Great (or Happy)

Papa
Lifted up a home
Gave it walls and doors for us to run around
Mama
Spun it into gold
Built a warming fire to feed our growing bones
And oh, how easy it all seems
Now that we can fly, we forget how much they dreamed
And I know, and I know, and I know
They didn't have a map, but they had a plan
But now I'm wondering
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Tell me what's the right way to go
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Or do you think, don't you think
Think that I can be both
Papa
Acts like he's still young
Hands and knees are cracking but he's still moving tons
Mama
Questions all the years
Latches on so tightly, afraid I'll disappear
And oh, how scary it all seems
Now that they are older, our days are numbering
And I know, and I know, and I know
They carried so much weight so that I could win
All for me to think
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Tell me what's the right way to go
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Or do you think, don't you think
Think that I can be both
Maybe what they want is to give me hope
If one doesn't pan out the other's good enough
Maybe what I want is to hold them close
And know what I decide doesn't need to compromise
Oh
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Tell me what's the right way to go
Am I supposed to be great
or happy?
Or do you think, don't you think
Think that I can be both

Heart is a Fire

You've already left and I'm tangled up in bed
Hearing your voice in my head, still swimming in your scent
Oh well I can't believe my eyes
How I was riding on your highs
Just to crash land when you've gone and gotten bored of me
Wondering do I suffocate?
Am I just not worth the chase?
Playing back what happened to us in a million ways
But oh, this heart of mine is a fire that you won't ever blow out
And oh, it's decided if you don't want my time, then this heart of mine moves on
I'm all that I felt but it's time to move on
No use in chasing a dream when you're sleeping around
So well I won't apologize
that I wanted you for mine
If you'd like to downsize pick another heart to break
Cuz I'm a royal suite with a view
Comes with continental breakfast too
If you'd like another room well that's fine with me
'Cause oh, this heart of mine is a fire that you won't ever blow out
And oh, it's decided if you don't want my time, then this heart of mine moves on
Well all is fair in love and games
You grow from the good and you learn from the pain
And maybe you did me a favor after all
By playing with hearts, well mine'll kickstart
And you'll make a mess out of yours
And oh, this heart of mine is a fire that you won't ever blow out
And oh, it's decided if you don't want my time, then this heart of mine moves on
