Something to Hold On To
Way With Words
Corner
Words & Music by Allie Moss
When your world trembles and quakes
And your footing suddenly shifts and shakes
Take my hand
We’ll hide in the corner, hide in the corner
Take my hand
We’ll hide til it’s over, til it’s all over
We have choices to make
We have promises that we can’t break
There is nothing left to lose
So hold on to me, I’ll hold on to you
La la la la la…
Days I Regret
Words & Music by Allie Moss
It kills me to say it
These are the days that I regret
Never having said what could’ve been said
While I had the time
While you were still mine
It pains me to admit
These are the times that I regret
Never having said what could’ve been said
While I had your ear
While you were still near
Why didn’t I speak?
Why didn’t I tell you all you mean to me?
Why didn't I tell you? Why didn’t tell you?
While I had the time
While I had your ear
While I had your heart
Before we were apart
Dig With Me
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
What gave me away
Was it my face
It’s written on there clear as day isn’t it
Well, that’s one thing that’s still the same
And I won’t lie to you love
I’m not okay
I’ve already spent too much time hiding that
And that’s one thing that hasn’t changed
Passions I laid to rest may still have some life in them
So dig, dig with me
Let’s raise this thing from the dead
And breathe some life in it
Believe with me
We always say that we know how
To make light of what’s heaviest somehow
Tell me that’s one thing that hasn’t changed
Lean my weight, lean our weight, lean our weight
Lean our weight, lean our weight, lean our weight
Let’s get our hands dirty
Let It Go
Words by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
Music by Allie Moss
My words in your mouth, finishing my phrase
It’s no surprise
That over these last four thousand days
You have become the one who can read my eyes
Darlin’ you see
The fear in me
And how I’d finally be
If I were willing to let it go
My hand in your hand underneath the table
Keeps me composed
Somehow you understand that I am more able than I know
Brave enough to let it go
Darlin’ you see
The fear in me
And how I’ll finally be
When I am willing to let it go
I don’t want to hold on tight to the
Ways that bring the death of me
Do the same thing over and over again
Expecting something different
You untether me
Darlin’ I see
The fear in me
And now I’m finally willing to let it go
Melancholy Astronautic Man
Words by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
Music by Allie Moss
You're like a man alone in outer space
Cradling the earth in the palm of his hand
You orbit 'round, tempted by her face
A beauty so alive, she leaves you spellbound
Even the stars seem to burn for her
What a melancholy astronautic man
You know that you're falling
Without a place to land your heart
And you are worlds apart
Even when she's in your arms
You say the things you know will spark her laughter
Marvel at the glow of the light that it brings
But getting close is a darker matter
Forces are at work greater than you know
Even the stars seem to burn for her
Round and round and round
You go in circles
Passerby
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
I am a passerby
Half-smile as you cut in line
Hold the door to be polite
You’re on your way and I’m on mine
I don’t know the day you’ve had
I don’t know where your head is at
You’re not a friend of mine
I am just a passerby
What if I knew your name?
What if we had the same home room?
What if the things that tie us are stronger than we knew?
What if we'd shared a pint?
What if we cheered the same team?
What if these moments between us mean more than we could dream?
Would I have grace for you and you for me?
Long days have made us numb
I don’t know where you’re coming from
I can’t look you in the eye
I am just a passerby
Prisoner of Hope
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
The bar is set so high that I can walk right under
Can’t reach even on my tippy toes
No matter how far I run in training for this marathon
I trip and fall, lose by a nose
Then something taps me on the shoulder
I listen when it’s older than me, it says
Look up, reach out your hand
You can’t see anything new ‘til you change where you stand
I’ll throw you a rope
You know you’re just a fellow prisoner of hope
Another day, another no
Sucker punch leaves me bunched on the floor (woe is me)
This is when I fall into a downward spiral
Negative thoughts feed vanity (& I’m so hungry)
From the high wall
Sometimes all we see is how hard we could fall
So what if we do
Rise mud-scraped & bruised
Maybe we have to be a little bit broken to hear hope call
Rally
Words & Music by Allie Moss
When there’s nothing I can say to make things better
I sling my arm around your shoulder like a sweater
Try to bear some of the burden that you're wearing
But I can't seem to lift you
There's nothing that makes me smile like your laughter
But this is not quite your happily ever after
Comedy or tragedy, we'll write this one together
I'll be there for you
We’ll rally, rally
We’ll rally around you
We’ll rally, rally around you
When every gift I'd give is not befitting
And I see it in your eyes, the thought of quitting
I gather all my strength and then the people who love you
We're here now for you
A band of two keeps warmer than just one
And a strand of three is not easily broken
Something to Hold On To
Words & Music by Allie Moss
You give me something to hold on to
I hear your voice and it quiets my mind
Every beautiful melody
Every perfect, piercing line
You give me something to hold on to
You are a vessel of light to me tonight
And while I wrestle with demons and appetites
I cling to you
You give me something to hold on to
You tell the stories I need you to tell
Something in the way you sing
Pulls me out of my lonely hell
You give me something to hold on to
Sing to me
Sing to me, sing to me
Your melancholy songs
Sing to me, sing to me
And I will hold on
Way With Words
Words & Music by Allie Moss
You have such a way with words
They jump out from the page to pierce my mind
And I hold them there
And repeat them to myself
Memorize them start to end ‘til they are mine
And I know them well
You have such a way with words
You have such a way with words
Whispered in my ear, they sting my heart
And I hide them there
Hum them to a melody
Hoping that as I sing I do my part
To make them more alive
You have such a way with words
You have such a way with words
No one can say it better than you do
So I don’t try to
I just hide them in my heart
Knowing the change they bring to me is from the inside out
You have such a way with words
