Tiff Jimber

Go on hold me back
Try to keep me down
Cover my heart with your sleeve
But the beat it still resounds

Say words to distract
But you can’t pull me away
I’ve loved for so long
I know no other way


I’m trying to see
What it is that you could do for me
But my hands are full
With everything that I need

Say what you want
Take what you wish
But you can’t keep a girl down
Nothing from you
Will ever compare to the
Spark that I have found
I feel what I love
And I know it’s enough
‘cause my feet don’t touch the ground
Ol Joanna, she holds every key


when words are out of reach
she gets me to speak
She’s there always listens
Fills parts that have been missn’

Through all of the madness
tears of joy and gladness
she sees burdens in my way
and pushes them away

I’m letting you know
There are sides to me
That I will never go
Special places that she
Takes me and I go

I knew that you
You would be the one
To skin me of all that I love

I was the one
The one who set them free
Till you brought me down to my knees

Close your eyes baby it’s long over due
Oh now who really thinks
Lustful thoughts through

Some say that dreams
Are just another view
Of all that is known and comes true.


I built a world
around everything I saw
ignoring all of the flaws

I knew that times
Was constant and smart
And would obviously
Claw us apart


I knew that you
You would be the one
to skin me of all that I love.

He left with out warning
For a life more boring
A life
That didn’t’ include me

His face I would never
Get to see ever
But I knew
It was sketched onto me


People always go
They fly away
On the wings of a breeze I ‘ve been told

Just when you think
You have something to hold
The wind starts a blown’
You loose control
People always go
They always go



My calls unreturned
By day 5 I’d learned
The silence was her way to depart

A friendship for many years
Laghter and every tear
Etched in the journal of my heart

The pages were griping my heart ever slipping
Till the day
It all fell apart

I thought you were the one
But that’s what you couldn’t say
I know that you had your fun
But my heart can’t stay

Well the lights in this room don’t work
And there’s a fly on the floor
In the alley crazy’s are screamin’
And my neighbor just slammed his car door

Well I hear all these sounds in my garage downstairs
The people are asleep
if I sing ,
No body cares

Keep pressing on, press it to the limit
Till my limit is gone.
Grabbing for every step
Wonderin’ if it’s worth it
And who’ll use me next.
Keep makin’ my moves
Waitin’ for the shot, where I know I can proove
That I’ll keep givin’ it all that I got
Till the day that I loose

Well my room it has no windows but
Two large automatic doors
In the winter with the snow fall you know that I almost froze.

But my smile it lasts
For months at a time
One day I’ll make some money
When I sell all these rhymes.

Standing on the street
When I heard your new in Brooklyn
My heart skipped a beat
And I knew that we were broken
Tears of anguish fallin’ down

Clouds start the rain
& I run to catch the subway
gone are the days
of quiet chats and coffee

we killed what we had with silence
can’t find the words to put this behind us

say it and I’ll let you go
Give up all hope, just let me know
We’ve traveled to long down this road
Is it time to let you go?


Leaves turn to gold
As I reach to grab you number
I put down the phone
As I sit alone and wonder


why is it hard to say these words
To stubborn to let go to the hurt

Far are the days when I knew you
I don’t think we’ll get there in one call
I’d like to have you in my life

‘cause your soul is my smile

Say it and I will be there
Give me a sign that you care
We’ve traveled too long down this road
Is it time to let you go?

Say it an I will be there
Give me a sign that you care
Say it and I’ll let you go
Is it time to let you go?
