California 06:12
lyrics

I wanna move to California While there's still time Before I get much older While I'm still alive And if we should please We'll stroll down the sandy shore Right next to the ocean And we'll be alright.... I'm on my way to Cali!

No Reason Why 04:31
lyrics

When we were kids It all made sense We keep on running around Getting down before the old man flips But now we grew up and don't give a fuck We're nobody's baby But baby we were yesterday's sun We cry out and deny, deny But we got no reason why And who would know our fate Would be so commonplace? We keep on running it over and over 'Til the end of our days Impossible to win They say our time will begin But we were over and done with the end Before the end of the night We cry out and deny, deny But we got no reason why We were out in the morning And the sunlight seemed to shine away from you Were were out in the evening And the moonlight tried to hide it from you too And everybody that I know has it written But they all should have it made And everybody that don't know Just keep singing the same song into their grave... Now it's over and done with Now you can go home Now it's over and done with And I'm still your friend Now it's over and done with Now you can go home Now it's over and done with And we're still friends

I Made My Choice 03:20
lyrics

Back in the day there was a girl She had just one more thing to tell the world She said... There is more than meets the eye, eye, eye There is more than meets the eye, eye, eye You best not sit around and cry, cry, cry 'Cause heightened minds yield brighter skies, skies, skies Back in the day no on could say If all their actions would hold weight today But she had it right The best advice I ever heard came cut and dry She said... There is more than meets the eye, eye, eye There is more than meets the eye, eye, eye You best not sit around and cry, cry, cry 'Cause heightened minds yield brighter skies, skies, skies And I made my choice

Come Find Me 03:16
lyrics
buy track
When you're drinking wine Smoking all your time away Come find me 'Cause I've been fading fast 'Cause I know it never lasts It's easy to let it go As I sit in my room Thoughts of all-impending doom Consume me It happens all the time But you know, I feel just fine It's easy to pass the time And this is what we've got to work with

Just The Other Day 07:03
lyrics

Nice to meet you my friend Knew I'd see you again Now that we're at the end Don't know where to begin Thought you were unstoppable - had it all together Pull the people up - gettin' down for whatever But everybody's gonna push you if you're shoving them And ain't nobody gonna love you just for loving them And you can see yourself running through reflections Tryin'a leave and re-establish your perception But ain't nobody gonna step out of your way You've got to go And they'll say you left your friends And you'll say you found yourself And you'll say you found it all Nice to meet you my friend Knew I'd see you again Now that we're at the end Don't know where to begin Thought it could be anything holding you together Everybody's down for the count 'til whenever And we gon' pick it up and put it back together Count it up to the sky for forever And everybody's gonna fight you if you're fighting them And everybody's just as frightened now as they were then So you fled in the opposite direction and everybody ran away And you say you made new friends And they say you made new enemies But you swear it's worth it all And that's alright... We find our place Make our mistakes Then we get up

I Know I Should Be Out At Night 04:06
lyrics

I I could get by Living in an old Simple, material life And I I sympathize With everyone running all around Trying to make it up And I know I should be out at night But I still find myself at home All alone I think I can make it work I think if I put in work That I'd be free to get out once or twice But it's alright - it's alright Whatever I'm going through is just the same old thing

On The Freeway 04:55

Could you take me there To a place I'd love to go To a place I'd never show Could you take me there To a place I'd never go To a place I'd love to show (to a place I'd never shu - shu - shu - shut your mouth) We were on the road You looked at me and smiled I said "baby, we're goin' all the way" And when we come back We're just gonna take it and spread it out (I got myself, my body says)

Venice Beach 07:06
lyrics
buy track
I arrive at Venice Beach When I'm walking in my sleep Felt it churn beneath my feet Nothing ever felt so sweet Standing at the edge of time All illusions left behind Whatever has become of me Is drifting away to sea All my friends and family Gathered all around me They were all waiting to see if I'd flee In my dreams I'm always free Endless Possibilities Tired of my waking life, that's me Sail into the infinity of the sea Don't wait up for me There is so much more to see

Moving On 04:22
lyrics
buy track
If you were my only friend (only friend) I do believe I could stick with you until the end But seeing as there's a whole wide world out there Would you really care - if I disappeared from here? You and I we go all the way (all the way back) We would fight, then we'd take it back (all the way back) Learned to count on ourselves through thick and thin But in the end - was it all for nothing? We were so young when things got rough (things got rough) We were so young when things got ug- (things got ugly) And all those times when they fucked with us (fucked with us) Maybe it's time that we faced our enemies I've moved on in my mind (in my ma- ma- mind) I've moved on in my mind (in my ma- ma- mind) Got older and left behind (left behind) I've moved on in my mind (in my ma- ma- mind) So don't try and tell me how to live my (how to live my) life In the backseat of your car - I know where it's going And baby, don't you know I got it figured out We're not in the backseat anymore! We were so young when things got rough (things got rough) We were so young when things got ug- (things got ugly) And all those times when they fucked with us (fucked with us) Maybe it's time that we faced our enemies Maybe it's time that we faced our enemies

Presence 06:56
lyrics
buy track
I was fucked in my head for quite some time No one understands it but that's alright As long as I can make it to bed at night That'll be the day when I've won the fight Everyone's got those things they keep to themselves Share it with your partner - or no one else Gotta find out new ways to pass the time Gotta find out new ways to stay alive And I am so afraid I cannot slip away I wont let my presence fade I can't let my presence fade and we find our presence known and we find, we find... All this time - been standing in front of it Tried so hard to not be so full of it If this is me then I want no part in it My life ain't no fairy tail, make-believe shit And I am so afraid I cannot slip away I wont let my presence fade I can't let my presence fade and we find our presence known and we find, we find...
