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

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

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.

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

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
