It's So Complicated

Waiting for you wednesday after class

wondering what I could have said to make you dash 

is this another fight or could it be our last 

kiss me one more time before you go again 

in the end we won't be strong enough to be friends

but now I'm wishing there was a love that would never end 

it's so complicated 

yeah it's complicated

why are we feeling hated
always feelin truly underrated
teaching kids they better stop smiling cuz they're being graded 

and then our pretty red flags get perched 

and all of our mistakes get searched 

before it even starts, we're already cursed

it's so complicated yea yea 

yeah it's complicated

look me in the eyes before you say 

the only one mistake you think you ever made 

was wanting something more from me but only out of need 

and the past is always what we try to leave

but always works it's way back to you and me 

and then one day we smile and say it wasn't meant to be  

oh it's so complicated
yeah it's so complicated

why are we feeling hated
always feeling truly underrated
teaching kids they better stop smiling when they're being graded
and then out pretty red flags get perched
and all of our mistakes get searched
before it even starts, we're already cursed

oh it's complicated yea yea
why's it so complicated yea yea
it's so complicated oooh ooh
yea it's so complicated

and you're so complicated

Living on the Edge

Driving with the top down, living on the edge of my chair
climbing every hill top, every time you say dare
see you in the morning, but my mornin never comes around
nights are full of love, waiting to be found

when I'm living on the edge of my chair
throwing all my cards up in the air
you say truth, but I'll say dare
cuz I'm living on the edge
Living on the edge of my chair
down, down, down with my hair
all these moments are what I have to share
when I'm living on the edge of my chair
living on the edge

Every moment counts, when you put your heart out
every moment counts, even when you're feel in down and out
alone with myself, feel like my tank is runnin out
let's stay up all night, askin what it's all about


when I'm living on the edge of my chair
throwing all my cards up in the air
you say truth, but I'll say dare
cuz I'm living on the edge
Living on the edge of my chair
down, down, down with my hair
all these moments are what I have to share
when I'm living on the edge of my chair
living on the edge

every night so far, I want to know you more, I want you in my arms
follow all my stars, I want to take it far, I'm not afraid to fall...


when I'm living on the edge of my chair
throwing all my cards up in the air
you say truth, but I'll say dare
cuz I'm living on the edge
Living on the edge of my chair
down, down, down with my hair
all these moments are what I have to share
when I'm living on the edge of my chair
living on the edge

Sweeter Than Wine

Waiting for you
feels like forever
when we're not together
and we know how it goes
but we're fools because we got no rules
you've got it
I need it
feels more special only when it goes away
you feel it
I know it, it's crazy
that we're stronger everyday
and you're so sweet sweet all of the time
and you're sweet sweet sweeter than wine
and you're the only thing on my mind
we're not giving up, we're not giving up
Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhh
sometimes it's a curse
when I know you're here
but still so far away
you stay my first
even when I feel you're not mine everyday
you've got it
I need it
feels more special only when it goes away
you feel it
I know it, it's crazy
that we're stronger everyday
cuz you're so sweet sweet all of the time
and you're sweet sweet sweeter than wine
and you're the only thing on my mind
we're not giving up, we're not giving up
Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhh
and now, you've touched my heart
please don't stop now, we both know how
to fight, it's all I've known,
but we've got time, to make things right
you're so sweet sweet all of the time
and you're sweet sweet sweeter than wine
and you're the only thing on my mind
we're not giving up, were not giving up
Ohhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhh

It's so easy

knowing my way to the top
following my inner map
I don't know how long it will take
but this is my final lap
my friends say I don't know what I want
they think I live in too many thoughts
but all my feelings have never led me stray
and I'm never gonna stop

and it's so easy, here I am
I'm gonna be your best man
all this time looking for something
other than myself
I didn't know it could be so easy
once I found myself

it's hard to get out of bed every morning
when you don't know who you are
I didn't know I was lost in trying to be
a man with a bright red car
now I look to the sun and the stars
my heart tells me I can have it all
and even if I get lost sometimes
I know how to get up after I fall

and it's so easy, here I am
I'm gonna be your best man
all this time looking for something
other than myself
I didn't know it could be so easy
once I found myself

And it's so easy, it's so easy
and now I have everything
nothing can take away who I am
and I don't need anything
it's so easy it's so easy
I didn't know how to dream
I didn't know all it took
was the strength to be me
it's so easy it's so easy
it's so easy it's so easy

Dear Angels...

Dear Angels, I pray tonight
three things to help me wake up bright
my fears release without a fight
you to hold and hug me tight
and you, in time, become my light
angels can you hear
speak in my dreams
wake me up if you answer
teach me where the light is
so I can turn from danger
dear angels I pray tonight
three things to help me wake up bright
my fears release without a fight
you to hold and hug me tight
and you, in time, become my light
angels, are you there
who's really in charge here
me or you, who's pushing me through
maybe you can nudge some more
kick open that happy door
where everyone's making smore's
and singing how happy they are
because they love who they are
Dear angels I pray tonight
three things to help me wake up bright
my fears release without a fight
you to hold and hug me tight
and you, in time, become my light

Time To Go My Way

woke up this morning
coffee on my mind
hardly slept a wink
counted sheep going by
I've been thinkin too much
can't stop my thoughts
wondering which way to go
which road to cross

sometimes I don't know what I'm standing for
but I feel out there, I can be something more ...

the path I need to choose
always the hardest one
can't we jump ahead,
skip the pain for everyone
we were stupid in love
for that there is no cure
but you're fine here
and I don't fit in anymore

sometimes I don't know what I'm standing for
but I feel out there, I'd be something more
so it's time, time to go, oh it's time time time time time
to go my way

I don't ask you to change, and if I could you know I would
change change change, oh I'd change, for you
I'd change if it'd bring back more years like before

woke up this morning
coffee on my mind
hardly slept a wink
counted sheep going by
I've been thinking too much
can't stop my thoughts
knowing which way to go
which road to cross

sometimes I don't know, what I'm standing for
but I feel out there, I'd be something more
so it's time, time to go, oh it's time time time time time...
to go my way ...
yeah, it's time time time time time ...

Is It You is It Me

VERSE
Yesterday we always agreed, having fun spontaneously
you’d take my hand and pull me close, 
I could be anything in your arms
with that spell you cast on me 

Yesterday we laughed wildly, turning all the jealous heads 
I miss who I was back then 
and now, I see you differently
I miss that spell you had on me 

CHORUS
Is it you, is it me
who makes me want to pull away 
every time you kiss my cheek 
I don’t feel the same, but I don’t know who to blame 
and I’m feelin bad and guilty, 
did you change first or was it me  
is it you is it me 

VERSE
I remember you drove me crazy, I couldn’t get enough of you
now you don't even hold my hand 
or maybe I don't give it to you  
but I don't feel like I want to   

Together we made a good team, we always had the same dreams
but now I feel something pulling me 
and the dreams we had are dying 
I feel we both stopped trying    

CHORUS

            BRIDGE: 
              I wish I knew what to do, 
                   stay and see if love comes through? 
                        today I don’t love you anymore 
                             but I can’t forget what we had before... 

CHORUS 

You've stamped my heart

You take me to places I've never seen
as far as the mountains all covered with green
you give me your kindness like a ghost sent from heaven
you bring me to places I want to see again

Sing me a love song and whisper your secrets
come into my small world and take all you can
I want to stay with you, and always care for you
so if you will let me, I'll always stay

You taught me to love you in ways I can't tell you
and gave me a reason to smile everyday
I wish I could give you much more than I've taken
my love is forever, you've stamped my heart

limitless and priceless, like jewels of a princess
timeless and youthful, my heart beats for you
I know my love never will go to another
my love is forever, you've stamped my heart

~Jenn

I'm Just Not Into You...

I think you're great, I really do
your face and smile say a lot about you
you're nice and kind and smart too
so I don't know why but, I'm not really into you

I feel bad, I do, but it's better for you
if you know today than in a year, or two
you could be with someone who wants to be with you
but it's not me, I'm just not into you

Don't be blue, your day will come
don't be blue, I'm not the only one for you
I don't want to hurt you, but hear my truth
I'm just not into you

If you want to know it's that you're too nice
you like everything I do, you have no spice
it's boring really, to have no complaints
no worries, no drama, you're too simple in your ways

but I told myself I'd give it an honest try
you wanted me bad, I wanted to try
but when it's not there, I cannot lie
I'm not feeling it, I'm just not into you


Don't be blue, your day will come
don't be blue, I'm not the only one for you
I don't want to hurt you, but hear my truth
I'm just not into you

I'm sorry, so sorry, but I can't force it
I loved before, this doesn't feel close to it
oh I'm sorry, I wish I felt something
maybe I'm not over my ex he took EVERYTHING

yeah it happened to me, back one day
I loved a boy, I thought he was the one for me
it was true, my love was true
and then he whispered, I'm just not into you, he said


Don't be blue, your day will come,
he said, don't be blue, I'm not the only one for you
I don't want to hurt you, but hear my truth
I'm just not into you

I think you're great, I really do
your face and smile say a lot about you
you're nice and kind and smart too
so I don't know why but,
I'm just not into you ...

~Jenn

love love love!

a dance that puts you in a trance
and a meal that’s too good it’s surreal
and a hand that has you at command
that’s what love’s about!
the heart that beats with every spark
or the eyes that stop all of the cries
or the shake that puts it all at stake
that’s what love’s about !
the scene can’t be mean, it bubbles with champagne
he's witty and can get things out of the drain
and holds your hand in the rain
where you tell all your friends saying ‘he’s the one’ again
the dad who is no longer sad
cuz the girl has someone with to twirl
and the guy gives no reason to sigh
this life is a scene, the scene is a life of love love love!
it's there if you dare not make the same mistakes
you fall hitting walls, when you just take and take
throw it all into the lake
when there’s nothing to lose, try walking in another shoe
the girl who is getting a rose
right before she saw him at her door
ain't it great when two people relate
this life is a scene, the scene is a life of love love love!

~Jenn

I Wish I Didn't Listen

You told me things should be simple, I really wish they were
I've always known what I wanted, and now I’m not so sure

My life seems empty now, even with everything I’ve achieved
it's not enough to only have success, not enough for me
       
          I wish I didn't listen
                 when you told me love doesn't last
          I wish I didn't listen
                 you said keep my heart close to my chest
          I wish I didn't listen
                   it’s because of you I’m lonely,
                           I'm just too scared to love, and let someone love me
                           oh I'm too scared to love, and let someone love me

I worked so hard, you seemed proud, but my tears I kept inside
you said feelings were weak, so I learned to pretend and lie

I didn't see how hard you were, I was so insecure those days
I listened and trusted what you said, but now, I never feel safe
         
          I wish I didn't listen
                 when you told me love doesn't last
          I wish I didn't listen
                 you said keep my heart close to my chest
          I wish I didn't listen
               it’s because of you I’m lonely,
                       I'm too scared to love, and let someone love me
                       oh I'm too scared to love and let someone love me

                                 Now I’m struggling to find love
                                      and I’m trying to feel like I’m enough
                                 But when I close my eyes, I can’t bear
                                      all your words, that’s all I hear
                       
          I wish I didn't listen
                 when you told me love doesn't last
          I wish I didn't listen
                 you said keep my heart close to my chest
          I wish I didn't listen
               it’s because of you I’m lonely,
                       I'm too scared to love, and let someone love me
                       oh I'm too scared to love and let someone love me

~Jenn

I'm not going away

and you turn around
and you look away
and you don't know what to say
ooh and I see your eyes
and I hear your pain
but I'm not going away

now I look at you
and I trust it to
that you might have some bad days
but listen to me
you and I are a team
and so I'm not goin away

I've been where you are
and I've seen the dark side
but there's always light somewhere
just because somebody cares for you
la la la la la la la la la la la la la

so just close your eyes
let the tears fall out
cuz tomorrow is a brand new day
and if you're with me
you can tell me everything
and I'm still not going away
oh I'm still not going away
nooo I'm not going away

and once you let it go
share you cries with me
I know they'll all go away
yeah I know they'll all go away
la la la la la la la la la la la la
ooohhh I'm not going away
ooohhh I'm not going away

~Jenn

tippy toes

oh little girl
walking through the grass
too good to feel the dirt
walking on those tippy toes
looks like you're too high
your heels closer to the sky
if I gave you a balloon
you wouldn't even try
oh little girl
dancing for the world
no time to stop and breath
scared that I might leave
don't trust those tippy toes
you can't pretend to grow
you're more than just tippy toes
you won't listen, but I know
just be where you are
you'll always be my star
give it up, let it fall to the floor
it isn't as scary as you think
tip, tip, tip, tip, tippy toes
growing tired and weary
I see it in your eyes
losing all your naked energy
oh little girl
twirling above us all
slow down and just stay
I promise it will be okay

~Jenn
