Verse 1
We’ve got habits that feel like history
Shoes by the door, coffee cups in the sink
You cradle me close, my head on your chest
Like you’re guarding a promise unsaid
But all that love you etch on my skin
Somehow fades away by mornin’

Pre-Chorus
You’re holding my heart
But I’m just holding your hand

Chorus
I know you love me, but there’s no proof
Holdin onto shadows of you
Believing in love I can’t see.
You write “I love you” in disappearing ink


Verse 2
You say all the right things when the lights are low
Pull me close like you’ll never let go
It feels like forever when you kiss me at night
But in the day you just kiss me goodbye
Would you chase me barefoot across the lawn
Or just miss me when I'm gone.

Pre-Chorus
You’re holdin’ my heart
While I’m just holdin’ your hand

Chorus
I know you love me, but there’s no proof
Holdin onto shadows of you
Believing in love I can’t see.
You write “I love you” in disappearing ink

Bridge
Like young spies playing games
Writing in lemon on an old map page
If I hold your love notes up to the flame
Will they say “I love you too” or just burn away?

Final Chorus
Yeah, I know you love me but there’s no proof.
I can’t keep holding on to half of you.
Promises written on my skin fade by morning.

[Outro fade]
Our love burned away
yeah our love burned away
You can draw a picture of me walking away..... i'm disappearing ink.

[No Intro]

[Verse 1]
Would I be out of line if I asked you if you’d mind not talking?
You have his steel grey eyes and your calloused hand fits mine, just like his did
It drags me back, to another time, Into the arms of a man who once was mine.
I want to pretend I'm back with him, can you take me there tonight?

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me that you love me, just give me your touch.
I don’t need forever, tonight will be enough.
Kill all of the lights and lock the world outside.
Then I'll let go and drown myself in the memory of another night.

[Verse 2]
Tattered shades keep secrets safe, turning you into his shadow
Humming AC and bleach-white sheets, almost start to feel like home
As I beg the night to stay, my mind is consumed with his name.
‘Cause In the dark’s where I fall apart, too far gone to taste the shame.

[Chorus]
Don’t tell me that you love me, just give me your touch.
I don’t need forever, one night is enough.
Kill all of the lights and lock the world outside.
Then I’ll let go and drown myself in the memory of another night.

[Bridge]
When that Morning sun starts creeping, we’ll both just walk away
Two strangers with a secret in our hearts tucked away
A bedside bible the only witness, under a neon vacancy sign.
So before you open that door let’s not talk one more time.

[Final Chorus]
Don’t tell me that you love me, just give me your touch.
I don’t need forever, one night is enough.
Kill all of the lights and Lock the world outside.
Then I’ll let go and drown myself in the memory of another night.

[Whispered outro, isolated as the music fades out]
Just let me drown tonight

[Verse 1]
Back of a classroom wide-ruled page
Dreaming out loud at an early age
Said I'd be a name up in bright white lights
With a sold-out crowd every Friday night.
Big ol’ house and a long driveway
Everything I thought would make life great
Every dream in black and white
Yeah I thought I had it all outlined

[pre-chorus] [lift]
I was chasing every word I wrote back then
Never thinking what I might be missin’

[Chorus]
All the lines I wrote about a better life, never looked like this.
Didn't have your hand in mine or a porch swing or your kiss.
Never saw those quiet nights with you, thanking God for what I've found.
Yeah the life that would mean the most to me, is the life I didn't write down.

[Verse 2]
Lookin’ out the window midnight drive
Another stage in another town tonight
I was checking off everything on that page
But somethin’ still felt a little out of place
Phone lit up with a picture from home
Little feet runnin’ through the living room
And it really hit me somewhere in between
All I had and what I hadn’t seen

[Pre-Chorus] [Lift]
I was livin’ everything I dreamed about
While the best things waited back at the house

[Chorus]
All the lines I wrote about a better life, never looked like this.
Didn't have your hand in mine or a porch swing or your kiss
Never saw those quiet nights with you, thanking God for what I've found.
Yeah the life that would mean the most to me is the life I didn't write down

[Bridge]
I finally slowed down long enough to hear
It in your voice sayin’ “wish you were here”
On the other end of that midnight call
Was everything I didn’t write at all

[Chorus]
All the lines I wrote about a better life never looked like this
Didn't have your hand in mine or a porch swing or your kiss
Never saw those quiet nights with you, thanking God for what I've found
Yeah the life that would mean the most to me is the life I didn't write down

[Outro]
A life I didn't write down

Lost in Translation
Christine Joy and Heather Platania

[Verse 1]
Waves and drinks were rollin' in like the tide.
My Spanglish confidence was flyin high.
Orderin' "uno mas cervesa" from a thatched-roof bar
When she took my hand and said quieres bailar

[prechorus]
Moonlight danced in the corners of her eyes
My heart understood as soon as she smiled

[Chorus]
Oh I'm getting lost in translation
She don't speak my language
Somehow she understands me
Now Jose Cuervo's replacin' my whiskey
Yeah my heart's on permanent vacation
I'm getting lost in translation

[Verse 2]
She started teaching me Des-pa-cito, one kiss at a time
Laughing when I stumble over the lines
I just know enough to say besame
The rest gets lost when she looks at me

[prechorus]
Every 'si' comes a little more naturally
It's funny how love speaks fluently

[Chorus]
Oh I'm getting lost in translation
She don't speak my language
Somehow she understands me
Now Jose Cuervo's replacin' my whiskey
Yeah my heart's on permanent vacation
I'm getting lost in translation

[Bridge]
She's got me eatin' corn tortillas
Calls me corazón
I guess some things don't need translatin'
This little beach town's startin to feel like home


[Chorus]
I'm getting lost in translation
She don't speak my language
Somehow she understands me
Now Jose Cuervo's replacin' my whiskey
Yeah my heart's on permanent vacation
I'm getting lost in translation

[Tag]

Whoa-oh… I’m completely lost in translation.

Verse 1
We’ve been checkin’ all the boxes, playin’ by the rules
Workin’ late nights, actin’ like grown-up fools
Countin’ down the hours, watchin’ that clock
Now the tree’s lit up and we’re ready to rock

[Pre-Chorus]
So go on, set the good aside
Just for one night

[Chorus]
We’ve been good all year, doin’ it right
But tonight we’re stayin’ up past midnight
Hangin’ up the halos just for a bit
Baby, meet me on the naughty list

Stockings on the fireplace, lights down low
Laughin’ like kids while the cold wind blows
Santa might be watchin' but I can't resist
Baby, meet me on the naughty list

[Verse 2]
Fire cracklin’ while the vinyl spins
Red lipstick on my peppermint kiss
Barefoot dancin’ through the kitchen light
Yeah, this kind of trouble feels alright

[Pre-Chorus]
So go on, let the good slide
Just for one night

[Chorus]
We’ve been good all year, doin’ it right
But tonight we’re stayin’ up past midnight
Hangin’ up the halos just for a bit
Baby, meet me on the naughty list

Stockings on the fireplace, lights down low
Laughin’ like kids while the cold wind blows
Santa might be watchin' but I can't resist
Baby, meet me on the naughty list

[Bridge]
Guess we earned that coal alright
So let’s use it to stoke our fire
If bein’ bad means holdin’ you like this
Baby, I could get used to the naughty list

[Final Chorus]
We’ve been good all year, doin’ it right
But tonight we’re stayin’ up past midnight
Hangin’ up the halos just for a bit
Baby, meet me on the naughty list

Stockings on the fireplace, lights down low
Laughin’ like kids while the cold wind blows
Santa might be watchin' but I can't resist
Baby, meet me on the naughty list
Yeah baby meet me on the naughty list

Verse 1
Boy, you think you know me
’Cause you read the Cliff notes
How ’bout I push you off it
See how far that story goes

Pre
I hear you tellin’ your friends
Exactly where you have me
And I think we can finally agree…

Chorus
You say you’ve got me in the palm of your hand
Go on and reed me like a love line if you can
Keep dreaming if you want.
‘Cause the only place you’ll ever have me
Is in your palm
So dream on, dream on

Verse 2
Spinnin’ lines like a record player
Track by track, right on cue
Bet that side A's worked like magic
Guess you think I’ll dance to it too

Pre
I’ve heard this one before
You make it sound so easy
And I think we can finally agree…

Chorus
You say you’ve got me in the palm of your hand
Go on and reed me like a love line if you can
Keep dreaming if you want
‘Cause the only place you’ll ever have me
Is in your palm
So dream on, dream on

Bridge
You keep reaching for a future that was never yours to hold
Writing stories in your head that were never gonna unfold
You can chase that fantasy all night long
You just might find me between never and dawn.

Final Chorus
You say you’ve got me in the palm of your hand
Go on and reed me like a love line if you can
Keep dreaming if you want.
‘Cause the only place you’ll ever have me
Is in your palm
So dream on, dream on

Never thought I’d be jealous of a six string.
But you’ve got me unraveling.
Hangin’ off your shoulder like a memory.
Right where my hands aught a’ be.

Pre-Chorus
You call it a fantasy
But it’s chemistry
Oh yeah, lately… somethin’s got me reeling


Chorus
Go on, play her like you always do
Act like she’s the only thing that moves you
Yeah, she’s got you hangin’ on every string
But she can’t move you the way that I do
You say it’s love, not just a melody
Boy, you ain’t even scratched the surface of me
Didn’t think I’d intervene
Now all I’ve been seein’… is green


Verse 2
You keep reachin’ for that six string.
Like it’s all you’re ever gonna need.
The way you pick her slow is gonna kill me.
Trailin' fingers up her neck like a tease.

Pre-Chorus
You call it a fantasy
But it’s chemistry
Oh yeah, lately… somethin’s got me reeling


Chorus
Go on, play her like you always do.
Act like she’s the only thing that moves you.
Yeah, she’s got you hangin’ on every string.
But she can’t move you the way that I do.
You say it’s love, not just a melody.
Boy, you ain’t even scratched the surface of me.
Didn’t think I’d intervene
Now all I’ve been seein’… is green



Bridge
Go ahead, hold her close tonight.
Let her keep you satisfied.
But when the lights go down, you’re gonna need.
Somethin’ she can’t provide.

Ain’t no wood and wire gonna take my place.
Ain’t no song gonna touch you that way.
Yeah, you can play her all night on repeat.
But she’ll never play you like me


Final Chorus
Go on, play her like you always do
Act like she’s the only thing that moves you
Yeah, she’s got you hangin’ on every string
But she can’t move you the way that I do
You say it’s love, not just a melody
Boy, you ain’t even scratched the surface of me
Didn’t think I’d intervene
Now all I’ve been seein’ is green

Outro
All I’ve been seein’… is green

Verse 1
Barefoot runnin', wood screen door slams
Honeysuckle hanging on the warm night air
Mama callin', I just rolled my eyes
She said “Girl you’ll catch your death with that wet hair.”

Pre-Chorus
She mapped out every landmine in this world
But Momma missed one

Chorus
She didn't warn me I'd lose myself
Somewhere in your blue eyes
How your shoulder'd feel at two a.m.
Countin’ stars until sunrise
Quicksand, wildfire, and whiskey
Were all dangers I knew
But Momma missed One
She never warned me about you

Verse 2
Now I'm sneakin' out my bedroom window
Leavin' curfew far behind
My heart’s playing with matches tonight
Momma's "Girl, be careful" farthest from my mind.

Pre-Chorus
She mapped out every landmine in this world
But Momma missed one

Chorus
She didn't warn me I'd lose myself
Somewhere in your blue eyes
How your shoulder'd feel at two a.m.
Countin' stars until sunrise.
Quicksand, wildfire, and whiskey
Were all dangers I knew
But Momma missed One
She never warned me about you

Bridge
Maybe she knew she was me at twenty-two
Knew some lessons can't be learned
'Til you put your hand right on the hot stove
Some hearts are worth the burn

Final Chorus
She didn't warn me I'd lose myself
Somewhere in your blue eyes
How your shoulder'd feel at two a.m.
Countin' stars 'Till sunrise
Quicksand, wildfire, and whiskey
Were all dangers I knew
But Maybe momma just let me choose
She didn't need to warn me about you

[TAKE THE BROKEN HEART
Written by Christine Joy and Marialaina DiFalco

[Verse 1]
Music so loud I can feel the bass pounding like a second heart in my chest
Beer flowin’ on a Friday Night heat of summertime makin’ my glass sweat
A smilin’, swayin’ with your eyes closed photo’s one final memory I can keep
‘cause me holdin’ you close in this slow dance is a last time thing

[Chorus]
Already miss your touch, gonna hurt me to give you up
But sometimes love means doin’ what’s tough,
‘cause I could never be enough
That what I could give you and what you dream are too far apart
Gotta mess things up make us come undone
so I’ll be the one to Take the Broken Heart

[Verse 2]
House facin’ west, with white picket fence; raisin’ children pushin’ swings
But that picture perfect painting that means everything, girl just ain’t me
Missed calls, fadin’ texts, bein’ ’bout my friends will lead to your goodbye
Want you to check that box, find a better fit even as I’m dyin’ inside

[Chorus]
Already miss your touch, gonna hurt me to give you up
But sometimes love means doin’ what’s tough,
‘cause I could never be enough
That what I could give you and what you dream are too far apart
Gotta mess things up make us come undone
so I’ll be the one to Take the Broken Heart

[Bridge]
I saw your picture
with a couple of kids
house in the background
white picket fence
A smile sayin’ you’re livin’ your dream
Havin’ a part in that means everything to me

[Chorus]
I still miss your touch, God it hurt me to give you up
But sometimes love means doin’ what’s tough,
‘cause I would never be enough
what I could give you and what you dreamed were too far apart
Had to mess things up make us come undone
so I’d be the one to Take the Broken Heart

Secondhand hearts in a corner booth
Searchin' for a fresh start.
You laugh like you’ve been hurt before
I smile to hide my scars
We don’t rush into the deep end
Chorus
We let the quiet fill the room
You feel my hesitation
And ask what to do
Hold me close, like what dreams are made of
Don’t leave when life gets rough
Don’t make me beg for your touch
Show me I’m always enough
I just want to be loved like that
If it’s not too much to ask
Verse 2
Watchin' moths in the porch light
Neither wants to say goodbye.
You’re scared of sayin' too much,
I’m scared this feels too right.
Sometimes we almost pull away
Old habits take the wheel
Scared to break the silence
Show me this is real
Hold me close, like what dreams are made of
Don’t leave when life gets rough
Don’t make me beg for your touch
Show me I’m always enough
I just want to be loved like that
If it’s not too much to ask
We We We dondon’t ’t pretend pretend wewe’re ’re not not afraid
afraid
Reach Reach for for my my hand hand like like you you memean it
And I won't run away
Chorus
Hold me close, like what dreams are made of
Don’t leave when life gets rough
Don’t make me beg for your touch
Show me I’m always enough
I just want to be loved like that
Oh I'll hold you close like what an dreams are made it
of,
I won't leave I when like gets rough
I wonwon''t t make make you you beg beg for for my my touch
touch
I'I'll ll show show you you youyou''re re already already enoughenough
Yeah, if you want to be loved like that
Oh, baby just ask
Cause’ it’s not too much to ask

[verse 1]
What makes you think
You can undrink that last shot of whiskey?
'Cause I can't unsee
How you looked at me as you walked out the door

[Pre-chorus]
We can't put that last sunset
Back into the sky
There's no way to unwave
That last goodbye

[Chorus]
Don't think just 'cause you're back
We can undo the past.
Can't unsay forever
Can't unmake you bed
Can't rewind that track
I'm not crying
But I'd be lying
If I said I'm over you
Yeah, you don't get round two
'Cause I'm getting around to unloving you

[Verse 2]
You disappeared, now I can't unhear
The promises you broke
That bridge can't unburn
I can't unlearn the lies you spoke

[Pre-chorus]
I'm not asking for a fight
I'm done asking you to stay
There's no version of tonight
That unwrites yesterday

[Chorus]
Don't think just 'cause you're back
We can undo the past.
Can't unsay forever
Can't unmake you bed
Can't rewind that track

I'm not crying
But I'd be lying
If I said I'm over you
Yeah, you don't get round two
'Cause I'm getting around to unloving you

[Bridge]

You came back with sorry
But sorry showed up late
And my heart ain't standing still
Waiting on you to change

[Final Chorus]
Don't think just 'cause you're back
We can undo the past.
Can't unsay forever
Can't unmake you bed
Can't rewind that track
I'm not crying
But I'd be lying
If I said I'm over you
Yeah, you don't get round two
'Cause I'm finally done loving you

WHO YOU USED TO BE
Written By: Heather Platania & Christine Joy

Verse 1
Can you tell me where do fallen angels go
When they lose their will to fly
Can you tell me how do they learn to live again
Where do they go to cry
Can you tell me will you remember my name
Would you recognize my face
Have I been gone too long this time
Have I fallen from grace

Chorus
I don't want to fall asleep tonight
I don't know what demons I might find
The world has turned its back on me
Now hate is all that's left where you used to be
(male echo: where you used to be...)

Post-Chorus
[male vocals]
Who you used to be (Whoa-oh)
Who you used to be (Whoa-oh)
Who you used to be (Whoa-oh)
Who you used to be

Verse 2
Every night I'm talkin' to the ceiling fan,
Prayin' for a reason, any kind of plan.
Faith slipped through my hands like sand,
Now I'm just fightin' shadows, man.
I go lookin' for you — but I can't tell,
All I hear's my own living hell.
If I fell from grace, then where'd I land?
'Cause I don't even recognize this man.
The mirror don't lie — it just looks back,
Eyes so tired, they fade to black.
Hope packed its bags and left at dawn,
And I'm still here when the night drags on...
[dramatic build]

Bridge
I don't know anything about life
I don't know a damn thing about love
The only thing I knew was you
And now you're just somethin' I was...
(female echo, distant: where are you... I can't find you...)
Yeah, I tried to pray for you, but the line went dead,
All these voices echo in my head.
If faith's a fire, mine's burned out —
But I'm still whisperin' my doubt...






Chorus
I don't want to close my eyes
I don't know what demons I might find
I wish the world would just set me free
'Cause hate is all that's left where you used to be
(female echo: where you used to be...)
Where you used to be... I can't sleep, I can't breathe...

Outro
Who you used to be (where are you...)
Who you used to be (I can't find you...)
Who you used to be (where are you...)
I can't sleep, I can't breathe

There’s one blinking light where the highway ends
Couple old trucks and a Shell station
That’s about all that town’s got going on
But there's a reason I keep comin back.

My buddies laugh when I leave at night
Say, “Man, that’s one hell of a drive”
I just grin and let ’em talk

Pre-Chorus
They call me crazy for makin’ that ride
If they knew her, they’d understand

Chorus
She’s worth the drive
Worth burnin’ up a Friday night
Worth every mile when she’s on my mind
One “come on over”
And I’m gone every time
Yeah, I’d do it all over for the rest of my life
She’s worth the drive

Verse 2

A porch light’s the first thing I see
Then her in my sweatshirt and bare feet
She’s already halfway down the steps
I ain’t even put it in park

From that first kiss at the county fair
Cotton candy lips and Golden hair.
I didn't stand a chance.

Pre-Chorus
They still call it crazy, I just smile
If they knew her, they’d understand

Chorus
She’s worth the drive
Worth burnin’ up a Friday night
Worth every mile when she’s on my mind
One “come on over”
And I’m gone every time
Yeah, I’d do it all 0ver for the rest of my life
She’s worth the drive

Bridge

There’s girls right here in my hometown
I’ve wasted gas chasin’ them around
Then I found my porch light at the end of the night
Kind of forever girl that’s worth the drive.


Final Chorus
She’s worth the drive
Worth every county line
Worth every late-night mile
Just to see her smile
One “come on over”
And I’m gone every time
Yeah, I’d do it all over for the rest of my life
She’s worth the drive

Yeah, she’s worth the drive

Verse 1
You slid in barefoot, slammed the door
Left half the beach on my truck floor
Hair still drippin’, cut-off sleeves
Bonfire smoke and an ocean breeze
Radio low, county line
You stole a kiss at the yellow light
Said, “Keep driving...”
Couldn’t stop if I tried
Pre-Chorus
One sideways grin
One green light
That’s all it took
Chorus
That summer stayed with me
Long after you’d gone
Your tan lines, that moonlight
Embers glowing till dawn
Every wave says your name
Every breeze brings you near
If Heaven smells like summer
It’d be Saltwater & Cedar
Verse 2
That old dock still leans the same
Like it’s waiting where you waved
I still catch your perfume
When the tide rolls in too soon
Everybody says move on
But this coast won’t let me
Every sunset finds another way
To bring you back to me

Pre-Chorus
Some things fade
This became
A part of me
Chorus
That summer stayed with me
Long after you’d gone
Your tan lines, that moonlight
Embers glowing till dawn
Every wave says your name
Every breeze brings you near
If Heaven smells like summer
It’d be Saltwater & Cedar
Bridge
One deep breath...
I’m right back there
Your hand in mine
Then the silence hits
Like you never left
Final Chorus
Saltwater & Cedar
Still hanging in the air
If love leaves anything behind
It’s right there
Every wave still pulls me back
Every memory starts right here
If heaven smells like summer...
It smells like her
Saltwater & Cedar
Saltwater & Cedar

Echoes In The Mirror (Male Version)
Written and Composed by Heather Platania & Christine Joy
Producer & Vocalist:

Verse 1
Midnight in a borrowed face
Starin’ back, I know that place
Tryna wash off yesterday
But it never fades away

Hands against the sink, I wait
For the noise to hesitate
But it lingers in the room
Like it’s got somethin’ to prove

Pre-Chorus
Every time I think it’s gone
It just waits and carries on

Chorus
Echoes in the mirror
Echoes in the mirror
Call me out a little clearer now
Every version I outgrew
Still standin’ in the room
I can try to dim the picture
But it only cuts in quicker
Every shadow I’ve lived through
Ain’t no way to disappear from
Echoes in the mirror…

Verse 2
Same eyes in the glass
But I don’t recognize my past
Every word I let slip
Still hangin’ on my lips

Fingerprints on the glass
From a life in my past
And it won’t fade away
No matter what I say

Pre-Chorus 2
Every road I tried to reroute
Leads me right back here somehow

Chorus
Echoes in the mirror
Echoes in the mirror
Call me out a little clearer now
Every version I outgrew
Still standin’ in the room
I can try to dim the picture
But it only cuts in quicker
Every shadow I’ve lived through
Ain’t no way to disappear from
Echoes in the mirror

Bridge
I can hear it louder now
Don’t know how to drown it out
All this time I ran away
But it never walked away
Turns out I’m the voice I couldn’t outrun
Yeah, I’m the voice I couldn’t outrun

Final Chorus
Echoes in the mirror
Echoes in the mirror
Call me out a little clearer now
Ain’t no way to disappear from
Echoes in the mirror
Echoes in the mirror

Verse 1
You hit the door, midnight hit back
Silver on your wrist, dressed black on black
The beat dropped hard, you dropped every jaw
Like the night finally got what it came here for
Pre-Chorus
You don’t chase the spotlight
It follows every move
Chorus
Loud looks good on you
Neon in your eyes, bass beatin’ through your boots
You turn a Friday night into headline news
Girl, nothing quiet ’bout the way you move
One smile and the whole place comes unglued
Yeah, loud looks good on you
Loud looks good on you
Verse 2
No mic in your hand, still stealin’ the show
You make every beat in the room your own
Every step sends a spark through the floor
By the second chorus, they’re screamin’ for more
Pre-Chorus
You don’t chase the spotlight
It follows every move
Chorus
Loud looks good on you
Neon in your eyes, bass beatin’ through your boots
You turn a Friday night into headline news
Girl, nothing quiet ’bout the way you move
One smile and the whole place comes unglued
Yeah, loud looks good on you
Bridge
You don’t have to say a word
Somehow everybody heard
I’ve seen your quiet, love your stillness
There’s somethin’ ’bout you turned up like this
Final Chorus
Loud looks good on you
Neon in your eyes, bass beatin’ through your boots
You turn a Friday night into headline news
Girl, nothing quiet ’bout the way you move
One smile and the whole place comes unglued
Yeah, loud looks good on you
Post-Chorus
Loud looks good
Loud looks good on you

Be Like Noah
Written by Christine Joy and Heather Platania

Blue sky, dry ground
Not a cloud for miles around
God said build, he didn't ask why
Picked up a hammer and trusted the sky

[Pre-Chorus]
Let 'em laugh, let 'em doubt
Faith don't need a forecast now

[Chorus]
I want to be like Noah.
Keep swinging that hammer
when the whole world says I'm crazy
Trust what heaven tells me
Faith is building before the rain
Hey, I want to be like Noah
I want to be like Noah

[Verse 2]
No bridge, cliff edge
Turn around or take that step
Still I falter, I hesitate
I want to surrender, lead the way

[Pre-Chorus]
Let 'em laugh, let 'em doubt
Your voice is all I need right now

[Chorus]
I want to be like Noah.
Keep swinging that hammer
when the whole world says I'm crazy
Trust what heaven tells me
Faith is building before the rain
Hey, I want to be like Noah
I want to be like Noah

[Bridge]
Then that first drop hit the ground
And every laugh went quiet
He didn't need the rain to know
Your word would stand behind it

[Chorus]
I want to be like Noah.
Keep swinging that hammer
when the whole world says I'm crazy
Trust what heaven tells me
Faith is building before the rain
I want to be like Noah

[Outro]
If you say build, I'll build it every day
Hey, I want to be like Noah
I want to be like Noah

[Verse 1]
I always had a smart mouth answer
And a story to back it up
A few names I never mentioned
And a heart that had enough
I told anybody who would listen
The whole damn thing was counterfeit
But you became the evidence
I just hadn't met love yet

[Chorus]
I owe love an apology
Blamed it for every goodbye
Called it a pretty little promise
That always turned into a lie
Turns out it was never the problem
I just never knew what it could be
Now that I've seen you and me
I owe love an apology

[Verse 2]
You hear what I don't know how to say
And stay when the day falls apart
Never hold my words against me
Or run when I let down my guard
With you forever ain't a warning
It's your hand finding mine in the dark
Yeah you are the evidence
I hadn't met love yet

[Chorus]
I owe love an apology
Blamed it for every goodbye
Called it a pretty little promise
That always turned into a lie
Turns out it was never the problem
I just never knew what it could be
Now that I've seen you and me
I owe love an apology

[Bridge]
Here's to the fool I was
And the woman who proved me wrong
Love I hope you'll forgive me
For blaming you all along

[Chorus]
I owe love an apology
Blamed it for every goodbye
Called it a pretty little promise
That always turned into a lie
Now I know it was never the problem
I just never knew what it could be
Till you showed me what it looks like
You and me
I owe love an apology

Verse 1
You held me like a river rock,
rollin' me around
Findin' every flaw,
wearin' every soft spot down
Little digs, little hits,
word after word bit by bit,
whittled me down
'til I fit the shape of your hurt

Chorus
You've chipped me away 'til all my edges are sharp
I'm a broken arrow where you used to have my heart
Flint against flint, that's how we caught that spark
Now I'm cut from the same stone that tore me apart
You made me this way sharp enough to scar
I'm a broken arrow... and you're still my weakest part


Verse 2
Now the word around town
is you miss what you broke
You started the fire
Then disappeared like smoke
You built this dagger
Don't act surprised
It's tempered in cold
Made for cutting ties

Chorus
You've chipped me away 'til all my edges are sharp
I'm a broken arrow where you used to have my heart
Flint against flint, that's how we caught that spark
Now I'm cut from the same stone that tore me apart
You made me this way sharp enough to scar
I'm a broken arrow... and you're still my weakest part



Bridge
Truth is I still love you
More than I want to
Some nights I still reach
For the ghost of you
Guess that's what happens
When forever falls apart
You broke the arrow...
But never let go of my heart

Final Chorus
You've chipped me away 'til all my edges are sharp
I'm a broken arrow where you used to have my heart
Flint against flint, that's how we caught that spark
Now I'm cut from the same stone that tore me apart
You made me this way sharp enough to scar
I'm a broken arrow... and you're still my weakest part

Outro
Stop pulling me back, let this broken arrow finally fly free

NO WAY / NO HOW
Written By: Christine Joy & Heather Platania

How about

INTRO
Not here, not now, not for a minute
Not ever
Oh no

VERSE 1
Your “baby, I’m sorry” falls flat on the floor
I know that look, I’ve seen it before
I keep my coat on, my boots ready to walk
One turn, one step, and I’m done with the talk

PRE-CHORUS
You’re huntin’ for a ghost, I’m already gone
Too close, too loud, too late, too wrong

CHORUS
Not here, not now, no way, no how
You and me are done forever
Not here, not now, no way, no how
Just to be clear, not ever
Not here, not now, no way, no how

VERSE 2
Listen up, don’t make me say it twice
Same promise, same story, same old lies
You can’t take back a thing you’ve done
Too little, too late, too bad I’m gone

PRE-CHORUS
You keep calling my name like I might stay
But the girl who believed you walked away

CHORUS
Not here, not now, no way, no how
You and me are done forever
Not here, not now, no way, no how
Just to be clear, not ever
Not here, not now, no way, no how

BRIDGE
If you reach for my sleeve
You’ll catch empty air
Like I was never there

FINAL CHORUS
Not here, not now, no way, no how
You and me are done forever
Not here, not now, no way, no how
Just to be clear, not ever
Not here, not now, no way, no how

OUTRO
No way
No way, no how
Not now, not ever

Not here
Not now
No way, no how

[Verse 1]
I keep hearing my name all over town
A year later, you'd think it'd die down
Saw you last week, barely said hello
Now she's telling folks I can't let go.

[pre-chorus]
Well, I'm done being the only one holding my tongue.

[Chorus]
You need to tell your girl to move on
We still live in this town, but our love is long gone.
Paths are bound to cross from time to time
That don't mean I'm trying to cross a line
She's the only one who can't let it be
Oh, It's flattering
But, tell your girl to get over me

[Verse 2]
Let her talk, spin what she wants
My conscience is clear, the truth's all I got
She keeps twisting glances into lies
I won't waste my breath asking why.

[pre-chorus, angry, chopped vocal]
Well, I'm done being the only one holding my tongue.

[Chorus]
You need to tell your girl to move on
We still live in this town, But our love is long gone.
Paths are bound to cross from time to time
That don't mean I'm trying to cross a line
She's the only one who can't let it be
Oh, It's flattering.
But, tell your girl to get over me

[Bridge]
She's more into me, than you ever were
I'm starting to think she's trying to flirt

[Final Chorus]
You need to tell your girl to move on
We still live in this town, But our love is long gone.
Paths are bound to cross from time to time
That don't mean I'm trying to cross a line
She's the only one who can't let it be
Oh, It's flattering.
But, tell your girl to get over me.

[Outro]
I'm telling you for the last time,
Tell your girl to get over me

APPLY WITHIN
Written by Heather Platania & Christine Joy
Verse 1
Friday at five, I hung up a sign
ONE NIGHT ONLY, APPLY INSIDE
Good with his hands, knows his way 'round tools
Late night position, no clock out rules
Pre-Chorus
He read it twice as he pulled on in
Grinned slow and said, "Where do I begin?"
Chorus
Handyman wanted, apply within
Friday night, let the work begin
Bring your own tools and take your time
There might be overtime tonight
Boots by the door, shirt on the floor
Do it right, and I’ll ask for more
Tag
Handyman wanted, apply within
Verse 2
Got the water flowin', patched every crack
Tightened what was loose, got the power back
Fixed that bed squeak, took his sweet time
I kept findin' one more job all night
Pre-Chorus
Still a few more rooms we ain't been in yet
He said, "Good, I ain't even breakin' a sweat"
Chorus
Handyman wanted, apply within
Friday night, let the work begin
Bring your own tools and take your time
There might be overtime tonight
Boots by the door, shirt on the floor
Do it right, and I’ll ask for more
Tag
Handyman wanted, apply within
Bridge
He said, "Baby, you could've just called my name"
I said, "Where's the fun in playin' it that way?"
After all these years, he's still my number one
Guess I hired right, he still gets it done
Final Chorus
Handyman wanted, apply within
Friday night, let the work begin
Bring your own tools and take your time
There might be overtime tonight
Boots by the door, shirt on the floor
Do it right, and I’ll ask for more
Tag / Outro
Handyman wanted, apply within
Apply within
Apply within
Sorry, boys, position filled

Unloving You
Christine Joy and Heather Platania

[Verse 1]

What makes you think
You can undrink that last Tito's and Lime?
’Cause I can’t unsee
How you looked at me
As you walked out the door

[Pre-Chorus]

We can’t put that last sunset
Back into the sky
There’s no way to unwave
That last goodbye

[Chorus]

Don’t think just ’cause you’re back
We can undo the past
Can’t unsay forever,
Can't Unmake the mess you made
Can’t rewind that track.

I’m not crying
But I’d be lying
If I said I’m over you
Yeah, you don’t get a round two
I’m getting damn good at unlovin’ you

[Verse 2]

You disappeared, now I can’t unhear
Every promise that you broke
That bridge can’t unburn
I can’t unlearn
The lies you spoke

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m not asking for a fight
I’m done asking you to stay
There’s no version of tonight
That unwrites yesterday

[Chorus]

Don’t think just ’cause you’re back
We can undo the past
Can’t unsay forever,
Can't Unmake the mess you made
Can’t rewind that track.

I’m not crying
But I’d be lying
If I said I’m over you
Yeah, you don’t get a round two
I’m getting damn good at unlovin’ you

[Bridge]

I still know your number
I just don’t answer that part of me
Some goodbyes don’t break you
They finally set you free

[Final Chorus]

Don’t think just ’cause you’re back
We can undo the past
Can’t unsay forever
Can't Unmake the mess you made
Can’t rewind that track

I’m not crying
But I’d be lying
If I said I’m over you
Yeah, you don’t get round two
’Cause I’m finally done unloving you

Never thought I’d be jealous of a six string.
But you’ve got me unraveling.
Hangin’ off your shoulder like a memory.
Right where my hands aught a’ be.

Pre-Chorus
You call it a fantasy
But it’s chemistry
Oh yeah, lately somethin’s got me reeling


Chorus
Go on, play her like you always do
Act like she’s the only thing that moves you
Yeah, she’s got you hangin’ on every string
But she can’t move you the way that I do
You say it’s love, not just a melody
Boy, you ain’t even scratched the surface of me
Didn’t think I’d intervene
Now all I’ve been seein’ is green


Verse 2
You keep reachin’ for that six string.
Like it’s all you’re ever gonna need.
The way you pick her slow is gonna kill me.
Trailin' fingers up her neck like a tease.

Pre-Chorus
You call it a fantasy
But it’s chemistry
Oh yeah, lately somethin’s got me reeling


Chorus
Go on, play her like you always do.
Act like she’s the only thing that moves you.
Yeah, she’s got you hangin’ on every string.
But she can’t move you the way that I do.
You say it’s love, not just a melody.
Boy, you ain’t even scratched the surface of me.
Didn’t think I’d intervene
Now all I’ve been seein’… is green



Bridge
Go ahead, hold her close tonight.
Let her keep you satisfied.
But when the lights go down, you’re gonna need.
Somethin’ she can’t provide.

Ain’t no wood and wire gonna take my place.
Ain’t no song gonna touch you that way.
Yeah, you can play her all night on repeat.
But she’ll never play you like me.


Final Chorus
Go on, play her like you always do
Act like she’s the only thing that moves you
Yeah, she’s got you hangin’ on every string
But she can’t move you the way that I do
You say it’s love, not just a melody
Boy, you ain’t even scratched the surface of me
Didn’t think I’d intervene
Now all I’ve been seein' is green

Outro
All I’ve been seein’ is green

[Verse 1]
Back when forever meant Friday night
I'd draw an X across my chest
Every secret felt like life or death
Swear I'd keep it to my final breath

[Pre-Chorus]
I still trace that same old sign
Now it means forever this time

[Chorus]
He took my shame, He bore the scars
Left his cross upon my heart
I broke promises, I swore I'd keep
His promise is still holding me
He said it's finished, I believe
I don't have to earn what's free
He gave his word, He gave his life
I cross my heart and give Him mine

[Verse 2]
Now I've lived long enough to know
Even good intentions come and go
I've made promises I couldn't keep
Still grace shows up when I get weak

[Pre-Chorus]
I still trace that same old sign
Now it means forever this time

[Chorus]
He took my shame, He bore the scars
Left his cross upon my heart
I broke promises, I swore I'd keep
His promise is still holding me
He said it's finished, I believe
I don't have to earn what's free
He gave his word, He gave his life
I cross my heart and give Him mine

[Bridge]
I used to say it so You'd believe
Now the cross is all the proof I need

He took my shame, He bore the scars
Left his cross upon my heart
I broke promises, I swore I'd keep
His promise is still holding me
He said it's finished, I believe
I don't have to earn what's free
He gave his word, He gave his life
I cross my heart and give Him mine
