Waking up at noon
Another hotel room
We'll all be older soon
Sometimes I want to get away
But instead I stay
Guess I like this sort of thing
I'm inclined to try anything
Why do we fight?
Not tonight
Lets try anything
A little more work
A little more time
I know it's hard
But it's yours and mine
We're moving slow
But we never stand still
We're just heading uphill
(We are one you can be sure that
We are more you can be sure that)
I'll be your biggest fan
Because I understand
And I see it in your eyes
You need to hear these words I say
No please don't run away
You might like this sort of thing
I'm inclined to try anything
Why, why do we fight?
No, not tonight
Lets try anything
A little more work
A little more time
I know it's hard
But it's yours and mine
We're moving slow
But we never stand still
We're just heading uphill
We are one you can be sure that
We are more you can be sure that
We are one you can be sure that
We are more…we are more
A little more work
A little more time
I know it's hard
But it's yours and mine
We're moving slow
But we never stand still
We're just heading uphill
Broken Parts
Lyrics and Music by Mai Bloomfield.
©2008 Raining Jane
Face to face again
Me to you, you to me
We go back as friends
Sometimes enemies
You come and go
Over the years
Then I find you in the smoke
And you find me in the mirror
Lets talk about first impressions and rejection
Lets figure out where it starts
In the heart
In the broken parts
In the heart
That's where it starts
It's the little things
That say the most
There's a homeless man on the corner
Getting passed like an invisible ghost
And we turn our heads
When it feels out of our hands
And we close our eyes
When we don't understand
Lets talk about what we're afraid of, why we hide love
Lets get it out so we can get in
In the heart
In the broken parts
In the heart
I'm calling from a distance
Nobody's home
I'm knocking on the windows
And calling on the phone
Trying to get inside
Through all the layers
The walls are built thick
And I'm trying to save her
The heart
Clementine

Clementine you're mine
And I hold you in the palm of my hand
Rain or shine you give all the time
I'm coming to understand
The only truth I have found
The cycle is circling round and round
Round and round again
The only truth I have found
The cycle is circling round and round
Round and round again…and again
Phone alarm in the middle of war
Brothers and sisters what are we standing for?
I can tell you the ending before it begins
Un peace is the answer nobody wins
Nobody wins…we go around again
The only truth I have found
The cycle is circling round and round
Round and round again
The only truth I have found
The cycle is circling round and round
Round and round again…and again
Naturally
You say it's simply inconceivable
But I believe
That you'll come lookin' for me
When you believe
We gather here spring to fall
The time will come to leave this all
Back to the ground where it began
Little seeds from my hand
You're falling from my hands
The only truth I have found
The cycle is circling round and round
Round and round again
We follow the sun, everyone
I believe the only truth I have found
The cycle is circling round and round
Round and round again
Pinball
Lyrics and Music by Mai Bloomfield
©2008 Raining Jane
In this life arcade
I am one in a million
Bouncing off the pins
Of a neon illusion
I know some play for fun
But I know you play to win
I'm just trying to get through
And I'm watching the quarters fall in
I should've been wise to the conversation
You were shutting your eyes on the situation
Today I see clearer
I'm just a silver ball
Shooting by you like a mirror
Reflecting that is all
I'm racing down the line
At the speed of light
I'm suddenly reminded
Why I even tried
I should've been wise to the conversation
You were shutting your eyes on the situation
And all of these points that you're busy collecting
I'm finally starting to question
At the end of the day
It's just a game that we play
And a fistful of paper tickets
Will get you nothing but a plastic ring
I'm now wise to the conversation
You were shutting your eyes on the situation
All that we're striving for
Is a straight shot through
I recognize there's just some work to do
Castles and Factories
Lyrics by Chaska Potter and Mona Tavakoli
Music by Becky Gebhardt
© 2008 Raining Jane
Believe you me
There's little people in the trees
Dangling their candy dreams
Trading castles for factories
Convince me
There's something better to rely on
Frame your nonsense on the wall
Then pin it to a waterfall
Will you please turn off the machine?
Drawing conclusions
With a pencil in your hand
Drawing bridges
To remind you where you stand
Where do you stand?
Where do you stand?
Can you believe
There's a tailor in the sky
He sews white pockets full of tears
Collecting raindrops from your eyes
Incomplete
It's one belief against the other
In constellations
We are bound to one another
What do you see when you turn off the TV?
Drawing conclusions
With a pencil in your hand
Drawing bridges
To remind you where you stand
Where do you stand?
Where do you stand?
There's little people in the trees
They're trading castles for factories
Have I convinced you of anything?
Desperate Sails
Lyrics by Chaska Potter and Mona Tavakoli

Desperate sails today
They're going floating bye bye gone
I kissed your pretty mouth
Going going bye bye gone
I've seen it all too clear
The way I'll disappear
I'll fade into the black moon, the black stars
Far away from here
I'll send you a letter
Explaining my circumstance
Predicting it would be better
If we left no second chance
So why am I here holding you?
Everything we want is not what we need
Leaning on the love that is in between
I wait another minute to see this through
Waiting to let go 'til you let go too
Now I'm making a list
So I can tell you why
This love is too much work
To be the forever kind
Don't ask me to stay
Believe me I've tried
I turn to walk away
Hoping the words will be implied
So why am I still here holding you?
Everything we want is not what we need
Leaning on the love that is in between
I wait another minute to see this through
Waiting to let go 'til you let go too
Tell me the truth
Was it me was it you?
I'm standing on the outside
Watching the bottom fall through
But I'm still holding you
Everything we want is not what we need
Leaning on the love that is in between
I wait another minute to see this through
Waiting to let go 'til you let go…
Will you let go?
Desperate sails today
They're going floating bye bye gone
I kissed your pretty mouth
Going going bye bye gone
