Better Than I Know Myself

Written by Jilian Linklater and Sandra Lawrence

You touch my skin but I can feel it in my bones

You’re looking in my eyes but walking through my soul

Like you already knew me, like I’m your favorite movie

 

You kiss the words right from my mouth and leave my speechless

Can’t help but laugh thinking I cannot believe this

I can’t believe this

 

You know me better than I know myself

You know me better than anybody else

And it’s crazy, it’s crazy to me

How you see all of me

And you still love me

 

I say the strangest things you seem to understand it

Anyone else would think I’m from another planet

They’d say look at her flown in from Jupiter

 

But not you not you no not you

You pave the way for every crazy thing I do

 

You know me better than I know myself

You know me better than anybody else

And it’s crazy, it’s crazy to me

How you see all of me

And you still love me

 

You tell me you don’t want a cookie cutter plain jane

Perfect really isn’t perfect don’t you ever change

Oh you make me feel so beautiful

 

You know me better than I know myself

You know me better than anybody else

And it’s crazy, it’s crazy to me

How you see all of me

And you still love me

Fighter

Written by Jilian Linklater

There’s this road you never saw yourself going down

A dark place you swore you’d never be found

And when you got there didn’t know how you got there

Thinking it’d be easier to disappear

 

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

There’s gotta be a fi fi fire

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

There’s gotta be a fi fi fire

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

 

It’s the battle scars that make us who we are

The black holes are the reason that we’ve come so far

If you think you’re not tough enough

And you’re feeling like your hands are cuffed

It’d be easy to give up

Are you gonna give up?

 

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

There’s gotta be a fi fi fire

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

There’s gotta be a fi fi fire

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

A fight fight fighter

 

Ooh Ooh Ooh

 

Do you wanna be a fight fight fighter

 

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

There’s gotta be a fi fi fire

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

There’s gotta be a fi fi fire

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

There’s gotta be a wall to break down

If you wanna be a fight fight fighter

A fight fight fighter

Darlin’ you’re fight fight fighter

Magnet

Written by Jilian Linklater

It’s getting late

I could be going but I stay

Close to you but still too far away

I’ve never felt so safe

 

And as I try to leave

Something’s holding onto me

Our fingertips they start to touch

And I want you so much

 

Your love is like a magnet

And I don’t want to resist it

What’s the point in acting like I don’t feel it

 

I’ve felt love before

It always left me wanting so much more

Now all I’ll ever need

Is holding onto me

 

‘Cause your love is like a magnet

And I don’t want to resist it

What’s the point in acting like I don’t feel it

 

‘Cause love is like a magnet

And I don’t want to resist it

What’s the point in acting like I don’t feel it

 

Baby I don’t wanna be anywhere but caught up in you

Baby I don’t wanna be anywhere but right beside you

Baby I don’t wanna be anywhere but caught up in you

Baby I can’t be anywhere but here

 

Your love is like a magnet

And I don’t want to resist it

What’s the point in acting like I don’t feel it

 

Baby I don’t wanna be anywhere but caught up in you

Baby I don’t wanna be anywhere but right beside you

Baby I don’t wanna be anywhere but caught up in you

Baby I can’t be anywhere but here

 

‘Cause your love is like a magnet

And I don’t want to resist it

What’s the point in acting like I don’t feel it

Everybody Knows

Written by Jilian Linklater

Jenny told the woman at the grocery store

She heard it from behind her mother's bedroom door

No telling how fast the news will go

Now everybody knows what they already know

 

 Whispers of how she just couldn’t wait

Fall silent to the floor as she walks their way

Left handed ring lets the truth be told

Now everybody knows what they already know

 

She’ll be wearing white on her wedding day

With her mommas pearls and daddy’s shame

No point in hiding what she starts to show

Now everybody knows what they already know

Walking Stories

Written by Jilian Linklater

On a curbside in Chicago sits a warn out cardboard sign

And a man who’s hope was hard to find

Until a woman with nine dollars to her name

Dropped a coin into that old man’s cup of change

 

We’re all walking stories another page to turn

A paperback expression of a life worth being told

Every step we take another scribble on the page

We’re all walking stories, what’s your's gonna say

 

There was a time when black and white couldn’t live side by side

And skin was the only color you would see

But that all changed the day one woman wouldn’t give up her seat

And Martin Luther shouted out “I have a dream”

 

We’re all walking stories another page to turn

A paperback expression of a life worth being told

Every step we take another scribble on the page

We’re all walking stories, what’s your's gonna say

 

There was a man back before me and you

Who put his life upon a tree

And bleed the blood that washed all us sinners clean

And gave forgiveness to all humanity

 

We’re all walking stories another page to turn

A paperback expression of a life worth being told

Every step we take another scribble on the page

We’re all walking stories, what’s your's gonna say
