Little Moon
04:10
|
|||
|
oh little moon, closing up the day
did you laugh, did you cry when he turned away
oh little moon, the only one
could you rock and could you roll
could you bring the sun
oh little moon, silver in the sky
do you see, do you hear, could I ask you why
oh little moon, our only one
i would kill and i would die
could you bring the sun

Life and Death
03:53
|
|||
|
i've been thinking about death
what would happen to my soul one day
when I breathe my last breath
would I leave or be far away?
so as long as I'm here
i want us to be together
till we're old and weak
i want us to live like this
all I have now
and all that I wanna get
nothing will matter
in the day of my death
so i'll say I love you
to the people that I care about
and that's what will matter
when It comes the day
i've been thinking about life
and all I wanna do with it
so much time I have left
that I keep wasting away
i wanna go back to this day
wanna be proud of myself
and to mum and dad:
you're the best I've ever had
the best I've ever had
i love you
i care
and that's what matters
today

Luna
03:06
|
|||
|
luna was her name
named after the moon
hanging in the sky
silver as a spoon
she was dancing in the wind
sun was setting in the west
she was shining on the hill
in a sparkly dress
luna was a friend
she wanted me to know
couldn't promise but she'd try
to make it to my show
moon is sinking in the hills
watching over me
crying all alone
wherever could she be

Wishing
03:32
|
|||
|
I think I saw a shooting star
But it might as well just been a satellite
but I made my wish already and I'm not giving up on it
cuz it's hard to win sometimes
I wanna live by the ocean
near the mountains where I grew up
but I said it out loud, now it's not gonna work out
I'll just stay in the city forever
I saw a spark in your eyes
but it might just been an allergy
but I'm not giving up on it, I think you're true and honest
and it's hard to find that in anyone
So stay with me if you want
I think we could have a good time
Stay up late playing cards
I'll probably lose anyway but it's fine

Peek
02:11
|
|||
|
feeling alone so i write a poem about home
and the girl that i knew
always a tease, what are you wearing beneath your dress
i wanna peek
silver is the plane where i sit and wait for a change
as i stare out over my state
but im stuck on the moon
maybe i'm doomed to a night without you in my room
maybe somehow

Sink
03:16
|
|||
|
singing her name
feeling her skin
holding her close
through the state i'm in
i don't care if it's sad
she exists in my head
there's a girl on my film
and the moon is sinking into the hills
always a place in my band
on the drums she could stand
to the girl on my film
and the moon sinking into the hills

Birthday
01:40
|
|||
|
I feel I'm getting smaller
I hold onto my body
sinking into the landscape
a piece of everything
my body's now transparent
I'm swimming in the water
the weather is nice
in an august night
my birthday's coming up
I'm getting older
I feel I'm getting smaller
I hold onto my body
roman candles exploding in the night sky
I'm afraid so I hide behind my mom
Roman candles exploding in the night sky
It's my birthday

Sometimes There
03:42
|
|||
|
phone it in
gotta go
standing still
growing old
you were there
by the door
waiting for
a miracle
"sometimes someone's there"

I'm Fading
01:38
|
|||
|
waiting for the bus to take me with you
i can see the moon shining through the window
what if i ever go away
would you come with me as well
haven't been myself
its been a month now
stuck inside my house
i can't get nothing done
something pulls me under my pillow
sleep all day
i don't wanna feel
i wanna be someone new
i wanna feel it all like you do
everything is fine but i cant stop feeling bad

Heavy Rain
05:22
|
|||
|
here comes the rain
heavy again
to wash me away
gone with the wind
how could i lose myself in front of you
show me again why the moon is my only friend
could you tell
honey i'm still suffering
always suffering
suffering
always suffering you
why keep calling out
when nobody is there
it's better i drown
than keep on wasting the air
could you tell
buddy i'm still suffering
always suffering
suffering
always suffering you

Silver Dress
03:40
|
|||
|
golden
golden in the sky
falling
fading out of sight
no one needs to know
silver
silver was her dress
scared of loving her to death

Mallorca
03:37
|
|||
|
there’s nothing left for us to do
we could lie down on the floor
count the stars, the moon is full
it’s summertime
in the summertime
I remember that time when I was blue
you called me up to say “we’re through”
I stayed at the bottom of the pool
screaming underwater
no one could hear me
months before grandpa died
chocolate milk and shaky hands
he forgot how to talk
I miss him so bad
I miss him so bad

Moon of Life
05:55
|
|||
|
thought i knew how to pray
spoke the words everyday
sang a song in the church
ceiling fan never works
silver plane in the sky
moon of life passing by
thought we knew how to stay
but golden sun burns away
