I'm Thinking of You
03:27

I see you flying, driving down the dirt road.
The dust keeps rising, no one can catch you.
The mountains smiling, coated in a light snow,
and the day is only half old.
Don't forget that, when we're oceans from each other
& the sun sets. If I'm not hanging with you brother
just know, as sure as the wind blows,
I'm thinking of you. I'm thinking of you.
You stop for water, down by the lakeside,
& the boat that's moored there, one day you'll own it.
Those birds are calling, up above you so high,
It's time to head back while it's still light.
Don't forget that, when we're oceans from each other
& the sun sets. If I'm not hanging with you brother
just know, as sure as the wind blows,
I'm thinking of you. I'm thinking of you.
on your mega trip, as you're kicking it.
Never giving in.
Don't forget that, when we're oceans from each other
& the sun sets. If I'm not hanging with you brother
Just know, as sure as the wind blows,
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you,
I'm thinking of you, I'm thinking of you.

You Could Be It

You see this weight here, that's been holding you down.
You gotta shake it, drive that van out of town.
& conquer this lunacy, lunacy. that's thrown you off & put you to sleep.
‘Cause there's this aching, that keeps lurking inside.
Forever snaking, winding you up 'till you die.
Will you just let it be, let it be, or take up the call & set yourself free.
You could be it, you could you be it.
to bring this about, to knock this beast out.
You could be it, you could you be it.
So get this cooking, without me looking
over my shoulder at you, strait back at you.
Change the station, just create your own sound.
Feel the elation, as you stand tall with your crown.
To sort out this lunacy, lunacy.
Dragging this lie, out by it's feet.
You could be it, you could you be it.
to bring this about, to knock this beast out.
You could be it, you could you be it.
So get this cooking, without me looking
over my shoulder at you, strait back at you.
Lunacy, Let it be.
You could be it, you could you be it.
to bring this about, to knock this beast out.
You could be it, you could you be it.
So get this cooking, without me looking
over my shoulder at you, strait back at you.
At you, strait back at you.

When the sun came it hit me like a hurricane
& it felt right, yeah it felt right.
In the morning I lapped up all it's energy
& it felt right, yeah it felt right.
& It took the weight off.
Yeah It took the weight off.
Coming over the hill, rising above the field.
& on my light skin, it flooded through my pours again
& made me think strait, it made me think strait.
Such a strong hit acting like a medicine,
It made me think strait, yeah I could think strait.
& It took the weight off.
Yeah It took the weight off.
Coming over the hill, rising above the field.
Yeah, yeah, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, yeah.
& It took the weight off.
Yeah It took the weight off.
Coming over the hill, rising above the field.

A Girl Called Chrissie
03:28

I snuggled closer when the lights went out, as the storm hit town.
I'd hardly known her, while we rode the sound, with not a soul around.
& I thought ooh, ooh, ooh ooh wee.
I've drifted away, I've drifted away.
I've kinda gone missing, with a girl called Chrissie.
I've drifted away, I've drifted away.
Getting so deep down with her.
with a girl called Chrissie.
She took her robe off as the wind picked up, she said she was warm enough,
& I felt like gold, 'cause she winked & grinned, then she let me in,
& I thought ooh, ooh, ooh ooh wee.
I've drifted away, I've drifted away.
I've kinda gone missing, with a girl called Chrissie.
I've drifted away, I’ve drifted away.
Getting so deep down with her.
with a girl called Chrissie.
We rode the sound.
She winked & grinned, oh yes she did.
& I thought ooh, ooh, ooh ooh wee.
Yeah.
I've drifted away, I've drifted away.
I've kinda gone missing, with a girl called Chrissie.
I've drifted away, I’ve drifted away.
Getting so deep down with her.
with a girl called Chrissie.
I snuggled closer when the lights went out, as the storm hit town.

Well I thought I‘s dreaming, but the pains not leaving, It‘s just working through. ‘Cause instead of you crying, all there is is silence. As I sing to you.
I just hope that you‘re free as a bird. Sitting up on the highest perch, Looking down at the ocean.
With the sun in your face, hear the breaking of waves, all the ships in slow motion, looking down at the ocean. With the wind in your hair, as you smell that sea air. Not a word need be spoken, looking down at the ocean.
Well I know you‘re out there, hanging with me & your Mama too. Flying so bright, with all that star light taking care of you.
& I just hope that you‘re free as a bird. Sitting up on the highest perch, Looking down at the ocean.
With the sun in your face, hear the breaking of waves, all the ships in slow motion, looking down at the ocean. With the wind in your hair, as you smell that sea air. Not a word need be spoken, looking down at the ocean.

First you told me that you landed,
but it was really just in some sand on a film set in the desert.
Then your new age, tried to grab me,
You said ''chill! live in the now, It's fantastic! Come on relinquish your assets.''
You just about pulled it off.
But instead of sucking me in, I started wearing you out,
& you'd gone & put it fully on display (put it fully on).
Never ever letting you win of which there can be no doubt,
'cause you seemed to be stuck with nothing left to say.
Next you said planes then you said bombs.
It checks out that both are wrong 'cause the dust cloud set off alarm bells.
So to stay sane I believed that all you suits would right it all,
but my country is really a company.
You just about pulled it off.
But instead of sucking me in, I started wearing you out,
& you'd gone & put it fully on display (put it fully on).
Never ever letting you win of which there can be no doubt,
'cause you seemed to be stuck with nothing left to say.
All this water you've treaded it must have made you so giddy.
Ooh the clues I started getting had you going nowhere.
but you just about pulled it off.
But instead of sucking me in, I started wearing you out,
& you'd gone & put it fully on display (put it fully on).
Never ever letting you win of which there can be no doubt,
'cause you seemed to be stuck with nothing left to say.
Yeah you seemed to be stuck with nothing left to say.
Yeah you seemed to be stuck with nothing left to say.

You Turn Away from Me
03:06
|
|||
|
Here I am stuck in this space.
Back & fourth not knowing my place in the bigger mix, don't feel part of it.
'Cause my keys seem to be lost,
to the breeze possibly tossed for a better fit. I'm not getting this.
I'm tumbling, I'm rolling, I'm gone.
As you turn away from me, you turn away from me.
I can't hear a sound as you pull my house down.
You turn away from me, you turn away from me.
I'm worn & I'm done & It looks like you've won as you turn away.
All I eat's becoming so laced, Oh so stale, from a time I can't trace.
I've bitten In, to the bitter end. (yeah, yeah, yeah)
As this scene's starting to close, where I'll land, I really don't know.
This begin again has started kicking in.
I'm tumbling, I'm rolling, I'm gone.
As you turn away from me, you turn away from me.
I can't hear a sound as you pull my house down.
You turn away from me, you turn away from me.
I'm worn & I'm done & It looks like you've won as you turn away.
Oh oh oh oh oh x2 (as you turn away)
Oh oh oh oh oh x2
You turn away from me, you turn away from me.
I can't hear a sound as you pull my house down.
You turn away from me, you turn away from me yeah.
I'm worn & I'm done & It looks like you've won as you turn away.

Oblivious
03:05
|
|||
|
I'm glued to my phone, I'm chewing on gum,
I haven't ascertained why I'm stone cold dumb & I can't find my way home.
I'm mooching around I'm stumbling along, looking for another shot in my arm,
to seep right down to my bones
I'm not faking, I'm kinda dangerous, I've all but given up.
That's why I keep drinking,
It saves me from thinking for myself at last.
It's easier staying oblivious.
My heads in the clouds, I'm shooting the breeze.
I'm oh so busy watching some celebrity sneeze & I have nothing to give.
Oh just look in my eyes it's as clear as the days, I'm tumbling & I'm turning in this one big haze.
Stranded out on this limb.
I've started shaking, my body's breaking, I'm so beyond repair.
That's why I keep drinking,
It saves me from thinking for myself at last.
It's easier staying oblivious.
Now I don't wanna begin, finding who I truly am,
'cause I might strike peace within me.
I'm not faking, I'm kinda dangerous, I've all but given up.
That's why I keep drinking,
It saves me from thinking for myself at last.
It's easier staying oblivious.
A little more drinking,
a lot less thinking for myself at last.
It's easier staying oblivious.

Ride of Your Life
02:52

You‘re part of me I‘m yet to see, floating in a bubble of dream time. Your little heart has
made a start, soon you will be firing so bright.
You can be anything.
You can go & fly high in a ship you‘ve designed, on the ride of your life. You can sing your own tune to a jam packed room, on the ride of your life.
The time is near, you‘ll soon appear & everything will change from then on. Your baby
face will fill that space, as I watch you dancing along.
You can be anything.
You can go & fly high in a ship you‘ve designed, on the ride of your life. You can sing your own tune to a jam packed room, on the ride of your life.
Yeah, yeah, I‘m setting it up everything is out here waiting for you yeah. I‘m bigging you
up & I feel this strong anticipation building.
Ooh ooh, on the ride of your life x2
You can go & fly high in a ship you‘ve designed, on the ride of your life. You can sing your own tune to a jam packed room, on the ride of your life.

Where Did You Go
03:11
|

|
I saw you landing you looked so stranded,
Then you closed your eyes & made an exit.
You sent a message maybe I read it.
Still I can't stop thinking, no I can't stop thinking.
Oh where did you go?
Can you hear now, can you hear now?
Oh I want to know.
If you still play, is there night & day?
Well here I'm standing with arms so empty.
My spirit tested my shoulders heavy.
'Cause the way you faded out, It seemed so easy.
Still I can't stop thinking, no I can't stop thinking.
Oh where did you go?
Can you hear now, can you hear now?
Oh I want to know.
If you still play, is there night & day?
No words needed,
This love runs deep yeah.
I hope we'll meet again.
Oh where did you go?
Can you hear now, can you hear now?
Oh I want to know.
If you still play, is there night & day?
