Two Hearts
Words and Music by Christina Martin
Where do we go from here
I just don’t know my dear
How did we get to this
It ain’t the tears I miss
Yea I know
Your feet are sore (I know- backing vocals))
My heart is full (I know)
Skip to the beat (I know)
I wanna be everywhere
where this love ends I’m there
Then it begins again
We can’t control this spin
Yea I know
Your turning heads (I know)
My tongue is tied (I know)
It’s held up inside (I know)
Chorus
This kiss is long and hard
I do not know what I’m doing
I still believe in two hearts
Beating for the same things.
Why do we try again?
We spread this love so thin
And in the end I think
There is no end to this
So it goes
Then we make up (I know)
I’m making noise (I know)
We’ll never know (I know)

Temporary Hell
Words and Music by Christina Martin
V1
Baby what’s the story
I’m getting mad
My hands are ringing over you
You’re not quick to show me
My own sweet fate
And I am hardly one to wait
Maybe if I stay I’ll be glad
Someday I’ll be glad
Show me what its worth
Chorus
I think that if I close my eyes I’ll see
A little piece of Heaven in the yard
And maybe if I’m good I will survive
This little temporary hell of mine
V2
So I’m making changes
To my sweet fate
My age pays faster than it does to wait
If you don’t like it
Then you should go
Cause it’s just much too late
Maybe if I say you’ll hate me
Maybe you’ll just go
But you already know
Chorus

You Come Home
Words and Music by Christina Martin
It’s not fair
You Go I stay
So you better be back some day
When the whistle blows you come home
Meantime I’ll try
Not to cry
So you better bring me a gift
And it better be nice and big
Daddy Maybe
I’ll see
Why you had to go but you can’t see
Why she had to leave you alone
Did time for a crime
When it all went down you weren’t around
So we tried to get by
And we got by
It’s not fair
You Go I stay
So you better be back some day
When the whistle blows you come home
Meantime I’ll try
Not to cry
So you better bring me a gift
And it better be nice and big

The Bike Song
Words and Music by Christina Martin
It’s funny how it goes
The days can feel so bright
And everything’s alright
And then you ride by on your bike
With her riding behind you
And then I saw you smile
And I remember how
I haven’t got to ride my bike
Behind you for awhile
Chorus
I know that this is coming to an end
the things that seem to come between two friends
They always seem to pain and
We will never be the same
I know oh oh
It’s funny how it goes
The days can feel just fine
And everything was great
Why did you ride by on your bike
With her riding behind you
Cause when I saw you smile
Then I remembered how
I really want to ride my bike
Behind you for awhile
Chorus
Its funny how it goes
The days can feel so bright
And everything was fine
why did you ride by on your bike
with her riding behind you

CUT IT OUT
Words and Music by Christina Martin
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
IF I HAD TO LEAVE TODAY
WE ARE PEOPLE WITH A PLAN
BUT WE WANT TO HOLD A HAND
SO WE CUT OURSELVES INSTEAD
HOW DO WE GLUE
ALL THE PARTS I CUT IN TWO
LET ME TAKE THE TIME TO FIND
A LITTLE CLEARING IN MY MIND
SO THAT I CAN BE WITH YOU
CHORUS
I JUST WANT TO HOLD YOU IN THE NIGHT
WRAP MY ARMS AROUND AND HOLD ON TIGHT
YOU DON’T WANNA BE INSIDE MY HEAD
WHAT WOULD YOU DO
IF I TURNED THIS ALL to YOU
WOULD YOU SAY THE THINGS TO ME
THAT WOULD MAKE ME FEEL COMPLETE
WOULD YOU EVER FEEL This NEED
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
IF I TURNED AND I RAN AWAY
WE ARE PEOPLE WITH A PLAN
BUT WE HAVE TO MAKE MISTAKES
THEN TO LEARN FROM THOSE MISTAKES

GUARD YOUR HEART
MUSIC AND LYRICS BY CHRISTINA MARTIN
Two shots of tequila
I just want to be with you
Drink until the feelings are
All sorted through
Why do we have to
Play the part of the broken heart
This is a new day
We can end it like we started it
Chorus:
Fast and Hard
I just want to be with you
Guard your heart
I just want to be with you
And then tomorrow
Will you love me like you did today
I’ll close that door
Or leave it open you
you can have your way
Why do you have to
turn around and give me the gun
you can stay
or we can end it like we started it
Chorus
Bridge
Make make make like you do believe
give give give while you still can breath
take take take all my doubt away
make make make like you do believe
Chorus

Love Letters
Words and Music By Christina Martin
Over the ocean
Under the others you lay
Waiting for someone to pick you up
Into my hand into my heart
And for the moment you were everything
Under the circumstance you called to me
Settling pieces of my heart
And at the time you called right out to me
Chorus
But I threw your love letters away
I threw your love away
I threw your love letters away
Caught in a moment
We were in love, lonely
Filling up spaces with potential hearts
Something to keep us going
Threw the weak
I found your letters like any others
Taking up space in my keepsake box
I have a new love and a new song
I don’t read the things you made for me
I threw your love letters away
I threw your love away
I threw your love letters away
Bridge:
Turn down the pages
Tear them to pieces of
A broken heart
Take down the pictures
And the idea that we might still be friends
I’m just here, not where you might want me to be
Chorus

Hard Day in June
Words and Music by Christina Martin
Summers here its all I can do
To calm the voice against you
We tried hard to do things right
But there’s just no room for two tonight
Chorus
It’s a hard day in June
Why do I have to be the one
To tell the truth
We can’t keep going at this pace
We can’t keep going at this pace
It’s a hard day in June
Days go by there’s nothing to see
The signs are up but no one can read
How it was, or how it is now
Nobody speaks cause we’re not allowed
Chorus

China Box
Words and Music by Christina Martin
All I know is that I don’t know
All I have are these memories
All I’ve got to go by is a feeling
What is a feeling going to do for me and you?
All he said was you never know
You thought you could pave a road
Your money, love, your friends you watch them go.
Oh, is this feeling gonna do for me and you?
Chorus
Open up this china box
This is easier for me to do
Without a plan, and without your hand
It is all right for now
This is easier for me to do
Without your hand.
Take away all these memories
Lets go back in the history
To a time when you ignored a feeling
How it was telling you to turn and walk away.
Call me up before I go numb
I’m eating away at the heart of this thing
All I’ve got to go by is a feeling
Oh, and this feelings telling me that I’m afraid
Chorus
