Three Acre Wood

Little three acre wood
My entire neighborhood
Looked around but never could
Be part of you
All those broken shadows fell
With every little song I yelled
And somehow I could never tell
What's wrong with you
Now it's quiet
Even then
Now it's 6 pm
And the locks have forgotten
And even though you're heart is vacant
I hope that you somehow make it
It's your life I hope you take it
Along with you
Someday this forest will seem friendlier
Right now it's looming awfully dark
It's built on summer days and hands in dirt
But it seems you've taken it apart
Now it's quiet
Even then
Now it's 6 pm
And the locks have forgotten
Ooh
Little three acre wood
My entire neighborhood
We did everything we could
Sometimes things aren't good
Sometimes
You can't undo it

Fairy

You made another bad call
Trying to find the best view of them all
I saw the light at the end
Thought I’d feel better then
Took me by the hand, the other, you hid
I knew I was gone the second you did
Told me this is where the real fun begins
So I let it in
You need a fairy
When your life is bearing down on you you know
Where to go to do the trick
You know it’s magic
If you’ve ever had it
Keep it to to yourself
In a bottle on a shelf
Not one to pass up a game
You had me running, I played and I played
I saw the gold at the end
Thought I’d feel better then
Feel it on your skin, you know what you did
See it in your eyes, attention is split
Could’ve been your fairy, grant every wish
If you wanted it
You need a fairy
Beautiful and daring
Oh you never know what you’re doing 'til it’s done
Making you crazy
Sleeping like a baby
Thinking to yourself
Things are going pretty well
Ah
Find another way
I am moving up
You see me
Flying above
Find another way
Get another one
Somewhere in the world there is a butterfly
That you want
You need a fairy
Beautiful and daring
Oh you never know what you’re doing 'til it’s done
Making you crazy
Sleeping like a baby
Thinking to yourself
Things are going pretty well
Ah

Supermarket

You sit playing with my windblown hair
And I'm falling asleep on your lap
You say you'll never get up again
You'll never get up again
I'm just thinking 'bout a long way off
When our youth is a thing of the past
I think I'll never be sad again
I'll never be sad again
And I don't want to think about if the days will darken
No I just want to hold hands in the supermarket
And you can't promise that you won't leave me broken hearted
So let me hold your hand in the supermarket
I know everything about you now
Though you keep it all close to the chest
You're golden, you're golden
And I see us under umbrellas
It'll pour and we'll smile the same
We'll never be bored again
We'll never be bored again
And I don't want to think about if the days will darken
No I just want to hold hands in the supermarket
And you can't promise that you won't leave me broken hearted
So let me hold your hand in the supermarket
Let me hold hands in the supermarket
I don't want to think about when the days will darken
I just want to hold hands in the supermarket
I can't promise that I won't leave you broken hearted
So let me hold your hand in the supermarket

London

Valentine, had I foreseen
I would’ve held you even closer to me
The girls are pretty
In this old city
But I’d never felt so beautiful
It was brand new to me
So, you just go ahead now
Don’t wait up
Don’t you turn your head now
We’re on the mend
Even when it’s dark out
I know my way in London
By April Fool’s, I think I knew
Whatever was in store here
Would hurt us either way, dear
So, you just go ahead now
Don’t wait up
Don’t you turn your head now
We’re on the mend
Even when it’s dark out
I know my way in London
So, you just go ahead now
Don’t wait up
Don’t you turn your head now
We’re on the mend
Even when it’s dark out
I know my way in London
