spaceship

Take my hand there's no more time to waste
Final boarding call to outer space

This is us now, soon we'll be
In a hot tub, on a moonbeam
This is us now, soon we'll be
So in love, on a

On a spaceship
We slip through the stratosphere
Sipping cocktails
Off to sail
The crystal clear
No gravity to keep us down
Endless sea
Where we are found

Floating weightless
Holding hands with you
Oceans below us disappear from view
I wanna take you dancing on the moon

This is us now, I can't believe
How far we have come
This is us now, I can't believe
We're in love, on a

On a spaceship
We slip through the stratosphere
Sipping cocktails
Off to sail
The crystal clear
No gravity to keep us down
Endless sea
Where we are found

running on empty

I'm craving patience and sweater weather
Waiting forever
Hate what I'm making
Wish that it was better

In the longest summer
Under the hottest sun
My endurance is down to none

Running on
Running on empty
Running on
Running on empty

Constant frustration
Obstacles in my way
Optional but they stay
Where I've placed them
My mind is racing through conversations
I need a break from being me, yeah

In the longest summer
Under the hottest sun
My endurance is down to none
I need a new lens to make it make sense
I'm in misery and I can't keep

Running on
Running on empty
I'm running on
Running on empty

Burning through all my fuel
Messed up the golden rule
I always play the fool
Tension in my body now
Won't somebody calm me down
Help me, I'm running out

Running on
Running on empty
I'm running on
Running on empty
Running on empty
I'm running on
Running on empty
Running on running on empty I'm
Running on running on empty

stuck

​Safe when I'm inside
But as soon as I step outside
The city eats me alive
Pretty palm trees from afar
I picture me playing my guitar
It's been weeks, been months, been years

All I need is fresh air
Natural light
How did that become so hard to find

Stuck on the inside
I'm stuck on the inside

Driving in your car
Down broken boulevard
You have my head, my heart, my scars, whoa
Three hours on the train is getting harder in this rain
I don't wanna feel insane, but I do

All I need is fresh air
Natural light
How did that become so hard to find

Stuck on the inside, whoa oh oh oh
I'm stuck on the inside, whoa oh oh oh
Trying not to cry
They don't understand why
Can't I get to you
Wanna be with you
But I'm stuck on the inside

Cannot get to you
Wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Wanna be
Cannot get to you
But I wanna be with you
Wanna be with you
Wanna be
Ooh ooh ooh whoa oh oh oh

I'm stuck on the inside
I'm stuck on the inside, whoa oh oh oh
Trying not to cry
They don't understand why
Can't I get to you
Wanna be with you
But I'm stuck on the inside, whoa oh oh oh

I refuse to believe the best years are behind me
And I've been trying hard to see things differently
Wish it was easy to be optimistic
When everything keeps on getting twisted in my head
Again and again

I wanna be outside looking in
And I wanna be more forward thinking
I wanna be able to see it retrospectively
I want some advice from a future me

Would she just say take it easy yeah
And let it all come easily yeah
Oh oh
Would she just say take it easy

Been loving on you for a minute
I'm not finished loving you
Waking up with your skin in linen
In the afternoon

In the treetops
Kissing 'till the leaves drop
Watch them fall
How much time do I get with you
'Cause I want it all

Who's gonna give you love
I'm gonna give you love
Who's gonna give you love
Give you all my love

I could stay in this feeling forever
There's no way I would stray
'Cause your heart keeps calling me home babe
The closer I get
The more I need it
I need it
Holding your hand and sharing secrets

In the treetops
Kissing 'till the leaves drop
Watch them fall
How much time do I get with you
'Cause I want it all

Who's gonna give you love
I'm gonna give you love
Who's gonna give you love
Give you all of my love

All of my
All of my
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love
All of my
All of my
All of my love
All of my love
All of my love
​
Who's gonna give you love
I'm gonna give you love
Who's gonna give you love
Give you all of my love

these nights

​Downtown sundown
We can find the best crowd
If you wanna drown it out
Dance like no one's here
Guaranteed to get weird
What do you want
Tell me what it's all about

These nights
Never come down
Stay up high
Tonight we can get loud
You and I
These nights
Run it back now
In my mind
These nights

They can't hear us talking here
In the cloud at the back of the room
Tell me something
You never told anyone about you
If you wanna stay up late
We can stay up all night together
Watch the sunrise
On the east side
Haven't had this much fun in a long time

These nights
Never come down
Stay up high
Tonight we can get loud
You and I
These nights
Run it back now
In my mind
These nights

Follow me onto the roof
It's so pretty
You've got me feeling so new
In this city
Neon singing in the sky
Never want to say goodbye
No sweeter sound
Than you and I
On these nights
These nights

These nights never come down
Tonight we can get loud
These nights
These nights
These nights

These nights
Never come down
Stay up high
Tonight we can get loud
You and I
These nights
Run it back now
In my mind
These nights

everything can go right

If everything can go wrong
Then everything can go right

It's January and just as scary as it was last year
I'm supposed to be in a different league
But right now I'm still here

Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems
It's all temporary

It's a universal law
All evens out over time
If everything can go wrong
Then everything can go right
So wrong
So right
So right
So right
So right
So wrong
So right
So right
So right
So right

August in the rain
Hottest summer days
Time to celebrate the good things on the way
Elevated status
Deviate from the average
Release bad habits
Now anything can happen

Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems
It's all temporary

It's a universal law
All evens out over time
If everything can go wrong
Then everything can go right
So wrong
So right
So right
So right
So right
So wrong
So right
So right
So right
So right
Maybe it isn't as bad as it seems

It's a universal law
All evens out over time

hell or high water

Am I lost
Or misguided
Call it a loss
Or keep fighting
Give it all I've got
'Till I'm tired out
Down to the wire now

Sold my soul
Lost control
I forgot who
Runs the show
Don't see it the same
I'll rearrange
All of my ways
Go through
Go through

Hell
Or high water
I am a fighter
Light up my fire
I'm ready to rise up
Through hell
Or high water

My eyes were big and bright
I tried day and night
(Day and night)
Fighting the demons of fantasy
Hypnotized before I fall asleep

Sold my soul
Lost control
I forgot who
Runs the show
Don't see it the same
I'll rearrange
All of my ways
Go through
Go through

Hell
Or high water
I am a fighter
Light up my fire
I'm ready to rise up
Through hell
Or high water

Apologies
Was I the enemy
I didn't mean to be
It was all a dream to me
I looked for every shortcut
I only got more stuck
Wasn't there for you
Now I'm going through

Hell
Or high water
I am a fighter
Light up my fire
I'm ready to rise up
Through hell
Or high water

backyard

I want the beach to be my backyard
I don't want to travel too far
To see the waves
To see the waves

When I win the lotto
I know
Where I'll go
The place I call home
Might not be there tomorrow
It won't be that far though
And I've waited for a long time anyway
So what's another couple days

I want the beach to be my backyard
I don't want to travel too far
To see the waves
To see the waves
(Yeah)
I want the beach to be my backyard
See the sunset
Strum a guitar
Watch the fire in the sky turn into stars
I want the beach to be my backyard

A place where I can sleep outside
Dream under the full moon light
The tide's singing me lullabies
This is the life
My debts are all paid and
It's not complicated
I just want to play
Yesterday gets washed away
And I feel great

I want the beach to be my backyard
I don't want to travel too far
To see the waves
To see the waves
I want the beach to be my backyard
See the sunset
Strum a guitar
Watch the fire in the sky turn into stars
I want the beach to be my backyard

Me and you
A postcard view
Our favorite shade of blue
Ooh ooh
​

I want the beach to be my backyard
I don't want to travel too far
To see the waves
To see the waves
I want the beach to be my backyard
I don't want to travel too far
To see the waves
To see the waves
I want the beach to be my backyard
See the sunset
Strum a guitar
Watch the fire in the sky turn into stars
I want the beach to be my backyard
Want the beach
Want the beach
Want the beach as my backyard

I see the sun in your eyes
When you smile that smile is so bright
You see the light in the world
You are my light
So don't let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Tonight

Cause all I need is you
By my side
When I am with you
It's alright

Ooh you catch me
When I'm falling
Ooh you answer me
When I'm calling
And oooh you dance with me
End up falling
End up falling
End up falling
Falling
In love, yeah

You make me feel like I'm new
Like I could do anything I want to do
If you're the light then I'm the fuse
So don't let me go
Let me go
Let me go
Whatever you do

Cause all I need is you
By my side
And when I am with you
It's alright
​
Ooh you catch me
When I'm falling
Ooh you answer me
When I'm calling
And oooh you dance with me
End up falling
End up falling
End up falling
Falling
In love, yeah
