Apple Tree

V1:
If I were an apple tree
The simple life it would be
My leaves make a song
All the birds singing along
Under me my leaves so green
The sun can’t be mean
Much fruit I would bare
Pick an apple I’d love to share
Chorus:
La da da la da da la da da DA DA
V2:
When winter’s bite comes along
There’s one who keeps me strong
Next to me lives a tree
I’d shade her and she’d shade me
Sharing the sun and moon
Our branches they loom
Loving me when my leaves fall
And I’d love her cause she’s my all
Chorus:
La da da la da da la da da DA DA
V3:
Now when my branches lay
On the ground what will they say
These leaves sang their own song
And sang it loud so sing along
Chorus:
La da da la da da la da da DA DA

V1:
I wanna do something crazy dive in the ocean
But somehow I’m stuck here butt on the cushion
Let’s be spontaneous at 3 in the morning
Streaking the quad cuz sleeping is boring
Grab your keys let’s follow the asphalt
Tell your boss, meeting is cancelled
What about work, what about school?
They’re not moving so get up you fool
C:
I’m Sorry not sorry for breaking the norm
Sorry not sorry, I will not conform 2x 1x?
V2:
Nut up or shut up ask her out
Don’t know her name or what we’ll talk about
I’ll figure that out if she says yes
Let’s live in the present sunflowers next
Like and 80’s movie outside her window
Singing a song in a crescendo
Give me the answer yay or nay
And then a passerby says DUDE YOURE GAY!
C:
I’m Sorry not sorry for breaking the norm
Sorry not sorry, I will not conform
B: Sorry 'bout it

Let's Get Homeschooled

V1:
My teacher’s sleeping with the principal
So I can get away with anything in this school of mine
All the while the teacher likes me
Lets me out of class at 12:33 and then makes me snack and smiles at me
You’re in prison for 8 long hours
And im out now so the streets are ours while you wait for the bells to ring
So grab your friends who don’t follow trends
And dance to Jesus music that never ends Hallelujah
C:
Let’s get home schooled 3x
Let’s get home schooled now home schooled now
V2:
Under this roof you’ll feel so free
Don’t need a pass to go pee and all work required PJ’s
Being socially awkward is okay
Cuz all our friends are the same way so maybe the awkward ones you
My classmates my best friends for years
We took baths together it wasnt weird... Its kinda like we're family.
Sometimes people they will ask
Why don’t you talk to girls and why aren’t you wearing pants… its okay! Im homeschooled!
C:
Let’s get home schooled 5x
Let’s get home schooled now home schooled now

V1:
A desk, books, and pens were all I could see
In this room of paper walls I can never seem to leave
I see a face I’d seen only once before
But this time her look I could not ignore
Hi there what’s your name again
Carolyn I thought we were friends
How are you how have you been
Haven’t smiled in a while I don’t remember when
C:
This is a story of a story room
I can’t wait to turn the page
I don’t quite know how it will end
But lets keep on reading about these two friends
V2:
Our library voices have been gone for hours
People stare but we don’t care
Coffee and a smile is all I can see
While mine returns as you talk to me
Break these paper walls and we will leave
Take my hand and dance with me
I’ll be your distraction if you’ll be mine
I’ve got work to do, but its not due til 9
C:
This is a story of a story room
I can’t wait to turn the page
I don’t quite know how it will end
But let’s keep on reading about these two friends
Bridge:
This is the end this is the last page
A story of friends who part their separate ways
But the book isn’t over that was chapter one
So I’ll keep on reading 'til the book is done

You Are Love

Verse 1:
Love is patient love is kind it never fails
But I’ve failed again this time
I’ve been running for so long
But You caught up to me
Your arms are open and they’re open wide
But I can’t embrace You
Cause I have pride built up like walls
They’re made of stone, but I crumble at Your sight
Chorus:
You are love You are love
You are a desert well
You are love You are love
When I can’t go on
You are love You are love
You are a lighthouse
You are love You are love
When I lose my way
Verse 2:
Love is patient love is kind It never fails
But this, this is You and not I
Walls have crumbled and the season is spring
And I live in Your embrace
But the road ahead it seems so long
And I’m afraid I’ll fail You
And You say “You will fall but when you do
I will carry you.”
Chorus:
You are love You are love
You are a desert well
You are love You are love
When I can’t go on
You are love You are love
You are a lighthouse
You are love You are love
When I lose my way

I Believe

V1:I stand on the shoreline
Should I swim? I'll try
Repetitive motion to cross the ocean of belief.
Like a generator
I run strong but later
My fuel is empty
In this endless sea I think I will drown
The shoreline it's gone
Just the blue horizon
I think of Your eyes
On the other side I can't I won't turn back
C:I believe I believe that You can see me
I believe I believe someday I'll see too
I believe in You
V2: My eyes have enough blue
I don't need the sea too
Treading water
I float but why bother the waves will catch me
I see the shipwrecks
The ones that turned back
Next could be my soul if my breath I don't hold rescue rescue me
In circles I swim
The light here is so dim
I wanna feel sand
The soft touch of your hand where are where are You?
C:I believe I believe that You can see me
I believe I believe someday I'll see too
I believe in You
V3: Dry throat my last breath
I won't close my eyes yet
Not far a dim glow
A lighthouse I'm so close I see I see you
C:I believe I believe that You can see me
I believe I believe someday I'll see too
I believe in You
B: I'll swim to You (6x)
I'll swim to You
It's so hard
I'll swim to You
You're so far
I'll swim to You
C:I believe I believe that You can see me
I believe I believe someday I'll see too
I believe in You
