young love

maybe we could blame it on the sunshine
write it like a high school story.
maybe it was staying up late.
with no one else around.
it could have been the walk home
hot nights, summer shining.
might have been the time zone
or the way you watched the waves.
young love.
you don’t know anything
young love,
it could be everything
young love
you made a place for me
young love
it’s always going to be
young love
young love
young love
young love
you didn’t have to ask me
words were boring back then.
we were always singing,
you put the music back in me.
and we were running through the city.
met up at a birthday party.
was it something ‘bout the feedback
or drinkin’ through the night.
young love.
you don’t know anything
young love,
it could be everything
young love
you made a place for me
young love
it’s always going to be
young love
young love
young love
young love

another mystery
04:54

when i turned away from you, i don’t know what i had to prove
i wandered ‘til i found you by my side
it doesn’t make a lot of sense, now does it?
it doesn’t make a lot of sense, now does it?
all the words we couldn’t say, the moments we let slip away
they never turned into a great divide
it doesn’t really matter too much does it?
it doesn’t really matter too much
over and over and over again
it’s just a drop in the ocean, a whisper in a dream
it’s just a drop in the ocean, another mystery
and i can’t believe the final scene’s
just a drop in the ocean, another mystery
rivers turn to desert sands, castles fall and empires crash
we stare into the past until we’re blind
that won’t get us anywhere now will it?
that won’t get us anywhere now will it?
i hear your voice across the wire, to pull me from the frozen fire
of everything we have to leave behind
there’s something more to all of this then, maybe?
there’s something more to all of this
over and over and over again
it’s just a drop in the ocean, a whisper in a dream
it’s just a drop in the ocean, another mystery
and i can’t believe the final scene’s
just a drop in the ocean, another mystery
another mystery

this is how we live

well now, girl you got it.
time crawls like a habit.
you’re not going anywhere.
car ride, never walking,
tv, ain’t it shocking.
arms and legs out of control.
sun goes up, day begins,
i stay inside and watch again.
the sun goes down, i see my friends,
i’m just like them, i’m just like them.
everyone’s wonderin’ where i’ve gone,
stuck with the plan from all along.
and it’s all good, i’m holdin’ on. i’m holdin’ on.
long day, let the cat in. stand up, room is swayin',
i’m not going anywhere.
blood lines, pulses pumping,
weeks in, ain’t it something,
someone’s waiting at the door.
sun goes up, day begins,
stay inside and watch again.
sun goes down, i see my friends,
i’m just like them, i’m just like them.
everyone’s wonderin’ where i’ve gone,
stuck with the plan from all along.
and it’s all good, i’m holdin’ on. i’m holdin’ on.

cameron street

on cameron street
we learned to walk
took our first steps
and floated off
tied by a thread
to a light pole
and we never landed
until it broke
and all the tv screens glowing in the windows
the saxophones on the radio
resurrect a scene from a lost memory
when the whole wide world was cameron street
on cameron street
we took a trail
past the church and school
across the rail
and while the bells
were ringing loud
we traced the airplanes
through the clouds
and all the tv screens glowing in the windows
the saxophones on the radio
resurrect a scene from a lost memory
when the whole wide world was cameron street
can we stay a little longer?
let me stay a little longer
on cameron street
we cast our names
into the concrete
live a grave
and while the lawns
grew up from seed
there was nothing
too big to dream
and all the tv screens glowing in the windows
the saxophones on the radio
resurrect a scene from a lost memory
when the whole wide world was cameron street
when the whole wide world was cameron street
when the whole wide world was cameron street

sequels
04:33
|

|
you dreamt of an afterlife
where second chances come to life
and sequels are hard to nail
but when you get it right, when you get it right...
everything looks better from a distance
you can fit more in the frame
looking out over the world
when everything is different but the same
we could paint the sky
take back our time
and start your heart again
we could say goodbye
to wondering why
and start your heart again
no man could be the king
of such a wild and untamed thing
but when you set your sails
you could make it sing, you really made it sing
courage is a word that means "keep swimming"
even when there's no land
the horizon is a doorway
find the trace of a beginning in the sand
we could paint the sky
take back our time
and start your heart again
we could say goodbye
to wondering why
and start your heart again
if you only knew what you only knew
we could paint the sky
take back our time
and start your heart again
we could say goodbye
to wondering why
and start your heart again

six minutes

that was six minutes we sat.
out the door fast, each one longer than before.
that was six hours we sat.
we were tired, but we didn’t have anything better to do.
that was six months we sat.
grown-up life, we learned how to wait.
broken arms.
broken hearts.
but if you already knew what was going to happen
would you even start?
that was a week we forget.
we were there but it happened without us.
that was a week that we left.
i could breathe again. we couldn’t stay forever.
that was a week you were gone.
thank god you knew, i couldn’t ask yourself to come back.
broken arms.
broken hearts.
but if you already knew what was going to happen
would you even start?
we never know (we wouldn’t want to know)
we never know (we wouldn’t to know.)

until i see your face
05:00
|

dear heart don't be alarmed
i can hear the guns but they're far off
although there's nothing much to tell
i feel a little bit better when we're reaching out
until i see your face
nothing else will tame my heart
until i see your face again
until i see your face
nothing else will calm this storm
until i see your face again
my love don't be afraid
i see the flames but they're far away
and i'm holding on to your words
from almost nowhere in the world
until i see your face
nothing else will tame my heart
until i see your face again
until i see your face
nothing else will calm this storm
until i see your face again
again... again...
it's so hard to make the feeling last
the snow is disappearing fast
if you never came back whatever would i do?
i saw your light and i felt your spark
the sun goes down but it never gets dark
it's the only thing that i can hold on to
until i see your face
nothing else will tame my heart
until i see your face again
until i see your face
nothing else will calm this storm
until i see your face again
i can't relax, can't sit still
run around in circles here until
i see your face again

devastation
04:32
|
|||
|
how long have i been lost out here
days and nights are all a blur
i'm somewhere in the forest by the harbour
the frozen sky is turning red
the helicopters over head
are loud enough to stall my heart's surrender
devastation
i'm half awake and half asleep
i'm lying in a snowy street
the flashing lights are brighter than the morning
is this for real or just a dream?
the city's just a memory
the evergreens are taller than the buildings
devastation
i heard you on the radio
and for a moment i was home
and i was walking with you in the garden
your voice was heavy, like the air
it's cold and heavy everywhere
i wish that i could carry one more burden
devastation
hold on, i hear them coming

eyes ahead
04:14
|

|
watching the fog roll in.
white and blue again.
downtown’s sufferin’,
but it’s warm in the west end.
she’s got to keep her eyes ahead. he said.
when the summer comes,
we’ll show our arms the sun.
flowers through the weeds,
peaches on the apple tree.
she’s got to keep her eyes ahead. he said.
cause we’ve seen the weight of it,
darker days we lived.
cause we’ve seen the weight of it,
darker weeks we lived.
the sun will lift the baby from the crib.
lights are flickering.
weather’s blowing in.
quieter than it’s been, and they’re pushing snow again.
we’ve got to keep our eyes ahead. she said
night time wandering,
wait til it begins.
we slept later then,
you wake us up every morning
we’ve got to keep our eyes ahead. next step
cause we’ve seen the weight of it,
darker days we lived.
cause we’ve seen the weight of it,
darker weeks we lived.
the sun will lift the baby from the crib.
the sun will lift the baby from the crib.
