I see a hint of you in my eyes, in me The wonder, the color, the way you discovered that you were born free So maybe you are an old soul But I swear to be younger is where you should be So promise me you'll make sand castles out on Erie And when the wind blows and takes all your work away You may get down but know you're gonna be ok Promise me I see your worries love, it's ok to cry The fighting, the causing a scene The tension you just can't make right So maybe you are an old soul But you're too young to be desperate for meaning in life So promise me you'll make it home safely at the end of the night And when the wind blows and takes all your hope away Hold on and know you room for love will never fade Promise me There are hills that you will climb Through weak knees and worn eyes 'Cause the canyons made you brave as hell Promise me

Pacifica 03:36
Whoa! Get up and go Catching a plane Catching a wave Catching young love Gotta be honest Gotta be real Life's a thrill Soak up the sun Oh how it melts my cares away Pacific sun, can I stay If you wanna be cooler Learn to swim Let the water Flood your skin Did you know that what you're holding is a half of my heart We're young and hopeless and you know this isn't splitting apart Take it easy, take another piece of my sunny heart This is perfect, oh so worth it, tell me we'll never part
3.
Addicted 04:06
So maybe I'm addicted to the sun, the birds, and you So what if I can't see at night, 'cause dark is a lack of light I suppose I have a bad case of everything tastes so great And this could be the catalyst for years of my happiness La la la Oh baby, oh darlin' You hurt me so I thought I'd never ever mend Oh baby, oh darlin' I thought you should know I'm doing fine without you And I clutch the pages of a printed place To save my own fate And I know where the secrets hide Under the beds of what we call time And I follow like some kind of junkie with too much on their hands But what if the universe has unseen plans for me La la la Oh baby, oh darlin' You hurt me so I thought I'd never ever mend Oh baby, oh darlin' I thought you should know I'm doing fine without you
4.
If I told you "you're the bestest" A heart above the rest Would you tell me the same? If I told you I'm a fighter Would you think I'm a fool? Someone who needs a shortcut now and then If I told you that you're sunshine On a February night Would you tell me the same? If I told you I'm a writer Would you think I'm a wreck? Or would you think that I'm no good at all? If you are immune to my drug Then don't breathe so hard If you want to track down love You've gotta break science, make art Slow it down Where you going at that pace? Gravity implies to me This is a journey, not a race If you are immune to my drug Then don't breathe so hard If you want to track down love You've gotta break science, make art
5.
Eventually 02:05
Everyone's expecting you to wander And I suppose they're expecting me to stay Two birds can't be sure where they're headed in the wind But they take off for their treasure anyway You told me you'd thought of leavin' You wanted to set me free But I'd rather work hard alongside you Than work easy alongside me So let's take turns carrying the load Down an unfamiliar road Eventually we'll land upon our dreams Eventually
6.
The New Year 04:30
I thought of the new year And how I traded places with a younger me I'd much prefer the longer nights Knees that work and brighter eyes I felt my age sink in It takes time to feel invincible again Except when I'm with you We can stay here under the covers Wasting into the night I'll forget the moon ever rises The sun ever gives off light I thought of your past lives And if anything had ever felt so right Swing-set rhythms and sugar-tongues Twisting my insides out at the sun I was nervous, I was shaking Now I'm lonely and breaking lighter moods Except when I'm with you We can stay here under the covers Wasting into the night I'll forget the moon ever rises The sun ever gives off light
7.
Wait 04:27
In your apartment the air is still I've been waiting alone in your room The city soundtrack of birds and train stops renews Surrounding me and waiting for you I'll just have to wait Everything will change I could make 500 days I could make a life Reaching for something more than just staying alive Who am I to be here now I'll just have to wait Everything will change

Ohio 03:53
Got out on a wire Tightrope walkin', dreams start talkin' fire See your eyes in the light Moves away my blues most every night Please believe me when I tell you I am not afraid of living lonely Green is a dangerous crutch But you say you don't care for 'things' that much So I'm burning all my shoes Except the ones that led my feet to you Please believe me when I tell you I am not afraid of living lonely But I need you 'cause I breath you I'm at ease with calling you my only Oh I can't tell you all about how you stole my heart Kept it beating Oh please babe you know all my rhythms You can show, my left feet need leading Do you believe in souls like me? Hearing what you can't hear Seeing what you can't see Tell me you need me there until the end I'm coming back to you again Please believe me when I tell you I am not afraid of living lonely But I need you 'cause I breath you I'm at ease with calling you my only Oh I can't tell you all about how you stole my heart Kept it beating Oh please babe you know all my rhythms You can show, my left feet need leading Oh I can barely stand up straight Woosy and loosing my feet under me You come along, keep me steady Oh I can't tell you all about how you stole my heart Kept it beating Oh please babe you know all my rhythms You can show, my left feet need leading Ohio you rendered my eyes and gave me reason to roam But Ohio you made me someone who wants this somewhere to call home

One more knock, one look, one touch One more emotion, my life in slow motion Oh light love, love light Sun burns so bright We made our beds, we'll rest our heads tonight One more tug, one pull, stay close And feel this beat, can you feel my beat for you Don't let the night go quietly It's you and me, it's me and you We are infinite now But when my heart is weak and cutting out I swear to seek good and true I will think of you Fall back to 33, the day we lost our heads Unlaced our threads for life Instinct told me the land would set us free We tamed the sea that night We are infinite now But when my heart is weak and cutting out I swear to seek good and true I will think of you I woke up today and found myself in slow motion With nothing more than the notion that this life is meant to flow free The waves crashing like the days of the summer The current blurring each one it ever swept out to sea We are infinite now But when my heart is weak and cutting out I swear to seek good and true I will think of you

Oh No! 03:16
I once knew you as you wanted me to Engaged in every way I matched your footsteps in vain You twice took my youthful heart with you in stride Sliding, twisting, tumbling down the mountainside I am but a human Luminous and bright Oh no! I thought you really really liked me The way you said I really wanna see you Kicking up our dust again And oh sure, you did nice things Threw parties where I could sing But every note confirmed what I had known all along That you and me, we were never meant to be And all I was in love with now was your song I am but a human Luminous and bright Setting off on a journey Holding close to get it right Oh no Oh no! I thought you really really liked me The way you said I really wanna see you Kicking up our dust again I tried so hard for you to see me
