LYRICS:
I know where I need to bend my head
Nobody’s fashion gets me way ahead
Slide of hand
I know I can believe
One kiss in my pocket
I know I can be
Flying overhead when I didn’t have a plane
I knew just enough
I did not go insane
I went so high
Lost my soul
I went so high
Lost my cell phone
Oh, here comes that someone
Oh, here comes that someone
A little velvet plane I could not reach
A little out of touch
Enough to break free
How did I know to get so high
When nobody ever tried to stop (me)
Oh, here comes that someone
Change in me
We’re still alive

Someone's Party

Someone’s party
You walked up, introduced yourself
I don’t quite remember
The time you said you knew our band
Who were you now?
Did I get your name?
Someone’s party
We meet again
I was invited
You’re not excited
Maybe we’ll talk in the back yard
But then you left
We’ll try another time
Can you capture in your mind
A little taste of time
How you capture my name
Maybe we’ll find each other again
Someone’s party
That band’s playing
You had to pay
I’m on the guest list
See you on the bathroom line
You disappeared
I couldn’t find you
Can you capture in your mind
We’re in the same room at the same time
Can you capture another day
Someone’s party
This time don’t be late

Apology Song
03:34

When I see you again
The memories come and then
We were looking for
Who knows what anymore
All the strength you wanted to show
All this time
I guess I’ll never know
You were reachin’ out
Who knows where we would be
We would shout out loud
“Forever you and me!”
I got a feelin’ in my head
I know next time I may not ever sleep
I’m sorry I did it
I got all caught in my head
I’m sorry
You know it
My head got caught up in that thing
I’m sorry I did it
I got all caught in my head
I’m sorry you know it
My head got caught up in that
I’m sorry I did it
I got all caught in my head
I’m sorry
You know it
My head got caught up in that

Your Time Doesn't Exist
05:55
|

LYRICS:
Time is just a construct
Time is never ending, full of love
As it flows
Flower blooming slowly like a conscientious friend
Time is just a construct in the end
When it’s getting noisy and I need some silence
Time is just a construct in the end
Skipping over water and we feel it splashing
I know
I know
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
When we’re getting older and we need encouragement
Time is just a construct in the end
Skipping over water
Let’s let go and jump in
Time is just a construct in the end
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist
Your time
Your time doesn’t exist

A Family
03:07
|
|

Are we at it again -can you tell me- can we still be friends?
Maybe once in a while we can be somethin’
Maybe we can make each other smile for a while
Being alone is the best drug – It is the best way to be
Being alone is the best drug
Oh….
Under those stolen glances, breaking and burning chances (and)
Oh, we can take the best moments we had
Make our mistakes and make each other glad
That we were a family
And being together is the best way to be
Oh, we can raise each other up
Or put some golden dust in each other’s cups
But we cannot be and we cannot grow with each other if we show (ah)
Being alone is the best way, Being alone is the best way
Oh, we can take the best days that we had
Make our mistakes and make each other glad
That we were a family
And being together is the best way to be
Oh, we can raise each other up
Or put some golden dust in each other’s cups
Maybe can we be a family
But we do know, well we’re learning how, and we’re older now

Don't You Wanna Try
03:26
|
|

They’re gonna get to love you, love you
And we’re gonna get someone to take care of you, of you
Don’t you wanna try
Don’t you wanna maybe
Don’t you wanna try
Don’t you wanna baby
Who you gonna get to
To love you, to love you, love you
If you were a smart girl you would get someone to take care of you, of you
Don’t you wanna try like the others
Take a look around and maybe you could be a mother
Don’t you wanna wait to please ‘cuz maybe you’ll get down on your knees
Oh, you can waste your time
Or you can blame your life
In another way, I can be a light
In another way I can be a light for all those who doubt
Don’t you wanna try to make a little light
Shine a little way
And maybe you change or maybe you could get some
Don’t you wanna try to make a little light on everybody’s life
On everybody’s time

Floating Above the Water
06:28
|
|
||
Floating above the water
I didn’t know I was there
Floating above like soil
Floating above like angels
How do they know the way
Come right through they’ll catch you
Wait until they let you
Floating above tomorrow
We wouldn’t have to wait
There are homes we can live in
There are names we were given
One step up we’re
One step up we’re
One step up we’re
One step up we’re
Floating above the water
We see a different way
Try to run in circles
Try to run in place
One step up
One step up
One step up away
Away
