With You on this Beach
We're all going to a summer sunset
Non stop dancing for a week or two
Lost on a river by the big blue ocean
No more fast life for me and you
For a week or two
I can't wait to do some dancing with you
You can't wait to do some dancing with me
wish all days could be X3
With you on this beach
Any warmer and well take over the ocean
We’ll take the waves and make them dance up high
I can't wait to do some dancing with you
You can't wait to do some dancing with me
wish all days could be X3
With you on this beach

Lonely Together
One minute you’re there
The next you are dropping
You must think that Im lonely
One minute there
The next you are floppin
You must think that Im lonely
Im the happy one
just stop your fracture
Im the happy one
You can see
Its worse at night and better at day
I hope you don’t think Im lonely
One minute youre swearing
& The next day you’re fighting
You must think that Im lonely
You curse and you swear and you do it anywhere
You must think that Im lonely
Im the happy one
just stop your fracture
Im the happy one
You can see
Its worse at night and better at day
I hope you don’t think Im lonely

Afraid a Little Bit
02:04
|
|||
|
Voiceless and useless
Quiet down and do your work
How you feel don’t matter
So pipe down
the future’s not distant
Our fate is on the wall
How can they throw us down a well?
Does your conscience lay
6 get underground?
Do you sleep at night?
Because I don’t do so well
How I feel and what I say
Is brushed aside, “just act your age”
Just do your job and do real good
You might get sick, but thats understood
Just be a man
Does your conscience lay
6 get underground?
Do you sleep at night?
Because I don’t do so well
Im ok to admit, Im afraid a little bit

Due For a Re-Do

Due For a Re-Do
My face is turning backwards
and Im falling to the ground
Im nothin’ but a pile of wasted dreams not said out loud
It’s true
Im due for a re-do
If I could have my time back
Yes I’d sell all of my stuff
My songs and life packed in a car, that would be enough
It’s true
Im due for a re-do
This 9-5 makes it hard to feel alive, don’t it?
If I could take back all my years, I’d quit
Drive across the country just sharing all my songs
Meeting tones of people, sharing laughs you cant go wrong
It’s true
Im due for a re-do
If I could travel back in time, I’d go and tell myself
That money shouldn’t matter, whats important is your health
It’s true
Im due for a re-do
This 9-5 makes it hard to feel alive, don’t it?
If I could take back all my years, I’d quit
I like to dream of what could be
It could be worse with rougher seas

I'll Shut My Mouth
02:31
|
|||
|
Taking in the silence, soaking in the science
After all the chaos, Im begging for a layoff
Day by day break my spirits some more
Always really dreading heading out the door
Not feeling myself at all
Ill shut my mouth, need to listen to the times
Belting out songs helps my heart inside
Dance, dance till you cant no more
Give it all you got till youre dead on the floor
Laying still, just as silent as can be
That sounds good to me
Shut up and stay patient, That’s what Im always saying’
Im at the point of breaking, the toll my heart is taking

Time To Turn Off
02:52
|
|||
|
They say everybody’s got one
Thats never been more true
so many on their soap box
to force their point of view
Why cant it stop?
What does it prove?
What’s the point?
Do you think we’re listening
Thirsting for you thoughts?
We hold our cards close
So the case is often not
Why cant it stop?
What does it prove?
What’s the point?
Are we meant to be so exposed to too much?
Are we meant to know the thoughts of everyone?
Im so overwhelmed
And I cant get my head straight
I think Its time to turn off from all
So everybody’s talkin of topics all the same
Of hate and sadness that plagues our world today
Why cant it stop?
What does it prove?
What’s the point?
Why cant it stop?
What does it prove?
What’s the point?
Are we meant to be so exposed to too much?
Are we meant to know the thoughts of everyone?
Im so overwhelmed
And I cant get my head straight
I think Its time to turn off from all

Autumn Wish

Autumn Wish
I love the sound of falling leaves
Rustling themselves to the ground
A moment like this, some time to breathe
An autumn wish is what we need
It’s times like this, that makes me wish
thatd she moves winds like she moved me oh
Maybe we’ll stay out in the cold
Moments like this, they won’t grow old
Time might have stopped, but I cant tell
Time to get back, back to feeling’ well
I don’t know where the time has went
Worried of the day and the nights descent
Time might have stopped, but all is well
Ill never go back, so please don’t tell
I love the smell of fresh laid frost
Sparkling as not all is lost
Moments like this, NO NEED TO FREEZE
When we are watching falling leaves

Lost in Disguise
02:24

Lost in Disguise
In the shadows I’d
stay lost in this disguise
You may not hear a word
but I don’t want to talk
This common talk
All this listening
is making my head scream
Everyone at odds
I don’t want to talk
This matters talk
If I know whats good for me
Ill stay a fly up on the wall
keep it quiet while listening
Ensure not to be seen
To be ignored by the machine
To go about being me
Although this all is clear
You might not want to hear
I might not want to share
And thats ok to do
You just do you
If I know whats good for me
Ill stay a fly up on the wall
keep it quiet while listening
Ensure not to be seen
To be ignored by the machine
To go about being me
Ensure not to be seen
To be ignored by the machine
To go about being me

Colourations
03:20
|
|||
|
THIS afternoon I said to myself,
"Why aren't memories more old?"
Down, down, down into the darkness of the night,
Gently they go away
I cannot help but stop and look at colorations of that night
I cannot help but stop and look at this bandage.
One fine day I made peace with myself,
Old scars turned new days
Turn, turn, turn, I cant wait to take off
Quietly, Ill go away
I cannot help but stop and look at colorations of that night
I cannot help but stop and look at this bandage
Its so confused.
A harsh reminder
forever etched

Modern Depression
03:02
|
|||
|
Money can’t buy you happiness
But not having it makes me sad
Cant drive away, it costs too much
I’ll guess ill just stay and exist
The cost is going up
While wages stay the same
These are some reasons I hate this world today
The price of food, it hurts
The cost of gas is the worst
Haven’t seen a doctor in a couple years
My mind is full of madness and I need to clear
Ill take it day by day
But this sucks out my soul
I always work so hard and live within my means
This disconnect and there’s no in-between
When it hurts your wallet just to eat
You’re told to shut your mouth and take your seat
Some corporate swine man, feasting in his trough
With a fortune taken from the small
The cost is going up
While wages stay the same
These are some reasons I hate this world today
The price of food, it hurts
The cost of gas is the worst
Haven’t seen a doctor in a couple years
My mind is full of madness and I need to clear
Ill take it day by day
But this sucks out my soul
I always work so hard and live within my means
This disconnect and there’s no in-between
The cost is going up
While wages stay the same
These are some reasons I hate this world today

The clouds moving fast
Past the ground and the sky
Just look up and see
The best is to come with clearer skies
The waters are cold and a dark hue of blue
They will get warm and brighten the seas
The air is so smooth as it enters my lungs
Breathe it in
Look around
Take some steps outside
Look at this day
Give thanks to the sun
The warmth is back there's not one complaint
Take it all in
Give thanks to the trees
Go along and see what you can see
An islands worth of beauty me to see
I'm blessed by thus land, the place where I live
The city life lacks and is just not for me
Days like to day make seasons confused
Winter time
Warm outside
Feel alive like the first time

This Little Illusion
02:12
|
|||
|
This little illusion
Takes up a lot of space
Because when the time’s right
Everybody’s diving in
It’s not worth the mention
It’s not worth a blank face
Its only point of focus when you’re really looking hard
All the point of view can take a hike
Take some time for you, prioritize
Turn off the glow and go outside
It’s time to unplug our lives
I don’t blame you for thinking the night through
But you gotta get some shut eye, time to get away from this
Thunder and lightening, now that stuff is excitin’
But you’re never gonna see if you don’t look up at the sky
All the point of view can take a hike
Take some time for you, prioritize
Turn off the glow and go outside
It’s time to unplug our lives

So Distracted
02:12
|
|||
|
Im so distracted
My head can never stay
Thoughts always shove each other out the way
Im so distracted
Im always not focused
Everything turns my head
Changing thoughts all the time
Its hard to keep its hard to keep things met
Im so distracted
Here I go x3
Here’s another thought
What was I thinking of before?
Got it back x3
No, I lost it again
I cant believe

Perfect Time
03:28
|
|||
|
Most days are hard
I wanna quit
But I push on
Because I don’t know any other way of life
But as I step out of the house
I stop there
Because I never wanna leave the house
I don’t want to be anywhere else
Cuz you and I - we got the perfect life
Only thing I don’t wanna do is say goodbye to you
But at the end of the day and I mean every single day
Is spent spending all this perfect time with you
Lets sail away across the globe
And don’t look back
Cuz I never wanna say goodbye again
No I never wanna say goodbye again

Kicking
02:28
|
|||
|
Could have been a has been,
now Im a never was
Could have been the best
But I quit way too young
I was all but focused
Making bad choices
I guess thats what your 20’s are for but I regret it
Not sticking with it
But my knees don’t work and I want to get back to kicking
I wanna get back, I wanna get back my shape
Almost in my 40’s
That ship has sailed along
If I could go back in time, I would tell me I was so wrong
I was all but focused
Making bad choices
I guess thats what your 20’s are for but I regret it
Not sticking with it
But my knees don’t work and I want to get back to kicking
I wanna get back, I wanna get back my shape
Could have seen the world with what I had
Hate to admit but I should have listened to dad
Live and learn and you just push on

Flying on Land
02:36
|
|||
|
Hello all, I am back again
Flying low at slow descent
Keep your Witts about you love
Look up now, Im just above
The sky has opened
Ill fly down
To meet you, my love on the ground
So do you think we’ll stay down here
Or will we go up in the clouds?
Lets make a choice
Being apart’s won’t fly
We’re flying on land tonight
Two hearts meet from different paths
How they crossed, I won’t ask
But once they met, they refuse to part
Two different souls sharing hearts
The ground it smiled, to me it said
You’re loves down here and she’s seeing red
So do you think we’ll stay down here
Or will we go up in the clouds?
Lets make a choice
Being apart’s won’t fly
We’re flying on land tonight

I'm Here
02:44
|

|
Does is make a sound
If you talk and no one’s around?
to hear your thoughts
You’re feeling lost
In a sea of many
Though they come plenty
You feel alone
So alone
When you yell
And it falls upon deaf ears
You crack
Or you snap
And you feel all the guilt
For letting it out
For letting it out
Maybe you need some help
But thats a big step to take
I guess you’re calling now
Before its too late
Before its too late
All ears seems deaf to you
No give or take, no caring when you’re blue
Or any time, you don’t exist
But you’re never alone
Because Im here
Oh I here
When you need a friend,
I have an ear to lend

I Miss You Mom & Dad
03:34
|
|||
|
Picked up my roots and ended up here
Leaving behind my now former life
for years and years, Id always go back
and I’d venture back to days now gone
Its been two years since Ive been back
It hurts my soul
Screen time and pictures just aren’t the same
As sharing a meal with your family again
Im doing my best to hold all this in
Can you blame me? For wanting to see my once home?
Its been two years since Ive been back
It hurts my soul X3 (C, G Am)
Chorus:
The strait between this island and the mainland
Is a wall between my loved ones and I
The circumstances may just take a back seat
Because mom and dad you need to see your son
The first thing Id do when I drive past that sign
Id go get some take out and share the surprise
Pull in the driveway and see everyone
Just go about their day
ts been two years since Ive been back
It hurts my soul X3 (C, G Am)
Chorus:
The strait between this island and the mainland
Is a wall between my loved ones and I
The circumstances may just take a back seat
Because mom and dad you need to see your son

Water Can't Say Goodbye
04:21
|

|
Drops of water come
.. and go and we don’t see
The long effects that come from years
Drops of water come and go and thats ok
Drops of water come
And go like people do
But people can come back and water cant
People come and go
And thats ok
water can’t stand up and say goodbye
It won’t shake your hand or look you in the eye
One thing that Ive learned is that water cant say goodbye
Crowds of people come
.. and go and we don’t see
The long effects that come from years
Crowds of people come and go and thats ok
water can’t stand up and say goodbye
It won’t shake your hand or look you in the eye
One thing that Ive learned is that water cant say goodbye
Don’t leave things alone
Don’t fear it
Say what you must say don’t hear it
Don’t leave with regrets

Im getting so close now
Im getting so close
So close to the end
The road’s had its rocks
This road’;s had its rocks
But I went around
You just gotta push
And get the job done
But its ok to pause
To look out for number one
Im lucky to have
Yes Im lucky to have
All this love and support
Straight from my heart
Yes, straight from my heart
I give all the thanks
I just have to push
And get the job done
But its ok to pause
To look out for number one
I give it my all every single day
Thank you for noticing and giving a day
I just have to push
And get the job done
But its ok to pause
To look out for number one

A Letter
03:24
|
|||
|
This is a letter, to my old self
Ill start off with some praise, you turn out fine
But the path that we took not so much
You’ll have some late nights, a few too much
You’ll focus on the good times, not who counts
And you’ll settle for who’s EVER around
I was caught up with good times
Leaving all that counts behind
Im telling you Id live those days again
Now I wanna make everything right
Now with those late nights, I was at the bar
Thinking I would further all these songs
When in fact I was too gone to think
I should have been home or on the road
Time had told a tale, now Ive grown old
And my wiseness a decade too late
I was caught up with good times
Leaving all that counts behind
Im telling you Id live those days again
Now I wanna make everything right
This is a letter to myself
Whats done is done, now leave it on the shelf
Live and learn its a fate I have to take
I was caught up with good times
Leaving all that counts behind
Im telling you Id live those days again
Now I wanna make everything right

Let Change In
02:44
|

|
Seasons change but slowly over time
I wanna see the change but to that I am blind____
I am blind____
People change, they do it every day
They clean up their act and throw their bad habits away
they throw them Away
It’s never too late to give it up
YOu’ll be thankful for yourself
But change won’t come unless you let it
Get your mind in gear and let it in
Oh let it in x4
Everyone has things they really want to do
and on my list is self improve
self improve
Taking time for yourself every day
Its part of self care and thats ok!
Thats ok
It’s never too late to give it up
YOu’ll be thankful for yourself
But change won’t come unless you let it
Get your mind in gear and let it in
Oh let it in x4

Lost at Sea
03:38
|
|||
|
Id like to be lost at sea with you
on a boat we made our own
On the sunny days
Or the stormy windy nights
It’d be all right and make sense
With you
Making a go of a different life
With your love by your side
On the lonely days
Or through all the excite
It’d be all right and make sense
With you
Im not one bit opposed to this
To to sail into the sky
Because any day spent alone with you
Is a day to light up my life
I’d like to see every night sky with you
To share the rolls and swells
smooth wind that fills our sails
And of course some time alone
It’d be all right and make sense
With you
Im not one bit opposed to this
To to sail into the sky
Because any day spent alone with you
Is a day to light up my life

When Lights Go Out
03:38
|

|
The day got cold
The night sky wept
This windy time has never left
The rain it poured
The lights went out
Now all is still without a sound
Prechorus
We got outselves
Just you and I
With this flame thats close by
We’ll make the best
Of this cold night
Ill hold you close
Until its light
Prechorus
When we look back on this night
Do you think we’ll look back and smile?
You know I love nothing more than nights like this
You know I love our time when lights go out
You know I love our time when lights go out
The Peace and quiet
Is what we thirst
Distract our minds
Well, what comes first?
Just sit and talk
and be close by
Until the clouds have left they sky
Prechorus
When we look back on this night
Do you think we’ll look back and smile?
You know I love nothing more than nights like this
You know I love our time when lights go out
Prechorus
When we look back on this night
Do you think we’ll look back and smile?
You know I love nothing more than nights like this
You know I love our time when lights go out

End the Hate
02:50
|

|
Whats with the world today?
This picture that we paint
Isn’t looking much like art
Looking dark and grim
With better days behind
Pre-ch:
When you think it cant get worse
Let a week pass and its worse
Im almost certain Im living in a different time
And its hard
Living in a world of madness
Its tough
walking through the streets badness
But I try
To keep my head on straight
To do what I must do to end the hate
Whats with the world today?
People lie and cheat
to get things that they want
Why don’t the ask for help
When you think it cant get worse
Let a week pass and its worse
Im almost certain Im living in a different time
And its hard
Living in a world of madness
Its tough
walking through the streets badness
But I try
To keep my head on straight
To do what I must do to end the hate

Standing By

Sadness, my old friend is
knocking at my door
At my door
It cant Coe in cuz Im
in the presence of happiness
Happiness
It goes time by time
A little different form of life
Say so long to sad today
If it comes back, its quite ok
Know Im standing by, standing by
By your side, by your side
Ill keep you in my thoughts tonight
And past my dreams into the light
Know Im standing by, standing by
By your side, by your side
Unless you need, some space

Down the Street
03:29
|
|||
|
The night air has him shivering
You’re never gonna catch him out
She may be alone tonight
But there’s lots to be figured out
This could be that kinda love
The kind that you risk it all
But he could stay home outta the cold
hoping she will make the walk
She got knee high boots, and a real thick coat
and all the things he would need
She only lives just down the street from him
She could only see just a few feet in front of her
With both feet on the ground
She’s only gonna stay a little longer if she don’t have a sense
Of whats allowed
She could stay the night if it gets too cold or he’ll send her on her way
She’s only just down the street anyways
Its all give, no take for her
Always tries her best
But every body’s got a breaking point
Maybe her’s is next
This could be that kinda love
The kind that she don’t got
But he just stays home outta the cold
Knowing she will make the walk
She got knee high boots, and a real thick coat
and all the things he would need
She only lives just down the street from him
She could only see just a few feet in front of her
With both feet on the ground
She’s only gonna stay a little longer if she don’t have a sense
Of whats allowed
She could stay the night if it gets too cold or he’ll send her on her way
She’s only just down the street anyways

I Did It
02:09
|

|
Today’s the last day
Before the first day
The finish line’s a starting point
When I get past
A new beginning will start
I did it
I did it
Tomorrow’s sun will rise
And I tell ya,
The air will taste more so sweet
Waking up to
Being on the other side
I did it
I did it
Through thick and thin
I pushed on and made it
Some times were hard
Not once did I hate it
I did it
I did it
and with this… Im done
