Whistling
03:27
|
|||
I left my song out in the sea
Hoping someone dear would go find it for me
I've never had much luck before
I never thought I'd have a chance to believe.
But I,
I believe in you
And I
I've seen just a piece of you
And you're whistling
I left a letter by the shore
Floating in the waves, floating evermore
The next day I thought it was gone
But here you come singin' along, singing the right song
Male: I thought I heard you going. I swear I saw you leaving
Female: You know, I'm here

Cold Water
03:40
|

I fell in cold water
before I learned to swim
until strong hands pulled me out
Mmmmmmmm
Some years later I went by a river
though I refused to go in
I watched friends swim out like otters
Mmmmmmmm
And my family carried me through heartache
And my faith had carried me past sin
And though I’d lived through such a great depression
I still hadn’t learned to swim
Mmmmmmm
Found a man who could teach me properly
though I was nervous as could be
When we went down by the water
He held my head above the sea
Years later I found his address
And traveled back to my hometown
I had again fell in the water
Only I had no chance to drown
And my family carried me through heartache
And my faith had carried me past sin
And though I’d lived through such a great depression
My greatest struggle was learning to swim
My greatest struggle was learning to swim
Mmmmmmm

Ocean Blue
04:17
|

There's a bright full moon
Laying in the sky
So I'm lying down
Just to watch it all night,
Just to watch it all night
If you've ever known
How much you've never seen
I'm not sure how you can
Do anything but dream
Do anything but dream
And you told me where you'd been
Such a glorious escape from what we knew
You spent the last year traveling
From the mountains to the shores of ocean blue
I just wish I had been there too
(And next time I will be there too)
So we'll leave our home,
Travel far and wide
Stay at cheap hotels
Maybe go see Versailles
Or spend our time in Shanghai
We can try our luck
Backpacking for days
getting from town to town
We could make it such a ways
We could make it such a ways
And you told me where you'd been
I've never known of stories better than you told
Of the worlds you've travelled in
when we both go there I'll never be alone
So many places to call home
So many places to call home- oh it's
So strangely irresistible
It's like I've never dreamed so vividly before
About the places I could go

Bringing The Heat
04:29
|
|||
This may play against the trends
But I’m not afraid to get older
It takes time to play the game
And it takes time to become bolder
In the meantime you got things
friends and music and tv
that keep you thinking on your feet
and they’re all fine with me
Ohh, our generation, we aren’t playing
we’re just making sense of this mess
things have been changing, so let’s
sit down, think straight, deal with what’s next, eh?
There’s a nice wave going, all I know is that I’m stayin’ on the beat.
yeah, that’s all that matter to me
If the swell keeps growin’, I suppose that I’ll keep on flowing,
yeah, and I’ll keep on bringing the heat
I’ve done my schoolwork and survived
And kept my debt down best I could
I kept moving to stay alive
So I can change when it comes time
And every thought that’s crossed my mind
Is only there to make me stronger
And every action that I take
Will keep me going that much longer

Crimson Horizons
03:20
|
|||
There’s a dot in the corner of my eye
Then it’s lost, then it’s lost
It’s alright, I’ll change the future in my mind
and program time, and program time
We sculpt forever with broken shards and burnt leather
Crimson horizons that change with the weather
The pulsing of the earth beats as our brushes sweep
Painting the valleys and their peaks
We’re on a crunch, creating the heavens and the earth
making so much, making so much
Then we release, watching the concepts become birthed
and watch the scene, watch the scene

Fireplace
04:24
|
|||
I came here to make my story change
and settle somewhere to a degree
This new place is lush and full of life
although my home might just be me
And with time, with a fireplace for light
the country night becomes the place I want to be
For every rhyme that I’ve tried to make just right
I can only make it work when I’m at peace.
I caught some rabbits in the woods
Just like a trapper might have done
Close enough to town to hear it’s hum
But never having to hear it’s sounds
And with time, and a lantern burning bright
the country night become the place I want to be
For every stage that I’ve got the chance to play
I’ve only sang a valiant song when I was free.
I’ve only sang a valiant song when I’ve been free
and I can only make it work when I’m at peace.

Rainbow Light
03:34
|
|||
Movies late at night
Eyelashes that brush my skin and feel right
When we swim there’s rainbow light
Every breath is pure delight
Sunlight forms around you
It’s outright joy to look to
In line with the best times I’ve been in love
Breakfast early on the beach
watch the sunrise form in ecstasy
When we swim there’s rainbow light
On our river near the sea

Steadfast
03:08
|
|||
Let me hear a roar
I want nothing like it was before
We can change the world
We’ll have it if we work a little more
And we rise
Like warriors in their prime
Few supplies
but steadfast hearts
and no lies
are gonna keep us from our pride
or keep us from our thoughts
Will the future hold me high
I don’t know
Can I change a moving tide
I don’t know
But there’s a moment I realize I’m fine
with my loved ones by my side
with my loved ones by my side
You believe in fate
I believe in making our own change
I think we’ll be ok
So long as we are headed the same way

There She Goes
03:47
|
|||
A few responses have been sent
But none from home where you belong, so this may just be it I guess
Don't mistake me, I want it too
It's just that every time I think of it I already miss you
There she goes, holding her suitcase
Leaving to some great beyond
I never know just how much I need her
Until she's gone, until she's gone
She'll be back to visit me often
And I'll be there to visit her
And though there is such distance between us
I'm still sure, I'm still so sure that she is the one
I'm not afraid to say what's true
When we engage in conversations she knows so many more truths
And she still loves me like I'm just fine
She says her friends and family know that the two of us will be alright,
I carry on and I won’t veer,
It’s only two more years
And every day you’ll cross my mind
I’ll be waiting right here
