Waiting for my ride, The sun is setting, Through the barren trees, I see the steeple, People walking by, Jet Streams, In the blue and grey sky, Its warm to day, Took off my jacket, Spring is almost here, Spring is in the air, I wait for you, Hold on to me, I wait for you, Hold on to me, Black converse, On red brick tiles, This Texas town is green, Even in winter, The sun has almost set, I’m still waiting, I wait for you, Hold on to me, I wait for you, Hold on to me,

Lazarus 04:45
Saturday mornings, Blueberry pancakes, I’m at your front door, Playing in your backyard, Felt like a hundred acres or more, You were my best friends, We were just children then, Our whole lives in store, Now were much older, And live is much harder, Then we ever bargained for, Lazarus, what you gonna do with your life? Lazarus, what you gonna do with your life? A second chance at this great romance, Lazarus, what you gonna do? Forgive me for saying so, But I think we both know, You’re better than this, There’s so much life to live, You have so much to give, We need your love, This is your second chance, Don’t let fear steal your dance, The world needs your love, Lazarus, what you gonna do with your life? Lazarus, what you gonna do with your life? A second chance at this great romance, Lazarus, what you gonna do? Rise up, Rise up, And come forth, Come forth, This is your second chance, At this great romance, This is your second chance, Lazarus.

The sun comes up time to start the day Roll over and see your face The morning sun is upon you and I can think of no other place The sound of you laughing the touch of your skin you are an ocean and have have gladly fallen in This love it is a river and it’s flowing from a higher place it’s carving its own path through the valley it’s like nothing we have ever seen you’re like a warm cup of coffee you are my sigh of relief you are a field of wild flowers your my favorite way to spend the day Your eyes see the best in me each day I’m surprised at how good good can be We are strong separately Yet we fit together perfectly This love it is a river and it’s flowing from a higher place it’s carving its own path through the valley it’s like nothing we have ever seen

Warm coffee drinking redemption Night sky Street lights reflecting of the black top Reverse stars I’m all alone And I’m writing I’m dreaming I’m breathing In tonight Things, people and so many places Drifting through my head Memories like dreams Coming through in fragment And I Miss you I miss you And I miss you Do you remember me? Were we the end of our innocence? Do you remember me? Bittersweet Hurtful, jealous Ever proud So much I wish I hadn’t done So much I wish I hadn’t said To you Warm coffee drinking redemption Night sky Street lights reflecting of the black top Reverse stars I’m all alone And I’m writing I’m dreaming I’m breathing In tonight

Knocked down,
 I’ve fallen so far now, 
Knocked down, 
I landed here somehow,
 Shaking,
 Shuffling around,
 Fighting, To get my feet back on the ground, 

I’m waiting for the clouds to break, 
I could use a little sun light,
 

Trouble,
 It covers my hope like flagstone 
 Fit together, 
By an army of my doubts,
 Memories,
 They jingle like keys on a ring while you're 
 Searching for the one that will open the door

 I’m waiting for the clouds to break I could use a little sun light, 
I’ll lift up my head and,
 Reach out my hand,
 If you hear my prayer

 Steadied, 
I’m shaking off dead
 Steadied, 
I’m shaking off dead 
I’ll lift up my head and Reach out my hand, 
If you hear my prayer, 
If you hear my prayer, 
Please hear my prayer

about

Recorded at Ramble Creek studio in Austin, the EP is sonically a quantum leap forward from her previous home-recorded album. Tara now wields mostly electric guitars, supported by her band mates’ nimble bass and architectural drumming. Despite the scintillating instrumental work, the highlight is Tara’s dynamic voice; from a purr to a roar, its emotional intensity is captivating.

Steadied’s five songs span from jangling guitar pop, to intimate piano ballads, to epic rock dramas. For your next irresistible fix of ear candy, join those who are beating a steadied path to Tara Craig’s door.
