INTRO (x3)
You are the treasure
You are the trap
You move in spirals
No turning back
Oh where, where are you going
I don't know but I'm holding hands
with the unknown
Its been a while been slowly building
now I know to ask myself
what else is here that I'm not seeing
CHORUS (x2)
Cause dancing in the dark will make you strong
you might get a fright
might be out all night
but you'll get along
There's a stream up ahead
I just haven't caught up to it yet
but its been running this whole time
since the beginning of time
I can hear its laughing waters
calling me
around the bend
when will I get in
CHORUS (x2)
Cause dancing in the dark will make you strong
you might get a fright
might be out all night
but you'll get along

Simplify

Every morning we hit the ground running
with the sunrise and the bird songs
and the taste of yesterday
Brush my hair brush my teeth and I brush my mind
in an attempt to start fresh
but I'm left behind
There's a thunder cloud rumbling across the hill
It gets in my stomach
and it chases me across the sky
CHORUS
It said maybe you could simplify
Maybe you should simplify
Every moment when we try to stay present
we're stuck in what just happened
and wondering what might be
I had a friend and when I thought I was angry
I looked a little deeper
came sadness and then came love
And the rain starts tumbling from the sky
it taps me on the shoulder
I'm moved but I don't know why
CHORUS
It said maybe you could simplify
Maybe you should simplify
Maybe you could simplify
Maybe you should simplify

I Tried Loving You

I'm not sure what to make of this
but my health's coming back strong
painful lessons I would've missed
if you hadn't come along
I'm not saying thank you
You were blind to this too
You saw my open heart as a weakness
but its a strength you never knew
CHORUS
And I tried loving you
And i guess i wasn't meant to
I build a bridge to you
and you burnt it right through
You turned cold so I packed my things
I went and sat alone for a while
In a dark cave there was nothing coming in
and I learnt to love myself
I learnt to hold myself
Its hard to make sense of relationships
so much is felt and its always changing
but in my heart I know I'll be ok
everyone learns in there own way
and in there own time
CHORUS
And I tried loving you
And I guess I wasn't meant to
I build a bridge to you
And you burnt it right through
I'm not sure what to make of this
but my health's coming back strong
painful lessons I would've missed
If you hadn't come along
CHORUS
And I tried loving you
And I guess I wasn't meant to
I build a bridge to you
And you burnt it right through
