You are my most favorite girl
Oh
You are my best friend in the world
Oh
It's really a shame, you only exist inside my head
An idle ideal, I'm in love with an archetype
Lady, dear, you're all I have
The iconoclast is running late
La da da…
We walked on the beach, had a magical time
Oh
I practice my speech, she practices mime
Oh
Silent as snow, back to double zero once again
Smothered in white, a parody of holiness
You're so pure, it makes me sick
Static, and just the same as me
La da da…
Through the glass now, darkened window
Smearing the pane, but I never get a peek
Fact and fiction, magic portal
Shatter the glass, just show me how it works
Just show me how it works
Sounds so simple using words
But can you fix it when it hurts?
La da da…

Amelie

Amelie, Amelie, she’s going back to Germany
On Saturday, she’ll fly away, and now this sunny sky feels gray
So Amelie, here’s to thee, and to your flight across the sea
May you be blessed, may you find rest, we wish and pray you all the best
Amelie, Amelie, like the verse of poetry
Hear the chime, wedge the lime, the meaning comes to you in time
Amelie, you are free, to be all you’re meant to be
So write a verse, and sing a song, we’re gonna miss you when you’re gone
Amelie
Amelie, Amelie, give my best to Germany
May our paths cross again, you’ll be in His arms till then
Another time, a different rhyme, a little higher on the climb
So have no fear, and have no shame, trust in Him who spoke your name
Amelie
In every place, look to His face
He’ll lead you home, where’er you roam
Amelie

Between the Lines

Love
Is a complicated word
It has several different meanings
So
I think it's fair to say
That there's at least one way that I love you
We
Have been good friends for a while
You're one of my favorite people
It's in between the lines
But you're on my mind
Exactly how, I don't know
But I know I love you
The world
Is a complicated place
It can pull you in a thousand directions
You
When I see your face
I know that I am right where I'm supposed to be
It's in between the lines
Wish I could read your mind
Exactly how, who can tell
But I know I love you
I love you (several different meanings)

Upside Down
00:59

Little, little baby in your momma's shopping cart
Can't you see you're holding that cell phone upside down?
Grumpy, grumpy grown-up in the cranky, crabby world
Can't you see that you're living life upside down?

Daughter of the King
04:48

Among the mountains there grows
A sweet Texas rose
A butterfly in the sun
Where the rainbows run
And when the clouds fill the skies
And the tears fill her eyes
She still knows just who she is
That she’s loved and she is His
Daughter of the King
Pure dove, take to wing
The promise shines in the rain
Truth comes through the pain
One day a storm came along
So I wrote you this song
And when the sky’s looking gray
I hope that you’ll hear me say
That your Caretaker knows
Just how the wind blows
He knows everything
And He’ll help your heart to sing
Daughter of the King
Pure dove, take to wing
The promise shines in the rain
Truth comes through the pain
You are His child
You make Him smile
In each new start
He cares for your heart
Daughter of the King
Pure dove, take to wing
The promise shines in the rain
Truth comes through the pain
Daughter of the King

I Am a Bird

I am a bird, yes I am
I spread my wings, yes I can
I ride the air, anywhere
I am a bird, yes I am
From way up here the world looks small
And big, and geometrical
I'd like to stay up here by myself
But I am too tired, and I'm just a bird
I am a leaf, yes I am
I shade the sun, yes I can
I ride the wind, in the fall
I am a leaf, yes I am
On my way down I spin around
And let out one last sigh
My flight does not last very long, oh well
My landing is soft, cause I'm just a leaf
Oh
I am a man, yes I am
I cannot fly, no I can't
UNLESS, OF COURSE, I'M IN A PLANE
I'm just a man, yes ma'am
