In your heart sometimes
Painted underneath the sheets of ashy snow
And there's a blue like where the urban angels go, very bright

So I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest

Mysterious and dark

And now she's looking for a downtown man

Take hold of your destiny

And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Sidewalks of New York - Hildegarde with Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians

Tripped the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York

Loose Lips - Kimya Dawson

Call me up before you’re dead, we can make some plans instead

And ask you what you think because your thoughts and words are powerful

All you'll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind

Spinning through space
Your garden, your harbor
Your holy place

Brighter Than the Sun - Colbie Caillat

I swear you hit me like a vision

But who am I to tell fate where it's supposed to go
. . .
Oh, this is how it starts, lightning strikes the heart
It goes off like a gun, brighter than the sun

I'm not afraid of the distance
Some time on my side
Hear me singing my song
California here I come

When you color outside of the lines
