Sometimes it’s like we’re stuck in one place
Sometimes we’re stuck here with ourselves
You have a choice no matter where you are
Pick up and move to someone else
Don’t let them tell you what you’re thinking
Some master plan that you can’t see
You’ll find your way before you’ve found yourself d
Be who you really want to be
Just when you think you’ve found the answers
The world will spin around again
Open the book and tell your story
The pages turn until the end
We’re all just fumbling in the darkness
Looking for light to guide our way
Stay wide awake or you’ll die sleeping
Say what you really wanna say…

I feel a yearing
I needed somethin’ more
Something is calling
Walk toward the open door
I gotta bring it all to life
I’ve got to keep my line of sight
To make it real
You’re what I want to see
When I close my eyes in daylight
Everything I want to be
Knowing everything is all right
I’ll make it real
So many choices
Signposts along the way
No, I’m not dreaming
This time it’s here to stay
I gotta bring it all to life
I’ve got to keep my line of sight
To make it real
You’re what I want to see
When I close my eyes in daylight
Everything I want to be
Knowing everything is all right
I’ll make it real
I’ll make it come to life
Yeah please believe me
This time we’re going for a ride
Yeah please don’t fight it
Right now I need you by my side
Yeah please believe me
This time we’re going for a ride
You’re what I want to see
When I close my eyes in daylight
Everything I want to be
Knowing everything is all right
You’re what I want to see
When I close my eyes in daylight
Everything I want to be
Knowing everything is all right
I gotta bring it all to life
I’ve got to keep my line of sight

Goodbye to Summer
03:44

|
I felt a chill over the weekend
I knew that what we were had reached the end
The seasons turn and now I’m left alone
We made our choice and now we’re on our own
Goodbye to you, goodbye to summer
My time with you was like no other
No matter where I go, I’ll always see you there
And when I look, I find you everywhere
The leaves have started turning red and gold
The fading memories get so hard to hold
I can’t forget the way you looked at me
This tattered coat is all the warmth I need
We never had our chance to say goodbye
I don’t have any tears left in my eyes
Empty inside and nothin’ left for you
It’s time to take a new view
Feel something new
Goodbye to summer
Goodbye to you, goodbye to summer
Goodbye to you, goodbye to summer

Belladonna

I always see you in my darkest dreams
Up in the sky or somewhere in between
The day I met you seemed to seal my fate
Before I wake I hope it’s not too late
I’ll take you back but don’t know why
You’ll never let me call you mine
Belladonna
I’ve seen the world with you at my side
I’ve seen a brighter future through your eyes
There’s no escaping what you’ve done to me
And I don’t tomorrow who I’ll be
I’ll take you back but don’t know why
You’ll never let me call you mine
Belladonna
Flying too close to the sun
We’ll burn our wings and fall as one
The golden light will set us free
Going down
And you’re everything I need
I woke up in the ashes of our love
And someone called out to me from high above
I heard your voice but only saw the stars
A million miles can’t keep us apart
Belladonna

Never Good Enough
03:13

You don’t pretend to like my clothes
You say that’s just how my life just goes
You think I’ve always had it rough
That’s why it’s never good enough
I didn’t learn at fancy schools
And in your games, I play the fool
With you I feel just like a clown
Keep on knockin’ off my crown
And it’s never good enough
I don’t know why you like to keep me down
Keep sayin’ things that spin my head around
You’re always lookin’ for a fight
Talk of leaving every night
Cut me open with your knife
And every time it feels so right
And It’s never good enough
I finally dropped you and felt free
So many other girls to see
But none are ever quite like you
Make me question what I do
and they’re never good enough
I don’t know why you like to keep me down
Keep sayin’ things that spin my head around
You’re always lookin’ for a fight
Talk of leaving every night
Cut me open with your knife
And every time it feels so right
That’s why it’s never good enough
That’s why it’s never good enough
That’s why it’s never good enough
That’s why it’s never good enough

Promised Land
03:42

Oh in time, you will see
that you will come back to me
Not surprised, that you’re leaving here again
“Better days, down the road”
That’s what you say when we’re alone
But I don’t know if I can follow you back home
I’ve always wondered who you are
Head in the clouds, eyes on the stars
You ask if I can see, I’ve told you that I can
Will you wake me when we reach the promised land
Will you wake me when we reach the promised land
It’s been so long with you gone
Different notes but same old song
Testing me, and how much more that I can take
Pulled apart, I drift away
Wondering if I should stay
Asking me if I can wait for one more day
I’ve always wondered who you are
Head in the clouds, eyes on the stars
You ask if I can see, I’ve told you that I can
Will you wake me when we reach the promised land

Saw these ladies open for Juliana Hatfield and they're my new favorite band. If you like '90s alt-rock like Veruca Salt and the Donnas, these 3 kick it up a notch. Amazing.

Truth Hits Everybody *Bonus Track*
by Juliana Hatfield
I've been a fan of J's since the mid-'90s, when "Become What You Are" became one of my favorite LPs ever. I've since met her in person, seen her play 3x, and featured her in my book, 'Indie Rock 101.'
