Sun's Nocturne
03:27
|
|||
|
Let's get away from the routine days
Mix it up with something that you never say
"How about we take a walk,
and talk for a while?"
Early mornings used to be my jam,
but lately I'm just stuck in the nightlife land,
walkin' with the drunks and the beautiful stars
'til the Sun comes to tell me that I've gone too far
We're all humming along to the nocturne of the Sun
putting away the moon as quick as it's begun
We're all humming along to the morning's gentle breeze
trying to keep from feeling empty
yeah, empty!
Hey, I know this perfect little place:
a little cafe with a mood that's just our pace
Won't you say, "I'd love to try it,
so long as you're buying"
Oh, you know I am
Short skirt on a rental bike with me
Down the block its 68 degrees
Singin' our favorite tunes, how about some classic blues
to the rhythm of our heartbeats
And it sounds a little like this, oh yeah!

Cigarette Break
03:03

Take a step off the train, feel the wind in your face
Rocky Mountain valley, isolated, congealing,
all of the people say
There's just enough time for a cigarette break,
trees filled with gossip, lighting up a mistake
cyan riverbeds, they tell me all about
you
Hills of turquoise grass, kiss my sordid feet,
enveloping my lungs with the agitating fumes
of a God that won't respond
All alone in the middle of this sleepy town,
reddish rooftops that won't keep me safe from a frown
the signal's dead, girl,
were you ever there?
There's just enough time for a cigarette break,
trees filled with gossip, lighting up a mistake
cyan riverbeds, they tell me all about you, is it true that
there's just enough time for a cigarette break?
trees filled with gossip, lighting up a mistake
cyan riverbeds, they tell me all about
you

Midnight Drives
03:17
|
|||
|
Overcast, watch sunset fall,
stars twinkling out of sight,
terrified of what you might say, so
I'm disconnecting from the world
So obsessed, the answer is you
to all of my concerns,
summer skies, overwhelmed, and
all the constellations are blue
Midnight drives are over, I'm so sick of being sad
Midnight drives are all I have to keep myself around
City lights pass on by,
I'm a slave to my dreams,
maybe one day (or so it seems)
at least that's what they've all told me
Give the wind all of your gloom
Let the breeze guide your way
Life is meaningless to all but us,
so drive until the feeling's gone,
and its not wrong
Midnight drives are over, I'm so sick of being sad
Midnight drives are all I have to keep myself around
Midnight drives will cover all of my insecurities
Midnight drives are all I have to keep my body out of the sea

Pacific Blues

On the edge of Pacific blues,
wishing I were here with you,
everything would be much easier if
you decided to stay
Iridescent fingertips,
on the edge of the tide they sit
asking if the world should bother healing,
from where I sit its sure worth stealing
San Francisco, my first love,
how I missed your streets of blood
and all the poshest things that life can give
in the prettiest city of sinners
Letting go of a beautiful life,
its not easy, but who am I to judge?
After all, its just a rusty bucket boat,
coasting far, far away,
yeah far away!
