lyrics

I never put my hair back even when the wind blows it in my face
I never stop going even if I don’t know if I’m going the right way, oh
I never stop looking, I never stop cooking up crazy ideas

I always give up my whole heart on the very first hello
I always leap recklessly, never look out for what’s below, oh
I always feel hurried, I always feel worried I’m running out of crazy ideas

But sometimes I wish I could step out of my skin
Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in
Stay in one place for a minute,
Let myself just live in it,
Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround
Let myself be found

I met you in the summertime and I could barely find words to say
You were like wind and you blew out my fire in just the right way, oh
You made me nervous, took all my courage and my crazy ideas

I started to stop and look at all I hadn’t seen
I started to notice the blues, the purple, red, and green, oh
You saw me clearly, loved me so fiercely and gave me your crazy ideas

Maybe it’s time now to step out of my skin
Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in
Stay in one place for a minute,
Let myself just live in it,
Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround,
Let myself be found

There’s a road that I was traveling that was bound to end somewhere
Wasn’t easy to drive with the sun in my eyes and the wind in my hair
I was tired of racing and tired of chasing some old, weathered dream
I was running out of steam

Feels like I’m ready to step out of my skin
Let the fire burn out, let a new kind of light in
Stay in one place for a minute,
Let myself just live in it,
Stay silent and sober until I get over the runaround,
Let myself be found

The Gender Gnomes Brooklyn, New York

We're The Gender Gnomes.

We're your friendly neighborhood Brooklyn-based indie-folk- jazz-pop duo. Separately, we are Rachel, singer of songs and player of flutes, and Pat, player of guitars and basses and mandolins and saxophones and trumpets and...a bunch of stuff. Together, we're songwriters and home-recorders and avid music lovers. We love a good lyric and we're suckers for a jaunty beat. ... more
