The Story of 01742

A new chapter is coming ahead
This is the story of where it lead
Take my hand as we walk down this road
Starting at the 01742 zip code
The fading leaves has begun to turn
To give the season one last burn
Where a musky scent grows heavy in nose
My hair flies wildly as the cold wind blows

That was my first impression of you
How you widened out my focused view
Filling up from head to toe
A slow fire, that’s how you grow

The flakes come flying from above
My thoughts wander to what I can’t think of
An ocean between my past and my now
Is sailing me further away somehow
How to retain my thoughts in rows
When the fire is freezing under layers of clothes
Waiting in New York for the bell to ring
I fish for the hope that will come with spring

That was my first impression of you
How you widened out my focused view
Filling up from head to toe
A slow fire, that’s how you grow

The sun moves to the northern hemisphere
To light the trees that are yet so bare
I escape the daze for the Californian sun
With dearest of friendship through days of fun
Fulfilling dreams warms up the heart
Remembering the reason why I did depart
Once back in town with strength refilled
Planning the future I now shall build

That was my first impression of you
How you widened out my focused view
Filling up from head to toe
A slow fire, that’s how you grow

Fresh new start with lighter hair
I travel to find pieces of me everywhere
Family in Connecticut, friend in Maryland
The beauty of New Hampshire’s uneven land
The music in Tennessee and Florida’s ocean wide
Walking up Grand Canyon filled with pride
A snapshot of a wonder from the Niagara Falls
But Boston I still love you the most of all

That was my last impression of you
My home, my heart, my magnet, my glue
Filling up from head to toe
A pleasant peace, that’s when you're home


Just Say It

Let the words just leave your mind
Out from the dark, no longer blind
for what you really feel inside
Free from all the ropes you've tied

Reach for your favorite hat on the shelf
Bring your suitcase along with yourself
I know it's heavy, so hard to hold
But I know the content, no need to unfold


When the train is leaving our departure station

We'll fly the wind to a new location

Where days will be lighter and skies less grey

But darling I wonder - are we on our way?


Tear down that wall you've built up inside

And dig for the words you've tried to hide

Just no more games, I don't wanna play

I don't have forever, unless you stay


So say it out loud, rather sooner than later
Simple and honest without a translator
I know we've had it for very long
Please just say it, so I know it's not gone.


*Home*


I walk these roads I've walked before
They know my me all the way down the core
A familiar feeling rising up inside
To this place I can confide

Lost my beat


Someday I'll look back and remember
How we danced our way through September
No yesteday, no tomorrow
Only careless smiles without sorrow.

Now, I gaze up at the moon
I hear the whisltes, they're out of tune
Running and aching through my mind
Everytime I'm even close to rewind

Both of us afraid, of loving too much
Hesitantly held back, but longed the touch
There is no music, I lost my beat
Following your footprints as you left my street.

The sun rose again but my beat is still gone
Went down the drain of the morning yawn
It used to race my heart when you'd be around
Now it's gone, I hear no sound

In every crowd I see your face
It's like you're gone but left a trace
When I'm awake I cannot see
But as I close my eyes, you're haunting me

Well, someday came and I remember when
So I searched my purse to find a pen
Wrote down some words with ink dark blue
"I think you know I lost my beat to you"

You and Me

I fall, I fly

I'm low I'm high.

I dream, I long

I sing a song.
I face I run

I'm moon, I'm sun.

I'm brave, I'm shy

I fail, I try.


I crash, I burn

I live, I learn.

I'm "bye, I'm "hey

I'm here, I sway.

I sin, I pray

I'm night, I'm day.

I'm cold, I'm warm

I'm whole, I'm torn.


I'm scared, I'm brave

I'm lost, I'm saved.

I'm awake, I'm asleep

I'm shallow, I'm deep.

I'm gone, I'm found

I'm free, I'm bound.

I cry, I laugh

I'm one, I'm half.

I'm chained, I'm free

I'm you and me.


Thoughts

running inside my head
pushing against my eyes
Making me squint
I think too much, I know I do
Still, I never run out of them
The thoughts
My thoughts
I often wonder 'what if?'
but then I leave it there
After all it's just a thought
