Animals

When I took you to the drive-in for the first time, we barely watched the film
And it was all I could do just to hold onto you
Steamy windows and a sex scene on the silver screen, now it's just a memory,
What does love even really mean when you're living in a teenage dream?
Animals, Animals, moving back and forth to rhythm of the night. Animals, Animals, going our separate ways where the wind blows.
We don't fall in love, and we don't make fake promises
Animals, Animals, it's just between us.
I saw you from across the street, playing Pac Man on a stand-up machine,
You said "Hey, do you remember me?" And before I knew it we were in the back seat
Steamy windows on a busy street, hit me in the face with all my memories,
what does love even really mean? All these years later, right in front of me.

Constellations
03:33
|

|
When the sun is going down, on a dream that can't be found,
Like an anchor out in the sea, betraying me
She's always there, staring back at me.
You are the darkest star, your light absorbs everything we are.
A supernova of desire, I'll say it again, the brightest constellation.
Sages and seers say the world has no end,
One giant circle turning on Its head,
When we expire we return again, I'll say it again, we're constellations.
When the water washes up across a sandy ocean front
When the sun sinks down into the sea, betraying me, you're always there, starting back at me.
You are the darkest star
Your light absorbs everything we are
A supernova, a supernova of desire
I'll say it again...

(dis)connected

Can you feel love inside you, when you look upon their face?
Do you feel the most connected, when your close inside their space?
Have you ever missed a moment, regret it ever since?
Would you do it different if you could do it all again?
Can you feel it in the water as it washes all away?
Do you feel the most connected when you're standing in the spray?
Have you ever missed a moment, regret it ever since?
Would you do it different if you could do it all again?
Haven't they, haven't we, done enough, said enough?
In a world we all should treasure, we can all be there together.
Haven't they, haven't we, done enough, said enough?
In a world we all should treasure, cause it won't last forever.
When look outside the window, see nature in its space
Do you feel disconnected, like a thing that's out of place?
Have you ever missed a moment, regret it ever since?
Would you do it different if you could do it all again?

Phantoms

Like deja vu, I feel like I've been here many times before.
Like I know what's about to happen even though I know I can't change a thing.
The moment I lose my train of thought and the feeling is gone,
I'm right back inside my mind wondering where I've been all of this time.
The streets turn black, at night, while I wait for you in the moon light. But you never show, no you'll never know.
But I keep coming back to, I keep coming back to you.
I have to believe in a world outside my own mind.
I have to believe that my actions somehow still have meaning,
Even if I can't remember how I got to where I'm at,
I have to believe, that when my eyes are closed you're still somewhere out there.

Dreamers
04:19
|

|
She wanted to be famous, I wanted to be free
We had to find a way to get away from here
But when you live so far away, from all the things that you love
From all the people who perceive what you really want to be
We always hated winter, can't wait until the spring
We drove out west looking for a new beginning
But life can work against you, as it always has before
You do the best you can, while you try to make it last.
We were dreamers, dreamers, and I miss you all the time, I see you in my mind
We wish you'd come back home, feeling so lost and alone
We were dreamers, dreamers.
Ever since I moved back, I think about our lives
Of living on the water, and talking all the time
A mix of memories, and a mix of strong emotions
The argument that broke your heart and split us both apart
I still hate the winter, and the sun is always gone,
But I think sometimes your dreams were always waiting back at home
But life can work against you, as its always been before,
You do the best you can, while you try to make it last.

Future Sight
03:24
|

|
If I could climb, to somewhere high,
if I could see from up above,
A second try, and wonder why,
A shot of Grace takes my fears away
Don't wanna die, gotta survive
Don't wanna leave myself behind
I see the world, I've seen the world, I see the world....
Now that I'm here, it's all the same
Can't find the light I was searching for
I look around, and all I see
Only what they, want me to be
Don't wanna die, gotta survive
I'm gonna leave myself behind

The Forest
04:25
|

|
I'm jacked into the matrix, loading all my favorites
I'm searching for all my targets, not missing the bargains
when the color and the light begins, my mind is data and my soul ascends,
I'm jacked into the Forrest, a world opens for us
I'm connected, and injected, and at midnight I'm expected.
Where do you go? Where do you hide?
Where do you go? Where do you hide?
When you're lost in the forest of broken dreams,
When you're more than the sum of your longest streams.
Where do you go? Where do you hide?
Don't want to be left forgotten, digitally rotten
I'm just searching for answers rooting out all the cancer
When the color and the light begins my mind is data and my soul ascends,
I'm jacked into the Forrest, a world opens for us
I'm connected and injected, now the system is infected.

Done

When I hung up the phone with you for the last time
Said a lot of things I shouldn't have, but I did in the moment
And didn't mean all of it, but some of it, I did
So I guess I'm just another idiot.
It took away all, the love I had
The kind of argument that's more than words just said
My heart is breaking, my soul is shaken and I'm not sure what to do
I'd miss you more than I would miss my very favorite things
Regardless of the way I sometimes act or things i say
I don't want to be alone, I just want it to be true,
Don't want to be done, don't want to be done, don't want to be done with you.

Party Time

I've never felt so alive
The breeze is warm, and the drinks are flowing like the ocean tide
You've never looked so good
And the night is young, and the party's just begun
If I could live in this moment I would
If I could live in this feeling I would
I feel so responsible for the way we are
I think we need wait to get into this car
We've never been so high,
Looking down on everything, from the tallest tower in the sky
The sand sparkles in the setting sun
All the palm trees waving back and forth like hands held up
If I could live in this moment I would
If I could live in this feeling I would
I feel so responsible for the way we are
I think we need wait to get into this car
You wanna ride, i don't wanna die tonight
You wanna ride, party time, party time
You wanna ride, i don't wanna die together
You wanna ride, party time party time

Poison Was The Cure
04:38
|
|||

You run, and you can try
But it doesn't matter anyway, her love is potion you can't deny.
You run, but you cant hide,
But it never mattered anyway, her poison is the love that you have to try. You run, but your lost somewhere,
And you never even noticed, her love is the prison that's trapped you there.
If I've ever seen clear enough
It's her, alone in the world, without me there
If she'd ever see clear enough
It's her, alone, half a world away
If the heavens would open up
They should, and then she'd kiss me slowly
If I never even bothered to call
Would I be a thought inside your mind at all?
You run, but you can't hide
But it doesn't matter anyway, her love is the potion that you have to try. You run, I hope your sure,
but it doesn't matter anyway, you never even noticed that poison was the cure..
If I think real hard and close my eyes, I remember what it's like to keep hope alive.
If I think real hard and breath real deep, I can almost trick myself to fall back to sleep.
