INTRO

Let’s take a breath now
When do we ever settle down?
Let’s slow our minds and still our souls
The rest will follow

TAKE THE SHOT

Hold on tight and take a breath
This could all change in an instant
No guarantees, no promises
For all that you take for granted

But go ahead, if this is how you live your life
You pack it up before you even try
Go ahead, give yourself over to the lie
Keeps you from living while you’re alive
Or back up and try again
Take that one-in-a-million
Or back up and try again

One life, live it
Give it everything you’ve got
‘Cause your dreams are worth it
So take that shot

But go ahead, if this is how you live your life
You pack it up before you even try
Go ahead, give yourself over to the lie
Keeps you from living while you’re alive
Or back up and try again
Take that one-in-a-million

Or back up and try…

It would be so much better in the long run
If you tried and you failed time and time again
Then to play it safe and not do what you love
No matter what you are always left wondering

What if, I let go?
What could be the best-case scenario?
What if, I let go?
What could be?

But go ahead, if this is how you live your life
You pack it up before you even try
Go ahead, give yourself over to the lie
Keeps you from living while you’re alive
Go ahead, if this is how you live your life
You pack it up before you even try
Go ahead, give yourself over to the lie
Keeps you from living while you’re alive
You pack it up before you even try
Keeps you from living while you’re alive

What if, I let go?
What could be the best-case scenario?
What if, I let go?
What could be?

CAREFREE

All I’m asking, is for a little time to feel like I
Can regain composure
To reset and then move on
From these feelings I’ve been sitting on

But this cycle starts again

Can you take me back in time
‘Cause all my carefree memories are fading
Can you share this load that I
Have carried all along without breaking down

All I’m saying, is there’s never any time to clear my mind
All this noise is echoing
I need a way to shut it off
Before my normal is lost

But this cycle starts again
Can you take me back in time
‘Cause all my carefree memories are fading
Can you share this load that I
Have carried all along without breaking down

Can’t I just have a bad day
Without reliving all my mistakes?
I feel it now, I’m breaking down

I need a break, I need some time away
From the weight of responsibilities
I feel it now, I’m breaking down

But that’s not who I am
I guess I just need to vent sometimes
And clear my mind
Before the cycle starts again

Can you take me back in time
‘Cause all my carefree memories are fading
Can you share this load that I
Have carried all along without breaking down

BURN BRIGHT

You know exactly what you want
Right now it’s what your brother’s got
And you won’t hesitate to let us know
You think you’re in control
Who’s to say that you’re not?

You know you’ve got your mother’s heart
You might have more than just my eyes
‘Cause when you tell a joke like I would do
And you’re only two
I feel I’m doing something right

All I want to say is take that fire inside…

And burn bright
‘Cause you’re full of life
Don’t let them keep you in line
Yeah you’re a wildfire
So hit them with the sunrise
All of this darkness needs a little light

Burn bright, burn bright

You know exactly what you need
Right now it’s something you can’t reach
And you won’t hesitate to scream for help
Or just pull down the shelf
Some lessons you don’t have to teach

We give an inch you take a mile

All with the sweetest little smile
We leave the room and it gets torn apart
Floors covered with your art
You must be your mother’s child

All I want to say is take that fire inside…

And burn bright
‘Cause you’re full of life
Don’t let them keep you in line
Yeah you’re a wildfire
So hit them with the sunrise
All of this darkness needs a little light (a little light)

Burn bright, burn bright

I’ll catch you when you fall
So don’t think, don’t hesitate at all
This world doesn’t need you do be dull
And you, you’re far from boring

And burn bright

‘Cause you’re full of life
Don’t let them keep you in line
Yeah you’re a wildfire
So hit them with the sunrise
All of this darkness needs a little light (a little light)

Burn bright, burn bright

THESE MOMENTS

I never want to take you for granted
Disarming smile, your brilliant mind
Out of billions and billions of planets
The stars align, and now you’re mine

I could just sit here forever
At least until the sun goes down
Here in these moments together
I’ll stay as long as time allows

So you’ll never feel alone
Everyone has a dream
You are my fantasy
And I just want to stay in these moments forever

My love for you was so automatic
As soon as we met, you filled my mind
When we talked you would cut through the static
Ten years have passed, and you’re still mine

So glad we said

Forever

Everyone has a dream
You are my fantasy
And I just want to stay in these moments forever

It doesn’t matter where you are
My heart will follow you
It doesn’t matter where you are
My heart will follow

Everyone has a dream
And mine leads right to you

Everyone has a dream
You are my fantasy
And I just want to stay in these moments forever

FADE

You once controlled my mind
With bitter thoughts and broken dreams
Not something to ignore
You’ve always been a part of me

Well I don’t want to feel you anymore
Yeah you don’t have a home here anymore

I don’t want to feel

You know that everyone here would surround me
So you cut me off
Made me feel like I was lost
I know you’re clawing your way right back to me
But I’ve come too far
To fade right back into the dark

There’s comfort in your grip
The simplicity of old routines
But to break out of that trap
Is the first step in living free

I don’t want to feel you anymore
Yeah you don’t have a home here anymore

I don’t want to feel

You know that everyone here would surround me
So you cut me off
Made me feel like I was lost
I know you’re clawing your way right back to me
But I’ve come too far
To fade right back into the dark

It seems my memories have changed
Thought I had a broken melody
But it was you there this whole time
Singing these offkey harmonies

Still it’s not a total loss
Because my fear of you is gone
I can look back and see how far I’ve come
And continue to evolve

You know that everyone here would surround me
So you cut me off
Made me feel like I was lost
I know you’re clawing your way right back to me
But I’ve come too far
To fade right back into the dark

ORION

New lungs, breathing
Tiny hands are reaching out
Time is slowing down

New heart, beating
I thought I had things figured out
You turned them upside-down

Now all I want to know is if you’re okay
While the rest of the world just fades away

It always hurts to say goodbye
‘Cause I never want to leave
I just want to spend our time, making memories
You see the stars, and how they shine?
Well that’s what you are to me,
That’s what you are to me

Hard to remember life before my heart, my blood

Orion

Walking, then reading
We watched you figure this life out
Never slowing down

Twenty-four seasons
You’ve lived and loved and laughed out loud
With emphasis on loud

It always hurts to say goodbye
‘Cause I never want to leave
I just want to spend our time, making memories
You see the stars, and how they shine?
Well that’s what you are to me,
That’s what you are to me

Hard to remember life before my heart, my blood

Orion

You turned me into who I am
And that’s something no one can take away
We’re here for every single step
And I love to watch you learn and grow and change

It always hurts to say goodbye
‘Cause I never want to leave
I just want to spend our time, making memories
You see the stars, and how they shine?
Well that’s what you are to me,
That’s what you are to me

IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS

Work, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat
Every day the same routine
I don’t even mind
That it’s so familiar

‘Cause there’s a million little things
That break up the monotony
And remind me I
I love familiar

‘Cause it’s you and me
And this family we’ve grown
And it feels like home
Each new day is a journey through the unknown
And it feels like home
So familiar

At the end of a crazy week
Just take a break for dance parties
We make space in our lives
Not just to fill the time

Even when our days may be
Wall-to-wall insanity
These are the times that we’ll
Remember fondly

‘Cause it’s you and me
And this family we’ve grown
And it feels like home
Each new day is a journey through the unknown
And it feels like home
All these little things are the important seeds we’ve sown
So they can feel at home
And each new day is a journey through the unknown
And it feels like home

It’s so familiar
It’s so familiar

‘Cause it’s you and me
And this family we’ve grown
And it feels like home
We live each day in this unending grace we’re shown
And it feels like home

I get so lost in myself sometimes
I can’t see past these storm-lit cloudy skies
When all I need is a little light
To take me out of my crowded mind
And into a place where all of these
Overbearing thoughts start fading
And I’m left finding joy
In all the little things

COURTING DISASTER

I can get lost in the reasons
It’s just a waste of time
Doesn’t mean a thing

I’m convinced it’s only a season
Just a point in time
Doesn’t have to be

A part of me
I’ve been feeling like I’m courting disaster
‘Cause I’ve been focusing on what comes after
I’ve been feeling like I’m courting disaster
Can we skip to happy ever after?

Am I missing out?

I’m always on a hunt for the meaning
It takes up so much time
And doesn’t change a thing

The end result can be so deceiving
It’s just a frame of mind
Doesn’t have to be

I’ve been feeling like I’m courting disaster
‘Cause I’ve been focusing on what comes after
I’ve been feeling like I’m courting disaster
Can we skip to happy ever after?

Am I missing out?

All the time I waste is gone
And I can’t replace it
All these masks that I have worn
Left me feeling faceless

Still your light it lingers on
Drawing me to embrace it
And this path you put me on
Well it’s time I take it

It’s time I take it

I’ve been feeling like I’m courting disaster
‘Cause I’ve been focusing on what comes after
I’ve been feeling like I’m courting disaster
Can we skip to happy ever after?

Am I missing out?

RUN

Well you’re out here all alone
Facing demons on your own
Or at least that’s what it feels like

Will you ever put up a fight?
The smallest risk for you is like
Seeing your life flash before your eyes

And that’s no way to live
When you have so much more to give

So why do you run?
Why do you run?
If your past is what makes you insecure
You can learn from your failures

So why do you run?
Why do you run?
If you ever look past this cage you’re in
You’ll see

We set our own limitations

You’ve got this fear of missing out
External lies mixed with self-doubt
Brings it all to the surface

This overactive internal voice
It feels your head with sadistic noise
Start to believe that you’re worthless

So why do you run?
Why do you run?
If your past is what makes you insecure
You can learn from your failures

So why do you run?
Why do you run?
If you ever look past this cage you’re in
You’ll see

We set our own limitations
We set our own limitations

You scrape by with a fraction of self-esteem
But there’s hope in the future of living free
Yeah there’s hope
So don’t let go

So why do you run?
Why do you run?
If your past is what makes you insecure
You can learn from your failures

So why do you run?
Why do you run?
If you ever look past this cage you’re in
You’ll see

ALL I HAVE

I met you in the strangest way
In a moment that stretched on for days
Now I see you in everything
Like the stars in the night and the summer breeze

I know deep down I have changed
And who I was has passed away
But I still get stuck looking back
Don’t embrace what I have but I chase what I lack

Oh God
Oh God
Break me down to the basics
So I don’t overthink this
And I will sing
Oh God, oh God, oh God

You were with me in my darkest moments
Carried the weight when I felt too weak
Still I feel I’m faking faith most of the time
Can I get back to the point where I just believed

Oh God
Oh God
Break me down to the basics
So I don’t overthink this
I need release
Oh God, oh God, oh God

I give up control
‘Cause I, can’t do this alone
I need you to know
There’s fire still in these bones

And all you want
Is everything
And all I have
Is nothing

All my mistakes and clever ways to occupy my mind
Feel so pitiful
They feel so pitiful
So can you take my doubt, my pain, this broken life
And make something beautiful
Can you make it beautiful?

All my mistakes and clever ways to occupy my mind
Feel so pitiful
They feel so pitiful
So can you take my doubt, my pain, this broken life
And make something beautiful
Can you make it beautiful?

All my mistakes and clever ways to occupy my mind
Feel so pitiful
They feel so pitiful
So can you take my doubt, my pain, this broken life
And make something beautiful
Can you make it beautiful?
