New Zealand 03:58
I could fly straight out to New Zealand Rip up that road map Let them call me insane I could just cartwheel without reason Got nothing weighing me down Let life lead the way I don't wanna know my story's end Life tastes sweeter when it's unplanned Drop all my inhibitions send preconceptions Away is the path and it ain't heaven sent no I've given up on shoe laces They only tie me down I'll just trip if I must I'm gonna fill the empty pages Like a pen without a cap Write till my stories found I don't wanna know my story's end Life tastes sweeter when it's unplanned Drop all my inhibitions send preconceptions Away is the path and it ain't heaven sent no Wherever I go I'll hold myself high Wherever I go I won't tell myself anymore lies

Red and Blue 04:15
Red’s always apologizing Well, so is Blue But we both know We’ve got nothin to be sorry for And when one color sees the other We can’t believe we’ve found each other Sure they have arguments Like whether they make purple or indigo And sure Red may lose his patience But Blue needs to learn how to take it slow Off they roll To a future already starting to unfold And off they go They seem like only colors But they’re painting what love is They can drive wherever they want to But they prefer to take the train And Red loves how Blue gets when she’s sleepy And Blue really loves Red’s, well, everything Blue always assumes too much But Red’s understanding And even when life is just too much They keep each other laughing Off they roll To a future already starting to unfold And off they go They seem like only colors But they’re painting what love is And off they roll To a future already starting to unfold And off they go They seem like only colors But they’re painting what love is Everything, everything is how it’s s’posed to be They can live, they can live, they can live happily Everything, everything is how it’s s’posed to be They can live, they can live, they can live happily Everything, everything is how it’s s’posed to be They can live, they can live, they can live happily Everything, everything is how it’s s’posed to be They can live, they can live, they can live happily

Digital You 03:59
Of course I don't want to go That's what I always say But the truth is that I can't do this another day Cause the longer we talk The longer each night becomes And longer till I'm home to you Can't I just sleep through the time So I'm not up racking mind If I remember what this digital you doesn't have like Like the length of your hands And the smell of your hair And the sound of your feet on the sand To lay my head on you chest And it would truly be rest Not just a chance to think of what should be said It doesn't seem to get through that I'm drowning here There just aren't enough hours To make it like we're near And it's doing my head in To keep on going pretendin' That I'm ok and there's nothing wrong Can't you just guess what I'm feelin' I'm so tired of deceivin' And its clouding all the things that I know and I love like Like the length of your hands And the smell of your hair And the sound of your feet on the sand To lay my head on you chest And it would truly be rest Not just a chance to think of what should be said Sound of your feet on the sand Sound of your feet on the sand Of course I don't wanna go, of course I don't wanna go Of course I don't wanna go Of course I don't wanna go, of course I don't wanna go Of course I don't wanna go The longer we talk the longer each night becomes The longer we talk the longer each night becomes

Sunday 06:04
Woke up on a Sunday feeling fine Put on my shoes and I walked outside Whoa, and now I feel new And now I’ll be true Woke up on a Sunday feeling fine Put on my shoes and I walked outside Whoa, and now I feel new And now I’ll be true

You've always loved your title But you've never once lived up to it You think your some kind of idol But all I hear are the narcissistic words you spit But now I'm done I'm done faking this love I can't remember the last time Seeing you didn't fill me with dread We're all picking up your slack Your laughable yet I'm the one who's always laughed at But now I'm done I'm done faking this love Faking a smile to appease your ego Faking my love to fulfill the role you gave me You demand answers but then always throw them back If only you'd listened But I'm past the point of caring back But now I'm done I'm done faking this love Now I'm done I'm done faking this love

Underground 03:09
We weren’t bound to fall At first we were on her side Let this be our wake up call To look past the money and lies Can’t you see our mistake Many overpowers one Together we were driven by lust Together we watch our home to dust We didn’t pledge to make it right Now it’s too late to see the light I can’t hear Mother Nature’s sound And now our children live underground Normal life may be gone Disasters everyday in our midst The planet knows that this is wrong But we’ve yet to admit something’s amiss When did it all go to hell When you first put up that oil well When did it all start to crumble That atom bomb caused a lot of the rubble We didn’t pledge to make it right Now it’s too late to see the light I can’t hear Mother Nature’s sound And now our children live underground It’s time for us to make the sacrifice Put all our trust in the men who know the most About the earth and its life Swallow your pride There’s so much at stake, there’s so much at stake Between life and death Can be decided right now by the choice that we make We didn’t pledge to make it right Now it’s too late to see the light I can’t hear Mother Nature’s sound And now our children live underground We didn’t pledge to make it right Now it’s too late to see the light I can’t hear Mother Nature’s sound And now our children live underground

Little girl don't leave her Keep her in sight Little girl stay beside her She lifts your head high Bigger girl just ignore it You're not growing apart Bigger girl don't you miss her You've walked so far You live through each day With the strength that she gave You left her your mistakes Does she miss how you played You love her just as much, and she tells you the same So why did things change, feelings twist, fade away Little girl look closely You might see her frown Bigger girl look away now She can't see that you're down Little girl how you wonder If your mother's enough Bigger girl you have more now But she was enough You live through each day With the strength that she gave You left her your mistakes Did she make any too You love her just as much, and she tells you the same So why did things change, feelings twist, fade away

Lazy days, soft hands You hold me close, don’t let it end You give me choice and freedom and joy I’ll do what I can to give you the same And I will love you for the rest of my days Each moment I spend with you keeps fear at bay Dangers could be waitin’ round the corner Tomorrow could be our last together I’m not that strong, or fast, or even lucky But I’ll use what I have to protect you from hurting I’d give so much to keep things so easy Life is new and full of so much happy But hands get rougher and days get busy But through it all I know that you’ll still hold me And I will love you for the rest of my days Life will get harder but you’ll stay the same Said I will love you for the rest of my days Life will get harder but that won’t change The rest of, the rest of, the rest of my days The rest of, the rest of, the rest of my days The rest of, the rest of, the rest of my days The rest of, the rest of, the rest of my days

House Mouse 05:39

We've been building our home shaping sand into stone Resetting the time when the sand would unwind It's nobody's fault that I've been walking on this hour glass But now that its shattered, we can finally ease our minds I've shattered the list of all the things I had learned Don't react this way and don't acknowledge when you're sad We were trying to be the best thing for each other But that compromise was a sacrifice in disguise This could be your chance This could be your day This could be your chance to find happiness This could be your chance This could be your day This could be your chance to find happiness Hope you see it that way I shouldn't be all the ground at your feet And I shouldn't hold all your happiness in my hands Cause my hands are rough and my back has started aching You deserve more than to pray that it never breaks This could be your chance This could be your day This could be your chance to find happiness This could be your chance This could be your day This could be your chance to find happiness Find your motivation Solitude is such a small price to pay For self fulfillment, independence, happiness I hope you'll see it that way Find your motivation Solitude is such a small price to pay For self fulfillment, independence, happiness I hope you'll see it that way
