SPOONS
Written by Sheri Miller
Alone, that’s all I did know
Stretched across my bed
Solo, rogering my own
Ground control in my head
But my heart was taken by surprise
How good it feels lying with you tonight
You next to me
Me next to you
We’re perfectly in tune
Curled up in this room
I’m melting into you
We fit like spoons
Ooh
Guarded, so broken-hearted
I kept the world at bay
Soldier, no one could hold ya
I fought enemies in vain
Till I shed my defenses
Opened my heart
You climbed over fences
And loved me from the start
You next to me
Me next to you
We’re perfectly in tune
Curled up in this room
I’m melting into you
We fit like spoons
Ooh
I never thought I could get that close
To my better half that you compose
Babe I could wake up each morning
In your arms
You next to me
Me next to you
We’re perfectly in tune
Curled up in this room
I’m melting into you
We fit like spoons
Oooh
WINNING HAND
Written by Sheri Miller
Babe, you got a poker face
Got a flush in place
You keep it close to the vest
Bet you didn’t count on me
To break your winning streak
I’m your wild card in the deck
Bet you thought your cards were stacked
Queen of Hearts, Blackjack
Your game’s so good in this town
Bet you never found a girl like me
Who could love you, when you’re down
It’s time to take a chance
I’m an honest girl, a gamblin’ woman
So lay down your cards, I’ll lay down my defenses
Fall in love like wild hearts can
Bet we lay down a winning hand, a winning hand
Babe, I’ve seen all your tricks
Your cool hand, hot licks
It don’t impress me much
But what attracts me most
Is when your sweet side shows
Big heart, soft touch
Now, honey, that you met your match
It’s ok to show yourself
Everyone’s been burned before
Crawled thru hell on all fours
It’s time to take a chance
I’m an honest girl, a gamblin’ woman
So lay down your cards, I’ll lay down my defenses
Fall in love like wild hearts can
Bet we lay down a winning hand, a winning hand
Baby, we may lose it all
We may fold from one bad call
But honey, I would risk the fall
A billion to one, it’s crazy love
It’s time to take a chance
I’m an honest girl, a gamblin’ woman
So lay down your cards, I’ll lay down my defenses
Fall in love like wild hearts can
Bet we lay down a winning hand, a winning hand
Winning hand, a winning hand
SATELLITE
Written by Sheri Miller
Hallelujah, I think I’ve seen the light
I swear up in the sky, I saw a sign
Shooting star above the 405
I confess I wish on blinking planes
If it clears up all this mess, honey I got no shame
We need a miracle for us to be saved
I feel your distance
Your body’s resistance
We’re drifting stars in the sky
My arms could hold your body so tight
There’s too much space between us tonight
Darling, let me hold you like a satellite
Feel my love around you like a satellite
Drove to the ocean, sat by the sea
Santa Monica won’t give me no peace
Trouble’s in my mind and it won’t leave
Flock of seagulls circling the beach
I wonder do they mate, each one to each?
Fall in love and when one dies they grieve?
Oh, I wish that, we were seagulls
Lovebirds, flying as equals
We’re drifting stars in the sky
My arms could hold your body so tight
There’s too much space between us tonight
Let me hold you like a satellite
Feel my love around you like a satellite
Feel like we’ve been worlds apart
I’ve been hot as Venus, you’ve been cold as Mars
But there’s a force connects our distant hearts
It’s Love, Love, Love, Love
We’re drifting stars in the sky
My arms could hold your body so tight
There’s too much space between us tonight
Let me hold you like a satellite
Feel my love around you like a satellite
I’ll be your angel bathed in light
Shine around you like a satellite
Shine around you like a satellite
Satellite
EVERYBODY FEELS THIS WAY SOMETIMES
Written by Sheri Miller
Nighttime in the day
I live in darkness
Guess I’ll sleep it all away
Forget this world, it’s crazy heartless
Bear this weight alone
Don’t want to burden you
I’m afraid you might see
I’m nobody worth talking to
Then you’re on the phone
Saying “I love you, don’t you know”
Everybody Feels This Way Sometimes
You’re not alone, so have I
Everything, darling, passes by
I promise soon you’ll feel alright, alright
I’m so down, I’m underground, confidentially
Everything I love gets taken away from me
You say, “I was just like you
MIA
Isolated in my bedroom cave
I barely took the call, I was so ashamed
Then I’m on the phone
Hearing “I love you, don’t you know”
Everybody Feels This Way Sometimes
You’re not alone, so have I
Everything, darling, passes by
I promise soon you’ll feel alright, alright
Sometimes I’m weary
I could lay down and die
With my heavy heart, my worried mind
Then I hear your voice, maybe you’re right
I can’t see it now
You say you’ll love me anyhow
Everybody Feels This Way Sometimes
You’re not alone, so have I
Everything, darling, passes by
I promise soon you’ll feel alright, alright
Everybody Feels This Way Sometimes
You’re not alone, so have I
Everything, darling, passes by
I promise soon you’ll feel alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
HUNGRY FOR THE TRUTH
Written by Sheri Miller
Man, I’m scared of everything
But I’m most afraid to begin
I’ve had the world collapse on me
While it still had the nerve to spin
It’s so hard to believe anyone
I can barely trust my own blood
When you held me closely, your arms ‘round me
You pushed in my back the gun
But I’ve had enough
I’m hungry for the truth
Bite the hand that feeds
Starve if I have to
Keep my dignity
I’m hungry for the real
Learning to let go
I’m getting closer to my way home
The truth is not an easy road
But I will walk alone
I’m unclear if I’m still in love
I don’t think I ever was
When kisses become a movement of lips
And stars are just pieces of dust
You sent me a sign, a bird in the sky, I looked closer
It was a plane
There’s a thin line between staying for love or fear of change
But don’t mistake
I’m hungry for the truth
Bite the hand that feeds
Starve if I have to
Keep my dignity
I’m hungry for the real
Learning to let go
I’m getting closer to my way home
The truth is not an easy road
But I will walk alone
I once was a girl who sold her own sister
I once was a child whose mother betrayed her
I once felt my angel touch me with light
Whispering “you are not alone tonight”
I’m hungry for the truth
Bite the hand that feeds
Starve if I have to
Keep my dignity
I’m hungry for the real
Learning to let go
I’m getting closer to my way home
The truth is not an easy road
But I will walk alone
I will walk alone
I will walk alone
I will walk alone
WASTE MY BREATH
Written by Sheri Miller
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Pocket full of gypsy seeds
You said you never smoked that weed
Oh, you lied
You said you lost your family
Somewhere in 1993
Oh, till money’s wired
You said she was a photograph
Some apparition from your past
Until I heard her voice at last, on the line a nervous laugh
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes
Oh, Oh
You said you never finished school
But the letterhead says NYU
Oh, alumni
You say the Godfather makes you weep
A brutal world where no one sleeps
But I’ve never seen you cry
You kiss me deep you pull me in
Your crazy eyes a sparklin’
And I just wonder if this is when
You think of her last night again
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes,
I won’t waste my breath
I keep driving through red traffic lights
Cuz when you’re in love you believe every lie
And I don’t want a man to keep me up all night
When she’s the one being satisfied
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes
If you’re still wasting her time
Darling, please don’t waste mine
And I won’t waste my breath on goodbyes
I won’t waste my breath
I won’t waste my breath
I won’t waste my breath
Goodbye
MANTRA (I’M IN LOVE)
Written by Sheri Miller
Love, I’m taking you down
Flipping your frame on its back
Killing the poses and bragging smiles of a photograph
I may miss you with a vengeance
But I won’t conjure regret
You’re a patient fixture
And I thank you for that but your loyalty has bored me to death
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
Gonna say it like a mantra
Until I believe
Unless I was never in love, unless I was never in love
We’re dying such a slow death
I grieve for you when we kiss
I catch myself when I speak of us, using the was, never the is
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
Gonna say it like a mantra
Until I believe
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
Gonna say it like a mantra
Until it’s like it used to be
Unless I was never in love, unless I was never in love
I wanted you so bad, I wanted you more than anything
I wanted you so bad, I wanted you more than anything
I wanted you so bad, I wanted you more than anything
To be the one, to be the one
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love
Gonna say it like a mantra
Until I believe
Oh, I’m in love, I’m in love, I’m in love,
Gonna say it like a mantra
Until it’s like it used to be
Unless I was never in love, unless I was never in love
Unless I was never in love, unless I was never in love
DEVIL IN WHITE
Written by Sheri Miller
Gonna tell you a little story
About heaven above and hell below
About an angel on my shoulder dressed in a long black coat
He said “Girl you got wings you can’t even see”
I said “Angel, wrap your cord of silver light around me”
He said
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, who, yes it’s you
So I want walkin’ in the desert
‘Till a devil dressed in white
Said “Poor sweetheart if you want to
I’ll show you how to fly”
And I said “Devil I’ll just keep on walkin’
Don’t you know I can see right through your disguise”
I said
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, who, yes it’s you
There was no one to save me, when he tried to take me
With a silver knife on a chain
But my arms they flew open
And my wings threw a golden light
Carried me away
I knew
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, who
There’s an Angel on your shoulder, Devil dressed in white
An Angel on your shoulder, Devil dressed in white
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, yes it’s you
Whoo baby, whoo baby, who, yes it’s you
ALL HE HAS TO DO
Written by Sheri Miller
All he has to do is look at me
And I can’t do anything at all
All he has to do is smile for me
I have everything I want
I don’t know too much
I don’t know too much
About love
But I know enough to know
He’s all I need
All he has to do is touch me
I’m burning in the sun
All he has to do is talk to me
I’m inspired for days to come
I don’t know too much
I don’t know too much
About love
But I know enough to know
He’s all I need
Solo
I don’t know too much
I don’t know too much
About love
But I know enough to know
He’s all I need
All he has to do is look at me
And I can’t do anything at all
RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
Written by Sheri Miller
Right here, right now
I promise to love you to the depths of my heart
Right here, right now
I will have you and hold you, darling, in these arms
Time will pass, and the world will change
In sickness and in health, youth and old age
I’ll stay
Right here, right now
You’re where I’m meant to be
My dear, I vow
I will never forsake you for as long as I live
It’s clear, no doubt
Honey, all that’s mine will be yours to give
For rich or for poor, good times and bad
I swear I’ll love you more than anyone can
I’ll stand
Right here, right now
You’re where I’m meant to be
Solo
Right here, right now
I promise to walk in the light of truth
Right here, right now
I will honor these vows as sacred unto you
Forever and ever
Till death do us part
When we’ll cross over
Where the light meets the dark
As stars
But right here, right now
You’re where I’m meant to be
Right here, right now
You’re where I’m meant to be
THE BLADE
Written by Sheri Miller
Oh, I’ve grown weary of this pain
That’s eating me alive
Oh, I’m a solitary soul that needs a little light
All of my life I wanted to be saved
Oh, but now I understand
We gotta pave our own way
There’s a child that hides her secret pain
Buried in her eyes
You can see the blade
Sometimes I just wanna say
You’re not the only one in the world
Everyone hurts, everyone hurts
You’re not the only one in the world
Everyone burns, everyone burns
You’re not the only one in the world
I will comfort you, darling thru your darkest times
Oh, sometimes I wear a smile to hide my deepest scars
Oh, sometimes I can’t admit that I believe in God
I feel like I’m standing in a crowded room
With all eyes on me staring at the accused
And I tell myself “Hang on to the truth”
You’re not the only one in the world
Everyone hurts, everyone hurts
You’re not the only one in the world
Everyone burns, everyone burns
You’re not the only one in the world
I will comfort you, darling thru your darkest times
Oh, you’ve grown weary of this pain
That’s eating you alive
Oh, You’re a solitary soul that needs a little light
You’re not the only one in the world
Everyone hurts, everyone hurts
You’re not the only one in the world
Everyone burns, everyone burns
You’re not the only one in the world
I will comfort you, darling thru your darkest times
