Fresh Paint

I trace every curve
Outlining our latest work
The fresh paint
Dripping down
You always get my deepest blues
The reds and orange, well, that’s all you
It’s the mixing that’s magic
A new cosmographical hue
Yeah when we move real slow
Watch as our shapes transform
Into another world I ain’t seen before
Floating through uncharted air
No parachute, but I don’t care
Know I’ll land safe as long as you’re there
Lost in waves deep in the sea
Made of Egyptian cotton sheets
I find you
And then I can breathe
I taste the ocean on your lips
I feel the sand through your fingertips
Your hands through my hair like the wind
What a trip, what a trip
And when we move real slow
Watch as our shapes transform
Into another world I ain’t seen before
Floating through uncharted air
No parachute, but I don’t care
Know I’ll land safe as long as you’re there
I don’t need no sleep
You are all my dreams
A canvas just for me
Endless possibilities
I don’t need reality
When you are lying next to me
Adrift in reverie
A picture only we can see
And when we move real slow
Watch as our shapes transform
Into another world I ain’t seen before
Floating through uncharted air
No parachute, but I don’t care
Know I’ll land safe as long as you’re there
I trace every curve
Outlining our latest work
The fresh paint
Dripping down

Settle
04:35
|

Feels like we’ve been here before
Back to back against the wall
Trying to find where we went wrong
From deep in love to high and scorned
Blurry tears roll down my cheeks
As hazy words play on repeat
Trying to peg just you what you meant
And if I meant just what I said
We can’t seem to land on the same page
Maybe ours should’ve been an unwritten story
And now I can’t help but wonder
If we could be better
Would we stay together
And should we recover
Will we have won a battle
Or simply settled
For some time, been hard to see
Is this contrived or meant to be
Lovers clash and that’s alright
But we cash in on every fight
Then I think how can it be
Our love began so naturally
Held on to this fantasy
But maybe it’s just blinding me
We can’t seem to land on the same page
Maybe ours should’ve been an unwritten story
And now I can’t help but wonder
If we could be better
Would we stay together
And should we recover
Will we have won a battle
Or simply settled
And now I can’t help but wonder
If we could be better
Would we stay together
And should we recover
Will we have won a battle
Or simply settled
And now I can’t help but wonder
If we could be better
Would we stay together
And should we recover
Will we have won a battle
Will we have won a battle
Or simply settled

Not My Friend
04:29

You walk on in
With that look about you and
I can see that grinny grin in your eyes
You nod hello
From the comfort by the door
Act like coming over’s not worth your time
But I see through you baby
Oh you bet I do
Think you’re too cool
Take me a fool
But I won’t bite
So quit your playin’
I know you’re fakin’
And it ain’t right
You are not my friend
Seems that you never were in the end
So let’s not do that thing where we pretend
Cause we’re not friends
I’m not your friend
You’re not my friend
Yeah we’re not friends
I’m not your friend
You’re not my friend
I think back to
When I met you, I just knew
Something bout those steely blues screamed so loud
With that charm you donned
Came to play like you were armed
Still I let you plead the benefit of the doubt
Now I see through you baby
Oh you bet I do
Think you’re too cool
Take me a fool
But I won’t bite
So quit your playin’
I know you’re fakin’
And it ain’t right
Cause you are not my friend
Seems that you never were in the end
So let’s not do that thing where we pretend
Cause we’re not friends
I’m not your friend
You’re not my friend
Yeah we’re not friends
I’m not your friend
You’re not my friend
Yeah you are not my friend
Seems that you never were in the end
So let’s not do that thing where we pretend
Cause we’re not friends
I’m not your friend
You’re not my friend
Yeah we’re not friends
I’m not your friend
You’re not my friend

Who's Counting
02:50
|

One more candle on the cake, dear
One more line when you smile
One more friend dressed up in white with
One more “Oh you’re next in line”
We’ve only a few good years left now
Yeah that’s what they say
But who’s really counting anyway
One more penny in the bank, yeah
One less loan left to pay
One more eighty-hour week so
You can finally get that raise
Cause you’ll never be rich
If you ain’t hustlin’ every day
But who’s really counting anyway
One failed driver’s test
Too many exes, I confess
Three strikes to my name
For all the chances I’ve not claimed
And size, no it doesn’t matter
Said nobody ever, never measuring up
You’ve got to be better
You’re on the clock
It’s now or never
One more minute for the goodbye
That you wish wasn’t your last
One more shot at that old daydream
That you left in the past
Cause there’ll always be next time
For the things that you didn’t say
But who’s really counting anyway
Cause there’ll always be next time
For the moments you didn’t make
But who’s really counting anyway
Yeah who’s really counting anyway
Who’s really counting anyway

Take You

Say what you came here to say
Honey don’t hesitate
You’re okay
Hey, so you had a hard day
Let me take you away
Away
Spill the tea
I’ll pour the wine
We can ease the pain
While we share some time
You’ll tell me where it went wrong
I’ll tell you you’re not alone
One more hour
One more cup
Won’t you stay the night
Let me fill you up
We need more than we let on
I’ll hold you ‘til the light dawns
Why, there’s no need to be shy
Being real’s not a crime
Let me undress your mind
Unwind, free yourself of confines
Feels so good just to cry
Baby cry
Spill the tea
I’ll pour the wine
We can ease the pain
While we share some time
You’ll tell me where it went wrong
I’ll tell you you’re not alone
One more hour
One more cup
Won’t you stay the night
Let me fill you up
We need more than we let on
I’ll hold you ‘til the light dawns
(Let me take you)
Let me take you, let me take you away
I’ll take you, let me take you away
I’ll take you, let me take you away
I’ll take you, let me take you away
I’ll take you, let me take you away
Hey, so you had a hard day
Let me take you away
Away
Spill the tea
I’ll pour the wine
We can ease the pain
While we share some time
You’ll tell me where it went wrong
I’ll tell you you’re not alone
One more hour
One more cup
Won’t you stay the night
Let me fill you up
We need more than we let on
I’ll hold you ‘til the light dawns
Spill the tea
I’ll pour the wine
We can ease the pain
While we share some time
You’ll tell me where it went wrong
I’ll tell you you’re not alone
One more hour
One more cup
Won’t you stay the night
Let me fill you up
We need more than we let on
I’ll hold you ‘til the light dawns

Above the Clouds
03:13
|

Each day, waking up
Feeling like you got something to prove
Don’t let it fool ya
It’ll do something to ya
Shutting down, with your mind made up
Acting like you got so much to lose
Won’t make it better
Ain’t no warmth in fair weather
And he can tell ya it’ll all be alright
“But baby, that don’t help me sleep at night”
You can’t let go
If you could just let go of
Those walls
Let them come down
You can’t hide from the fear
But you can let it out
And you may not see it now
But there’s always sun
Up above the clouds
Above the clouds, yeah
They ask, so you say
“Doin’ well, seeds are starting to grow”
Can’t let them see
It’s not quite so green
Hiding out in your empty grove
Trying to reap what you never sewed
It won’t ease the pain
Ain’t no life without rain
And he can tell ya it’ll all be alright
“But dammit that won’t help me sleep at night”
You can’t let go
If you could just let go of
Those walls
Let them come down
You can’t hide from the fear
But you can let it out
And you may not see it now
But there’s always sun
Up above the clouds
Up above the clouds so high
There’s a bright, blue, wide open canvas sky
Up above the clouds so high
There’s nothing but sunny days
And space for you to fly
To fly
Yeah
