Something Alive

tell me your secret
I’ve been wandering for way too long
give me your spirit
‘cause it’s hiding in the air I’m walking on
oh I am older now
but I still wanna know
what made you strong enough to leave alone
oh, there’s something alive (2x)
bring me the warrior
oh I have sworn I’ve seen her here
oh I don’t recognize your face
but in your touch, I know it’s clear
you are a hollow balloon
yet heavier than my memory of you
oh yes, it’s true
oh, there’s something alive (2x)
oh I am older now
but I still wanna know
what made you strong enough to leave alone
oh, there’s something alive (5x)

Favorite Dress

I want you to go and pick out your favorite dress
hold it to your chest
'cause you've been wanting to dance for a while
I want you to know it's ok to be a mess
don't need to hold your head up for the rest
'cause you so far were made to rise on your own
pull it together, girl
says the little voice inside your head
days like this feel like they'll never end
you're in charge of the chances that you'll stand or fall
'cause you got your favorite dress on
I want you to see the world in amazing color
take it with your heart
and do your part to swing open each door
I want you to be proud of where you came from
it's a part of you like it's a part of me
and together, we'll make up what could be
pull it together, girl
says the little voice inside your head
days like this feel like they'll never end
you're in charge of the chances that you'll stand or fall
'cause you got your favorite dress on
there will be plenty telling you
you gotta be this way
but I see the light inside of you
shining through the fabric in between
pull it together, girl
says the little voice inside your head
days like this feel like they'll never end
you're in charge of the chances that you'll stand or fall
'cause you got your favorite dress on
oh you got your favorite dress on
oh you got your favorite dress on

With Our Hands
04:11

make a little, make a lot
this room was made for two
to choose and dream and build
whatever we want to
I'm making a little box
for all our little things
and you are smashing blocks together
for our fancy red porch swing
oh we pulled this from the ground
and it'll break a time or two
the knobs and screws will get kinda loose
and the wood grows old with you
but we won't stop fixing what's ours
'cause we built this with our hands
the parts spread like a wing
and we let the memory fly
we'll take the old, and we'll take the new
we'll take your two-year tablet too
and they might say that we're crazy
for keeping what they think is lost
but the art has meaning well past then
and finds the color when it fades again
oh we pulled this from the ground
and it'll break a time or two
the hem will frail, then there's the nail
but we'll bring it light till its fine to use
but we won't stop fixing what's ours
'cause we built this with our hands
oh we pulled this from the ground
and it'll break a time or two
the shelves will crack, its charm will stray
but I'm glad for what it gives us too
but we won't stop fixing what's ours
'cause we built this
oh we built this
oh we built this with our hands

Strawberry Mountain

we took the road, down past the ocean
worried for winter above
my lips brushed your smile, our feet dance ahead
for strawberry mountain in the sky
oh, forgive me if I get too tired
thank you for making it all worth our while
for strawberry mountain, we're coming for you
we're making good time, we built all our tools
we sleep in the art that we make
the sound of your voice is pulling me through
it shifts all the shadows away
oh, I'll forgive you if you get too tired
I'm here, just hold my hand tight as we run
for strawberry mountain, we're coming for you
you know it's something real when you can't stay away
the trees will fall but I swear, I do
it's magic I'm doing this with you
oh, forgive us if we're getting tired
thank you for making it all worth our while
for strawberry mountain, strawberry mountain, strawberry mountain
we're coming for you

Dog Walker

I’m a dog walker in New York City
I take ‘em on a stroll along the only green I see
we sleep at the movies and we get a bite to eat
we roll ‘round the subway to the street
I’m a dog walker in LA, baby
we climb up to the Hollywood sign, and we cry out to the sea
we send out letters to our friends atop the trees
their quiet has us writing another tune
don’t know where we’re going
but we’ll keep singing till we do
build far from here
til we make it back to you
I’m a dog walker in Nashville, TN
we pour these words across the page, I think they’re pretty neat
to play ‘em for the panelists
and a screen that counts for me
defining what it means to succeed
don’t know where we’re going
but we’ll keep singing till we do
build far from here
til we make it back to you
I’m a dog walker in my own little street
I lug my piano, and my sweet Sunny
and though we have so far to go, so many dreams to meet
I’ll sing these songs for you and for me
