe

CHORUS:
Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark, we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms, I'll stay
Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark, we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms, I'll stay

Take my hand
Let's go into the trees
Behind the branches, falling on our knees
I remember feeling like this part of us would never change

CHORUS

Follow me
We both know the way
It's always been the same

CHORUS

In your arms, I'll stay (4x)

Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Yeah, it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

Oh, be my Valentine

Welcome to the days of wariness
Where I'm feeling an echo inside my chest
I've a heart beating patiently along
Waiting for the other half of its song
It's song

[Chorus:]
No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight tonight
If you're not strong enough

And times have told the ways things come to light
Realizing a lack in your will to fight
Despite words crying inconsistencies
As you fall uneasily
To your knees

[Chorus]

I'm not blind to what you're doing here
Make me feel like I'm special, but my dear
I have seen through a weakness in your eyes
You don't know it but you're telling me lies

You will soon wake to see
There is no heart in anything you say to me
Thought we'd found a harmony
A perfect match of melodies
But if you listen closely now
I've been singing all alone

[Chorus]

One time I dreamt an unknown land
With jungle trees and the blackest sand
Had taken us as prisoners in the night, oh
Upon its shore, we could not sleep
Instead, we stayed awake to keep
Our minds off things like monsters and the like, oh

So hour by hour, we passed the time
We watched a motion picture in the sky
You were the clouds and I was the moon

CHORUS:
You and me together, together, together
You and me together, together, together
Together is all we need
Bada ba bum
Bada dum
Bada ba daba
Ba daba

Then waves came crashing down on me
And they tried to take me out to sea
You fought them off so gallantly and won, oh
Then back again upon our shore
We really wanted nothing more
Than to hold each other 'til our arms grew tired

Then slowly like a timid flower
The sun rose up at just the hour
When we had slowly slipped out of my dream, oh

CHORUS

You and me together, together, together
You and me together, together, together
Together is all we need

Oh, bada bum
Bada ba bum
Bada ba bum bum

I feel defeated again
I'm always losing to myself
I tried to build a better me
Shack to castle and it fell down

I had the right intentions
Sometimes, my hope envelopes me
And I can't learn the lesson
Not to send a goldfish to the sea

This matter is mine
Don't worry, I'm fine
This matter is mine
I'm not going to give it up

I know what you've been thinking
Too soon to empty my cocoon
This butterfly is not ready
Wouldn't she know better than you?

This matter is mine
Don't worry, I'm fine
This matter is mine
I'm not going to give it up

I write you letters from right to left
See if you have desire yet
To decipher what I said
And learn secrets from my head

It was hard for me to say
Those three words that are so brave
Almost kept them locked away
Deep inside where they'd be safe

BRIDGE:
Always trying to find
A safer place to hide

CHORUS:
Always felt I was protecting my...
Heart and mind
Heart and mind
But it seems like to really feel alive
I cannot hide
My heart and mind

I don't know why I get shy
Tucked away inside my mind
Scared to let someone inside
I sit silent in disguise

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Just give it to me quick
Are you coming home?
Don't dance around it

I need to hear this
I chose you long ago
Have you chosen me yet?

I'm starting to wear thin and find it harder to forgive
Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities

I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
If it's time to let go of you

Now please don't take this wrong
You know I want you
But don't think I won't move on

I can get by on my own
I'll stand without you
Look how I have grown

I'm starting to wear thin and find it harder to forgive
Every time you let us slip down your list of priorities

I'm waiting for you to say you're here to stay
But darling, if you know that it's through
You can't keep doing what you do
If it's time to let go of

You once whispered words to me
Wondering if anybody loved each other like we do
I guess that's not enough for you
Tell me or I'm going to let you go
If it's time to let go of you

I think that the stars would have waited for us
Hanging onto the night, watching down below
Until we were hand in hand, together waiting for them
So when I open my eyes, I saw it too
Stars falling down, when I fell for you

CHORUS:
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do

I think that the clouds like the laughter around us
Wanting to feel the warmth, they're softly sinking down
Until they cover the streets just like a dreamland
And right above us, they part so that I see through
Stars falling down, and I fall for you

CHORUS

I love you, I love you

You said, "Be careful, it's delicate, things can just crumble apart."
But it's not the same for me
It's not the same for me

So I kept treading so carelessly
Thin lines that splintered my ground
But I closed my eyes to them
I closed my eyes to them

CHORUS:
How did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me?
When everything falls away from me

One day I woke in the rubble
Knee-deep in damage I'd done
And I was ashamed of it
How did it come to this?

CHORUS x2

When everything falls away from me

Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both your love and misery

I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
Lovely things

I don't work for free
Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me but flow back swiftly

My rhythm, soothing, like raindrops steady
On foggy windows when you gaze outwardly
Peacefully

I don't work for free
Please take care of me
Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Everytime you sleep
Everytime you eat
Everytime you laugh
Everytime you cry
Every time you love

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

I heard it in your voice when your love died,
on a telephone connection stretching miles and miles of wire.
You said it was over and then cried and cried.
You were gone before I said goodbye.

I don't like to think it is true,
that distance came between us like a knife and cut right through.
Where did we go wrong and let it all undo?
The only one I ever loved was you.

Would you stay just a little, my love?
Would you sway just a little, my love?
Because the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up.
If you stay just a little, that's enough.

It kills me as I lay awake at night,
remembering the last kiss that we shared doesn't feel right.
Is it impossible for me to win this fight,
keep you a little longer in my life?

Would you stay just a little, my love?
Would you sway just a little, my love?
Because the hole in the middle of my heart needs filling up.
If you stay just a little, that's enough.

all the birds are singing in the whisper winds
everybody's listening
and the sun is shining like today wont end
nothing here is missing

looking over looking under looking through
what we find every time we do what we do

and we laugh
and we cry
and we live our lives
and we love and we love and we love
and it comes back to us

we carve into the tree our history of love
with dreams of ever after
we can sit beneath the bows and trace the lines
that add another chapter

looking outside looking inside looking away
what we find each and every time you say that you'll stay

and we laugh
and we cry
and we live our lives
and we love and we love and we love
and it comes back to us

in the evening when we turn in
will you look back with me?

and we laugh
and we cry
and we live our lives
and we love and we love and we love
and it comes back to us

The springtime brings out
The brightest green in things
And tiny sprouts push the soil from their way
Mr. Sun, please don't go away

CHORUS:
'Cause the winter saddened all the flowers
And the oceans turned to gray
And the sky cried down for days and days
Mr. Sun, please don't go away

The birds and bees all sing happy things
As they fly into the sky
And lonely trees will grow families in their leaves
Mr. Sun, stay here won't you please

CHORUS
