Caught up in a kiss
© Nicole Gordon & Gary Burr
I wasn’t looking or planning or wishing or waiting for you
Then out of the blue I’m sixteen again
And the things that I do don’t make any sense
Like smiling in my sleep
Whistling when I walk
Thinking about forever every time we talk
CHORUS
You make me remember what it feels like
To be caught up in a kiss, lost in happiness
You make me remember what it feels like
To be shaky in the knees, find it hard to breathe
And all of this sounds a little sweet somehow
But I am all about the sweet right now
You make me remember what it feels like falling in love
It’s like diving or swimming when you haven’t seen an ocean in years
But now that you’re here and I feel your touch
I didn’t know I was missing so much
Like running in the rain dancing in the dark
Losing my head and trusting my heart
CHORUS
I turned back the clock when I look in your eyes
It’s been such a long time since I felt butterflies
CHORUS

Right by my side
Make believing you aint leaving
And we’re soaking in the summer light
It’s so easy I smell the breeze it’s
Drifting thru the salty sky
Sea gulls cry
But no not I because
CHORUS
We’re close as ever in my mind
I dream up adventures we can try
Airplanes fly
But you’re right by my side
Diving under to dodge the thunder
Swimming in the peaceful seas
Rain is pouring but we’re exploring
Hide and seek through coral reefs
Fish want to play
I can escape
CHORUS
In any land, far far away
We’re reunited everyday
Make believing you aint leaving
And we’re taking in the moonlit night
Sunsets rise
One day I’ll open my eyes
but for now….
CHORUS

Mirror
The mirror in my bathroom’s small
But growing up, it took up the whole wall
I’d stand on the ledge so I could see
My whole body
I’d spend hours and hours staring in
Singing the day away dreaming
Of the fabulous life ahead of me
That’s what I’d see
I know it was pretend but it opened my world
And I’m afraid if I look in I’ll see that little girl
So usually I’ll only take a peek
I don’t want her to see
There’s no major awards, no babies
No mansion on the hill that belongs to me
No number one hits, no diamond ring
And I don’t want her to see
I know it was pretend but it opened my world
And I’m afraid if I look in I’ll see that little girl
So usually I’ll only take a peek
I don’t want her to see
The mirror in my bathroom’s small

Up in the air

Up in the air
When you’re Up, up in the air
Settling in the empty spaces
You can let let down your hair
Dance around the social graces
When you’re Up, up in the air
Secret things you start revealing
Higher you go in the atmosphere
Room enough for make believing
No one really minds
When all you’ve got is time
Try this on for size
It could open up your eyes
Feeling brave from out of nowhere
so welcome the surprise
And if you ever land
You can go back to being bland
When You’re up, up in the air

Praying on what goes down, must come up
Don't ever have to want for the things I need
Aint never gonna die I’ll just go to seed
Praying on what goes down, must come up 2x
Red clay stains won't never come clean
This years flush & the next is lean
Praying on what goes down, must come up 2x
Mamma sings a story swinging on the porch
Daddy strums the fiddle and we dance for nickels
Bet each other run through rows in the dark
But no one ever had the nerve
No three piece suit it’s the ground I toil
Only way to get rich is if I strike oil
Praying on what goes down, must come up 2x
SOLO
Hauling fodder into town down Old Plank Road
Feet hanging over seeing bunnies in the clouds
Dared each other ring old Hobie Mett’s bell
but no one ever had the nerve
The kingdom come silks turned brown
Looked all my life but never saw no crown
Praying on what goes down, must come up 2x
Don't ever have to want for the things I need
Aint never gonna die just go to seed
Praying on what goes down, must come up 2x

Anyway
Breaking waves around a steady calm
Reaching out for something new
But you can’t hide, what you can’t find
Long for love beneath uncharted ground
Running circles in the sand
So you dig for anything
CHORUS
It makes no sense
There’s no reason
What you want’s not
In this season
And it’s ok to want it anyway
Navigating with a hint of light
Focused on the dawn of day
And with God’s grace you’ll reach that place
Because the desire only gets higher
Your faith at it’s core
You feel it’s strength but is it yours
CHORUS

Find your way

Find Your Way
Been floating for awhile
We slowly changed our styles and ideas
But somewhere in my soul
There’s always a pull when you’re near
It’s not easy
But I need you to see
CHORUS
That the light in my heart
It stays lit in the dark
There’s no danger that it will fade
We burn brighter as one
We outshine the sun
I’ll stay on till you find your way
The captain of the sea
But my net’s empty and torn
The storms have been rough
We’ve had plenty of enough
I’m sure
What can’t be lost
Is between us
CHORUS

Sunnyside of the moon

Sunny side of the moon
I took a ride on the sunny side of the moon
I landed here I’m afraid way too soon
Most of the time I feel I’m marching out of tune
I get the feeling heaven follows me around
Picking me up when I stumble to the ground
Because I was lost but somehow, someway I found
CHORUS
A place to fall
Hands to help me up
They dust me off
To fly
I dance around with the breeze that passes by
Take flight on the wings of a dragon fly
More and more I’m getting used to my new life
All my ideas about the ways a path should lead
Melt away like a distant memory
I’m more alive as I’m climbing each new tree
CHORUS
Fly fly
I took a ride on the sunny side of the moon
Discovered warmth in a musical cocoon
In a desert you can always find a bloom

He looks happy

He Looks Happy
Sorry I’m late guess who I just ran into
10 pounds lighter a big ole smile and brand new suit
And he gushed about his new girlfriend who’s moving in
and smart she is for 22
Chorus
Oh I hate to admit I may have waited a bit too long
For him to come around
Oh I’m sorry to say as I was walking away
Damn, he looks happy
It’s not like I expected to find a shattered man
So I try to hide the hurt inside the best I can
But a couple more years of misery he’d suffer enough and come back to me wasn’t that the plan?
Chorus
He wished me the best without a hint of regret but that’s not what got to me
He looked like he looked when we were in love and that’s the last thing I wanted to see

Here (in what was) ©Nicole Gordon
I pay the rent
And I walk the dog
Grocery shop, still buy enough for two
Half expecting you
CHORUS
To be, Here In what was
I make the bed
Sleep on my side
Watch basketball, the old games you taped
Wear both our rings
So I’m wondering if I had a talk with God
We could strike a deal in return for all this pain
Because time’s gone by and I still can’t move on
So could he bring you back or send me to the same place
CHORUS
To be, Here In what was
