Puddles 03:03
All the roads you rode upon Will rupture in the sun Enough begins to take its toll Then sounds before you’re done Down, down, down the rain comes Crash colossal sound Collections of our common fears Now puddles on the ground Around you Surround you I am not the giver, I am the river I am the one that you would die for I am not the great green ghost I am the shining emerald coast Around you Surround you We were the ones We grew old in your sleep We grew up with the sun Cause you keep us real Keep us feeling something at all I was a ghost because You wouldn't notice But somewhere below The ground keeps me from floating Once We were all the same Then you You flew away from me

New Reckless 03:11
So what am I if not reckless and impatient? So what am I if not one to lead the way? What’s the difference between what I call expectations and you call dreams? It’s our future It’s our future Each time I walk out that door I get a little bit closer to home Oh oh oh oh So what’s the point in us sitting and debating? It’s my questions I hear you evading Like how do you fall asleep at night? What am I if not caring and respectful? What am I if not a liar and a thief? I promise to cross this desert If you promise to survive So hold on Hold on

I would walk around the ocean But I get this seasick notion Every time I look out of my front door I’d probably feel better But I just don’t like this weather So I often wind up sitting home feeling poor I know that I’m a chooser But I just feel like a loser And I hope to god that no one’s keeping score But that’s what scores and scoreboards are for I would go to work if I could afford the store Some times if feels like I’m fighting back a war When my dreams and aspirations just get washed up on the shore

Bees 02:29
Geez louise, we love bees We climb in trees, to feel the breeze Looking for some honey Hope it’s not too runny WHAT… You think I’m funny? I’m friends with the trolls under the bride And all the veggies in my fridge If you wanna save me don’t hold your breath Cause I’m not the kinda girl who needs A prince charming Queen bees rule more than king bees I can’t wait for PG13 movies I like reading graphic novels At the same time as I eat bagels You think being a kid is so easy? Grilled cheesy makes me queasy What?... Ron Weasley! I’m friends with the trolls under the bride And all the veggies in my fridge If you wanna save me don’t hold your breath Cause I’m not the kinda girl who needs A prince charming

We Got Away 04:20
Lessons from the ocean will be bottled from a far Colors of the war will shine through I will fight I will free all those who travel with out eyes Calling for the truth Take what you wanted, all you are don’t you worry Of the long long way back down Of the long long way back down We got away, we got away, we got away Until this day We got away, we got a way, ay ay Dear we are golden rolling covered from the storm Sailing without leave You will fight you will free all those who travel with out eyes Fighting for the truth Take what you wanted, all you are don’t you worry Of the long long way back down Of the long long way back down We got away, we got away, we got away Until this day We got away, we got a way, ay ay

California 03:39
The notion that your blood goes as deep as the ocean Doesn’t matter if you always wash up back home I will not grow where you will not garden Will not walk where grief was grown to reap alone Long time ago I wished I were the father Of the newest born child on the ground that forgot her She will not hear what the new sound fears A California girl to mourn ya When you’re gone A California girl to mourn ya When you’re gone I found a garden where My work will be returned I long for a place where The gaps need me as much as I need them Lean into the long shot I take comfort in the distance between here and your hair Drive all night till our luck’s shot The summer air will raise the hair On your neck I will see you for the truth that you carry I will see you for the labor of your love I will see you in the only way I know how to see beauty As close to god as I would ever care to get You sing like you mean it That means a whole lot to me You play hard with your obscene wit An Indiana girl she’s a Nana Grizol fan An Indiana girl she’s a Nana Grizol fan
7.
I may run away dear But you can chase me Oh you can chase me But you, you will not follow Oh no you won’t dear And that’s fine with me I will buy you flowers, But they won’t make it No they won’t make it But you, you will not hear me Cause the train is calling Gotta ride alone Here we go it’s the merry go round song Won’t you join in Dancing and all the hummingbirds singing Soon we’ll be friends I will keep your secret But they might make me No they won’t let me But you, you will not mind dear Cause they won’t find us We’re goin’ roamin’ free We will find our treasure And sail off ever, oh and ever But dreams don’t always make it And that’s the story of you and me Here we go on this merry go round Falling slowly, wake my dear now

In the middle of my street That I don’t live on Something I can’t forget So I fetter my regret And I look into the stars And stare as the stars go by Soon the sun it will come up And bless us with a shine There’s a hole in the moon But I think I spoke to soon Cause it’s only big enough for my heart to slip though Like another shivering song Like a lover you once had You know it won’t last long But the feelings not that bad And there’s a hole in my head That’s another way to say I think I missed you on that day Its like I never met you But if you decide to come this way again You believe in second chances Then we can give that one a spin You can sing a song I’ll try to sing a long But I forget the words Does it matter who else heard? We talk of how we’ve learned To love the people that we’ve burned And might seem so absurd But we’ll smile in the rain And laugh away the pain Walk barefoot up the stream So happy we could scream We’ll weather out this storm To the harmony of horns The beating of our hearts Count them as they start
