NEXT STEP
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
Back to what’s the matter
Coming straight in then past her
Marked by hesitation
Only a matter of breaking
Busyness a warning
Tease my mind – ignore it coming
At what point’s it too far?
As this burn turns to a scar
It’s just one step, just the next step
Yet it always seems to bring me to my knees
It’s just one step, just the next step
To show me what I cannot see
What I cannot see
Is the joke on you so far?
Each choice unsure leaves it’s mark
To trust when in a trust room
Convincing me, convincing you that
It’s just one step, just the next step
Yet it always seems to bring me to my knees
It’s just one step, just the next step
To show me what I cannot see
What I cannot see
Fear it hides where you’d expect
If you fail was it worth it?
Just to know and not forget
It’s the next the next step
It’s just one step, just the next step
Yet it always seems to bring me to my knees
It’s just one step, just the next step
To show me what I cannot see
What I cannot see

NOT BE TOLD
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
Like a thief in the night you said you would stop by
A figure of speech that you left us to unwind, unwind
Did you enter when I needed something to hold on?
To fill a void when I was left alone? Alone.
Is it safe to call you my own?
Wiser just to let you go?
You have to say it for yourself and not be told
Simply all I’ve ever known or all that ever been
Follow like a child, don’t stop thinking, thinking
Is it safe to call you my own?
Wiser just to let you go?
You have to say it for yourself and not be told
Easy to see how the heart can bend
Harder to know how to make it mend
Is it you?
Is it you?
Is it you?
Is it safe to call you my own?
Wiser just to let you go?
You have to say it for yourself and not be told

SOMETHING’S GOTTA BREAK
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
As it’s seen from ones own eyes
From the light, comes more light
No simple endeavor
Or something you’d never seen before
Not soon to pass you by
As I hold on to you, as you hold on to me
Listen to my worries so generously
Though time brings understanding it seems to me that
Something’s got to break by now
What’s the measure of today?
In it’s breath soon gone away
Dancing and fleeting, sometimes defeating
Yet, ten thousand years are just a yesterday
As I hold on to you, as you hold on to me
Listen to my worries so generously
Though time brings understanding it seems to me that
Something’s got to break by now
For what am I waiting? Something to just hit me?
Maybe it’s time I make up my mind.
Search my heart, show me all that’s beneath
If I don’t see it now I know you’ll show me in time
In time
In time
You give me what I need for now
As I hold on to you, as you hold on to me
Listen to my worries so generously
Though time brings understanding it seems to me that
Something’s got to break by now

SPRING
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
Come back to when it was that you were on my side
Is it past a point of healing? Difference undisguised
Folding hands all around us, resting in a snare
Turn forward your gaze, child feelings left you bare
Is it left or right straight into a dead end
Of what we can be sure?
That it’s in your heart in the touch of your hands
A spring that overflows
A spring that overflows
Light of dawn shines brighter as the full day sun
Blessed child near your mother
Listen to her hum
Is it left or right straight into a dead end
Of what we can be sure?
That it’s in your heart in the touch of your hands
A spring that overflows
A spring that overflows
A spring that overflows
A spring that overflows

PASSING THROUGH
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
Hair shining silver, crows’ feet hang from your eyes
Filled with wonder of past years of circumstance aligned
Passing through
Passing through
Children and grasses growing listen to what they need
In the whisper, in the rustling, they say a part is me
Passing through
Passing through
Passing through
Passing through
Driving in the skyline, remnants of a dream
Slow down, get out, try to be at ease
Passing through
Passing through

REASONS
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
If it all just ends now
Had I left this place better?
Teach me to know how to show love when it comes at a cost
There are reasons that we’ll never know until we come to meet you
Knowing that you’ve never gone
Yet not knowing what’s next
How far can one voice reach?
If only to you, that’s enough for me
To keep going on and know that this too shall pass
There are reasons that we’ll never know until we come to meet you
Knowing that you’ve never gone
Yet not knowing what’s next
Do you remember, remember?
Do you remember, remember?
Do you remember, remember?
Do you remember, remember?
There are reasons that we’ll never know until we come to meet you
Knowing that you’ve never gone
Yet not knowing what’s next
There are reasons that we’ll never know until we come to meet you
Knowing that you’ve never gone
Yet not knowing what’s next

YOU
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
It’s something simple, yet I’ve only heard it now
As a billowing welcome call
My eyes have seen, my ears have heard
A melody, a sweetly spoken word
From, You
From, You
If I treated you like I treat myself
Helping hand, lend an ear without a doubt
Just what are we far too busy for?
No longer mine, my time here is
From, You
From, You
The night is running short, I should remember now
That in my youth I’d known and time has proven how
Some things come and go, and some slowly fade
Yet, the ones we know will always stay are
From, You
From, You

STILL TRYING
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
You once pulled me like the charm of a good laugh
Goodbye to my cares, yet they came back
Now you’re my eyes and I’m your ears
You’re my hands as I just sit here
Talking at your shadow passing by
So, tell me now
That you love me now
We promised ‘till life’s over
Now we’ve gotten older
I need some help to say those words
You were in the drivers seat when we hit them
I’ve never felt the same since that moment
Carelessness a part of you
A loneliness your first wife knew
I fought for us when you left me too
So, tell me now
Who’s fault is it now?
We’ll fight until it’s over
Now we’ve gotten older
I need some help to let it go
Not how I’d imagined
Getting close to the end
Yet while I’m still here I have to keep trying
So, tell me now
Who’s fault is it now
We promised till life’s over
Now we’ve gotten older I’m still trying
I’m still trying, but I’ll need help to let you go

PART OF YOU
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
It’s been ten years and got me to thinking
From a void’s grown something beautiful
And though time heals, it’s surely not easy
Doesn’t mean you were nothing at all
Since you’ve been gone, it comes as a notion
When you were near, it was just how you are
There will always be moments – there’s no question
That a part of you lives on
Your knees cracking up the staircase
Shades of beige that we painted the walls
The smell of the kitchen cabinets
Or the roses the circles the lawn
Since you’ve been gone, it comes as a notion
When you were near, it was just how you are
There will always be moments – there’s no question
That a part of you lives on
The way that you body shook and then rested
As you entered heavens gate
No last words exchanged
Since you’ve been gone, it comes as a notion
When you were near, it was just how you are
There will always be moments – there’s no question
That a part of you lives on

NOT ALL YOUR DOING
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
Taken from a wildshoot now in the branches
Swaying, quaking, bearing weight yet far from breaking
With all that’s left me, it makes me see to what I’m grasping
There still are some things after all these years
Where to run? When you’re prone to wander?
Outcome – is it on what you’re riding?
Overcome – try to remember
Not all your doing that got you here
Not all your doing that got you here
Patience or just pulled by least resistance
Your change of circumstances, was it ever all in your hands?
With all my striving, it makes me see to what I’m grasping
There still are some things after all these years
Where to run? When you’re prone to wander?
Outcome – is it on what you’re riding?
Overcome – try to remember
Not all your doing that got you here
Not all your doing that got you here

PLAYING WITH FIRE
Music and Lyrics by Kaylee Elizabeth
Did I hear a whisper was it just a slip of mind?
To walk a bit faster as the day turns into night
Give return to the blank stare, in you’re longing follow there
If not for a whisper just in time
When my own self gets the best of me
Playing with fire’s left scars to see
When I’m wrong
Oh, Lord help me through
If there is joy that is no longer turned to flight
Say that it’s for you, say that it’s for me, fostering light
Take me down to the waters edge, give me something worth to defend
Some say it’s brave some say it’s pride
When my own self gets the best of me
Playing with fire’s left scars to see
When I’m wrong
Oh, Lord help me through
I can’t do this on my own
I can’t do this on my own
I can’t do this on my own
I can’t do this on my own
So won’t you build me up on a rock that’s firm
Left in place if the house is burned
Yet some say it’s grace, some say you’re behind

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche.
