Lightspeed 04:21
Blinking red light All systems fail I hold on tight Until cooler hearts prevail Because you can raise me up Elevate me And with just one word Uou can devastate me Light speed to dark Fire from a spark We go from a lovely afternoon To screaming under the moon I hurt you first You hurt me worse We go from a lovely afternoon To screaming under the moon We crawl through the dirt Like some soldiers sneaking up We fire until it hurts Then we're fire making up Because you can raise me up Elevate me And with just one word You can devastate me Light speed to dark Fire from a spark We go from a lovely afternoon To screaming under the moon I hurt you first You hurt me worse We go from a lovely afternoon To screaming under the moon

How I Swim 02:41
Oh baby, leave me in the lake How I swim As I get closer to the floor Light grows dim I won't ever drown I won't ever drown I won't ever drown Leave me to sink down I will drink it down Oh baby, leave me in the lake How I swim Sometimes I'm sinking like a stone Sometimes I float to the brim I won't ever drown I won't ever drown I won't ever drown Leave me to sink down I'll be home before the night falls The night falls I'll be home before the night falls The night falls I'll be home before the night

Pack all our shit, let's go When I'm done I always know Because the ceiling's low Heading east on the 10 And I can't remember when I felt such an amen Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning I'm no good at smoke and mirrors I always sing my fears This city don't care Now my face is overgrown My future is unknown And I've got joy to spare Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning Waist high in indigo Now big sky everywhere we go Baby we are free We trade an ocean for a lake They say we're making a mistake Baby no guarantee Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning Sky's so full of broken stars Sunlit hills and fancy cars Sky's so full of broken stars sunlit hills and fancy cars Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning Between the highway lines Keeping the wheels spinning

You know I've just been killing time Going on now twenty years Passing like a nursery rhyme Every day just disappears Suddenly I'm an old man Waking in the coldest sweat With a sense that I've missed something Though there's no sense in regret They say there's no sense in regret They say there's no sense in regret They say there's no sense in regret Can't fix the clock Can't turn it back We barrel through the zodiac Each year brings New wisdom Of all the shit you wish you'd done I dreamed it I wished it When my moment came I resisted And when my turn popped I could've gone ahead But I let the ones behind me go instead You know I've just been killing time Going on now twenty years Passing like a nursery rhyme Every day just disappears Suddenly I'm an old man Waking in the coldest sweat With a sense that I've missed something Though there's no sense in regret They say there's no sense in regret They say there's no sense in regret They say there's no sense in regret Can't fix the clock Can't turn it back We barrel through the zodiac Each year brings New wisdom Of all the shit you wish you'd done I dreamed it I wished it When my moment came I resisted And when my turn popped I could've gone ahead But I let the ones behind me go instead

When my faith runs dry And the day grows thin Is my love a lie Is it a place that I'm in Always feels like I'm climbing To the time of my life The time of my life Always feels like I am climbing To the time of my life Of my life What a slow, slow ride I keep a window seat Or maybe I'm poolside Barely dipping in my feet Always feels like I'm climbing To the time of my life The time of my life Always feels like I am climbing To the time of my life Of my life There we go to and fro There we go to and fro Always feels like I'm climbing To the time of my life The time of my life Always feels like I am climbing To the time of my life Of my life Oh, my faded one My faded My faded one My faded one

Digital Blue 03:38
Into the empty night, yeah, I go Cracks of darkness in my halo There's a better way, trust me I know To maintain the glow I send a message deep into outer space I have got no chill and no grace All I've got is words with no face It's grooving to a song with no bass Reaching out to no one Someone, no one Reaching out to no one I'm walking everywhere, but, man, it's so cold And I'm telling stories I've surely told Suddenly my eyes look so damn old I've crossed some threshold My message travels through the night sky Aiming for a warm, welcome eye This digital blue - my, oh my I try, I try Reaching out to no one Someone, no one Reaching out to no one Reaching out to no one Someone, no one Reaching out to no one

Butterfly 03:22
Go, go butterfly It's magical Didn't I try to do the same Fantastical How I try I'm so stuck here in my skin again An aspiring has-been again Put a little lemon in my gin again I'm so stuck here in my skin Go, go butterfly Transform the day Didn't I Try to do the same But the hard way How I try I'm so stuck here in my skin again An aspiring has-been again Put a little lemon in my gin again I'm so stuck here in my skin Go, go butterfly I can't change my ways Like you did I'm hanging in my phase I'm so stuck here in my skin again An aspiring has-been again Put a little lemon in my gin again I'm so stuck here in my skin I'm so stuck here in my skin (Oh, my whole life) Go, go butterfly

So High 03:58
How'd you get so high I've gotta know Take me anywhere you go tonight Anywhere you go You don't do anything for show You look like you don't even try, you glow So I go anywhere you go How'd you get so high I've gotta know Share your secrets, baby, share your flow I'm so desperate to let go You're taking some turns fast, taking some turns slow Climbing higher we don't look below So I go anywhere you go We're getting so high Lord, I'm so faded for you We're getting so high Lord, I'm so faded Lord, I'm so faded for you

I know no church I know no god But I've got faith for damn I know the good that burns Beneath the cold of every man I know the sweet and sharp taste Of not doing all I can I'm a broken man You understand Loving you Is all I do To tame my blue Loving you I know no church I know no god But I've got faith for sure I'll trade these coins for fins To swim down to the ocean floor I'll be a lighthouse for you Shine so bright you can't ignore I'm a broken man You understand Loving you Is all I do To tame my blue Loving you I walk in the middle of the night I don't know where I should go I walk in the middle of the night I don't know where I should go I walk in the middle of the night In the middle of the night In the middle of the night I'm a broken man You understand Loving you Is all I do To tame my blue Loving you Loving you
10.
I aint got a lot to wager But I know for sure I'm not Folding on the felt I've got this ace I've been dealt Honey, you're sweet like whiskey Kissing my teeth, I feel you Deep inside my bones No, I'm never along I believe in you I believe in you When your eyes Burn blue Tonight I believe in you I believe in you When your eyes Burn blue Tonight And for sure love's a gamble You roll the dice and it could All just go your way Or you could lose it all in a day I believe in you I believe in you When your eyes Burn blue Tonight I believe in you I believe in you When your eyes Burn blue Tonight
