Here’s the situation
All I wanted was freedom
That’s easy you just run!
And I can see that you’re making faces
Careful they might stick and that’s it
Every part of me is looking for a reason
For why we’re here? and why do the trees turn?
Every autumn it’s that same old feeling
I want to grow but I find myself sleepin
So I opened up my heart to find
There’s something there - it’s deep inside
And like a mother gives without a sigh
So will I, I’ll be your light
and I shine I know it’s the only way to show that I’m grateful
and I can’t lie I’d love to share but I’m feeling unsure
M’aidez I’m lost and I’ve found myself in a little situation
And I’m not so proud I can’t ask someone for ideas or directions
I’m sure there’s a simple solution
Why you dissolve every time my head turns
Your face will degrade with time
I keep looking till the break of dawn
And in my dreams it seems to me
You’ll never change, you’ll always be
The animal i’ve always seen
But no you’re not, you’re running free
and I shine I know it’s the only way to show that I’m grateful
and I can’t lie I’d love to share but I’m feeling unsure
M’aidez I’m lost and I’ve found myself in a little situation
And I’m not so proud I can’t ask someone for ideas or directions
and hey hey I’m gone but I’m always someone that you can depend on
and I like your thoughts, shed light on what I’m at the other end of
and I shine I know it’s the only way to show that I’m grateful
and I can’t lie I’d love to share but I’m feeling unsure
and I shine I know it’s the only way to show that I’m grateful
and I can’t lie I’d love to share but I’m feeling unsure
Dreams/Plans
I never argued with no one
When I lived all alone
But I missed something there I couldn't replace
So I set out to build a home
Oh oh oh it never gets old
Dreaming till the morning ends
And oh oh oh if we never get old
Our dreams won’t just be plans
There's a lot I'd like to see
Before I settle down
Would you help me find the perfect place
For my kids to call their hometown?
It may not be as green as it once was
As the weather would allow
As long as it's a little more lush than where we grew up
I've got a seed if you've got a plough
So you my friend
Are you down to lend a hand?
With all these plans
For a home built on our land
And oh oh oh it never gets old
Dreaming till the morning ends
And oh oh oh if we never get old
Our dreams won't just be plans
And oh oh oh for all we fought
We've tried to make amends
And oh oh oh give it all we’ve got
And our home might stand a chance
Somebody once had told me
There's a place on this Earth for you
And I paused for a moment and I shook my head
Said this Earth should be a place for us all
Oh oh oh it never gets old
Dreaming till the morning ends
And oh oh oh if we never get old
Our dreams won't just be plans
Oh oh oh for all we fought
We've tried to make amends
Oh oh oh give it all we've got
And our home might stand a chance
Oh oh oh when we both get old
Let's promise to still be friends
Take it from me
Every step of every road you take
And everything that you’ve been through
It’s all culminating to say something
Something about the way you do
And that’s what makes you different
What makes you glimmer in my eye
And if you had been wondering
That’s the reason yeah, that’s the reason why
We got it under control
Share everything
And teach everyone
And you won’t look back
With no regrets
Oh won’t you take it from me?
Take it from me
And every single week that passes
Another 20 million down the drain
And you know if we can outlast them
Then we can win
And we got something they don’t have
Something that we all agree
And that’s something that you can’t buy
But is always free
They’re running out of time
And we’ve got it under control
Share everything
And teach everyone
And you won’t look back
With no regrets
Oh won’t you take it from me?
Take it from me
Share everything
And steal stolen things
And you won’t look back
With no regrets
Oh won’t you take it from me?
Don’t take it from me
Fly/Flow/Flown
Never thought I’d be holding spaces
In my heart until you finally faced it
But I learned to lose my expectations - YA?
Live for me until I make it
Never thought I'd be wholly wasted
Drunk on love and high on your kiss
I'm sure there must be something to this
Together can we find it's just us?
And although we flow reverse directions
We’re strengthening our deep connection
To all we know, all our relations
And the reason why we were created
It’s just a chance
What are the chances?
That the stars would all align
Our paths or tracks would collide
And I’d see through all your petty flaws
And you would see through mine
See right to our divine
Never thought we’d be goin’ places
But we’re on our way and we’re gonna make it
So if you'll hold me, help me through this
You know that I can always promise
I swear I’ll never burn our bridges
This love is one without condition - YA
So slowly let it start to sink in
And let it all come to fruition
And although we flow reverse directions
We’re strengthening our deep connection
To all we know all our relations
And the reason why we were created
It’s just a chance
What are the chances
That the stars would all align
Our paths or tracks would collide
And I’d see through all your petty flaws
And you would see through mine
See right to our divine
You know they’re intertwined
As your head it rests upon my chest
and your heart it beats in time
It’s beating right with mine
And i say from deep inside
I swear until there’s nothing left
I’ll never cease to shine
Rootlessness
And if I followed you on your winding trail
Would you take my hand, would you take me there?
Cause I don’t want to think where I’d be without you
Part of the desert I do not know
And every time I sink into the land around me
I find another reason to let it go
And I’ll have to see
If I could leave it all behind
And if I do I hope you’ll be by my side
And if you are I know we’ll be alright
And if I came along on another day
Would we have felt the same?
To see your love in a different way
I’d have a lot to say
Yeah to you
And if I came along unaware
Trusting just your speechless stare
And if it came to seem that we are all we need
I could trust in you, could you trust in me?
Cause every time I look into the world surrounding
I think of all the wisdom that you have shown
And all I want to feel is your arms around me
You always find a reason to let me go
And I’ll have to see if I could leave it all behind
And if I do I hope you’ll be by my side
And if you are I know we’ll be alright
And if I came along on another day
Would we have felt the same?
To see your love in a different way
I’d have a lot to say
Yeah to you
If I followed you on your winding trail
Would you take my hand, would you take me there?
Cause I don’t want to think where I’d be without you
Part of the desert I do not know
And every time I sink into the land around me
You find another reason to let me go
And I’ll have to see if I could leave it all behind
And if I do I hope you’ll be by my side
And if you are I know we’ll be alright
You deserve a vacation
We’re creatures of madness and habit
We love to believe that we have it
But we don’t we're so far gone it's saddening
I’m gnawing at my bones
Cause I am the dog you’re the rabbit
And we both just want to be happy
So let’s go breathe deep the world is waiting
Like a writer for a poem
Cause I’m feeling rough after several months I’m overdue
and I need you love, but will I be enough for you?
if you only knew
It’s easy to say and to plan it
But what I want to see is some action
Rid my doubts because the winter’s coming
Let’s go to someplace warm
I surely believe in your rantings
Of a wonderful place we can just be
Take me now my heart’s in need of something stable
So whisper words that calm
Cause I’m feeling rough after several months I’m overdue
and I need you love, but will I be enough for you?
if you only knew
And I love to be charmed by your magic
And hear all the prayers deep inside you
Watch your mouth as it drips words inciting
The passion in my lungs
And if I’ve heard it once then it opens up my view
That i don’t need your love but it’d sure be nice to share with you
We wait
And every single word you said I remember
And every glance that never ended
I hope to see one this december
The only reason to come to the west coast
Otherwise i’m ramblin on
And of course you know our days are numbered
With so many places you could wind up
Not sure what it means to settle
But don’t forget when you’ve finally found it
The place that you are from
Cause i’m aching, i’m waiting to reclaim my truth
And stop the constant dreams of you
Cause your eyes in my mind are all I see
Long sighs - I know just what they mean
Loosen the ties till I am finally free
When you wake up from your winter slumber
You know that i’ll be gone for summer
But no matter how far I must wander
You'll always serve as my reminder
“What you love comes along”
You can’t run away from all your problems
Cause you know where you go they’re sure to follow
Just need to find some land to stand on
Take my time and come back stronger
I won’t be gone for long
Cause i’m aching, i’m waiting to reclaim my truth
And stop the constant dreams of you
Cause your eyes in my mind forever green
No light shines forever beams
One day we’ll fight and die - I know you’ve seen
On that cold red dawn
Cause i’m aching, i’m waiting to reclaim my truth
And stop the constant dreams of you
Cause i’m waiting, i’m aching to finally see you
Unmelting
A frost covered window from the leaks in our mouth
Your breath changes tempo as the sun comes around
I leave to let you sleep
step outside and I am free
finally I can hear my heart beat slowing
And a cold bloody wind blows that’s pushing me south
And I can’t move an inch so I’m calling you down
It’s time to figure out - all what it’s about - our dreams
And at night I lie awake
And the light I feel it as it lands upon my face
And I want to change
My thoughts have become still I’m searching for sounds
Our dreams never seem real till our feet touch the ground
Will we always be asleep living in the dream?
Thinking we can breathe but never knowing
Till we’re old and our kids grow and we shed all the doubt
That we kept in our heads so we would never be without
A way to calm you down when you’re stuck inside your house
And the world becomes to loud for me
At night I lie awake
The light I feel it as it lands upon my face
And I want to change
Treeline
I want to live on a mountain
See all that the birds can see
Watch me grow my feathers
Cast me out into the breeze
Into the breeze
I want to feel the breeze
And smell the trees
I want to learn to be strong
Grow all that I need to eat
And when we feel a tremor
You know that it won’t worry me
What will worry me you cannot see
It’s flowing deep
And if you meet me in the middle
In the foothills on a meadow
And we know it’s right
Won’t have to decide
Follow the water
soak up the light
And if you wonder where can we go?
To be happy cause you don’t know
You’ll just have to find
Look with your eyes
Somewhere you’ll like, you’ll like
I want to live on a mountain
Read all that I want to read
And when I am completed
I’ll sit and write a book for me
That you’ll never read
Cause it’s just for me
I know what you think
And I don’t want to live long
Just enough to share my dreams
And when they are completed
Cast me out into the sea
Into the sea
That’s where i’ll sleep
You won’t bury me
And if you meet me in the middle
In the foothills on a meadow
And we know it’s right
Won’t have to decide
Follow the water
soak up the light
And if you wonder where can we go?
To be happy cause you don’t know
You’ll just have to find
Look with your eyes
Somewhere you’ll like, you’ll like
What do you like? And what’s the price of my life?
And if you meet me in the middle
Paddle up the river
Come with the tide
Worlds will collide
Loving this day
can’t wait for the night
And If you wonder where’d the day go?
Just be happy that you don’t know
You’re living your life
A step at a time
Completely aligned
Your light
And if you meet me in the middle
In the foothills on a meadow
And we know it’s right
Won’t have to decide
Follow the water
soak up the light
And if you wonder where can we go?
To be happy cause you don’t know
You’ll just have to find
Look with your eyes
Somewhere you’ll like, you’ll like
Are you hungry?
Sweet silence - I like it
You leave home at the right time
it seems so like your style
when I see you, you’re frightened
And I sing to you
Love what you do
Something good for you
What you always knew
Your truth
You didn’t see it coming
This life is meant for running
A deeper dive into something
That’s why you’re hungry
You see through my insides
dispel my one last lie
it’s lovely to catch your eye
and know that you’re not mine
And I sing to you
Love what you do
Something good for you
What you always knew
Your truth
You didn’t see it coming
This life is meant for running
A deeper dive into something
That’s why you’re hungry
You knew when you hit the sand
that life is more than just bitter and bland
choose something better than
all those fools that left you for dead
they sing to you “i love you boo”
“I’m good for you”
but you always knew
the truth
You didn’t see it coming
This life is meant for running
A deeper dive into something
That’s why you’re hungry
You didn’t see it coming
This life is meant for running
A deeper dive into something
That’s why you’re hungry
That’s why you’re hungry
That’s why you love me
Watch it grow
and to this day there’s a lot of things that I would like to say to you
It’s been so many years that I’ve been waiting for this
Something different, something better
But now that i’m here this awkward feeling persists
Strange reluctance and disappointment
I’ll try to be clear, complete and honest
This life of abundance - I’m grateful for it
But I don’t feel secure, can’t rightly make a promise
Or any choices ‘till I find atonement
and to this day there’s a lot of things that I would like to say to you
How i never wanted to lose our castle built in reverse
Normally floors come first, but you taught me how to improve,
And love the things that I do, care for the seeds I’ve sown
Look at the plants I’ve grown and look at the garden that’s bloomed
Look at the flowers that formed feel the sun it’s warm
And smell the air that’s home
I tried not to think that one day i might miss
The life I knew - you and your letters
So keep writing to me but only if you insist
They’re not easy to read but i’ll never surrender
And I start to accept and finally let it sink in
My truest motives one year later
I should have known all along if I didn’t resist
That it wasn’t about change it was always about her
and to this day there’s a lot of things that I would like to say to you
How i never wanted to lose our castle built in reverse
Normally floors come first, but you taught me how to improve,
And love the things that I do, care for the seeds I’ve sown
Look at the plants I’ve grown and look at the garden that’s bloomed
Look at the flowers that formed feel the sun it’s warm
And smell the air that’s home
