Can't Stop

Can't stop,
won't stop,
keep running, yes running 'til the end of the day
Tides turn,
skirts turn,
beat burn,
but I love you more more today
Today
Love burns and turns my wheels,
high heels,
damn girl okay
Love arch your back,
deal an attack,
don't step away
I'm just trying to make sense,
out of all of this
Trying not to lose my mind
We stand on hill tops,
falling down lately
You've got me running,
it drives me crazy
And I can't stop, won't stop
Call me maybe
I'll
Always
Recognize
Your Eyes
Wild eyes
Your eyes
Wild eyes
You might think i'm playin
Stayin up and waitin
For me to crash into your arms
And though I'm cravin too
I still can't get to you
Over again cant get out of my head
And its over
And over
And

Ahem

Roanoke ramping up saying,
"We are here, that is clear, no more playing."
Simple folk
on a boat home
Heart is open,
love is wise,
hate is nothing but a grand disguise
hoping
Finally someone will look
in their
eyes

Hippie Hill
03:54
|
|||
|
Wondering what to do, and how to be
I'm whistling slightly
She asks me if it's you, across the room
Looking delightfully
Times can change but remember
We're perfectly together, the wind can hold a feather
Times can change me and you
And everything we do, everything we do do do do do
Everything that we do
Landed on Hippie Hill, 5 hours until
The wind will find me
Soup was on the mall, outside the capitol
To feed the hungry
She's sleeping on the street, youth between her feed
Dreaming up something
The mountains still won't fall, they're growing after all
The shadow's frightening
Times can change but remember
The cracks are in forever, the wind can hold a feather
Times can change me and you
And everything we knew, everything we do do do do do
Everything that we do

The Mountain Song
05:17

|
As I looked offside the mountain
To an audience of trees
Weren’t you telling me you loved them
Through a pulled lavender screen
But in no time it’s history
Can I ask you to believe
That my words will still mean something when I’m
Living in a dream
And if you know the way to go
Let me take your hand
There’s no need to show
The flow will help you grow and
You’ll understand
Like the puddles of the mountain
And the air between the trees
There’s a beauty in the darkness
There’s a love that’s in between
But this river’s still a mystery
And this time makes me believe
That I’m still missing something
My soul’s waiting to be free
And if you know the way to go
Let me take your hand
There’s no need to show
The flow will help you grow and
You’ll understand
As I look back towards the mountain
From the valley in between
My mind was on the moon time
And my heart was at the peak
Sometimes if you listen
The echo still resounds
An avalanche won’t halt my tracks
I know I’m not alone
And if you know the way to go
Let me take your hand
There’s no need to show
The flow will help you grow and
You’ll understand

Don't you tell me about those worries now
Don't you tell me about those worries now
Don't you tell me, tell me now
Wondering
Who we
Someday
Might be
Who we are and how we got there

Harmonize
05:36
|

|
Harmonize the future they said
Ruling is lonely, lonely as ocean bed
Family will always be
Harmonize the future they said
Galvanize and suture your dead
Hoping for broken, broken and happy instead
Awaken, there's bacon
Galvanize and suture your head
We walk alone talking on our phones
Instant gratification is the state of a nation,
What's been going on
Take me away on another day, I'm trying to say
Trying to say: we're wasting away, let's make it okay
Realize the future's in you
Take it for granted, granted be forever true
Slanted towards Bethlehem
Realize the future's in you
Though granted take my timed time,
ease my mined mind,
make it fine
Keep love above all else together

Been Gone
04:51
|
|||
|
More than a moment
More and it feels
Won’t you listen closely dear
Can’t promise you there won’t be fear
The music is broken
The music is clear
And you’re wandering around
Believing in the sound, my dear
And I just want you to be there
Just like I want nothing to peter
And you must hold
something enough to be gone
I waited around for a while
The thought of her still makes me smile
I waited around for a while
Another earth
Another mile
Rolling in after
Rolling in clear
There’s a weight that’s on my mind
A heaviness defines
The future is open
The future is fine
Take a breath and love the mess
Forget about the rest
Believe it is the best
Achieving eminence
And I just want you to be there
Just like I want nothing to peter
And you must hold
something enough to be gone
I waited around for a while
The thought of her still makes me smile
I waited around for a while
Another earth
Another mile

Somethin' Sometimes
02:43
|
|||
|
Listen closely
Listen closely
Listen closely
Listen closely
Listen closely while I pour my heart out
Believe me when I tell you I've been far out
Until the ocean waves
Are lapping at my grave
Somethin' sometimes is all I need to hold out
