Curious -- Holly Brook

Someone tell me what to do
I feel like i must be a fool
For ending up right back at the start
The things that we don't comprehend
Are laughing at my mind again
I think that I think too hard
And I don't give enough credit to my heart

I am so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That we hold onto

I've put my theories to the test
You know I've tried to do my best
But maybe we weren't meant to strike gold
Sometimes things that you ignore
Are all the things I'm looking for
Will I learn to let go
Give in to love and listen to my soul

I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That we hold onto

Portraits of your loved ones
Are more than what you see
All the elements they've captured
Are more to you than me
A different dimension we've yet to define
There's a forest to cut through with thorns and vines
There is no reason to try

'Cause I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions

I'm so
Damn curious to know
And there are too
Many unanswered questions
That I hold onto
Like you

Apologies -- Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Yesterday he said my eyes
Were fading fast away
I said, well what do you expect?
You asked me not to stay, and if it had all been for the best
I wouldn't feel this way
He said

Oh he said, It's crazy
How love stays with me, yeah,
You know it hurts me
'Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing, to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
Apologies

My love is like a blanket
That gets a little bit too warm sometimes
I wanna wrap somebody in it
Who can hold me in his arms
'Cause when it got a little too hot in there
He was always stepping out for air and he froze
Oh he froze

He said it's crazy
How love stays with me, yeah,
You know it hurts me
'Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
Apologies

Yesterday he looked at me
With a tear in his eye and said
I'll always tell you, you're my friend
I hope I don't have to lie
'Cause it's clear you love another man
I said you're damn right

And he said
Oh he said
He said it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
'Cause I don't wanna fight this war
It's amazing to see me reading through this scene
Of love and fear and apologies
He says it's crazy
How love stays with me
You know it hurts me
That I didn't figure it out before
And now it's too late for a soliloquy
It's way too late for dignity
It's time for apologies
Apologies
Apologies

Apologies

18th Floor Balcony -- Blue October

I close my eyes
And I smile, knowing that everything is alright
To the core, so close that door
Is this happening?

My breath is on your hair, I'm unaware
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
God, you held my hand and we stand
Just taking in everything

And I knew it from the start
So my arms are opened wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
We're both flying away...

So we talk about moms and dads
About family pasts
Just getting to know where we came from
Our hearts were on display
For all to see
I can't believe this is happening to me

I raise my hand as if to show you I was yours
That I was so yours for the taking
I'm so yours for the taking
And that's when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while choking up
These words to say, And then you kissed me....

I knew it from the start
So my arms are opened wide
Your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
We're both flying away...

And I'll try to sleep to keep you in my dreams
Til' I can bring you home with me
I'll try to sleep, and when I do I'll keep you in my dreams

And I knew it from the start
So my arms are opened wide
And your head is on my stomach
And we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
I knew it from the start
So my arms are opened wide
And your head is on my stomach
We're not going to sleep, sleep
Here we are on this 18th floor balcony
We're both flying away...
