All That I've Got

can i get you to put it on hold
don't walk away but leave me on my own
for a minute not for a lot
'cause what i give is all that i've got
wanted to be the one that could save you
you turned it on me
i'll follow through
for a minute not for a lot
because what i give is all that i've got
i'm torn in two
i cannot go because i need you
return to your home
make a note of all the things you've left undone
tell me that it's where i go
you make me want to run
dissolve these steel beams - they're all in motion
i'll build them again and you will hold signs in the wind
i'm fine with this in the end
what if i was another me?
hold on, i'm on my way
summer solace
see you agree that what i have is all that i need
what i give is all that i've got
return to your home
make a note of all the things you've left undone
tell me that it's where i go
you make me want to run
you make me want to run

see how much i'm calling
see it fall and see it rise again
i think i might be getting better
i want to see you put together
you hide away for awhile
leave me to explain to our friends
i'm not the kind of person to decide
don't think you have to choose sides
i just need some sky
i just need a room
have i been made hard
did i even try
see how i've been living
didn't give up, i just got busy and now
there are things that i've been given
i'm trying not to throw them out
i just need some sky
i just need a room
have i been made hard
did i even try
did i even try
did i even try
i wanna see you put together
i just need some sky
i just need a room
have i been made hard
did i even try
see how much i'm calling
see it fall and see it rise again
i think i might be getting better
i want to see you put together

when i was much younger the sky was open wider to me
forgiving all my prayers
oh don't you go there
varying them still
paint them red you know i will, you know i will
i want to get back to a mountain range and i am little
hills on the left and a lake in the middle
paint them red you know i will, you know i will
it gets a little cloudy at times
i think i might have made it up or was it real life
are you kidding me?
he got stung by a nest of bees
we felt like the kids from that movie - including the morbid scenes
are you kidding me?
get in the car get in the car get in the car get in the car get in the car
at the bottom of the lake in the middle, there is an entire town and you row between those hills,
what you'll see is church steeple.
what you'll see is a church steeple.

in the city of sleep it is everyone i meet
who has a similar sense of sound
makes me wonder how i long i can last here
makes me wonder if this is my last year around
calming down my hands i walked away
saw that i was not far from the water
from the water and the ways that i was
so i stayed there
and i watch and weigh
some people i've left here
and the water and the water and wood - i think its like last year
you know how much i wanna feel this
now now but its a waste for
you know i don't average out as much as i would like
so i'm here another day
collecting my things to wade through
though i did not anticipate you, i did not anticipate you
it makes no sense to me
i gave and i gave
there is nothing i wont say to you
standing outside your room
i'm gonna hold it down and go
its safe where i know
in the city of sleep it is everyone i meet
you know how much i wanna feel this
now now but its a waste for
you know i don't average out as much as i would like
so i'm here another day
collecting my things to wade through
though i did not anticipate you, i did not anticipate you

Solitary Moves

its gotten good outside but where am i?
its gotten good outside and i'm inside, i'm inside, i'm inside
i'm inside, i'm inside, i'm inside
there is a light that's given off that i can see but i resolve that i'm inside
i want the rain to fall and do not let me down
let me down, let me down
do not let me down, let me down, let me down
could it be?
my stride is heaving
and i fast forward, a door is wide open before me
i am solitary moves - my eyes are closing
i'm alone for days and you know i fight my fate
i'm bridled and circling
oh, to rail on restraint
i right my head now watch as i fall fall fall down
and I'm inside, I'm inside I'm inside
it's gotten outside, but where am i?
i want the rain to fall and do not let me down
there is a light that's given off, that i can see
but i resolve that i'm inside

You're The Runner

balanced out, you're much better
i'm more jealous than I ever let on
measured the land - i'm on a cantilever
you look much better
oh the people you meet, strangers charmed right off their feet
you know, i still have the key to your door
whats more - i knew what was in there before
i know, i know
balanced out, you're much better
i'm more jealous than i ever
measured the land
i'm on a cantilever
that was all for you
you were all on me
i need you to listen
your hometown
it's no wonder you get tired
everything is pulling you under
but you're also all better
i'm on a cantilever
i wanna be the good one
wanna be the money one
you're the runner
i'm the writer
i think we'll be all better
balanced out, you're much better
i'm more jealous than I ever
(i think i might do it again)
measured the land, i'm on a cantilever
(and in spite of the indignity, that was all for you, you were all on me)
i need you to listen

Mitten Brooklyn, New York
In late 2009, Maia and Joanna bonded over whiskey and salt bagels.
The pair began
emailing each other song ideas and soon began writing music together as Mitten. Written entirely over email, the duo completed a shimmering collection of songs, writing lyrics on buses and at rest stops between Brooklyn and Boston.
