Hey! Don't lose your mind It's just your mind You'll be fine Cuz I'm head over heels on the dance floor baby And it's our time to fly Let's ditch this place and I'll take you to my happy place Love the way you touch my body Rhythm makes me feel the party DJ knows that we ain't stopping Dance all night until we lose control Hey! Don't lose your mind It's just your mind You'll be fine Cuz I'm head over heels on the dance floor baby And it's our time to shine Let's ditch this place and I'll take you to my happy place Oh this party won't be stoppin' Till we see the sun come poppin' Even if there's bodies droppin' We'll just keep on dancin' on the floor Cuz when lose your head on the dance floor That's when you lose your mind Hey! Don't lose your mind It's just your mind You'll be fine Cuz I'm head over heels on the dance floor baby And it's our time to fly Let's ditch this place and I'll take you to my happy place Fall asleep in your arms While layin' on the hood of your car We count the stars No, they don't look very far Fall asleep in your arms While layin' on the hood of your car We count the stars No, they don't look very far

Heartbreak Everyday 05:29
lyrics

When it's all over will you still be into me I forgot the reason we came I'm looking for a way to change It feels like heartbreak everyday Oh the river children Oh gathered at sunset Oh the river children They love our land Oh the river children Are children of the sand Idaho to Mexico to California Off of the dance floor And into your heart I've been waiting here all night Just to meet you To get on the dance floor and into your heart I'm looking for a way to change Found it foolish, wound up losing I'm looking for a way to change It feels like heartbreak everyday I'm talkin' bout love It's more than a feeling, worth believing I'm talkin' bout love More than a feeling, worth believing I'm talkin' bout love (I'm looking for a way to change) It's more than a feeling, worth believing (Found it foolish, wound up losing) I'm talkin' bout love (I'm looking for a way to change) More than a feeling, worth believing (It feels like heartbreak everyday)

Wish Upon A Star 03:40

Right where you want me to be Dressed in sparking blue and green Dazzling on the scene Like a magic mystical dream Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are I had a though one day About how my life could change Then it took off Turned into a play on the stage Daylight breaks We jump inside a big great lake Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are Oh I wish upon a star I wonder how beautiful you are

Sultry Have Gone The Roses 02:10

Sultry have gone the roses my love The light forbids us to sleep Stay real close, stay safe in the dark Far from where the light can see Where the sky drips down on the sand And you become a man Is it real or dream? La da da da da da da da La da da da da da Da duh duh da dum La da da da da da da da La da da da da da Da duh duh da dum Sultry have gone the roses my love The light forbids us to sleep (Sultry have gone, sultry have gone, sultry have gone the roses my love) Till the moon drips down in the palm of your hand And the man ceases to be Now you’re alone, and can barely keep ahold Of your precious aspirations and dreams

Redirection, No Affection 03:50
lyrics
buy track
I know that I said that I'd call you on the phone, When I got home, need to be alone, You've been dodging these reflections of how I feel, My love, feels surreal How am i supposed to feel alright When all your giving me Is redirections and no affection? Something's not right It's redirection, no affection I guess you could say that it was all my fault I was wrong, all along I guess that means I gotta give you back your bong And all the long, silly love songs How am i supposed to feel alright When all your giving me Is redirections and no affection? Something's not right Redirection, no affection Questioned your intentions When you brought that guy around Now I'm all alone while he's dicking you down Four years is a long time to give up on our love Now it's all over and there's no undoing it now How am i supposed to feel alright When all your giving me Is redirections and no affection? Something's not right Redirection, no affection

World's Too Big 03:59
lyrics

I never used to think that you talk to much But now it’s like I’m goin’ insane The spirit never knows just what it wants Until it’s gone and floatin’ in outerspace This is where the story ends Do we pick up from where we began Hope to stay friends in the end Or better off yet get back together again It’s like I’m never gonna see you again Never gonna see you again Cuz the world’s just too big World’s just too big And I might never see you again Never see you again Cuz the world’s just too big If you’d just open your eyes You’d see there’s plenty of beauty in sight From PCH to Sunset Drive To driving in circles and getting high And I might never see you again Never see you again Cuz the world’s just too big World’s just too big And if I never see you again Never see you again I’m hopin’ you can tell your friends that I made it I hope you hear my songs on the radio Cuz you’re the only one their ever about And that the man on the cover of your favorite magazine Is the man that you once had, but now haunts your dreams I thought we were special I guess that I was wrong Hardest part about livin’ is movin’ on Cuz it’s like I’m never gonna see you again Never gonna see you again Cuz the world’s just too big World’s just too big And if I never see you again Never see you again I hope you can tell your friends that I made it Cuz the world’s just too big World’s just too big And if I never see you again Never see you again Oh if I never see you again Never see you again Oh, I’m hopin’ you can tell your friends that I made it

Final Rose 04:34
lyrics

Stuck thinkin' about a dream That the man right beside you was me I tend to feel a little nostalgic Thinkin' about our love and how it happened You were just a girl at the bar And I was just a guy without a car But we both went through things I was hopin' I could buy you a ring Cuz each day without you Is another day I dream And dreams turn to nightmares So it seems I keep thinking that time will change us For the better I suppose I'm wishin' I could've done better I could've been your final rose Livin' each day like an adventure And doin' lots of other stuff I can't mention I can't help but feel my broken heart When the memory of you is all I got We both went through that And you can send my regards to your new man Cuz each day without you Is another day I dream And dreams turn to nightmares So it seems I keep thinking that time will change us For the better I suppose I'm wishin' I could've done better I could've been your final rose Could've been your final rose Could've been your final rose I'm wishin' I could've done better I could've been your final rose

Go For a Drive 06:19
lyrics
buy track
Maybe we could go somewhere, get some tea Not some place fancy, just you and me I wanna hide out from the rain No one’s letting us inside today I’m thinkin’ we should go for a drive Somewhere to hide for the night I’m thinkin’ we should go for a drive Somewhere to hide for the night With a future that’s uncertain and a past like ice in my veins I try to live in the moment, but get lost in the game Will I ever make it? Will I be the one? To set these kids free I’m thinkin’ we should go for a drive Somewhere to hide for the night I’m thinkin’ we should go for a drive Somewhere to hide for the night Am I someone else’s problem, or the center of the scene? Or a colored pixel on a movie screen? Am I destined for greatness? Am I gonna be the one, that’s gonna save the music from itself? I’m wounded and I’m weary But I’m bound to survive I will, as long you let me into your heart My sweet babe, my lemon dove, oh I’m thinkin’ we should go for a drive Somewhere to hide for the night

Shady Tree 03:42

Well the rain don’t drip where the sun can see And it don’t go pourin’ under a shady tree If you’d be my lady in the roaring sea The only you’d see would be comin’ down on me I’ll be your shady tree to protect thee I’ll be your shady tree to protect thee If the rain keeps drippin’ I’ll sink like a log I’ll drown to the bottom and I’ll feel like it’s where I belong You keep convincin’ me, convincin’ me I’m wrong Where have I been goin’ all along I’ll be your shady tree to protect thee I’ll be your shady tree to protect thee I’ll be your shady tree to protect thee I’ll be your shady tree to protect thee You cheated my values and trusted me farther than my malleable form You broke me backwards and bruised me My ego could feel the scorn And now it’s all over, the battles been over and won But I gave away all of my branches And tree trunks don’t live on I was your shady tree forever and on Now I ain’t your shady tree My giving days are gone I was your shady tree forever and on Now I ain’t your shady tree My giving days are gone

Threw it all out the door You say I’m blind when you can’t see These people, they ask for too much They won’t let em be You built your whole world around me If I’m gone then how can you be free Well you built your whole life around me Now all that’s left to do is bury me I gave you all that you needed Threw it all away when you cheated Now the road found me It held my head with a noose My spirit is loose Body like boiled goose Well you built your whole life around me Now all that’s left to do is bury me I gave you all that you needed Threw it all away when you cheated Runnin’ from my bloodstream of dreams Your tears are fake, don’t have no meaning Let’s see if you regain feeling When you see me hang from the ceiling Well you built your whole life around me Now all that’s left to do is bury me I gave you all that you needed Threw it all away when you cheated You built your whole life around me Now all that’s left to do is bury me I gave you all that you needed Threw it all away when you cheated Built your whole life around me Now all that’s left to do is bury me I gave you all that you needed Threw it out the door cheated

Oh I know Oh I know, it’s time Dip in the water, let it calm your troubled mind Oh I know, Oh I know If you feel lonely, or if you feel scared Just know baby there’s a rainbow With the sun shinin’ in the air Have you seen it? Seen the rainbow? Watch it look careless It’s beauty everywhere You know, well you know Have you seen the rainbow? Don’t let it fool you There is no pot of gold And all of the beauty is around you Oh, shinin’ in the air The rainbow, oh the rainbow Oh can’t you see it, shinin’ in the air? Oh a rainbow, oh a rainbow, in the air Don’t let it fool you There is no pot of gold And all of the beauty is around you Oh there’s a rainbow, shinin’ in the air Have you seen it? Seen the rainbow, over there? Shining in the air, there’s a rainbow There’s a rainbow, over there Don’t you let it fool you There is no pot of gold And all of the beauty is around you
