Skies of September
Colors never seen before intensifying before your eyes
Then their demise into the night
Skies of September
Beauty that extends the ordinary things
Piercing the spot within your heart
Lifts you up, it lifts you up
It lifts you up to the skies of Autumn
Colors never seen by man, by any man
Electrifying. Piercing the spot within your heart
Lifts you up, it lifts you up
It lifts you up, up
Sun goes down and down
And it lifts you up and up
Sun goes down and down
And it lifts you up and up
Sun goes down and down
And it lifts you up and up
Sun goes down and down
And it lifts you up and up
Into the night
Into the night
Into the night
Oh, into the night
September skies
September skies
September skies
September skies

Roller Coaster

How did I find myself here again?
On this roller coaster, I am all alone
Victim to voices inside my head
And they say to me that I am not enough
I’m on roller coaster
Strapped in to fear
I’m strapped into ego
When am I gonna slow this terror down?
And when am I gonna know I’m in control?
When am I gonna find my peace of mind?
When will I know I decide?
I decide that
I decide, yeah
I decide that
I decide that
I decide
I decide that
How do I burden myself like this?
Asking questions to which answers don’t exist
Hurting my brain cells and spinal discs
With the stress that’s caused regarding all of this
I’m on roller coaster
Strapped in to fear
I’m strapped into ego
When am I gonna slow this terror down?
And when am I gonna know I’m in control?
When am I gonna find my peace of mind?
When will I know I decide?
I decide that
I decide, yeah
I decide that
I decide when to get off this roller coaster ride
I decide that
I decide when
I decide
I decide now!

Wind in Your Sails
03:26
|
|

On the shore of this ocean
There’s a boat with your name on it
Uncertain where it’s going
I can’t take not knowing
I’ve known this boat for a while
Let me be the wind in its sails
The wind in your sails
Unknown destination
Anxious anticipation
Tell me if you’re leaving
I’ll be grieving but I won’t stop you
I’ve known this boat for a while
Let me be the wind in its sails
The wind in your sails
You can go, you can go
Wherever you know you are truly meant to be
Like me you are free
Hope you know, hope you know
It’s the last thing I want to keep you from your dreams
That’s a selfish thing, but…
I’ve known this boat for a while
I just wanna be
The wind in your…
The wind in your sails

Too Much Time Apart
04:37
|
|
||
I forget how your lips move when you speak
I forget how your hand feels on my cheek
I forget why you leaving made me cry
I forget who we were when we said “goodbye,” yeah
I forget what it feels like in your presence
I forget now and then I’m not dependant
I forget how you look in the color blue
I forget it was cozy laying next to you
(Oh-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time
Too much time, whoa
I forget if you made me feel at home
I forget what you sound like on the phone
I forget what it feels like to be beckoned
I forget why I put my feelings second
(Oh-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time
I forget what it feels like to be wanted
I forget how it feels to want you back
I forget if your kisses made me dizzy
I forget why I thought that you might miss me
(Oh-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time
(Wha-ooh-oh) Too much time apart
I forget what it feels like to be wanted
I forget how it feels to want you back
I forget what it feels like to be wanted
I forget how it feels to want you back
I forget why I thought that you might miss me

These Hands Are Love
03:50

These hands work in the garden
Watering vegetables
planting perennials
packing the soil down
Daylight to indigo skies
These hands work in the garden
Watering vegetables
planting perennials
packing the soil down
Daylight to indigo skies
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are love
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are love
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are love
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are
Love (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Love
These hands work in the kitchen
Chopping up celery
mixing the spices in
cooking for you and me
Under the indigo skies
These hands work in the kitchen
Chopping up celery
mixing the spices in
cooking for you and me
Under the indigo skies
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are love
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are love
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are love
(Ah) These hands, these hands, these hands are
Love (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Love
She makes a garden with these hands
She cooks delicious dinners with these hands
She shows affection with these hands
She tells a story, she tells a story
She tells a story (hee-li-li-li-li…)
She tells a story, she tells a story
She tells a story
A story of love

Peterborough Street
04:18

My first apartment was on Peterborough Street
And on my walk to school each day, I’d think about my dreams
What I would become someday was always on my mind
Tomorrow and yesterday’s to-do lists, I will get through this, yes I will
And thanks to the sidewalks
That I walked every day
Developing my brain
On the pavement that supports me
It’s leading me to where I’m going
When I’m walking down on Peterborough Street (Peterborough)
As pleasant as walking could be
The birds sing along in the cherry trees (Peterborough)
And the bunnies come out around seven
When the people go home from their gardens (Peterborough)
Peterborough (Peterborough)
Peterborough Street
Daydreams and nightmares along Peterborough Street
Recounting such vivid subconscious anxieties, oh!
What I would become some day was always stressing me out
Tomorrow and yesterday’s to-do lists, I will get through this, yes I will.
And thanks to the sidewalks
That I walked every day
Developing my brain
On the pavement that supports me
It’s leading me to where I’m going
When I’m walking down on Peterborough Street (Peterborough)
As pleasant as walking could be
The birds sing along in the cherry trees (Peterborough)
And the bunnies come out around seven
When the people go home from their gardens (Peterborough)
Peterborough (Peterborough)
Peterborough Street
And I’ll miss the sidewalks
That I walked every day
As I grew into adulthood
I’ve got Peterborough to thank
And now I’m off to where I’m going
I was walking down on Peterborough Street (Peterborough)
As pleasant as walking could be
The birds sing along in the cherry trees (Peterborough)
And the bunnies come out around seven
When the people go home from their gardens (Peterborough)
Peterborough (Peterborough)
Peterborough, one more time! (Peterborough)
Peterborough Street

The Motions
04:25
|
|

Here comes the winter
It’s around the corner
Here comes the winter
Said, I don’t wanna wear my hat!
People are breaking out their black coats and gray boots
Saying farewell to the colors of October
And I don’t know why
I can feel myself slumpin’
Abandoning my gumption
I gotta keep the spirit
I really don’t want to feel like
I’m going through the motions of daily life!
Flailing in the ocean I’m scorching in the sunlight and
I don’t know my name here among the trees
They’re giving me the oxygen I need but inspiration I breath, breath
Here comes the cold
It’s drafting through my window
Here comes the unbearable cold
I don’t wanna sleep so tense
I resort the fetal position
I wake up with kinks in my lower back and shoulders
Oh and don’t that hurt so bad?
I can feel myself slumpin’
Abandoning my gumption
I gotta keep the spirit
I really don’t wanna feel like
I’m going through the motions of daily life!
Flailing in the ocean I’m scorching in the sunlight and
I don’t know my name here among the trees
They’re giving me the oxygen I need but inspiration I breath, breath
Here comes the snow sprinkling down from heaven
Here comes the sparkling snow
Isn’t it a miracle?
No need to feel lonely when hills are white and snowy
Find comfort in the beauty and suddenly I don’t feel like
I’m going through the motions of daily life!
Flailing in the ocean I’m scorching in the sunlight and
I don’t know my name here among the trees
They’re giving me the oxygen I need but inspiration I breath, breath
I breath, breath
I breath, breath

When I Paint This Town
03:01
|
|
||
I wanna paint this town with a blindfold on
Turn this blue house into a clown
Give me the time, you’ll see, it will be done
And I won’t be there when you come
Are you following close enough?
Are you listening close enough?
Crimson and purple, bruised with a spot of truth
I tried to paint over it for you
Come on and claim it yours, my work of art
I thought you would’ve had the heart
Are you following close enough?
Are you listening close enough?
I thought you would’ve had the heart
