Can I Get to You- ©2019 Sonya Heller Music-ASCAP
Starts with Chorus
Can I get to you oh
Can I get to you
No one else gonna sing my song
like you do No one else gonna sing my song
Verse
Dashing like a shadow thru the corner of my eye
the dreams have been elusive
chasin' from behind
Looking for someone I don’t even know
not in this life anyway
so the story goes
But I know we’re meant to be
I receive the signs
When I open up my eyes
Symbols point to
the meeting place
beyond illusion
time and space
Prechorus
there’s no sense
no rhyme
feel you on the pillow
right beside me
You’re my true
déjà vu
I cannot explain just
what I’m feeling
You’re my true
deja vu
Chorus
Can I get to you oh
Can I get to you
No one else gonna sing my song
like you do No one else gonna sing my song
Verse
Time is of the essence
Don’t want no regrets
the muses move on quickly
when the callings are not met
the air remains electric
dancing on my skin
The windows open
gonna let you in
Prechorus
there’s no sense
no rhyme
feel you on the pillow
right beside me
You’re my true
déjà vu
Chorus
Can I get to you oh
Can I get to you
No one else gonna sing my song
like you do
No one else gonna sing my song

Ephraim
the hit
man had a tic
he always bit
his lip
when he did
a hit
An angry ant
hired Ephraim
the hit
man to kill
a local anteater
who was causing trouble
So Ephraim
the hit
man bit
his lip
and killed
the anteater
and then hid
under a lid
in a rubbish bin
A cop threw something away
and said, “Hey
that’s Ephraim the hit man”
and arrested him
“How did
you know it
was me?”
he
asked
The cop replied:
“you’re got an indentation
on your lower lip
and now you are nicked

We’ve all, been here, before 2x …krappe…
And it never ends well, … … ...
We have all, been here before (2x) …and it never ends well…awe krappe
We have all been here, (before 1st x) (2x) …ohhhh krappe
Dignity…, and politics, of re – sentment
Turns red, then white then blue
[SPEEK]
“That’s what happens when you suck all the air out of the phuch’en room”
A generation of easy does it
Has caused children..., of just can't do eww eww ewwww
To always be safe, and never life changed
Does this cause swinging fights, and no hits light
What will happen when their safety net there
Becomes barbed the wire…, they wear
The once Liberal now Right
And Rigid the Resistance
And the scarlet red moral, socials...list (And they list and the list and they list and they list)
Baits the trap..., for can't stand this
So portend your dignity...
Your politic of resentment…
We have all, been there, before...
And it never ends… … …
We have all, been here, before 3x …awe…krappe… … …

unmade empty beds
messages left unread
words stuck in their heads
words that they once said
lifeless empty souls
spirits no longer whole
dreams lost in the cold
dreams that once were bold
C
time torments
old lovers
who long for
old times
long gone by
time torments
old lovers
longing for
old times
long gone by
time torments
lost lovers
who long for
lost time
for lost time
V2
broken empty hearts
love songs that can’t start
songs left in the dark
songs that once lit sparks
lifeless empty souls
spirits no longer whole
dreams lost in the cold
dreams that once were bold

It was love at first sight
I’d never seen anything like
Your jungle roads and twisting trees
The smell of cashews strong and sweet
The open hearts, the open doors
The open sky and sea
The coconuts, the rubber trees
Those spirals in the sand
Your moonlight shinin’ mystery
Your music in my head
And all these things, they made me say
“I’m stayin’ one more day”
‘Cause you taught me how to love
Like the open sky above
And you taught me how to be
You little island in the sea
And you showed me who I am
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam
I came back first of August
The middle of the rainy days
With dreams of simple living,
The perfect love, and easy ways
But you had other plans for me
As I was soon to see
Spiders big as pancakes
And roaches that can fly
Washin’ all my clothes by hand
Three days for them to dry
And there’s mold in my pillow
It’s chokin’ me at night
It’s shower time, the water stops
There’s shampoo in my hair
A wasp has built a nest of mud
In my underwear
My nail bed is infected
But do you even care?
Well, I didn’t have a clue
What you were about to do
You shook me up and took me down
To the place where truth is found
I tried to take things day by day
Learnin’ all new tasks
‘Til that no-name dog that had three names
Whose face was like a mask
Stole our dinner, broke our plates
And I broke down at last
And then there were the nights
When the storms came rushin’ in
When we had our first fight
I felt the world was cavin’ in
So sure I was right, but did I
Lose or did I win?
Well, you taught me to let go
Of the things I can’t control
And you taught me what was right
How to stand without a fight
And you showed me who I am
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam
‘Cause, you taught me how to love
Like the open sky above
And you taught me how to be
You little island in the sea
And you showed me who I am
Oh-oh-oh, Phayam, Phayam..

So long
I've been searching
for my guts to come
and I've been running
from myself
from the mirror on my horizon
So long
I've been searching
for my guts to come
now I come running
to myself
and face the mirror
on my horizon
