Indigo 03:13
We were at the beach drinking limeade Before the storm hit the first tree I never would have guessed How you would be I started to panic I grabbed your hand wrapped around mine I kicked the sand and we ran For cover For shade Something to keep the rain away Cause I won't let you go I won't let you go I won't let you go I won't let you go Summers too far away I need you by my side I feel so selfish to want you But you are all I got So please don't go I can't even live to see you go Don't even talk to me Signal me Or let me in on anything but love That's how I get through my days I love you April break cut the first lines You held the rope that tied the bind In my hair and in my heart For nothing could ever be a strong As you I lay down the first eyes I ever gave or ever will You hold the boy who will never find love again And will always love you I won't let you go I won't let you go Summers too far away I need you by my side I feel so selfish to want you But you are all I got So please don't go I can't even live to see you go Don't even talk to me Signal me Or let me in on anything but love That's how I get through my days I love you

Prescott 03:19
To the park today Jane's gonna be there Never mind my shallow heart Beating for the words I won't ever let you go And how I follow you Doesn't matter to me The ocean breathes the cold back onto me And you do everything to make me happy Below the forest I'm sleeping light Through the sky she's flying high And Katherine She winds my book for me Candles lit the isle down my spine I never read that book in time How do you see You're gone And how I follow you Doesn't matter to me The ocean breathes the cold back onto me And you do everything to make me happy Below the forest I'm sleeping light Through the sky she's flying high Below the forest I'm sleeping light Through the sky she's flying high

Fifty 03:42
Friday morning I turn off my alarm The sheets unfold my naked legs to put the floor to shoe And morning food to savor our last goodbye Maybe forever won't seem so bad in the light of required new And what are your plans for the next four months You can't tell me you don't have a solid job One's ok but two is the best Paint a picture of your open mind Now tell me how much of it you'll let me in How much you'll let me rest Sitting there depressed They broke up and I care How Hard is it to see the light of day Coffee rings the bus that I get off Allston puts the water to my mouth Friends forgive and friends forget It's not like I won't ever see you again Your band is climbing up the ladder I'm impressed and getting sadder Sitting still depressed He shuts down and I care How hard is it to see the light of say Walking down the halls my vibe is low Empty out my thoughts of the year, what could of been what should have been In all my mind I said my last goodbye The whitest paint chips the indecision, to leave behind perform excision Still he's so depressed She left him I've been there Carry on they say It's only harder when you push it all away

Fresher Cuts 03:13
Waves are kicking up the grass again I'd tell you how much I dig you if I wasn't such a prick Maybe the sun will set before the rain Maybe your blue eyes will find mine again You seem down Waste away your tears You seem down Bring me your heart Seconds add to aspiration Of finding you before I hate myself Enough to not want to go on anymore But you are there Right next to me I'm waiting for the right moment I'm waiting for the stars to align just right I'm waiting for that perfect sunset When all my fears go away Why am I Why am I Digging the dirt For you

April 03:22
I'm not Myself Lately My motivation's Gone out the window Your surely not the first You surely last that I'll tell My head is spinning in circles The fights go long My heart burns indigo And through my looking glass The world can't be so out of it I swear There's no easy way to say I've been doing wrong But I've had enough of me I can't escape I don't have you right now You've gone to bed, I couldn't wake you up I've never felt so alone before Yet never cried so hard I missed The other side of me to the most I can't run away

Datura 03:16
People tend to throw money at the world From gold to bronze to paper in fact Pay what you will People tend to lose their mind in debt From work to news to family at best Pay what you will

Jackson 05:58
In Jackson New Hampshire I learned to ski And nothing felt harder than the ice In the mornings we'd pack Our bags so we'd never leave The mountain and all its paths Heavy on the rain Maybe it was signaling some change The next year we didn't go back to Jackson Because the house was no longer ours to use So we heard the tales of Tuckerman Ravine And how my uncle named his newborn kid after the slope And maybe all was fine And maybe we'd return to our routine And family gathering brought us closer together Jackson hadn't been spoken in years Until my uncle introduced us to a member of our own family A little pup that rode the roads From Alabama north to New Hampshire And I didn't know how much he'd mean to us (or anyone at all) Hell I was still a kid (still a kid) But even then I knew there'd be a time When he would live another life outside our own And Jackson the dog The spirit now that walks above us all He always seemed to help forget The life you live by day so you be with him And like the skis I wore when I was younger he will come and go But never be forgotten He'll never be forgotten Jackson

Iris 02:49
I scared about tomorrow The rain is coming back and signaling more change And I can't hold your hand from here But you have my heart and I threw away the key And maybe we'll find hope Crashing through the waves off the coast And we had it all Out for good Why won't I let the lake overflow Water sinks into the back of my throat I couldn't breathe if I wanted to You float empty my heart swims disturbed And maybe we'll find hope Crashing through the waves off the coast And we had it all Out for good Why won't I let the lake overflow And we had it all Out for good Why won't I let the lake overflow

Get up at dawn Gonna miss the first wave You've shown me love before The day shines bright You see what I couldn't be When your gone Please allow me Hope it's what Keeps me strong How could I Ever fall back down New acquaintances Make me regret what killed the old Ones What never would have been in love I'm in love with you

Midwest 05:59
All the way from San Francisco You breath life into my eyes We're all waiting for you to try And even though I might still Try to find away around you I found it hard to let you down And can't you just quiet down and let me explore the world once Push me toward the end of an era let me shine through a new one And I bought two plane tickets to Chicago Let undress your eyes underneath The skyline where buildings meet And I was born And heavy stars light my load Beneath warm cut woolen coats And soon I won't be cold again You flew an hour home just to see me I still remember the look in your eyes Searching for the skies Nothing beats touch downs to kissing throats Unbelievable wins to life unknown But you, I really know you And can't you just quiet down and let me explore the world once Push me toward the end of an era let me shine through a new one And I bought two plane tickets to Chicago Let undress your eyes underneath The skyline where buildings meet And I was born And heavy stars light my load Beneath warm cut woolen coats And soon I won't be cold again I'm really glad I didn't stay home I'm really glad you came and found me Lost in your eyes
