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…

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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS
Lean my weight, lean our weight, lean our weight
Lean our weight, lean our weight, lean our weight
Let’s get our hands dirty

Melancholy Astronautic Man
music by Allie Moss
words by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS
Round and round you go in circles
Round and round you go in circles
Round and round you go in circles
CHORUS

Late Bloomer
words & music by Allie Moss & Jon Titterington
My first steps were sixteen, or even more
I spent month after month on the floor
Always been a late bloomer
I would cling to the wall or to a chair
Would not walk on my own, I was scared
Even in a song I am afraid
Even in a song I will not say
Always been a late bloomer
Even in a song I am afraid
Even in a song I will not say
Even in a song I will not say what I mean
Always been a late bloomer
And I know the truth hurts
I knew how to walk
But I was afraid to fall
I don’t wanna crawl anymore (always been a late bloomer)

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

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

Leave It All Behind
words & music by Allie Moss, Nate Campany, & Greg Holden
Take a look at where we are
Somehow we have found the point of no return
There’s no time to wait it out
We’ve gotta cross this bridge, or we will watch it burn
The first step will be the hardest one that we will take
One two three, are we ready?
One two One two three
CHORUS:
Oh, we’ll leave it all behind
Oh, and in its place we’ll find
The clarity we know we need, oh
When words collapse we fall apart
The pressure and the pain leave us paralyzed
Knowing there’s no going back, no way to be there now
We still need to try
The first step was the hardest but it’s not last
One two three, are we ready?
CHORUS
I will carry you will carry me
I will carry you will carry me
I know you know we need to leave it all behind, leave it all behind
CHORUS

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

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 did 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

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

Make Your Move
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Greg Holden
Decide and act
There’s no time to relax
Don’t you know?
That we won’t last
If you won’t grab your things and come home.
I’m over this waiting
And I know I’m complaining.
But don’t just look at me and say
All these words but never change
What’s the point of hanging ‘round
On this ship if it’s going down
So I’m leaving this to you
You gotta make your move
Don’t walk, run
We won’t always be young
Don’t you know?
If I hold my tongue
All these years will be gone, just come home
You know that I’m patient
But I’m tired of complaining

Anywhere to Find You
Words & Music by Allie Moss & Rob Seals
Alone in this space where I can feel my voice
Bounce off the concrete stairs, a song that’s built for two
I sing your part ‘cause I don’t have a choice
You’re in my heart, but I can’t find you
I will go anywhere, anywhere
I will go anywhere to find you
I walked to a place where I feel less alone
Where the city scrapes the sky, steel and stone in blue
Shoulder to shoulder but we’re all on our own
Where in this world will I find you?
Finding is no act of will
They say maybe if I just sit still you’d come to me
And what I’m looking for may not be what I need
But I have to believe, oh I have to believe I can find you

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
