Sweet Mistake

So, in a previous post I wrote about seeing Adrianne perform in person...

It's weeks later, and I'm still listening to her album Sweet Mistake on repeat...in the car, at home, and at the gym...

I keep flashing back to watching her on stage--live or recorded her voice fills me up with a mixture of peace and nostalgia about the past, and hope and dreams for the future.

Just wanted to share a couple of songs that have been particularly captivating to me of late...

"No Braver Thing"

I hear it in your voice
it moves without a noise
and everything you do speaks for you
I wanted you to know
all the thing I could not show
but everytime I tried
oh, you did not care
you made me swear
you wanna run me out
you wanna push it down
where no one else can see
yeah no one else but me
oh baby let it go, oh let it overflow
cuz when you're listening
there is
no braver thing
the best that I could do
was to give myself to you
but you made me take it back
when I yelled your name
but you never came
it's not easier the way things were
you can't ignore the sound
of your heart breaking
yes it's breaking
you wanna run me out
you wanna push it down
where no one else can see
yeah no one else but me
oh baby let it go, oh let it overflow
cuz when you're listening
there is no braver thing


"Who You've Become"

What you gonna do when
your whole world shatters
how you gonna deal then
when nothing matters
when all that's left is you
but you're just a shell of what you knew
I don't think I know you anymore
but if you got the time
I got all night
I'll wait all day
for the moment to arrive
and when it comes
it's sooner done
and you'll still be
who you've become
everybody runs now
and it wears your heart down
no one ever told you
you had nothing to prove
no one's good enough
to be giving up your precious love
and I don't even love you anymore
I got all night
I'll wait all day
for the moment to arrive
and when it comes
it's sooner done
and You'll still be
who you've become


"Shooting Star"

You shine in my eyes
frozen still, open wide
come down, fill my heart
with a fire you flaunt
and I can't say a word
they would only sound absurd
maybe you're my
shooting star
blindly falling through the dark
burning a hold in my sky
so fierce, so bright
and maybe it's all I need
so baby come, shoot through me
wishes won't survive
on you tonight
if you stay for good
on the ground, think you should
it's not a life that you lead
it's just a path, following
cuz everybody else
has you aiming at yourself
silver tear
fall for me and forever, ever, ever
you belong here
my love can fly you higher, higher
higher
maybe you're my shooting star
blindly falling through the dark
burning a hole in my sky
so fierce, so bright
and maybe it's all I need
so baby come, shoot through me
wishes won't survive
on you tonight
