Lyrics
Days I Regret
Words & Music by Allie Moss
It kills me to say it, but these are the days I regret
Never having said what should’ve been said
While I had the time, while you were still mine
It pains me to admit, but these are the times I regret
Never having said what could’ve been said
While I had your ear, while you were still near
Why didn’t I speak?
Why didn’t I tell you all you mean to me?
Why didn’t I tell you?
Why didn’t I tell you?
While I had the time
While I had your ear
While I had your heart
Before we were apart
It kills me to say it, but these are the days I regret
Let It Go
Words by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
Music by Allie Moss
My words in your mouth, finishing my phrase
It’s no surprise
That over these last four thousand days
You have become the one who can read my eyes
Darlin’ you see
The fear in me
And how I’d finally be
If I were willing to let it go
My hand in your hand underneath the table
Keeps me composed
Somehow you understand that I am more able than I know
Brave enough to let it go
Darlin’ you see
The fear in me
And how I’ll finally be
When I am willing to let it go
I don’t want to hold on tight to the
Ways that bring the death of me
Do the same thing over and over again
Expecting something different
You untether me…
Darlin’ I see
The fear in me
And now I’m finally willing to let it go
Magnified Times Twenty
Words & Music by Allie Moss
I’m heaping compliments on you
But you turn them away
Why can’t you believe me when I say
You’re lovely, you’re lovely?
I don’t need a list of
Every flaw you think of
It won’t change my mind
Magnified times twenty
We can all find plenty
Of blemishes and lines
Your sighs are a dead giveaway
That you punish yourself
And you don’t believe me when I say
You’re normal, you’re normal
You don’t need a list of
Every thought you think of
Each murderous sin
Magnified times twenty
We can all find plenty
Of darkness within
Maybe today will be new?
I don’t need a list of
Every flaw you think of
It won’t change my mind
Magnified times twenty
We can all find plenty
Of blemishes and lines
Maybe today will be new?
Maybe today will be new?
Passerby
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
I am a passerby
Half-smile as you cut in line
Hold the door to be polite
You’re on your way and I’m on mine
I don’t know the day you’ve had
I don’t know where your head is at
You’re not a friend of mine
I am just a passerby
CHORUS:
What if I knew your name?
What if we had the same home room?
What if the things that tie us are stronger than we knew?
What if we’d shared a pint?
What if we cheered the same team?
What if these moments between us mean more than we could dream?
Would I have grace for you and you for me?
Long days have made us numb
I don’t know where you’re coming from
I can’t look you in the eye
I am just a passerby
CHORUS
Would I have grace for you and you for me?
I am a passerby, I am just a passerby
Prisoner of Hope
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
The bar is set so high that I can walk right under
Can’t reach even on my tippy toes
No matter how far I’ve run in training for this marathon
I trip and fall, lose by a nose
Then something taps me on the shoulder
I listen when it’s older than me
CHORUS:
It says, Look up
Reach out your hand
You can’t see anything new
’til you change where you stand
I’ll throw you a rope
You know you’re just a fellow prisoner of hope
Another day, another no
Sucker punch leaves me bunched on the floor (woe is me)
This is when I fall into a downward spiral
Negative thoughts feed vanity (and I’m so hungry)
Then something taps me on the shoulder
I listen when it’s older than me
CHORUS
From the high wall
Sometimes all we see is how hard we could fall
So what if we do
Rise mud-scraped and bruised
Maybe we have to be a little bit broken to hear hope call
CHORUS
Rally
Words & Music by Allie Moss
When there’s nothing I can say to make things better
I sling my arm around your shoulder like a sweater
Try to bear some of the burden that you’re wearing
But I can’t seem to lift you
There’s nothing that makes me smile like your laughter
But this is not quite your happily ever after
Comedy or tragedy, we’ll write this one together
I’ll be there for you
CHORUS
We’ll rally, rally
We’ll rally around you
We’ll rally, rally around you
When every gift I’d give is not befitting
And I see it in your eyes, the thought of quitting
I gather all my strength and then the people who love you
We’re here now for you
CHORUS
A band of two keeps warmer than just one
And a strand of three is not easily broken
CHORUS
Something To Hold On To
Words & Music by Allie Moss
You give me something to hold on to
I hear your voice and it quiets my mind
Every beautiful melody
Every perfect piercing line
You give me something to hold on to
CHORUS:
You are a vessel of light
To me tonight
And while i wrestle with demons and appetites
I cling to you
You give me something to hold on to
You tell the stories I need you to tell
Something in the way you sing
Pulls me out of my lonely hell
You give me something to hold on to
Sing to me...
CHORUS
Sing to me, sing to me
Your meloncholy song
Sing to me, sing to me
And i will hold on
CHORUS
Way With Words
Words & Music by Allie Moss
You have such a way with words
They jump out from the page to pierce my mind
And I hold them there
And repeat them to myself
Memorize them start to end til they are mine
And I know them well
You have such a way with words
You have such a way with words
Whispered in my ear they sting my heart
And I hide them there
Hum them to a melody
Hoping that as I sing I do my part
To make them more alive
You have such a way with words
You have such a way with words
No one can say it better than you do
So I don't try to
I just hide them in my heart
Knowing the change they bring to me is from
The inside out
You have such a way with words
You
Words & Music by Allie Moss
You have seen me at my best, worst
When I have news to share,
You’re the first one I call
You can always make me laugh when I’m mad
You push me to do things I am afraid of and I’m glad
I cannot remember
Before we were together
I cannot imagine
Living without you
You have taught me to have a thicker skin
And how to drive stick shift and how to give freely
And love my body
I cannot remember
Before we were together
I cannot imagine
Living without you
