the szn

They say it's the season
For making love
I hope you've got a good reason
With heaven above
You see, we're all on a journey
Don't matter how you get there
Just keep loving each other
And darkness beware
Depends on the situation, between right or wrong
And your love by extension
Keeps me going strong
And while on the journey
Keep your head held high
The taste of your kiss is
Darling, it's making me fly
So keep the wheels spinning
Keep the radio on
You won't want to miss it, our favorite song
So let all your hair down
The breeze on our skin
Cause there's nothing to stop us, darling
From making us fly
And there's no simple way, to say I love you
But we read it all, on the palm of our hands
Yeah you've got the top, of my heart babe
So I'm begging you, please take my hand
Cause you're making me fly
Yeah you're making me fly

Perfect
03:57

What a perfect love could be
Cause darling, nothing says love
like the kind you share to me
I mirror it back onto you
But darling you, share the perfect love for me
Sometimes ego gets in the way
Two different worlds collide to form our planetary escape
And I promise that I'll always be true
Cause darling you, are the perfect one
Yeah it's true, that I'm the perfect one for you
Strong emotions, no matter what they are
If it's love or hate
That only means we belong in each other's arms
The light always outshines the dark
And yeah, it's true
That love is you
Darling you, share the perfect love for me
What is life, without living?
I'm no fool, I'm just here giving
My love to you
To you
Love is you

The Back of My Hand
03:23
|
|||
Well I can't explain, someone else's words
Falling from lips, and what you may have heard
To live in denial from one's greatest fears
Yesterday doesn't shed tomorrow's tears
As time fades away with each counting hand
Don't look back babe, all is in our plans
We've come so far to our promised land
Cause you read my mind like the back of your hand
The back of your hand
The words may hang
From the garden fence
Silk sheets from the window's bed
That's when the rain came pouring in
Cause I read your mind like the back of my hand
The back of my hand
The back of my hand
Each day with time a grain of sand
Pouring out in some barren land
Will to run no consequence
Cause you read my mind like the back of your hand
The back of your hand
Your lips are dry to the touch of my kiss
All swept up in the innocense
The wind at our backs, nobody on the fence
Cause we read their minds like the back of our hands
The back of our hands
The back of our hands

The Fire
02:35
|
|||
Taking time out from the fire
The smell of smoke was getting sour
Do you think they've had enough?
What it is a strange desire
Turn to look back with a smile
Neverending moment all the while
We knew that that much was true
Always closer next to you
They couldn't see for what it's worth
It was burning on the shore
I knew the feelings were true
When I felt it standing next to you
We knew the fault lines were there
Couldn't miss the moment anywhere
Taking time out from the storm
And sitting criss-cross next to you
So much for them to pick and choose
Socioeconomic counter-moves
The fire burned right past the shore
But this love burns forevermore
So much for their wicked games
We watched it all go up in flames
But my dear just having you
Turns my orange skies into blue
Yeah, back into blue

The Reason
03:18
|
|||
Don't need explanations
For past conversations
Some weird expectations
In brief conversations
Well you're talking to me slow
But I think you ought to know
Love has no reasons
That's the way it's gonna be, you and me
Some fool's entertainment
Some staged intervention
And some in denial
Well others, they just smile
Well hunny I've been jumping
At least I'm not a sucker
Cause everybody wants your attention
for a little while, and I'm just me
Everybody knows my family (and that's their fault)
For all the wrong reasons
Narcissistic aberration
Acute isolation
Well when your whole world is black
You know, I'm never looking back
Pulling strings just to prove
that we're meant to be, you and me
Our love is the reason
That's the way it's gonna be, you and me

Keeping Watch
02:57
|
|||
Found myself keeping watch
Through some broken glass
They say if you live alot
Then you might die real fast
Well I don't think that's true
Maybe they want it to
I'm not keeping score
Gave that up years ago
Now we're just fighting some war
Writing you letters back home
Yeah they'll find it's true
With our love brand new
Gonna fight this through
Baby, till I'm with you
Yeah, they'll know it's true
Like my love for you
Cause I've thought it through
Baby, my love for you
Baby, my love for you

Riptide
02:06
|
|||
Heard you coming round my side last night
Gonna be a real good time
We're gonna see everything we need to see
We're gonna be on the brightside
You heard me coming round your place last night
I'm only happy by your side
Are they gonna be on the right side of history?
Don't step into the riptide
Well we went dancing till the dawn of the morning light
Babe you know I love your blue eyes
When we got home, I'm laying between your theighs
You swept me up in your riptide

Hanging On the Phone
03:01
|
|||
They say when you're just friends
A ghost come round, right back again
We're hanging on the phone
Cold nights are long when you're all alone
Don't leave me with a busy dial-tone
Don't fake it whenever I call you
Baby, please come on home
Baby, just please come on home
They say when you make plans
Following shadows won't take you there
It's not just for pretend
Cause I know you'd wait just to meet me there
Don't leave me with a busy dial-tone
Don't fake it whenever I call you
Baby, please come on home
Baby, just please come on home
They're not just spinning shit
A war of emotion, noise, all of it
Your hand up on the dial
You turn it up for a little while
Don't leave me with a busy dial-tone
Don't fake it whenever I call you
Baby, please come on home
Baby, please come on home
Baby, please come on home
Baby, please come on home

the szn II
04:24
|
|||
It's a cold night, this time of year
But baby, I'm always right here
I call you up, when I need to hear your voice
Never really gave a damn, for all that noise
The season's long, they say it's closing soon
But you know me, like I know you
And you know that I'm coming home
Cause darling, I'm tired of being alone
Up in New York, where my heart belongs
Everyday I'm just trying to find my way back home
And you know
That I'll be home soon
Cause darling, gotta be loving you
Loving you
And you know
That I'll be home soon
Cause darling, gotta be next to you
Gotta be loving you
Loving you

Your Love Is Everywhere
04:37
|
|||
Alone, at night
Sometimes I wake from a dream
Too close. hindsight
What a strange reality
It snows
Late night
And then I wake from a dream
and there it goes
Your whole life
That one time left wondering
As far as the eye sees
Maybe it's clear
As far as what I see
Love is everywhere
No one spoke
And you know
How it's gonna be
I was soaked
In new clothes
Sometimes I stare out to sea
As far as the eye sees
It's starting to clear
As far as what I see
Your love is everywhere
And maybe what we all need
Is time away from despair
I think we can all agree
That love is everywhere

Photobook
03:07
|
|||
There's you and me on the floor last night
A photo of you by candlelight
Sometimes I wonder if the city wants us back
Now you're drawing chalk around my face
Outline no shadow, perfect trace
Then the lightbeams dance accross your face
Darling you glow
Yeah, you glow
We're not going anywhere
Don't change the color of your hair
You know that the city wants us back
They want us back
Now we're packing up the night
Flying above the city lights
It never really was that bright, cause darling you glow
Yeah, you glow

Forevermore
04:34
|
|||
In the morning, we have begun
A cup is brewing for everyone
And when I'm rolling, and miles away
I hope you're missing me today
Don't ask questions
Not much to say
Just keep rolling with me today
And in the evening, your perfect smile
You're wearing your hair down
For a little while
Let's go out babe
A night on the town
A perfect evening
Cause your love is my crown
They don't ask questions
Not anymore
Cause our love is forevermore
