I’m just a man, what did you think?
I’ll go and fuck it again
I tethered my thoughts to a string
What do you wanna say instead?
And I won’t second guess it,
I know I’m precious.
I’m just a man, what did you think?
I’ll go and break it again
I tethered your eyes to a screen
What can I not understand?
I’m but a word that you sing
I’ll go and chase it again
I’ll tell all my thoughts to a screen.
And I won’t second guess it,
I know I’m precious.

Hey, since I have seen you
I’ve been different
Old lie
Hey, don’t cry
The world is yours to have now
I swear I saw
It took so long
To see the worth I have now
So long
I tried so hard.
And I tried to change my name,
I tried to go away,
I’ll never try again.

Hold On
04:40
|

Movies and bottles, feel like I’ve never seen light in the mirror
Blame it on my wandering mind it gets clearer
When I try thinking of you
Hot summer evening, hoping it’s never too late to get better
I’m sorry, like every day, I’ll try harder
For now, it just don’t mean a thing.
Free fire, burn strong
Future, I take you on
We are reckless ones
Our hearts sing a fiery song
We’ll love until we’re done.
Soft skin and bright eyes
Comet that burst without warning into my sky
Fire and memories of joy that she lit up
Hope that I don’t mess it up
Do I confront it?
It’s probably just a trick of my brain,
I deserve it
Did I break everything? It’s a habit
I’ll just learn to let the thoughts go
Free fire, burn strong
Future, I take you on
We are reckless ones
Our hearts sing a fiery song
We’ll love until we’re done.
So I’ll hold on,
Let the waves all crash down
All the things I’ll hold strong
Wherever you are.

Dream
03:45

I’ve got a dream that you would say something
And the fire’s at the window still
And all my songs have never rung so true
I’ve got a dream that we’re still holding strong
That it’s not to late, that we’re not to young
And all I say will never make it true
I’ve got a five foot lover in the back of my head
And her whispered voice still takes me there
It’s true, no matter what
I’ve got five full moments to say the words
But an echoed laughter keeps me believing in you.
I hope you do,
Let me dream, just a little while longer
Let me dream, I know love ain’t forever
What if I love a little stronger ?
I’ve got hope that it’s all passing by,
That time will come, and that time will right,
All the wrong I’ve ever done to you.
I’ve got hope and maybe I’m losing time
I may be dumb and I may be blind
But my heart won’t stop beating there for you.

Summer

Summer comes, to mark it
Gold is lost to habit
Fall, drown and make it
Heart, sound, awaken.
Hold on to the light you make,
it’s just another breath you take
Hold on to the light to the light you make
It’s just another dumb mistake.
Summer comes to tell us
Secret songs to help us
I never knew I could have it
Everyday I’ll hold it
Everyday I’ll hold it.

There

All my life
I’ve been chasing ghosts
Of something I already know
I will be there for you
Wherever you are
All my life
I’ve been chasing thoughts
That I would never be good enough
I will be loving you
With all I got
All my life
Been holding on
To something that might just hit me strong
I will be there for you,
Whatever the price
Now I,
I’m without your love,
The fire up above is all I can see
It’s all I can feel.
All this time
Been trying hard
To be somebody that I’m not
To be the one you want
To be the one they like
But will they be there for me?
All this time,
Well all I found
Is that I will never be good enough
Baby that’s alright
I’m all that I need
Whatever they can think right now
There’s love that I feel and it’s bright and strong
I will be there for you
Whatever you need.
Now I,
I’m without your love,
The fire up above is all I can see
It’s all I can feel.

Never Meant
05:12

I never meant
To drive you away
To tether what’s left
To the end of the day
I never meant
To change your plans
But what I said then
Was all that I could say
I never meant
To pretend like nothing’s wrong
Nothing’s wrong
Whatever you’re gonna do now,
All I wish is all for you.
Don’t waste your time
Don’t waste your memory I’ll be gone for a while
Don’t waste you time
Don’t waste your memory I’ll be cold
Cause nobody knows just what you’ve got.
I never meant,
For us to break
For my soul to shake
In every way
All I can say,
Is I hope you’re okay
And that all of this mess
Leads to a brighter day
I never meant
To cling on to strong and say
Nothing’s wrong, now nothing’s wrong
Please.
Don’t waste your time
Don’t waste your memory I’ll be gone for a while
Don’t waste you time
Don’t waste your memory I’ll be cold
Cause nobody knows just what you’ve got.
We don’t live no more,
You can’t take my precious loving on.

Redefined

Well the way is long,
And the tides hit strong
And it hurts like hell
But you know to well
That you know too much
Maybe not enough
Well you’re out of luck
Maybe lost the touch
One step closer to you
You say there’s a road that I will find
It’ll have me grown and redefined
Like the birds on the windowsill
I will just sing until
It’s come
There’s a road that I will find
It’ll have me grown and redefined
But will I know the way?
Will I know the way tomorrow?
So you want the key
To set you free
From the words they say
From the lies they bring
So just look inside
And just step aside
There’s another star
Shining in the sky
You say there’s a road that I will find
It’ll have me grown and redefined
Like the birds on the windowsill
I will just sing until
It’s come
There’s a road that I will find
It’ll have me grown and redefined
But will I know the way?
Will I know the way tomorrow?

Lights

Lights in the living room
I’ve seen places shine so bright
The world looks a little blurry
When I spin around you through the night
Calls of an open arm
Tell me that I have messed it up
The birds would sing up and loud
But now they’ve gone for summer in the south
Sing loud,
The whistles blew wide and clear
Hold out,
Your heart is known before it disappears
Whatever the cost
You sing for your loss
I never knew right here
Was a moment I shouldn’t have lost.
Lights in the living room
You’ve seen the places shine so bright
Smoke puffs from your lungs
Chasing the thoughts inside your mind
Lights in the living room
Dances are like a mortal fight
I take one to the neck
That’s all
I’ll bleed down
But nobody’s ever right
Sing loud,
The whistles blew wide and clear
Hold out,
Your heart is known before it disappears
Whatever the cost
You sing for your loss
I never knew right here
Was a moment I shouldn’t have lost.
Lights in the living room
I see a face is where you stand
I heard the calling like: “Birds will never understand”
Flying around my room
Drunk on the thought of you and then,
I whisper it to the moon,
“Why the hell can’t I let it fade ?”

To Get Some Rest
08:57
|

|
I could be lying
I could be hurtful
I could be kind
I could be cruel
One step out of line and I am done for
Keep all my secrets behind that door.
And yeah it’s true
Sometimes all I want is you
All I want is to be cold
And yeah it’s true
Sometimes all I want is you
All I want is to be loved
I don’t want to fuck it up,
Maybe you can show me how
I don’t wanna cry but love
The tears are falling down, a flood.
Colors and arid sun,
I’ll be gone for a little while.
Tethered to a heavy stone,
I can see the world from here.

Dance
05:56
|

|
This is a dance for the best of us
For the ones that see
With eyes of the bright summer first
This is a dance for the rest of us
That try to feel
The silver linings all around our hearts
This is a song for the way you feel
For the weighted gifts I wore all around my neck
This is a dance for you and me,
This a dance to set me free
I think love is a dance,
Awkward at first, two hearts trying to beat in unison
As counteracting forces make your head spin around the thought of her
And you spin,
And it feels like a dream
But soon you wake up
Say I’m not a man you take for granted
I’m not worth half of a heart’s love,
Or half of a mind’s thought
I’m fucking precious.
I’m a sunset over a boulevard
I’m an eclipse
I’m a blue bird and I had my wings clipped
I’m a blue bird that’s what you helped me see
Love was a dance to you and me,
And it was a dance that I liked to see
We spun around in circles and thought that we were free
But you can’t tether a blue bird to a tree.
