am I in a dream
is all what it seems or a tragedy
swim to the shore
our memory fades
I want you to send her to find it
and carry us home
we’ve lost you again
where are the pleasant reminders
I’m thrown to the floor
they’ll find our remains
washed up and telling our story
then bury the bones
I’m not sure if I’ll follow
water’s become shallow
it’s so far to fall
it just doesn’t seem possible now
we’re abandoning all
it’s too easy to say that it’s nobody’s fault
am I in a dream or a tragedy
swim to the shore
are these end of days
when all of the pleasant reminders
are thrown overboard
we’ll be forgotten in no time
we won’t remember ourselves
we’ve lost you again
never to be found

77 Summer

there’s a time that’s real
hard to recall but easy to feel
I taught myself to swim
swim in circles
breath on hold
look up
look out
we’re growing
white sand burning skin
feel the deeper water’s cold
look up
look out
we’re growing old
under the summer sun
don’t be fooled
you won’t even feel it slip away
under the summer sun
such a big world
such a big world
daylight’s fading fast
will you come out again
look up
look out it’s glowing
streetlight swarm above
stretching shadows at our feet
look up
look out we’re growing old
under the summer sun
don’t be fooled
you won’t even feel it slip away
don’t lose the summer sun
in such a big world
such a big world
if there’s still daylight
can we go back again
if there’s still daylight

Tight To Your Ghost
03:17
|

I can’t get used to this
house full of loneliness
talking to myself
pretending that you’re there
it’s a story of sad cliches
far from from memories
days we used to know
one step sideways
then forward
then back again
caught off balance
’til we’re walking through the walls
there’s so much we don’t talk about
we just dance around
such an empty show
stay with me
stay with me oh
I’m holding on tight to your ghost
‘cause you’ve disappeared
here goes nothing
I’m letting go
look me in the eye
run away or stay this time
I never thought I’d have to
see through parts of you
are you telling the truth this time
there’s no finding out
there’s no finding you
signs of weakness
I couldn’t feel vulnerable
all good wishes and favors don’t say enough
like your love
they’ve gone quiet now
not the strong pale beauty I used to know

Secret Reunion
02:09
|

following tracks
back to you through summer steam
secret reunion only leaves us tired
you’re more myself than I am
felt this way back even when
the signs are all inside
just had to be
another night on dreary lane
I get the feeling though you’re beside me
ask you to wait you know I haven’t told you
where or even when
the sounds around there’s someone calling
fly away
still can’t shake it off
our day will come soon
don’t stop for me
if I can’t look you in the eye
over my shoulder find a place to hide
ask you to wait you know I haven’t told you
why or even when
the sounds around there’s someone following
the sounds around there’s someone following
fly away
still can’t shake it off
our day will come soon

Knew It All The Time
04:32

such a screwball
I try to hide
since I threw it all away
so what’s the problem
with losing ties
before I do this all again
so you knew it all the time
and all I had to do was
so what’s your deal boy
did she get inside
did she tell you you’d be saved
you’re just a new toy
lose your mind
but you just turn the other way
so you knew it all the time
and all I had to do was try

Nice To Meet You
04:52
|
|||
sometime I’d like to be with you
but the question to answer is if you ever would
sadly it came out in pieces
fell so hard to the floor with our wishes
given up
time feels wasted
time feels lost
we called to save you
it’s nice to meet you
we’ll see you off
but I’ll still cheer you on
my thoughts are crowded
I’m a coward
can’t listen
mouth to mouth - such an awkward position
oh no
laid it out all so neatly
trying ever so sweetly to let it go
time feels wasted
time feels lost
we called to save you
it’s nice to meet you
it’s not enough
but I’ll still cheer you on
point the way
I’ll breathe you in
now it’s too late to stop
spent a long time refusing to see
sides of you that are all I can feel now
left a trail of confusion
where nothing is real
so I’m left of nowhere now
don't know how you're giving this up
now it's too late

Ending Song
03:03
|

I’ve been here before
but with you
it’s hard to forget that tonight
the low flame into deep sea blue
letting me know the day’s gone
for my love
there’s no sundown
we carried it as far as we could
easy to see you were tired
in ways we both misunderstood
you were letting me know our day’s gone
now my love
there’s nothing holding you down here tonight
laughing for hours at the faces we made
trading our fools in a seaside parade
a forest of fireworks above
knee deep in saltwater waves
so now my love
there’s nothing holding you down here tonight
