maggie rogers - alaska

I was walking through icy streams
That took my breath away
Moving slowly through westward water
Over glacial plains

And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
So it seemed

And now, breathe deep
I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be
I'm exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
You and I, there's air in between

Cut my hair so I could rock back and forth
Without thinking of you
Learned to talk and say
Whatever I wanted to

And I walked off you
And I walked off an old me
Oh me, oh my, I thought it was a dream
So it seemed

And now, breathe deep
I'm inhaling
You and I, there's air in between
Leave me be
I'm exhaling
You and I, there's air in between
You and I, there's air in between
You and I, there's air in between

maggie rogers - a love letter

One, two, three, four

Dear old tree in my front yard
Thank you for the shade
Your leaves are speckled with streaming rays of sun
And I love the rustling sound they make

The swing on your branch is my favorite spot
And I'm sorry for the steps we nailed into your bark

Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will

Dear old chickens that wander through my yard
Thank you for the eggs that you've laid
Oh, their blue green shells are speckled with dirt
And I love the rustling sound they make

While chasing you is something I admit I've done a lot
I would never steam or fry you or put you in a pot

Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will

Dear old house that I grew up in
I miss you when I'm gone
The dog hair on my sofa
And the light through my window at dawn

While I know at times it seems like I am far away
I'll be home on thanksgiving and on Christmas day

Yes, I'll love you forever
Yes, I'll love you still
And I'll love you more than any man
Oh, I always will

maggie rogers - better

Silence lays like lace around my mind
Delicate embrace I need sometimes
Guides me when I'm on my way back home
Tells me when I'm truly all alone

And when I get sick of the silence
I get back on the highway
Could be going nowhere
I can be going your way
Sick of the silence
But I'll be somewhere new by dawn

They could be
Better, better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better, better
Oh, oh-oh-oh

And can you can recall that moment at all
When we warmed up way last June?
And how many times do we talk through the night
And sleep in way past noon?

But now I'm sick of the silence
Getting back on the highway
Could be going nowhere
I can be going your way
Sick of the silence
But I'll be somewhere new by dawn

They could be better
They could be better
Better, better, better, better, better
Better
Better, better, better, better, better
Better, better, better, better, better

maggie rogers - dog years

I count my time in dog years
Swimming in sevens
Slow dancing in seconds
Oh, and I'm the one that loves you
Oh, and I'm the one that loves you

I spend my time daydreaming
As sure as the sea
It's just you and me
Oh, and I'm the one that loves you
Oh, and I'm the one that loves you

And if you had a bad week
Just let me touch your cheek
Oh, and I'll be there waiting
When you get frustrated
I know things are changing
But, darling, I'm saying
I'll be singing you in all of my songs

Come what may
I'll still stay
Inside your mind
For all of time
Singing, ooh
We will be alright
In the afterlife

Of all that is shifting
And shaking my system
I know your rhythm
And I know, I know, I know, I know
That I'm the one that loves you
Oh, and I'm the one that loves you

And if you had a bad week
Then I'll sing you to sleep
Oh, and I'll be there waiting
If you start to get jaded
I know things are changing
But, darling, I'm saying
I've been here all along

Come what may
I'll still stay
Inside your mind
For all of time
Singing, ooh
We will be alright

Not in vain
We'll still stay the same
Inside your mind
For all of time
Singing, ooh
We will be alright
In the afterlife
In the afterlife

I count my time in dog years
dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years
We will be alright
(Dog years, dog years)
We will be alright
(Dog years, dog years)
In the afterlife
(Dog years, dog years, dog years, dog years)
Singing, baby, we will be alright
(Dog years, dog years)
We will be alright
We will be alright

maggie rogers - on off

I'm coming up slowly
I'm high on emotion
With waves of this feeling
As light as the ocean
And then I see you
When I feel like I'm drowning
And then I see you
It's OK, it's OK, I'm OK, I'm alright again
It's OK, I'm OK, it's OK

Take me to that place where you always go
When you're sleeping or your day takes you low so low
When I'm on and off again
On and off again
On and off again, oh

Take me to that space where I need someone
When I'm shaking or my mind starts coming undone
When I'm on and off again
On and off again
On and off again
You turn me on like

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Take me through this wild time
Stay with me through all of time
If I'm drenched in madness, tangled blues
Won't you?
Won't you?

Take me to that place where you always go
When you're sleeping or your day takes you low so low
When I'm on and off again
On and off again
On and off again, oh

Take me to that space where I need someone
When I'm shaking or my mind starts coming undone
When I'm on and off again
On and off again
On and off again
You turn me on like

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
You turn me on like
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
You turn me on like
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
You turn me on like
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
You turn me on like
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Take me to that place, where you always
Take me to that place
Take me to that place
Take me to that, place
Where you always go
Won't you take me to that place?
Won't you take me to that place?
Take me to that place
Take me to that place
Take me to that, place
Where you always go
Where you always go
Where you always go (take me take me)
Where you always (take me)
Where you always

maggie rogers - split stones

I can see it now,
tripping on split stones
trying to make hits so we could play them loud

picking at our souls
like we didn?t know
just like we were only playing with the sound

trying to control what was so low
but I never knew how then to just go and let it out
get it out

But if you could fight
if you could choose
if you could say all the things you wanted to
if you couldn?t lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose

if you could cry
if you couldn?t sleep it off
if you could feel everything you?ve ever caused
if you couldn?t lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose

like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose

And I?m not saying i would always speak up
that it didn?t creep up
on me all the time

i?m just saying there was a window
where you could?ve let go
in that place and time

laughing all it off like it was innocent
oh, but all i ever wanted was to get rid of it
and let it out
get it out

But if you could fight
if you could choose
if you could say all the things you wanted to
if you couldn?t lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose

if you could cry
if you couldn?t sleep it off
if you could feel everything you?ve ever caused
if you couldn?t lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose

like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose

and I can see us there
you staring at me
and me just praying for air

I can see us there
standing cheek to cheek
and counting week by week
wishing everything would be clear

I can see us there
I can see us there

But if you could fight
if you could choose
if you could say all the things you wanted to
if you couldn?t lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose

if you could cry
if you couldn?t sleep it off
if you could feel everything you?ve ever caused
if you couldn?t lie
if you would only move like you had something to lose

like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose
like you had something to lose

maggie rogers - fallingwater

Hold on
I thought that I could take it from here Oh
I thought that I was calm in the clear
Now it's getting harder

Hold on
I thought that I was doing so well
Like everything was under a spell
Now it's getting harder

I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now IÂ?m in the creek
And it's getting harder
IÂ?m like Fallingwater

Go on
And tell me just what IÂ?m supposed to say
As if it could be any other way
Oh it's getting louder

Go on
And tell me just how I could allow
All that's light to end up somehow
Where it's getting darker

I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm stuck upstream
And it's getting harder
IÂ?m like Fallingwater

And IÂ?m like Fallingwater
Set me free
You were like Fallingwater
Coming down on me

I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now IÂ?m in the creek

I never gave you everything I wish I could
I should have seen it coming from the way you stood
But now IÂ?m in the creek

And it's getting harder

And it was coming down on me
When I was standing in the creek
IÂ?m like Fallingwater

maggie rogers - give a little

If I was who I was before
Then IÂ?d be waiting at your door
But I cannot confess I am the same

So look at me and hear me now
With all my body screaming out
Oh in my mind, IÂ?m thinking of a place

Where no one knows me
And no one knows you
You donÂ?t know me
And I donÂ?t know you

If you would open up your heart
Drop your weapons, drop your guard
Just a little trust is all it takes

Oh I know that youÂ?ve been around
But hear me now IÂ?m crying out
Let me be the light upon the lake

And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

If only we could find a way
To leave all of our darker days
Soak in all the sweetness on our skin

And if youÂ?re waiting in the sun
Then carry me on wings of love
To that brighter day where all begins

And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

And if no one knows me
And no one knows you
You donÂ?t know me
And I donÂ?t know you

EverythingÂ?s fresh and
EverythingÂ?s new
you donÂ?t know me
and I donÂ?t know you

I can feel it starting up now yeah
I can feel it all just coming through
ThereÂ?s a whole new world just waiting baby
So much waiting just for me and you

maggie rogers - back in my body

I was stopped in London when I felt it coming down
Crushing all around me with a great triumphant sound
Like the dam was breaking and my mind came rushing in
I was stopped in London, oh, I was awakening
I was

I was stopped in Paris when I almost ran away
Two times round the block before I decided to stay
Puffed along a cigarette that went and made me sick
Spent another day pretending I was over it

This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh

All along the highway there's a tiny whispering sound
Saying I could find you in the dark of any town
[?]
[?]

Oh, this time, oh, this time

This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
Oh, I lost you in the morning, don't live anywhere
I find myself and I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)

Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time
Oh, this time, oh, this time

This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
Oh, I lost you in the morning, don't live anywhere
I find myself and I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm (back in my body)
Oh, I lost you in the morning, don't live anywhere
I find myself and I was going everywhere
This time, I know I'm fighting
This time, I know I'm back in my body, oh
Back in my body, oh
I'm back in my body, oh
Back in my body, oh, oh

maggie rogers - light on

Would you believe me now
If I told you I got caught up in a wave?
Almost gave it awaywould you hear me out if I told you I was terrified for days?
Thought I was gonna break

Oh, I couldn't stop it
Tried to slow it all down
Crying in the bathroom
Had to figure it out
With everyone around me saying
You must be so happy now

Oh, if you keep reaching out
Then I'll keep coming back
And if you're gone for good
Then I'm okay with that
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on

And I am finding out
There's just no other way
That I'm still dancing at the end of the day
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on

And do you believe me now
That I always had the best intentions, babe?
Always wanted to stay
Can you feel me now
That I'm vulnerable in oh-so many ways?
Oh, and I'll never change

Oh, I couldn't stop it
Tried to figure it out
But everything kept moving
And the noise got too loud
With everyone around me saying
"You should be so happy now"

Oh, if you keep reaching out
Then I'll keep coming back
And if you're gone for good
Then I'm okay with that
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on

And I am finding out
There's just no other way
That I'm still dancing at the end of the day
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on

Oh, leave the light on
Oh, would you leave the light on?

If you keep reaching out
Then I'll keep coming back
But if you're gone for good
Then I'm okay with that
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on

And I am finding out
There's just no other way
That I'm still dancing at the end of the day
If you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on

Oh, if you leave the light on
Then I'll leave the light on
Oh, if you leave the light on

maggie rogers - say it

Standing in the open light
Within the swelter of the night
I found myself staring at you
And every time our fingers touched
I felt like it would be too much
And too little hang onto

I can not fall in love with you
I can not feel this way so soon, so soon
I can not be this way with you
I can not fall in love with you

I knew it when [?]
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
[?]
I held on with a big balloon
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it
I couldn't just say it

Every evening, every time
I keep replaying in my mind
And wondering if you do the same
And if it makes you lose your grip
And if it makes you just forget
That all of it's a bit insane

I can not fall in love with you
I can not feel this way so soon, so soon
I can not be this way with you
I can not fall in love with you

I knew it when [?]
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
[?]
I held on with a big balloon
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I knew it when [?]
That I'd be begging you to stay
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
[?]
I held on with a big balloon
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it to myself
I couldn't say it
I couldn't just say it

I can not fall in love with you
I can not feel this way so soon
I can not be this way with you
I can not fall in love with you

maggie rogers - past life

Oh, I could feel the change a'coming
Felt it in the breeze
Oh, I could feel the change a'coming
Coming right for me
Oh, I could feel the change a'coming
Saw it on TV
Oh, I could feel the change a'coming
Saw it staring right on back at me

Oh, I could feel the shadow coming
Straight on down the line
Masquerading like it was a friend of mine
Oh, I could feel the darkness
Wrapping all its arms in mine
Oh, I could feel the world was turning
All inside my mind
Oh, I could feel the world was turning
All inside, all inside my mind

I knew it when it started
Felt the shift right as it parted
Saw my feet right down below me
Saw the whole room move around me
Saw my old life and my old friends
Saw me haunted, saw me back again

Oh, maybe there's a past life coming out inside of me
Maybe it's the song I'm singing
Maybe everything's just turning out how it should be
Maybe there's a past life coming out inside of me
Oh, maybe there's a past life coming out inside, inside of me

maggie rogers - little joys

Bonfire of awe and a thirst was burning
Heart like a house, the floorboards were turning
Dark river beds where slumber was decay

The light it wrapped you in its flame
The only heir of the breaking day
Made words an arrow only you could aim

With no injury to claim
I'm a big mess of little joys
My blue eyes are wrapped in grey
I'm a big mess

I loved you once, but none to blame
A foggy peak in the August rain
A humid heat that would never dissipate

The wind it hunted our stray calls
Combined with dragging from the hull
But that was then when you gripped tight on me

With no injury to claim
I'm a big mess of little joys
My blue eyes are wrapped in grey
I'm a big mess of little joys

Lunar, solar, thought that things were over
Midnight, twilight, thought that things were alright
And don't you take my heart away
I'm a big mess of little joys

With no injury to claim
I'm a big mess of little joys
My blue eyes are wrapped in grey
I'm a big mess of little joys

Lunar, solar, thought that things were over
Midnight, twilight, thought that things were alright
And don't you take my heart away
I'm a big mess of little joys

maggie rogers - burning

I've been sleeping, barely dreaming
Through one year and one half
Found another, called him my lover
Helped me get my old self back

It was you-ou-ou-ou
It was you-ou-ou-ou
Only you-ou-ou-ou
You remind me, oh, you bring me back

And you said
"Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up"
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning

Oh, I was reckless, once was breathless
Running from that day I snapped
But I've got a feeling and keep believing
I'm never gonna give this back

It was you-ou-ou-ou
It was you-ou-ou-ou
Only you-ou-ou-ou
Oh, I'm never gonna give this back

And you said
"Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up"
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning

And if you're giving up, would you tell me?
I'm gonna keep this love if you let me
And if you're giving up, would you tell me?
I'm gonna keep this love

And you said
"Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up"
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning
"Let me help you wake you up
Let me help you break you up
Let me help you open up"
I'm in love, I'm alive
Oh, I'm burning

maggie rogers - love you for a long time

Came in like a vision from the old west wind
Like a bright new dream that I was stepping in
I saw your face and I know it was a signand I still think about that moment all of the time

You know that I can never make this up
I found the reason I'm not giving up
I felt the fever and I know it was mine
Oh, I am going to love you for a long time

And in the morning when I'm waking up
I swear you're the first thing that I'm thinking of
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time

Oh, I never knew it
Yeah, you took me by surprise
While I was getting lost so deep inside your diamond eyes
So many things that I still wanna say
And if devotion is a river, then I'm floating away

And in the morning when you pick me up
And all the world is quiet, tip the mourning dove
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time

Oh, don't slow down now
Come and break me down
Keep your hands in my hands
Keep your mouth on my mouth
Don't slow this down
Never let me go
Baby, don't you want to see how far this thing can go?

And in the morning when you wake me up
I know that forever could never be enough
I feel it in my body, know it in my mind
Oh, I, I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
For a long time
Oh, I'm gonna love you for a long time

Ooh, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Yeah, I'm gonna love you for a long time
Won't you keep letting me love you for a long time?
For a long, long, long, long time
I'm gonna love you for a long time
