(The Time That We Take)

Neon raining aqua in your eyes,
like they’ve never shone so bright.
Who could forget them, my love, my darling?
Alive in your smile’s the sunrise,
the one and only one where I recognize:
I can’t forget you, my love, my darling.
The time that we take, the memories we make,
I’ll always remember,
but it’s here that I think, in this time and this place, I’ll be with you forever.

I have no worries and I pay no mind.
I’m in no hurry, gonna take my time.
I don’t care if I say things twice.
Everything’s so bright, everything’s alright.
There’s just not enough things on my mind.
Never enough things, nothing’s on my mind.
I don’t care if I say the same thing twice.
There's not enough things on my mind.
Never enough things, nothing's on my mind

You and I,
misunderstood feels so good.
When we feel so good,
misunderstood.
You and I don’t see why
You and I fly by.

The Way?

Who would have dreamed?
Who would have dreamed that on this day I would live to see everything,
every single thing balance perfectly?
Who could have dreamed?
Behold the rays before my eyes,
the virgin sun is so sublime.
But you must have faith, you must know why I meet this day inside open skies.
My time has come and all is one.
My horizon melts and it blows my mind,
I’ve never felt so satisfied.
I will meet you in the sky.
In one motion, all emotion sing in unison.
For one moment, everything is beautiful.

A little black, a little blue,
don’t miss the stars, don’t miss the moon,
But pools of black pull me back
and minutes bleed into years.
And just how long until I find why it is I feel this way?
Time runs out and I come down from such a beautiful morning.
Long live the sunrise in my eyes,
the only one I recognize,
the only thing to make me smile,
the only thing to make me cry.
One last time I reminisce,
one last time I can relive,
one last time I can recall
what it all was like before it fades.
Deep in dreams I don’t belong,
nostalgia’s been gone for so long.
Deep in dreams I don’t belong,
there’s nothing else I can recall.

Close your eyes, don’t you try so hard
to go so high, you never come back down.
The only time going by is now,
light as ever, like a feather, float.
No one near, the only one that’s here,
and you don’t need nobody else but you.
No one near, the only one that’s here,
and you don’t need nobody else but you (ooh)
Lullabies, butterflies at night.
All they see, odysseys of gloom.
Don’t rely on no one else but you.
The only soul you really know is you.
So, you’re only here for now?
When even in laughter, the heart is sorrow.
Or do you exist at all?
The way that you feel
every day that you’re here,
is it even real?

Neon raining aqua in your eyes,
like they’ve never shone so bright.
Who could forget them, my love, my darling?
Alive in your smile’s the sunrise,
the one and only one where I recognize:
I can’t forget you, my love, my darling, now.
The time that we take, the memories we make, I’ll always remember,
but it’s here that I think, in this time and this place, I’ll be with you forever.

Emotion Blue

Somewhere between
all the breaths that I take with you,
is the sky craving blue
when I feel the way I do.
Next to you, I feel the same,
Thoughts arrive but yet to stay.
I’d speak my mind, my mind is numb,
endless skies for silent doves.
So many things I’d like to ask
about what else life should have,
Why every time I try to run from here,
I end where I began?

This must be the end, my life long lived.
This must be the day I fade away.
Falling through a plain,
everything is strange.
All this time and I find along the way,
these are not really songs (after all),
these are not really songs at all,
just singing to a phase.
Saggy eyes, dusty lips, waiting for a mutter back
feel at home inside a book with all the pages colored black.
And all the time I’ve left to spend, after all, is purely drab when lost in places I used to know, drawing blanks and turning mad.
All this time and I find along the way,
All the time that we took, taken away.
Am I still the same?

For You

Sainted woman, patient lady,
you know who I am,
don’t you recognize?
Lonesome hiker, lost disciple,
I believe in what you say,
I know you’re not insane,
but don’t be so far away.
Do you think that you know why?
Do you think you understand?
Do you think that you know why?
Don’t you know my heart breaks every time?
Helpless trooper, absent mother,
this pageant’s for you,
from the child you once knew
but don’t recognize.
Do you think that I don’t cry?
Do you think that I don’t care?
Do you think that I’ll move on,
like nothing ever happened,
like something I imagined?
Do you feel as though
goodwill miscarried you,
disparity has married you,
the yin has been unfair to you
and slowly keeps on tearing you apart from me?
Do you think that you know why my heart breaks every time?

Today

Today, I’m not worried about tomorrow.
Today, I wish I wouldn’t wish so much.
One day, the sun will fade
but you and I, we’re gonna live forever.
One day, one day,
you still just might remember
I wish it were fair, I wish I was there,
and I wish, I wish I didn’t care
because today, there’s nothing I can do
and one day, one day, I’ll be just like you,
gonna fade away too.
But what if I want you?
What if I need you today?
Just for a day, I wish you weren’t far away. When part of me wants you,
part of me needs you today.
Just for a day, I wish you weren’t far away.
How time still flies.
How these tears fill my eyes.
How far we come
from the day we stop being young
when we grow up more than once.
I don’t move on.
Life is by extra soon
when restless moons
don’t ever say goodnight,
not to you and just to me.
How you and me
seem to be stuck between
just a dream and just a plea for presence.
Today my tears never dry
‘cause I don’t move on
and my heart stays broken.

One day,
you'll realize there are no tears in Heaven,
just the way you’ve always imagined.
Remember this life is not our last,
for all that is wrong will come to pass us by.
Harmonized, you and I,
in a world I look for,
all I see is for better or worse, whatever occurs,
you’re still with me.
