I See Stars 02:29
lyrics
In the sky I see stars

Turtle 05:30
lyrics
I am swimming Dare I get excited Tasting hope On a fantasy From twenty years ago Who are you kidding boy Who are you kidding boy What's to stop you drowning In idle reverie Who are you kidding boy You had your chance and you took it Down into the sea Am I swimming Am I treading water Floating on A tide of memory From twenty years ago What do we do now
3.
All I Do 04:34
lyrics
Riffing off a ditty Dusted off the Juno-6 Been a long time Such a long time Some call it vintage I call it memory They were the best of They were the worst of You're standing next to me You are young and you are free This is your time This is a song From me to you It’s all that's left Of all I do Such a beautiful thing You're a perfect beautiful thing I am so lucky So damn lucky This is what I am This is all I am You are what you are Your time No idea why I want this lick to end On a long time A long time

The Lift 03:40
lyrics
Sifting deeper now Sifting deeper through the memory Digging further now Digging further down that vein Saw you instantly Saw you instantly You were bathed in light Oh Now I know why we wake up tears Serves me right for digging down that mine again Now I know why we wake up tears Serves me right for digging down Too much time away Too much time I was away from you I remember now I remember close my eyes Nothing more to want Nothing more to need You were bathed in light

So Easy 02:35
lyrics
A moment in time A memory blossoms Warm breath On my neck A moment and I’m Happy and then some Sweet face turned Up to mine Something In me Tries to make it hard But when I’m with you It’s so easy You call to say hi And I am OK Your voice In my head Something Always Tries to cut you out But you spring right back It’s so easy Just stop trying
6.
Stumbling 05:14
lyrics
Was there a place For you and me Somewhere back there We did not see A place for you A place for me La la la You smile your smile All innocence Your perfect placid Countenance A place for you A place for me La la la Tear your heart up into crumbs And leave a trail around the world Back home Back here A lingering taste of spice Is all that’s left of how it was Back then Back there And yet Way back there were we so different You and I The space between us baby I think we are inside Not exactly what we thought But it’s all right A place for you and me We had it good Stumbling and blundering I wanna make those same mistakes With you again A place for you A place for me La la la Tear your heart up into crumbs And leave a trail to find your way
7.
You Are 05:03
lyrics
I swear you were something I saw coming I swear you were someone I heard calling From the dark I swear I was useless before you I swear you were someone I heard calling From the dark
