lyrics

Yes

Walking through a world
full of ordinary people

Chancing to find under a rock
a stranger who changes everything

With one word, I'd find
an uncommon mind

Hope flew, up like a bird
but be careful, because the word was

Yes
the word was
yes
the word was
yes
but be careful, because the word becomes
goodbye

Cursing, an Earth's worth of gods
incomplete and undecided

Raining, hope down in shards
on this one shattered woman's visions

Sick, I'm sick and needing a guide
through these treacherous waters

Then I met one. But he likes to hide
and repeal his offered hand inch-by-inch

Yes
the word was yes
but the word became
goodbye

The word was yes, but he forgot hello
the word was yes, but it came out like no
the word was yes, but it came out like some other time
the word was yes, but it came out like goodbye

Caroline Savery Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

bold and bitter like Fiona Apple,
snarky yet cheeky like Nellie McKay,
moving and loving like Be Good Tanyas,
swinging and swooning like Eilen Jewell.

I'm all about exploring the genres that I love and that influence me.
