Anchor
Written by Lauren Kuhne
Verse 1:
There’s every little reason I should go, you know
There’s every little reason you should stay, huh babe?
All the logic in the world has gone
Because my heart is just not done
Because my heart is just not done
Verse 2:
Some other people want to be with me
Hell maybe they would treat me decently
So please reject me a thousand times
Because my heart is just not done
And logic doesn’t sing you songs
Chorus:
You push away, but I’m not going anywhere
I’m here to stay, cause my heart knows better
So float away through all kinds of weather
Below the waves, I’ll be your anchor
Your anchor, your anchor, your anchor
Verse 3:
So maybe I have given everything
And maybe you will give me nothing
I’ll be here every time you decide to run
Because my heart is just not done
And logic doesn’t sing you songs
Chorus
Bridge:
Don’t wanna tie you down, just keep you safe and sound
Don’t wanna weigh you down, just know I’ll be around
(Instrumental)
Chorus

September Rain
Written by Lauren Kuhne
Verse 1:
Somewhere along this summer road
I’d forgotten how to hold
Somewhere along this winding sea
I think I dropped a part of me
Pre-chorus:
Before you told me I didn’t even know
That I had become so hollow
And even after everything you tried
I’m still hollow in your arms
Chorus x2:
Oh something has to change
And finally give way
To find a little break
In the cold September Rain
Verse 2:
Something has got ahold of me
And my mind struggles to be free
And though a piece of me is gone
I know that you’ll still hold on
My love, I owed you a thousand songs
Chorus x2

Drive You Home
Music & Lyrics by Lauren Kuhne
V1:
We were castaways, never knowing if we’d ever fit in
We liked the stranger things, always following the signs
When our worlds collide, we can finally see eye to eye
Pre-Chorus 1:
But you’re not sure this time, darling open your eyes
Chorus:
I’ll drive you home, to a place that you’ve/we’ve never known
To a place without any walls
To a place where love has no bounds
Know you’ll never be alone
I’ll drive you home
V2:
I’ll drive you mad, drive you crazy, drive you insane
Drive you away when there’s no one else to blame
Pick you up when you’re all done pretending it’s wrong
Soon enough you’ll see I was there all along
Pre-Chorus 2:
And what you’ll come to see, is that there’s no getting rid of me
Chorus
Bridge:
Bright eyes, turn around
What’s lost can be found x2
Chorus

Erased
Music & Lyrics Co-Written by Kiki Nix & Lauren Kuhne - 2018
V1
Wanted to see a smile on your face
Never worth the fight
So I do everything right
How much longer can I hold the weight
Giving into your pride
Hide my truth inside
Pre
And what am I supposed to say
When you make me feel this way
Lost in an avalanche I’m screaming out
But no one knows my name
And it’s been a while
Since I opened up my eyes
Time to take back the power that I gave
Chorus
Cause I’m not erased, no
I won’t be erased, no
Cause I’m not erased, no
I won’t be erased, no
V2
With every word that rolled off your tongue
I’m broken and numb
You always won
Didn’t realize that I’d concede
To your every need
Sacrificing me
Chorus
Inst
Bridge
Cause I’m not erased, won’t be erased
By your stupid little games
Cause I’m not erased, no I won’t fade
And you’ll never forget my name
Chorus

Anchor Part II
Written by Lauren Kuhne
Verse 1:
So here we are, with broken hearts
And it’s all my fault
So here we are, with brand new scars
But I know we’re done
(Instrumental line x2)
Chorus:
I just tried to keep us steady
I didn’t realize over time
Being your anchor would bury me x2
You buried me x2
Verse 2:
With every try, we think it’s right
We stay cause we should
But everything is subject to change
I loved you the best I could
(Instrumental line x2)
Chorus:
I just tried to keep us steady
I didn’t realize over time
That your ship was sinking
I just tried to keep us steady
I didn’t realize over time
Being your anchor would bury me
You bury me x4

Town Called Lovely
Music & Lyrics by Lauren Kuhne
V1:
I've been dreaming of a town called Lovely
Where the cars are outdated
But there’s hardly a need
And I've been dreaming of a town called Lovely
Where the wheat fields are glowing
And the wind chimes love to sing
Pre-chorus:
Every night by candlelight
The men smoke sweet cigars
Their hands are worn, but their talk is warm
And the women steal their hearts
Chorus:
They gather on front porches
And talk across the street
Everyone's acquainted
And there's no one left to meet
V2:
I've been dreaming of a town called Lovely
Where the clocks are all broken
And the dogs run unleashed
I've been dreaming of a town called Lovely
Where they labor and toil
But they're building their dreams
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
It's a perfect town
But the people know they're anything but
Everyone shares the blame
And they love just the same
Their hearts are woven together
Through a belief that doesn't change
Oh it never fades
--- solo ---
Every night by candlelight
I'll keep dreaming, keep on dreaming, keep on dreaming
Of a town I know is home x4

Dawnsong Lyrics
Written by Lauren Kuhne
Verse 1:
Even if my wings are broken now
I still got two hands so I’ll climb, I’ll climb
To the top of the world but it’s really just round
And I’ve got two legs so I’ll run like hell
Verse 2:
Even if the wind is taken from my sails
I still have an oar, I’ll paddle to shore
When I’m lost and the signs have run out
I’ll keep walking through it all
Chorus:
I’m singing for the dawn
I can feel it in the dark
I believe it in my heart
I’m singing for the dawn
To find my way back home
I can feel it in my soul
I can feel it in my bones
Verse 3:
Even if dawn has no break in sight
I’ll be that songbird I’ll sing through the night
When the darkness has swallowed me whole
I still got a heart and it’s beating through my soul
Chorus
(Instrumental)
Outro:
Even if dawn has no break in sight
I’ll be that songbird I’ll sing through the night
