This fight is over
'Cause I surrender
I'm so tired
And I don't want to be your enemy
Any longer
Cause we are one
Created and loved by the same God
And we've got the same problems
But we can fix them with the same love
We've got time
Time enough to change each other's minds
So let's open our ears and hearts
And look beyond the fantasy to find
We are one
Created and loved by the same God
And we've got the same problems
But we can fix them with the same love
This world's got big problems
Terrorists and haters and starvation
So we can't stay divided
'Cause we were never meant to be at war
We are one
Created and loved by the same God
And we've got the same problems
We can fix them with the same love
We can fix them with the same love

You Answered

Too young to know and too proud to learn
I blocked you out with my own noise
Come to find I was all alone
So I called for you and you answered
And I am coming alive
You've opened my eyes
And I believe in you
I'm forever true
And I know
This love will never die
I tried to find you in the hurricanes
I tried to find the pillar of flames
But i couldn't read the signs
And I found you out of sight in the silence
And I am coming alive
You've opened my eyes
And I believe in you
I'm forever true
And I know
This love will never die
You came to me soft and slow
Sweet and warm like a summer dream
And fantasy starts to fade away
As you replace my empty spaces
And I am coming alive
You've opened my eyes
And I believe in you
I'm forever true
And I know
This love will never die

It must have rained last night, there's puddles on the ground
I stayed up late last night, but I didn't hear the sound
I was pretending that I play rock and roll
But pretending can only get you so far
And I have the blues
'Cause I've been missing you
And the sky is a mirror
for the tears I've cried for you
You said goodbye last night, though this wouldn't be your last
You made a promise that you'd be coming back
And I believe you 'cause I know you'd never lie
And you are the truth that I need
And I have the blues
'Cause I've been missing you
And the sky is a mirror
for the tears I've cried for you
And I cried for your love
For what you did for me
You found me lost and lonely
And you took me as your own
And I have the blues
'Cause I've been missing you
And the sky is a mirror
for the tears I've cried for you
And I cried

Stuck In My Head
03:10

I hear the music through the windows
And I am curious so I take my chances
Look inside, it's beautiful
And I want more so I sing the harmony
And ever since, that song's been stuck in my head
And I'll sing 'cause I never want silence again
Late at night when I'm not sleeping
In the dark I sing that old song
Sounding through the darkest hour
It reminds me that the sun will rise
Ever since, that song's been stuck in my head
And I'll sing 'cause I never want silence again
Belt it out in my own version
Same old song, you've never heard it
Borrowed start to a perfect ending
Borrowed time I take to keep it
And ever since, that song's been stuck in my head
And I'll sing 'cause I never want silence again

Sometimes
Sad songs make me angry
'Cause I don't wanna cry
For reasons that aren't mine
'Cause your tears are making money
And you're probably making things up
But people empathize
And I guess that's good
But they tell you things get easier with time
The hard truth is that's a lie
And I'll never reach the point where it all makes sense
'Cause the more I learn the less I know
I left you behind
For the longest time
'Cause I wrote a paper
About evil
And I still don't know a thing
I hate this postmodern relativity
Why can't there just be
Good and bad without the gray?
And they tell you things get easier with time
But the hard truth is that's a lie
And I'll never reach the point where it all makes sense
'Cause the more i learn the less I know
Are we all crazy?
Is this normal now?
My mind is tangled
In philosophy and contradictions
And I know it'll only get worse
As I try to understand
And they tell you things get easier with time
But the hard truth is that's a lie
I'll never reach the point where it all makes sense
"cause the more I learn the less I know
The more I learn the less I know
The more I learn the less I know

Nostalgia

There's a window I like to sing to
I grew up in Massachusetts
20 years that I vaguely remember
And I think I finally understand nostalgia
I was a child but I feel so old right now
Stuck in between tradition and indecision
I spent so much time
Trying to define what was normal
And maybe there's no such thing
But I'm not one for giving in
I was a child but I feel so old right now
Stuck in between tradition and indecision
There's a game I used to play
It was heroic nonexistence
And now it just seems outdated
But saving the world is harder than it sounds
I was a child but I feel so old right now
Stuck in between tradition and indecision

Summer Day
04:00

Beautiful day as the sun fades
Into shades of pink
People exchange smiles as they
Make their way up the hill
Waiting to see the stars explode
Into red white and blue
Smell the smoke and the party food
And the kids are playing in the street
We'll say what a day as we're walking back through Portland
Back in out home town and we've been doing this for years
Perfect summer day and we're driving home at midnight
Perfect summer night and we got the music playing
Beautiful day as the light fades
into black and blue
colored lights start to shine like
Little fireflies
Little laughs inspired by
Explosions in the sky
People flood the street as they
Wait for twilight to come
We'll say what a day as we're walking back through Portland
Back in our hometown and we've been doing this for years
Perfect summer day and we're driving home at midnight
Perfect summer night and we got the music playing
Beautiful night as the starlight
Takes the place of the sun
Hear the people laugh as they
Walk home in the dark
All the little kids will say
That was the best show yet
Mom and dad will roll their eyes and smile
And the old ladies will agree
We'll say what a day as we're walking back through Portland
Back in out home town and we've been doing this for years
Perfect summer day and we're driving home at midnight
Perfect summer night and we got the music playing

Julia

Julia I promised you a song for your birthday
So I thought for a while about what would make you smile
And I started to daydream and I got some ideas
But they didn't really make any sense
Thinking about puzzle pieces, rock in the sand
And notes that just sound out of key
But that sort of nonsense makes you and me
We can count on the lucky 13
So long ago we were just five years old
Playing pretend, we were just making friends
We sat alone at the back of the room
'Cause we got in trouble again
Then we would play all those fairy tale games
Alone in our own little world
2,000 came, millennia's end
And we lived through the end of the world
Julia I promised you a song for your birthday
So I wrote you this rhyme because you make me smile
Playing with time we're not losing out minds
We're just letting them go
Walk in the graveyard and play some guitar
Hang out and do nothing 'till four
You're out of time, year and I'm out of key
And I wouldn't have it any other way

Passenger
03:35

Driving late at night with a friend, I'm a passenger
And I'll go wherever you take me
Time passes by and no words pass between us
And it seems we're the only two alive
All I can see is what shines in the headlights
But I know you read my mind
Seems like I dream, I don't remember how you found me
Or why you were looking at all
But I'll try not to fall asleep
'Cause I love your company
And I got no destination
'Cause with you is where I want to be
Trying to stay awake 3 hours past midnight
And I think we'll have to stay up all night
I don't know where we're going, but you know where I've been
And you took me from my own little world
I told you to drive, I don't care if we speed,
Just get me where i need to be
You didn't argue, you said it might sound insane
But we're gonna have to take the long way
So I'll try not to fall asleep
'Cause I love your company
And I got no destination
'Cause with you is where I want to be
interlude
I'll try not to fall asleep
'Cause I love your company
And I got no destination
'Cause with you is where i want to be

Good In Things
07:21

Do you remember when we built castle walls
With colored bricks to the ceiling of our skies?
Our friends and brothers came and knocked them down
But we built something better from the wreckage somehow
And we made peace as we made a bigger mess
And that was how we learned to forgive and forget
Oh I believe that we are all forgiven
And I believe that we are all redeemed
And I will sing
Hallelujah
'Cause there is good in things
And I believe it
I can see that it's true
And it's beautiful
I've heard you say that you've seen better days
And you're just waiting for the right time and place
You're seeing shadows dance before your eyes
And what you're looking for is passing you by
So let it go if you want something to hold
And you will find a treasure that can't be bought or sold
And it'll stay like a taste in your mouth
Go to your head and erase your fear and doubt
And I will sing
Hallelujah
'Cause there is good in things
And I believe it
I can see that it's true
And it's beautiful
Count to six and start again
Slow down time 'till you hear the refrain
Memory and hope will be your harmony
You'll be amazed by the things you will see
'Cause there is beauty in black and blue
Walk far enough and you'll wear down your shoes
But you'll find good in the places you go
And you'll find truth somewhere along the road
And I will sing
Hallelujah
'Cause there is good in things
And I believe it
I can see that it's true
And it's beautiful

Katie Curtis Reading, Massachusetts
I am a Catholic songwriter from Reading Massachusetts. To me music is a love language with God, and every song I write has an element of prayer in it, or is a prayer in itself.
