You young boys with loud guitars
You think you did it first
To make them girls with pretty eyes
Dance within their skirts
I’ll tell you son
You weren’t the one
Who bent your little note
It was a woman
Round and bold
Too blind and proud to boast
Sing for us Arizona
From your tried and true street corner
The blessings rain on down
From your invisible crown
Sing queen Arizona
From your tried and true street corner
Blessings rain on down
From your crown, from your crown
You young boys with banjos too
You better read between the lines
Cause history will soon repeat
And you’ll repent for all your crimes
I’ll tell you son you haven’t won
Till you can say to yourself
That Arizona’s sweet sweet song
Built your trophy shelf
Sing for us Arizona
From your tried and true street corner
The blessings rain on down
From your invisible crown
Sing queen Arizona
From your tried and true street corner
Blessings rain on down
From your crown, from your crown

Light Echoes

I would have bet at every frame
That you and I were just the same
I could guess at every turn
You and I were built to crash and burn
But light, it echoes
Light it moves the flame
And like a sparrow
It carries every claim
Seeing you again, you seeing me
I am learning you’re my ecstasy
And with every single gaze
You confirm that this is our space
Cause light, it echoes
Light it moves the flame
And like a sparrow
It carries every claim
Cause light, it echoes
Light it moves the flame
And like a sparrow
It carries every claim

Mary Go Round
Tell me what I’ve been missing
I wasn’t listening
Mary Go Round
Tell me you saw it happen
Was it always broken?
Here I go
Here I go again
Your wheels they turn
Off the rails instead
Carousel
Let me get off this one time
Is this a whole new ride
Carousel
I promise to climb right back
And follow your whim
Here I go
Here I go again
Your wheels they turn
Off the rails instead
Every time I board
Someone lets me know
That I’ll get thrown again
Every time I’m told
That I’m all alone
Mary takes the wheel again
Here I go
Here I go again
Your wheels they turn
Off the rails instead
Here I go
Here I go again
Your wheels they turn
Off the rails instead

Watch Me Bend

All I want is a sweet goodbye
All I want is a night on the town
But with every step we take
All you talk about is what we'll make
I am not prepared for this
How could I even know what's right
Pinned against a wall
All I do is fall
Back again
To way back when
Watch me bend, watch me bend
Till the branches of my spirit start to wend
Watch me bend, bend
Till our love cracks under pressure of the wind
I am here and you know just why
I no longer think your plans are so sly
But while you're busy spinning fairy tales
I will tend the fire so it don't pale
I am not prepared for this
How could I even know what's right
Pinned against a wall
All I do is fall
Back again
To way back when
Watch me bend, watch me bend
Till the branches of my spirit start to wend
Watch me bend, bend
Till our love cracks under pressure of the wind
