Song for a Soldier

by: Sara Bareilles

Ooh...

Since you went away,

You can color me, colour me, colour me, colour me in grey

So I'm working on the words I want to say

I never knew, never knew, never knew your name

You're just my soldier, babe

You lost track of the days

They come and they go, and they come and they go

There's no way that I could keep up with it

And I pray

And I wonder, wonder, wonder if you hear me

Ten thousand miles away

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

But goodnight

You know it's gonna take, gonna take, gonna take more time

Till we're staring up at the same sky

And so I'm going to wait, going to wait, going to wait in line

Till my soldier's mine

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

Goodnight

I don't care how long it takes

I'm not going anywhere, love (no)

You see there

This distance only makes me

Say it over and over till it gets to you

My soldier (ooh)

Hey soldier

I'm missing your life

Wish I could hold ya

And make it alright

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

You're my soldier

Goodnight

Sending you my love and a little light

I never told ya

That you're my soldier

Goodnight (Goodnight)

Goodnight (Goodnight)

Goodnight, Goodnight

Goodnight, Goodnight

Mmm...

Gravity

by : Sara Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long

No matter what I say or do

I'll still feel you here 'till the moment I'm gone

You hold me without touch

You keep me without chains

I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love 

And not feel your reign

Set me free, leave me be

I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am, and I stand

So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be

But you're on to me and all over me

Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile

When I thought that I was strong

But you touch me for a little while 

And all my fragile strength is gone

Set me free, leave me be

I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

Here I am, and I stand

So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be

But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see 

That you're everything I think I need here on the ground

But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go

The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down

You're keeping me down, eh ooh

You're on to me, on to me, and all over

Something always brings me back to you

It never takes too long
