Green Lights 04:30
Green Lights So long old moon, I’ve been waking up at noon Because I've been playing at the bars You're gone like a song. The birds sing sweetly that you're gone Yet you linger like scar Then when I'm awake, my brain makes the mistake Of reaching for you, knowing that you're gone Seems when I was free, you had a hold on me You’re the woman who can pull my fire alarm When I'm lying in bed waiting patiently Wishing all your red lights turn to green Thoughts lay in my head needing to be cleaned Wishing all your red lights turn to green Wishing you would come home quicker to me So long so soon, for you I will always croon You’re my single shining star You're gone like a song, the birds sing sweetly that you’re gone Yet you linger like a scar And by suppertime, I know you’re not far behind Till fill my world with all your bright sunshine Seems when I was free, you had a hold on me You’re the woman who can make me feel so fine

Sweet Music 04:32
Sweet Music Let's untangle all our worries and stretch out this string in time Let's make it move and jump and swivel and bump up Let's pluck it like a sweet bass line It's time to show, break out your fro, prove that you know you're feeling free It's time to dance, it's now our chance, let's now enhance and smoke some green It’s this sweet, sweet music got me tied up, I can't get free It’s this sweet, sweet music, oh what you do to me It’s this sweet, sweet music, coats my brain so sticky sweet It’s this sweet, sweet music, oh what you do to me It’s this sweet, sweet music, got me tied up, I can't get free Well ready or not well here I come, my worries ain't my troubles tonight We got to sway our hips and sip and roll with it, get higher than a red-eye flight Break out your flow, branch out and grow, lose who you think you need to be It’s time to dance it’s now our chance, let's now enhance and smoke some green It’s this sweet, sweet music got me tied up, I can't get free It’s this sweet, sweet music oh what you do to me It’s this sweet, sweet music, coats my brain so sticky sweet It’s this sweet, sweet music, got me tied up it can't stop me It’s this sweet, sweet music, oh what you do to me Oh my, I did it again. I got to cancel all my evening plans I got caught up with Mary two hours ago Now it seems I'm all tangled up in her smoke I never mean to feel this way when she's around I start off on the run but I end up lying down I can't say no to her sweet slow burn She always gives me such loveliness in return It’s this sweet, sweet music got me tied up, I can't get free Sweet, sweet music. Sweet. sweet music. Sweet, sweet music

Melt Me Down 04:53
Melt me down Let’s leave behind these cold dark streets Where lonely hearts search for relief And you could decorate my sheets It’s warm in here, let’s toast and cheers To dwellings of invite I do admit you do entice Your lips taste nice It’s almost dawn, let’s pretend that the day has two suns We can start over and over from where we begun It’s alright. I can’t help but want to stay You twist my rubber arm, take me away And you’ll start cause you read my mind out loud So come on over and melt me down Melt me down, down, down Melt me down And if that's your plan Melt me down like I know you can Melt me down, down, down It’s in the way you speak your mind You keep me guessing all the time My hands they follow your body line Let’s leave behind our obligations Leave that shit back at the station Let’s both get lost in our sweet procrastination

Without You 05:20
Without You What would the world look like without you Faded shades of green, turquoise and blue Muted sounds surround me but they won’t ring through What would the world look like without you What would the world be like without you Without the heights I've grown accustom to See the world now with a panoramic view What would the world be like without you Without you The way you occupy my quiet mind Sitting in the background like a lullaby Forever move my soul that sways inside It rocks me back and forth in perfect time The way we built up our own paradigm Beyond the clouds above yet still we find Endless ways to make it more sublime Baby you’re my sexy twist of lime Without you What would the world look like without you Leave behind the life I used to know Let it get unruly and overgrow What would the world look like without you Without you

Heavy World 03:00
Heavy World Try and try to stay afloat Keeping our heads dry while we're still broke It's a heavy world, it’s a heavy world Try and find some pieces inside Making them sparks to just feel alive It's a heavy world, it's a heavy world You caught me at the end of my string I was just swinging back, swinging back Swinging back By and by this time will fly It’s going quick like a blink of an eye It’s a heavy world, it’s a heavy world Had to pawn all my good shit for rent You got no money, then you can't make sense It's a heavy world, it’s a heavy world You caught me at the end of my string I was just swinging back, swinging back Swinging back

Le Feu 04:15
Le Feu Tu reviens encore dans mes rêves la nuit Tu bouges comme les goutes sur mon grand parapluie Même quand il fait chaud, tu me donnes des frissons Qui me touche le coup, comme des millions de ( d`) flocons Je suis emballé dans tes verts et tes bleus Les fenêtres de ton âme qui s`allument dans tes yeux Il n`y as pas qu`une façon, tu pourrais m`aimer mieux On s`embrasse et la pluie, ne ( n`) peu pas éteindre le feu Dans ton sourire je ne (n`) peu pas m`en sortir Je m`enfarge dans tes fossettes, c`est tout ce (c`) que j`ai à dire Tu me briserais le coeur, si tu me laisserais aller Et le ciel serait noir quand c'est ensoleillé

Belles Histoires Alors d’où elles viens Ces histoires d’apprêt toi Elles pourrais d’être un lieu sombre et perdue Une image d’une douleur oublié du passe Réapparais avec plus the beauté Belles Histoires, belles histoires, belles histoires Tous ces rêves vous me disiez, vous m’empêtrer je te suis Même que je sais votre Histoires n’est pas vraies N’est pas vraies Vos histoires se chevauchent Sa ne prend pas trop de temps Que t’es yeux son brillant en éclates Avec le feu qui dirige la parole Sa me touche chaque fois sa me colle Belles Histoires, belles histoires, belles histoires Touts ces rêve tu me dis, vous m’empêtrer je te suis Même que je sais votre Histoires n’es pas vrais N’es pas vraie Quand J’étais petite ils me disent je rêvais tout le temps M’es pense dans un monde par l’abas Je suis que je suis et tu es tout come ca Ils veules voir sur l’autre cote du miroir

Tippin' Over 04:02
Tippin’ Over Makes me crazy when you’re stressing me out When you’re ringing out my soul Every last drop just fills up the bucket And it’s tipping over too full You just see the ends but not the means No forest for the trees Find out what you need to love yourself And don’t hang it all on me Find what you need, don’t hang it all on me Makes me sad when you’re switching it up When you switch from hot to cold One track mind with turns every second Then I’m losing my control You booked the tickets for the plane But see, I was happy on the train Figure what you need to find yourself Don’t give me all the blame Find what you need, don’t hang it all on me Makes me crazy when you’re stressing me out When you’re ringing out my soul Every last drop just fills up the bucket And it’s tipping over too full You just see the ends but not the means No forest for the trees Find out what you need to love yourself And don’t hang it all on me Find what you need, don’t hang it all on me

Capsized 04:06
Capsized You slipped under the radar Like a ship left unseen Seems I tripped on the sneak up I think I just got lost in a dream Think I just got lost in a dream Waiting in the back Looked like you were dressed in black Let the light loose and shadows attack Looking back now it seems you capsized me But the cold of the water gave me clarity Think I've grown wiser I'd like to believe The lessons I've learned don't get trashed at the scene The Vaseline lens had been wiped down clean Think I am focused and I know what I need Now I am focused and I know what I need Waiting in the back Looked like you were dressed in black Let the light loose and shadows attack Looking back now it seems you capsized me But the cold of the water gave me clarity

Spokes 03:18
Spokes We all have our days, some easy and tough Well today I'm feeling rough Normally I would just walk this off But today my feet ain't enough Can I pedal this sinking heart, out of this plight Think it might help me fight, help me fight Leave my worries and woes, to dance in the dust Left behind by your shinning rear light Please would you let me ride your bike In exchange I'll lend you my uke for the night Please wouldn’t you borrow your bike for the feel So easy with only myself and two wheels I can control, how fast I go Take it quick, or nice and slow And catch the sunset show I want to feel weightless and free with no plans Throw caution and ride with no hands Let the bicycle seat and the air carry me To a warm place with you in the sand I'm unravelled and spinning my chains coming loose Lost my jokes through the spokes and my smiles aloof No this ain't me by tomorrow you'll see That the bike oh it helped me break free Just want to feel the wind in my face Pretend it’s the ocean sending its embrace It's now a bicycle built for two As I ride through the city I'm thinking of you I can control, how fast I go Take it quick or nice and slow And catch the sunset show

Off the Page 02:40
Off The Page I'll paint you polarized Make you shine in blue and orange light I'll make you shine and glow The way you make me feel inside my soul It keeps rising baby, rising , rising, rise There's no disguising, baby Can't stop writing love songs about you baby Seems I love you too strong for another maybe I've been stuck here in first gear about you lately Can't get you off the page You'll join me with your skin Bathed in black and white Straight from the lens You'll lie and twist with me Encapsulate this time We're young and free It keeps rising baby, rising, rising, rise There's no disguising, baby Can't stop writing love songs about your baby Seems I love you too strong for another maybe I've been stuck here in first gear about you lately Can't get you off the page I'll paint you polarized Make you shine in blue and orange light You're my light, you're my light Can't get you off the page

That Swing 05:43
That Swing I’m alright Jack , got a filled up flask And a rimmed hat on my head I don’t got wheels but I got an idea Where we can walk and talk instead Let’s talk the talk we always speak easy Let’s walk the walk let emotions fly freely Hang with the stars, sway like the trees Wrap my arms around you as we sway like the breeze You’ve got that, you’ve got that thing You make my imagination swing You’ve got that, you’ve got that thing You’ve got me day-dreaming as I sing… You’ve got me singing.. bababadyadada Oh you’ve got that swing We’re good so far Captain Black Cigars Have a sweet taste on my lips Thought I was cool like the sweet smoke rising I gave away every bit Man you where cool, oh man you can bluff Yes I was schooled, thought I had a straight crush Always talking about showing your nerve I want to give you every little thing you deserve You’ve got that, you’ve got that thing You make my imagination swing You’ve got that, you’ve got that thing You’ve got me day dreaming as I sing… You’ve got me singing.. bababadyadada Oh you’ve got that swing
