Always
We walked on the train tracks for miles
We slept on the floor for an hour and
Woke up anew
We could hear the neighbourhood's pool's
Children's screams as we walked
Away from home
Don't you wish this could last? [x3]
I couldn't say
These days
I walked to the island from my past
During spring break just to say,
It's not the same
Don't you wish this could last? [x3]
I couldn't say
Always
Say, these days, I don't feel the same
For every walk, I'll take something home
[Repeat 1 time]
Let's Burn in the Sun
On our walk, we sat on a bench
Out of a lack of anything to do, by the pool
Oh, let's burn in the sun [x3]
Summer Song
I like the cold weather, I like it when it rains
Summer's taking too long, I want it to pass
[Repeat 1 time]
When I sit here in the heat and think of who you are
I've waited for so long
At first, I found some joy in the lonely freedom
But when left to my devices, I lay around all day
Live in a made-up world, constantly indulge
Stay awake all night
It happens all the time
This happens every time
I like the cold weather, I like it when it rains
Summer's taking too long, I want it to pass
I like the cold weather, I like it when it rains
Summer's taking too long (I see you through stained glass), I want it to pass (like a moth in the dark)
When I sit here in the heat and think of who you are
I've waited for so long
Back to School Anthem
Another year, most likely worse than the last
Another year that will have to come and pass
But there's something different
Something different inside of me
This time I'm heading over you
This time I'm breaking all the rules
This time I'm trying something new
And that's not a lie
Chapters
When I was young, I'd sit on the gym floor and listen to a tall priest
The drones of bagpipes echoed through the room in honour of the deceased
I see faces in patterns on the shower tiles
Faces I'll miss more than my closest friends in a while
In my youth, I knew better
Lesson learned, just a chapter
Fluorescent lights, dirty floors, and white walls surround us once again
My only hope comes from old TV shows, and my friends, they don't listen
And why should we be laughing if we're dead?
I'll wait here in my room for you instead, in bed
Come on now, come together
Be open with each other
In my youth, I knew better
Lesson learned, just a chapter
Da da da da da da da [x2]
A dream, a dream
Just a dream
Halloween 2014
Ghosts walk the streets at night, ah [x2]
All gathered on the couch, we seek old joys in the new, in the night
Making our voices heard, we go out into the dark, with our lights
And he doesn't know
What he wants
What he wants
No
Ghosts walk the streets at night, ah [x2]
When everyone's asleep, I stare under the couch, think awhile
A window, high above, lets sunlight slowly come into the room
And he doesn't know
What he wants
What he wants
And I said
Now I know
What I
Want
I want...
Give Me Life
Love, love, love, good love, give me life
When push comes to shove, it's time to stand up and fight
The girl I like shares somewhat similar interests
The girl I like, well, I don't like her quite just yet
But she fell for another
Someone who wouldn't judge her
Someone completely unlike me
And I don't have much time left in here to live the teenage life
And I just spend my time wandering and sitting in the halls
But I know there's no use wasting time on entertaining lies
So I'll just spend my time wondering, oh no
Love, love, love, good love, give me life
When push comes to shove, it's time to stand up and fight
The girl I like appears in dreams so vividly
Lately, all I can see's aquatic imagery
I don't know what she's like
I don't know what she likes
I never even caught her name
And I don't have much time left in here to live the teenage life
And I just spend my time wandering and sitting in the halls
But I know there's no use wasting time on entertaining lies
So I'll just spend my time wondering, oh no
And all I want is a little bit of energy
And all I want is some kind of distraction
And all I want is a little bit of history
And all I want is attraction
Love, love, love, good love, give me life
Give me life
Give me life
Long Winter
When I wake up, I think of you
In the shower, I think about you
Harsh winter days, stuck in a haze
I think of you while waiting in the cold
The school bus comes get me, and I'm strangely happy
Another long winter for you and me
The days aren't too long,
The cold wind is strong,
But I don't mind
With you by my side, I never notice the time
With you, with you, with you
In bed, I can't stop rubbing my face
Dim lights, snowfall, it'll all be effaced
I fear the day my dreams will fade
Another long winter for you and me
The days aren't too long,
The cold wind is strong,
But I don't mind
A long winter for you and me
The days aren't too long,
The cold wind is strong,
But I don't mind
And I can't tell you how long I've waited
But I can tell you how it felt
I needed you
It's a cold night and the wind is starting to blow,
And a street light lights an angel covered in snow
[Repeat 1 time]
Another long winter for you and me
The days aren't too long,
The cold wind is strong,
But I don't mind
A long winter for you and me
The days aren't too long,
The cold wind is strong,
But I don't mind
It's a cold night and the wind is starting to blow,
And a street light lights an angel covered in snow
[Repeat 1 time]
When I wake up from this wishful dream,
I'll sleep, I'll sleep, I'll sleep, I'll sleep
Christmas 2014
In the morning, there was nothing in the air
I slowly yawned my way down the same stairs
I spent the night on my cousin's couch,
Wondering what happened to this house
And so I place myself inside my room
Stand still for a moment and resume
I still hope things aren't how they seem
The way things tend to play out is obscene
Memories of Christmas past, lying on the floor in sleeping bags
We tried to stay up all night long, we didn't know about the distant paths
I know we'll always be decent friends, I don't think we'll ever keep in touch
And now I rarely play along, turn our heads and accept what is lost
Turn our heads and accept what is lost [x2]
Bus Time
Out in the dreary field,
Make graves for all I've missed
Some hollow voice, I'll just get a laugh from it
Get out [x2]
What'd you expect from this?
Some televised godsend
I stand in line brokenhearted at the caf
Watch them hang around the front yard in a trend
I've been sitting on this bus now to no end
Walking by without a countenance, as a friend
I wish I were sitting next to you
Look outside yourself
Outside the window
How could that appear so appealing?
On the ivory of the priestess, I don't mind
I'm the one who chose to sin and I don't mind
Thoughts, they wander to sad places
When you're on the bus
Summer hot sun through the skylight at the mall
I wish I could skip school like you did that day (you're so brave)
Daydream looking out the window, in the back (I've been sitting in this classroom far too long)
Just another shift in season, spring is here (I wish I were sitting next to you)
Daytime Moon
A daytime moon
In early June
In all of this,
Where would I stand?
And through ever plight,
I might find a light
And say
Oh, how the day
A daytime moon
In early June
The sky is bright
Under my sheets
The tough times ahead
I can't be misled
Regardless, nothing's
Like before
Can't say what I mean,
But some days I believe
We'll climb to the
Top of a tree
