Hard To Find
02:55
|

If I told you that I felt I’d lost my shine
Not that long ago I felt like time
Was slowing me down
Slowing me down
Sometimes the path we’re on is hard to find
Hard to find Hard to find
Hard to find Hard to find
Back in time searching through old words
That was long ago can’t turn the page
Like a ghost I glide through the silent snow
Sometimes the path we’re on is hard to know
Hard to know Hard to know
Hard to know Hard to know
You came into my life without a sound
Not all things get lost before they’re found
I wish that I could look for things in clouds
Not all tears that fall will bring us down
Bring us down Bring us down
Bring us down Bring us down
Bring us down Bring us down
Bring us down Bring us down

If I Close My Eyes
07:11
|
|||
I’m standing
On a bridge at night
Just thinking about
Thinking about fishing
Are these the dreams
Everyone keeps pretending to be chasing
Are these the dreams everyone is chasing
My heart is pounding
My mind is racing
Cause one day
In the blink of an eye
This will all be gone
One day this will all be gone
If I close my eyes
Will I know I’m alive
If I close my eyes
Will I know I’ve died
Will I know I’ll be alright
Will I know I’ll be alright
If I close my eyes
Will I know I’m alive
If I close my eyes
Will I know I’ve died
Will I know I’ll be alright
Will I know I’ll be alright
If I close my eyes
If I close my eyes

Your Haunted Friend
04:55
|
|||
One day
When I’m gone
Can I
Be your ghost
Your house looks so cozy and warm
Can I
Be your ghost
I promise to be cautious careful and clean
You can bring me out at parties as a novelty
There’s a space waiting for me
It’s one I’ll never see
When I get there it’s the end of me
So can I
Be your ghost
I promise to be cautious careful and clean
I can text you at work when there’s a delivery
When the winter winds start blowing in
Can I be your haunted friend
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
Then sitting quietly with you watching tv
I promise to be cautious careful and clean
I’ll comfort you when you have bad dreams
One day
When I’m gone
Can I
Be your ghost
Your house looks so cozy and warm
Can I
Be your ghost
I promise to be cautious careful and clean
You can bring me out at parties as a novelty

Like a storm cloud in a spring meadow
It’s brought me to my knees
Like a storm cloud in a spring meadow
Rain will come but flowers follow me
Around Around
Around Around
Like a storm cloud in a spring meadow
I’m only here for a while
Like a storm cloud in a spring meadow
Someday I’ll fly away in style
Look around Look around
Look around Look around
Like the moonlight on a puddle
My reflection looks at me
Like the moonlight on a puddle
How long until I can’t touch the ground
The ground The ground
In the ground The ground
Like a storm cloud in a spring meadow
Life’s brought me to my knees
Like a storm cloud in a spring meadow
Rain will come but flowers follow me
Around Around
Around Around
Around Around
Around Around

I Feel It All
05:22
|
|||
My hands tell the story of my years
My heart tells the stories of my tears
My dreams tell the stories of my fears
My Dreams tell the stories of my fears
I feel it all
I feel it all
I’m in a fragile state of mind
I can’t remember how or why
The light from outside turns my bedroom blue
The light from outside turns my bedroom blue
I feel it all
I feel it all
It’s hard to imagine myself getting older
I once dreamt of different lives
But I dream you find your lavender garden
I dream you find your lavender garden
I see it all
I can see it all
My hands tell the story of my years
My heart tells the stories of my tears
My dreams tell the stories of my fears
My Dreams tell the stories of my fears
I feel it all
I feel it all
I feel it all
I feel it all

And Then What
04:02
|

And then what And then what
And then what And then what
Ever lie in bed
Arms across your chest
Holding your breath
Wondering about death
And then what And then what
And then what And then what
It’s hard to imagine
Nothing at all
It’s hard to imagine
White light and all that stuff
And so what And then what
And so what And then what
Will everyone I’ve ever known
Be waiting for me
Wouldn’t the room be very full
It’s hard to believe
And so what And then what
And so what And then what
Is this the bridge I’m meant to cross
Is this the bridge I’m meant to cross
If I came back again
And I tried to be your friend
Would you recognize me
Would you remember me
And then what And then what
And then what And then what

Am I Dreaming
06:02
|
|||
I remember when I was a kid
And I made my birthday wish
They said
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
I closed my eyes and crinkled my nose
And I felt that wish right down to my toes
But
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming
Again
Will the rain wash my ocean away
While I watch from my window up above
Will my starfish and whales disappear
Would the rain wash away my tears
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming
Again
Am I standing in a store or is it a dream
Am I talking quietly or is it a scream
Is there anything worth remembering from today
When years ago seems like yesterday
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming
Again
I remember when I was a kid
And I made my birthday wish
They said
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Don’t say it out loud Don’t say it out loud
Am I dreaming Am I dreaming
Am I dreaming Am I dreaming

She’s a natural beauty but I
Don’t I don’t think she sees me
I wave to her in my mind
I wave to her in my mind
One day she’ll see me
One day I’ll shine
One day she’ll see me
One day I’ll shine
She’s a natural beauty but I
Don’t think she sees me
I smile at her in my mind
I smile at her in my mind
One day she’ll see me
One day I’ll shine
One day she’ll see me
One day I’ll shine
She’s a natural beauty but I
Don’t think she sees me
I say hello to her in my mind
I say hello to her in my mind
One day she’ll see me
One day I’ll shine
One day she’ll see me
One day I’ll shine

Be who you are
You’re a star
Be who you are
You’re a star
Don’t worry about me
You’ll go far
Just be who you are
You’re a star
You don’t have to hide any more
You don’t have to hide who you are
My love for you goes so far
Just be who you are
You’re a star
You’re a star
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
When we were kids I saw what you hid
When we were kids I saw what you did
You don’t have to hide alone in your pain
Just be who you are
You’re a star
You’re a star
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space
We’re just ghosts floating through space

One Among Billions
03:52
|
|||
You’re just one
One among billions
That’s ok
Cause I am one too
I just want
Everyone to be happy
Even though I can’t get there myself
If you see me fade away
Know that I will be okay
You’re just one
One among billions
That’s ok
Cause I am one too
I just hope
Everyone can be hopeful
Even though I can’t get there myself
If you see me fade away
Know that I will be okay
Are we cosmic dust
Or cosmic debris
There are days I’m not sure which one applies to me
We are four
Four among billions
That’s ok
Cause you are one too
If you see me fade away
Know that I will be okay
If you see me fade away
Know that I will be okay
