THAT KIND OF GIRL
(by Ashleigh Somerville, SOCAN/ASCAP)
She's the kind of girl spilling daylight
Recklessly, left and right
She's the kind of girl lifting up the world
She's just that kind of girl
She's the kind of girl you can talk to
Say your worst, she won't mock you
She's the kind of girl lifting up the world
She's just that kind of girl
chorus:
She's the kind of girl the world will try to change
But she's the kind, she's the kind of girl
Who's gonna change the world
She's the kind of girl waking dreams up
Tells you straight, don't give up
She's the kind of girl lifting up the world
She's just that kind of girl
(chorus)
bridge:
And when the shades of grey claim too many days
Girls like her resurrect their fire
And use it to light the way
(chorus)

JULY
(by Ashleigh Somerville, SOCAN/ASCAP)
When I close my eyes, sometimes I try
To see the sun inside, my own July
When I find my way to those warm, blue-sky days
Nothing left to say but hey, July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July...hey hey July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July
Iridescent haze, sweet grass for days
Always want to stay in July
Dreaming as I lie, on a wildflower high
Never need to try in July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July...hey hey July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July
I don't cry in July...I don't ask why in July
Free to just be, just be carefree
Everything is easy in July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July
Hey, hey, July...hey, July...hey, hey, July
Free to just be, just be carefree
Everything is easy in July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July
July, July, July, July
Free to just be, just be carefree
Everything is easy in July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July...hey, July...hey hey July
Hey, July...hey, hey, July

SHE KNOWS
(by Ashleigh Somerville, SOCAN/ASCAP)
He called her a drifter to follow her muse
She fell for his judgement, sacrificed the truth
But years and years went by, believing in the lie
Until she wondered why
chorus:
Now she knows, she knows
That this is the life she chose, she knows
She knows the highs are worth the lows
Empowered by passion she gambled it all
Cuz why not a long shot - go big to validate the fall
She's back in the same boat, the one that doesn't float
But that's not all she wrote
(chorus)
bridge:
Where she's been ain't where she's going
She knows, she knows
Eyes open, world growing
She knows, she knows
(chorus)
Now she knows, she knows
It burns in her soul, she knows, she knows
She knows the light, the light, the light she holds
Yeah she knows, she knows
She knows, she knows
She knows the light, she holds the light
(repeat)

APPLES
(by Ashleigh Somerville, SOCAN/ASCAP)
One child to church
One child to synagogue
One child to the forest
This child goes home, this child goes home
Do unto others...
Don't take what's not yours...
Help those who need it...
Every faith I know, every faith I know
pre-chorus:
Sun on my face feels warm
Just like it does for you
I feel alive when I'm in a storm
And I know you do, too
chorus:
Cuz we're all eating apples
Everybody's eating apples
We are all eating apples
Off of the same tree, off of the same tree
Who likes the ocean?
Who likes a sunset?
Who likes the stars above?
Every soul I know, every soul I know
(pre-chorus & chorus)
bridge:
Tree of life still grows
Tree of life grows everywhere
Tree of life feeds everyone
Tree of life is love, tree of life is love
(pre-chorus & chorus x 3)

YOU ARE
(by Ashleigh Somerville, SOCAN/ASCAP)
You are the one I saw from afar, you are the star I wished on
We found our way to each other but drowned, the ground fell away under us
That was then, this is now
And I know you, I know you – still want me
Why don't you, why don't you make a move?
What we could, what we could be – still haunts me
No time to lose
chorus:
It was you, from the start
You've always had my back and you held my heart
Only you, and you knew I'd find my way back to you
I don't know how you knew
It's always been you (you, you, you)
verse 2:
You stayed behind when I went away, I prayed each day you'd follow me
Big skies between us we needed to try to fly and live separated lives
But that was then, this is now
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
bridge:
You let me go, you know I need my space
And I left you but every day I missed your face
We tried to run from things we couldn't handle
But no one holds a candle...
(chorus)

THE WAY YOU LOVE
(by Ashleigh Somerville, SOCAN/ASCAP)
I love the way every morning you say
that you love me and kiss my face
I love the way at the end of the day
You wrap me up in your warm embrace
chorus:
I love the way you love
You're what I always dreamed of
I love the way you look at me
You look at me like you love the way I love the way you love
I love the way you won’t buy me flowers
You know I cry to see them die
I love the way we lose the hours
Time with you, flies on by
(Chorus)
bridge
It’s a never-ending wonder…thrilling me just like thunder
This sea of love I'm under, I love, I love the way you love (the way I love the way you love the way I love)
I love the way I get butterflies
You catch my eye, and my oh my
I love the way we get mesmerized
By old cliches, like starry skies
(chorus)
