Seems like only yesterday but yesterday seems so long ago So where does the time go? and where did my mind go? (x2) I didn't think we could but we lost each other in this world it's crazy, but I'm gonna get you back Summer come again please I need you You can make it alright Sun come again please I need you in my life Take me back to the water (x2) Let it hold me, let it embrace me Yeah, let it become me Hold me, love me, become me, embrace me Hold me, love me, love me (yeah)

Currents 03:10
Most of us are always treading water You call it home but it's the place you hate the most Live for the days that you get carried to shore But soon enough the waves will suck you dry to your core (Chorus ) You ride the current so smoothly You and I do it every day, until it's easy Another day, another sleepless night Stuck to your bed until you force your eyes to the light In a minute you forget the night's dreams Take a breath and wish you could fall back asleep (Chorus) It seems easy It seems good but I know that you know, there's so much more It seems easy It seems good But I hope that you know, there's so much more

Dunes 03:55
I swam to the middle of a lake I was alone, I was cold but it was no mistake I contemplated if I could make it back to shore a thousand times I blinked my eyes and I was there then it started raining Dunes make me feel like I'm running out of time While I was crawling on my hands I wondered why, haven't I been doing this all of my life? You're only getting harder to climb Oh dunes, you make me feel so alive You're always on my mind How about you come keep me company I'm up here I never said that i was lonely but I could use some company up here

Portals 04:02
I've seen you with your guns and knives you think you're dangerous Pretend that you don't see what's right there how mysterious You're looking nervously around Everybody's in disguise Still you keep your eyes to the ground Take a look around It's the same old town I think I'll find a way to get lost Into the jungle I go Spears being thrown everywhere Find the tallest tree to climb Only seen by the birds as they fly Headfirst in quicksand I go No fear of being swallowed whole Spit me out into a cove Grow my food, build a home on my own Into the jungle I go Spears being thrown everywhere Find the tallest tree to climb Sit and stare at the sky And as I'm breathing I try to remember what I'm feeling Cause what I'm feeling is everything that I love
5.
Say you know me, I know you do Show me how I used to move Trace the paths under my hands with my back against the tree I watch you, free (chorus) so come around these streets again in my veins and in my head on my feet I feel so weak but if you show me that you know me then I will run, yeah I will run back to where I'm from child of the sun Counting sheep, it's been so long Dreamt I played hide and seek but I got lost I fell asleep at the foot of a tree You woke me up, and then I woke up (chorus) Let's run away, make me come alive
6.
every day waking up never get enough rest wish i could disappear under my blanket sick of hearing everybody complain and i'm sick of myself, cause i'm the same and i'm sick of people thinking it'll all work out one day sick of hearing that everything will be okay so sick of hearing that everything will be okay i'm sick of hearing that it'll all work out one day cause it won't unless you make it no it won't until it's yours for the taking you've got the freedom to be what you want so you're sitting at home on your couch and you're eating shit while you're watching tv and soaking up pure stupidity if that's what you're gonna do, then that is what you're going to do x2 drink every night away, drink so much you don't remember a thing sleeping the day away, sleep so much you forget about your dreams you forget about your dreams you don't remember anything you make yourself the way that you are sick of people thinking it'll all work out one day sick of hearing that everything will be okay so sick of hearing that everything will be okay i'm sick of hearing that it'll all work out one day cause it won't unless you make it no it won't until it's yours for the taking
7.
in the hot heat in the hot summer heat livin' a dream with the forest and the beach livin' the dream you say hi, i say hey i know that we are both okay nothing's complicated today nothing's hard today we are both okay we're better than okay and when you put me to bed sleeping next to your head cradled into your chest i can't say it's not the best why can't it always be like this? why's it gotta change on me? i just want the sun and you no i cant think of a way a way thats better than today that i'd wanna spend my day i know that there is no such thing there's no such thing better than today when we're running around cant keep our feet on the ground cant keep my head from being in the clouds and i'm sandier than ever
8.
Habitats 05:07
I close my eyes, shut out all of the light tonight It's time to dream, about you and me We have come so far And like a tree to a bird, I am your home Like a deer in the woods, there's no place like your own Habitat, your habitat I wish the sky, would always shine Like it does when we are aligned Oh it's been a road, but I know you are my home and I can always call you my habitat Your habitat, you hang around me I've got what you need and it's a mutual thing Your habitat, my habitat Your habitat is my habitat
9.
Melancholia 02:57
As long as you are living comfortably You don't care about anything How about the world that exists outside of your own? The fucked up one you choose to ignore So what are you gonna do now? You've already sunk Hope and watched her drown Still you're sitting high with your head on the ground rolling around, rolling freely around All these people, they don't know That's the way it goes As long as you are living comfortably
10.
Empty Houses 05:28
come here baby hold me close keep me near come here baby hold me close keep me near you know what i know and you feel what i feel we cant keep acting old if we're gonna survive out here we've got so far to go out here the winter's so cold and there's no trails to follow in the snow we made our own, we'll make our own when we find our home we'll find our gold so come here baby hold me close keep me near
