WAVES
They told me don’t dive in too deep
The rocks are harder at the bottom of the sea
You’re just a small fish with a big story
You’ll get lost down there
I didn’t hear the lies they told
I threw myself into the cold
I found smaller fins a thousand fold
Was glorified and ensnared
I cried,
I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation
No defense is good enough
You’ll have to learn, this sea is tough
I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation
It’s not your plight, but never mind
The devil is a close friend of mine
I swam from shore to shore
Went on a tour of the ocean floor
On every bigger fish, I declared war
And won
I rode the lacy waves curling in
But craved the velvet touch of air again
As soon as I leapt out, I was condemned
I could swim but couldn’t run
He cried,
I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation
No defense is good enough
You’ll have to learn, this land is tough
I’ll eat you for the hope of salvation
It’s not your plight, but never mind
The devil is a close friend of mine
Sometimes, I’m not so good
But you don’t always have to be good at what you love
God isn’t that the truth
MR. BLUE EYES
Hey, Mr. Blue Eyes
Don’t go outside
I can’t stand to see you go
Hey, Mr. Blue Eyes
Don’t go outside
For it may be goodbye
We’ve got no arrow to follow
So we’ll follow the sunset
The stars and the moon
We’ve got no arrows to follow home
So we’ll follow the sunset
The stars and the moon
Hey, Mr. Blue Eyes
Don’t go outside
I can’t stand to see you go
Hey, Mr. Blue Eyes
Don’t go outside
For it may be goodbye
GOOD GOODBYE
Fall is hanging from a tree branch
Like the leaves that tumble down
The air is made of gold and spice
And babe, we’re rollin’ round in the dirt
But it’s okay ‘cause autumn sun has kissed my cheek
And if I could I’d catch the wind for you
Winter’s playing hide and seek
My cheeks are glowing amaranth pink
And babe, you’re beautiful when the snow shines
We’ll hide away in blankets twisted ‘round our feet
While pristine angels guard the door
It’s a good goodbye
When auburn skies become ivory nights
When these months are on repeat
We’re on repeat, you’re on my mind
It’s a good goodbye
Spring is skipping through the creek
On rocks we through from drier ground
Flowers tease my ankles
Babe, it’s raining hard but I don’t care
The lightning strikes and lights us up
A crackle says the sky is waking up
Summer’s almost over now
The night is cool, the moon is out
My toes stick to the soft green grass
Babe, this is our last night for a while
But it’s alright ‘cause seasons come and go
And I’ll be back when falling leaves turn into snow
My lovebird, please don’t fly away
It’s a good goodbye
When cloudy skies make room for earth shine
When these months are on repeat
We’re on repeat, you’re on my mind
It’s a good goodbye
SUN KISS
Let me be your secret stardust
Nightcap blondie
Midnight suits us well
My darling
Let me be your little sailor
Full moon flower
Starlight leads us well
My darling
Whisper, lover, don’t make a sound
I’m still dreamin’, don’t wanna be found
Seashore sweetheart, lead the way
I’m still dreamin’ of our perfect day
My legs grew out of the sand
You’ve got sun rays in your hands
Let’s take a walk and never look back
Unless we’re counting shoe steps in the sand
If I had you
Maybe this daydream could come true
If I had you
Even on a night without a moon
Champagne supernova in a motel room
I’m charmed and tryin’ to be cool
Ocean eyes, let me swim in you
You only exist when there is a moon
If sunsets could speak
This one would say to me
Go take a walk and never look back
Unless you’re counting shoe steps in the sand
If I had you
Maybe this daydream could come true
If I had you
Even on a night without a moon
Say I love you
So that this daydream could come true
And if I do too
Maybe this daydream could come true
Let me be your secret stardust
Nightcap blondie
Midnight suits us well
My darling
PHONECALL SONG
I’ve got a lot to look forward to
Like tellin’ you I told you so
I’ve got a lot to look forward to
You’ve got a lot to be shown
I’ve got a lot to think about
Why won’t you hang up the phone
I’ve got a lot to think about
Now I’m here thinkin’ alone
You want to do this your own way
Don’t give a damn what they say
I’ve got a lot of growin’ up to do
Now that you’re on your own
I’ve got a lot of growin’ up to do
Thought I was already grown
You want to do this your own way
Don’t give a damn what they say
You want to do this the hard way
Don’t give a damn if it’s a mistake
I’ve got a lot that I’d hate to do (x 8)
A lot of it I’ve already done
MAY AND OCTOBER
Her leaves, just sprung from the stem
Her petals, still buds growing in
She felt the wind pick her up
Floating, falling buttercup
His breeze smelled of pepper and old books
His trees held spider webs and hidden nooks
He felt a chill in his bones
Falling leaves on cobblestone
All he ever wanted was the innocence of spring
Everything she wished for was the wisdom found in memory
So the wind rose she and he
And landed flower bud by autumn leaf
And May fell in love with October
I’ve been falling for you
I’ve been sinking fast
I’ve been trying to hold on
For the fear of breaking bones when I land
I’ve been falling for you
I’ve been sinking fast
I’ve been trying to hold on
For the fear of breaking bones when I land
I’ve been calling for you
You’ve been screaming loud
Crying out
Oh, pick me up
Blow the clouds away
Hey pick me up
Bring the sunshine for forever
Oh, buttercup
These days are long and dreary
Oh, buttercup
I need you here with me
All he ever wanted was the innocence of spring
Everything she wished for was the wisdom found in memory
So the wind rose she and he
And landed flower bud by autumn leaf
And May fell in love...
All he ever wanted was the innocence of spring
Everything she wished for was the wisdom found in memory
So the wind rose she and he
And landed flower bud by autumn leaf
And May fell in love with October
