annikajaynefan This album contains a wonderful collection of folksy songs. ienne's lovely voice is just accompanied by a guitar, sometimes a piano. The songs don't need much more than that to shine.

anchor (rough mix) 03:55
lyrics
buy track
they say there’s courage in standing alone they say you prefer it in time but if i can choose then i’d rather have you if that makes me a coward then fine they say it hurts you to need someone and you’ve got your own two feet but i need an anchor, a port in a storm just like i need the waves underneath sure i could pretend i’d be better without you i could convince myself you’re just no good but nobody sees me the way that you see me and if you should leave me, nobody else would and i could pretend that i don’t even miss you i could walk by without saying your name but i’ll never stop kicking myself if i lose you it may hurt, but oh darlin’ you’re worth the price of the pain what you are to me has a weight that i wear an heirloom that can’t be replaced and if they are right and this world’s out of light then how come i feel it when i see your face? like colors your eyes can know only when closed like the warmth when you’re welcomed inside how lucky i am just to see you again when there’s no guarantee that you’re mine sure i could pretend i’d be better without you i could convince myself you’re just no good but nobody sees me the way that you see me and if you should leave me, nobody else would and when you do leave me (cause some day you’ll leave me) i’ll sing in your memory, i’ll honor your name and i’ll always love you, you make it so easy it may hurt, but oh darlin’ you’re worth the price of the pain they say there’s courage in standing alone they say you prefer it in time but if i can choose then I’d rather have you if that makes me a coward then fine © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

si vos audire 03:08
lyrics

started with a spark or someone missed a match light off into light on, wait and watch it catch running like a fever, never coming down raging like a river, roaring through this town you might not pray but just the same hold out your hands and pray for rain danger's at the neighbor's, sad and far away soon enough the blue sky's going yellow gray heavy haze is hanging knocking at your door it's come a couple summers not so close before you might not pray but just the same no stone unturned to fight these flames all is not lost, so much to save we're out of time, we're primed for change you might not pray but just the same hold out your hands and pray for rain © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

room to breathe 03:20
lyrics

he wants to drive you up to the hills due east when the night starts falling, wants to sweep you off your feet he won’t have a say a lot, you know it isn’t fair and you hate that he can win you back if he can get you there the city’s got towers taller than trees scattered lights shining bright, spread as far as you can see and he says he takes it back, it sounds just like the truth and it makes a lot of sense to a girl like you you see a sky in california you see a life in california and anyway you need some room to breathe you can’t grow until you shed some skin and you need some place to be cause you’ve been lost since you can’t remember when oh whoa whoa whoa (you’re ready to feel it) on whoa whoa whoa so he’s got a lot of friends but you’re not the jealous kind it’s your job to set it right when he crosses every line and he says he takes it back, it sounds just like the truth and bad things don’t happen to good girls like you like you you saw the sky in california thought you’d be fine in california but you need some room to breathe you can't grow if you’re just caving in and you need some place to be cause you’ve been lost since you can’t remember when oh whoa whoa whoa (you’re ready to feel it) oh whoa whoa whoa you’ve gotta get out of california you’ve gotta get out of california © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

strangers 03:13
lyrics
buy track
it was you and me on an empty street and the lights were all low and i tried not to stare and you never promised, if i’m being honest i thought i was ready for you not to care then i took one look at you and right then, i guess i knew and you had no idea you had no idea i couldn’t say a word sometimes i would question if it even happened you said that you knew me, i questioned that, too i knew time had passed and it was built not to last but despite my best judgment i followed you through and each day on seas of doubt i watched you drift further out and i tried to scream and i tried to shout i couldn’t say a word will you please forgive me if i acted silly? i wasn’t expecting to see you tonight when you called me over, i was less than sober i don’t even know her, i’m sure she’s alright but you took one look at me and right then, i was sure you’d see i thought it was ready i thought i was ready i thought thought i was ready for you not to care © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

it’s gonna go slow move up and fall back i’ll blame someone else and cover my tracks won’t be a straight line but give it some time and you’re gonna see it it’s gonna feel wrong i want to be right can’t say i won’t run but I’m dying to fight won’t be a straight line but give me some time and you’re gonna see it i always let you down, it’s never on purpose i ask your forgiveness, hope that i've earned it i know the way i love you isn’t perfect i’m working on it honest you have some doubts, that much I can see but i love the sure words you’ve spoken to me i’m trying to play smart i’m trying to work hard and you’re gonna see it you carry my weight you muffle my doubt it seems like my fault how it always plays out won’t be overnight but i’ll set it right you’re gonna see it i always let you down, it’s never on purpose i ask your forgiveness, hope that i've earned it i know the way i love you isn’t perfect i’m working on it honest i’m working on it won’t be a straight line but give it some time you’re gonna see it © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

paper cranes 03:29
lyrics
buy track
paper cranes and steel guitar strings there are parts of you inside these things part you left when you were leaving parts i kept but not for keeping and if i could i would erase them i know that time would just replace them with more little signs that you are still around building it up just to knock it down you’re over it now, i know that’s what’s best i guess i’ve got just one last request would you look at me and try to see what used to be beautiful in me? then let me know if it’s worth all this mess full moon skies, summer humming i guess i knew this day was coming i should’ve told you i was sorry what’s stubborn now you once found charming were you aware that day i kissed you? could you feel how much i’d missed you? you never did send me that letter i tell myself it’s for the better i waited two months for that letter and i tell myself this way’s better remember the park and my present dress? i guess i’ve got just one last request whatever you said to me back then, do you think you could say it to me again? then let me know if it’s worth all this mess the timing wasn’t right until that night and the words from that old song oh, "but never meant to last" we let it be the past, it happened and it’s gone still, i wouldn’t trade anything for those days no you’re over it now, i know that’s what’s best © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

means to amends 03:23
lyrics
buy track
strange how we left things, no means to amends strange i don't know you, we're not even friends we both said forever whenever we went back then i thought i knew what that meant i used to find you all over the place a voice in the street and my heart used to race one glimpse and i'd swear you were lost in the crowd i don't even know what you look like now sometimes i wake up and i think it's too late call me a coward, there ain't no tempting fate haunted by all the things that i haven't done whenever it mattered, all i did was run strange how we left things, so much wasn't said i wanted to tell you, i walked out instead they say at its core, loving means letting go i didn't believe them strange how we left things we're not even friends © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

open wide 04:58

the words I regret are the words left unsaid like the time with the boys on the bus kids can be mean when they’re feeling unseen better the shoe than the bug a bully, home broken i still could have spoken i could’ve done all that I could and should I forgive him? it’s not a decision cause deep down I know that I should deep down I know that I should so open wide, starry-eyed leading with your heart this time name what you’ve always known get it right, hell, say it twice or save your face and spend your life learning to leave it alone learning to leave it alone the thing about time is it changes its mind you think you have more than enough to say what you mean to let water run clean over old wounds you'd rather not touch you’re not really ready so you’re holding steady say later but mean not now when later finds you those good years behind you you’ll find yourself asking how find yourself asking how so open wide, starry-eyed leading with your heart this time name what you’ve always known get it right, hell, say it twice or save your face and spend your life learning to leave it alone learning to leave it alone learning to leave it alone learning to leave it alone learning to leave it alone © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett

these days 04:23

will we live to see the blossoms in the backyard? flowers we planted too late into spring? these days these kinda thoughts are never too far i know it’s alright and i also don’t know anything is it tuesday or wednesday? i’ve forgotten is it still june, or is it july? cut around the worms but the core is still rotten i should throw it out but i want to believe it’s alright i should throw it out but i want to believe it’s alright these days these days these days these days just history repeating no hope no hope no hope no hope just time intervening this home this home and all i’ve known internally bleeding this pain a flame a fire untamed untamed without meaning without meaning late september cleared the smoke and brought us sunlight pink petals looking through the leafy green these days, awake, alive, and offered this life i’m scared to be here but there’s nowhere that i’d rather be i know it’s alright but i also don’t know anything i know it’s alright but i also don’t know anything © 2021 Adrienne Bocci-Barrett
