I Miss The Music
03:08

Stumbling through the days
I used to dream and gaze
But now I stare
and I move in very odd ways
Music sparked my fear
when I heard it disappear
It used to make my days
so bright and clear
I spend weeks in bed
pretending I was dead
and wait for music
to creep up into my head
I miss the music
I miss it every day
Throughout all those years
music hit my ears
I jumped and danced
and I broke down in tears
It felt like there was love
calling from above
It keeps on calling
But never quite loud enough
Clubs are missing bread
they echo only dread
Where is the music
Creep back into my head
I miss the music
I miss it every day

Finally
I’m on a discovery
so much time on my own
Gonna take a while to wipe my smile
cause I’m grown up and far from home
And lucky me
I’m in the right company
of blank books and guitars as my remedy
I’m too busy
tryna figure things out
I’m calling nobody
I’m cutting everybody off
Oh god, here I go again
I chain up my heart
let nobody in
Am I gonna blow it again
I know that by now I should understand that
Nobody needs to be lonely
Loneliness is your worst friend when it’s your only
Nobody needs to be alone yeh
How could I not see she was right when she told me
that nobody needs to be lonely
I fooled myself
I’ve put on a show
Letting friendships slip
as if watching them go would make me
paint like Michelangelo
or rock your radio, twenty hits in a row
Oh god since I don’t know when
I chain up my heart
let nobody in
Am I gonna blow it again
I know that by now I should understand that
Nobody needs to be lonely
Loneliness is your worst friend when it’s your only
Nobody needs to be alone yeh
How could I not see she was right when she told me
that nobody needs to be lonely
Nobody needs to be lonely
Nobody needs to be lonely

Let's Be Hippies
04:05

Let’s be hippies oohh
let’s just lay in the fields
and roll down the hills
jump into a river of love
let it flow
continuously grow
so we can float
Let’s be hippies oohh
and never leave the feeling again
make everyone understand
that all this sorrow
could finally meet an end
with the drop of false pretense
Who wouldn’t wanna be a hippie oohh
see that would be a pity
cause if you took a look outside
you’d see the weather is pretty and why
it’s needless to deny
such an easy kind of high
when you’re a hippie
Let’s be hippies oohh
we’ll sleep in our tipis
and wake up with a step outside
to watch the day grow so pretty and bright
to a supernatural sight
feels good to be alive
When you’re a hippie oohh
you take nothing more than you need
cause our world’s remedy ironically
has always come for free and always been
a love that lives within
each and everybody’s skin

This Kind Of Love
03:25
|
|||
|
Show me a picture
of somebody I used to call mine
And I can predict you
I am gonna wish myself
back in time
And what good would that do
taking our farewell reasons for less true
What good would it be
after all we've learned
from shared memory
Do we agree
that none of us
was meant to be
In this kind of love
that comes and it goes
It's this kind of love
that's more like a shadow
It's this kind of love
that is though
to get a hold of
And I would feel bad for her
claiming all her love for myself
And she would feel bad for me
keeping up, acting all easy
when it’s not
Eventually
We don’t deserve to be
In this kind of love
that comes and it goes
It's this kind of love
that's more like a shadow
It's this kind of love
There it comes
There it goes

Don't Cry
03:15
|
|||
|
Don't cry
No, don’t cry
Don’t you cry over another goodbye
Our love is easily doubted
Too often we’re left without it
Wondering where it’s gonna go
We are always off to never know
But don’t ever doubt it
Don’t ever doubt it
And don’t cry
No, don’t cry
Don’t you cry over another goodbye
A romance seems awfully wasted
Onto lovers not able to taste it
But whenever they tell you so
Just remember what we both know
It’s never been wasted
Never been wasted
So don’t cry
No, don’t cry
Don’t you cry over another goodbye
Don't
No, don't
Don't
No, don't
Don't
Don’t cry

Maybe Baby
03:19
|

Maybe, baby
The road’s been bumpy lately
Does it mean I shouldn’t give my love to you
Maybe, baby
We’ve never been shook so greatly
Does it mean you shouldn’t give your love to me
Maybe, baby
Love will always find a way
And make trouble switch the lane
And save the day
maybe, baby
Maybe, baby
My heart’s been acting strangely
Tryna be on a beat with ours
Maybe, baby
You wouldn’t be so wrong to blame me
But all I have is all that I can give
Maybe, baby
Love will always find a way
And make trouble switch the lane
And save the day
If not today
Maybe, baby
Tomorrow’s dawn will
Let the sunshine upon our love again
Aah aah
Aaah
Aah aah
Aah maybe

Strange Times
05:23
|
|||
|
I need a new name
a blank reality
life in the fast lane
ain’t quite meant for me
it feels like a crime
in this century
is it just me
going through
Strange times
Here’s to the fearless
in the strangest times
marching on sleepless
holding up faith and signs
while I choke on my teeth
in my dreams every night
I’m going through
Strange times
Times are getting weirder
Is it just me
I used to see clearer
always thinking free
seems like a dream now
Sitting on this ball among
seven point five billion alike
how lonely can I
feel in these
Strange times
why don’t you
pass by
give me back
my life

Stranger's Life
04:12
|
|||
|
I never meant to do this
Never saw myself putting you through this
You know I never meant to hurt you
Isn’t that what people say
right before they to hurt you
And now these words are coming out
These words I haven’t noticed
were part of me all this time along
I know these words are gonna hurt
I know they’re gonna hurt us
And it feels like
I’m living a stranger’s life
I can’t figure this out
My world flipped upside down
And inside out
I’m living a stranger’s life
Got a strange state of mind
When I speak it out loud
The words cut like a knife
I’m living a stranger’s life
I feel it coming closer
What I’ve been holding in
Is slowly taking over
And I am sorry for the damage
But a weight like this is hard to manage
And now these words are coming out
These words were unnoticed
Cause I didn’t know this could come from me
I know these words are gonna hurt
I know they’re gonna hurt us
And it feels like
I’m living a stranger’s life
I can’t figure this out
I see my world flipped upside down
And inside out
I’m living a stranger’s life
Got a strange state of mind
When I speak it out loud
The words cut like a knife
I’m living a stranger’s life
I’m living a stranger’s life
I’m living a stranger’s life

I Feel Like Myself Again
02:53
|
|||
|
I feel like myself again
I feel like myself again
There’s no one coming at me strange
when I look up from the sink
cause in my mirror’s reflection
I see the face of a good friend
somehow I have changed
Cause I look like myself again
I feel like myself again
I hear myself think again
There’s no more hum in my brain
I’ve been used to switching off
for the sake of keeping sane
Seems that I’ve been gone
for a long time
But I feel like myself again
I feel like myself again
I’m done pushing hollow weight
tryna be different
I’m laying out brand new rails
to roll along an old familiar way
and I’m so glad that I can say
I feel like myself again
I feel like myself again
I feel like myself again
I feel like myself again
I feel like myself again

My Friend

My friend
it ’s been a long while
since you last stood in that door frame
An oversized mustache
on that Hollywood smile
My friend
How you stand up to your size
makes you look taller and I remember times
you saw this world through tired eyes
but things have changed and I know they have
and so do you
I’ve never seen a room light up like this
glowing like you do
You gotta feel so brand new
You gotta feel yeah you gotta feel
You gotta feel so brand new
and I’m happy for you
My friend
Blame those late summer nights
they left us under their charm
made us believe this world
would do us no harm
My friend
I know you’ve tried and tried
I know you had demons to fight
But things have changed and I know it now
and so do you
And I’ve never seen a room light up like this
glowing like you do
You gotta feel so brand new
You gotta feel yeah you gotta feel
You gotta feel so brand new
and I’m happy for you
My friend
it’s been a long while
and no easy ride
And I’m so glad
you’ve got sunshine at your side
Cause things have changed and we know it now
yes we do
And I can’t recall ever seeing you
smile the way you do now
And you gotta feel so brand new
You gotta feel yeah you gotta feel
You gotta feel so brand new
and I’m happy for you
