I Was Young (feat. Andrew Way and Daniel Youngelman) 03:22
lyrics

I was breathing, I was drinking a different air I was thinking you’d have found your answer by now I was clinging on and cleaving to long-lost bearings I kept wearing You stopped caring Yeah, I was young and I was looking for something else I was breathing, I was dreaming brighter, baby Yeah, I was young and I was hoping I’d find myself In the mirrors, there In your light In the mirrors, there Of your eyes Keep me close, but keep me distant, I’ll keep my mark I’ll be watching, waiting from the sidelines, baby Keep me silent, keep me whispering from the darkness: “Break this promise, We don’t want this” No, I was young and I was looking for something else I was breathing, I was dreaming brighter, baby Yeah, I was young and I was hoping I'd find myself In the mirrors, there In your light In the mirrors, there Of your eyes Take me in the car on the day that you left You had run away, didn’t want my shoulder Lightning in the dark of a world we’ll forget We had words of love, never to get over Bring me to the dreams, gently getting colder Bigger than they seemed, now we’re getting older Take me to your arms, lead me to believe Take me to your heart, bring me to my knees Yeah, I was young and I was looking for something else I was breathing, I was dreaming brighter, baby Yeah, I was young and I was hoping I’d find myself In the mirrors, there In your light In the mirrors, there Of your eyes Nothing’s simple, nothing’s permanent, nothing’s strong Take me on and take me to your silence, now

Open Road (feat. Addi McDaniel) 04:22
lyrics

This is all there is All there ever was Nothing more reveals There’s no hell below, no god above But we hold a faith That there’s something here So we travel on And a road appears You’re gonna find it on your own You’re gonna hear the words They’re gonna change and soothe your soul You’re gonna find it And you’re gonna find it soon, girl And all you carry, you’ll unload You’re gonna find the open road When I thought I knew How my life would be Symbols rearranged All the patterns shift so easily But you learn the ruse Of the truth you choose So you travel on Seek a different view You’re gonna find it on your own You’re gonna hear the words They’re gonna change and soothe your soul You’re gonna find it And you’re gonna find it soon, girl And all you carry, you’ll unload You’re gonna find the open road I know you’re all up in it But trust me I wouldn’t spin it If I didn’t see it in your eyes Caught in the winds of sorrow You can’t see the trail to follow Standing before your eyes This is all there is All there ever was There’s no leap to faith Just resigning to the lie you love Keep the blinders on Keep the fiction real If you soldier on Then the road is real You’re gonna find it on your own You’re gonna hear the words They’re gonna change and soothe your soul You’re gonna find it And you’re gonna find it soon, girl And all you carry, you’ll unload You’re gonna find the open Find the open Find the open road

lyrics

Settle in the reeds Settle in the seams Settle in the way you’re standing there Settle in between Settle in the way I found you there Settle in the weeds Settle in the mean Settle in the waiting unaware Settle in between Settle in the way I found you there Found you there If you need a reason, take a look around If you need a reason, look at what I’ve found Take a look inside, you’re on the ground You don’t want opinions, you don’t want what’s safe You don’t want an answer, you just need a place To anchor in your feet and join the race, oh Settle in the reeds Settle in the seams Settle in the way you’re standing there Settle in between Settle in the way I found you there Settle in the weeds Settle in the mean Settle in the waiting unaware Settle in between Settle in the way I found you there Found you there Love is not in season, love is never real Love is an illusion, but it’s what I feel Take a leap of faith, and you might heal, oh Settle in the reeds Settle in the seams Settle in the way you’re standing there Settle in between Settle in the way I found you there Found you there You hit a rock in the road It’s gonna hurt, gonna bruise your soul You’ve got a lot you’ll be letting go, oh ‘Cause there’s a lot to unfold You suffer through, but you lose your hold You’ve got a lot you’ll be letting go ‘Cause there’s a lot we don’t know But it’ll turn, and the seeds are sown And all the hurt, you’ll be letting go, oh Meet me in the middle We’ll see where things land We’ll see how things go Please meet me in the middle We’ll see where things stand We’ll see how things go Settle in the reeds Settle in the seams Settle in the way you’re standing there Settle in between Settle in the way I found you In the way I found you In the way I found you there Found you there If you need a reason, take a look around If you need a reason, look at what I’ve found

There are so many possibilities In the air, in the air There are so many possibilities Everywhere I feel it now It’s raining down Everywhere I feel it now It’s pouring down From your hair, oh Oh, I feel it now It’s raining down Everywhere I feel it now I’m reaching out But you’re not there I’m reaching out I’m pourin’ out But you’re not there No, you’re not there I’m feelin’ how I’m runnin’ out But you’re not there No, you’re not there No, you’re not there, oh Hold on to the wreckage ‘Cause we’re flooding the whole place out We’re caught up in the wreckage And losing ground Hold on to the wreckage ‘Til we figure this whole thing Figure this whole thing out And all we know, we’ll let it go You’re holding your head underwater, honey You’ve got no one to blame but yourself You’re holding yourself in your silence, lately And there you will refrain, oh Yeah, there you will refrain, oh There you will refrain, oh There are so many possibilities, yeah There are so many possibilities Possibilities In the air
