This Is All You Felt by Simone White I can't give you what you want you said and shrugged and left and closed the door and went to bed I stayed up late to watch the stars shooting out their lights 'cause there's no reason why to shine you learn a different lesson every time like sugar's sweet and salty brine and stand up straight and get in line 'cause fire burns and ice will melt and this is all you felt you don't think there's any hope you said you don't believe you'll get to be just once before you're dead but you never stayed up late to watch the stars shooting out their lights 'cause your city's far too bright you know you'll never win that fight 'cause sugar's sweet and salt is brine you stand up straight to get in line but fire burns and ice will melt and this is all you felt but everything that you feel another movie reel you take your place and make your bet don't hold your breath don't hold your breath 'cause nothing's ever all you'll get 'cause sugar's sweet and salt is brine you stood up straight to get in line but fire burns and ice will melt and this is all you felt

Little Heaven Little Blue by Simone White you took my hand in the fever dream the sweat flowed freely from the cracks and seams if I could just burn through the heaviness and blue the patchwork and the pieces that keep covering the true all I wanted was a kiss an easy thoughtless way to get out of this a melody a song that wanders along but all the kisses you could give me couldn't keep me strong the weight of the world and the weight of a man the words in your head and the silence you say you just can't stand oh you just can't stand you took my hand in the fever dream I knew it wasn't what it seemed the two of us burning through little heaven little blue little lies unfolding to cover up the true the weight of the world and the weight of a man the words in your head and the silence you say you just can't stand oh you just can't stand

So It Goes 03:34
So It Goes by Simone White you found hope in a signal sent from outer space and it showed what you thought you'd lost without a trace I want to wrap my arms around you and keep you safe wish I could kiss the tears off of your face now here's a story and I know you've heard them all before this one's crazy and it's past the point of no return think I could love you from a million miles away the planet's spinning and I'm standing in place but oh so it goes you're never just alone no no no there's a light on every door it's the universal glow lighting up with love to show lighting up with love to light the dark way home you found hope in a signal sent from outer space and it showed what you thought you'd lost without a trace I felt you wrap your arms around me to keep me safe I feel your love from a million miles away and oh so it goes you're never just alone no no no there's a light on every door it's the universal glow lighting up with love to show lighting up with love to light the dark way home

Genuine Fake 04:54
Genuine Fake by Simone White I met you once in Glasgow town your arm in mine as we wandered around the glossy streets as the rain came falling down the words you never did say out loud the year you came out to L.A. you were impressed how I knew all the freeways we drove out west stopped at old McCabe's and sat on the beach as I watched you play and you your face so bright in the storm chasing light every day like you're being reborn always finding a spark and the beauty in the dark your love so big for everything I never knew you wanted my heart hold a mirror to the setting sun the people we have been and everything that we have done the quiet space between us like a home to which I run and every time I see you it's you your face so bright in the storm chasing light every day like you're being reborn always finding a spark and the beauty in the dark your love so big for everything I never knew you wanted my heart but do you know what my heart is made of how easy can you break it does it need more than you can take and are you sure it's not a genuine fake I met you once in Glasgow town your arm in mine as we wandered around the glossy streets as the rain came falling down the words you never did say out loud

Harvest 04:19
Harvest by Simone White john michaelson come close the door your father's let a man in they said they could use our only son now it's come the revolution so wash your hands, sit at the table we haven't got a thing to offer him you're a strong lad, so capable spring harvest was thin a single plate translucent skin we turned away and kept it in and prayed for better days the summer harvest fell to rot we held too tight to what we got it split in two but still it was too few and so we prayed for better days the autumn harvest disappeared a confirmation of our fears we killed the thieves among the dusty leaves and then we prayed for better days the winter harvest still unfound the stone and fever sealed the ground we stand in silence gathered round and pray for better days we pray for better days one day one day one day

Tiny Drop 03:39
Tiny Drop by Simone White how much will it cost a lot a lot the way the wind blows around you how the sky felt above you the beauty that you lost a lot a lot for all the wars you fought you are a tiny drop tiny drop you are a tiny drop tiny drop

Rain 03:22
Rain by Simone White I heard your voice a silver thread you cast a net capturing me unaware my heart laid bare a tangled boy you made a bet unraveling daring me to bust your cover woven lover rain rain filling up the well rain rain rain rain don't care where it fell and underneath the ground what made you new once left behind comes into view could you be persuaded or convinced what lies beneath contains the kiss rain rain filling up the well rain rain rain rain don't care where it fell if I slip I'll surely drown pull me out and lay my body down

Shadow Pass 03:08
Shadow Pass by Simone White everything I said was half true it's the way it comes out when I try to talk to you I'm keeping the best part the rest of a broken heart hold a little back from the start you won't lose it only leaves a bruise all the time gives into regrets if I let you in my head if I showed you how it gets would you see what I can't see can you hold on to the best in me will you wait will you watch the shadow pass will you tell me it won't last give me courage faith and bravery give me courage faith and bravery give me courage faith and bravery I want to believe I want to believe I want to believe the things that I can't see everything I said was half true it's the way it comes out when I try to talk to you but can you see the best in me will you hold on to what I can't see will you wait will you watch the shadow pass will you tell me it won't last
