Erie (Promise Me)
04:13
|
|||
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

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

Break Science, Make Art
04:08
|

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

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

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

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

We Are Infinite
04:02
|
|||
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
