I came in for the embers
And stayed out for the breeze
I need to feel elements to remind me
There's beauty when it's bleak
Stuck out long before lights down
When do I breathe?
Oh, I know
The more that I love, the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal, but I know
Maybe I won't, but the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
Stones crashed on the boardwalk
Wind rushed through the trees
I'll keep my eyes peeled
Memories always fall short
With what we could've been
Let the longed for last call
What do I need?
Oh, I know
The more that I love, the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal, but I know
Maybe I won't, but the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
But the waves won't break my boat
The more that I love, the less that I feel
The times that I jumped never were real
They say that all scars will heal, but I know
Maybe I won't, but the waves won't break my boat

Salt Water
There's still so far to go and I can't feel my toes
When the rain soaks through the heels and slips to the sole
Yeah, the blades are two feet tall
I wade in green, I'm moving forward, to where? God only knows
Feel the wind's harsh refrain like the clouds gripped my face
Saying, "It's alright to run from all this pain"
Oh, and when it's time to go with one last breath that's in my lungs
I'll scream, "It's all for love"
I'll scream, "It's all for love"
Come and kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
I can see it up ahead where the sky meets the ground
And after that, there's only moving gray
I am filled up with regret
With things I did or never said, just leave that well alone
And come kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
It was just a dream
It was just a dream
It was just a dream
Was it just a dream?
Now I'm standing on the edge, gazing into hell
Or is it somethin' else? I just can't tell
When there's nothin' left, I close my eyes and take one step
Say, "Well, here it goes", I'll say, "Well, here it goes"
Come and kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
When the rain soaks through the heels and slips to the sole
Yeah, the blades are two feet tall
I wade in green, I'm moving forward, to where? God only knows
Feel the wind's harsh refrain like the clouds gripped my face
Saying, "It's alright to run from all this pain"
Oh, and when it's time to go with one last breath that's in my lungs
I'll scream, "It's all for love"
I'll scream, "It's all for love"
Come and kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
I can see it up ahead where the sky meets the ground
And after that, there's only moving gray
I am filled up with regret
With things I did or never said, just leave that well alone
And come kiss me, salt water
Oh, finally, I feel, at three or four degrees
I'm free in salt water
Embrace the deep and leave everything
It was just a dream
It was just a dream
It was just a dream
It was just a dream
Was it just a dream?
Now I'm standing on the edge, gazing into hell
Or is it somethin' else? I just can't tell
When there's nothin' left, I close my eyes and take one step

Eyes Closed
I know it's a bad idea
But how can I help myself?
Been inside for most this year
And I thought a few drinks, they might help
It's been a while, my dear
Dealin' with the cards life dealt
I'm still holdin' back these tears
While my friends are somewhere else
I pictured this year a little bit different when it hit February
I step in the bar, it hit me so hard, oh, how can it be this heavy?
Every song reminds me you're gone and I feel the lump form in my throat
'Cause I'm here alone
Just dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
So I'll keep dancin' with my
Delusion is here again
And I think you'll come home soon
A word brings me right back in
Then it's only me that's in this room
I guess I could just pretend
The colors are more than blue
But I lost more than my friend
I can't help but missin' you
I pictured this month a little bit different, no one is ever ready
And when it unfolds, you get in a hole, oh, how can it be this heavy?
Everything changes, nothing's the same, except the truth is now you're gone
And life just goes on
So I'm dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
And time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
So I'll keep dancin' with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Oh, I keep dancin' with my
They're shutting the bar, they're cleanin' the floor
And everyone is already home
But I'm on my own
Still dancin' with my eyes closed
'Cause everywhere I look, I still see you
Time is movin' so slow
And I don't know what else that I can do
So I'll keep dancin' with my
Eye-eye-eye-eyes
Eye-eye-eye-eyes closed

Life Goes On
It hit like a dream, I ran out of words
I got nothing to say, everything hurts
And I know love needs the pain
Memories serve our sweetest refrain
The waves came tumbling down
As you float away
Reaching for ya
So tell me how
How our life goes on with you gone
I suppose I sink like a stone
If you leave me now
All the stumps will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
But I miss the things that needed reason
Oh, I remember the way that you've looked at me first
And all the heart that you changed
But you'll never know just like tears in the rain
Mm, mm, mm
The constant grey in the clouds
When I hear your name
I think of love
So tell me how
How our life goes on with you gone
I suppose I sink like a stone
If you leave me now
All the stumps will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
Ah, yeah
Life goes on
Ah, yeah
I watched the sun setting down
I am so afraid
I need you now
So tell me how
How our life goes on with you gone
I suppose I sink like a stone
If you leave me now
All the stumps will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
I got nothing to say, everything hurts
And I know love needs the pain
Memories serve our sweetest refrain
The waves came tumbling down
As you float away
Reaching for ya
So tell me how
How our life goes on with you gone
I suppose I sink like a stone
If you leave me now
All the stumps will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
But I miss the things that needed reason
Oh, I remember the way that you've looked at me first
And all the heart that you changed
But you'll never know just like tears in the rain
Mm, mm, mm
The constant grey in the clouds
When I hear your name
I think of love
So tell me how
How our life goes on with you gone
I suppose I sink like a stone
If you leave me now
All the stumps will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
Ah, yeah
Life goes on
Ah, yeah
I watched the sun setting down
I am so afraid
I need you now
So tell me how
How our life goes on with you gone
I suppose I sink like a stone

All the stumps will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on

Dusty
I heard you callin', now my eyes were open babe
The day's breaking in the powder blue
Sunlight's framin' now in every mornin'
What a way to start off the day with you
I'll flick a finger
I start a discussion to pick a singer
This one will do, I had to bring her
Just at the speaker, still give away
And drop the needle on Dusty
Crossed on leaves, the moment came out of nowhere
A beautiful smile on your face
Yesterday was a long night, but I got a feeling that the future is so bright
All of the pressure washed away in no time
Now we gotta wait 'til the clothes have gone dry
So I'll drop the needle on Dusty
I'll leave the lust with you, lost in the ocean
Nobody knew what you're goin' through
You talk about it as if I chose you
Take a breathe and grace following with you
I'll flick a finger
Before the magic to do his thing, yeah
There's more than sadness we got within us
Let's put some color into the grey
And drop the needle on Dusty
Crossed on leaves, the moment came out of nowhere
A beautiful smile on your face
Yesterday was a long night, but I got a feeling that the future is so bright
All of the pressure washed away in no time
Now we gotta wait 'til the clothes have gone dry
So I'll drop the needle on Dusty
Up in the stairs the stereo follows
Moved on the edge to throw it all away
I used to think whatever situation stays the same
But I can see it's goin' to change, okay
I'll drop the needle on Dusty
Crossed on leaves, the moment came out of nowhere
A beautiful smile on your face
Yesterday was a long night, but I got a feeling that the future is so bright
All of the pressure washed away in no time
Now we gotta wait 'til the clothes have gone dry
So I'll drop the needle on Dusty
I drop the needle on Dusty
I drop the needle on Dusty
I drop the needle on Dusty
The day's breaking in the powder blue
Sunlight's framin' now in every mornin'
What a way to start off the day with you

End of Youth
I've been depressed since you left, try to the fill the hole with wine
Stop the drugs when she came, cleaned my act overnight
If you reach with no reply, see you when I see your man
You can't talk to me through the phone if we don't a f*cking line
I try to grow but the past, it tears me down to side
There's still the world out to process but don't take the same advice
I remember what I sang, that the morning's filled with fear
Can't get a handle of my grief, when I remember it turns to tears
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
Is this the end of your youth? When pain starts taking over
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's falling apart, our love is real, it never closes
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but be alone
We spend our youth with our losing hearts wide open
And in the dark, it's in the next, the end of youth
I've been lost since the tears but the time's all alright
On my own, slip and falls, I have been trying with my life
Just a boy who can't stop feelings all coming in
You were meant to be my friend and now it's a shame that you can't
It's the age to create, gotta remember you
No one knows what they want, just give you what I feel
And I'm still feeling higher, all alone is always near
When I'm down but I never see you, when I'm up you are up here
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway wait
Is this the end of your youth? When pain starts taking over
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's falling apart, our love is real, it never closes
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but be alone
We spend our youth with our losing hearts wide open
And in the dark, it's in the next, the end of youth
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
It's been a long year and we're not even halfway there
Is this the end of your youth? When pain starts taking over
I just don't know if I can ever just let it go
Everything's falling apart, our love is real, it never closes
I guess it's all part of life, but I can't help but be alone
We spend our youth with our losing hearts wide open
And in the dark, it's in the next, the end of youth
We spend our youth with our losing hearts wide open

Colourblind
Kaleidoscope love, yeah, that is you and me
Forever changing, we make life interesting
Some days we're red and, some days we both ain't green
But I like the nights when we leave the canvas free
Grab a brush and see where the feeling may lead
Nothing is out of our reach
Your words are flecks in each pigment we need
Can we get started?
I keep falling, deeper and dark blue
Brighter than white
The wind goes, exploding
But I can't see nothing since you and your eyes
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
In every spectrum, we find a million of pics
Connect the dots and everything in between
Don't leave the moment, you turn it gold and leave
You take the dark away, and that's on easy feet
Picking our end, watch the shape change in the heart
From yellow, purple and green
Your words are flecks in each pigment we need
Can we get started?
I keep falling, deeper and dark blue
Brighter than white
The wind goes, exploding
But I can't see nothing since you and your eyes
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
Maybe we'll just paint the night colorblind
Forever changing, we make life interesting
Some days we're red and, some days we both ain't green

Curtains
Can you pull the curtains? Let me see the sun shine
I think I'm done with my hiding place
And you found my anyway
It's been forever but I'm feeling alright
Tears dry, we'll leave no trace
And tomorrow's another day
Hide and seek
I am somewhere close away
You won't leave
How long it's been since we started the game?
I can't be seen
And you won't find me today
I can't be
This love, I'll be okay
"Are you alright?" Baby, don't ask
'Cause you know I never like to talk about that
The inside, see, I always go back
And I always will, obviously
Is it in your childhood? See, there's nothing in your past
But the sadness, promise that it won't last
And the back hurt, I'm tryna take it all back
And there's still more underneath
And that's when you say to me
"Can you pull the curtains? Let me see the sun shine
I think I'm done with my hiding place
And you found my anyway
It's been forever but I'm feeling alright
Tears dry, we'll leave no trace
And tomorrow's another day"
Let me see the sun shine, shine, shine
Let me see the sun shine, shine, shine
Let me see the sun shine, shine, shine
Let me see the sun shine
Hide and seek
Count to ten and close your eyes
Try to breathe
See a message and no reply
Nice to meet
But in reality say goodbye
Life can be so beautiful with the drive
"Are you okay?" Yeah, I guess so
But in some days feels like I'm trapped in a hole
But I keep the quit so the ones around me don't know
The mountain feels so still
And you say that I'm here and that I don't have to carry it alone
And the outside pays in your soul
Still fighting the dark 'cause you leave me so cold
The days not out of reach
And that's when you say to me
"Can you pull the curtains? Let me see the sun shine
I think I'm done with my hiding place
And you found my anyway
It's been forever but I'm feeling alright
Tears dry, we'll leave no trace
And tomorrow's another day"
Let me see the sun shine, shine, shine
Let me see the sun shine, shine, shine
Let me see the sun shine, shine, shine
Let me see the sun shine
I think I'm done with my hiding place
And you found my anyway
It's been forever but I'm feeling alright

Borderline
Sadness always finds a man
Seeks it's way by, infecting everything
And every chapter has an end
But this is one I've learned to seek, hold on to them
And the black birds, they fly
Like I fell on the skyline
But I, I fear
Running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Sharing my eyes
Wondering why I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I
'Cause I should take this, I'm a champ
But I don't even know how all of this began
And we are made to mourn and then
How can I wish for nothing when it's still the same?
But now I fear
Running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Sharing my eyes
Wondering why I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I
Tears never run
There's no such way
We are so low
We're on the borderline
We're on the borderline
So I will pour another drink
I try to drown the pain, it's all too long away
I shut off the things I think
'Cause nothing good will ever come from me
But now I fear
Running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Sharing my eyes
Wondering why I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I
Tears never run
There's no such way
We are so low
Seeks it's way by, infecting everything
And every chapter has an end
But this is one I've learned to seek, hold on to them
And the black birds, they fly
Like I fell on the skyline
But I, I fear
Running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Sharing my eyes
Wondering why I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I
'Cause I should take this, I'm a champ
But I don't even know how all of this began
And we are made to mourn and then
How can I wish for nothing when it's still the same?
But now I fear
Running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Sharing my eyes
Wondering why I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I
Tears never run
There's no such way
We are so low
We're on the borderline
We're on the borderline
So I will pour another drink
I try to drown the pain, it's all too long away
I shut off the things I think
'Cause nothing good will ever come from me
But now I fear
Running from the light
Engulfed in darkness
Sharing my eyes
Wondering why I'm stuck on the borderline
Which way will I
Tears never run
There's no such way
We are so low

Spark
We've been lost for a long time
In a rut, no escape signs
And for love, we were so blind
Oh, I hate to see you cry
There've been times where the truth lied
Now it's clear as a blue sky
Like a Band-Aid over deeper cuts, we tried
But couldn't stop the fate descending on the night
We'll build a fire
And torch our old life
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
Oh, I wonder will we pull through?
All we ever do is argue
With not a lot, but we make do
How I wish you wouldn't say that
There are things you can't take back
When you leave, I always face facts
Like a hand that's trying to hold the water back
We couldn't stop the ocean leaking in the cracks
We'll build a fire
And torch our old life
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
We've taken roads (oh, we've taken roads)
That led to confusion
But right now that don't matter at all (nah, nah)
We'll bring it back (yeah, we'll bring it back)
Our love's no illusion
The higher we go, the harder we fall and now
We'll build a fire
And torch our old life
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
And we hope the spark survives
In a rut, no escape signs
And for love, we were so blind
Oh, I hate to see you cry

Vega
Rain keeps meeting on our rooftop, mind the glass
But god, I love the sound of Hell
Sad crumps spreading on the carpet
Listening to a vinyl, trying to ignore the web
This week was heavy, I buckle on the road
What can you do but pray?
And count your blessings, there wasn't any other way
Don't leave it all to faith
Follow the tide by the waves
They all part
Love the night we run in
To be stars
But it burns like Hell
To be Vega
Clouds keep falling over this house
Blocking out the sun, I'm tryna keep it all together
One door closes then one opens
Gotta keep the focus, if we believe then she'll get better
The days are long but then they pass and then an instance breaks
It is the strangest thing
I count my blessings, the day I see you smile again
It's what we've got to win
Keeping inside, don't ever want
See your heart
No one can judge, we're the same
In the dark
Follow the tide by the waves
They all part
Love the night we run in
To be stars
But it burns like Hell
To be Vega
Same problems, different oceans
It comes at a cost, but we've got this
Need to rest but need time now
She'll be fine, she'll be fine
Same problems, different oceans
It comes at a cost, but we've got this
Need to rest but need time now
She'll be fine, she'll be fine
Rain keeps beating on the rooftop, pouring into death
I guess this is human nature
We all made to shine like stars but don't mean it don't burn
Like Hell to be Vega
But god, I love the sound of Hell
Sad crumps spreading on the carpet
Listening to a vinyl, trying to ignore the web
This week was heavy, I buckle on the road
What can you do but pray?
And count your blessings, there wasn't any other way
Don't leave it all to faith
Follow the tide by the waves
They all part
Love the night we run in
To be stars
But it burns like Hell
To be Vega
Clouds keep falling over this house
Blocking out the sun, I'm tryna keep it all together
One door closes then one opens
Gotta keep the focus, if we believe then she'll get better
The days are long but then they pass and then an instance breaks
It is the strangest thing
I count my blessings, the day I see you smile again
It's what we've got to win
Keeping inside, don't ever want

Like Hell to be Vega

Sycamore
Sycamore in the summer, buried in leaves
Swing and pushing our daughter underneath
Flowers building the garden, spring breeze
Just imagine the world were we could be
Right now in the waiting room, emotions running wild
Worried 'bout my lover and I'm worried 'bout a child
Part of me was always in denial
It's gonna take a little while
But in our story, loving, lover
We are glorious
We're in our story, loving, lover
We are glorious
Sycamore and the shivering beating sun
Nothing more than a loaded smoking gun
What a pleasant is this, to be in love
To be plating the weeds and dig them up
Waiting on professionals to tell you how it is
What's he gonna say after, "I think you better sit"
Places and something's are about to hit
It's gonna take a little while
But in our story, loving, lover
We are glorious
We're in our story, loving, lover
We are glorious
We're in our story, loving, lover
We are glorious
We're in our story, loving, lover
We are glorious
Sycamore in the field, a lonely tree
Darling, what will become of you and me?
Swing and pushing our daughter underneath
Flowers building the garden, spring breeze
Just imagine the world were we could be
Right now in the waiting room, emotions running wild
Worried 'bout my lover and I'm worried 'bout a child
Part of me was always in denial

No Strings
If you and I keep doing this, yeah
Then nothing can break us
Trouble leaves in real pace
But we're sure we can take it
We take our Hell
And overthink it
What can get burned out
But this is no strings
You are who I love
And that won't change
When we're falling apart
Yeah, this is no strings
You are who I love
It's just growing pains
If we make it through this, yeah
We should celebrate it
Rarify atmosphere
'Til now we evaded
We tore the walls down
To build them up
Never was in doubt
'Cause this is no strings
You are who I love
And that won't change
When we're falling apart
Yeah, this is no strings
You are who I love
It's just growing pains
We did not fight for love
Just to let it be defeated
What we're going through is going but
Doesn't mean we don't feel it
Would be easy just to give it up
'Cause we got enough reason
Every time that we have come undone
We'll it's no strings
You are who I love
And that won't change
Then nothing can break us
Trouble leaves in real pace
But we're sure we can take it
We take our Hell
And overthink it

The Hills of Aberfeldy
Oh, leaves are covered in snow
And the water's frozen
Oh, I long for you to be the one that I'm holding
And warm me down to my bones
As you lay beside me, hold me close
Oh, leaves are starting to fall
And the sun goes cold
And my heart might break from the way of it all
For all that I know
You could be holding someone, yes, it's cold
So when I'm home
I'll hold you like I'm supposed to
Yet I know
I have never told you
Darling, we fall in love with the hills of Aberfeldy
Oh, the ground is slowly mounting
And the sun beats strong
And I feel like my feet may have wondered too long
And I will remain here alone
'Cause I fear that you may have found someone
So when I'm home
I'll hold you like I'm supposed to
Yet I know
I have never told you
Darling, we fall in love with the hills of Aberfeldy
Darling, we fall in love with the hills of Aberfeldy
And the water's frozen
Oh, I long for you to be the one that I'm holding
And warm me down to my bones
As you lay beside me, hold me close
Oh, leaves are starting to fall
And the sun goes cold
And my heart might break from the way of it all
For all that I know
You could be holding someone, yes, it's cold
So when I'm home
I'll hold you like I'm supposed to
Yet I know
I have never told you
Darling, we fall in love with the hills of Aberfeldy
Oh, the ground is slowly mounting
And the sun beats strong
And I feel like my feet may have wondered too long
And I will remain here alone
'Cause I fear that you may have found someone
So when I'm home
I'll hold you like I'm supposed to
Yet I know
I have never told you
Darling, we fall in love with the hills of Aberfeldy
Darling, we fall in love with the hills of Aberfeldy
