Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Come on baby Hold me slowly Let me live inside the picture That I really wanna picture But you’re ready So were going And I don’t know where we’re headed But I know I gotta drive Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oh mother I hear you whisper I feel you rocking me to sleep If it’s a drug I’m in it deep I’m overdosing Help me sister I can feel the water rising But I think I know the cure Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oh it’s gonna be a cold one here tonight Ain’t no sense in leaving on the light Hoping that you’re near To pull me out of here But nothing’s gonna come And no one’s gonna save me now Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Save me now) Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh I got the answer Before the question Now I’m walking back the riddle To try and meet em in the middle There’s a science To found religion Knowing so many have suffered Who am I to drop the torch? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oh it’s gonna be a cold one here tonight Ain’t no sense in leaving on the light Hoping that you’re near To pull me out of here But nothing’s gonna come And no one’s gonna save me now I’m pulling off of Highway 85 Nothing left for me to do but cry And face all of my fears I tucked behind these tears Yeah it’s time to take em on Cuz no ones gonna save me now Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (save me now) Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Satellite 03:04
There's a quote that I used to remember “Do a thing every day that'll scare you” Guess I just like the way that it sounds And I'm driving to work in the morning Day dreaming ‘bout nothing important Tell myself that I'm allowed One hit on a lunch break And I feel like an airplane Tie the wind around my skin Deep breath and I'm ok No time in the rat race Need the dirt to pull me in Satellite won't you come down Change your speed, turn the lights out Do you wish upon the same stars Or are you scared of falling earthbound There's some food in the fridge if you want it Get it yourself I'm exhausted Taking some time to myself Have a drink on the steps to the back door Telling my shit to the night air There's nobody else I can tell Still mad 'bout the pay cut Go fast just to stay stuck Ain't enough to get me there Look down at the unjust Feels good just to look up And imagine that you're there Satellite won't you come down Change your speed, turn the lights out Do you wish upon the same stars Are you scared of falling earthbound Satellite won't you come down Change your speed, turn the lights out Do you wish upon the same stars Are you scared of falling earthbound Satellite won't you come down Change your speed, turn the lights out Do you wish upon the same stars Are you scared of falling earthbound

Say goodnight, another ordinary lover Try to fight against an ordinary summer That would lead to a good fall If the Cubs play some good ball And the business'll get slow Tell me something I don't know If I were a store and you walked by me solo Would an open sign be hanging in the window Or would you think that I was closed Would you like some of my clothes Would you wanna come inside And let me show you a good time I’ve been thinking I’ve been thinking about us Calculating every second for hours I can take a hill and make it a mountain I can’t beat it back But you’re the remedy without even trying A cool pillow when my fever is rising Tell me baby can we give it a try and See what this could be I'm a Sunday night away from being settled But with a drink or two I'll wanna raise the devil Saturday was my birthday And my friends wanna get laid So they threw me a whole thing I didn't want in the first place If I'm honest I just want someone to need me Someone who can write me in a different story And take me out of the ol’ loop I wanna run to a new tune For a somebody that's true Can that somebody be you I’ve been thinking I’ve been thinking about us Calculating every second for hours I can take a hill and make it a mountain I can’t beat it back But you’re the remedy without even trying A cool pillow when my fever is rising Tell me baby can we give it a try and See what this could be I’ve been thinking I’ve been thinking about us Calculating every second for hours I can take a hill and make it a mountain I can’t beat it back But you’re the remedy without even trying A cool pillow when my fever is rising Tell me baby can we give it a try and See what this could be La da da da da da da da da La da da da da da da da da What this could be

I met her at the station The minutes started flying by The sooner it got later I had to make her mine What if I said Something to cut in line What if I went too much too early No I should let it be and bide my time Even though I I want you now Time and temperature The heat is rising Time and temperature Feel it unwinding Something’s gonna change Fight it with patience Give it time and temperature Till’ we get lightning She’s flipping through the stations Her feet are by the cherry wine Slowly creeping over To tangle up in mine After we spent so many summer nights Seeing the sky light up so brightly When did you get that look that’s in your eyes That I’ve never seen before Time and temperature The heat is rising Time and temperature Feel it unwinding Something’s gonna change Fight it with patience Give it time and temperature Till’ we get lightning (Did you think that when you took my hand We would make it to the other side Did you really see a master plan Or did you think that all we needed was some) Time and temperature (Did you think that when you took my hand We would make it to the other side Did you really see a master plan Or did you think that all we needed was some) Time and temperature The heat is rising Time and temperature Feel it unwinding Something’s gonna change Fight it with patience Give it time and temperature Till’ we get lightning Time and temperature The heat is rising Time and temperature Feel it unwinding Something’s gonna change Fight it with patience Give it time and temperature Till’ we get lightning (Did you think that when you took my hand We would make it to the other side Did you really see a master plan Or did you think that all we needed was some)

Stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight, yeah Later in the evening Things are winding down You and all my feelings Are lighting up this town Shotgun, watching you drive Pull up and we lock eyes Look away tell her good night But I'm thinking Stay with me tonight I can be everything you need Something’s got me thinking You feel the same about me Just stay with me tonight And we can figure out the rest I’m holding onto now So we can see what happens next Stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight, yeah Walking back to your place Mine is on the way Heading up the staircase Thinking today could be the day Leaning on the doorframe Playing with your keychain Wait to see what I'm gonna say So I'll say it Stay with me tonight I can be everything you need Something’s got me thinking You feel the same about me Just stay with me tonight And we can figure out the rest I’m holding onto now So we can see what happens next Do you know how long I've loved you Do you know how much I've longed to say these words to you Watching you walk away, Killing me slowly But I'm hoping That you'll stay with me tonight I can be everything you need Something’s got me thinking You feel the same about me Just stay with me tonight And we can figure out the rest I’m holding onto now So we can see what happens next Just stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight Stay with me tonight

You 03:32
Diamonds, moonlight Always look right Underneath the cover of somebody else's love Empty, see-through Till' I found you Gave a meaning to the words I'd just been dreaming of Oh the sun is down and my fire's getting low Take a deep breath of you and I'm ok You know me You show me All the ways I've been ignoring Who I buried inside As a way to get by You only Seen the parts and want the whole thing Take it baby I can't hold it And I’m starting tonight For the rest of my life With you You know me You show me All the ways I've been ignoring Who I buried inside As a way to get by Screens and stages Painted faces Stand between me and the mirror blocking line of sight Slowly, gently You connect me To the someone waiting for me on the other side Oh the sun is down and my fire's getting low Take a deep breath of you and I'm ok You know me You show me All the ways I've been ignoring Who I buried inside As a way to get by You only Seen the parts and want the whole thing Take it baby I can't hold it And I’m starting tonight For the rest of my life With you You only Seen the parts and want the whole thing Take it baby I can't hold it And I’m starting tonight For the rest of my life With you

Seventeen and nervous By the firelight Said the rain won't hurt us Said we'll be alright That was just the surface I had to teach my eye What's behind the curtain's Where the good stuff lies And I found it Surrounded By my selfish pride I found it Unwound it When I closed my eyes Falling in love Gets easier with time And harder to define When you know there’s something greater than yourself Falling in love Is better if you try To leave your loss behind And honestly admit you’re never ready For falling in love Falling in love When the lines get blurry Black and white gets gray When your guard gets heavy And you shed that weight When the streaks in the sky call me To another place And I can say it slowly Then I know you’re waiting And I found it Surrounded By my selfish pride I found it Unwound it When I closed my eyes Falling in love Gets easier with time And harder to define When you know there’s something greater than yourself Falling in love Is better if you try To leave your loss behind And honestly admit you’re never ready For falling in love Gets easier with time And harder to define When you know there’s something greater than yourself Falling in love Is better if you try To leave your loss behind And honestly admit you’re never ready For falling in love Falling in love

Why can’t we be like Mickey and Iris They’re never fighting Kissing and smiling wide Trips to the islands Dressed in the finest Going out every night Something about em, crazy exciting I wonder if someone’s crazy about us Just like Mickey and Iris Classic and timeless Stepping into the light Shining like diamonds Standing beside us Smooth like the rolling tide And then we are leaving, the sky cloaked in violet Covered up by the ceiling, and the silence Oh I gotta know where we go from here Knowing that there’s someone Loving each other better But I love you dear More than I can say So why am I afraid I know what you mean to me I know what you mean to me Sometimes I’m too blind to see But I know what you mean to me I know what you mean to me I know what you mean to me Sometimes I’m too blind to see But I know what you mean to me

Parents 04:32
Everybody's hurting Carrying a burden But burdens can be blessings I just gotta earn em Don't let me go start a scene Douse it all in kerosene I wanna go getting free Be the man I wanna be I’m playing out a version Where I'm a different person But I'm counting down the minutes Till I break and start reverting now I'm walking down Davis Street Dancing with my history Somebody I've never seen Always got a hold on me I am always grappling With this whole tree and apple thing Falling far don't always mean You left it all behind Cuz I don't know what's happening Deep inside my wiring And that can be empowering Or make me lose my mind Parents We've all got em And they sure got us Get a little older Feel em taking over Wear their mannerisms Like a tattoo on your shoulder Say goodbye to the loose cement Ha ha those days came and went It's what it is but then again You never played an instrument Then I start to worry We're halfway through the story How can I know all of you If I met you when you were forty Tell me what I'm supposed to do Bout all those years I never knew To really see the puzzle through I need the piece of me that's you And I am always grappling With this whole tree and apple thing Falling far don't always mean You left it all behind Cuz I don't know what's happening Deep inside my wiring And that can be empowering Or make me lose my mind Parents We've all got em And they sure got us Ah, ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah, ah Yeah, they got us good Everybody's parents Started off as children Who argued with their parents Who just had what they were given And so it goes on down the line Far as you can multiply I’m made from the hands of time My mother’s nose and father’s eyes And I am always grappling With this whole tree and apple thing Falling far don't always mean You left it all behind Birds and bees and therapy That penguin documentary And that’s just one perspective Time to see the other side As parents We've all got em And they sure got us
