As I Get Older 02:05
lyrics
buy track
As I get older The nights get longer My body stronger But what of yours? I am alright now But what of tomorrow? Will it have sorrow? What is in store? And as my health seems to excel I see my friends caught up in spells Of alcohol and nicotine abuse My family is doing fine But age will catch up to them in time I worry by the phone for bad news As I get older The nights get colder No mother’s shoulder To sleep upon Anticipating The world keeps changing I’m feeling lost lately Feeling gone But growing up isn’t the hardest thing to do It’s not the hardest thing to do

The Boy 02:53
lyrics

I don’t feel entirely like The boy I was before And I don’t know how I feel about that I don’t know how I am All the time anymore If I’m happy or I’m sad Maybe I need to fall for a little bit Down the slopes to the water I need to fall for a little bit Down to the sea Down to the sea Meet me please Where the sky meets the water That’s where my heart longs to be Next to the girl In the sweater that I bought her Where my mind feels free Maybe I need to fall for a little bit Down the slopes to the water I need to fall for a little bit Down to the sea Down to the sea My mother tells me I'll be ok But I don’t know what to think My mind and soul are so far away My friend hands me another drink Maybe I need to fall for a little bit Down the slopes to the water I need to fall for a little bit Down to the sea Down to the sea Maybe I need to fall for a little bit Down the slopes to the water I need to fall for a little bit Down to the sea Down to the sea

The Strange 01:36
lyrics

The love is in the air tonight Or at least i think it was I see her eyes in paradise Or maybe I did once There’s a traffic jam inside my mind I don’t know what to think I feel as though I may be on the brink Of something But I’m frozen frozen Frozen frozen In the strange I’m frozen frozen Frozen frozen In the strange I don’t know how it happened I thought things were fine But something seemed to change She crossed every single line And i’m bending over backwards to Try and see the point of view But I’m stuck on the feeling of what I thought I knew and I’m frozen frozen Frozen frozen In the strange I’m frozen frozen Frozen frozen In the strange Don't leave me, don't leave me Don't leave me, don't leave me Crying Don't leave me, don't leave me Don't leave me, don't leave me Crying Oh oh I’m frozen frozen Frozen frozen In the strange I’m frozen frozen Frozen frozen In the strange

Bottom of the Bottle 02:31
lyrics

Danny’s walking down princess at 3am He was at a show to see a friend Had some to drink he’s moving real slow Oh where he’s going, i don’t think he even knows So finish off your beer Have another smoke You can have them here Or with some other kind of folk Because the bottom of the bottle And the end of the dart Are never really far apart Louise feels like she doesn’t belong Her friends want to stay a little while for another song She steps outside to clear her mind Takes the cigarette case out one last time So finish off your beer Have another smoke You can have them here Or with some other kind of folk Because the bottom of the bottle And the end of the dart Are never really far apart So finish off your beer Have another smoke You can have them here Or with some other kind of folk Because the bottom of the bottle And the end of the dart Are never really far apart Danny sees a girl outside a bar Louise forgot where she parked her car The two lock eyes but they’re both feeling shy Just two young people under the same old sky So finish off your beer Have another smoke You can have them here Or with some other kind of folk Because the bottom of the bottle And the end of the dart Are never really far apart Because the bottom of the bottle And the end of the dart Are never really far apart

Oh it’s not you, it’s not you, it’s not you Not the lover that I once knew It’s not you it’s not you it’s not you Someone new straight out of the blue Oh out of the blue I think times change More than people do More than people do after all I think people change Only if they're wanting to Only if they're wanting to At all I’ve been gone for a little bit I’ve been gone for a while Just to see your face again Just to feel your smile I think times change More than people do More than people do after all I think people change Only if they're wanting to Only if they're wanting to At all I’ve been fighting for so long I’ve been trying but I keep getting it wrong In my feelings they’re so strong Oh my dear I know you aren’t gone Oh my dear I know you aren’t gone

Mascara 01:56

I’m walking home tonight 3am down university avenue Past the lonely streetlight Oh I feel too much of you Your mascara stains Down my face and white t shirt I try and shoulder off the pain but I've fallen and it hurts

Head in the Clouds 02:13

I’ve got my head in the clouds I forget that the ground’s Even there I’ve got my head in the clouds I forget that the ground’s Even there All I know Is who will come And who will go And all I see Is what will come And what will be I let the scene pass by My face and I sigh The air It moves faster than me And I stop and I see You there But all I know Is who will come And who will go And all I see Is what will come And what will be

Across North America 02:20
lyrics
buy track
You know I lost my heart in British Columbia But the trails on the island made me forget about ya And I could see for miles in Saskatchewan And I hope to God I’ll be a better son A boat ride in Indiana Connection through Atlanta Keepin on keepin on As I make my way Across North America Now Okanagan apple cider tastes real sweet But I’d like to see a little more I’ll travel out east While I don't know where to go or who I may meet While I’m able I’ll move my feet Night life in Toronto My buddy with tequila in his bottle Keepin on keepin on As I make my way Across North America While I feel at peace on this continent Being here has a constant consequence I’m never truly home til i’m so far away Oh home, I’ll come back to you someday Oh I’ll be back again Oh I’ll be back again Snow capped mountains in Alberta New York bright lights up in front of ya Keepin on keepin on As I make my way Across North America

Stay the Night 03:52
lyrics
buy track
We could talk about who we are And who we’re gonna be And just how far We’re gonna see And if my dreams Fall down on me I’ll remember You and me We could watch the sunset from my window We could see the light fade from the sky If you’ll only stay If you’ll only stay the night So please, Lay next to me I feel your body Like a puzzle piece And if the sky Falls down on me I’ll remember You and me We could watch the sunset from my window We could see the light fade from the sky If you’ll only stay If you’ll only stay the night The lives we’ll lead The possibilities Can we make our choices Or is it meant to be We both don’t know What tomorrow will bring But when I’m with you I don’t worry about a thing We could watch the sunset from my window We could see the light fade from the sky If you’ll only If you’ll only stay the night

Lovers and Friends 02:42
lyrics
buy track
I feel as though I’m caught in states Of love or of heartbreak I never seem to be without at least one I don’t know why I’m never happy With the love of friends and family It’s never enough, i’m never done Oh my lovers And my friends Where beginning meets end Oh my lovers And my friends Oh all the letters I’ll never send I don’t know which way life will take me Sideways, backwards, over easy Oh with where I’ve been and where I’ve gone My friends from high school are all over Past love keeping me from being sober Some have been away for so long Oh my lovers And my friends Changing again and again Oh my lovers And my friends Is there anyone with a heart to lend Is there anyone? Is there anyone? I feel as though I’m cursed with too much time sometimes And other days I feel like I’m moving much too fast I think about the people I’ve known And all the nights I’ve spent alone the best moments never last Oh my lovers And my friends Changing again and again Oh my lovers And my friends Is there anyone with a heart to lend Oh these days Will always go And the nights will always end But the memories We’ll always hold Oh my lovers and my friends Oh my lovers and my friends

Harper's Sorrow 02:42
lyrics
buy track
I'd like to be a father someday See the world through my children’s eyes I’d like their mother to have me For forever and some time But I don't know if I’ll ever have that That simple life But I’d like to be a father someday Oh wouldn’t that, oh wouldn’t that be nice? Sometimes I think I might die young And I might die alone Oh god I wish I knew the answers I can be prepared if I know But I hope that there’s someone for me Someone who cares Sometimes I think I might die young And honestly, and honestly I’m scared Will I do everything I want to? Or will it hurt when I go? while there’s still places to see And there’s still more to know and I like the idea of Of being here for something Will I do everything I want to Or will I do, will I do nothing? I’d like to be a father someday See the world through my children’s eyes I’d like to hear their laughter And be there for when they cry I don’t know if I’ll ever have that That simple life I’d like to be a father someday Oh wouldn’t that, oh wouldn’t that be nice?
