I Could've Sworn by Danielle Ate the Sandwich I could’ve sworn there’d be more time Everything changes in the blink of an eye You’re saying hello, and waving goodbye And if only for a moment things are good and you’re doing alright I could’ve sworn you taught me to breathe Before you were here I was mess down at your feet I could’ve sworn you were just there ‘Cause when I’m reaching for my phone I’m still dialing your number dear I could’ve sworn when life began I was wrapped in a blanket looking up at your hands I could’ve sworn I thought it came free until my heart broke open and the room was empty Gathered together our heads were bowed We were all quiet when the father said aloud Nobody stays forever the same And if only for a moment we forgive what we never could change So I’m gonna take your hand I’m gonna lead you through this time So I’m gonna take your hand Because I need to hold it as much you need to hold mine (I’ll take, I’ll take your hand I’m gonna lead you through this)

Surrender 03:45
Surrender by Danielle Ate the Sandwich Ok, so a flower can still burst The petals sulk with the weight of their thirst Ok, for a moment things are still For a second while the wind catches it’s breath Even daylight needs a little rest When the moon comes out, it tucks itself to bed The highway lights are brighter in the dark The dotted beams of drivers in their cars The world is wild and restless The world is wild and restless The world is wild and restless The streetlights always lead you back home Ok, so the car ride’s finally over The pedals slow and we pull into the drive Ok so the front door was left opened And the warm light of surrender waits inside The world is wild and restless The world is wild and restless The world is wild and restless The streetlights always lead you back home The streetlights always lead you back home The streetlights always lead you back home

Patient, Kind by Danielle Ate the Sandwich Did I have regrets? Did I kiss you as often? Did I tell you I loved you? And was it enough? Did I take your hand? Did I show you the right way? When I let you go, was it enough? So the memories fade the faster I’ve been moving But the road remembers all the stories that you told Love is patient, Love is kind And it may be harder, the road will darker But I’ll show up each time Love is patient, Love is kind And it may be harder, the road will darker But I’ll show up each time Did I comb your hair? Did I lay the best dress out? Did I remember the prayer? And was it enough? Were the words we spoke, the ones you would’ve wanted? Well we gotta believe, it was enough Love is patient, Love is kind And it may be harder, the road will darker But I’ll show up each time Love is patient, Love is kind And it may be harder, the road will darker But I’ll show up each time And in the magic of this healing I let go of all this pain (let go of this pain) And it felt like make-believing For a moment I forgot what we became Love is patient, Love is kind Love is patient, Love is kind Love is patient, Love is kind Love is patient, Love is
