Circling 03:19
lyrics

The circling birds don’t even have a care The sand beneath your toes, the ocean air Looking out on cloudy beaches, your hair drifting in the breeze And the fire in your eyes, glowing silently You tell me now that you’ve been here before Slowly, gently the waves erase the shore Ahead by the breakers, you wave your arms to me And the world that’s around me, I’m living in a dream And when the sun begins to drown When the colors fade away You shine to me You’re all I see You’re real to me I’m amazed In hell I used to walk alone at night Obscure ghosts look on from the streetlights That city of trees was burning around me Slate ashes in the morning - all that I could see

Heart Beating 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Never worried about wasting time Or what the day could bring Even when it’s cold outside You always have your spring You’re trapped inside your labyrinth And you never brought a string And the price of killing all your pain Is the cost of all your dreams Then you’re walking up to me And my heart starts beating Faster and faster again Fevers, highs Your hands are shaking all over again Close your eyes Can you see a future? Staring in your dilated eyes Though I know you’ll never see The door was always unlocked And you always had the keys Then you’re walking up to me And my heart starts beating Faster and faster again Fever, highs Your hands are shaking all over again Close your eyes Can you see a future . . . Now? I would dream about your every night If I could just fall asleep I would always want you by my side If I didn’t have so many secrets to keep

Copper Wire 03:17
lyrics

Every time the cars pass on my left When I hear that wind I hold my breath Could it be this time? Is this mine? Staring at the gray that’s all around Glancing at the asphalt on the ground I imagine flying Flying like you Glitter and glass shot through the sky Copper wire sparks and brilliant eyes Lifting you up, higher Oh so high Enamored with the red staining your hair Tasting all the shards flying through the air Beams of light always shined on you Sleeping for days I hope you come around I’m trapped in this endless maze and I can’t make it out You were my world and then I turned around And everything had changed I think I’m wasting time Is it yours or mine? I hear the clocks unwind This ticking from inside Please leave a trace behind Something I can find I think I’m wasting time Is it yours or mine? The TV in our room is off and dark The silence etched your name into my heart I know there’s no use trying, nothing i can say The faces come in and out my door But I know it’s only you I’m waiting for I know you’re smiling Smiling for me

Shadows 05:00

The sun is blinding me I’m pacing the steps to your door again Where I know you’re there waiting You’re lying on the grass You see me and say my name And the scarlet of your lips is calling This heat is killing me—I can’t take it Still the way your hand brushes past mine It takes the breath from me Your shade covers my eyes Ane these shivers running down my spine are taking over me We can lay here and just watch the sky We can just look up and see the clouds pass by Or we could run away We could say goodbye to everything know No one is waiting for us at home I’m all alone without you Your hair is in your eyes And your love is falling down And it’s all around me now The sun setting now I’d take you home, but home is just The last place I want to go You smile and look so far away And I’ve never been in love before So I’ve got this feeling that I’m at the edge of the world This ocean ceiling—my heart is in a whirl We can lay here and just watch the sky These warm evenings just set my head on fire Or we could run away We could say goodbye to everything know No one cares for us at all I’m all alone without you We’re two drifters through and through Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m me or you They sky’s so clear and endlessly blue Please take me anywhere with you I’m all alone Without you
