Wake Up 04:14
Eyes shut, like rainy windows Drops swimming like tiny minnows Sunlight peeks under my pillow Like "ho hey, welcome to a new day" And with these feathers in my bed And all this fog inside my head I could fly away from here To a cloud in my mind, But I know that I am gonna have to [Chorus] Wake up, wake up, ahhh I'm gonna have to to wake up, wake up, ahhh I never wanna wake up, wake up, ahhh Never wanna wake up So I lie here in yellow floodlights Rise up in a stormy sunrise And they always told me I'll never fit in 'Cause I don't wanna get up, but I'll never give in But this day is calling my name Who am I to blame? [Chorus] Such a beautiful day... (x5)

Loose Ends 04:18
You got to stop stressin' me Or else we going to have a catastrophe And I told you to rest in peace But as of late I've been here writing songs like these So it's back to whatever I said Something about what I can't remember I did 'Cause I never undid the yes, no's and maybe's And now my loose ends got me going crazy, baby Now I'm telling me just to let it go But something in your eyes pull me in like a belly roll Mistaking you for love but I think I might like it more Say you ain't on my page, you don't know you're the centerfold Now what's a boy to do? Gotta stop waitin' around 'till I'm bored with you, But I'm feeling kinda funky 'cause I'm sore with you, I'll explain in the chorus, boo [Chorus] And I'm feeling like I'm touching your heart and your heart's touching me But it might just be the loose ends we forgot to cut between So I say yeah, so I say yeah And I'm looking from the inside but I wonder what it seems 'Cause I just don't know if I want you for you or you for me So I say yeah, so I say yeah So I say, stop this, need a little more conscience I've held too long, yeah I know I should drop this But I got a confession I gotta just shout And it's burning a hole in my head until it get out But it's so hard to dedicate to you When you're turning your back on everything I do Like will you even hear me if I tell the truth And say I might still want you? So now I'm feeling pathetic but I'm apathetic that now you know Pride to the side and hoping I won't end up below Got a few things that I wish had been said before But that doesn't matter anymore 'Cause I'm vilified for nine types of narrow-minded vicing Possibly justified but now I find I'm splicing All the rhythm and rhyme I can get in my mind To let you know I just can't decide, whether I'm [Chorus] And I just don't know how to show what I can't describe... But I feel I need you to see what's behind these eyes... So bring it down, turn it around, I'm ready for your move Got a feeling I'm at the ceiling but I can break through So right now, I'm asking "how?", and tryin' to make room And I know that the answer's you And so I'm looking at you right now, somehow I need a sign Do you ever take a pause and just press rewind? Gotta know if you're mine, yeah I'm losing my mind 'Cause girl I'm through with the ambiguity every damn time I'm [Chorus]

Drink You In 04:15
Look at you smiling with your eyes, baby I'm sure to lose another night This time I'm ready to give in, baby One last try, both of us can win Yeah you left a smile spilled on my face, 'cause your Heart's sweet like pink lemonade, and I won't give up, no, 'till I drink you in Well I called you beautiful, but I didn't know the half Never thought you'd fill my soul with the way you make me laugh And I know you're something lovely, just what I'm searching for But do you think that there could be somebody to make you something more? Yeah, I fell asleep in a summer shade and I Dreamed that we were sailing away, and I won't wake up, no, 'till I drink you in

Untitled 04:28
You know there's a better life than sleeping on your feet Deep breath and you count to ten, but there's no one to see Speak soft but it's softer than, it's softer than the sea Walk into my arms again, it's just another dream I know it's been harder than you'll ever make it seem Speak soft to me as you fall, as you fall asleep, I'll hear Will you be better than yourself? Can you be good for someone else? Are you still the wonder and the wealth of the world? Come close and remember me, bring me to a home You said we can remedy, but I am so alone Two worlds that I'm in between, but I've never known, I've never known And one gone leaves another lost with something to be felt You said I could do it all and stand here by myself But this time I can only fall, fall into my swell, And disappear... and I'm trying to yell Will you be the savior from myself? Have you been here since I first knelt? Forgive me, for I have not forgiven you (x2) ...For I have not forgiven you... ...For I have not forgiven you... ...For I have not been given you

Seagulls 02:30
If raindrops carry tears Of generations here long ago Then I can sleep more soundly As the storm outside surrounds these cold windows My restless head won't cease, And tonight I won't sleep quietly For it's filled itself with you, And although I know the truth, I believe The song that you sing Will endlessly ring in my ear And when I close my eyes And whisper all my lies, you appear So scatter me at sea Under cloudy symphonies and silent swords And if seagulls still fly When the cold winds arrive, I'll be yours
