MCKENNA LORI LYRICS

“Falter” - McKenna Lori
album: Unglamorous (2007)

I went to high school with that kid
He was even strange back then
The type whose eyes don’t leave the floor - blend in with the cement

Well, I felt so bad for that kid
One day I saw his face turn green
And as he tumbled to the floor the thought of reaching out never occured to me

Chorus:
Why don’t we open up
Knowing that we all falter
When will we learn - to reach out for each other

He lived out on the edge of town
And I’m pretty sure he had a brother
It seemed that boy could walk for days I suspect to avoid his mother

And I always knew he had it bad
Tougher than any of us others did
Still I never asked him how he was doing what could I do - I was just a kid

Chorus

So, now he’s the new town bum
He talks to himself and picks up cans all day
And when my kids ask me about him - what’ll I say, what’ll I say

Why don’t we open up
Knowing that we, we all falter
And when will we learn
When will we learn to….
Open up
Knowing that we all falter
When will we learn
(When will we learn)
I said, when will we learn
When will we learn - to reach out for each other

MCKENNA LORI LYRICS

“I’m Not Crazy” - McKenna Lori
album: Unglamorous (2007)

I can fall in love in the middle of the afternoon
With the TV blaring in the very next room
I fall in love again at the end of a raging fight
The kind that keeps us staying up all night

Chorus:
Baby, I’m not crazy
I just love the way you look at me
Baby, I’m not crazy
I just expect ecstasy
And I’m trying not to take everything to the extreme
I’m wide awake and you’re still my dream
Baby, I’m not crazy

Sometimes I hear a voice telling me that you’re the only one
And I’d be nothing but a fool if I let this all come undone
Every now and then I see the vision of a perfect
When you turn around and smile like you understand that….

Chorus

Well, there’s a dull sweetness in this life of ours pretty as graffiti
And I’m dancing without any music on but you’re the only one that sees me, hey….

Chorus

Oh, no
Baby, I’m not crazy
I just love the way you look at me
I just love the way you look at me
I just love the way you look at me
I just love the way you look at me

A FINE FRENZY LYRICS

“Lifesize” - A Fine Frenzy
album: “One Cell In the Sea” (2007)

We stood so tall we caught a plane
by the wing and held it
Until we found it a place to land
We layed across the ocean wide
Bridged the gap in record time
The people traveled across and kissed our hands

All for love we become

Larger than lifesize, wondersome
Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become
Great in the eyes of someone

We smiled so bright the sun went down
Rose above the maddening crowd
We lit the streets with the sweetest glow
We held the globe and made it turn
Wandered through the universe
The men of science observed through telescopes

All for love, we become

Larger than lifesize, wondersome
Great in the eyes of someone
Larger than lifesize we become,
Great in the eyes of someone

Larger than lifesize we become
Larger than lifesize we become
Great in the eyes of someone

A FINE FRENZY LYRICS

“Hope For The Hopeless” - A Fine Frenzy
album: “One Cell In the Sea” (2007)

Stitch in your knitted brow
And you don’t know how
You’re gonna get it out
Crushed under heavy chest
Trying to catch your breath
But it always beats you by a step, all right now

Making the best of it
Playing the hand you get
You’re not alone in this

There’s hope for the hopeless
There’s hope for the hopeless
There’s hope

Cold in a summer breeze
Yeah, you’re shivering
On your bended knee
Still, when you’re heart is sore
And the heavens pour
Like a willow bending with the storm, you’ll make it

Running against the wind
Playing the cards you get
Something is bound to give

There’s hope for the hopeless
There’s hope for the hopeless
There’s hope
There’s hope
There’s hope

There’s hope

A FINE FRENZY LYRICS

“Borrowed Time” - A Fine Frenzy
album: “One Cell In the Sea” (2007)

Thick as thieves the last of leaves
In the winter sun
Holding fast this freezing branch
Is home to us

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it’s life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

Counting stars and passing cars
On the interstate
The end is near I feel it dear,
But I am not afraid

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it’s life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

But you say you’re getting tired
You’re tired and so am I
When you follow from behind

Step, step right over the line
And onto borrowed time
When it’s life, not waiting to die
Waiting to divide to divide

But you say you’re getting tired
You’re tired and so am I
When you follow from behind
