Parachute
03:55
|

I wouldn’t fall away – without a parachute
Some people tell the truth – somebody has to
When my feet touch the ground – one foot is all I use
I really need two – I really need you
I didn’t see the light, I guess nothing happens overnight,
And I don’t wanna fall away without you
I couldn’t see the way – as if the road was gone
I couldn’t sing along – it wasn’t my song, but
Maybe there is a breeze – someone who already
blew my shame out the door – my cherie amour
I didn’t see the light, I guess nothing happens overnight,
And I don’t wanna fall away without you
If you are my parachute, then I promise you,
I’ve never fallen so slow in my life
I’m glad to say, it’s okay, you’re a call away
I used to keep my phone silent every single day
I didn’t see the light, I guess nothing happens overnight,
And I don’t wanna fall away without you
If you are my parachute, then I promise you,
I’ve never fallen so slow in my life
I’m glad to say, it’s okay, you’re a call away
I used to keep my phone silent every single…
If you are my parachute, then I promise you,
I’ve never fallen so slow in my life
I’m glad to say, it’s okay, you’re a call away
I used to keep my phone silent every single day

I Wouldn't Say No
04:15
|
|||
If you wanted to fly to Mars,
I wouldn’t say no
Look at an apple and say it’s an orange,
I wouldn’t say no
If you wanted to start a band,
I wouldn’t say no
If you wanted to start a romance,
well, I couldn’t say no
You’re a maze that has no exit
I’m amazed inside your labyrinth
If you wanted to sleep in the rain,
I wouldn’t say that was insane
Eat a couple apples the size of the moon,
well, I will do that for you
Maybe I should just cancel my plans,
‘cause you hold me in the palm of your hand
Looking at the stoplight, it’s red as a rose,
and you told me to go
You’re a maze that has no exit
I’m amazed inside your labyrinth
Do you ever sleep at night?
Does it take some time?
Does your mind play games?
Games that don’t get played to lose
Anything you want
is a thing I’ll do – you ever sleep at night?
Does it take some time?
Does your mind play games?
Does your mind play games?
Games that don’t get played to lose
Anything you want
is a thing I’ll do

Walking backwards in my mind,
I couldn’t find a photo of the time
when two birds told me to throw the right stone
It was always problematic, like a jacket
with two holes where the pockets should be,
I don’t know why I keep walking back
Naked problems, lying there
I couldn’t be the tortoise or the hare
But two birds showed me the way to fly
Put me back up in the sky, and I know why
I see search in your eyes
You might be able to find
answers inside my antidote,
and it won’t stop
Pencil in my pocket, so I can write to you,
letters that connect all the words I want to prove
Everything is different when I see through
into other windows, unlike what I always knew
Passing away the time,
Skipping like a stone
You’re picking every rose,
Thinking that there’s always a new one
I see search in your eyes
You might be able to find
answers inside my antidote,
and it won’t stop
I see search in your eyes
You might be able to find
answers inside my antidote,
and it won’t stop

Mineral
03:41
|
|||
I don't know why I could never phase you
I pray to the world
that my words would break through
And time moves...
See it now,
Is it just like new?
Crawling away from the same emotion
Somebody stands
and then walks the ocean
Away, like sun
On a wave
On a simple day
Maybe this could be alternate history
But I think,
If you look just the right way into the picture,
Everything will rearrange and then it forms a figure
And I wanna be there to see you too
In my head I feel it forever
and then I know it's
something like a mineral
Crystal and stone
Walking with Chronos
This solid love is
something like a mineral
In my head I feel it forever
and then I know it's
something like a mineral
Crystal and stone
Walking with Chronos
This solid love is
something like a mineral
It could only break into two
Pieces traveling back to what we knew
Granite boulders inside my bones
Complex fossils inside your soul,
It's true
If it was just a page,
I would turn it over
But just the sound of your name
makes it even harder,
When time walks across stone
on bridges unknown
In my head I feel it forever
and then I know it's
something like a mineral
Crystal and stone
Walking with Chronos
This solid love is
something like a mineral
In my head I feel it forever
and then I know it's
something like a mineral
Crystal and stone
Walking with Chronos
This solid love is
something like a mineral
It could only break into two
Pieces traveling back to what we knew

Sharks
04:05
|
|||
How do you always know,
how to single handedly save my soul?
When a new direction seems like change,
the captain’s compass starts acting strange
Sharks in the water,
bite my feet,
making me forget what I know
Sharks in the water,
make me swim farther and farther
I could swim to the rocks,
I’m not getting lost
Leaving my island in the box, in the box...
When I rest my head I feel you there
Why does a question breathe so much air?
Loving what is right in front of you
Makes a tone-deaf robin,
sing their song in tune
Sharks in the water,
bite my feet,
making me forget what I know
Sharks in the water,
make me swim farther and farther
I could swim to the rocks,
I’m not getting lost
Leaving my island in the box, in the box...

Animals
03:51
|
|||
I wanna fast forward
Open the book and take a look, past the foreword
We only see four letter words
and I wanna go where the animal is unheard
If i could just rewind,
I would wanna go back to the time, when we had time,
just to fly around each other, like a couple butterflies –
Brown eyes, you're the monarch of my mind
I think you're the queen of my thoughts
I’m waking up thinking about what does
a monkey ever really want
I feel like a wolf in the back of the pack
Behind time, never in front
Rat race, I'm last and you're late
Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last
I think I’m picking up your scent
I sent a letter just to feel like
a person not an insect
If Samsa had a Samsung,
he probably would’ve called his mom,
but something in the water said no
We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time to look around?
We’re the only species that stares into a TV
and knows how we compound our sediment
When you broke the mirror, did you see yourself clearer,
and know now is the time...?
Do you ever wanna go
somewhere where no one knows that we are animals?
And do you know how sad I am
when a whole human breaks away the better half?
With that half glass, you won’t last

Wondering Why
03:16
|
|||
Round and around, we circle the light
Life is alive with heat in the night
We wouldn’t be here every single day without every ray
Every sunbeam makes or breaks a fragile place
Miracles come in many a shape
Ours is a perfect curve in a space
Walking across this great land, breathing oxygen
I can still reast my head on that, when it’s not flat
I can’t see every star in the sky
I know it’s easy to be wondering why
Wondering why
Ask yourself what you’ve been told
It’s probably right, will you ever know?
Wondering why
You want to find a community,
people that see the same way that you see
Living a lie will never really work, it will only hurt
And the problem is falling star will always burn
I can’t see every star in the sky
I know it’s easy to be wondering why
Wondering why
Ask yourself what you’ve been told
It’s probably right, will you ever know?
Wondering why

Other Nights

He could look through a window nobody closed
He would always see everything concrete
He could look through a window in a digital obstacle
He would never see how everything should be... be... be...
He would travel through London, alone with his luggage
He would never see the people he would meet
He could open any door and get what he asked for
Too bad it wouldn’t be exactly what he needed
And then someone who loved him fell from above him,
It was gravity picking up his feet
Took a short walk over to where he’s from,
Anything’s better than going numb
You don’t have to feel it by making lies,
Surprise, surprise
Just around the bend is something that never should’ve been
It's like the film inside a camera,
You might not see, might not see
Every part, every start, has to have an end
Like the wind blowing a silhouette,
You might not see, see it yet

Raining In L.A.
03:32
|
|||
I’m not afraid of trying to live under the rain
How could I ever be simile?
Do you compare everything?
And life won’t go by too fast,
if i don’t think like a Ferrari
And, now and then, it will rain
Raining in L.A., in L.A.…
I’m not afraid of trying to live under the rain
Truth be told, in my mind, that is gold
Money can’t buy what is dear, what I hold
I am alone when I’m walking in the canyon
Oooh…
Walk the world like it’s all in Ohio
Money blindfolds
Build a square into solar systems where
money can’t stare, but we know it’s there
Summer nights, come and go
Either way, I’m gonna know what is true
Now and then, it will rain
Raining in L.A., in L.A.…
Now and then, it will rain
Raining in L.A., in L.A.…
Truth be told, in my mind, that is gold
Money can’t buy what is dear, what I hold
I am alone when I’m walking in the canyon
with money companions
Truth be told, in my mind, that is gold
Money can’t buy what is dear, what I hold
I am alone when I’m walking in the canyon
with money companions

I Think
03:21
|
|||
Thrown away like sand
in an hourglass that has no past
Soldiers run like water does
in singular gardens all across the globe
We could see and think
like iPods sync, but
thinking up takes luck,
when the sound you hear
goes down, down, down
I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise
in a balloon size coffin
All aboard the train of thought,
We will ride away until the valley stops
Look ahead, I never said,
It would ever be easy to caress my mind
I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise
in a balloon size coffin
Maybe we can think about something that won’t make us sad...
I think therefore I am just like everyone,
Under sun, under moonlight
It might be right, when feelings can go so low then they rise
in a balloon size coffin

Daisies
04:39
|
|||
Daisies die when bullets can fly
across the open sky
Steel and blood will never save us
Enough is enough
Isn’t it clear when the clouds come apart?
The flowers carry sunshine in their hearts
Carry some love through the day from the start
And don’t conceal, reveal your heart
When did anyone get away,
away from a steel rain?
Somewhere far away from this place,
Love never goes to waste
Maybe it’s up to us here on Earth
to decide what a child fears –
Is it a gun? A simple question
Where will a daisy ever grow up?
If I could change the world for just one,
Daisies would only get shot by water guns
Innocent blood dripping from a window sill
Why do we give anyone a way to kill?
We don’t need enemies
Everyone plants a seed
And we’ll see what will be
Guns won’t grow on trees
If I could change the world for just one,
Daisies would only get shot by water guns
Innocent blood dripping from a window sill
Why do we give anyone a way to kill?
Or maybe it’s up to us here on Earth
to decide what a child fears –
Is it a gun? A simple question
Where will a daisy ever grow up?
If I could change the world for just one,
Daisies would only get shot by water guns
Innocent blood dripping from a window sill
Why do we give anyone a way to kill?
We don’t need enemies
Everyone plants a seed
And we’ll see what will be
