Sink Or Swim 03:24

I’m home in a strange place empty rooms and drapes the shapes of alcaides Corner of my eye, I look too late Quarter to Four I watch the door I watch the wall, I watch the clock and try not To count backwards to where you are If I could live forever I would at least have time to tell you all the reasons why If I could breathe underwater,we’d find Atlantis take my hand You wouldn’t tell if I was crying But if this is it/throw me in/sink or swim/throw me in I watched the fog roll in that night, I’ve never seen it from this side Side-tracked. Eyes open wide. You’ll say ‘It’s been there all along. So what’s wrong. You wanna feel it when it’s gone? Take my palm,and come on. Lay me down across this bay, if can find the words I’ll tell you What’s been on my mind I wish I could breathe underwater, we’d find Atlantis take my hand If it’s not too late to try But if this is it/throw me in/sink or swim/throw me in

You can almost hear the change, you softly say my name but you’re not here anymore And I’m stuck on this ride, yes I put in my change a ticket sold to play the game New romances you take your chances, fall in love in the rain can’t win if you don’t play We play oh we play I’m cut off/if you can’t bare to hear the question I don’t know why I ask, I just take it back Hold on. You change your mind, turn around, I’ll hold you every time Relax. I don’t have the answer All I know/is you give and you go/you give and you go You’re a firecracker waiting to explode All I know/is you give and you go/give and you go You’re a firecracker in my hand waiting for me to let go So you can explode You drove away/clearest night of August all I could say was ‘whenever you need it, baby I’m here all day’ Just wanted to feel it/before it goes away. I hear rain now/stuck in this basement suite and I feel chained down like a shadow at your feet Never finding the right angles to be seen Show me you’re love or let me know why you give and you go you give and you go You’re a firecracker waiting to explode All I know all I know is you give and you go you give and you go You’re a firecracker in my hand waiting for me to let go So you can explode.

I'll Find An Ocean 04:57
lyrics
buy track
Out in the wind/up on a wire/I let you in/I set this house on fire Try not to lean left/not to lean right into you Balancing day between night/I couldn’t fool you Don’t be offended/don’t be offended So I let go the past/try not to hold back/but I wanted it all and I wanted it fast Climb every tree that I might write your name in branches I saw the danger in sight/still I took my chances Don’t be offended don’t be offended While I climb higher up/don’t look down/don’t give up I am out on my own/show me a sign/or let me down slow I need a way down So give me a boat/give me an oar/I’ll find an ocean Out in the wind/up on a wire/I let you in I set this house on fire But I throw this away/take your eyes off me now/I need a place way out of this town A rock that’ll ground me/settle me down Don’t be offended/don’t be offended

The Montreal Train Song 04:16
lyrics

Here we are/5province lines are in between/you called me ‘player’ but we both know you hold the Queen I’m not far/I’m 10 digits from your palm and more or less I’ve been alone/so just call You’re misleading me/or I’m misreading either way feels like someone else’s story/somewhere far away So pick up the microphone/turn up your stereo does your heart vibration guide you’re way home? To me To Me To Me I’ve been up all night sitting at the end of a bar cause you keep waiting on these stars to guide our way Break down all the walls that set our worlds apart if this love don’t lead me this way It don’t lead me this way I can define these lines/the smiles you left behind/they have faded so tired of waiting I’m so tired I’m not far/an envelope and a postal code/ I’m 10 digits from your palm but you don’t call You’re misleading me/stop misleading me/writing letters to the moon knowing they’ll never get to you Pick up the microphone/turn up your stereo does your heart vibration guide your way home To me

Lightning Bolts 02:58
lyrics

I’m the first thing that you see/the last thing that you need oh this love you turned your back on me Bring me high/leave me low/I saw a light shine over me/I saw love I saw buildings light up gold/and you kissed me/under lightning bolts The last thing that you said was the first thing that I started repeating/alone in my head I turned and you were gone/suddenly I just stopped believing every word that you said I saw buildings light up gold/and you kissed me/under lightning bolts I saw the stars light up the sky/wished on them all night for you to take me home I saw buildings light up gold/and you kissed me/and you sent me home I saw the stars light up the sky/wished on them all night/for lightning bolts
