Straight Into Mine

I was 22 and didn’t know who I was gonna be
So I thought I needed somebody to be my everything
It felt like true love just because he built me up
Only to tear me down
How’d I get there? I don’t know
This ain’t the life that the movies show
It felt like a waste of time
But you can grow from the tears that you’ve cried
And now I wear heels on a Friday night
Take a solo trip on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
I wear makeup because I can
Red lips for me, not some man
It’s about time I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
It’s funny how when I began
To dip my toes in the water of who I should have been
Little by little I started to see that
The best parts of me were
Wearing heels on a Friday night
Taking solo trips on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
I wear makeup because I can
Red lips for me, not some man
It’s about time I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
How’d I get there? I don’t know
This ain’t the life that the movies show
It felt like a waste of time
But you can grow from the tears that you’ve cried
And now I wear heels on a Friday night
Take a solo trip on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
I wear makeup because I can
Red lips for me, not some man
It’s about time I walked out of his life
About time that I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
Oh, straight into mine, yeah

Same Moon

Tell me what is farther?
Five thousand miles, or 400 years
Put on your armor
It can be dangerous to watch the dancing of a sphere
You looked through a telescope
Now I can get closer than you ever dreamed
You stared down kings and popes
The stars are closer than they seem
Same craters, same mountains, same dark, same light
You and me, we look at the same moon at night
We live in a different place and a different time
But you and me, we look at the same moon at night
Tell me what is harder?
To build a rocket ship, or put yourself in it
The sky got darker
And you climbed hundreds of miles in a minute
You took one small step
And left a sign for the universe to see
You had your heart set
An explorer sailing into an unknown sea
Same craters, same mountains, same dark, same light
You and me, we look at the same moon at night
We live in a different place and a different time
But you and me, we look at the same moon at night
She never turns
Her shadows stay the same just like the ones inside your eyes
All we learn
But some nights we still dream and we look up at the skies
Same craters, same mountains, same dark, same light
You and me, we look at the same moon at night
We live in a different place and a different time
But you and me, we look at the same moon at night

I was born under a bad sign
And the bad luck’s clinging to me like a vine
When the rain comes it always pours
Then it flashes and thunders some more
I’ve spent my whole life digging graves I
Loved somebody but I gave him away I
Make my fortunes get a little nervous
But I got a feeling something good’s about to surface
Don’t wipe my tears away
‘Cause they feel cool upon my face
Don’t let my hard times fool you
And don’t worry ‘cause I always pull through
I lost sight of my lucky star
But I’ve still got rhythm in my old guitar
There’s dark clouds and the river’s rising
I’m the queen of the silver lining
It’s a hard road I’ve traveled on
Seems I can drive forever and never see the dawn
I live by the headlights
But I’m rolling through the darkest of nights
Roll down my window to feel the wind blow
Through my hair and through the song on the radio
I’m riding on and paying my dues
But you can come at me with more bad news
Don’t wipe my tears away
‘Cause they feel cool upon my face
Don’t let my hard times fool you
And don’t worry ‘cause I always pull through
I lost sight of my lucky star
But I’ve still got rhythm in my old guitar
There’s dark clouds and the river’s rising
I’m the queen of the silver lining
And you can bury me low
But I’m like a seed and I’ll rise again and
I’ll continue to grow
And if you break my heart
Then I’ll write you a song....
and restart and move on
Don’t wipe my tears away
‘Cause they feel cool upon my face
Don’t let my hard times fool you
And don’t worry ‘cause I always pull through
I lost sight of my lucky star
But I’ve still got rhythm in my old guitar
There’s dark clouds and the river’s rising
I’m the queen of the silver lining

I was 22 and didn’t know who
I was gonna be, so I thought I needed
Somebody to be my everything
It felt like true love
Just because he built me up
Only to tear me down
How’d I get there I don’t know
This ain’t the life that movies show
If felt like a waste of time
But you can grow from the tears you’ve cried
Now I wear heels on Friday night
Take a solo trip on my own dime
Less baggage, I finally had it
And walked out of his life
I wear makeup because I can
Red lips for me not some man
About time I walked out of his life
Straight into mine
It’s funny how when I began
To dip my toes in the water of who I should've been
Little by little I started to see that
The best parts of me were
