For another project I wrote the first words of the songs Kina Grannis played on YouTube. Here are those words for those songs in which she played guitar where the fretboard was sufficiently visible (or risibly guessable) in alphabetical order by song title:
just before our love got lost you said
all I want is nothing more
and am I wrong, for thinking out the box
so glad you made time to see me
cuz baby now we got bad blood
you and me between the sheets
why in the night sky are the lights hung
oh I'm sailing away my own true love
we don't have to worry about nothing
and I know she'll be the death of me
party girls don't get hurt can't feel anything
christmas is children who just can't go to sleep
the drought was the very worst
true, it's dance, we know the moves
she sees them walking in a straight line
baby you a song, you make me wanna roll
holding on dear river to my skin
oh the bitter winds are coming in
you got a fast car, I wanna take it to anywhere
do you ever feel like a plastic bag
when you try your best but you don't succeed
I feel it too, try not to talk
I think I've had enough, might get a little drunk
as I walk through the valley
genevieve wakes up to the cold that she created
stop in the dark where the stars are still shining
I've been trying to do it right
hold on to me as we go
no I've never seen the sky as vanilla as tonight
funny how we met on the telephone
a dangerous plan, just this time
hush now, let's go quiet in the dark
yeah I wanna know where you go if you're going
well you only need a light when it's burning low
oh the weather outside is frightful
little worrier, lay your head to rest
call it magic, call it true
don't remember much, tried to put it aside
I wanna go where the lights are low
maryanne, she was a lovely friend
the springtime brings out the brightest green
I cannot live without you
if you were my father, if you were my own
the count down, we're up against the road
I think I did it again, I made you believe
robby's got a quick hand
I was scared of dentists and the dark
there's a fire starting in my heart
Saturday morning, got out of bed
I remember tears streaming down your face
skies are crying, I am watching
let's stop pretending
so won't you stay with me
all I am is a man, I want the world in my hands
call all the ladies out, they're in their finery
the fireplace is burning bright
white lips pale face, breathing in snowflakes
chestnuts roasting on an open fire
darling, darling, will we meet again?
are you, are you, coming to the tree
leaves on the ground, waiting but there's no sound
I will be the one you say goodnight to
you, the only girl that I see
you know it's harder when you hold me
love, it's a special day
tell me what you want, what you really really want
how long, how long must it go on this way
this is my winter song to you
see the stone set in your eye
hear your breath beside me in my bed
just before our love got lost you said
all I want is nothing more
and am I wrong, for thinking out the box
so glad you made time to see me
cuz baby now we got bad blood
you and me between the sheets
why in the night sky are the lights hung
oh I'm sailing away my own true love
