Let’s cash in our lucky pennies
And spend the next years living in a van with our dog.
These heads up copper coins don’t mean much to others
But we find optimism in them.
That house on Campbell Street
Will be here with the maple tree we planted, in our yard.
Our truest friends will understand
The petty people we can leave behind, in the dust.
Let’s go
Let’s keep mountains in horizons
And in the rearview mirror chasing orange, orbital orbs.
We’ll spread our roots and keep our wings
We’ll ground each other even with the change, in our pockets.
Granite peaks are calling out the aspen leaves are dancing with the wind, in our
favor.
We’ll drink whiskey by the fire and in the morning I’ll promise you fields of wildflowers.
There are no guarantees in life
No fear with you by my side
No dark days, no running away, we’ll set our sails for the seaway.
The sun continues to rise
If there’s trouble we will improvise
We’ll go our pace maybe go to space
I’ll always love you till the end of our days
Let’s go

Good Days
03:22

When we were twenty-three, life seemed perfect.
We had it all, in the palm of our hands.
At least that’s what we thought
Rose colored glasses
Filled with dreams, to the brim
You never slip my mind, though you might think so
Reminisce on when we were young
Time keeps passing by
You remain with me
Bittersweet memories
Those were the good days
Dancing in champagne
Those were the good days
Where did they all go?
Those were the good days
Laughter and no pain
Those were the good days
Where did they all go?

I'm on Fire

I don't know whose duty it is
To wipe my tears away
Maybe no-one signed up for this
Maybe it's time to pray
It's been a while
since you reared your face
Didn't even notice, you sitting right beside me.
I've been hanging on,
oh you make me blue
Sometimes you've been my friend
but now I'm so confused
I worry too much.
As soon as I wake up.
A constant fear, I'm not doing enough.
I don't wanna know
all the answers
I just wanna
feel okay
And when the world
starts to catch fire
I'm so tired
Can't you see I'm on fire?
I'm on fire.
Where there's a will, there's a way
I'ma figure it out, I'm gonna pray
I'm on fire.

Invisible Me
04:37

You’re feeling low and below
All the others in this fucked up reality
You hold back tears, you bite your tongue
You can’t be blamed for your vulnerability
They’re wanting you to put on a show
When you’re trying to figure out what's on your mind , you say.
Why can’t you see
This version of invisible me
Broken glass paths you’ve been before
Sifting and searching for a place soft under sand
Misunderstood you isolate
You can’t be blamed for your need to communicate
They’re wanting you to fit their mold
When you’re screaming out and growing wild , you say.
Why can’t you see
This version of invisible me
Feeling low and below
All the clouds in a storm
Sifting and searching through the sand
Look for a soft place to land
Try as you might to fit in
Want someone to understand
Why can’t you see
This version of invisible me

Cocoon

Gonna go out for a little drive
Just to clear my mind
This last week, slipped away
My cocoon, warm and safe
I just wanna hold your face
And I know, I know, I know
It’ll never be the same
Gonna get out of my heavy mind
Stop wasting time
Wasting away
Save this tragedy for another day
I only wish that you’d call me
My cocoon, there’s plenty of room
My arms, remain open for you
I mean no harm, that’s the truth
I just need some time
In my cocoon
My cocoon, there’s plenty of room
My arms, remain open for you
I mean no harm, that’s the truth
I just need some time
In my cocoon
