It'll Be OK

Even if its not today
Just know that it'll be ok
Every wound, eventually, will heal
And all the little scars will fade
Into the laugh lines on your face
As if this war had never taken place
Even the brightest bulb needs changing
Even the dimmest stars alight
And beautiful flowers need arranging
The sun always wipes away the night
Hey even if its not today
Just know that it'll be ok
Every wound, eventually, will heal

You don’t have to know
When the lights come on
You can take it slow
You can shake it off
These fragile days
Won’t always break
Against the waves
So don’t be afraid ‘cause
Nobody knows what
Happens when our time runs out
We’re scattered in the wind or
Buried underneath the ground
“Everybody Hurts” is playing
so let’s sing it loud
It’s alright to pause
And to reflect
You don’t have to jump for anyone
Every time they flex
Lay your head
Down to rest
Sleep to the beat
Sink into it
Nobody knows what
Happens when our time runs out
We’re scattered in the wind or
Buried underneath the ground
“Everybody Hurts” is playing
so let’s sing it loud

A Fountain, Filling Up
04:03
|
|||
|
Suddenly I cry every time it rains
It wasn’t always this way
Just since you went away
At your bedside, you’d ask me for a song
Of course, I went along
Song after song
And it changed the way I see myself
And raised some questions I can’t answer
About legacy and my mental health
“Will I always be a fountain… a fountain filling up?”
Little things I’ll remember:
You were always polite
A little “Yippee!” out of nowhere
Always saving room for pie
You gave honest advice
Brought me root beer for the ride
Oh man, the looks on their faces
When you busted out a slide!
And you changed the way I see myself
And raised some questions without answers
About legacy and taking care of myself
Now I’ll always be a fountain
A fountain filling up

Pedestal
03:02
|

|
The pedestal that I built for you
Wasn’t born from fables and it grows in truth
By the fact that it's rooted in our youth
It’s strong as an oak and I’m sorry if that makes you
Embarrassed
But that reaction’s only gonna make me love you more
'cause you’re amazing
How do I tell you?
How can I help you understand?
I wanna wake up early to hear your voice
Wanna hold in my arms until we both make noise
I want to make you as happy as you’ve ever been
Want to help you remember and help you forget
If you're embarrassed
(That was only ever gonna make me love you more)
Cause you’re amazing
How do I tell you how can I help you understand:
- My love for you is endless!
- My love for you is boundless!
- That I adore you in your darkness!
- My only hope is that your brightness will shine on!
And on!
And on!

Sun & Moon
03:01
|

|
There was a time
You couldn’t apologize enough
Just like a creature of habit
Who didn’t know what a habit was
But you realized
That you can’t please everyone
They’ll sit in direct sunlight
And convince themselves its dark
You be the sun
I’ll be the moon
You bring the light
And I will reflect you
To the best of my abilities
Until I can’t do it at all
The other shoe will drop
No matter how careful we are
There’s a beginning and an ending
And this middle is all we’ve got
So let’s make it a ride
Where we take turns on top
Take that however you want to baby
Its a metaphor or it’s not
You be the sun
I’ll be the moon
You bring the light
And I will reflect you
To the best of my abilities
Until I can’t do it at all
We rise and fall and rise and fall and
We rise to face the day each morning
We fall asleep to tiny problems,
Rise again to try and solve them
Rise and fall and rise and fall and rise...
You be the sun
I’ll be the moon
You bring the light
And I will reflect you
To the best of my abilities
Until I can’t do it at all

Tick Tock
03:23
|
|||
|
Hey pretty in pink
Whatcha doing to me?
Have you always known the caverns of my heart?
I wonder if you
Even know what you do
When it comes so easy
We just blink and an hour is gone…
Another hour is gone…
I know I need to distract
And get my mind off this track
Little tiny race cars
Round and round until I’m thinking of you
I know what to do
So I reach out to you
Tell you that I’m thinking of you
And I know you’re thinking of me too
Another hour is gone… x3
Tick tock (tick tock) another hour away
Tick tock (tick tock) until I see you again
Tick tock (tick tock) another hour away
Just one more sleep until I see you again
Hey pretty in pink
Whatcha doing to me?
Have you always known the caverns of my heart?

Weird It Out
03:52
|
|||
|
T-shirt and jeans girl
You make me laugh
1000 watt smile
Not afraid to try again
You make me want to
Do what you want to
Lay down, take time
To figure it out
I want to feel you
Stripped nude
Of all the weight you bear
Walk the streets to
Chase the moon
We’ll be nameless
I’ll meet you there
Let’s just weird it out, now
Let’s get weird with it
Climb me like a tree with it
Let’s just weird it out, now

Sleep Jockey

Drunk as shit
Throw a fit
Makes no sense
If she won't amends
Why you waiting for it?
Guard your heart
The hardest parts
Are yet to come
Don’t you get to acting dumb
With your fingers and your thumbs
In a knot
You know you’re only making a mess, sleep jockey
Tuck your chin
Flush with sin
Just say no and sit your ass at home
And play it again, and again
You know you’re only making a mess, sleep jockey
You’ll find a safe place for all the love in your heart
But you have to find a way to love yourself as a start
You’ll find a safe place for all the love in your heart
If you want it, if you want it
Until then, you're only making a mess... Sleep Jockey
