Rest of the Way
Words & Music by Natalie Gelman & Allan Douglas Good morning sunshine, She makes her way out the door. Maybe today she’ll find what she is looking for. There’s no rules, no right way to say, Thanks but no thanks, hello but goodbye, This is not what she had in mind. This life is enough ‘til tonight, The days will carry their own weight All she needs is half a tank Her lies will take her the rest of the way. She sits back, tells herself, Just this one last time. Never good at leaving notes, never one to say goodbye. Is it such a mystery that she’s all alone So toss your hair and drop a line, Do what you must to get by. |

Sweet July
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman I could sit back for miles And let this all undo itself for a while or I could dive into my fears And come up covered in my tears I could fall back into your arms They used to feel so, so protecting Protecting, protect me now Just like home The warmth of your chest on my back It was so easy lying next to you Telling our dreams like they would come true And it felt so right that night When we came undone Couldn’t have known what we would become Sweet July Your eyes they would rest on my hips And your rough hands dance on my lips I would melt our hearts on that day If you would come back when I say I cast the first stone it lended itself to building this wall Building this, building this Building this wall between us And I’m so cold ‘cuz your so far in July Sweet July |

Always was
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman It was the fall of ’99 and we were barely fourteen Had our heads in the clouds, we were living a dream I thought you were everything I was ever gunna need But I was wrong and love fooled me and now I can’t play loud enough to tune out your eyes I’m slipping between the lines of love and goodbye If there was ever someone I thought I could give it up to Its you, its you, like it always was Its you, its you When the night fell down leaving me in your arms We surrendered to love and all its charms Two young hearts honest and unused Two young hearts with everything to lose and I can’t sing loud enough… I never was what you thought I could be You never did find the strength to love me and now I can’t cry loud enough… |

Leave
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman The moon hung over in a dreamy fog Like my heart hung over on you Disappear beneath the shadows When all your lies come off so true Crimson soft from your lips Taking what I never had to give All the leaves scrape against the ground Trying to get what’s so deep in out Take away your feelings then give them back again just leave We were never good at saying goodbye, Just leave me, oh just leave me, yea Drag myself over the ash Thought I’d sung it all away No one can find me here Covered in my decay Months spent up in my own dark thoughts Which scar should I pick at tonight? Salty cries drip off my chin Drive the pain deeper in You’ve always been perfectly clear about where your heart lies Its just not with me Its hard to admit that what I think could be between us You just don’t see Take away your feelings then give them back again just leave We were never good at saying goodbye, leave I don’t want you to see me the last time I cry Just leave, leave Stars fall from the sky, Making their last request of your eyes |

Just Someone
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman It started out simple the way these things do You looked at me and I looked through you Before I had a chance to know what was coming You made your move and then you hit the ground running You repent the night you fell on my lips Took my heart and got off on it too I never meant to tell you this But I never wanted much from you Just someone to lay by me at night Say the wrong things that make everything right Feed me his lies, tell me my place Love me in all my beautiful disgrace Laugh when I tell him that I need a break He knows that I'm saying it for saying its sake Run through my hair make it a mess Love me in all my beautiful distress You lead me in circles what more could I want Gave me attention however non-chalant I’ll always see what I’m hoping for You were my vision all that and more So why were you crying when I told the truth I gave my feelings to get through to you I’ve never known anyone more confused Heres all I wanted of you |

Cross Your Heart
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman Cotton memories, silk runs I was wearing my best that day The smell of you on my pillow And your cup in the sink All I have to show for three whole months Some folks need this more than most I do better alone, I do better alone I loved you for a minute there Or did I, Did I love you? Cross your heart and hope to die Stick this needle in your eye Don’t you fall too far behind You want what you know is lost I can’t be had at any cost Give it up or walk the line I choke on the remains of last night’s mess And you saying goodbye to me And me crying no, no, no But all the love and all the prayers Can’t save what’s already dead Inside of you, inside of me Did you really think I’d sit around Waste my time on you? You really thought I’d fall for this? Like the girls you’re used to |

Half Dead
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman She lies there half dead in your arms More beautiful than the last time she came undone, undone She didn’t forget, but why did you? Time doesn’t heal all wounds Least of all you You crawl through her veins like a drug intent on a kill Put her out like a painter setting his watercolor masterpiece in the storm Her eyes a deep ocean blue roll off the canvas, too young to know what you held in your hands She dies and the world doesn’t know what its lost Least of all you Ohh Could you, could you, could you, one last time? Could you? ‘cause you were the only one Could you twist under love Deep down below earth and cold stone a broken soul sings out still from the silence, alone Lightly loved with forceful words she fell by your hand angry in a mess of sin and old lies you promised to save her but you left her to die Ohh Could you, could you, could you, one last time? Could you? ‘cause you were the only one Could you twist under? She lies there half dead in your arms More beautiful than the last time she came undone |

Never Had You
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman She’s got hair of gold A bright smile so she’s been told You can find her every night crying herself to sleep Quiet on the edge of my curls I walk out shield-less into the rain I just want to feel something Just want to be someone new Something that has nothing to do with you You tear me away Like the evening steals my love I guess it was never really mine ‘cause I didn’t have it till I saw you I never really had you too Its funny how the pages are filled With all the memories I’d like to forget You if I could forget you I wait for the time when the color will fall out of my eyes Can you feel my love? Around you, wrap itself around you. You tear me away Like the evening stole my love I guess it was never really mine ‘cause I didn’t have it till I saw you And I never really had you |

Forgive me
Music and Lyrics by Natalie Gelman Wings wrapped up in 6 strings of steal, dark love I never knew dreams could tune into webs of evil lust The glazed over look in your eyes Violent, serene Made back when the air was still and you kissed me… like a machine Forgive me... its been too long I can’t remember I can’t remember forgive me, I’m not so strong I can’t move on Thought what I felt was real Your eyes stabbing me like four years of useless memories I never said goodbye I just needed some time to get it all strait in my head. Forgive me... its been too long I can’t remember I wont remember forgive me, I’m not that strong I can’t move on How can you just look at me with empty eyes When I’m so full of you Your hands used to find their way on me Wipe my eyes and lull me into sleep Now it all I can do is try to find ways over you |
