Wake up, do you hear the waves, they crash against the shore? Starfish tumbling onto the coastline, won’t you stop that snore? Can you hear the bluebirds singing to you, “good morning darling”? And do you hear the wind’s howling for you, “good morning darling”? The sun’s coming through, the sun’s coming through your window And there’s clear blue skies, clear bright blue skies (the grass is very green today) A robin overhead is singing tunes of love, tunes of joy Oh everybody everywhere is looking for you just to say, "good morning, good morning darling!" Cold hands will wake you but so will my love I want to show you a world of wonder
2.
They tried to tell me I was crazy To love somebody who won't care for me But they can't see what's written between the lines The magic hidden from their minds And now I'm falling slowly And now I'm falling fast I tried to tell myself to move on Those blissful moments have come and gone But I swore I saw a constellation in your eyes A distant universe beneath your mind If you whispered a lullaby To me last night I heard you try to complete the rhyme (It took some time)
3.
Loose Ends 03:29
Sing a song Doesn’t matter what the words are Tell a secret The caliber don’t matter You can live your life Hiding under the sheets Or you can choose to see the world with your own two eyes And make the loose ends meet I can’t feel the ground Beneath my own two feet I am living high above the world in my demise Droplets fall From your eyes Don’t worry ‘bout the pain You’ll forget it all soon anyway Use your time to make something new Something you love But don’t be blinded by the walls of your own little world Don’t be like me

Nebulous 03:39
5.
I wonder if it's dark on your side of the world Or if you can still see the sky's colors turn How could it be that we're looking at the same thing One’s a misty mystery and one’s a clear scene I wonder if it's this dark on your side of the world Constellations in the ground Flickering without a sound Constellations in the ground Flickering I wonder if you feel as lost as I am Or if you can still find guiding light in the sun How is it fair that we’re forced to be oh so far Miles after miles couldn’t get me to you I wonder if you’re feeling as lost as I am
6.
Portland 03:27
On bustling Fremont Street a Family of five is smiling To them it's raining golden To me it's grey It's their time to shine While I'm left behind Cute coffee shops and loads of Couples with dogs, I'm jealous I wish I was that far with you But I guess I can wait So long as we don't fade It's pouring in Portland baby Tell me that I'm not crazy We'll win and lose now and then Gotta find that golden ticket to heaven Over the Willamette bikes, Cars roll along in sync and Gaze at the beauty of that Dazzling skyline The bright white stag Has no price tag I wasn't sure if it was You or me but now I know for sure
7.
Give me a reason, give me a reason Why we’ve built our lives upon a box with a screen Where’s our ambition, where’s our ambition? All we know is fantasy, bombarding our eyes I’m fallin’, fallin’ down to my knees Sayin’ baby please, let me go I’m cryin’, cryin’ no, I am not supposed to be Lost in Technicolor Sea, don’t let me drown They’re on a mission, unnatural collision Our childish minds are now filled up with death in disguise No supervision, not until we see the sun Our lives will fall apart just like the ones on our screens Tangled up in the business enterprise But is it a surprise When we’re just children Looking for distraction All our dreams go awry, formed by Microscopic utopias
8.
Candy Clouds 03:48
I escaped in the cold dead of night just to find Myself, lost I am nothing when I can’t see sparkling skies You said "baby, the sun will come back but for now Just hold me Darkness will come and go if you only allow" "Cus I believe in golden moonbeams And I believe in rainbow starlight" Bring me back to the daisy days, and my carefree ways Bring me back the smiles I'm watching all of the colors fade in the end Red, violet, yellow, blue, orange, and green, my friends Let's try again Looking up I let all of today float away Flying higher and higher just out of my reach There is nothing so magical as candy clouds, Edible I would dance forever if I only knew how But my eyes are blinded by reflecting gleams And my eyes can only see in black and white Bring me back to the daisy days, and my carefree ways Bring me back the smiles I'm watching all of the colors are mine again Red, violet, yellow, blue, orange, and green, my friends Let’s try again
9.
Hourglass 03:45
Wilted flowers Long ago Countless hours On my own Gave up dreaming silly love stories Good luck finding fantasy Stilted romance Cast away Give one more chance Another day Letting go of all my worries Falling for your gravity Oh I never thought that we would be anything more Now here I am so happy to call myself yours It’s funny how time can change us all, How time can change us all Who coulda guessed that you would walk right through my door Now when I wash my clothes half of them are yours It’s funny how time can change us all, How time can change us all Shifting like an hourglass Perspectives meet to make a match My heart, you will stain Everything will change
10.
Ghosts 03:29
Silence in disguise Closes in again So I say goodbye again Can’t wait until I’m gone Slightly wasted on God knows what Fire in the skies Rainin’ down on us They’re giving up on us Can’t hold it in anymore Slightly crazy now Obsessing over and over the ghosts inside my head
11.
Wishing Well 03:48
Tossed into a wishing well Waiting for you to ring the bell Change piles up like broken leaves Fortune's hands dig in, the thieves The faces tangled in my hair Between these walls that go nowhere Whoever had the thought that luck could be found At the bottom of a hole beneath the ground Leapfrog players out to sea See a structure suddenly Eager eyes look down below My heart beats its own scherzo "Heavens do you see that?" Heavens do you see me? "All our wishes lay there! All it takes is just one throw!" Oh no You said that water washes All our hearts clean, does that include me? And if so how do I know if I'm ready to jump off the cliff?
12.
Butterflies are flying higher than we could dream of Where do you think that they all go? In a plane I can see the skies but I can't touch them I'd be damned if I could be so free I'd see the sands of Egypt Glowing golden under the sun The Great Wall of China Never looked so good than from up above Fluttering in the wind these wings are flowers, fragile With just one single touch we will come falling down I've seen the snows of Antarctica Shining silver under the moon The Grand Canal of Italy Always looks so fun from in the clouds Look once, look twice Do you see the angels dancing, Lighting up the sky with rainbows? (What's that, who's there?) I swore I heard somebody calling "The sun is falling, you can go to sleep now"
13.
I’m no longer scared or ashamed What has passed is the past and I’m moving on If and when I’m tripped by temptation You’ll be my angel to pick me off the ground I can see us sittin’ by the fire playin’ our guitars together Can’t you see us singing along to the Beach Boys on vinyl? Oh we will have the life that we have always dreamed of ‘Cus you’re the one for me And I’m the one for you I know it’s cliche to say but it’s true I know I don’t know who you are yet, boy But when we meet I’ll know you’re my perfect match, My missing half, my shooting star, my apple pie, so sweet to me You’ll be the laces in my shoes, the strings on my guitar I can see us laying under stars and pointing at the constellations Can’t you see us giving up on sleep to see who beats Zelda first? Oh we will have the life that we have always dreamed of ‘Cus you’re the one for me And I’m the one for you I know it’s cliche to say but it’s true If people say that I’m crazy I’ll just say that I’m crazy in love No I don’t care ‘bout what people say about us This bad weather can’t last forever I can see you at the end of the aisle as I’m walking with my father Can’t you see us standing at the altar as we both say “I do”? Oh we will have the life that we have always dreamed of ‘Cus you’re the one for me And I’m the one for you I know it’s cliche to say but it’s true
14.
I wanna swim in the ocean Hide from my fears and emotions I want seashells and sand castles built over me A cold glass of tea and a salad of seaweed I wanna swim in the ocean Manatees, anemones, deep seas as far as I can see Cumuli insist that I comply and start to dream high Filled to the brim with devotion No need for any loco mo o o ti o on There's nothing so pretty as beach lit by moon I'd love to climb up to the top of the sand dune I wanna swim in the ocean Manatees, anemones, waves bigger than you've ever seen Cumuli insist that I count higher so I close my eyes I'm not ready, not ready Magically its majesty is calling through the ocean breeze Singing through the mist of such a bliss that one could only find Drifting in the sea
