every sunrise

we woke up every sunrise

to the smell of fresh brewed coffee

as the sun broke through the window

for the mornings of our lives

I never stopped to notice

what you really meant to me

I never thought to treasure

the love inside your eyes

I did not recognize

what I really had

until it was gone

and I needed it so bad

I keep looking

I keep looking

inside my own mind

I don't know what for

but I know I will find

something inside there

to make me feel proud

even though I know

it is never allowed

my thoughts are scattered

they don't seem to know

the reason I look for

is where I must go

today I am searching

inside my brain

to see if my actions

and thoughts are the same

new skin (rewrite 1)

I'm growing a new skin

I'm shedding my old one

it once had its uses

but now it's done

it's time for a change

and that time is now

I'm growing a new skin

but I don't know how

my old skin is useless

because I've changed my ways

I can't see life

through this leftover haze

I'm trying to build shelter

around my old self

I'm growing a new skin

any chance you could help?

my old skin is leaving

it's done run its course

a replacement is what

I am looking towards

if you will lead me

God knows what I'll find

I'm growing a new skin

leaving my other behind

speak the truth

I will speak the truth

even though you won't like it

it's just that I do

what needs to be done

I will speak the truth

even though you can't find it

if you're looking for answers

just know I have none

new skin

I'm growing a new skin

I've shed my old one

it once had its uses

but I believe it's done

it's time for a change

and that time is now

I'm growing a new skin

but I don't know how

my old skin is useless

because I've changed my ways

I no longer can see life

through this leftover haze

I'm trying to build a new skin

around my old self

I'm growing a new skin

any chance you could help?

how thin is your skin

how thin is your skin?

can you take joking around?

or are you always serious?

life is better when

you laugh out loud

when your insides are delirious

midnight ukulele

she played a midnight ukulele

at three in the afternoon

for me and her friends

in the living room

she told us all the secrets

hidden in her song

funny thing, I think I have

known them all along
