Into The Sky 02:45
into the sky is where i go when i can't find what i need down here, it's hard to see the picture in front of me above the canopy is where i climb when can't see what's ahead among the trees and city streets i find myself looking up into the sky
2.
By The Shore 05:20
i wanna be by the shore with a radio and i'll be singing along with the waves "alalalalala" is what we'll sing harmonies in the wind i wanna be by the shore wondrous melodies scatter 'round my ears never out of key, the sun strikes a chord and if you listen, you will hear it too the sun is kissing the notes of a little tune the seaside sounds continue crescendo! crescendo to the night and what i'm missing is this golden tapestry the sky is glistening, inspiring a song in me what can i do to make this true? caught in the waves of city streets thinking of sand beneath my feet can you meet me there?
3.
In My Dreams 04:01
sitting on a hill, watching the stars go by watching the cars drive by in the night nothing much to say. it's written in the night it's written in the sky, in my eyes how i long to dream how i long to be with you i could fall asleep a symphony is swaying me in her arms i could count to three and you would be here i with me in my dreams, in my dreams grassy fields of green giving way to city lights that gleam i don't wanna take picture i just wanna stay forever so much else to do, but why not take a pause just because?
4.
Counting 04:37
i wish you would set a forest on fire somewhere then for sure i'd see your flame and i wouldn't have to read so much, read so carefully every line on every page but i am nonetheless hanging on every word you say and i am thinking that there has got to be a way if counting the stars takes lifetimes to end i'll sit next to you and begin as soon as i can and when i am done, while we are still young will you signal to me? or will u tell me to keep counting? in between the send and receive sometimes i just don't know what to believe and what i long to say to you, you don't always hear my heart's not always on my sleeve but i am nonetheless trying to seem like the inbetween and i am hoping that you will see what i mean
5.
like a warm day in february, you came to me oh, i was surprised, but i was glad to see your face and i thought, "what a girl who would spend her time with me" as i thought this, i smiled and you were smiling back at me, in february if the sun never shined you're a ray i can call "mine" keep me warm when the clouds make me cold oh the waters would flow in the deserts, i know if you turned and looked their way but i thought, "what a girl who would spend her time with me" as i thought this, i smiled and you were smiling back at me, in february
6.
Room 02:57
i couldn't let go of the thought of letting you go 'cuz i know it's impossible i couldn't say no to my heart you know it beats so incessantly for you so incessantly true i wish i were in your heart because you're in mine you're not hard to find i wish you could make some room for the two of us for the two of us the trees, they reach up for the sky and they don't know why this ain't the case when i reach for you but like the pilots in the planes that fly on by i know where i need to go
7.
what am i doing here? i am not supposed to be around you what have i got to fear but a spark? oh, i'm flammable sound the alarm! oh, i need your soothing eyes oh, i long for your goodbyes oh, i want you day and night oh, i have to hold you tight tonight how did i get this far without the map written on your heart? where do i go from here? oh, i'm lost and without a compass
8.
you're always near but never here with me i'd hold you dear if you just let me but oh, i can feel it coming the day when i'll ask you something and all of the towers we build from then on will last forever would you mind if our lives were intertwined? would you care if everywhere looked like a beautiful disguise from all the love that's in our eyes would you mind? you're always near but never here with me i wanna hold you dear won't you let me? but oh, i can feel it coming the day when i'll ask you something what will you say? all i've got to know is would you hold me close? all you've got to do is keep me here with you all i want to see is you with me oh, don't let me go oh, don't let me go!
9.
i've got a flawless sky to occupy these eyes tired of black and white telling time with leaves again it's all coming back to me because the grass is green and i am in between the fields and the sea the clouds have somewhere else to be today oh they've gone so far away i can sit out in the sun spend my day with everyone chasing the breeze through the trees before he's caught, he's already won he taps you on the back of your neck a feeling lost has been found because the sky is blue and i am here with you we've got the perfect view if the clouds are coming back we are on the counterattack
