The Best Of Me
03:15
|
|||
|
I know what you want me to be
Just another smile and a nod
Someone who will listen and agree
I'm the perfect person for the job
Leave it to me
To give you what you need
I'll scratch your back
Maybe you will mine
Yes I'm tripping over myself to give you
The best of me
Yes I'm tripping over myself to give you
The best of me
Now, you wouldn't want to be stuck here with
The rest of me
It's easier than trying to explain
What I think of you and your ideas
Things you say and how you choose to say them
Really have no business being here
Leave it to you
To walk all over people in your way
As you beg, steal and borrow
Now I'm tripping over myself to give you
The best of me
Yes I'm tripping over myself to give you
The best of me
No, you wouldn't want to be stuck here with
The rest of me

Hard To Imagine
02:43
|

|
Ever wish that things
Would always stay the same
Every day is wait and see
A guessing game
Where are we
How far along the astral plane
Could this be the curtain call
The final frame
But it's hard to imagine
Impossible to say
How I'd feel if I found out
You'd been taken away
Nothing you'd have to regret
Nothing to face up to
On your own, left to wander
But I would still miss you
Take the time, get past the lies
To what is true
I still have so much to say
And so do you
I'd never want to leave again
And start anew
All we have is
One another to hold onto
And it's hard to imagine
Impossible to say
How I'd feel if I found out
You'd been taken away
Nothing you'd have to regret
Nothing to face up to
On your own, left to wander
But I would still miss you

Walmart Greeter
05:01
|
|||
|
Stumblin' out of a late last night
Into traffic
Sun's up, gotta settle down
I can't stop laughing
Clock's ticking, it's tickin' me off
I can't sit still
Who knew such a bad idea
Is such a thrill
My idea of a good time
Is making promises I can't keep
I don't like to
Think too far ahead
Here I go again
I'm as happy as a
Walmart Greeter
Riding in a
Tin can two-seater
Come back to
Stop what you started
Maybe this life ain't
Quite what you wanted
Small cog in a big, big wheel
Don't even notice
Small man with a simple plan
Of getting loaded
Do anything you can
For the new model
No time to relieve yourself
Just in a bottle
I'm a demon come six o'clock
Ain't nowhere
That I won't be found
I don't like to
Think too far ahead
Here I go again
Here we go again
I'm as happy as a
Walmart Greeter
Riding in a
Tin can two-seater
Come back to
Stop what you started
Maybe this life ain't
Quite what you wanted
Throwing out all your
Fortune cookies
Just to get a piece
Of the pie
For a day you could
Celebrate, well
Here's mud in your eye
Here's mud in your eye
I'm as happy as a
Walmart Greeter
Riding in a
Tin can two-seater
Come back to
Stop what you started
Maybe this life ain't
Quite what you wanted

Marching On
05:01
|
|||
|
I bid you farewell
And wish you good luck
Your time has come
And changes are tough
I would be there
If I only could
When you were here
You weren't really here
Something had called you
Called you
Now you've been told
Where you will go
Leaving isn't so hard
When you have somewhere
You know you wanna be
It all comes to bear
Best beware the pain
Of broken harmony
Won't you have
Someone you can talk to
Won't you want
Someone who will hear you
Life is marching on
And there it goes
Don't wait for now
Or dwell in the past
Time won't come back
But memories can last
You're moving on
Goodbye, so long
Leaving isn't so hard
When you have somewhere
You know you wanna be
It all comes to bear
Best beware the pain
Of broken harmony
Won't you have
Someone you can talk to
Won't you want
Someone who will hear you
Life is marching on
And there it goes

Under The Surface
03:29
|
|||
|
Everyone's keeping a secret
They've all got something to hide
You were hoping the whole world would change
By today
Try not to read too deeply
Into things you can't understand
Right or wrong, it's just too far gone till you
Find your way
There's always more to it than meets the eye
You could relate but you'd just have to try
Everyone's dressed to impress
But the real story's under the surface
Seeing too many faces
Getting too many ideas
If anyone has come here to
Make idle talk
I am gone
Learning the art of persuasion
Learning to take second best
In between your choices and dreams is where
You belong
There's always more to it than meets the eye
You could relate but you'd just have to try
Everyone's dressed to impress
But the real story's under the surface
Some are in need
Sent off to war
Some have it all
And they still want some more
They don't have anyone
They can depend on

What If I
04:22
|
|||
|
Two worlds so far away
One you can't leave
And one you can't stay
Look around you
All you see
All that is
And will ever be
I walked a fine line
To get here
I'm not going nowhere
Maybe the big time
Is out there
Somewhere, I don't care
What if I
Had never said goodbye
What if I
Had never said goodbye
What if I
Had never said goodbye
What if I
Had never said goodbye
Two halves of the hourglass
Two sides of the same coin
Sitting here in limbo
Perfectly middle of the road
Feels like I've just gone
In circles
In and out of the frame
I made my entrance
Then my exit
And it all stayed the same
What if I
Could never say goodbye
What if I
Could never say goodbye
What if I
Could never say goodbye
What if I
Could never say goodbye

Snow Day
03:49
|
|||
|
Can't find the trail
Buried beneath
Ice and hail
Caught in the wind
Thought I'd be in by now
Today just seems
So far away
And the world has gotten
Colder and smaller
And brighter
Overnight
So push the pilot light
Stay inside
It's warm and dry
Might as well
Get comfortable
I can't see the road ahead
Only white instead
Nowhere else to go
On a snow day
Just have to wait
Lying around
Staying up late
It's a hell of a year
Just like the year before
I can't take much more
And the world has gotten
Colder and brighter
And smaller
Overnight
Wish I could take flight
Living rough
Might be enough
To change your
Personality
I can't see the road ahead
Only white instead
Nowhere else to go
On a snow day
It's mother nature's way
To put you in your place
Hope it melts away
It's a snow day
A snow day

Where do you go in the middle of summer
When the streets are empty, grasses grown wild
And all the roads are paved
With choices that you've made
And no one else is coming around
What do you see when you look out the window
And watch out for the people below
You think they'll all be laughing
At your expense and your reaction
But there's no one there to be found
When you're out walking
Is your shadow behind you or
In front of you
In front of you
And when you wake up
Does everything around you make you
Wonder how
You made it here
When you're out walking
Is your shadow behind you or
In front of you
In front of you
And when you wake up
Does everything around you make you
Wonder how
You made it here
Though you may just want to keep it
Hidden
The story of your life can be
Rewritten

About You
04:13

I guess I'm no use to you now
You've had it up to here
Made it very clear
Have I been insincere
Cause it's he said
She said
I said why don't we
Call it a night
I don't wanna fight
I've made a lot of mistakes
I'll make it up to you
Like you want me to
Just tell me what to do
Maybe you'll see there's a
Part of me
Wants to do right
So let's make it right
Funny how I'll
Say some things
I don't mean
Sometimes
But if I listen
And I don't make
Everything
About me
Maybe I could
Figure out what you deserve
And be that
Guess I could learn a few things
I hadn't heard before
Oh there's so much more
To know about you
Tell me every story
What's in your heart of hearts
Tell me where to start
Funny how I'll
Say some things
I don't mean
Sometimes
But if I listen
And I don't make
Everything
About me
Maybe I could
Figure out what you deserve
And be that

Running In A Dream
05:50
|

|
Sorry that you were lonely
Really hanging low
And you thought you're
The only one whose
Talents have to show
Every now and then
You just want to
Pack it up, and
Go on home
You can't go home
Just float down
The river of time
Don't pay it no mind
Wherever it takes us
We'll go
So slow, like
Running in a dream
When you sing your song
I believe you
You think it's not real
But that's not the point
After all
And I'll be
Right here beside you
My heart goes out
To those without
The chance
To get to know
Someone like you
And this adventure's
Not over
It's only just begun
Great minds may
Think alike
But ours can
Think as one
Yeah, ours can
Think as one
Just float down
The river of time
Don't pay it no mind
Wherever it takes us
We'll go
So slow, like
Running in a dream
When you turn the
Light on to guide me
I suddenly see
There's nothing to
Stand in my way
I forget the
World outside me
My heart goes out
To those without
The chance
Got so caught up
In superstition
Thought your luck
Was so distant
I had the idea
You had the vision
How could I be
So resistant
When you sing your song
I believe you
You think it's not real
But that's not the point
After all
And I'll be
Right here beside you
My heart goes out
To those without
The chance

A rare and exciting find. Erin Snape has an amazing ear for song structure, melody, and arrangement that's truly beyond her years. So many of these songs have moments that make your hair stand on end.

A consummate storyteller, with such an elegant baroque sound perfect for old souls. It's such a retro vibe, yet the album is undoubtedly modern and shows a lot of new ideas lyrically and musically.

This guy can't make a bad record. Love the electronic flourishes balanced with the classic acoustic songwriter energy. Lots of playfulness, experimentation, and an intriguing mood of ambiguity...
