White, is this ghost of you,
Though I know you’re gone, You just walk right through.
Heart, is it much too soon?
There’s a space I saved, To hold on to you.
I feel like I’m a bird in a cage,
But I don’t want to fly away,
I just wanna stay locked.
I could be a boat in a storm,
But I don’t want to go back home,
I just wanna stay lost with you.
Take all my silver tears,
They could fill a glass, I’ll get drunk on you.
And fall asleep, In this empty room,
Where there’s no one here, But I still feel you.
I feel like I’m a bird in a cage,
But I don’t want to fly away,
I just wanna stay locked.
I could be a boat in a storm,
But I don’t want to go back home,
I just wanna stay lost with you.
Everybody says to let go of you,
But they don’t know what you were like,
I think that if I stay in this state of mind,
I’ll never really have to say goodbye…
I feel like I’m a bird in a cage,
But I don’t want to fly away,
I just wanna stay locked.
I could be a boat in a storm,
But I don’t want to go back home,
I just wanna stay lost with you.

"I'm staggered by how good she is. I can honestly say she's the most exciting thing I've heard in a long
time."
– Bernie Taupin, Elton John's cowriter
"I've never seen an unknown performer with more power as when I saw Ariana performing at a music convention – I couldn't stop talking about her. The last performer I felt this way about was Bruce Springsteen"
– Dave Marsh, Rolling Stone Magazine...more
The whole album is awesome. But I gravitated first toward "Portland". Then "Wildwood Flower" because I'm familiar the 10,000 Maniacs cover. Very different; AVK's is very contemplative. Jameson Calantoc
