Delicate

Lyrics by Kina Grannis


You said, "Be careful, it's delicate, things can just crumble apart."
But it's not the same for me
It's not the same for me

So I kept treading so carelessly
Thin lines that splintered my ground
But I closed my eyes to them
I closed my eyes to them

CHORUS:
And how did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me?
When everything falls away from me

One day I woke in the rubble
Knee-deep in damage I'd done
And I was ashamed of it
How did it come to this?
 CHORUS: And how did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me

And how did you know that I couldn't be what everyone wanted me to be?
And how did you know that I wouldn't see when everything falls away from me?
When everything falls away from me
When everything falls away from me 

Strong Enough

Lyrics by Kina Grannis

Welcome to the days of wariness
Where I'm feeling an echo inside my chest,
I've a heart beating impatiently long,
Waiting for the other half of it's song
It's song

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

And times have told the ways things come to light
Realizing a lack in your will to fight
Despite words crying at inconsistencies,
As you fall uneasily to your knees, your knees

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

And I'm not blind to what you're doing here
Make me feel like I'm special,
But my dear, I have seen through a weakness in your eyes
You don't know it, but you're telling me lies,
Me lies

And you will soon awake to see
There is no heart in anything you say to me
We thought we'd found a harmony, a perfect match of melodies
No, But if you listen closely now, I've been singing all alone

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

No, it's not enough
Don't touch my hand and call it love
If you can't hold it tight, tonight
If you're not strong enough

Valentine

Lyrics by Kina Grannis
Love, it's a special day
We should celebrate and appreciate
That you and me found something pretty neat
And I know some say this day is arbitrary

But it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Love, I don't need those things
I don't need no ring
I don't need anything
But you with me
'Cause in your company
I feel happy, oh so happy and complete

And it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

Yeah, it's a good excuse, put our love to use
Baby, I know what to do
Baby, I...
I will love you
I'll love you, I'll love you

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving me kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

So won't you be my honey bee?
Giving sweet kisses all the time
Be mine, be my Valentine

Oh, be my Valentine

Back To Us

Lyrics by Kina Grannis
 
All the birds are singing in the whisper winds
Everybody's listening
And the sun is shining like today wont end
Nothing here is missing
Looking over looking under looking through
What we find every time we do what we do
And we laugh
And we cry
And we live our lives
And we love and we love and we love
And it comes back to us
We carve into the tree our history of love
With dreams of ever after
We can sit beneath the bows and trace the lines
That add another chapter


looking outside looking inside looking away
what we find each and every time you say that you'll stay

And we laugh
And we cry
And we live our lives
And we love and we love and we love
And it comes back to us

In the evening when we turn in
Will you look back with me?

And we laugh
And we cry
And we live our lives
And we love and we love and we love
And it comes back to us

Message From Your Heart

Lrics by Kina Grannis 
 


Don't break me, I bruise easily
The source of both your love and misery

I am steady, beating endlessly
While you are dozing, dreaming pretty things
Lovely things

I don't work for free
Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Don't hurt me, I bleed constantly
My efforts leave me but flow back swiftly

My rhythm, soothing, like raindrops steady
On foggy windows when you gaze outwardly
Peacefully

I don't work for free
Please take care of me


Please take care of me

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

Every time you sleep
Every time you eat
Every time you laugh
Every time you cry
Every time you love

This is a message from your heart
Your most devoted body part
Taking blood and making art
This is a message from your heart
Pounding away into the dark
You could thank me for a start
This is a message from your heart

In Your Arms

Lyrics by Kina Grannis

Hush now, let's go quiet to the park where it first started
Cold night, us lying in the dark
I felt my heart was trying to find a place for you to stay
A place where I'd feel safe

Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

Take my hand, let's go into the trees
Behind the branches, falling on our knees

I remember feeling like this part of us would never change

Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

Follow me
We both know the way
It's always been the same

Anything we have known
Anything we've forgotten
In the rain, in the dark we'll lay
In your arms, in your arms I'll stay

Stars Falling Down

Stars Falling Down by Kina Grannis

I think that the stars would have waited for us
Hanging onto the night, watching down below
Until we were hand in hand, together waiting for them
So when I open my eyes, I saw it too
Stars falling down, when I fell for you
CHORUS:
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do

I think that the clouds like the laughter, around us
Wanting to feel the warmth, they're softly sinking down
Until they cover the streets just like a dreamland
And right above us, they part so that I see through
Stars falling down, and I fall for you

CHORUS:
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I do
