ANA10521 Long Way To Go

Long Way To Go by Michelle Mandico

You see me everyday and you don't think twice and I don't need to say
That I'm not over you oh I think that you know oh I think that you do
But I don't mind that you know
Cause I'm not gonna hide what we already know

I know that days have passed as I'm trying to surrender words we can't take back
I can't get over this oh I would if I could oh I wish that I could
But I don't mind that you know
Cause I'm not gonna hide what we already know

That I've got a long way to go before I'm over you
And I've got a long way to go before I get through to you
Cause I've got a long way to go before I'm over you

I'm not the first one to fall for somebody who wants something other than all of me
And I won't be the last one to dive head first into something we can't see into
But I don't mind that you know
Cause I'm not gonna hide what we already know

That I've got a long way to go before I'm over you
And I've got a long way to go before I get through to you
Cause I've got a long way to go before I'm over you

You've got your heart half captive
I've got mine inside of my hands
And hand in hand we'll go about this
Pulling me under and pulling me through you

(That I got you
I still got you I still got you
That I got you
I still got you I still got you)

That I've got a long way to go before I'm over you
And I've got a long way to go before I get through to you
Cause I've got a long way to go before I'm over you

ANA10522 Give It Up

Give It Up by Michelle Mandico

Two AM is way too late to start on something new
I've been giving in but still it's not enough for you
Something tells me we should just call it a day
But I don't know the first the about leading you astray

Once you've got your mind made up you shut to the whole world down
Governing an empty landscape high on sacred ground
Something tells me we should go our separate ways
But you would rather run this through the ground and to a grave

Give it up for us tonight
Let is rest for just one night
Because I don't want to leave you
But you're making it hard not to
So for tonight let it be

A field of rhythm make our fights sound better than they should
Echoing the part of ourselves we wouldn't dare call good
Since the first night we've been dynamite and fire
Setting flame to everything to call ourselves survivors

Give it up for us tonight
Let is rest for just one night
Because I don't want to leave you
But you're making it hard not to
So for tonight let it be

Oh I still want you more than I should
Cause I'm still holding hope that's no good (you tell me)
How many more one more chances should you get (you tell me you tell me)
How many nights should I forget

Give it up for us tonight
Let is rest for just one night
Because I don't want to leave you
But you're making it hard not to
So for tonight let it be

ANA10523 I'm Already With You

Already With You by Michelle Mandico

You put up a fight for no one but yourself
What a lonely fight
You don't have to try to get me on your side
Because

I am already with you
I am already with you
I'm already with you
Can't you see that we're fighting for the same damn thing
I am already with you

Oh you know that
You don't have to hold all your cards at once
Your hands are filled with mine
And you've got a lot to say when I'm so far away
But

I am already with you
I am already with you
I'm already with you
Can't you see that we're fighting for the same damn thing
I am already with you

You fill me up
You break me down
You've got my whole heart in your hand
You fill me up
You break me down
You've got my whole heart in your hand
You've got my heart in your hand

I am already with you
I am already with you
I'm already with you
Can't you see that we're fighting for the same damn thing
I am already with you

ANA10524 Iron Knees

Iron Knees by Michelle Mandico

I know the way it goes
And I know the way that you'll let it sway
When the wind surrenders and waters cave
Oh I know the way that you'll let it sway

And I know you'll let it be
Cause I know the way that you'd rather leave
When the dawn surrenders and shadows bleed
Oh I know the way that you'd rather leave

I am tied in with wooden chains
Round my iron knees
I am tied in with metal thread
Round my iron knees

Some say I'm all messed up
But I like the way that you're just the same
When the crown surrenders and crazy stays
Oh I like the way that we're just the same

I am tied in with wooden chains
Round my iron knees
I am tied in with metal thread
Round my iron knees

You make me not want to move
Oh you make me not want to move
Oh you make me not want to move
Oh you make me not want to move
Oh you make me not want to move
Don't wanna move I can't move from next to you
Don't wanna move I can move

Some say we're all messed up
But I like the way that we're all the same
When the crowd surrenders and crazy stays
Oh I like the way we're all the same

I am tied in with wooden chains
Round my iron knees
I am tied in with metal thread
Round my iron knees

ANA10525 Century Treasures

Century Treasures by Michelle Mandico

You trade your baseball cards
And I trade my dolls
Oh you'd trade me for all that you gave me
And I'd give it all up for you

You saved your baseball cards
And I saved my dolls
Oh you saved me with all that you made me
And I'd give my name up for yours

Oh a century is gold
Oh the treasures that we hold
They are holding us
But I'm letting go

Old fashioned dance floors
Well they light up our shoes
And if you spin me I'll let you win me
Even before we are old

Oh a century is gold
Oh the treasures that we hold
They are holding us
But I'm letting go

So that I can hold to you
You know that we're gonna die young
And I, I know that you are the one
To hold and to keep to convince I'm not leaving
To hold and to keep to convince I'm with you, you

Oh a century is gold
Oh the treasures that we hold
Oh a century is gold
Oh the treasures that we hold
They are holding us
But I'm letting go
So that I can hold on to you
So that I can hold on to you

ANA10526 The Things You Move

You don't have to move a mountain
You don't have to turn over the world
Cause I've already seen what you don't have to do
I've already seen what you don't know you do
I've already seen all the things you move
