WAVES 03:42
the waves come crashing down and make it hard to breathe but I'm used to this by now from swimmin' this big sea takes all the strength I've got to stay afloat but I don't mind cause it's my choice, it is my choice how to spend my time CHORUS cause I'm an undercurrent baby I could take you down I make my own path I make my own waves I make my own sounds ain't no one gonna tell me how to spend my time cause I spent too many years on the shore watchin' it float by it's time to get up get on get out and make some waves ain't no better time ain't no better place than today CHORUS

she gave me a could shoulder then put some ice in my drink now i'm left here freezing cold and my lips have turned blue and all i can think about is you how i left you by the dock that day and you asked if i had any words to say and i left you freezing cold ice upon the lake and i think i know now what to say CHORUS cause isn't it funny when you find yourself in the same situation you were left in it seems that the world is laughin' at you sometimes paybacks' a bitch though you tried so hard you tried so hard to forget it she always said she never would be anything like you cause you tore her heart apart yeah you left her for dead now look what she did do cause there's a man on the ground and he's screamin' out her name and there's blood all around and everybody knows this game CHORUS i'm ready now now to melt now i'm ready now to melt now
3.
Move Me 03:24
music doesn't move me the way it used to and i can't sleep the same way either too much on my mind or too much to do not enough time or too much to prove CHORUS but i still try i still try to move you want something to hit me like the hammer to the nail want someone to move me set wind to my sails cause i've been swimmin and drownin' in this great big ocean just tryin' to find some sort of inspiration CHORUS music doesn't move me the way it used to and i can't sleep the same way
4.
Set Me Free 03:21
one two three four five if you are alive won't you listen to me if you can count to ten you can begin again but don't you think it'll be that easy cause i used to be the kind that would waste all my time on silly petty things like him now i am the one who's life has just begun and his just came to an end CHORUS cause i am the girl he wants in his world it's too late now can't you see cause i was the girl in his world he lost his chance and set me free so won't you just let it be well i must admit we had a good go at it but some things just aren't meant to be cause lookin' back now it all seems clear somehow he never really cared for me cause he used to be the kind that would waste all his time on words to bring me down now i am the one who's life has just begun and his it turned upside down CHORUS
5.
Not Alone 03:02
eyes closed lips soft you know what's next you move towards me and i try my best to stay as calm as i can be with your eyes and your hands all up on me, all up on me i'm not the type to get all worked up but i think you might just have enough of what i know i know i need so come on, come on won't you give it to me baby won't you give it to me baby the moon she moves around us now as we slowly start to come down from the highest heights i think i've ever known just let me know let me know let me know i'm not alone
6.
Another Time 03:22
it was another time time time in another life life life you try with all your might might might to get it out your mind cause all you did was cry cry cry and fight fight fight and say that you're fine fine fine but you're thinkin' in your mind CHORUS that no one knows what you're thinking and no one seems to care but someone out there is feeling like this somewhere now all you seem to do do do is try to prove prove prove that you you you have become someone new and every single day day day you try to say say say in some sort of way way way that you're okay CHORUS so now the time is here to let go of your fears to dry your tears and start thinkin' clear
7.
you got me walkin in circles you got me walkin in squares you got me walkin backwards you got me everywhere you got me singin songs for you you got me sayin those words you got me anywhere you want girl CHORUS anywhere you want anywhere you want anywhere you want anywhere you want before you came along i was just a girl with a gypsy heart and a ramblin' soul wanderin round this world but you stopped me on the tracks mmm you took me in now i'm walkin round in circles and i quit my ramblin CHORUS anything you want anything you want anything you want anything you want
8.
lie awake and think about things i should have said a thousand words for me to choose but i chose nothin' instead you stood there as i looked away could not look in your eyes cause i knew what you needed me to say but i can't tell no lies CHORUS cause when love dies you just know there's no where to hide there's no where to go some choose to leave some choose to stay and i'm not one to stick around when love goes away so you can put it all on me i will take the blame but i won't be around to hear you curse my name CHORUS
9.
Scandal 05:02
don't wanna think about it don't wanna think about it don't wanna think about ya now i'll forget about it gonna forget about ya but still somehow when you come around when you come around i lose my head and i forget that i was gonna forget about ya i think about ya instead you've got this way with me you've got this way with her you've got this way with them that when you come around everybody knows what's about to begin CHORUS but i'm not gonna let you stick me in your pocket i'm not gonna be your baby doll when you come around it's gonna be you up agains the wall up against the wall don't wanna hear about it don't wanna hear ya now don't wanna hear your voice cause every word that comes out your lyin mouth leaves me with no choice and you expect me to get on my knees for you and give it all but when you come around it's gonna be you up against the wall

about

".."Waves" is marked by a number of lyrical declarations of independence, yet these statements are born of a healthy musical dependence. There's a terrific give-and-take between Vonder Haar and her bandmates; it's most notably heard in overlapping, entangled vocals but is manifested in the record's instrumental presence and power, as well. "Waves" is an album that invites repeated listens to find and appreciate all the puzzle pieces and moving parts that come together in a lively whole..." -Columbia Daily Tribune

about

Violet Vonder Haar Columbia, Missouri

"As a songwriter, she long has worn the troubadour’s clothes, writing melodies that wander — in and out of folk, jazz and pop influences, and from accessibility to something a little more esoteric." -Columbia Daily Tribune
