Scribble these words down on a napkin From the plane hoping some way you will catch them Watch my pen bleed ink into the paper With every word there is a memory I can savor 36-thousand feet above the land I hope we land so I can share my plans with you In the most turbulent times we have the clearest view So how am I expected to stand so tall When my biggest strengths been left back home Without you I feel a chill run straight through my bones Still we must keep moving forward Cause darling time’s on our side With every sunset comes a sunrise Spent two weeks away from you Here I am living in a damn hotel room I had the time to cross state lines To envision the world from the other side And it left me feeling homesick Missing the feeling of your lips As I circle them and circle your hips I must admit that, how am I expected to stand so tall When my biggest strengths been left back home Without you I feel a chill run straight through my bones Still we must keep moving forward Cause darling time’s on our side With every sunset comes a sunrise And I must admit that I miss the feeling of your lips As I circle them and circle your hips I must admit that, how am I expected to stand so tall When my biggest strengths been left back home Without you I feel a chill run straight through my bones Still we must keep moving forward Cause darling time’s on our side With every sunset comes a sunrise

Grow 04:20
See the world from a new perspective I’m getting older still I’m constantly questioning If I keep living my life One day at a time Will I be alright? Lose myself in the sounds of morning The birds are singing even while I’m recording And this music I write Well it keeps me alive So I’ll be alright This is our chance to grow It’s best to let it go This is our chance to grow It starts with letting go Watch the earth as it’s slowly turning I’m not defeated, no my fires still burning With each word that I write Well it brings me to life So we will be alright This is our chance to grow It’s best to let it go This is our chance to grow It starts with letting go Feels like I’m trapped inside a dream Where all my memories keep playing on repeat It’s left me questioning everything But I’m just thankful I’m still living So when you feel you’ve lost your drive Try to focus on the good things in your life It’s best if you remember That we’re all people here looking for an answer We’re in a world with no answers This is our chance to grow It’s best to let it go This is our chance to grow It starts with letting go It starts with letting go You have to let it go

Run 04:07
I’m Lost in space But I’m still hanging on Can’t shake this feeling I swear there’s something wrong These thoughts tend to by cyclic Cause now I’m truly spun And they keep on coming back As if I’m living a rerun Run Just run Feels like the world may be ending Still there’s nothing we can do If you think your dreams are fading Keep on evading it Till you can make them come true And time will tell If your backs against the wall Will you succeed when you try to give it all Spinning like record, toxicity has won Always coming back, again we’re a living a rerun Run Just run Feels like the world may be ending Still there’s nothing we can do If you think your dreams are fading Keep on evading it Till you can make them come true It’s another day where I keep losing patience with myself My heart and mind are at war and it’s left me hesitant I search for an answer in a world that only provides more questions Why? I could ruminate for hours Lose myself inside the cycle Unable to pull the brakes So I keep spinning and spinning until there’s nothing left, it’s terrifying So can you keep a secret, are you someone I can trust? Cause these thoughts are getting heavy from bottling it up And I think I’ve been complacent with the way things have been running so far Feels like the world may be ending Still there’s nothing we can do If you think your dreams are fading Keep on evading it Till you can make them come true

I beg your pardon but you look so damn familiar Could it be that a product of my past Is even able to accept the man that I’ve become When I’ve been living as a statue for the past five years With your comforting words You’ve returned my youth Back to when we were kids And had nothing to lose Remember blowing up bottles To scare all our friends We woke up the neighbors So we all hid How could I forget Words of wisdom don’t get too wrapped up in love To the point where you forget who you are And truth be told I think that I was stronger than But thank God I have a friend like you to lean on Cause with your comforting words You’ve returned my youth Back to when we were kids We had nothing to lose Remember blowing up bottles To scare all our friends We woke up the neighbors So we all hid How could I forget All those summer nights so fine Sitting by a campfire Trying to catch every show down in Buffalo Playing panic in your car We’d sing my songs up at the park You were there for me when everything came crashing in Now my life can begin Cause with your comforting words You’ve returned my youth Back to when we were kids We had nothing to lose Remember blowing up bottles To scare all our friends We woke up the neighbors So we all hid How could I forget How could I forget

Stupid Song 03:11
Sometimes I drive by our old apartment and think Damn we’ve come quite far Then I find myself getting nervous Cause I can’t navigate through the dark So hope for tomorrow Just give me today Cause this stupid heart It keeps me living These stupid thoughts Keep on spinning This stupid song I can’t stop singing It goes on and on and on and on and on It’s 2 am and the whole house is sleeping Even the dog’s lost in dreams But here I am Can’t stop myself from thinking What does it all really mean So hope for tomorrow Just give me today Cause this stupid heart It keeps me living These stupid thoughts Keep on spinning This stupid song I can’t stop singing It goes on and on and on and on and on Shuffle through words like were playing cards Keep on moving forward when we’re back at the start Watch your balance now we’ve found our stride If only you could get outside my mind Breathe in the good and breathe out the bad That’s what you tell me when panic attacks This feeling never leaves, it only will subside It’s probably why I can’t stop thinking Cause this stupid heart It keeps me living These stupid thoughts Keep on spinning This stupid song I can’t stop singing It goes on and on and on and on and on It goes on and on and on and on and on It goes on and on and on and on and on

Dreaming 04:04
This weekend was long And each night it feels longer I’m doing my best As the storm it grows stronger And I’m holding my breath Cause the waves push me under Will this be the end Now I’m choking on water But I will not give up No I will swim to the top I’ll fight for my life let the air flood my lungs It’s all about perspective It’s simply simplistic My glass is half full Im a true optimistic Tell me how you really feel Cause lately I swear we’re just dreaming Tell me how you really feel You’ve given my life a new meaning We slipped through the gate Even though it was locked Forgot all our troubles As we walked the block From minutes to hours Yes time passed us by Soon we’ll discover Our purpose in life We were made for each other Do you feel it too Its almost like magic When you walk the room I was hooked from the start Instantly captivated A tall glass of water You keep me hydrated Tell me how you really feel Cause lately I swear we’re just dreaming Tell me how you really feel You’ve given my life a new meaning We’ll navigate through the storm As long as we’re together One day we’ll make it to the shore And search for better weather We’ll navigate through the storm As long as we’re together We can search for better weather For better weather Tell me how you really feel Cause lately I swear we’re just dreaming Tell me how you really feel You’ve given my life a new meaning

Secrets 02:07
I came in running fast Didn’t know what I was peeling back And suddenly in flash It was gone Everybody wants to know your secrets Everybody wants to hear that same ol’ song Everybody wants to know your secrets But I’ll be keeping them Now in the blink of eye I watched my world quickly pass me by And still a part of me died But I survived Everybody wants to know your secrets Everybody wants to hear that same ol’ song Everybody wants to know your secrets But I’ll be keeping them Everybody wants to know your secrets Everybody wants to hear that same ol’ song Everybody wants to know your secrets But I’ll be keeping them

Pressure 03:43
I lie awake Too afraid to close my eyes Can’t stop these thoughts from drifting It happens every night Yes I lie awake Too afraid to close my eyes Can’t stop these thoughts from drifting It happens all the time But not tonight Cause I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man they think they know I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man I know I can be Some days it’s hard to breathe Or even just exist Yes my friend I’ve been there In fact it’s where I live So here I lie awake Too afraid to close my eyes These manic thoughts keep drifting It happens all the time But not this time Cause I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man they think they know I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man I know I can be Sometimes it’s hard to see the light Can disappear without a warning Just have to make it through the night For you to see a brighter morning And you will be I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man they think they know I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man I know I can be I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man they think they know I’m ready to let this pressure go Ready to be the man I know I can be I know I can be I know I can be The one

Back To You 03:58
Took our time but I think we’ve found our rhythm Since we’ve spent the night Traveling from bar to bar And I’ve searched for answers Across the solar system Will do what I must do to prove I’m worthy of your heart Nothing can keep us apart I’ll be gone for a week or two I’ll always come back to you Don’t you fret Or hold your breath Cause I’ll come back Yes I’ll come back to you Fell in line Pretended I was living But I spent my time Wishing to feel alive Cause this 9 to 5 Isn’t filling what I needed So I think that I’ll take a ride To figure out this life You’re constantly on my mind I’ll be gone for a week or two I’ll always come back to you Don’t you fret Or hold your breath Cause I’ll come back Yes I’ll come back to you Cause I’ll come back to you Cause no one one else will do Girl I’m hooked like glue To everything you do I’ll be gone for a week or two I’ll always come back to you Don’t you fret Or hold your breath Cause I’ll come back Yes I’ll come back to you I’ll be gone for a week or two I’ll always come back to you Don’t you fret Or hold your breath Cause I’ll come back Yes I’ll come back to you

Looks like in running late I always think that I can do more with my time That’s right And now you have to wait So typical of me to be behind Maybe I am dreaming I hope that you are dreaming too I think we’ll spend the night Lost in all city lights And then we’ll take a drive Until the stars they come alive And when we’re headed home Maybe we’ll take the long road Cause all we have is time Let’s watch the stars come alive I’ve done it once again Another day has somehow slipped on by Goodbye And now you wonder when I’ll realize the moon it paints the sky Maybe I am dreaming I hope that you are dreaming too I think we’ll spend the night Lost in all city lights And then we’ll take a drive Until the stars they come alive And when we’re headed home Maybe we’ll take the long road Cause all we have is time Let’s watch the stars come alive They’re shining bright but not as bright as you Do you even know that you light up the room I have to stop myself from staring But that’s so hard to do when I have the perfect view And nothing else compare to this Surround me in your energy And make a wish It might be the wine that we’re drinking But it’s left me thinking Maybe I am dreaming I hope that you are dreaming too I think we’ll spend the night Lost in all city lights And then we’ll take a drive Until the stars they come alive And when we’re headed home Maybe we’ll take the long road Cause all we have is time Let’s watch the stars come alive The stars come alive The stars come alive
